No NGU challenge in evil

[76561199468948704]

challenges are fairly easy. I got throught all 5 of basic, no aug, and 100 level in 30 minutes each and the first troll chalenge in less than an hour.

So it says in this cblock 3 i am supposed to do 1 no NGU challenge. It has been 10 minutes and I cannot beat the first piece of fluff boss 1, and my attack and defence is in the negative, even with my beards now going.

Is this normal or is their something i am missing?

The key for that challenge are fruits, specifically fruit of power beta.
It means that you won't be able to do quick rebirths, but if you got the quicker power fruit beta activation perk from itopod then you should unlock it at the 30 minutes mark.

You might need to do it twice to get to the target boss, so it is definitely not one of the quickest challenges to do.
On the other hand, it shows you quite clearly just how big NGUs are to your bonuses.

Yes, it's normal. If you check the stat breakdown, evil adds a huge difficulty divider to attack/defense. Your NGUs may be the 2nd or 3rd highest multiplier and you lose that. NUMBER is probably the biggest and that is reset to x1 when you start a challenge. The other big multiplier is from augs, which you can't run yet.

Basically, you don't have enough multipliers to push your base attack/defense (from basic training) high enough to overcome the divider. The NO NGU challenges start very slow because of this.

alright thanks. probably should have waited for 30 minutes.
