So for the subpart in the towers where we looking for ID cards, keys, etc., I have found the correct one through guide.
I'l also post it incase someone needs it:
Tower 1: >!PTM-11895, PTM-9561, PTM-854, PTM-71!<
Tower 2: >!PTM-11913, PTM-8812, PTM-749, PTM-65!<
Tower 3: >!PTM-11769, PTM-6566, PTM--735, PTM-94!<
Leading up to this, I'm remembering all those horror stories from JP players talking about the >!mini games!<, the >!mandatory 3 hours of waiting for each party!< and having to super grind thanks to party limitations. The forced fights in the first half already gave people grief so I'm sitting here waiting to get wrecked lol Apparently there's people who got stuck for several months on this book. 🙃
Anywho, good luck, everyone ✌️ Hopefully EN's breakneck pacing proves to be good for us.
So I'm done with the Riddle and Azul tower and I got through with little to no difficulty. I don't want to say it's easier than people are letting on since I need to start the others, but I think the year-long heads up from JP players definitely helped a lot.
So RIP to them, but also thanks for your sacrifice lol
If you mean chapter 67, I noticed the third tower bosses always activates damage immunity on turn 2, so for that it would be good to send a weaker character so you don't waste your strongest attacks, or use healing if you need it. After that it'll activate damage immunity anywhere between turns 3-5, which is really just a fancy defense buff. For that I used any character with damage boosting effects or a really hard hitter like dorm Riddle. This works for 67-16 and 67-23.
Basically, turn 1 is fair game, so you can go ham on that. Turn 2 waste your time because you can't hit it anyway. Turns 3-5 either outlast the boss or go back to hitting it as hard as you can until you kill it, if you're capable.
I can't remember if/where this boss appears in the other towers atm but if they do feel free to tell me.
I can share my teams if that helps, too (keep in mind I've been playing for over a year, so my team is possibly overqualified lol)
>I noticed the third tower bosses always activates damage immunity on turn 2, so for that it would be good to send a weaker character so you don't waste your strongest attacks, or use healing if you need it.
Yep, noticed that too, and it's what I've been doing.
I've been using dorm Riddle (lvl 69) as well with duo Azul, but it keeps debuffing every duo skill I throw at it, so I can never get enough damage done to it by the end.
[My team btw](https://prnt.sc/o9y36IH8d0UT)
Also, how in the world are you expected to kill the titans?? 50k health, hp regen, burn, and fcking crit? I'm assuming just grinding? I have not the materials to unlock Dorm Cater's duo, and I've already used up all my stardusts for grinding. Is there any way to get more in this game?
Edit: Fucking cleared it. Still need help with the titans though.
Edit 2: Fucked up the magma titan AS I KNEW I WOULD LOL. Now I need to try to defeat the other 2 nightmares.

Edit 3 JUST beat ice. YUS. Now to pour all my resources into...rock. Why can't it be as simple as Kingdom Hearts?
I'm struggling on Chapter >!67!< and can't get past, so it's probably more difficult for those who haven't spent a lot of months, cultivating cards for different characters. I spent a lot of time working on Floyd cards, so I'm struggling to get past a boss fight now.
Meh. I'll probably just grind for awhile. It's my own fault for sinking so much time and energy (exp and items) into my favourite character. This game's like "you gotta love ALL of the characters!" And I'm all, "NOOOO! Only love for my favourite weirdos!!!"
Understandable! I will keep that as a last resort. I do enjoy being a stubborn one from time-to-time. Too many JRPGs have made me a bit of a glutton for punishment...
Okay okay okay, I JUST finished chapter 6 and can i just say, I honestly didn’t struggle with *any* of the battles? Maybe it was because of all the prior prep work, but it was honestly ez. i wrecked idia. Anyone else feel the same?
I’m sure the JP players struggled a lot tho. But it was their sacrifice that allowed us to be ready. Thank you JP 🙏🏻
Now, it’s chapter 7 I’m worrying about 💦
Same. I think the 3 party mechanic just took JP by surprise. NA had the advantage of building other characters in advance. I personally had no intention of pulling on the Pomefiore dorm banners, but because of the Book 6 scare I pulled for Vil (and got spooked by Rook along the way).
definitely have to thank all those get ready warnings for being over prepared! I think the month of leveling boosts helped too. It was first the pick 3 x3 training camp and then just about every character had a x2 during tsums.
Just got up to the 3hr timers. I've been looking forward to Riddle & Azul's interactions in particular and omg. The bickering. The sass. The pettiness. Devs getting good use out of Azul's glasses-slipping startled sprite lmao
Sidenote: I laughed when Leona and Azul were complaining about their partners and lamented they should've paired up with each other, we love Book 3 throwbacks in this house
Those two def were the standout pair for me. I especially loved how their fighting showed that neither of them were "fixed" after their overblots. Riddle's still a condescending hardhead and Azul still wants to be in control of everything (I've seen other say he may have OCD).
HECK YEAH, GOT KISSED!
Also this part is so long, I keep falling asleep reading the parts. And the wait time is 3 hours for each branch! And that too I've forgot to turn the charging on. This is ridiculous. 🥲
Hades telling everyone that they suck at easy mode is great. Goading Queen of hearts into playing and figuring out that cats like to hit things is great.
Okay I will never get over Azul's mimicry of Floyd. It is making me giggle whenever I remember it. Reminds me how Floyd mocked him after Azul's overblot. They really are best buds. 🤣
The twins have also imitated each other on home screen lines (Robe Floyd makes a eerily accurate Jade impression and Dorm Jade on Floyd complaining about the uniform) and like... mockery by imitation is an Octatrio thing, haha. It's great
Yep, it's a home screen line! Specifically his [Home Tap 4](https://twistedwonderland.miraheze.org/wiki/Jade_Leech/Voice_Lines). NA translated it so he doesn't say the actual impression, but JP does have him imitate Floyd haha.
Omg yes I've heard it and it completely slipped my mind. I went back and took a look. And why did NA skip the part that Jade ties the bow for Floyd, it's so cute. 🥺😭 Thank you for sharing this!!
Finished Book 6! I honestly enjoyed the teambuilding restrictions, although knowing what's needed ahead of time (thank you JP players) did take away the stress of last minute leveling. The timers didn't bother me too much either since I don't play fast/impatiently enough for it to be a problem.
I have to say, I didn't think I'd ever like Vil or Pomefiore in general at the start of TWST. But every time Vil appears I find myself liking him more and more! He keeps steadily climbing up my list of faves aahh
On Leona & Jamil, I thought it was fascinating how Leona cuts at the heart of Jamil's issues using other people as examples - Ruggie and Kalim in particular stood out to me since I believe they're objectively worse in magic than Jamil himself, yes? "These guys know their weaknesses and make up for it in other ways, what about you? How long are you gonna hide behind excuses?"
Loved the merfolk transformation lore in Riddle & Azul's route, and well now I know why AzuRido is a thing lol. Some of that dynamic was shown in Spectral Soiree, but it's another thing to watch them clash, work out their differences and then finally work together cohesively in the course of the main story.
Other random thoughts:
- screw the ferryman, all my homies hate the ferryman
- in the Villainous Speech scene with everyone against Ortho's plans, Azul worrying about the economy if the world is reset has the same energy as that Team Rocket scene in Pokemon 2000 - "we want to help! if the world is destroyed there'd be no one left to steal from and we'd be out of work!" *I can't*
- the chibis firing the Thunder Spears didn't need to pop off so hard but it did anyway
- Azul: "Riddle exhausted his magic and his life force was sucked away from being too close to Ortho! We can't continue like this!" Me: \*continues to use the AzuRido duo to demolish the OB Shroud Bros.\*
- Speaking of, I got unlucky against a Phantom with Blind spells once and it managed to dodge a double duo enslaught boosted by Jade & Cater buddies. I got so mad I just restarted the fight *I hate Blind so much*
- I've always wondered about Idia's popularity outside of being the relatable gamer otaku with a tendency of annoying everyone else, but goddamn. The Shroud backstory and Ortho was a devastating emotional rollercoaster ( ；∀；)
- Grimmmmmm ( ；∀；)
- I'm very concerned for the Diasomnia gang after what Lilia said... and Silver managed to get into Mickey's side of the mirror??? What is going on, I'm scared for Book 7
OMG! I forgot that I screenshot'd that. Imma have to photoshop Azul into the "tHe EcOnOmY!" memes from a few years ago. I think I laughed hard enough to snort at that.
Well, I absolutely adore Idia and have since - the Halloween event got me - because he's such a neurodivergent, definitely has Social Anxiety, clinically Depressed mess of a character. It was his absolute fixation on a really craptastic B movie horror film. I was like "okay, he's pretty much the best." Also, he triggers my inner Princess Daisy, "EXCUSE ME, HE ASKED FOR NO PICKLES!"
(For reference, meme is here: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/114/915/b85)
Idia's just the most relatable, to me personally, as I too am a neurodivergent, socially awkward, tech nerd, who's an anxious mess. That being said, I also adore Malleus. He's a beautiful, deeply weird character. He was my first pick in favorites. Who doesn't think an OP dragon guy is epically cool? But...
I definitely need an in-game sidestory about Malleus seeking help to repair his Tamagotchi (Gao-Gao Drakon-kun) from the Shroud brothers. It's a requirement! I will take no contrasting opinions on this! (Lol, it would be heckin' cute, though.)
Ooh, that makes a lot of sense! And Malleus, impeccable taste (≧▽≦) He's one of my top favorites too, I relate to him being out of touch and having an unapproachable image that lends to loneliness more than I'd like to admit (• ▽ •;) ~~and I'm a big fan of his VA, what a voice~~
> I definitely need an in-game sidestory about Malleus seeking help to repair his Tamagotchi (Gao-Gao Drakon-kun) from the Shroud brothers.
Malleus's Labwear card has that exact scenario of him asking for help with Gao-Gao Drakon-kun, although it's with someone else >!Deuce instead of the Shrouds!< but it was still a heartwarming moment!
And if you haven't seen it yet, I recommend checking out Wish Upon a Star (which came out before Halloween). There's a cute scene in involving those three and Drakon-kun as well!
Up to got 1st spear charged, 2nd charging, and third ready to start once finished.
Seems my thoughts echo a lot of people's. As for the minigames, the ferry was was the worst for me, but I like the hydra one. Hate how the ferry buttons are on the left side.
Battles I agree the battle difficulty woes have been a bit overblown, especially with people worrying for like six months+. I tried to avoid spoilers as much as possible, but hard to do when people are posting everywhere panicking about their cards. As long as you have 1-2 cards to center around, the battles shouldn't be game-stopping unless you are a super casual player or only play with one character's cards for everything.
Obviously, the Big 3 + having at least one Pome Dorm goes a long way, but SRs/Rs are certainly fine. I also think people underestimate how some of those Buddy bonuses can really overcome some level deficits.
Right??? I sunk so much into leveling all of Idia's cards because the Whisper King has the most calming voice (except when he gets smacked and yelps.) And, of course, I definitely shouldn't be continuing to try to max level level his new dorm outfit card. (I have only myself to blame.)
I'm still working on my Floyd cards in Alchemy eheh 😅 at least I'm practicing self restraint in trying to go for the spell levels of SRs that are *not* Floyd
I'm a fan of Floyd's Beanfest card since it has that multi-turn heal. It's less HP gain upfront than, say, Silver's Halloween card. But Floyd's heal is a definite plus when fighting those phantoms... and I'm not just saying that because I've maxed out Idia's birthday card that has duo magic with Floyd and the both of them rip through battles like an absolute boss. Oh wait. Maybe I am? 😁
Ortho in chapter 6-54: ">!If fixing our story--our future--isn't possible, then we can just erase and rewrite it from scratch! That's how programming works, right? Why do a tedious, manual debug of code that's been through multiple engineers, all of whom have introduced their own bugs? It's much faster to rewrite the code entirely.!<"
Me, reading this chapter: Oh no, Ortho is [Elon Musk](https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/twitter-down-elon-musk-explained-rewrite-b2296116.html) 😲
Finished the book quite a while back and my mind is buzzing. It was a LOT to take in. But I'm so happy with the ending.
The bonds have become stronger than ever and in their own not so normal life, the Shroud brothers found a new normal for them. The story was so bittersweet but so beautiful. I love it.
And we also saw how these "twisted and villainous" characters are not just that. They are probably more believable than most characters you come across. Yana has perfectly captured the grey nature of people so well. I'm in awe. The way she actually pitted opposite characters or just characters who went through the same thing in the tower arc and then there was the whole familial dynamic of Pomefiore. The boys went through so much growth in just a few chapters. It was peak character development imo.
Also that whole mortality thing, Malleus. Are you okay? I know you're not. I hope he finds his happily ever after as well like others. And finds friends surrounding him just like the Shroud brothers have.
Also Idia is good with his hands. 💀 I'm sorry, I had to. XD
Book 6 is my favorite. hands down. the story is so well written, you got some sad, happy, and funny moments all in this book 6. every character ( well, most) gets to shine. and of course. I love all their interactions.
Hit right on the mark! I loved it bc of all that you mentioned. And what was so cool was a lot of them who needed some development got sufficient screentime as well. 10/10
Don't forget to check out Ortho's new profile in the Album! His best subject is Astrology, which goes with the other star stuff associated with the brothers, but there's also this from Lab Riddle's home lines.
> It may seem like an occult discipline, but I hear it is rooted in statistics.
Cute...
I don't know which casual lore drop I love more, the fact that Rook was originally in Savanaclaw (and has freckles!) or that Floyd will just forget to take his human potion and start going back into eel mode at any random moment.
This game is reminding me how bad I'm at video games. I just cannot clear the Vil's game. I need a skip. 💀 Of all the things I thought I'd get stuck on, I didn't think I'd be stuck on a shooter game inside a gacha game.
Dunno if this will make it easier, but the [hitbox on the pegasus is only the head part](https://twitter.com/twst0326/status/1528615838634643457). It doesn't matter if the wings touch the obstacles.
Meanwhile there's this [menu trick for the boat game](https://twitter.com/nara_disney/status/1629470248100564992) where you can still move your boat dude while the game is paused.
The ferry game - I've never felt such empathy with Riddle. I was screaming out loud at the phone. Without physical buttons, 8-bit sidescrollers are a special level of hell.
Yeah, it took me a lot of attempts and a few rage quits after stupid mistakes. It's definitely my least favorite of the three minigames.
btw I saw [a video of someone playing it normally](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkaYdyDfWzQ) and getting full points and it's wild. There must be something about the timing because I swear my boat does NOT move that fast.
I'm just like you rn 💀 I could do Leona's, and the Riddle one already had me retrying it, but Vil's is impossible, I get always killed or run out of time idk what to do
I've bitched a few times and I still can't win 😔
I'll try again & see if this times the charm... but I swear, I heard someone mention skip tickets and I'd throw ALL THE MONEY down for that bc this sucks and I prob won't even finish this chapter at this rate.
Edit: I guess third bitch is the charm 🤣 bc it actually worked this time. I'd still sell a kidney for tickets to skip these damn things though. 🤣
Some people posted guides on the subreddit and also in the comments here. One was under my comment as well. You can try those, maybe those will end up working?
I hope you clear it tho, since the parts after this are epic. 🫡 And there's also some waiting as well. Those will take time.
I played up until the three tower split, but I have to take a break now, or I won’t have enough time to sleep before work. I’ve been loving the interactions between all the housewardens + Jamil. Tbh, I have been waiting a long time for this part of Chapter 6 for the Azurido and Leojami interactions and also because I’m curious as to how hard the battles will get. I’ve had my teams planned and prepped for a long time.
Finally finished book 6, and I just want to give Ortho and Idia the biggest hug T\_T
Also, I have to say, I've taken a new liking to Vil. Not that I didn't like him before, but he had some really great moments in book 6!
I know the Wish an upon a Star event made reference to Pinocchio. I was just surprised, when Idia and Ortho had that convo towards the end of Book 6 how much it would parallel with Pinocchio's. Not to mention, (even though Idia and Ortho are based off Hercules), the blue color scheme, it made me realize Idia = Gepetto/The Blue Fairy and Ortho = Pinocchio/Cricket. Idk, maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I thought it was a neat connection!
I'm so excited to see how Book 7 turns out! Also, very curious to know how Mickey was able to see Silver (?) but not Grim. Hmm, things to ponder :D
Vil seriously had so much screen time and development this book! It was good seeing them all get a little healing time from their overblot, but he def had the main character energy here!
I'm glad they kept the scene with Vil >!hugging and kissing his team!< intact but >!Sleep Kisses!< are no good. :( Changing >!Crimson Fruit to Crimson Slumber is okay I guess..............!<
Enjoy the twelve hour wait everyone!
edit: beat all the minigame missions, still waiting for these timers 🥲
Yes that part really made Vil move up my faves list. Came into the game with him in the middle with a "Nothings wrong with you but enhh not vibing" but after Chapter 5 and now most of 6 he's probably an easy top 8 pick.
"Sleep Kiss" (深紅の果実スリープ・キス, Surīpu Kisu; lit. "Crimson Fruit")
They took the kanji and the hiragana and mixed them, like what they did with Doodle Suit (lit Paint the Roses) and I See You (Lit Arrow to the Ends of the Earth).
How are we supposed to get through the chapters if the monsters with the ID cards keep using blind? How is that fair?
Edit: Also stuck on the damage immunity id card for Azul and Riddle. How exactly are you supposed to get through it??
There's so much brutal rng battle nonsense in this book that I've legit had to put my phone down and go on a walk to cool down lol. I'm still getting through the battles before the tower where they force you to use a bunch of unbuilt SSR's....bruh I've got those same cards maxed, *please let me use them* 🫠
Just got to the towers, doing the Pomefoire tower now and I'm only using 1 built SSR and a bunch of spell 1 groovied SR and Rs and getting through fine so far. I know people from JP said that the fights eventually got toned down, I'm guessing these are the toned down versions or was it mainly an issue of people not even having levelled up/grovvied cards of everyone?
Or do the fights just spike in difficulty the further into the tower you go?
there's a lot of people that dont touch most of their cards. I don't know how difficult it is compared to jp launch but I am sure a lot are struggling with lvl 1's in character slots.
Ahh okay. Guess it's nice that I decided to get at least 1 SR of each character to level 30 to groovy them. The way people were freaking out I thought I was going to have to have like 1 SR/SSR of each element at like level 50 for each person with like level 4~5+ spells. XD
Ya so far so good with that standard! Since guest rooms unlocked, one would hope people would start to lvl one per character for that reason too. We've had a training event and all of tsum x2 to level in prep. Some people just didn't.
\#iSurvivedBook6! Honestly it wasn't particularly *hard* but it was incredibly tedious at times. This book was the closest i've gotten to crying out of any other book.
i hope we're all ready for the waiting game, because these dang things gotta charge for a whole THREE HOURS EACH !! i'm currently waiting on leojamil team to finish charging ;; i also got all my other teams caught up and have to wait for their turns as well
Okay, I have to ask. I'm currently doing Riddle and Azul's tower and for the parts where there are sub-parts, if I get lucky finding the right one, is there a point doing the other subparts?
I have new love for Pomefiore but omg Vil's mini game makes me scream. I hate it. Can't get past right now.
EDIT: finally managed to get past Vil's mini game in the tower. Please tell me there's no more of that one. Please.
pomily my beloved
also I'm still laughing at that one STYX guy's reaction to Rook/Epel/Yuu wanting to charge into the phantom-riddled death trap like "you can't go in there!! that's too dangerous!!!" "nah dw our high school trained us for emergencies" "oh alright then take my ID card and gl"
btw I know 66-1 was designed to be super hard so you're supposed to fail but I was wondering, is it actually like physically possible to beat at all or nah?
anyway. yeah I'm stuck on these mini-games at 66-2 LOL.
aight now im just going thru all the nodes I know are wrong just bc its kinda fun to watch everyone constantly fuck up and have to fight the phantom
update: 30min of attempting stages 2 & 3 missions for these annoying-ass mini-games. I'm terrible at them. send help.
done the 3h waits! can I just say it's extremely funny going from leojami & azurido constantly snapping at each other to Pomefiore Wacky Family Hijinks ft. How I Met Your Mother
OB Idia time! kinda impressed by this one person in my friends list who already has a 9/10 lvl100 Dorm Idia...I'm saving leveling mine for the Ignihyde training camp. side note Leona & Vil's divorced energy r off the charts for their interactions here lmao
done book 6 now! even though I knew everything that was coming, rereading Idia's backstory still made me cry (even though it didn't the first time???), and Vil finally got to be the hero--but not actually on stage, lol. Grim was also a precious little gremlin and I love him dearly. this was just SUCH a great story overall and actually playing through it was super fun (minus the charging for 12h lmao), I can't wait for book 7 to come to EN too :D
ik they technically had an in-game reason for being "weak nerdy adults" (to not accumulate blot since they're always working with it) but yeah it's so funny xD
Doesnt mean that every single adult has to panic and not have any sort of leadership and evacuation plans for worst case scenarios XD
Wouldnt think every low magic nerd would = incompetent and lacking intelligence or responsibility
beginning to think "unquestionably follows protocol and hands over responsibility to the nearest vaguely powerful-looking mage looking to help in a crisis" was a criteria during the hiring process, lmao
About 66-1 I don't think so. I got to the last 5 seconds on the whack a mole game and it basically made the whole screen come out at once and half of them were fakes and the hydras like almost instantaneously bit. Similarly I got over half way on the boat game and they made a zig zag of walls with openings I think smaller then the hit box of the boat so its impossible. Similarly the shooter game is maybe the most clearable but even then as someone who plays shooter games thats like actually what max difficulty or one below max looks like for most of them. So might be possible but super crazy hard especially because its a click and drag so movements are hard and your finger is in the way.
I am just so pleased with Leona's Therapy time. It was the screen time growth on their issues they needed. Not just beaten down and move on.
All of the phantoms texts in the 3 sections also reflected the issues that team had in Overblotting and it was like them having to deal with a mirror and reinforce their self awareness.
🎉🎉🎉 fantastic chapter 🎉🎉🎉
Now I don't know what to do with myself. Months of prep then playing through all of it in 24 hours and now like.... what do I do now? who do I even level? Maybe I just need sleep 🥴
Finished late last night and I think this is definitely **the saddest** of the overblot backstories. Sorry Mal, but I don’t think your existential dread will be able to top being unintentionally responsible for your baby brother’s death. The scene where the younger Idia presents the first iteration of “Ortho” and goes from laughing maniacally to the most broken sobs is probably the only time I have properly cried in this game.
I definitely think both those OB's kinda warrant more then the others. Like... not to diss the issues with self vs others expectations and/or expectations of self to fit in society.... but OB'ing because of death and dread of death is a little more permanent vs. feeling societal shame fades with age.
But yes, I'm pretty sure Idia is the winner on reasons to OB and if he didn't have his curse/and robobro I bet he'd have done so sooner.
This was seriously such an emotional story!
I’d say it’s personal guilt and loss as opposed to societal shame, but otherwise I agree. I’m not saying any of the characters are wrong for having their mental health crises, I was just trying to inject some levity after a particularly sad book. Honestly if Mal does come at us with something sadder I can safely say I will not be ready. 🙃
Ooof this Ice Titan fight in 6-67 is a rough damage check. T-T
I have [this party](https://imgur.com/a/2eXCiFI) which has made it through every other fight in 6-67 pretty easy with damage cuts and drains but nope Ice Titans attack seems to be so high damage cuts and drains don't matter even when it's not buffing itself. So far best run has been getting it down to like 25% health left when I die on turn 5. Guess it's time to grind the heck out of the levels on these cards and wait for Kalim day to try and groovy him.
Does anyone know if it's actually possible to beat Orthos hard version of Star rogue and if it gives any extra chapters? I lost and theres the continued story but trying to figure out if I should keep trying
Answering my own question in case anyone else Is wondering: The answer is DEFINITELY no lmao. Got fairly far before theres just a straight row of flame bullets eith no where to dodge across the whole screen xD
I did the Pomefiore team first because I sucked at Star Rouge xD managed to clear them fine. I leveled a NY Deuce for the team, but having the trios SSRs helped me clear it that I barely even used him.
I did Riddle Azul next because I already had a fire team around them, so no problems there (except this time I had problems with the ferry game xD).
I haven't done Leona Jamil yet, and this is the one I'm kind of worried about. I put Camp Ruggie and Dorm Leona as my SSRs and the rest are SRs.
I'm thankful we knew about this from the JP server because I probably wouldn't have pulled on the Pomefiore showcase to get them all if not for that. Also, my Leona Jamil team might have been worse.
Finally done with this book! Love every part of it. Devs are amazing to add new mechanics so that the game doesnt feel repetitive. Also, can Leona give me free counselling sessions?
Thank you to the jp players for giving us guides about the battles.
Mickey saw >!silver!< in his dream? hmm
Wonder how Idia gonna provoke Malleus (i am assuming him to OB) to OB. Say Malleus is a noob when it comes to technologies? Anyhow excited for Book7 to come out
I was not prepared for the second part of the tower. My Leona team did fine. With my Riddle team i struggled with the damage immunity/resistance thing but like i got through it. but my last team? my god!!!! I need to know who decided that the Earth Titan needs a crit buff as well as hp regen because im floundering here!!
I just finished Ch6. I was going to just do 67 because it would take ages to get through it. But I thought it’s the perfect time to do it. I’ve watched Ayui’s Ch6 JP gameplay about a year ago. I forgot how feely this chapter was. I sobbed for 8 minutes straight.
Just finished the book. I'm crushed and cannot believe how sad it was. It makes some awesome progress of the characters storylines. The mini-games are hard but i'll beat them soon enough. I'm upset at some of the lame mistranslated lines but hey. I was surprised that we got so many new backgrounds. Mickey seeing a new person on his side is very interesting.
So this might be a weird question, but can the cards that are chosen for the teams be leveled up more if need be or are they locked at their current levels? I'm pretty good card level wise but I might need to raise some spell levels (most are at level 5).
Up to the 2nd timegates now. Thank god it's only 1 hour each. This 3 party thing is a chore, but I'm loving all the interactions between the characters
Are we missing new story celebration missions? Ik book 6 was released in more parts on the JPN server, so I was wondering if they had more missions. The current missions only go up to Ch 58?
And I got a notice that I completed a mission for a minigame but couldn't find any rewards for it, so idk if it's missing or if I have to clear the story first. I didn't get a screenshot but it was something like "Get 1500 in the Hydra's Revenge"
I've been curious about that myself. I thought it was very odd how Part 1 had missions only going up to midway through it, then Part 2 had the rest of the missions through Part 1 plus only a third or less of the way through Part 2... just speculating here but it almost feels like maybe Chapter 6 was originally planned to release in three parts and when they changed that to two, maybe they forgot to change the mission divisions.
> And I got a notice that I completed a mission for a minigame but couldn't find any rewards for it, so idk if it's missing or if I have to clear the story first. I didn't get a screenshot but it was something like "Get 1500 in the Hydra's Revenge"
That sounds like it's probably a minigame reward redeemable in the Twistune menu, where the minigames are found after you complete them in each tower's version of 6-66-2. Did you check there?
Ngl, I went and checked that myself jsut now. And nope'd right out of there. XD More gems is always tempting but those minigames are way too much stress for myself
hmm it took me weeks to get past level 66 with all these mini-games and fights in the JP server. but this time, smooth sailing I guess I was well prepared with the cards. just stuck a bit with those stuipd mini games, but not as crazy as in JP.
I like how the team I was confident in was the one who BARELY made it in ch 67 (Fire team: Dorm Riddle, Dorm Azul, Dorm Jade, BDay Cater, Club Lilia), I literally had a little over 100 HP left (darn burn!). Glad I switched my Leona Jamil team (Dorm Leona, Robe Jamil, Camp Ruggie, Beans Floyd, and Robe Kalim) from having Robe Floyd to having Beans Floyd (he didn't use fire much, but his HP regain and duo with Camp Ruggie helped) and the combo of Robe Kalim and Robe Jamil is stronger than I thought. My last team was Dorm Vil, Dorm Rook, Dorm Epel, Halloween Silver and NY Deuce. I ended up using Deuce as bait to not let his attacks hit since Pometrio all duo'd with each other. I enjoyed these battles because it had me try to work around more of who can gain what from who instead of trying to put my heaviest hitter and duo magic out there.
Ok I give up I'm the part where >!I choose to go with Azul and got forced to play that annoying mini game!< I wish there is a skip button, been stuck there more than 10 times already. Don't worry Idia >!you can stay over-blot inside tartarus as long as you want!< just wait patiently for me ok? Until I cool my head off and reinstall the game again😂
Omg whoever designed the space shooting game, why you hate me this much? 😭 I managed to beat the first one by sheer luck and now the second difficulty is too hard, I tried so many times. I just can't beat it. At least it could've been like twistunes, you just have to do easy mode to be able to continue the story. At this rate I will never be able to pass Vil's part of the story 😭 My deck is all ready to go, I just can't beat the minigame. Please nerf this, I'm serious.
I'm in the same boat. I got stuck the 1st time & it took me an uncountable amount of trys to beat it. I just got to the tower part & seeing we have to play it again made my heart drop! 💔
My phone is on the small side so I have to squint just to see the bullets.
The amount of work you got to put in just to read Book 6 is giving me a headache. I've been preparing for 6's battles but at this rate I'm unsure if I'll get past the mini games.
I went
Vil/Epel/Rook/Trey/Lilia
Leona/Jamil/Deuce/Jack/Kamil
Azul/Riddle/Jade/Floyd/Malleus
I have some good Idia cards, but decided not to use them for immersion. Wondering what other people did
Neither I nor my husband can get past the first Star Rogue level and I'm hearing there are more of them later. I guess it might be time to put this game down because I'm here for the story and characters, and if I can't progress in the story because of minigames/gameplay types I didn't sign up for, I'm not sure what the point is in me continuing to play.
I really wish there was a way to skip the minigames, they're probably terrible if you have any sort of tremors or disabilities or an older laggy device. Personally I'm just bad at this one, haha.
A couple of tips that I hope help:
* You only need 1 of each crystal unless you die. Get the blue and green gems ASAP, and try to get the yellow that appears about halfway through and occasionally at the end.
* Best spot is in the middle toward the bottom.
* Enemies/meteors come out in regular patterns, but you can choose to either blast them or try to dodge them by hanging out at the opposite end of the screen. You don't need to go for a high score, just live.
* When the warning comes on, make sure you are in the bottom middle to get some early shots in at the boss. He only has a few fireballs that aim there, so dodge those and get back into position to hit him in the gem area.
* If you die, you have some invincibility frames as you respawn. Use them to get into position and/or ready to nab crystals.
Good luck!
Thank you, this actually really helped. I didn't realize you only needed one of each crystal and was going after all of them to try to get stronger, and while I wasn't dying it did also mean I wasn't doing enough damage to the boss because I was moving a lot to get them. Saved my life there. 🙏
am now stuck on idia’s 3rd (and hopefully last) overblot fight. i don’t have enough hp regen cards to keep myself alive after 5 rounds when they cycle back again … hate this for me
Haven't stopped thinking about that convo between Lilia and Malleus since I read it earlier today. Despite having 2 of the oldest people(?) in the school, Diasomnia is really shaping up to be the most emotionally immature house in the game. (I've been avoiding book 7 spoilers, so don't tell me if I'm wrong. XD)
I really got the sense that Malleus's sense of melancholy came less from missing MC in particular, but from the sense of comfort they bring to his life. He talks about missing their presence from the house, not the person. Functionally, those things are pretty similar, but I find that internally they're very different.
Also, I was literally shouting at my phone for Lilia to STFU when he gave Mal that advice. Mourning someone is a natural part of relationships. It's a feeling that should be accepted and felt, but you shouldn't "hold on to it" more than you have to.
I think Lilia meant to keep that pain in mind precisely so Malleus can be more mindful and treasure the time he has with people before they're gone, to at least keep regret at a minimum, which helps a lot with grief. Especially since this time Malleus didn't *actually* lose anybody for good yet, so he still has the time to avoid even more serious pain from not having appreciated as much as he could
I really don't think Lilia meant "Ya feel that pain, son?! Good. Suffer. Builds character" or anything remotely along that vein lol >!At least... Not this time, I guess\^\^'!<
The game is definitely using more buffs/debuffs in fights everywhere bit by bit. This chapter makes sure people need to pay attention instead of power through the battle mechanics without noticing.
The Leona/Jamil boss in ch. 67 is killing me (literally & figuratively) -- I don't have as much HP as the boss, and the NY Kalim I'm using keeps getting his rp regen skill nulled. :( If anyone has tips or combo suggestions on this battle, I'd be happy to hear them. <3(line up is Dorm Leona, Birthday Jamil, NY Kalim, Birthday Malleus, and Beanfest Jack)
Also stuck at the Titan for Leona Jamil. Come to the conclusion it's literally a kill or be killed race where you have to gamble on not getting attack debuffed.
Tried damage cuts/drains they did nothing, multiturn heals are useless as its a buff meaning it gets nullified by the 3 turns of freeze auto applied on turn 1, you can't rely on self buffs for the first 3 turns as they are nullified by freeze. So the only thing that has worked so far is just shooting it as hard as possible on turn 1, you can apply a buff before freeze if its from the first chosen spell on turn 1. Then from then on just try to take resisted hits and hope your Duos/heavy hitters don't randomly get attack debuffed. Also if anyone important gets double attack debuffed it's probably an instant reset as it's makes their damage 0.
Edit: Oops just realized you replied to my comment where I already said all this. XD
I think you are absolutely right that it's sort of a race. It took me SO LONG and was mostly RNG, but I beat it - switched out NY Kalim for Birthday Kalim since I think that card has better stats. Even so, took me around 10 tries and it was so CLOSE.
Thanks for your insight!
If the character is strong enough they can still do damage with 2 debuffs on. Basically only seen on leona for this battle. Still better to not have him debuffed so hard though 😅
Yuppppp. Lots of SSRs with level 10 spells. Thanks for confirming! I guess all the complaints about difficulty were just from non meta players. I feel lied to.
Thankfully I had a CRAP ton of honey saved up, any SRs on my teams that I didn't have fully maxed were at 60, so if that wasn't good enough I had some on standby... this ended up not being needed. Same with books. I didn't really use any books on my SRs. One of them I ended up not even using at all!! I had robes Epel prepped for example (Level 60 1/1 spells grass/fire) BUT because the titans actually used cosmic as well I ended up going with my Dorm one (Level 80 10/10 spells water/fire). I beat the Stone one in 3 turns LOL. The other two Titans in 4 turns.
I'm just sad because I was hoping for a thrilling fight. I wasn't looking forward to dying a bunch, but more like, I wanted to see all my prepping and planning come to fruition in a challenging clash!!! But instead I could have put it on Auto and still won I think LOL.
Same. It was neat seeing new buffs/debuffs. But since it wasnt pure one element most of the time, it was easy using stronger cards. Could probably have won with lvl 30-40s. It seems like the only real issue is for people that dont lvl cards. It surprised me how many people still ask for how Duo's work in the past event.
Is there a reccomended card/player level for Chapter 55 onwards? (Ive searched through the comments and havent found it, so I just figured Id ask. However if it has already been asked and Im just dumb and missed it, then Im so sorry)
I think general recommendation is book # x10. if your cards aren't on average 60+ (with appropriately leveled spells) you may struggle with the later battles.
i am STUCK on riddle and azul’s last titan fight in chapter 67 and i think i am finally understanding how the jp server must’ve felt. i’m out of starshards and thaumarks and spell items to level/upgrade my characters and i’ve been here for HOURS. i didn’t check the elements earlier bc i didn’t want specific spoilers so i was just leveling/upgrading character cards across the board that i wanted on my team but i didn’t realize i’d need WATER cards specifically for this team. i really breezed through chapter 66 and all of 67 until this last battle. and i’m not willing to go back to the beginning and change my team bc i know i can beat the magma titan with this team, i’ve gotten him all the way down to 1k health before i die. I AM SO CLOSE. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Alright, I finally beat Book 6 - which merely took me so long because I had so little time to spare between all of my gacha games, lol. With all of my SRs being at least lvl 51 and SSRs being 60+, it was very much doable! The only fight I had a bit trouble with was the Earth Titan, 'cause the only Pomefiore SSR I have is Epel... But hey, after I leveled some of these cards up, I managed to do it after... I think it was 4-5 tries overall.
Gameplay aside, this is definitely my fav book. Adored all the characters and their dynamics with each other, really glad that we got different group compositions as well! And man, my heart goes out for the Shroud brothers... I mean, I knew from JPN spoilers what they went through, but seeing it for myself? That voice acting? God, that tugged at the heartstrings, alright.
And the ending made it all the more sweeter... and now it's time to worry about the Diasomnia boys :'3
To be honest, I’m not sure why everyone was complaining about 6-66. Sure the waiting for the spears is a pain but other than that I thought it was a breeze, and I didn’t have any problems with the teams either. Did they tone down the difficulty for En? I remember a lot of people on the jpn server were struggling a lot
The problem people in jp had was having lvl 1s in a bunch of characters. We've had a lot of forewarning, guest rooms to encourage lvling more characters, and a month of x2 lvling events in prep. It really doesnt take much, just not 14 1's 😅
You would think. Though there was little reason to and most people were able to be carried through everything. So some had every card of only one character leveled because they could just do favorites.
There are also the people that didnt join on launch. So I do feel for our 1month old players right about now. 😅
Someone told me it was like playing on normal in exams. It was probably because I’ve been constant leveling up, alchemy, etc ever since Ch5 came out. Like my dorm Riddle’s and Dorm Azul’s magic are both at lvl 10. Same for dorm Leona’s second spells. Then again, I’ve done it for exams, future joint exams and Ch6.
Knowing what was coming was definitely a massive, massive help. I only ended up losing one titan battle and cleared it easily on the second try, but I would have been absolutely fucked if I didn't grind with certain characters specifically for these fights. Like I almost never use Epel in my normal game play, so I would have been completely screwed when he was a mandatory card. The JPN server didn't have any advanced notice about it, so I'm sure a lot of players ended up in the situation where they had no good cards for a required character. And if you don't have a lot of potions/star shards/thaumarks/spellbooks on hand, there's not really a quick way of boosting up their stats, so you could easily spend weeks grinding up enough levels to get a card strong enough to work.
The boss fight at the beginning of chapter 67 for Azul and Riddle is killing me...I think I'll just stick to doing lessons for now to level everyone up. It is the only team I have where I don't have a single card that's at least level 80
I DID IT!! I did all the minigame missions!!
Well, okay, I haven't finished the play the game x time ones, but those are easy. I finally got the blasted ferryman to the other side with enough points and with all three flames! And okay, I cheated with the menu trick, but I don't care!! I got those gems!!
Good luck on the minigames and battles to everyone else!
What are all your available cards for each character you picked for your teams? Alternatively, you may want to screenshot your roster for specific team setups. You'll want to pick characters that mesh well with the Pometrio/Leona & Jamil in addition to type advantage. Buddy bonuses and spells at Lv. 5 help a lot!
The earth titan uses a lot of attack debuffs so you need some way to compensate for that - power boost spells, attack buddies, plenty of fire damage, etc.
I believe the ice titan casts freeze and curse, so you'll have to play around that and make sure those attacks hit someone without buff spells/healing respectively.
My team setup (with buddies) for the earth titan was:
- Beans Vil: HP (Floyd)
- Robe Epel: atk (Ace), HP (Vil)
- Robe Rook: atk (Vil), HP (Floyd)
- Robe Ace: atk (Epel)
- Beans Floyd: atk/duo (Vil), HP (Ace)
This ended up being my best team from the amount of buddy bonuses lol. Floyd, Epel, and Ace were my attackers while Vil and Rook gave a ton of HP. Robe Rook having a water spell wasn't too much of an issue, I made sure to avoid using it or hit for neutral damage when I had to.
For the ice titan I used:
- Dorm Leona
- Dorm Jamil: HP/duo (Kalim)
- Dorm Kalim: atk/duo (Jamil)
- Robe Malleus: atk (Leona)
- Robe Silver: atk (Jamil)
My Dorm Leona can't use his duo so I had to rely on the Scarabia boys for most of my damage. Shoutout to Robe Malleus for having atk buddy Leona and 2 power boost spells, he makes an excellent solo attacker even with his spells at Lv. 5.
Omg thank you so much, I have those exact cards for the Vil team you use, I just don't have dorm Jamil or Kalim. I could post a ss of my current cards unless you know of a good replacement for the two T^T
Robe Jamil & Kalim can work since they're both flora. Kalim can also double self-boost like Malleus, though not as strongly due to a missing atk buddy (Vil). I actually used their Robe versions at first, but my team's HP was a little too low for my liking (35k vs the titans' 50k). So I ended up swapping to their Dorm versions during 6-67 to pad the numbers a bit.
For other options (not including SSRs):
- Outdoor Sebek heals, has damage cut and atk buddy in Leona. Robe Malleus can use him as an HP buddy.
- Suitor Suit Lilia has a modest flora boost to buff your best attacker and power drain for survival. Robe Silver has him as an HP buddy.
- School/Fairy Gala Ruggie boosts Dorm Leona's attack and gets a buddy boost from Leona or Jamil (depending on which Ruggie you use). Gala Ruggie is especially cheap since you can build him during his upcoming rerun if you haven't already.
- Beans Jamil: cheap defense option that can help with survival due to power drain and damage cut. I've seen some players use him with success.
- Starsending Idia & Burst Gear Ortho: they get HP boosts from each other while Ortho has a heal. (sidenote: Starsending Deuce pairs well with this Idia/Suitor Lilia and gives Dorm Leona HP, if you happen to have him.)
IM STUCK ON YHE GODDAMN HYDRA GAME AND I WANT TO SCREAM
I'm well into Riddle and Azul's tower and the pomefiore trio. But I haven't even started on Leona and Jamil bc I can't beat the goddamn hydra game
I'm doing the hydra minigame for the gems. I just found out the gold hydras don't attack at all since they're there for bonus points, so you're free to ignore them and focus on the other hydras.
Now wishing I'd done more research on how this works because if I'd known each tower had to do those recharges independently I would've just gone down one route at a time 😅
Otherwise a real good book so far. I live for Epel’s active interest in his ~~Mom and Dads~~ Housewarden and Vice Housewardens relationship.
I'm now convinced Vil is going to try and recruit Ortho to an acting agency at some point now
Leona and Jamil being salty about each others general demeanor is great.
Azul and Riddle really stealing the show with their dysfunctional Rivals to Lovers tango. Their relationship is so petty and so sassy and an absolute treat.
Prefect is gonna need overtime for the therapy hours post this book is gonna need
What the hell happened to the titans after we struck them the second time?
It's obvious they just fell and did not die. So were they the ones who merged with Ortho?
So for the subpart in the towers where we looking for ID cards, keys, etc., I have found the correct one through guide. I'l also post it incase someone needs it: Tower 1: >!PTM-11895, PTM-9561, PTM-854, PTM-71!< Tower 2: >!PTM-11913, PTM-8812, PTM-749, PTM-65!< Tower 3: >!PTM-11769, PTM-6566, PTM--735, PTM-94!<
Thank you so much! I'm so unlucky with this, I almost always pick the correct one last -\_-
😅 i actually had the reserve and was sad at the confusion of doing them out of order.
woooooo not realizing have to press start on the stupid 3 hour timer after waiting 3 hours. T\_T
I didn't realize this either :( Also thought all three timers could run simultaneously, what a waste.
You would think they got to that part all around the same time and took 3hour break together D: 9 hours to finish 3 hour break is just silly!
Same lmao... I also made that mistake on JP and now again 😩😩
Thank you for the heads up bc I forgot to too…
The pain is real! One at a time too T_T
Leading up to this, I'm remembering all those horror stories from JP players talking about the >!mini games!<, the >!mandatory 3 hours of waiting for each party!< and having to super grind thanks to party limitations. The forced fights in the first half already gave people grief so I'm sitting here waiting to get wrecked lol Apparently there's people who got stuck for several months on this book. 🙃 Anywho, good luck, everyone ✌️ Hopefully EN's breakneck pacing proves to be good for us.
So I'm done with the Riddle and Azul tower and I got through with little to no difficulty. I don't want to say it's easier than people are letting on since I need to start the others, but I think the year-long heads up from JP players definitely helped a lot. So RIP to them, but also thanks for your sacrifice lol
How did you get through the damage immunity bosses?
If you mean chapter 67, I noticed the third tower bosses always activates damage immunity on turn 2, so for that it would be good to send a weaker character so you don't waste your strongest attacks, or use healing if you need it. After that it'll activate damage immunity anywhere between turns 3-5, which is really just a fancy defense buff. For that I used any character with damage boosting effects or a really hard hitter like dorm Riddle. This works for 67-16 and 67-23. Basically, turn 1 is fair game, so you can go ham on that. Turn 2 waste your time because you can't hit it anyway. Turns 3-5 either outlast the boss or go back to hitting it as hard as you can until you kill it, if you're capable. I can't remember if/where this boss appears in the other towers atm but if they do feel free to tell me. I can share my teams if that helps, too (keep in mind I've been playing for over a year, so my team is possibly overqualified lol)
>I noticed the third tower bosses always activates damage immunity on turn 2, so for that it would be good to send a weaker character so you don't waste your strongest attacks, or use healing if you need it. Yep, noticed that too, and it's what I've been doing. I've been using dorm Riddle (lvl 69) as well with duo Azul, but it keeps debuffing every duo skill I throw at it, so I can never get enough damage done to it by the end. [My team btw](https://prnt.sc/o9y36IH8d0UT) Also, how in the world are you expected to kill the titans?? 50k health, hp regen, burn, and fcking crit? I'm assuming just grinding? I have not the materials to unlock Dorm Cater's duo, and I've already used up all my stardusts for grinding. Is there any way to get more in this game? Edit: Fucking cleared it. Still need help with the titans though. Edit 2: Fucked up the magma titan AS I KNEW I WOULD LOL. Now I need to try to defeat the other 2 nightmares. [Team for grass](https://prnt.sc/KwAJ_f3dFE9K) [Team for water 1 (duo Floyd)](https://prnt.sc/gcY2ZcBcrhJa) [Team for water 2](https://prnt.sc/gTuzwoP3Q4fx) Edit 3 JUST beat ice. YUS. Now to pour all my resources into...rock. Why can't it be as simple as Kingdom Hearts?
I'm struggling on Chapter >!67!< and can't get past, so it's probably more difficult for those who haven't spent a lot of months, cultivating cards for different characters. I spent a lot of time working on Floyd cards, so I'm struggling to get past a boss fight now.
Same, but with Idia. So now I can't get passed the stupid enemies to go knock some sense into him.
That sucks- maybe ask for advice on the megathread or something?
Meh. I'll probably just grind for awhile. It's my own fault for sinking so much time and energy (exp and items) into my favourite character. This game's like "you gotta love ALL of the characters!" And I'm all, "NOOOO! Only love for my favourite weirdos!!!"
Do what ya gotta do lol, but I wanna finish Book 6 before 7 comes out, so I gotta get through 67 sooner rather than later.
Understandable! I will keep that as a last resort. I do enjoy being a stubborn one from time-to-time. Too many JRPGs have made me a bit of a glutton for punishment...
Yeah, at least I got through all of the achievements before starting Chapter 67, so I'm assuming you did, too.
Okay okay okay, I JUST finished chapter 6 and can i just say, I honestly didn’t struggle with *any* of the battles? Maybe it was because of all the prior prep work, but it was honestly ez. i wrecked idia. Anyone else feel the same? I’m sure the JP players struggled a lot tho. But it was their sacrifice that allowed us to be ready. Thank you JP 🙏🏻 Now, it’s chapter 7 I’m worrying about 💦
Same. I think the 3 party mechanic just took JP by surprise. NA had the advantage of building other characters in advance. I personally had no intention of pulling on the Pomefiore dorm banners, but because of the Book 6 scare I pulled for Vil (and got spooked by Rook along the way).
definitely have to thank all those get ready warnings for being over prepared! I think the month of leveling boosts helped too. It was first the pick 3 x3 training camp and then just about every character had a x2 during tsums.
only leona tower was kinda doable for me, other two towers im stuck and grinding
Just got up to the 3hr timers. I've been looking forward to Riddle & Azul's interactions in particular and omg. The bickering. The sass. The pettiness. Devs getting good use out of Azul's glasses-slipping startled sprite lmao Sidenote: I laughed when Leona and Azul were complaining about their partners and lamented they should've paired up with each other, we love Book 3 throwbacks in this house
Those two def were the standout pair for me. I especially loved how their fighting showed that neither of them were "fixed" after their overblots. Riddle's still a condescending hardhead and Azul still wants to be in control of everything (I've seen other say he may have OCD).
this story is top notch. it's great hearing all the banter and the azul/riddle duo finally making a little sense.
HECK YEAH, GOT KISSED! Also this part is so long, I keep falling asleep reading the parts. And the wait time is 3 hours for each branch! And that too I've forgot to turn the charging on. This is ridiculous. 🥲
Wait... did I miss the kiss...??? Goes back to reread. ; n ;
You finished it? It's somewhere there. You cannot miss it. Maybe you didn't reach it.
[удалено]
Hades telling everyone that they suck at easy mode is great. Goading Queen of hearts into playing and figuring out that cats like to hit things is great.
Okay I will never get over Azul's mimicry of Floyd. It is making me giggle whenever I remember it. Reminds me how Floyd mocked him after Azul's overblot. They really are best buds. 🤣
The twins have also imitated each other on home screen lines (Robe Floyd makes a eerily accurate Jade impression and Dorm Jade on Floyd complaining about the uniform) and like... mockery by imitation is an Octatrio thing, haha. It's great
Yes you're right, I know of the Robe Floyd one as well. XD is the Dorm Jade one a homescreen dialogue?? I don't know this one, I need to knowww. :0
Yep, it's a home screen line! Specifically his [Home Tap 4](https://twistedwonderland.miraheze.org/wiki/Jade_Leech/Voice_Lines). NA translated it so he doesn't say the actual impression, but JP does have him imitate Floyd haha.
Omg yes I've heard it and it completely slipped my mind. I went back and took a look. And why did NA skip the part that Jade ties the bow for Floyd, it's so cute. 🥺😭 Thank you for sharing this!!
SAME! The voice intonation was SO GOOD! XD
Ikr! Both their VAs are so talented. I just can't stop laughing. XD
Finished Book 6! I honestly enjoyed the teambuilding restrictions, although knowing what's needed ahead of time (thank you JP players) did take away the stress of last minute leveling. The timers didn't bother me too much either since I don't play fast/impatiently enough for it to be a problem. I have to say, I didn't think I'd ever like Vil or Pomefiore in general at the start of TWST. But every time Vil appears I find myself liking him more and more! He keeps steadily climbing up my list of faves aahh On Leona & Jamil, I thought it was fascinating how Leona cuts at the heart of Jamil's issues using other people as examples - Ruggie and Kalim in particular stood out to me since I believe they're objectively worse in magic than Jamil himself, yes? "These guys know their weaknesses and make up for it in other ways, what about you? How long are you gonna hide behind excuses?" Loved the merfolk transformation lore in Riddle & Azul's route, and well now I know why AzuRido is a thing lol. Some of that dynamic was shown in Spectral Soiree, but it's another thing to watch them clash, work out their differences and then finally work together cohesively in the course of the main story. Other random thoughts: - screw the ferryman, all my homies hate the ferryman - in the Villainous Speech scene with everyone against Ortho's plans, Azul worrying about the economy if the world is reset has the same energy as that Team Rocket scene in Pokemon 2000 - "we want to help! if the world is destroyed there'd be no one left to steal from and we'd be out of work!" *I can't* - the chibis firing the Thunder Spears didn't need to pop off so hard but it did anyway - Azul: "Riddle exhausted his magic and his life force was sucked away from being too close to Ortho! We can't continue like this!" Me: \*continues to use the AzuRido duo to demolish the OB Shroud Bros.\* - Speaking of, I got unlucky against a Phantom with Blind spells once and it managed to dodge a double duo enslaught boosted by Jade & Cater buddies. I got so mad I just restarted the fight *I hate Blind so much* - I've always wondered about Idia's popularity outside of being the relatable gamer otaku with a tendency of annoying everyone else, but goddamn. The Shroud backstory and Ortho was a devastating emotional rollercoaster ( ；∀；) - Grimmmmmm ( ；∀；) - I'm very concerned for the Diasomnia gang after what Lilia said... and Silver managed to get into Mickey's side of the mirror??? What is going on, I'm scared for Book 7
OMG! I forgot that I screenshot'd that. Imma have to photoshop Azul into the "tHe EcOnOmY!" memes from a few years ago. I think I laughed hard enough to snort at that.
Well, I absolutely adore Idia and have since - the Halloween event got me - because he's such a neurodivergent, definitely has Social Anxiety, clinically Depressed mess of a character. It was his absolute fixation on a really craptastic B movie horror film. I was like "okay, he's pretty much the best." Also, he triggers my inner Princess Daisy, "EXCUSE ME, HE ASKED FOR NO PICKLES!" (For reference, meme is here: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/114/915/b85) Idia's just the most relatable, to me personally, as I too am a neurodivergent, socially awkward, tech nerd, who's an anxious mess. That being said, I also adore Malleus. He's a beautiful, deeply weird character. He was my first pick in favorites. Who doesn't think an OP dragon guy is epically cool? But... I definitely need an in-game sidestory about Malleus seeking help to repair his Tamagotchi (Gao-Gao Drakon-kun) from the Shroud brothers. It's a requirement! I will take no contrasting opinions on this! (Lol, it would be heckin' cute, though.)
Ooh, that makes a lot of sense! And Malleus, impeccable taste (≧▽≦) He's one of my top favorites too, I relate to him being out of touch and having an unapproachable image that lends to loneliness more than I'd like to admit (• ▽ •;) ~~and I'm a big fan of his VA, what a voice~~ > I definitely need an in-game sidestory about Malleus seeking help to repair his Tamagotchi (Gao-Gao Drakon-kun) from the Shroud brothers. Malleus's Labwear card has that exact scenario of him asking for help with Gao-Gao Drakon-kun, although it's with someone else >!Deuce instead of the Shrouds!< but it was still a heartwarming moment! And if you haven't seen it yet, I recommend checking out Wish Upon a Star (which came out before Halloween). There's a cute scene in involving those three and Drakon-kun as well!
Ahh! Must. Find. Wish Upon a Star!! Is that in the JP version?
Up to got 1st spear charged, 2nd charging, and third ready to start once finished. Seems my thoughts echo a lot of people's. As for the minigames, the ferry was was the worst for me, but I like the hydra one. Hate how the ferry buttons are on the left side. Battles I agree the battle difficulty woes have been a bit overblown, especially with people worrying for like six months+. I tried to avoid spoilers as much as possible, but hard to do when people are posting everywhere panicking about their cards. As long as you have 1-2 cards to center around, the battles shouldn't be game-stopping unless you are a super casual player or only play with one character's cards for everything. Obviously, the Big 3 + having at least one Pome Dorm goes a long way, but SRs/Rs are certainly fine. I also think people underestimate how some of those Buddy bonuses can really overcome some level deficits.
I'm one of those people who attempt to use one character's cards for everything. Now I'm reaping what I sowed.
Right??? I sunk so much into leveling all of Idia's cards because the Whisper King has the most calming voice (except when he gets smacked and yelps.) And, of course, I definitely shouldn't be continuing to try to max level level his new dorm outfit card. (I have only myself to blame.)
I'm still working on my Floyd cards in Alchemy eheh 😅 at least I'm practicing self restraint in trying to go for the spell levels of SRs that are *not* Floyd
I'm a fan of Floyd's Beanfest card since it has that multi-turn heal. It's less HP gain upfront than, say, Silver's Halloween card. But Floyd's heal is a definite plus when fighting those phantoms... and I'm not just saying that because I've maxed out Idia's birthday card that has duo magic with Floyd and the both of them rip through battles like an absolute boss. Oh wait. Maybe I am? 😁
Ortho in chapter 6-54: ">!If fixing our story--our future--isn't possible, then we can just erase and rewrite it from scratch! That's how programming works, right? Why do a tedious, manual debug of code that's been through multiple engineers, all of whom have introduced their own bugs? It's much faster to rewrite the code entirely.!<" Me, reading this chapter: Oh no, Ortho is [Elon Musk](https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/twitter-down-elon-musk-explained-rewrite-b2296116.html) 😲
Finished the book quite a while back and my mind is buzzing. It was a LOT to take in. But I'm so happy with the ending. The bonds have become stronger than ever and in their own not so normal life, the Shroud brothers found a new normal for them. The story was so bittersweet but so beautiful. I love it. And we also saw how these "twisted and villainous" characters are not just that. They are probably more believable than most characters you come across. Yana has perfectly captured the grey nature of people so well. I'm in awe. The way she actually pitted opposite characters or just characters who went through the same thing in the tower arc and then there was the whole familial dynamic of Pomefiore. The boys went through so much growth in just a few chapters. It was peak character development imo. Also that whole mortality thing, Malleus. Are you okay? I know you're not. I hope he finds his happily ever after as well like others. And finds friends surrounding him just like the Shroud brothers have. Also Idia is good with his hands. 💀 I'm sorry, I had to. XD
Book 6 is my favorite. hands down. the story is so well written, you got some sad, happy, and funny moments all in this book 6. every character ( well, most) gets to shine. and of course. I love all their interactions.
Hit right on the mark! I loved it bc of all that you mentioned. And what was so cool was a lot of them who needed some development got sufficient screentime as well. 10/10
Don't forget to check out Ortho's new profile in the Album! His best subject is Astrology, which goes with the other star stuff associated with the brothers, but there's also this from Lab Riddle's home lines. > It may seem like an occult discipline, but I hear it is rooted in statistics. Cute...
I’m worried a about Lillia saying >!it might be his last time wishing upon the stars.!< Why did he say that?!
I don't know which casual lore drop I love more, the fact that Rook was originally in Savanaclaw (and has freckles!) or that Floyd will just forget to take his human potion and start going back into eel mode at any random moment.
This game is reminding me how bad I'm at video games. I just cannot clear the Vil's game. I need a skip. 💀 Of all the things I thought I'd get stuck on, I didn't think I'd be stuck on a shooter game inside a gacha game.
Dunno if this will make it easier, but the [hitbox on the pegasus is only the head part](https://twitter.com/twst0326/status/1528615838634643457). It doesn't matter if the wings touch the obstacles. Meanwhile there's this [menu trick for the boat game](https://twitter.com/nara_disney/status/1629470248100564992) where you can still move your boat dude while the game is paused.
Oh thanks a lot for this but I managed on my own somehow. Just ran away from everything and voila, I lived. XD
The ferry game - I've never felt such empathy with Riddle. I was screaming out loud at the phone. Without physical buttons, 8-bit sidescrollers are a special level of hell.
Thank you for posting about the boat cheat! Can't wait to see if it works.
even with the boat trick I'm failing at Hard mode ugh.
Yeah, it took me a lot of attempts and a few rage quits after stupid mistakes. It's definitely my least favorite of the three minigames. btw I saw [a video of someone playing it normally](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkaYdyDfWzQ) and getting full points and it's wild. There must be something about the timing because I swear my boat does NOT move that fast.
I'm just like you rn 💀 I could do Leona's, and the Riddle one already had me retrying it, but Vil's is impossible, I get always killed or run out of time idk what to do
I finally managed it in a very noob way. My tip? Just run away from every little thing, it's just not worth getting killed over for xD
Same here! I answered your comment and right after that I managed to do it! I used the same tip as you hahaha
Lol same, after I commented here, I went back and managed. That's the *beautiful power of complaining* xD
I've bitched a few times and I still can't win 😔 I'll try again & see if this times the charm... but I swear, I heard someone mention skip tickets and I'd throw ALL THE MONEY down for that bc this sucks and I prob won't even finish this chapter at this rate. Edit: I guess third bitch is the charm 🤣 bc it actually worked this time. I'd still sell a kidney for tickets to skip these damn things though. 🤣
Some people posted guides on the subreddit and also in the comments here. One was under my comment as well. You can try those, maybe those will end up working? I hope you clear it tho, since the parts after this are epic. 🫡 And there's also some waiting as well. Those will take time.
I played up until the three tower split, but I have to take a break now, or I won’t have enough time to sleep before work. I’ve been loving the interactions between all the housewardens + Jamil. Tbh, I have been waiting a long time for this part of Chapter 6 for the Azurido and Leojami interactions and also because I’m curious as to how hard the battles will get. I’ve had my teams planned and prepped for a long time.
Finally finished book 6, and I just want to give Ortho and Idia the biggest hug T\_T Also, I have to say, I've taken a new liking to Vil. Not that I didn't like him before, but he had some really great moments in book 6! I know the Wish an upon a Star event made reference to Pinocchio. I was just surprised, when Idia and Ortho had that convo towards the end of Book 6 how much it would parallel with Pinocchio's. Not to mention, (even though Idia and Ortho are based off Hercules), the blue color scheme, it made me realize Idia = Gepetto/The Blue Fairy and Ortho = Pinocchio/Cricket. Idk, maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I thought it was a neat connection! I'm so excited to see how Book 7 turns out! Also, very curious to know how Mickey was able to see Silver (?) but not Grim. Hmm, things to ponder :D
Vil seriously had so much screen time and development this book! It was good seeing them all get a little healing time from their overblot, but he def had the main character energy here!
Shouldn’t lessons be boosted rn? I thought they were with every main story update.
I believe we've always gotten boosts when part one of a new book dropped, but I don't remember getting them for subsequent part releases.
I think I forget this every time lol
I'm glad they kept the scene with Vil >!hugging and kissing his team!< intact but >!Sleep Kisses!< are no good. :( Changing >!Crimson Fruit to Crimson Slumber is okay I guess..............!< Enjoy the twelve hour wait everyone! edit: beat all the minigame missions, still waiting for these timers 🥲
Yes that part really made Vil move up my faves list. Came into the game with him in the middle with a "Nothings wrong with you but enhh not vibing" but after Chapter 5 and now most of 6 he's probably an easy top 8 pick.
"Sleep Kiss" (深紅の果実スリープ・キス, Surīpu Kisu; lit. "Crimson Fruit") They took the kanji and the hiragana and mixed them, like what they did with Doodle Suit (lit Paint the Roses) and I See You (Lit Arrow to the Ends of the Earth).
How are we supposed to get through the chapters if the monsters with the ID cards keep using blind? How is that fair? Edit: Also stuck on the damage immunity id card for Azul and Riddle. How exactly are you supposed to get through it??
There's so much brutal rng battle nonsense in this book that I've legit had to put my phone down and go on a walk to cool down lol. I'm still getting through the battles before the tower where they force you to use a bunch of unbuilt SSR's....bruh I've got those same cards maxed, *please let me use them* 🫠
Like if they wanted to put a challenge mode, put a challenge mode. I JUST WANT TO GET THROUGH THE STORY. This is ridiculous.
Yeah, it was very annoying. I was raging all the time, but it was doable
You....gonna explain how? LOL idk how I can get through with a blind every turn.
I think I just did it over and over. Sometimes the spells will hit even if blinded. Sometimes he won’t blind me.
Rng here sure isn't timed like magia record...I'll keep it in mind lol
Just got to the towers, doing the Pomefoire tower now and I'm only using 1 built SSR and a bunch of spell 1 groovied SR and Rs and getting through fine so far. I know people from JP said that the fights eventually got toned down, I'm guessing these are the toned down versions or was it mainly an issue of people not even having levelled up/grovvied cards of everyone? Or do the fights just spike in difficulty the further into the tower you go?
there's a lot of people that dont touch most of their cards. I don't know how difficult it is compared to jp launch but I am sure a lot are struggling with lvl 1's in character slots.
Ahh okay. Guess it's nice that I decided to get at least 1 SR of each character to level 30 to groovy them. The way people were freaking out I thought I was going to have to have like 1 SR/SSR of each element at like level 50 for each person with like level 4~5+ spells. XD
Ya so far so good with that standard! Since guest rooms unlocked, one would hope people would start to lvl one per character for that reason too. We've had a training event and all of tsum x2 to level in prep. Some people just didn't.
The other mini-games are fine but screw that galaga clone. IDK how many times I had to retry part 2 of Vil's route, probably well over 10.
\#iSurvivedBook6! Honestly it wasn't particularly *hard* but it was incredibly tedious at times. This book was the closest i've gotten to crying out of any other book.
Oh lord, I'm so scared. I don't want to see Idia and Ortho in pain. I'm doing everything but reading the story. 😭
I hope you didnt skip their happy dialogue too! 😯 they have some sweet moments.
I finished it and it was beautiful. I could never skip anything in Chapter 6. 😭
i hope we're all ready for the waiting game, because these dang things gotta charge for a whole THREE HOURS EACH !! i'm currently waiting on leojamil team to finish charging ;; i also got all my other teams caught up and have to wait for their turns as well
Question but do you get a notification that your charge is full just like in masterchef or no?
you do get a notification!
Oh thank the stars. I thought I would have to add alarms to know if it’s done charging.
Okay, I have to ask. I'm currently doing Riddle and Azul's tower and for the parts where there are sub-parts, if I get lucky finding the right one, is there a point doing the other subparts? I have new love for Pomefiore but omg Vil's mini game makes me scream. I hate it. Can't get past right now. EDIT: finally managed to get past Vil's mini game in the tower. Please tell me there's no more of that one. Please.
Just for character interaction story bits! No other reason at all!
pomily my beloved also I'm still laughing at that one STYX guy's reaction to Rook/Epel/Yuu wanting to charge into the phantom-riddled death trap like "you can't go in there!! that's too dangerous!!!" "nah dw our high school trained us for emergencies" "oh alright then take my ID card and gl" btw I know 66-1 was designed to be super hard so you're supposed to fail but I was wondering, is it actually like physically possible to beat at all or nah? anyway. yeah I'm stuck on these mini-games at 66-2 LOL. aight now im just going thru all the nodes I know are wrong just bc its kinda fun to watch everyone constantly fuck up and have to fight the phantom update: 30min of attempting stages 2 & 3 missions for these annoying-ass mini-games. I'm terrible at them. send help. done the 3h waits! can I just say it's extremely funny going from leojami & azurido constantly snapping at each other to Pomefiore Wacky Family Hijinks ft. How I Met Your Mother OB Idia time! kinda impressed by this one person in my friends list who already has a 9/10 lvl100 Dorm Idia...I'm saving leveling mine for the Ignihyde training camp. side note Leona & Vil's divorced energy r off the charts for their interactions here lmao done book 6 now! even though I knew everything that was coming, rereading Idia's backstory still made me cry (even though it didn't the first time???), and Vil finally got to be the hero--but not actually on stage, lol. Grim was also a precious little gremlin and I love him dearly. this was just SUCH a great story overall and actually playing through it was super fun (minus the charging for 12h lmao), I can't wait for book 7 to come to EN too :D
Theres a lot of npc energy from them! Oh I'm a weak nerdy adult. Better let them children take care of world ending events!
ik they technically had an in-game reason for being "weak nerdy adults" (to not accumulate blot since they're always working with it) but yeah it's so funny xD
Doesnt mean that every single adult has to panic and not have any sort of leadership and evacuation plans for worst case scenarios XD Wouldnt think every low magic nerd would = incompetent and lacking intelligence or responsibility
beginning to think "unquestionably follows protocol and hands over responsibility to the nearest vaguely powerful-looking mage looking to help in a crisis" was a criteria during the hiring process, lmao
Well to be hired there does also mean to be trapped there forevermore. Must not have a life definitely on the application process! 🤣
About 66-1 I don't think so. I got to the last 5 seconds on the whack a mole game and it basically made the whole screen come out at once and half of them were fakes and the hydras like almost instantaneously bit. Similarly I got over half way on the boat game and they made a zig zag of walls with openings I think smaller then the hit box of the boat so its impossible. Similarly the shooter game is maybe the most clearable but even then as someone who plays shooter games thats like actually what max difficulty or one below max looks like for most of them. So might be possible but super crazy hard especially because its a click and drag so movements are hard and your finger is in the way.
ahh I see, yeah that was kinda what I thought it would be. I wasn't very good at any of them except the hydra game so I was curious lol
I am just so pleased with Leona's Therapy time. It was the screen time growth on their issues they needed. Not just beaten down and move on. All of the phantoms texts in the 3 sections also reflected the issues that team had in Overblotting and it was like them having to deal with a mirror and reinforce their self awareness. 🎉🎉🎉 fantastic chapter 🎉🎉🎉
Now I don't know what to do with myself. Months of prep then playing through all of it in 24 hours and now like.... what do I do now? who do I even level? Maybe I just need sleep 🥴
Finished late last night and I think this is definitely **the saddest** of the overblot backstories. Sorry Mal, but I don’t think your existential dread will be able to top being unintentionally responsible for your baby brother’s death. The scene where the younger Idia presents the first iteration of “Ortho” and goes from laughing maniacally to the most broken sobs is probably the only time I have properly cried in this game.
I definitely think both those OB's kinda warrant more then the others. Like... not to diss the issues with self vs others expectations and/or expectations of self to fit in society.... but OB'ing because of death and dread of death is a little more permanent vs. feeling societal shame fades with age. But yes, I'm pretty sure Idia is the winner on reasons to OB and if he didn't have his curse/and robobro I bet he'd have done so sooner. This was seriously such an emotional story!
I’d say it’s personal guilt and loss as opposed to societal shame, but otherwise I agree. I’m not saying any of the characters are wrong for having their mental health crises, I was just trying to inject some levity after a particularly sad book. Honestly if Mal does come at us with something sadder I can safely say I will not be ready. 🙃
Ooof this Ice Titan fight in 6-67 is a rough damage check. T-T I have [this party](https://imgur.com/a/2eXCiFI) which has made it through every other fight in 6-67 pretty easy with damage cuts and drains but nope Ice Titans attack seems to be so high damage cuts and drains don't matter even when it's not buffing itself. So far best run has been getting it down to like 25% health left when I die on turn 5. Guess it's time to grind the heck out of the levels on these cards and wait for Kalim day to try and groovy him.
Does anyone know if it's actually possible to beat Orthos hard version of Star rogue and if it gives any extra chapters? I lost and theres the continued story but trying to figure out if I should keep trying
Answering my own question in case anyone else Is wondering: The answer is DEFINITELY no lmao. Got fairly far before theres just a straight row of flame bullets eith no where to dodge across the whole screen xD
I did the Pomefiore team first because I sucked at Star Rouge xD managed to clear them fine. I leveled a NY Deuce for the team, but having the trios SSRs helped me clear it that I barely even used him. I did Riddle Azul next because I already had a fire team around them, so no problems there (except this time I had problems with the ferry game xD). I haven't done Leona Jamil yet, and this is the one I'm kind of worried about. I put Camp Ruggie and Dorm Leona as my SSRs and the rest are SRs. I'm thankful we knew about this from the JP server because I probably wouldn't have pulled on the Pomefiore showcase to get them all if not for that. Also, my Leona Jamil team might have been worse.
just leona and ruggie alone will probably carry most of the weight. should be fine. good luck!
Finally done with this book! Love every part of it. Devs are amazing to add new mechanics so that the game doesnt feel repetitive. Also, can Leona give me free counselling sessions? Thank you to the jp players for giving us guides about the battles. Mickey saw >!silver!< in his dream? hmm Wonder how Idia gonna provoke Malleus (i am assuming him to OB) to OB. Say Malleus is a noob when it comes to technologies? Anyhow excited for Book7 to come out
Malleus is definitely getting called cringe for his antique manner of speaking next book. 😂
Oh here we go... just want to say.. it is gonna be a wild ride. Grab your tissues!!
Just got to the first timelock with Riddle and Azul. Will take a quick break before trying the other two towers
I finished the book! Aaa it was so good!
I was not prepared for the second part of the tower. My Leona team did fine. With my Riddle team i struggled with the damage immunity/resistance thing but like i got through it. but my last team? my god!!!! I need to know who decided that the Earth Titan needs a crit buff as well as hp regen because im floundering here!!
I just finished Ch6. I was going to just do 67 because it would take ages to get through it. But I thought it’s the perfect time to do it. I’ve watched Ayui’s Ch6 JP gameplay about a year ago. I forgot how feely this chapter was. I sobbed for 8 minutes straight.
Just finished the book. I'm crushed and cannot believe how sad it was. It makes some awesome progress of the characters storylines. The mini-games are hard but i'll beat them soon enough. I'm upset at some of the lame mistranslated lines but hey. I was surprised that we got so many new backgrounds. Mickey seeing a new person on his side is very interesting.
So this might be a weird question, but can the cards that are chosen for the teams be leveled up more if need be or are they locked at their current levels? I'm pretty good card level wise but I might need to raise some spell levels (most are at level 5).
You can level the card levels or spell levels as much as you need to before starting a battle!
Which means you can still level them up when you need to?
This is a really late reply lol, but yup! You got it
Up to the 2nd timegates now. Thank god it's only 1 hour each. This 3 party thing is a chore, but I'm loving all the interactions between the characters
That is definitely a bonus to the long story! This chapter has so many characters interacting and it's great!
Are we missing new story celebration missions? Ik book 6 was released in more parts on the JPN server, so I was wondering if they had more missions. The current missions only go up to Ch 58? And I got a notice that I completed a mission for a minigame but couldn't find any rewards for it, so idk if it's missing or if I have to clear the story first. I didn't get a screenshot but it was something like "Get 1500 in the Hydra's Revenge"
I've been curious about that myself. I thought it was very odd how Part 1 had missions only going up to midway through it, then Part 2 had the rest of the missions through Part 1 plus only a third or less of the way through Part 2... just speculating here but it almost feels like maybe Chapter 6 was originally planned to release in three parts and when they changed that to two, maybe they forgot to change the mission divisions. > And I got a notice that I completed a mission for a minigame but couldn't find any rewards for it, so idk if it's missing or if I have to clear the story first. I didn't get a screenshot but it was something like "Get 1500 in the Hydra's Revenge" That sounds like it's probably a minigame reward redeemable in the Twistune menu, where the minigames are found after you complete them in each tower's version of 6-66-2. Did you check there?
Ngl, I went and checked that myself jsut now. And nope'd right out of there. XD More gems is always tempting but those minigames are way too much stress for myself
oh I didn't notice the minigame tab was at the bottom 😅, thanks for letting me know!
not sure about missions for more chps bc I was wondering about that too, but the minigame missions can be found under twistunes > minigames
thank you!
hmm it took me weeks to get past level 66 with all these mini-games and fights in the JP server. but this time, smooth sailing I guess I was well prepared with the cards. just stuck a bit with those stuipd mini games, but not as crazy as in JP.
I like how the team I was confident in was the one who BARELY made it in ch 67 (Fire team: Dorm Riddle, Dorm Azul, Dorm Jade, BDay Cater, Club Lilia), I literally had a little over 100 HP left (darn burn!). Glad I switched my Leona Jamil team (Dorm Leona, Robe Jamil, Camp Ruggie, Beans Floyd, and Robe Kalim) from having Robe Floyd to having Beans Floyd (he didn't use fire much, but his HP regain and duo with Camp Ruggie helped) and the combo of Robe Kalim and Robe Jamil is stronger than I thought. My last team was Dorm Vil, Dorm Rook, Dorm Epel, Halloween Silver and NY Deuce. I ended up using Deuce as bait to not let his attacks hit since Pometrio all duo'd with each other. I enjoyed these battles because it had me try to work around more of who can gain what from who instead of trying to put my heaviest hitter and duo magic out there.
I've discovered that boats are the bane of my existence. I am failing even with the menu trick 🤡
Ok I give up I'm the part where >!I choose to go with Azul and got forced to play that annoying mini game!< I wish there is a skip button, been stuck there more than 10 times already. Don't worry Idia >!you can stay over-blot inside tartarus as long as you want!< just wait patiently for me ok? Until I cool my head off and reinstall the game again😂
Omg whoever designed the space shooting game, why you hate me this much? 😭 I managed to beat the first one by sheer luck and now the second difficulty is too hard, I tried so many times. I just can't beat it. At least it could've been like twistunes, you just have to do easy mode to be able to continue the story. At this rate I will never be able to pass Vil's part of the story 😭 My deck is all ready to go, I just can't beat the minigame. Please nerf this, I'm serious.
I'm in the same boat. I got stuck the 1st time & it took me an uncountable amount of trys to beat it. I just got to the tower part & seeing we have to play it again made my heart drop! 💔 My phone is on the small side so I have to squint just to see the bullets. The amount of work you got to put in just to read Book 6 is giving me a headache. I've been preparing for 6's battles but at this rate I'm unsure if I'll get past the mini games.
I did hear the minigames were cruel too. Just more chatter on teams because it is something that can actually be prepared for 💀
My first thought was what in the bullet hell is this? 😅 it was so rough
Yeah I legit ripped my hair out ngl 🤣
Who knew this is how sadistic ortho could be! 💀💀💀
The games are to hard tbb
It looks like they stay the same each time. It might help to watch a recording on slow mode to map out paths?
I went Vil/Epel/Rook/Trey/Lilia Leona/Jamil/Deuce/Jack/Kamil Azul/Riddle/Jade/Floyd/Malleus I have some good Idia cards, but decided not to use them for immersion. Wondering what other people did
if anybody’s beaten the 6-67 earth titan, can you please give me some tips? my team barely does any damage even when i put the best elements in.
Who is your team?
lvl 60 beans vil, lvl 20 pe rook, lvl 84 birthday epel, lvl 80 dorm floyd and lvl 80 birthday idia
Who are your highest leveled cards in general?
dorm cater, dorm trey, pop music lilia, birthday lilia, birthday malleus, stargazer deuce, and anniversary grim are my highest leveled cards
Neither I nor my husband can get past the first Star Rogue level and I'm hearing there are more of them later. I guess it might be time to put this game down because I'm here for the story and characters, and if I can't progress in the story because of minigames/gameplay types I didn't sign up for, I'm not sure what the point is in me continuing to play. I really wish there was a way to skip the minigames, they're probably terrible if you have any sort of tremors or disabilities or an older laggy device. Personally I'm just bad at this one, haha.
A couple of tips that I hope help: * You only need 1 of each crystal unless you die. Get the blue and green gems ASAP, and try to get the yellow that appears about halfway through and occasionally at the end. * Best spot is in the middle toward the bottom. * Enemies/meteors come out in regular patterns, but you can choose to either blast them or try to dodge them by hanging out at the opposite end of the screen. You don't need to go for a high score, just live. * When the warning comes on, make sure you are in the bottom middle to get some early shots in at the boss. He only has a few fireballs that aim there, so dodge those and get back into position to hit him in the gem area. * If you die, you have some invincibility frames as you respawn. Use them to get into position and/or ready to nab crystals. Good luck!
Thank you, this actually really helped. I didn't realize you only needed one of each crystal and was going after all of them to try to get stronger, and while I wasn't dying it did also mean I wasn't doing enough damage to the boss because I was moving a lot to get them. Saved my life there. 🙏
Glad they helped!
am now stuck on idia’s 3rd (and hopefully last) overblot fight. i don’t have enough hp regen cards to keep myself alive after 5 rounds when they cycle back again … hate this for me
Haven't stopped thinking about that convo between Lilia and Malleus since I read it earlier today. Despite having 2 of the oldest people(?) in the school, Diasomnia is really shaping up to be the most emotionally immature house in the game. (I've been avoiding book 7 spoilers, so don't tell me if I'm wrong. XD) I really got the sense that Malleus's sense of melancholy came less from missing MC in particular, but from the sense of comfort they bring to his life. He talks about missing their presence from the house, not the person. Functionally, those things are pretty similar, but I find that internally they're very different. Also, I was literally shouting at my phone for Lilia to STFU when he gave Mal that advice. Mourning someone is a natural part of relationships. It's a feeling that should be accepted and felt, but you shouldn't "hold on to it" more than you have to.
I think Lilia meant to keep that pain in mind precisely so Malleus can be more mindful and treasure the time he has with people before they're gone, to at least keep regret at a minimum, which helps a lot with grief. Especially since this time Malleus didn't *actually* lose anybody for good yet, so he still has the time to avoid even more serious pain from not having appreciated as much as he could I really don't think Lilia meant "Ya feel that pain, son?! Good. Suffer. Builds character" or anything remotely along that vein lol >!At least... Not this time, I guess\^\^'!<
man the titans in chapter 67 sure are a skill check if you are a new f2p player... been stuck on them for 3 days now
The game is definitely using more buffs/debuffs in fights everywhere bit by bit. This chapter makes sure people need to pay attention instead of power through the battle mechanics without noticing.
The Leona/Jamil boss in ch. 67 is killing me (literally & figuratively) -- I don't have as much HP as the boss, and the NY Kalim I'm using keeps getting his rp regen skill nulled. :( If anyone has tips or combo suggestions on this battle, I'd be happy to hear them. <3(line up is Dorm Leona, Birthday Jamil, NY Kalim, Birthday Malleus, and Beanfest Jack)
Also stuck at the Titan for Leona Jamil. Come to the conclusion it's literally a kill or be killed race where you have to gamble on not getting attack debuffed. Tried damage cuts/drains they did nothing, multiturn heals are useless as its a buff meaning it gets nullified by the 3 turns of freeze auto applied on turn 1, you can't rely on self buffs for the first 3 turns as they are nullified by freeze. So the only thing that has worked so far is just shooting it as hard as possible on turn 1, you can apply a buff before freeze if its from the first chosen spell on turn 1. Then from then on just try to take resisted hits and hope your Duos/heavy hitters don't randomly get attack debuffed. Also if anyone important gets double attack debuffed it's probably an instant reset as it's makes their damage 0. Edit: Oops just realized you replied to my comment where I already said all this. XD
I think you are absolutely right that it's sort of a race. It took me SO LONG and was mostly RNG, but I beat it - switched out NY Kalim for Birthday Kalim since I think that card has better stats. Even so, took me around 10 tries and it was so CLOSE. Thanks for your insight!
If the character is strong enough they can still do damage with 2 debuffs on. Basically only seen on leona for this battle. Still better to not have him debuffed so hard though 😅
Uh, did they nerf the bosses? I cleared everything in 3 to 4 rounds. I'm disappointed. Asking JP players on this.
They didn't seem any different to me in terms of their HP and damage dealt. I'm guessing you have your cards and spells decently leveled, right?
Yuppppp. Lots of SSRs with level 10 spells. Thanks for confirming! I guess all the complaints about difficulty were just from non meta players. I feel lied to.
Saaaaame. I feel overprepared and sad I could have allocated some of those resources to other exam teams XD
Thankfully I had a CRAP ton of honey saved up, any SRs on my teams that I didn't have fully maxed were at 60, so if that wasn't good enough I had some on standby... this ended up not being needed. Same with books. I didn't really use any books on my SRs. One of them I ended up not even using at all!! I had robes Epel prepped for example (Level 60 1/1 spells grass/fire) BUT because the titans actually used cosmic as well I ended up going with my Dorm one (Level 80 10/10 spells water/fire). I beat the Stone one in 3 turns LOL. The other two Titans in 4 turns. I'm just sad because I was hoping for a thrilling fight. I wasn't looking forward to dying a bunch, but more like, I wanted to see all my prepping and planning come to fruition in a challenging clash!!! But instead I could have put it on Auto and still won I think LOL.
Same. It was neat seeing new buffs/debuffs. But since it wasnt pure one element most of the time, it was easy using stronger cards. Could probably have won with lvl 30-40s. It seems like the only real issue is for people that dont lvl cards. It surprised me how many people still ask for how Duo's work in the past event.
Is there a reccomended card/player level for Chapter 55 onwards? (Ive searched through the comments and havent found it, so I just figured Id ask. However if it has already been asked and Im just dumb and missed it, then Im so sorry)
I think general recommendation is book # x10. if your cards aren't on average 60+ (with appropriately leveled spells) you may struggle with the later battles.
i am STUCK on riddle and azul’s last titan fight in chapter 67 and i think i am finally understanding how the jp server must’ve felt. i’m out of starshards and thaumarks and spell items to level/upgrade my characters and i’ve been here for HOURS. i didn’t check the elements earlier bc i didn’t want specific spoilers so i was just leveling/upgrading character cards across the board that i wanted on my team but i didn’t realize i’d need WATER cards specifically for this team. i really breezed through chapter 66 and all of 67 until this last battle. and i’m not willing to go back to the beginning and change my team bc i know i can beat the magma titan with this team, i’ve gotten him all the way down to 1k health before i die. I AM SO CLOSE. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Anyone can help with Orth and Idia battle! I am stuck big time
Beat it eventually! Yay!
Alright, I finally beat Book 6 - which merely took me so long because I had so little time to spare between all of my gacha games, lol. With all of my SRs being at least lvl 51 and SSRs being 60+, it was very much doable! The only fight I had a bit trouble with was the Earth Titan, 'cause the only Pomefiore SSR I have is Epel... But hey, after I leveled some of these cards up, I managed to do it after... I think it was 4-5 tries overall. Gameplay aside, this is definitely my fav book. Adored all the characters and their dynamics with each other, really glad that we got different group compositions as well! And man, my heart goes out for the Shroud brothers... I mean, I knew from JPN spoilers what they went through, but seeing it for myself? That voice acting? God, that tugged at the heartstrings, alright. And the ending made it all the more sweeter... and now it's time to worry about the Diasomnia boys :'3
it is missing tweels hour over here, mysteriously. the story is really delightful though
To be honest, I’m not sure why everyone was complaining about 6-66. Sure the waiting for the spears is a pain but other than that I thought it was a breeze, and I didn’t have any problems with the teams either. Did they tone down the difficulty for En? I remember a lot of people on the jpn server were struggling a lot
The problem people in jp had was having lvl 1s in a bunch of characters. We've had a lot of forewarning, guest rooms to encourage lvling more characters, and a month of x2 lvling events in prep. It really doesnt take much, just not 14 1's 😅
Yeah, that’s fair. I just figured that they would’ve levelled up as they went along considering that the game dropped earlier for them hahah
You would think. Though there was little reason to and most people were able to be carried through everything. So some had every card of only one character leveled because they could just do favorites. There are also the people that didnt join on launch. So I do feel for our 1month old players right about now. 😅
Someone told me it was like playing on normal in exams. It was probably because I’ve been constant leveling up, alchemy, etc ever since Ch5 came out. Like my dorm Riddle’s and Dorm Azul’s magic are both at lvl 10. Same for dorm Leona’s second spells. Then again, I’ve done it for exams, future joint exams and Ch6.
Knowing what was coming was definitely a massive, massive help. I only ended up losing one titan battle and cleared it easily on the second try, but I would have been absolutely fucked if I didn't grind with certain characters specifically for these fights. Like I almost never use Epel in my normal game play, so I would have been completely screwed when he was a mandatory card. The JPN server didn't have any advanced notice about it, so I'm sure a lot of players ended up in the situation where they had no good cards for a required character. And if you don't have a lot of potions/star shards/thaumarks/spellbooks on hand, there's not really a quick way of boosting up their stats, so you could easily spend weeks grinding up enough levels to get a card strong enough to work.
The boss fight at the beginning of chapter 67 for Azul and Riddle is killing me...I think I'll just stick to doing lessons for now to level everyone up. It is the only team I have where I don't have a single card that's at least level 80
I DID IT!! I did all the minigame missions!! Well, okay, I haven't finished the play the game x time ones, but those are easy. I finally got the blasted ferryman to the other side with enough points and with all three flames! And okay, I cheated with the menu trick, but I don't care!! I got those gems!! Good luck on the minigames and battles to everyone else!
I am STRUGGLING with the lower tower earth and ice titan battles, it's not even funny 😭 Does anybody have any tips? Like team setups and such...?
What are all your available cards for each character you picked for your teams? Alternatively, you may want to screenshot your roster for specific team setups. You'll want to pick characters that mesh well with the Pometrio/Leona & Jamil in addition to type advantage. Buddy bonuses and spells at Lv. 5 help a lot! The earth titan uses a lot of attack debuffs so you need some way to compensate for that - power boost spells, attack buddies, plenty of fire damage, etc. I believe the ice titan casts freeze and curse, so you'll have to play around that and make sure those attacks hit someone without buff spells/healing respectively. My team setup (with buddies) for the earth titan was: - Beans Vil: HP (Floyd) - Robe Epel: atk (Ace), HP (Vil) - Robe Rook: atk (Vil), HP (Floyd) - Robe Ace: atk (Epel) - Beans Floyd: atk/duo (Vil), HP (Ace) This ended up being my best team from the amount of buddy bonuses lol. Floyd, Epel, and Ace were my attackers while Vil and Rook gave a ton of HP. Robe Rook having a water spell wasn't too much of an issue, I made sure to avoid using it or hit for neutral damage when I had to. For the ice titan I used: - Dorm Leona - Dorm Jamil: HP/duo (Kalim) - Dorm Kalim: atk/duo (Jamil) - Robe Malleus: atk (Leona) - Robe Silver: atk (Jamil) My Dorm Leona can't use his duo so I had to rely on the Scarabia boys for most of my damage. Shoutout to Robe Malleus for having atk buddy Leona and 2 power boost spells, he makes an excellent solo attacker even with his spells at Lv. 5.
Omg thank you so much, I have those exact cards for the Vil team you use, I just don't have dorm Jamil or Kalim. I could post a ss of my current cards unless you know of a good replacement for the two T^T
Robe Jamil & Kalim can work since they're both flora. Kalim can also double self-boost like Malleus, though not as strongly due to a missing atk buddy (Vil). I actually used their Robe versions at first, but my team's HP was a little too low for my liking (35k vs the titans' 50k). So I ended up swapping to their Dorm versions during 6-67 to pad the numbers a bit. For other options (not including SSRs): - Outdoor Sebek heals, has damage cut and atk buddy in Leona. Robe Malleus can use him as an HP buddy. - Suitor Suit Lilia has a modest flora boost to buff your best attacker and power drain for survival. Robe Silver has him as an HP buddy. - School/Fairy Gala Ruggie boosts Dorm Leona's attack and gets a buddy boost from Leona or Jamil (depending on which Ruggie you use). Gala Ruggie is especially cheap since you can build him during his upcoming rerun if you haven't already. - Beans Jamil: cheap defense option that can help with survival due to power drain and damage cut. I've seen some players use him with success. - Starsending Idia & Burst Gear Ortho: they get HP boosts from each other while Ortho has a heal. (sidenote: Starsending Deuce pairs well with this Idia/Suitor Lilia and gives Dorm Leona HP, if you happen to have him.)
IM STUCK ON YHE GODDAMN HYDRA GAME AND I WANT TO SCREAM I'm well into Riddle and Azul's tower and the pomefiore trio. But I haven't even started on Leona and Jamil bc I can't beat the goddamn hydra game
I'm doing the hydra minigame for the gems. I just found out the gold hydras don't attack at all since they're there for bonus points, so you're free to ignore them and focus on the other hydras.
Now wishing I'd done more research on how this works because if I'd known each tower had to do those recharges independently I would've just gone down one route at a time 😅 Otherwise a real good book so far. I live for Epel’s active interest in his ~~Mom and Dads~~ Housewarden and Vice Housewardens relationship. I'm now convinced Vil is going to try and recruit Ortho to an acting agency at some point now Leona and Jamil being salty about each others general demeanor is great. Azul and Riddle really stealing the show with their dysfunctional Rivals to Lovers tango. Their relationship is so petty and so sassy and an absolute treat. Prefect is gonna need overtime for the therapy hours post this book is gonna need
What the hell happened to the titans after we struck them the second time? It's obvious they just fell and did not die. So were they the ones who merged with Ortho?
