where is everyone in draconian mode (super strong enemies)
i just beat the "slayer of the sands" took me at least 5 hours in that zone, maybe 6 or 7 from start to finish. at about 20-21 hours into the game, just got the 5th party member from the circus to join :) feels good haha but im probably a little behind..

wondering how far others are in this mode? am i fairing ok? either way games so fun :)

I'm in the next region after that one now. 20 hours so far. Enemies are getting harder now especially due to their buffs and debuffs.

I'm at same spot you are.
just finished slayer of the sand spot half and hour ago. Everyone was lvl 17 and only Veronica died in the end :steamfacepalm:

Glad I'm not the only one! I also spent a good 3-4 hours working on the celestial sands boss. And yeah, this gondola dungeon is bonkers on my party. These frogs hit like trucks and always pick on Veronica. Thank the light the autobattle AI is decent. Wish they would use buffs/debuffs a bit more though. And maybe not always pick the worst pep powers.

oh god, doing this game with no armor would be such a massive challenge.

I think if I do a replay i'll do all six draconian mode options. i turned shypox off on my first playthrough just because it was annoying to have it mess up trying to talk to npc's ect ect.

my toons are lvl 12 or 13 and slayer of sand is too much I cant live through his "SUPER SINGLE TARGET" attack..it hits for more damage than my mages have HP lol. I'll have to come back later like the old days I guess.

Serena has an ability that prevents people from getting "one hit killed" (Alma Matter) if you have half hp or more. Still its not that useful because the boss always hits twice, so most of the time the first hit makes you go below half your hp, and then the second finishes you off. It helps a little bit, but not that much.

I was at level 15, and I totally was underleveled. I got lucky I guess.

My party was lvl 15 and was tough...
wiped 6 or 7 times. Seemed need some luck as well. When he is doing his crit attack with his tail, if only he didnt had that attack...
The def buff from Serena rly helps to keep ppl at max hp easier. And it seemed to force him to cast his def-debuff instead of other attacks.
In the end serena was only 1 alive while his health was red. Kept buff up and healing and let Sylvano do the dmg lol.
Was kinda epic. I was like: go girl, we can do this. We feel more connected now haha.

??? games pretty easy iv found at later stages, lol minus a few select bosses like slayer of the sands, and maybe 1 other idk. the only boss that ever really gave me trouble so far was slayer of the sands... im at 71 hours into the game with admitadly only 1 draconian mode on, "super strong enemies" but iv been beating all the bosses with super ease.

i even just hit part 2 of the game, so im not in post game but im over halfway and all the bosses are super easy :) just been farming seeds and my hero can hit bosses for like 200-600 depending on if hes oomphed or not. even without crits :) and hes been doing that since lvl 35+ ..... hes 40 atm

Yeah, farming and grinding tend to make games like this a bit easier...lol! Aside from Slayer of the Sands there was one other boss that gave me issues for a bit, but I've been underleveled most of the game. I'm about 75% through and haven't hit lvl 40 yet. I honestly don't know if I'd have kept playing the game without having a couple draconian options ticked.

yea i grinded seeds of strenght and gave them all to the hero for a few hours, had to have gotten around 50+ of them at least. so the hero has 100+ more strength /attack and hes got a 2 handed sword <3 probably ended up giving him more like 75 seeds to be honest tho. i grinded brownies for about 3-5 hours straight... not sure how long but was SO glad i did once the part 2 came... wont say hereto avoid spoilers.... but having the hero be op DEF helped if you catch what i mean :)

i just got to the parade btw in part 2 and LOVED it haha

Started on normal mode, played till first ending and then I realised what a masterpiece this game is and decided I want to complete it at 100%. Started a new playthrough with draconian super strong enemies, no running and low exp.

Atm I'm in Gondolia just after the mister universe contest and I'm lvl 20, enjoying it so much.
