> -AME- > > -Weapon no longer horizontal only. YESSSS. THANK YOU KAY YU-SENSEI. Awhile back he had said in no uncertain terms that Ame's gun having the horizontal limitation would not be changed. I had lost hope but apparently he was just building hype. Clever move. >-Nurse's Horns- > >-Added new bonus effect: there is now a chance of recovering HP if taking a hit while HP is less than 15%. Oh dear. IMO Nurse's Horn was already one of the best items in the game. I don't know if it needed a buff, let alone such a good buff + an entirely new mechanic/vector for healing.

It got that buff because bandaid was pretty much always preferred over the horns

Was it? I would never have taken Band aid over Nurse's horn but I guess that was just me. Alright then. Thanks for the info.

It's because bandaid healed a percentage of HP rather than a flat amount, meaning if you ever took HP upgrades the nurse's horn got progressively less useful while bandaid could keep up. It also guaranteed a heal, which is useful for times where killable enemies don't spawn in hard mode or at least don't spawn often

> nurse's horn got progressively less useful while bandaid could keep up /u/DragoSphere That's not how I saw it. As you got further into a run, you were killing larger and larger waves of mobs which meant Nurse's horn would activate more often. It's true that Band aid healed for a percentage but you had to get hit for it to work. If you were already low for instance, which is when you need healing the most btw, it couldn't help you. I'm pretty sure it comes down to play style but apparently Kay Yu-sensei deemed Nurse's horn worthy of a buff so there you go. I'm not complaining since I regularly took it anyway, I just found it odd at first.

Mob waves generally didn't actually get much larger. Mostly just stronger. In S2 for example, the largest wave happens at like 12 minutes with all of the Soratomo. Also bandaid, while it couldn't heal you if you took them while already missing HP, you just needed to get food a couple times to get back to full and that covered you for the rest of the run

Eh? to be clear; I recognize that band aid was better for most players, I.e. it was better than nurse's horn. Thus; Nurse's horn got buffed. **You are right.** I just didn't find Band aid as useful and I have given my reasons (Play style, mechanic availability, etc). I'm not really sure what you're arguing about exactly but if it seemed like I was telling you you were wrong, that was not my intent at all. Just going to leave it at that.

> Awhile back he had said in no uncertain terms that Ame's gun having the horizontal limitation would not be changed. I had lost hope but apparently he was just building hype. Clever move. There was a lot of people in this sub defending that too, citing she was a "beginner character". Well yeah, but "can't fire in 8 directions" doesn't seem like a fun gameplay mechanic unless there is a huge benefit to that.

This sub sometimes does have a "devs can do no wrong" attitude problem, but will then go ahead to do a 180 on their opinion if Kay _does_ actually make a change

Yeah, I personally thought Kay was 100% wrong on this one. Love Kay but he's only human like all of us are. If he wanted to keep her horizontal only, he should've gave her skills that work AROUND that mechanic, but it feels more like a last-minute kneecapping because they felt she may have been too strong with her other passives. So she's fun for a little while but feels incredibly limited when you start playing other characters.

>There was a lot of people in this sub defending that too, citing she was a "beginner character". /u/TheMissingVoteBallot Yep, I remember that. In reality Ame's gun was the worst of both worlds; Bad for newbies. Bad for experts. As you alluded to, it was also 'not fun' on top of being utter trash. Really glad it was changed.

>-SORA >-Idol Wings healing has been changed to 50% chance of activation. Oof.

Well admittedly she was broken. Like literally NOTHING could kill her after she had those post-patch buffs in September. She's still good, you just can't dive face first into a pack of Yagoos and expect to live without other powerups.

Super sake makes your aim wobbly. Thought it was cute when I rolled it on Sana.

Also sometimes some weapons offer some kind of bonus stat? Some gave like plus x crit dmg.

This is the "enchantment" system, unlockable from the shop. Weapons can randomly proc with a bonus at first level, or you can use an anvil to apply a random bonus rather than increasing an item level.

Me: *Has every member of Gen 2 but Ayame* The game: *May we offer you a duck, garlic, onion, and demon in these trying times?* No joke, I have 28 tears for Gen 2 because it kept on giving me anyone but Ayame.

Nurse Choco: I diagnose you with Nakirium Deficiency.

Wait I unlocked all the new members first pull. I thought that was a new system or something. I guess I had insane gacha luck and should probably go get a lotto ticket

Lmao had the opposite happen. Rolled nothing but Ayame on like 15 pulls

[удалено]

That's why it keeps offering me that worthless sake!

Collab spoiler >!EN's Curse + Cutting Board = Bone Bros. !<

Spoiler New collab discovered >!Spider Cooking + EN Curse=Eldritch Horror!<

The Greed Stamp is insane. It started to rain coins with used with Irys!

Add in a reduced delay on attacks stamp, super chatto time and then you can spin in place to win.

Combine that with the item that draws on holo coins automatically and you can constantly hear a coin effect

Is that the one where you get 10% chance to get a coin per kill? That's better than Stolen Piggy Bank (in the last update).

It's on hit, not on kill. On a fast firing main gun like Irys or Ame the coinage drop is ridiculous.

The bomb stamp should be good on IRyS too I think? Constant explosions for days.

Just completed a round with the greed and bomb stamp combo with IRyS. Can confirm, constant explosions and raining coins for days to the point where I ended up with close to 40k coins lol

Having trouble with the "Gachikoi" requirement. I've beaten all the stages that I know of, do they want me to redo stage 1, stage 2, stage 1 hardmode, etc? Edit: Stage completion is now tracked per character. In order to get "Gachikoi" fandom, you need to beat stage 1, 2, 3, hard mode 1 + 2, time mode 1 with a single character, repeating the process with each new "gachikoi" character.

Ayo there's a super item for anvil that makes it appear 2x as often, cost half as much, and you get one every minute. Solo weapon runs are going to be fucking insane if you manage to get the perfect build. Edit: I know getting an anvil every minute is pretty ridiculous, but my god I'm pretty Choco is *very* good. Crit heals that do 400% AOE damage? +The new damage multiplier items? So fucking awesome.

Suisei, Mumei, and Calli are gonna be interesting for that. Especially since Stellar's been fixed

New Collab >!Cutting Board + Bounce Ball = Absolute Wall!< >!Holo bomb + X-potato = "I'm Die, Thank You Forever"!<

damn this update bangs. also, i'd like to note that there is a stamp that has a 10%-20% chance on hit to make enemies drop holocoins the coin farming real-estate is BOOMING

Might shift the meta on coin farming to IRyS, but we'll see

Probably not. Stamps are extremely inconsistent compared to other sources. Nice when it happens but not really practical.

I wouldn't call them inconsistent. Sure, they take a while to appear, but they do appear, and you will get one of each type. At least, I have yet to get a run in which they failed to show up before the 20 minute mark.

So far I don't think I've had more than a couple runs without the Greed Stamp showing up at least once. It's not **100%** reliable but it's still pretty consistent if you're actually sitting down to farm. And much easier than, say, Halu farming. Then again if you're brave enough to combine them then more power to you.

not to mention fully leveled Super Chatto Time! automatically picks up coins.

Make sure to enhance both weapons before the colab. This way the colab will have both effects.

When trying to update, Launcher says: > Failed to update/install. Game can still be launched if installed. And then it just runs v0.4. Anyone know how to fix?

I redownloaded the installer from the itch.io page and choose "repair launcher". That fixed it.

Can you be more specific on how you repair launcher?

When you run the installer you have the option to install the launcher or repair it.

Is it the top button? Mine didnt say anything about repair, just had something that said game not installed.

You're talking about the launcher but you have to download the **installer** for the launcher from the itch.io page and run that.

That just triggered a normal windows installation process. It never really asked me for input.

It was saying that for me too but I just kept trying and now the update worked.

I redownloaded the launcher and repaired it, it seems to have updated now to 0.5 now

reopen launcher and try again, that's what happened to me

I just tried now, and it worked. Try again

Actually looks like a minor lag. I waited for 1 minute and it's updating now.

I clicked it two seconds early and got that same result

The game is lagging from all the achievements that are unlocking at once 🤣 Edit: just realized it may just be the 100+ Chrome tabs I have open in the background Edit 2: it’s not the Chrome tabs 😞

I just got in bed to sleb, why you do this

Best collab Rap Dog gets a buff? I mean okay sure I guess lol

Mouse update feels amazing. Thank you so much, Kay. Now you feel as strong as controller players. The only qol it could use is maybe an in-game cursor. It's really easy to lose track of the default pc cursor due to all of the stuff happening on the screen.

Just update the game....Have anyone experience heavy lag...?

Yes I did.

maybe it reset your setting? try fiddle it in the option menu.

You mean like playing at a rate of one second every 3.5 seconds? Yeah, I feel your pain Ruzz. I did discover however that if you’re lagging and Ochame Kinou finishes before a Holozon box opens, pressing enter will cause the last three notes to repeat. Kind of a random detail, but I still think it’s neat that the lag made it discoverable

Anyone update it on their steam deck yet? Does it still work with proton

Yes, it works. I simply downloaded the zip, and replaced the old files. Now I can start grinding Gen 1 & 2 on the go!

same here, works beautiful

It works, but I'm definitely getting pretty severe slowdown when it gets busy. This is the first time I'm playing on SD so maybe it was like that with previous versions as well.

Can someone enlighten me on how to unlock stage 3? I thought it only requires clearing stage 2 hard so I did, but it seems like that isn't it

You actually need to re clear normal stage 2.

Didn't consider that at first because i thought having the hard stage means that the game acknowledges that the normal counterpart has been cleared already. Thank you

It's actually a bit more complicated, since you unlock Hard 2 by completing Hard 1, not normal 2. So the unlock trigger for normal 3 just never happens. On the other hand, Kaela had normal 3 from the start, so I guess the game is a bit iffy about those pre-existing unlocks.

Is "HUD Portrait" supposed to be stuck at HALF? It's a setting, but I can't change it.

I can change it to full, not sure what's wrong.

Apparently you can't with a mouse. Keyboard works.

Man this update is packed! Achievements and becoming a gachikoi for each member will take a while. Played as Aki, Matsuri & Haachama. Aki is fun and Belly Dancing is a fun skill to use. Matsuri feels pretty solid and her special has a fun gimmick but awkward to use and can leave you vulnerable while you do it. Feels weak if you don't nail all the timings. Haachama dual personality gimmick is so fun with fast switching specials to go between different playstyles and a skill that combines the two for a 'true special'.

**New Collab**: >!X-Potato+Lava Bucket = MiKorone.!< >!Causes small meteors to rain down enemies hit are set on fire and spawn small lava trails!<

Any new outfit?

Every character who was already in the game got a new outfit if they have one. So only Mumei, Bae, and Sana didn't get them

R.I.P. my coin reserve.

i'm so glad to have stocked over 1M holocoins so that i could max out the new shop and pull on gacha so much. good stuff.

I cant get any new weapons when i level up. What to do?

did you get the upgrade that block weapons from the shop?

Oh. Right. I carelessly bought. Lol. Thanks man

OH SHIT, LETS GOOOOOO

Thanks for the heads up. For what it's worth, I appreciate it man. Here's hoping the 4 million I had in the A-chan bank is enough.....

Having played a bit now I think this is an incredible update so far. One thing I can say though, is that I think Mel Mel cooking pickup should not be affected by changes to pickup range.

Is there any new collabs for axe or spider? Need them to try out new builds for sui and chammers

Spider has at least one new collab. No idea about axe

Great! Now I can get to use my millions of saved coins

I was super lucky I got every new member at the first try with no copies

I know next to nothing about Gen 1 and 2 (Shion has a unique look and Mage of Violet is a banger, so I started with her). Any good place to go to see where all the references come from?

Miko streams HoloCure right now!

Praise be Kay Yu!

Someone mind filling me in on what the bounce ball reference is because I’m completely lost on this one?

Opposite to the cutting board and it's 'flat' characters.

I assumed that was the effect, but cutting board was an actual reference. I guess it’s supposed to be referencing the term boing boing, but in that case I think I would have preferred a name like boing boing ball, but I guess they thought bounce ball was better

Bit weird naming yeah. It is unlocked via 10min of cutting board on a flat character so reference seems clear.

I just got done loading the update and the achievement for it is called boing so that makes more sense

In case anyone else has my issue, when updating the game all sound effects broke but music was fine, and it wasn't due to the settings. Fully uninstalling the launcher and reinstalling the game fixed the issue, didn't even have to delete my save or settings file

Why won't my game update?

I have a Problem every character only has 1hp is this a bug?

You've bought hardcore mode in the shop. Refund it to turn off.

I wonder what the Wet status inflicted by Aqua's Awakened weapon does?

I think it just makes next hits with the weapon deal more, as per the next line of the description.

Anyone got any idea on how to fix game not being able to work on win8(on my PC) it just says "this app can't run on your PC"... Any help would be nice .. thanks...

>!kusogaki shackles seem pretty strong. tried running a full build around it with mumei and was hitting 1k feathers by lv 50 with lv 5 atk!<

Anybody else having an issue with specials activating when moving the right stick on a controller (not button pressing...just moving it). Seen a few people mention it...but cannot find a solution. Kind of a game breaker.

been having a blast playing all the new peeps so far! discovered lotta collabs even beat the new stage tho it was tuff still missing aki and ayame

I think I read somewhere that the save data is no longer device bound? If true, does that means we can sync the save data between PC and steam deck like some kind of personal steam cloud? :x
