All New Battle Symbols (1/2)

[Flygoniaks]

ENORMOUS SPOILER WARNING

So, I've actually found the English descriptions of all the new Battle Symbols, and now that they've been implemented, I can give you this massive list.

One thing that should be noted: This was found in the game files a few days ago. Thus, the information here is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate.

Some Symbols may have been changed since last week's update, or some might not be fully implemented yet, but hopefully this will be relevant.

Also, the number of times you have to do these may have changed since last week. If I have time, I'll check to see if anything's been changed.

I had to split this into 2 parts, probably because Steam has an invisible limit on post length.
Update 1: Checked the files, no meaningful changes to descriptions. Checking numbers now.
Update 2: Added missing numbers, but marked those I'm skeptical of with question marks.
Update 3: Added a description of what the Battle Symbols look like.
Update 4: Changed the condition of some Symbols to match recent discoveries.

For Rose's Hat you have to FAIL the Rip Space roll w/ 10 charge? That's literally a 0.1% chance. Jesus Christ PM, have mercy.

Actually it's a 1% chance, which is slightly better, but that's still pretty dumb.
I'd recommend just doing it on the Rats, since it doesn't seem to be chapter specific.

Edit: Confirmed that this Symbol is NOT specific to Urban Nigthmare!

[Traumaturgy]

I tried to get the BoD v. BoD symbol, but it didn't seem to work. The opponent Yujin's BoD didn't roll 4, while mine did, so is it required to be a 4 trigger on both ends? In which case, this is gonna suck, because then you'd have to get Stiletto and Wedge to really guarantee it winning, and even then, that's annoying as heck.

[CarThief]

Maybe it just doesn't work. I tried getting Uncanny Grin (from Cane Office) but that didn't stick so far, either. In theory it asks for 6 "procs" of the Uncanny Strike card's ability, and since it has a limit of 3, using two of them with 6+ Charge each should get you to 36 stagger damage.

Yet, i used that card like 6 to 8 times, nothing. In a SotC reception (first Cane Office, then Thumb Reception 1). So i'm guessing there's going to be a lot of not very functional battle symbol unlocks, hm...
(And for good measure I also tried using it on a staggered enemy, thinking it'd require a TOTAL of 36+ stagger, but nope.)

Well, there's plenty of others to try atleast. I don't mind these requirements if they where global unlocks, though. But the fact you'd have to do insane things per librarian is... Very grindy. (Screw stuff like Rose's 1% though. That's just sadistic.)

Edit: Well, for whatever reason it unlocked this time (despite terrible card RNG at getting enough Charge to use it fully). Guess sometimes one has to try several times.

The description is literally just "Win 1 clashes against 'Boundary of Death' using said Combat Page," so I don't know if it's expecting both to roll a natural 4, if it's bugged, or what.

Dunno what to say for that one, the description I used is word-for-word what is in the game. You sure it was in a single act? Test it a little more and if you don't get it, you might want to put it in the bug report so they are aware of this. Thanks for the notice!

I decided to try and get that Battle Symbol on a single librarian because I wanted the hat just before I came back here. It took me TWO HOURS to get this to happen ONCE.

I'd recommend just going for Veteran Commander instead, it occupies the same slot and has an effect which is slightly different, but still works with the Charge playstyle. And it is SO easy to get, it isn't even restricted to chapter 6! I got it from the Kurokumo Clan.

[CarThief]

Well, i got it to work this time around. Perhaps it needed 36 stagger damage on a single target rather then spread around? Might've failed due to a one-time fluke or something.

Though i mainly go for them based on their looks, with how inconsequential their effects tend to be. Still rather unfortunate we can't just do the unlock conditions once and get it for everyone, just like appearance projection and key page appearances.

And thus my inability to do simple math rears its ugly head once more.

*it's still a bs unlock condition though*

Agreed. I think something like "have Rip Space succeed at 5 or less Charge" would be better.
