Karuta Chaos (Advanced & Deluge)

[ゆきこ]

All right so, I need some advice, on the Karuta cards. I'm struggling with the Shrine and the other stages (Minus Missing Windhole), on Advanced and Deluge difficulty, as I need to go back to those stages to get my S rank so I can get my achievement, but, I truly don't know what works.

I have 74 Karuta unlocked, and all coffee effects unlocked, I'm having a hard time with Advanced (for the last of the stages, and the rest on Deluge), that I either can't survive or I get a bad rank. I already finished the game on the other difficulties expect Deluge which I'm struggling with, big time. I finished the first two stages fine, but Hydrangea Street is driving me insane.

I cannot be sure what Karuta combos will work. What I run at the moment:

For Shrine on Advanced I run - High Quality - Two in One - Purifying Hydrangea - Insect Repellent - and any random Karuta I pick, and I often use the coffee to help with Corruption.

I use the same for Hydrangea Street on Deluge, but I often have Mental Care because of High Collar's annoyance for the Insanity Gauge. I just can't seem to escape or survive.

Which Karuta will work for finishing up Advanced for S rank, and the rest of the stages (Minus Missing Windhole), for Deluge. Not even the first game drove me this crazy... Thanks guys! ~ Yukiko.

If you're aiming for S or SS rank, I recommend you to get survival medal 3 and time medal 2, which is guaranteed score 15, if you played good enough, you will have a chance to get SS.

Hydrangea street: the damage source only comes from bugs and impures, and impures only come after the alarm rings, you can avoid every damage easily if your hydrangea don't break
So my recommend karuta is, purifying hydrangea, high quality, the art of walking, magatama barrier, underworld map with macchiato
be careful you will sometimes got your karuta sealed in deluge, you can just put exorcism instead of the art of walking instead, in case exocism is not sealed, you will be fine

Mausoleum: the same as Hydrangea street

Shrine: this stage you will just teleport around, aiming for the magatama which you will drop to a hole, and using every method you can teleport out of the area after you get the magatama
choice of karuta will be purifying hydrangea, bronze mirror, hotaruya ticket, caffeine addiction, underworld map with turkish coffee to increase item drop rate
deluge: exorcism replace of bronze mirror

Glass building: after this stage, you will need 2 passive to get progress smoothly, so my choice will be two in one, high quality, feather of darkness, purifying hydrangea, underworld map with macchiato
deluge: exorcism replace of high quality

Sea of tree complex: two in one, high quality, feather of darkness, purifying hydrangea, underworld map with macchiato
deluge: exorcism replace of high quality

Sea of reminiscence: two in one, high quality, insect repellent, purifying hydrangea, underworld map with macchiato
deluge: exorcism replace of high quality

maybe the last 3 stages if you're not fast enough your passive will be consumed and take some damage eventually, which will be deadly if you're playing with asura karuta, but not with that, it just a 3 score loss, so it's bearable

if you got any other question, it's welcome to ask at any time, and above suggestion is based on my experience and game play style and some luck, it may not suit for everyone.

Hmm, worth a try it seems. Thanks!
