I'm on Loop 5 and this is the first time I've gone past Loop 2. By the way, what's the highest loop you guys have been in?
Any general tips on how to deal with Animalistic Chosen? The whole cycling weaknesses thing almost seems like cheating and a pain to get around. My impression of the game is that it rewards keeping damage more or less balanced between the types but how the hell am I supposed to do that when 3/4 of my CIRC attacks are doing 1/10 damage? Am I supposed to just heavily stack EXPO on the other Chosen?
I'm having trouble getting anywhere with the Animalistic one. You can see my roster attached if curious.
I've been going heavy on Negotiation in this campaign and I lucked out extremely well by picking up 2 items:
- Schwerer Guison: Once per loop, the target Chosen at the start of battle will begin with 10k INJU damage.
- Propaganda: When one of the Chosen first becomes a valid target for the Negotiation Distortion, deal 1 billion ANGST to the entire team. Also, on truce days, all active Tier-3 breaks gain 50% Punisher progress.
After I got all my Chosen (see attached) I saw an immediate opportunity. The Animalistic Chosen, Updraft automatically came with prebroken INN. So I used my INJU item to immediately break her CON vulnerabilities and made her eligible for Negotiation on just Day 8. This instantly gave the entire team 1 Billion ANGST and I could deal 29-30 Base Damage to all the Chosen.
However I can't Negotiate with Updraft because she immediately removes ANGST beneath the Negotiation threshold but even then, I'd probably wouldn't Negotiate right away. It would set her ANGST spiraling down to zero and it would take forever to build it back up again.
My plan is to get Updraft to the Billion ANGST threshold, Negotiate with her, then Negotiate with another Chosen to activate my free ANGST item again. However, even with 999M ANGST on Updraft I can't get her to 10K CIRC to do any defiler actions. Hell, I'm struggling to do even 1K. Any insight?
