Edit: This is about Nightmare difficulty obviously.
The biggest problem with using True Cloak and Dagger is that you are actually increasing the instances of you having less reserve delay, which results in more turn shuffling and at times not being able to get key arts off. The battle with Mueller is not about more turns, it is about predictable and controllable turns.
True Cloak and Dagger has a place but to use it solely over True Dual Strike disrupts the flow of battle. Of course only using True Dual Strike is also bad since you need to be flexibile at times. The battle against Mueller is tough, and even with the strategy you won't win against him 100%. Thus the key is to reduce variability as much as possible.
That's so good to hear Hagen. I still feel like a total moron when a GoG player came onto the boss thread and said "Hey Slyphen Guard doesn't seem to help at all!" and my reply was an almost total dismissal. It was something like "What? No way! You're totally kidding!" Biggest /facepalm moment of my life (some kind of "professional" I was). I'll definitely remember it for next time... I still need to apologize to that guy. I have a feeling Sara had probably fixed it long ago but GoG was SUPER slow on the update.
Didn't quite catch the entirety of Xiao's post. I'm with Walke on this one. While it's actually really sound advice to check your delays with True Cloak and Dagger to see if you will get another double turn it's a bad idea to actually use it. As a player doing a NG Nightmare run on Mueller you've generally have enough on your plate to keep track of without disrupting your double turn order. Buffs falling off? Mueller Blade Dancer in 2 turns or 1? How the ever living hell am I going to deal with that double crit turn + str 50 2 turns after? Stuff like that. Half the reason you don't want Mueller hitting you with Hound Gale is so it doesn't screw up your delays. Nothing like sitting there on the turn that should've been your double with Mueller glaring at you because he just axed Josette one turn early. I spent half of one fight one time just trying to get my Slyphen Guard up. I can tell you one thing... getting your "flow" disrupted sucks.
There's a certain irony though that all my wins have been AFTER he's smacked me with the Gale.
That was me. :D Initially I was put off a bit. But you and Walke were super helpul even though you didnt believe me. So don't worry about it. And yes GoG was slow to upate stuff. For instance, Time Gem and Heaven's Eye were also bugged and are now working as far as I can tell.
Edit: Gratz on the win btw. Wait did I already type that? Cripes! I swear i'm slowly losing it...
