It won’t use any of them if it’s numbered from my understanding, I believe it only filters when seeing if a character is a variant species and/or if they are in their civilian form or not. CSDev has a better description of how the system works on their Subscribestar so take a look there as well if my answer wasn’t enough,
Parasitism increases whenever a chosen does the “striptease” move. The move when another chosen is surrounded and they are taking EXPO damage.
No worries! and so far I would say it handles non 512x512 images pretty well, I'm rendering my images and trying to keep the width at 512 at least and I don't notice any crazy resizing. iirc remememer CSDev explaining how it works on their subscribestar
I'm Happy to contribute!
Saw this while I was at work sorry for not getting back sooner I just got home.
6. going off the top of my head I will try and list all the stages of friendsip/rivalryNo worries I'm glad to help!!
And I mostly wanted to know who had a minor in Dignity so I could confirm if it was Vassal's minor or not. In which case confidence is her minor and now I know why things went the way it did.
Pain had her t2 dignity broken first before Eidolon's so that's why they are still friends.
What happened between Pain and Vassal a little it more complicated. . .
I can definitely understand the confusion though since the Vassal and Pain were already rivals and you already were on track to get them to hate each other. The problem is that Vassal has two Core's and so that meant she might be going to be connected to one chosen twice, in this case it's Pain.
Since Pain has a minor in Morality I'm guessing since she's the Red personality for your run, That means breaking Vassal's core morality would mean relationship events between those two
but Vassal ALSO has a minor vulnerability in confidence and since that is Pain's core vulnerability that means relationship events based on those as well.
This where my earlier reply comes into play since now you have potentially twice as many relationship events between two chosen and depending if most of them are negative or positive will determine if they will be rivals or friends in the end.
And what determines if the relationship positive or negative depends on two things, the number of positive and negative relationship events that happened before and one more thing if in case I didn't explain before but how broken the minor vulnerabilities before a core vulnerability is broken.
Beside being the damage they start off weakest to, a minor vulnerability can also determine if a relationship event will be positive or negative based on what stage of their of minor vulnerability they are on.
If the core vulnerability is broken and its on the same tier as the minor or lower the chosen will be able to relate to each other and it will be positive.
If the core vulnerability is broken and it passes the minor vulnerability then the chosen won't be able to understand each other and it will be negative. And depending on the difference between the two the chosen with core may even break the other chosen's vulnerability in spite of them not suffering like they do which gives a delicious amount of EE usually.
Ie. If you keep breaking Pain's confidence vulnerability and get her to t3 and you continue to do nothing to Vassal's confidence vulnerabilities then you will be in a interesting event, lets just say one character will have a hard time sitting down in most versions of that event
The last paragraph usually can give you a good sign or not it and a underlined part in it as well iirc!
So with all that said to explain what happened literally-
-You broke Pain's t1 confidence first and since Vassal had no confidence vulnerabilities broken they turned into rivals
-But when you broke Vassal's t1 morality after this battle and after Pain already had her t1 morality broken they turned into uncertain friends as a result.
-You broke Eidolon's t2 dignity and Pain already had her t2 as well broken so they still remained friends
So depending on how you planned on breaking those two vulnerabilities will determine their relationship. If you want them as enemies I would break Vassal's t2 morality first before breaking Pain's t2 morality.
Or I would continue breaking Pain's confidence vulnerabilities as before just make sure hers' is at least one step ahead of Vassal's confidence vulnerabilities which should be easy to since you haven't broken any of Vassals' yet.
With Pain and Eidolon just make sure to break Eidolon's dignity before breaking Pain's dignity vulnerabilities anymore, basically the same advice I brought up with Pain and Vassal
I hope I explained everything lmk if you have more questions about this!
And I will separate this and the reply to your other question with another post since I understand this is already alot of to read hahaha
Speaking of, how do you get girls to be enemies? I've only ever gotten them to be rivals on accident and that's by corrupting one to some degree but leaving another uncorrupted.
As a rule of thumb it is by getting the person who has a core on a type to experience that break before the person with a minor in that type does. Say chosen A has a core in morality while chosen B has a minor in morality. If Chosen B reaches a given tier of morality break first then when chosen A experiences it then the two will bond over there mutual experience and become closer, if on the other hand Chosen A goes through there morality break first then the two would advance towards becoming rivals instead.
I think you need to break a core or significant weakness while the same weakness isn't broken for the others.
Ty for this! I will try out your pack todayAnother character pack featuring Prinz Eugen, both of them. The Chosen version uses Kancolle's Prinz Eugen, and the Forsaken version uses Azur Lane's take on the shipgirl.
Does the generator for Chosen team lineups pick characters outside of the default ones?
CSdev, might I suggest that character presets (costumes, weapons, and perhaps personalities) could be externalized into a file, perhaps in the character's portrait folder so that custom team lineups can be made just by picking them alongside the current customization method. Understandably, it's not a very urgent change and it's a great game so far!
I do have to ask if Forsaken in 'civilian' states are meant to use the Chosen versions of their civilian form as well.
This is how Helena looks as a Forsaken under neutral conditions, which is her Chosen-Civilian-Focus image for example:
This is Helena Forsaken-Focus:

Edit: Illustrious from Azur Lane. These portrait packs are fun to make! I also updated the Helena pack too.
Is it the Helena, Prinz, or Raiden that isn't working?
Pretty much everything you said on Tier 1 breaks is accurate. The only thing I feel I can add, is that each surround action can break 2 different vulnerabilities, and the one that is prioritized is the one with higher circumstance damage, or just whichever one isnt broken yet. There are some nuances that I don't quite know about, and it also seems like you dont actually have to be causing direct damage to a circumstance to get a Tier 1 break. I ended up getting a Chosen to a Tier 1 break in Morality time after time after time, by using Pummel, Caress and Humiliate but not Grind. I was trying to get a Tempted Chosen so I had to keep reloading my save. Through many tests I found that I could get a Morality break on this Chosen by using only Pummel when their INJU was getting really high, but I wasn't doing any HATE damage. So yeah, that's my 2 cents on tier 1 breaks.Saw this while I was at work sorry for not getting back sooner I just got home.
1. T1 breaks happen for a particular chosen if you do an action that gives the potential to reach 10k damage by the end of the surrounding turns that corresponds to that particular action. (I hope that sounds right haha)
Say you surround a chosen for 5 or 6 six turns and use "grind". The description in the game says that grind is tied to two t1 vulnerabilities- Morality (HATE) and Dignity (EXPO)
When you use "grind" the game will check every turn to see if the damage has the potential to reach 10k damage, I could be wrong but on the top of my all head I believe it doesn't matter which as long as the circumstance damage can reach 10k damage but to be safe I will just say in either HATE or EXPO for now.
This check is based on four things mostly-
-The circumstance damage the chosen already has taken in on those areas.
-The multipliers currently active on that chosen in those areas and damage you are doing to her in those areas (this is where minor/core/significant vulnerablities also play a role since they determine initial weaknesses for a chosen to certain damage)
-And finally the remaining turns you are surrounding her.
If the game thinks you can reach 10k damage based on that information then it will trigger a t1 break and iirc the order might be based on either the damage you first chose to inflict on her or it will happen is in order from Morality (HATE) Innocence (PLEA) Confidence (INJU) and Dignity (EXPO). I will double check this later today and edit this based on what is true sorry I'm mostly going off the top of my head.
ie. you surround Reaper for 5 turns and she has a minor vulnerability in Morality (HATE), she already has 1000 HATE and multiplier for her hate is x16. Reaper will go through those four checks we talked about before and if it passes all 4 she will "realize" this and use a selfish action to stop it from getting that bad, triggering either t1 morality or t1 dignity and then the other one whichever one you haven't gotten yet.
Which leads me to try and answer your edited in question of what happened in your game.
If what you said was true and INJU t1 broke then that means her Confidence was broken and not Morality.
In that case it makes more sense since "caress" is tied to 2 vulnerabilities, Pleasure and also Confidence.
tl;dr: the chosen checks every turn they are surrounded and its tied to circumstance damage
2. There are only two permanent relationship stages Unbreakable Friendship(friendly) and Bitter Enemies (rivalry)
3. This question is a bit more open-ended in nature so to try and answer as best as possible. . . Every vulnerabilty break makes a chosen weaker to that associated damage and if that additional weakness makes them easier to surround and longer, then attempt to break a core on them. If you can see it happening in your attempt you have reached where you wanted. If you reload the save a couple of times and it won't work even though you tried everything you can think of. Change your plan and see what you need to do to get it to work. this also might include changing who you're targeting at the moment.
4.Yes they do impact the relationship forming in chosen to relationships. And you can still get a rivalry in my experiences it just might be a bit harder. If you continue breaking core vulnerabilities on the chosen while not breaking the rest of minor ones on the prebroken chosen the relationship will be friendly initially but eventually the relationship will turn negative and basically give you even more EE once that happens.
5.If I'm understanding your question correctly then yes they do compare to each other and if the vulnerablities are the same level or the minor is higher than the core it will be a positive relationship event and if the core is higher than the minor that means the event will be negative. I answered a question dealing with relationship between chosen and gave a more indepth answer below. I will quote in case you want to look at it
6. going off the top of my head I will try and list all the stages of friendsip/rivalry
Bitter Enemies- The Relationship is at the worst possible level and will never get better. Will show up to help the other way later than any other relationship. -2
Rivals- They dislike each other and will want to see the other fail. The downtime events will be mostly them trying to outdo each other. They also will arrive later than usual to help them in battle. -1
Acquaintances - Neutral and where every relationship starts at. Once a relationship progress past this they will never return to this level. 0
Uncertain Friendship - Were rivals before and had some moments to bond (positive events) Can become rivals or progress in friendship depending on the next event.
Solid Friendship- Will arrive earlier to help each other and do more downtime events together.
Unbreakable Friendship- The best possible relationship between chosen and once they reach this it will never worsen. will show up way earlier than other relationship stage.
7. Yes every chosen has a core that correlates to another chosen's minor it all depends on how you planned out breaking them.
I hope I answered most of your questions I putting aside some free time before I start drawing again so I will double check what I said about the t1 to make sure they are accurate for you.
Other than that I hope your run goes well and you learn more about the game!
Basically what Seamonkey and zertyx23 said about the core vulnerabilities!
I was wondering if it was based on higher circumstance damage so your information was really helpful for me also!
It seems to be all packs that have separate images for Civilian and Forsaken, apparently, but only for some emotional states. I already gave them a mention, but I can't comment on the subscribestar because I'm not a member.
