So uh, any hints or tips on how to beat Jessica's tent OTK?
Using a fire move destroys the tent.
A lot of complaints I'm seeing about Inverted Space or her Tent OTK are fighting her incorrectly. I am concerned that her base ATK/DEF might be slightly high, but her mechanics are very beatable.
Her mechanics are very beatable, true, but you need to figure them out. "Fighting her incorrectly" is kind of what Jessica banks on to win, so you can hardly fault people for not seeing what she has hidden.
Balance can always be changed, although I think Last Laugh is borderline OP
I mean what makes you consider it to be OP? Maybe I've just not seen it.
and Abyss Strap can be quite strong in some circumstances (and its "hidden effect" will apply to more fights in the future).
Uh, wasn't aware it had an hidden effect. Could you tell us how do you trigger it, please?
Duality is indeed a bit dubious so I'm considering having it buff TP from damage taken generally (keeps the masochism theme, but less niche than directional QTEs only).
Could be a good idea, yeah.
(although you can also skip them and use the 3 freebies to jumpstart Last Laugh progression, I suppose.
That's what I did.
You can just take it off if you'd prefer to fight her normally. The stun protection from her panties and boosted MP/TP generation from the hat are pretty nifty in their own right, though.
Well thing is, without his regular equipment my Ethan simply cannot do enough damage to beat Jessica compared to how she at the end of the submission path. Maybe I could try using the Healing Sword to stone-wall her assaults more and grind her health until it's half and she uses Invert Space, but even then it'd require a lot of RNG luck.
If I can offer a suggestion, given that the Jester Set seals off Ethan's fire moves, it would be nice if Jessica taught him some additional purely physical moves he can only uses while wearing his Jester outfit, as part of his training to be her clown-slave.
