remind me on some of the mechanics because its been awhile

[fireball0836]

aight so, i played this way back when and knew how to do some things i cant for the life of me remember rn.
i know theres a way to upgrade room slots via inspection but i dont remember the specifics.
what does defend help against? wasnt it something to do with blocking field tactics?
wasnt there a way to powerlevel with inspection?
helps appreciated thanks. i need to beef up to continue this demon run.

Defend just lets you take less Damage until your turn comes around again at the cost of not being able to Counter Attack. I dont think it does anything else, but I could be wrong.

Inspection sends you into a battle inside the room. You have to kill the Boss on each Map to increase the Rooms power. I dont know the specifics about it though, sorry.

If I learn anything new from the Strat Guide I will let you know.

those ik, but im pretty sure defense blocks something to do with statuses, and im pretty sure you can upgrade a rooms slot numbers, its specifically applicable to the "home" rooms which start off with only 5 slots)

Every 20th floor you clear via Inspection will increase the number of slots in a room by 1 if possible, so for Home rooms that means clearing floor 80 will max them out.

I can't help with the Defend question though, since I basically never used it.

you can either use a pyremage or dracosage and give it blitzkreig, vengeful hope, an XP decor, and either a stat growth decor or another stat boost decor, and let it nuke Room sentries/tyrants with their dmg tactics for game breaking levels. At the end of the main story, The Hero obtains a dmg tactic as well, letting you do the same for him/her.

yeah ive got DF already, so whatd be the best for a hero setup? ive got mewlin aswell for extra exp

[bzcharkl]

The basic setup is:

Open Area
Silent Walk (won't be targeted for 3 turns)
Burning Blood (+x uses of field tactics)
Secret Guide (stats down, XP up)
Vengeful Hope (stats up when leader is solo)

And then just go into an inspection and blast whatever enemies you run across. Most of those decors are fairly readily available, if you've levelled up the shop a little you should have access to most of them. The only one that might be tricky is Secret Guide, but you can switch the room to Loki's Fortune instead as a temporary substitute if necessary.

If you want to level other special characters in the same squad, you'll need to drop Vengeful Hope but there are other options for boosting stats, Cat's Cradle being the obvious choice if you're far enough in the NG+ cycle.

Also try turning off Ally/Enemy animations in the option menu to speed up the process, or it will take way too long.

Tbh, i would trade silent walk and burning blood with protein shake and 3rd growth for better permanent gains. If you need another Demon Force, summon a squad with Good News next to you.

aight cool thanks, thisll speed up my trek to 9999 significantly. i wish there were better guides out there but man this game seems to be unloved by guidemakers, which is a shame because its such a goooooooooooooooooood game.
welp, time to grind.

Part of it was you could get to like 3 or 4k ish, beat the game, then do Asagi's ending again and again. Once you had units full of her the game was pretty much done difficulty wise with your only upgrade being some majins mixed in.

[zeridoz]

the problem with that strat was it became hard not to do the asagi ending after a certain point
