Is she not? Low talent and even more lazy and I don't even want to talk about things outside it they aren't good either while the dudes we are talking about could have a Harem of women better than Rin or even pull the strongest baddie at the least if they are going monogamy.
The only reason she was able to get Immortal cores advancement was because of Jin yeah because jin unlocked it as his twin becomes no issue for her it was even answered in Q and A lol.
If Rin pulled her weight Jin would be better off aswell poor lil bro.

I don't think it's fair to call her lazy because unlike Jin and the MC she never really wanted to be a martial artist

 

[Diamondhead]

Not even mountain level brother, by this Nick metric the Shangtians are genuinely Sun level . 10³⁵ times stronger than a mortal...

That's what I am saying people don't understand how stupid it gets.
LIke it starts slow but each time so many times Lmaoo I don't think niki has any understanding of it that whatever big number of power he thought now is 10 times and whatever number of" >" he does makes it a 10 times of that number like bro could have said 100 times difference and that would be two of ">".

 

[fattywang]

Sure. Anyway, mind you:

Each one ">" is a 10 times difference by the way. At least physically as Nicky explained about the Houtian level stats in the Discord.
So yes, he can be extremely inconsistent sometimes to what regards Powerscaling.
I'll mainly keep reading the book to determine the characters battle prowess.

Where did he say ">" is ten times the difference? I doubt he'd actually assign numbers into this, because it looks more like he's trying to convey the feel of the difference in power rather then giving an accurate measurements. Which would be stupid anyway because trying to add hard numbers will just make things worse when he's inevitably not consistent.

I chose the earth element, but I didn't notice much difference in the AP gain from Weighted Clothing.

Could someone explain how the AP gain calculation for Weighted Clothing works?

Could someone explain how the AP gain calculation for Weighted Clothing works?

As I understand it, Mido style, athletics points, athletic bodytype, Earth element all add to the training weights base value. Earth element alone is a small increase so that's probably why you didn't feel much difference, you'd want to pair it with high athletics.

Additionally, Weighted Clothing (specifically the weighted clothing that you obtain at the start and can upgrade in Chapter 6) isn't the best one available in the game. If you happen to acquire the Lanternweaver Weighted Wraps or the Waverunner Armor you should equip them, as they grant higher base AP gains. But for most of the game you're stuck with the former.

As for the calculation itself, I think each item I mentioned is an extra 2 AP? Including each point in athletics, but don't quote me on that dude, I'm just going off memory here.

Hello everyone!

I have taken upon myself to create a new mod for the latest chapter by using Johann's mod menu as the base. I have added several new features that had me rewriting a lot of the game's code, but I've done enough testing to make sure it works well enough.

The features include:

Styles

1. The ability to select and play with any combination of the styles, including all of them at once. So you get all selected style bonuses, events, special choices etc., except those which are tied to the companion who trains you in the style.

2. To get around the inconsistency with the timeline and who trained you in your style, right after you select your potential, there will be a question as to what your 'Main Style' is. It is explained there as well, but basically the story will treat it as if you had this Style as the main one, and style exclusive events that happen at the same time will be chosen based on this decision. The abilites and features of the styles are not affected by this - only the story paths. If you want to change the main style and who your mentor is, you can do so at anytime in the Mod Menu. I do not recommend it though, as some incosistencies or bugs will follow. Also I might have missed a few minor things here and there, so sometimes events that haven't happened might be mentioned.

3. Edited some text and like 1-3 lines of dialogue to reflect if you have all styles. In cases where it checks for style to determine what type of Chi description to output, it will default to your main style that you selected. If you have selected Divine Potential (all styles), the descriptiors will reflect that, stating Divine Chi whenever such a moment occurs. Your aura will also default to Divine + Any element you choose if you have All Styles selected.

Elements & Bodytypes & Backgrounds

1. Added the ability to select either all elements or any combination of any number of elements at once. This is done through the Mod Menu, there is a checklist if you want to select manually or a button that adds all of them at once. Your highest element rank will be treated as the rank for all of them if you added them through the mod menu. Otherwise if you obtain it through playing the game, the applicable one should be the one checked for.

2. Added the ability to select all bodytypes at once. You will be treated as if you have applicable bodytype for any event or check. Due to conflicting text between the Short and Petite, and other bodytypes, the Chameleon and Cuttlefish options don't include them. However if you want to you can select or remove it separately in the Menu. These options should be used only according to your selected gender.

Don't forget to have at least one bodytype set if you want to remove your old one.

3. Added the ability to select all backgrounds at once or in any combination of the 4. This will trigger all the events associated with them, but events that happen at the same time are set in an order and only one will trigger. For example if you select all backgrounds before you get the Roc from the Trapper background, only that event will trigger. Otherwise continuity is lost and some text will be repeated.

Don't forget to have at least one background set if you want to remove your old one.

Keep in mind that due to how the game calculates bonuses to Aura Pressure and some combat checks, if you select All Elements, Bodytypes, Backgrounds - you will gain an enormous boost in AP gains. If you want a relatively balanced experience - obviously don't select everything.

UI

To accomodate some of the changes and to make everything more clear, I changed the UI in some places of the main stat page to reflect additional elements and styles. May be buggy, but seems to work well enough.


P.S - I actually have absolutely zero experience with Twine and/or SugarCube and all that I did here was through basic programming knowledge and looking at the code and just adapting whatever I saw.

If you guys have any reccomendations or if you encounter something that breaks the game or some sort of bug - let me know and I'll fix it as soon as I'm able.

Great, fantastic work, does this also have an all foundations combo or is that unachievable?

Last i checked the calc goes: it checks weight stat - current chapter number (the normal weighted clothing gives +5, waverunner armor gives +7, flowing lantern gives +10 and improving the weighted clothing in chapter 6 gives base +4). The min amount is 3 and max is 8. Then, earth, blacksmith and the correct bodytype gives +1 each. Mido gets bonus depending on style rank (each rank gives +1) and athletics ( +1 for every two athletics). Lastly, all styles (mido included) gets athletics*1.4 ap. So mido technically gets athletics*1.9.

If I increase my mastery of the earth element, will it improve my PA gain?

Nope, only mido gets rank bonus

Which Exalt could be JDF ?

That's way more complex than I remember. I thought the waverunner armor was bettter than the improved weights too for some reason lol

Well, great info to keep in mind for my next run.

[galiere]

Oh, it is better. Improved weights increase the base by 4, not just the normal weighted clothing. So, as long as you made them in chapter 6, you now will always have +4 at all times, no matter which weighted clothing you use

 

[Marthur]

Which Exalt could be JDF ?

Consider that we know of Masaru I would be incline to think he is not (even if his clan name means "mountain dragon" according to my lackluster knowledge of Japanese).

The Wild Exalt is the strongest one but technically most of the time they are the strongest from what I remember.

The Sacred and Cursed Exalts we don't know anything about them personally.

And finally the Mystic Exalt killed an Akuma Lord.

My hunch is Mystic and Wild as a second choice.

Thinking of doing an Akakiru ML playthrough next.

Do you think going Limitbreaker Akakiru would result in a more melee/h2h focused fighting style down the line, since you aren't hyperfocusing on the sword?

Also, weirdly, Akakiru has a weirdly good amount of evidence to argue they are the "canonical" choice. MC has instant mastery of weapons (which I believe Anon has explained why MC can use any weapon pretty well without any formal training - they are just naturally talented in that aspect). Leona is the only style mentor character that the story forces you to interact with for a good chunk of the story. And Keiko is the daughter of the Bladed Exalt.

I do not know.
It's not Masaru tho.

I mean, you can almost say that to the other styles as well.

Aoyu kinda gives main character energy with how it can fit with all of the backgrounds. Angelo also has a presence that you can rarely ignore, heck, I think of all the male training partners you get, he's been the most present in the story even if you take a different style, and your entire style is like a direct opposite to your major enemies (Akuma Bums). Not to mention how it kinda emphasizes the whole "power of friendship" with how prayers or just general wishes literally fuel said style.

Mido fits like a glove with the Thunderfall Sect, your home sect that focuses on the style, so it would make sense to have this as a canon option as well. Add in your whole rivalry with Jack, and it turns into a "who does it better" situation, which makes your rivalry all that more significant. The Asura form also implies a bit of significance, considering that it's a very unique transformation compared to, say, Titan. And with the addition of the Stallion Trial, I'd argue Tian Fang also has her own significance in the story (GOD TIAN FANG QUEST WHEN!? I BEG! PLEEEEEEEAAAAAASE!)

Kurokonton has you becoming involved with an ascended immortal in the form of Big Bossrozal, which only really becomes even more present if you picked the style. Dai Guiren and his gaggle of bobbleheads (affectionate) is also weirdly present in moments you'd least expect, not really as much as Leona admittedly, but they are there, which fits their entire ninja thing. And much like with Keiko, it also kinda makes sense for her to have her own personal ninja just as much as how an Akakiru practitioner would make sense as her personal samurai, the whole samurai vs ninja stuff... even though she most likely already has ninjas or samurais under her command.

And then there's Kiihakai. If you think about it, this style works almost reverse to how Mido would fit with Thunderfall, meaning it can be canon in the sense that you're, indeed, the "Black Sheep" of Thunderfall, literally using a style that's almost the direct opposite of your home sect. Add in your rivalry with Jack, and it's like being polar opposites of each other, which gives even more credence to your whole rivalry. There's also Dessy and her crew, which not only sets you up to conflict with a noble (as many Xianxia protags do), but is also weirdly present in a lot of moments, especially if you take Dream Dessy into account.

So yeah... It's honestly a testament to Anon's writing that each of the styles FEELS like they're canon in their own ways.

If Anon could only write with one Mc it would be Mido so yeah there is that it also has the rivalry factor rivals have same style and also your Area's style.Also having leadership abilities and what not and the most fight heavy style.Asura also being the special Transformation helps

Aoyu also has pretty good stuff with power against Demonic and also the leadership aspect and also Angelo fits like an op early mentor.

Akakiru also does work because of the fight heavy aspect and then later with Keiko's help it gives decent meaning to it.

Now kuro and Kii they are what would never be the the first pick because they aren't really fight heavy styles mc does it but those two have a lot of stuff to do outside and their fighting style isn't what you want from a mc even our MC doesn't fight like the typical dude of these two styles he boxes lol.

Also Some of the things like Guiren stuff doesn't help Guiren kills Manzo for killing one of his subordinates mind you this is why he kills manzo and doesn't listen to his offer so principle right.Same Guiren still teaches you even though you killed one of his subordinate in the tavern lol.Now sure he isn't allowed to kill but people are still doing it but let's leave that aside he teaches you styles chi one thing is not attempting to kill you another is this tho.

All that said all styles mc are canon Afterall this is a choose your own story.So all of this i was typed was for fun only.

 

[Garth1995]

This thread really exploded in April after the update. Before it didn't even have 100 pages and now it has a ****ing 204 pages, holy ****.

 

[KUROLizard]

Oh another point is that Akakiru is the only style not represented in the Top 5 - though I suppose Lost Jester's style is still unknown.

But yeah, all of the other styles have their own "canon" points. I do think Akakiru has the most in that regard tho, at least right now.
