Favorite Build For Page Farming?

[Jeff]

I was doing runs to gather pages and wondering what people's favorite or most consistent build is. Specifically once you have unlocked all the different challenge run options for new game+.

I have been using Aurora and Sorocco and doing a Curious Biomancer/Hammertime build whenever possible.

Doing 3-5-2 for the challenge options for a level 10 run. Could probably do 5-5-5 but the runs are a bit slower and more painful.

I don't think grinding is really necessary. Get to Epilogue 5 and after that it's not that many runs until the pages are filled anyway and you already have all the vital improvements.

Seifer and Aurora or Sorocco. Basically, you just get yourself a Krog's Dinner and Whiplash/Promote/Chosen One and keep buffing it. Not having to worry about health puts Seifer firmly at the top. Taking Aurora is just an extension of not having to worry about health. Personally, I like taking Sorocco with Seifer because Lavasurge Axolotl pairs brilliantly with Seifer ally buffing. Putting a Boomerang/Phasestone on a Roll Out will also snowball your shielding pretty fast.

Most of that is irrelevant, though. Your best bet is to make sure you're not taking too many cards. I know talents seem good and you'll often run across cards that make you think "well, that's pretty good, can't hurt to take it," but eventually you'll end up with a litany of 'pretty good' cards that strangle your ability to play your actual good cards.

EDIT: I should note that my favorite to play is Sharra and she's not exactly a slouch either. It's just that she's very unforgiving on bad turns without a way to heal up reliably.

Once you get all the one-time bonuses the grind is a little rough. i only have 4 or 5 unlocks left, but theyre 640 each and my last run (14? 13?) Gave me 350ish...

Yeah I'm in the same position. I realized that if I just focus on the achievements, the pages will come before the achievements finish.

The one that will finish last is the "visit 500 gem mines". So I just focus on hitting a gem mine if it's available, and don't really prioritize anything else.
