[ED2] When to do it

[EDelfen]

Hello everyone, I was wondering : I'm currently in my fourth run, so I read somewhere I could try ED2 at this point, so I did. It was a bit of trouble trying to get that destiny (why would a bishop require so much statues ? I'm totally picturing an insane man lurking in the dark surrounded by statues now). But it turns out, I'm pretty stuck. I went for warrior because that would be easiest, but I'm waaay too weak for the demon castle OR even the first area in the desert (I'm not even killing the first monster there all the time !). Was it too early to start ED2, or I could push it with status up and updrading destroyer summons ? (so far, the only summons I have not at max are scarlet dragon and the destroyer summons, because their seed costs is just too much)

i usually ed2/valley villiage on my 9th run once ive got all the good sin upgrades, sin caps, and maxed out sin again (for new purchaces that will unlock). go ahead an cut your losses now instead of wasting more time on gluttony/stats up. just stick to hourly DRs, fast reincs, and focus on habit efficiency for a little bit, since it will snowball how many stats ups you will get later. after about 20k habit eff and most sin upgrades, ins will come pretty quick and ed2/3 will be a breeze(ish). after ed3, go for 200k habit eff, then you can go all in on stats up until much later in the game

i did ed2 on my second run and i used gluttony to get my team strong enough to defeat the first enemy on dessert and kept defeating the first enemy until i got research of it and put it in my team and putting seed into them. keep repeating until you have the king cobra and then you should be almost strong enough to beat ed2.

sin rewards for first time purchases are stronger than ending rewards. do ed1s until you run out of useful sin upgrades.
