Ladies, Gentlemen, Non-Binaries, and Vermin! I am very proud to announce it has been almost an entire month since Inno's last post on Blogspot where she claimed she would have the new update available "very soon" along with saying she would post again a few days once she was sure she would be able to release it.
All of this could have been easily avoided by simply having a roadmap
She has an road map on her blogpost, but she gets side tracked A LOT, we are on version 0.4.9 and the next Lilin encounter would be on 0.5, Elis being resolved was the general plan for 0.4 to 0.5 yet here we are.
Now, as I am once again bored I will rank the backgrounds for shit n giggles.
S TIER: Soldier
Soldier is just incredibly OP, having double attack first turn is monstrous along with it's boost to damage and some health, it's incredibly powerful in literally every stage of the game.
A Tier: Aristocrat, Salaryman.
Aristocrat has 25% damage for ranged weapons and melee along with being able to increase resistance the more corrupted you are, there is a catch of course as it only truly shines once you actually get a good melee weapon, solid but not enough compared to Soldier
The Salaryman has 50% critical power increase which is pretty strong, ofc you NEED to have things that can crit and it doesn't have many bonus compared to the others in the list, but still a pretty good pick.
B Tier: The Chef, Teacher, Student.
I thought ot putting Chef on C but they are pretty good, the shielding of poison is neglectable as many don't use poison weapons but what it really shines on is the double potion limit which can help you trivalize encounters, ofc the others above in this list have a much easier time without prep time.
Teacher can make shit load of money with the triple obedience gain, it trivializes the obedience gain and makes it incredibly easy to farm money, sucks on combat though
Student can be good with the increased arcane bonus, it makes early game bit easier due to the discount bonus, with the perks of arcane you should be at 41 so turning into some specific beings you should be able to easily reach 80 Arcane.
C Tier: Musician, Writer, Athlete, Butler
The Musician is good against anything that aren't mythological beings and capybaras with the increased lust damage, not much to say as physical is far better to kill things with, but it is capable of longer spells too.
Writer is only really good due to the increased 25% spell damage, the experience gain can be easily ignored and you can even morph, use potions, or get tatoos to gain the 25% bonus.
Athlete is a bait, it has an increased 10 physique and 100% chance of escape, ofc Combat is easy as long you aren't on the worst difficulty.
Butler is decent but not good enough, the butler set becomes better, yes but there really isn't much to talk about the butler it is good and the income from slaves if they are working as maids.
D Tier: Construction worker
The construction worker is bait, flames can be easily obtainable once you know what to do so the discount on rooms affects jackshit, but at least it has 5 phsique.
NEET Tier: NEET
The NEET is just... awful, it doesn't really bring anything good to the table outside the well rest bonus which is neglectable at best.
