Okay, first playthrough done, have a meme.
The last mission took 2 tries. On the first one I only had Misty and Heixing left against the tankiest destron and they weren't gonna even scratch him, so I cheesed him by running away in circles until he ran out of fuel. On the second try I killed them fairly. 60V is much easier.

How does the ranged/ESP damage from battlemage Pikachu compare to black mage Pikachu?
I've been running him as a black mage but the extra survivability from battlemage is looking appealing for these harder missions. He already does an absurd amount of damage and I haven't actually been using much of the black mage class masteries but rather just lightning, elementalist, and common masteries on him. I don't think I'm going to use many of the battlemage class masteries on him too if I do switch since he's too good at ranged/area damage. I guess I'm just asking if the two extra defense slots are worth giving up the attack and ability slot.

It seems like there could be some fun synergy between Iron Wall + Ranger Heixing (with Cover Move) + bonding.
Especially since some maps are clearly designed to have areas without cover to screw you over. So being able to set up cover anywhere to take full advantage of Cover Move seems like it could be pretty cheesy.
Who should I turn into an iron wall gimp slave though? I'm thinking Leton since he's already pretty tanky and doesn't have anything like Lone Hero to justify not keeping him around other team members.

This might be useful to people here. I was digging in the code to find out whether Nightstalker is really as useless as it sounds, and it turns out the description is just exceptionally incorrect.
What it says:
>The following effects take place if it is Evening, Night or Dark Indoor>If you attack an enemy who is in Hide status when you're in Hide status, the damage you inflict is increased by 100%
What it actually means:
>If you attack an enemy while you're in Hide status at night, your damage is increased by 100%
It's way better than it sounds even if the damage is still pretty conditional.

Pretty much it's an unfair AT manipulator build that feeds the party AT with finales and recovers its own AT when allies kill stuff. Don't play with Body/Mind Unity enabled because he'll become Exhausted in no time.

I wanna try making a blockmaxx Albus build with intent of maximizing the AT reduction from weapon blocking and getting max stacks from opportunist as fast as possible.
The thing is, Albus has high base dodge and a lot of his higher-tier equipable items have dodge in their base stats. On top of that, wind veil increases his dodge against melee attacks even if the other effects it gives would be worth it. And all this is an issue because each attack he dodges is an attack he can't block. So it's a conundrum to minimize dodge and maximize block.
Then there's the issue of getting 100% block, which can either be done through just stacking block masteries and items, or using final resistance and keeping him at low health. Both of these have their upsides and downsides. It would probably be easier to build around final resistance but trying to keep him below 1/3 HP at all times without also being too vulnerable would be annoying.
And this entire build is kinda dumb anyways since most Albus builds are already pretty fast and/or have plenty of AT reduction so making an entire build around weapon blocking is a bit pointless. I just think it would be fun to throw Albus in the middle of a bunch of enemies and have him get a bunch of turns from tanking their attacks.

I achieved one of my longstanding goals of killing Silver when first running this map in a playthrough
Party is level 21, 21, 20 and 17
It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. Silver hurts like fuck and has tons of HP and armour/resistance, but his accuracy is pretty mediocre - around 72% before Still Stance.
Most of his HP was removed by Albus using his wind ESP as a Magic Knight, which did around 300 HP per turn and another 250ish from Forestallment when I triggered Silver's berserker in range of that. Irene does pretty good damage too (around 400 per hit of her fire wheel carriage), because of fire SP boosting her damage, and my one has Fire Bolt for an extra 100 flat whenever she whacked him. The cops mostly just helped with suppression and an initial blind.
The part I thought would be scariest was when Silver's Second Heart activated because there's no way to keep him blind through that, but actually it was trivial because 33% HP is low enough that his AI prioritised trying to run away and heal rather than fight, so he didn't actually attack anyone. If he had, I hoped sitting in the bushes would be good enough to keep his accuracy at a reasonable level.
I got Massiveness for my trouble, but he did drop 16 monster fangs too which is kind of nice.
Since you used to only be able to get catharsis from killing Bianca in the plaza mission prior to DLC1, I was thinking a few days ago about how diabolical it would be if Dandy made it so the only way to obtain a certain mastery was by killing a civilian that had it. Imagine tanking your reputation and failing a bunch of missions just to unlock a single mastery that may not even worth it.

If there's one gripe I have with this game, it's that Dandylion removed the infinite duration of Petrify on this Negoori in the first Draki map.
The way it works now, he'll wake up after a few turns of AT and essentially alert every Draki on the map, turning a nice, tactical violent case into a brutal slaughter for survival. Makes it harder to explore and reach the hidden entrance into the second violent case as well because all of the enemies swarm towards your party at once.

There's actually special dialogue with several of the NPCs and at the start of quest missions if you don't go to Shooter Street until you get all members in your party, at least for base game characters. I don't think it applies to DLC characters since all the quests are base game (I think). The dialogue itself probably isn't anything special other than some additional characterization but it's interesting that Dandylion added it. Like it's neat that Giselle has dialogue at the start of the Yasha hunting missions even if most people are going to be doing those missions long before they get Giselle.
So putting off the quests and going through mission repetition hell could be worth it if you want to see those little easter eggs.

The entire game takes place over a year and a half. Most chapters have a couple months worth of missions in them, but chapters rarely end with the first or last mission of a month (for example, the last 3 maps of Chapter 3 and first 3 maps of Chapter 4 are all November 803 maps)

Another playthrough complete. I played on Hard this time because I feel like it's the most balanced difficulty. Most missions with VHPD units are designed for enemies to just barely be one-shot by the cops, and the Cruel bonus pushes their HP too high for that to happen.
I completed every side mission the instant they unlocked, which was really sketchy for a few violent cases but was an interesting experience. A lot of violent cases unlock while the story missions are still several levels lower than them, so doing them upon unlock often meant I was undermanned for them. It made the story maps really smooth sailing.
I also didn't do any joint drills so I'm still missing a lot of masteries. 60V next, and then it's unlocking stuff time.
Total time played is at 2959.9 hours, and I still fucking love this game.

I do wonder why Misty is a Rogue/Ninja instead of a Rogue/Assassin.
I guess they wanted to introduce at least one entirely new class in the dlc, which is understandable, but from a lore perspective, someone needed to have taught her those ninjutsu, and that certainly wasn't the Assassin Child training facility.
Maybe we'll meet her master in the wilderness of Banished Children.
