I Need Advice w/World Tour, Please

[Shadow The Innkeep]

I got to lvl 51, and suddenly there is a huge difficulty spike. Any "bosses" at lvl 45 absolutely destroy me. Rashid is just annoying. I can't beat him, no matter how I try. And that's with 6 levels difference, that's crazy!

I'm confused, am I supposed to grind levels just to outlevel enemies or am I missing smth?! I haven't had issues beating pretty much anyone until this point in the story. What is happening?!

Cheese the AI with a move they don't know how to respond to, Gladius for example, but there are others.

You also should heal while in the middle of the fight, and use supoort items that enhance attributes.

Hard to cheese AI that doesn't stop hitting. Rashid, I mean. He's pretty relentless. Especially with grabs. I'm not sure if he's too fast & I'm too slow or my controller has too much of a delay to respond. The other dude that has been beating me sensless is that guy in the resistance that uses Marisa's fighting style and I have no idea how to fight against her armored charged attack. If you got advice for those two (as they are my main issue), I'm all ears.

I do have an issue of lacking healing items, true. I went on a bit of tantrum beating up locals for their energy drink It's a shame really, I had a ton of them at some point, now can barely find them.

I bought many of those. I generally tried having enough money to buy them, but may have missed a couple. Hm, i might actually grind some money and go check which of those I missed. Good reminder, thanks!

I was in the same situation when I played World Tour. I reached almost the ending but couldn't progress further. That's when I realized I had completely forgotten about the skill tree thingy. I forgot to level up in that. Once I did, the rest was easy

Enhance your clothing items. That will also boost your stats.

I have maxed out Blanka jammies. I haven't seen anything that would surpass that outfit. Is there smth better?

You should have plenty of side quest to level up no ?
Rashid for me is end game content, as any DLC character quest.
World Tour went smooth for me because I played slowly. I did not had a suddent rise in difficulty.
Never use the blanka costume neither, isnt't it taking two spot of cloths, do not remember.

I cleared up most of them, even winning classic control battle against Alice (which was surprising). I think the only side quests I have left are "trigger pressure time" with... one of the brothers (not Tracy, the other one). I just don't understand the mechanic and end up being too slow to do it in-time. Plus the dude doesn't exactly give you that many opportunities to begin with.

I didn't even think he'd be OP bc he's DLC. Good point! I kinda forgot that he is... bc he is the only one so far I was required to beat to progress with. I have met AKI and Ed already. Their introductions went super smooth.

Pretty sure it takes up all slots except accessories. I'd have to look to be certain though.

If you did the skill tree level up like I told you so and still can't finish world tour with your level, you're out of luck. It's not that hard even if it's DLC. There is no need to grind to a hundred at all.

Yeah I kinda figured out the item drip upgrading at the end but the issue with Blanka is that it's an entire outfit. Late game tops, pants, shoes, end up raising the stats higher when they are all put on.

OP, it gets even harder as I'm level 78 and I'm at this point post end game where I can fight all these characters that can open up prize doors. But they are all level 90+ right now and it would take forever to upgrade fighting the base 50s outside the tournament or use all my money on supplements every 10 seconds. I thought I'd get something special when I found shen long and beat him at level 90 but nope.

I'll take a look what I can assemble, thanks for the tip.

I only really wanna beat the MQ of the WT and meet all the characters, learn their styles and then max out those I like for their outfits. (Already maxed out Cammy,. now working on Juri). That's it. Unless Akuma and M. Bison are locked behind lvl 90 wall or smth.

I mostly allocate points as I go, but sometimes I do forget to lvl up for quite a while. I think there's more than just points that I need to resume WT MQ comfortably. I will look into gear again and see if I can assemble better outfit than what maxed out Blanka Jammies offer.

And that's the exact reason I gave you that advice. I also forgot to lvl up that thing. Once I did it, the game became so easy that it was not even fun to play anymore. It's your choice.

I forget bc it's not just skill per point; when it's multiple points, it's easy to forget. I have same tendencies with Horizon Zero Dawn
