RPGM Completed Star Knightess Aura [v1.0.2] [aura-dev]

[Thokeus]

OK, I couldn't play the last couple days, and before getting back to it I had a couple of questions (keeping in mind I'm still on my probably doomed purity run).

I think I heard somewhere that it was optimal to do festival of greed by d20. Does this mean finish it on d19, or d20? Also, what does it do?

Something else is that my current idea for my build was to kinda try to have some magic firepower. I was aiming to grab Thunderbolt as quickly as possible, but I'm now getting the impression the "just attack" builds are kinda much stronger? Anyone can give advice there?

so your expecting a triple a title out of a rpg maker game?

I think that was a comment on a review that blasted the game for being a slow burn actually fairly long game with a emphasis on gameplay. I do think it's important to have a proper tag system for hgame given how sometimes it can be hard to know if something is a 2hr game or a 50hr one, but I think SKA actually does tag that?

i actually like this game, so it wasn't me on that comment blasting it. I was being sarcastic to previous poster not serious. As to how long a game is, i think the more you play the better the game is. I wouldn't have spent as many hours on this game trying for save games to share if i didn't like it. As to strong builds, it depends on what route your taking. If you're going straight corruption there's a few factors you have to consider. Like if you have the requisite skills and abilities to make a corrupt build. If you're going purity, then yes magic is a strong build.

Continuing on builds, also enemies have a lot of strengths and weaknesses so finding something that's universal op build is hard. Some enemies are weak to magic, some to physical damage. So my strategy is to find something that works for how i play and stick to it.

That's for an optimized playthrough. I believe you're still working on your first playthrough, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you don't take a ton of optimized decisions leading up to it, you can get stuck during the Festival of Greed event by trying to tackle it too early. The benefits are that some of the NPCs you rescue will give you a few extra items.

Of course, don't wait too long. The story doesn't progress until you finish the event, so most of the world and quests are locked off, and you get a lot more opportunities to get better materials and such once the world opens up. If you're trying for an optimized playthrough, you might just want to follow a walkthrough.

Unless you're trying to min-max, you do want some of both. Some enemies later have insane physical defense but are weaker to magic, and vice versa. But in the early game, especially, physical attacks combined with using Light 1 to get tactical advantage are mostly going to cover it. The game seems designed around giving players lots of options, but you're not expected to learn every single spell and Martial in order to win. Thunderbolt is viable, but there's a spell you can fairly soon called "Lightning sword," which kind of makes it redundant. But there's also a few skills you can't get quite yet that make MAT builds much more viable, and Aura starts stronger with physical attack than magic.

There's also some spells which are just necessary to progress. Like Fire 1 to burn some plants to open paths, there are other places you won't be able to reach without certain spells.

Game needs an Aura-Alicia lesbian path.
