Oh god that happened to me as well. And with my shot defense -2, i was getting two shot killed. Not fun at all.

I really like how many differents strats people are trying. Like there is not one strat that is dominating online and everyone is trying it.

I also got killed while using Aries Armor by a Big Missile with an Eye in it, it had insane homing and way too much damage. Heck, it almost 2-shoot killed me when I turned into an angel. What a destructive weapon that was. I think the user also added Slip Shot (Fires throug wall), because I doubt that weapon was a Club

Yeah, every time I go online there's always a guy who destroys me with a some new weapon. Then I kind of want to go and fuse that weapon myself.

I've been trying an Upperdash Arm, but lag seems particularly unfriendly to melee dash attacks. I keep missing what should be perfect hits somehow. Maybe I would have more luck fusing it into a Samurai Blade since its melee dash attack has a bigger hitbox.

 

[Smashkirby]

I do wish that I could instantly get good weapons of things I have to use. I love all the weapons, but it's such a pain having to deal with sub-par weapons because its just so fun to use them all.

And maybe, just maybe, that's the big hook in all of this.

 

[Korosenai]

Sorry I missed the games, guys, but I had a bit of a personal emergency that I needed to sort out. They sounded exciting; I wish I could've been there.

It's all good man, you can join next time.

The matches were pretty intense though. Everyone here has gotten 10x better.

I had trouble keeping up with some people before, now it's even harder.

 

[Doorman]

Some day, I will play with GAF.

And I will be thoroughly, thoroughly destroyed.

You trying to beat it on 9.0?

 

[Sagitario]

Chapter 19 is so long (and kinda repetitive).

You trying to beat it on 9.0?

I tried. I had no idea what the gimmick was going to be. Ended up in 6 or 5, IIRC.

I want to finish Chapter 17 in at least 8.0 (I really want a good Laser Staff), but it's so freaking long and chaotic... I can never make it (I end up in 5).

 

[lazybones18]

Baby steps man

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Frabjous day! Callooh, callay! My prizes finally came in the mail!

The AR cards that I got are:
Pudgy Palm
Treasurefish
Centurion
Remoblam & Remoblamling
Halo Club
Lancer Staff
Magmoo
Predator Cannon
Fire Wyrm
Crusader Blade

The shirt and the perler beads are really awesome too; you can bet that I'll be wearing both of them in the near future.

Also, did you guys get 3DS lanyards? Mine has the PAX 2012 and the Behemoth logos on them. I'm not complaining; but I am curious.

Oh, and by the way, do you think you could post links to our scoreboards, Nub? I want to hang them up around my room as a testament to our greatness

 

[Korosenai]

Glad you got your stuff, Scrafty!

Yea, Gospel and I both got lanyards. And im currently out of town right now, but when i get back ill upload them to an imgur album and post it here for all to see.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention it, but I attended Anime North 2012 (pretty much Canada's biggest anime convention) yesterday, and I saw some pretty sweet Kid Icarus cosplayers. I think I got pictures of a Palutena, a Medusa,

an Amazon Pandora

and a Phosphora. I'll see if I can post them sometime soon.

I've been trying to build a Gaol Blade with 6 range and 6 melee from scratch and was wondering if anyone has any tips on how I should go about it. What sort of abilities should I try to get with it? What is the best place to grind for weapons with good abilities?

For a Gaol Blade, a backdash charge shot modifier is a godsend. You should also consider a shot cancellation bonus and a range boost on the defensive side, since the Gaol Blade's main strategy is to get at mid range and start spamming backdash charge shots to screw with the opponent. Also, if possible, try to add a few harmless negative attributes like Heart Bonus -x or Self Harm, as it increases the chances of you getting better stats on the weapon.

As for grinding, the best places to find good weapons is

Spoiler

Chapter 18

on 9.0, due to its low difficulty and high payoff. Chapters 2, 7, and

Spoiler

14

are also good places to find Gaol Blade components.

If you can, try to go to public events like conventions in order to collect gems for fusing. Just yesterday I recieved 50(!) gems with varying power, including Arlon Orbitars, a Sonic Cannon and a Compact Arm all with 6 stars in both Ranged and Melee. It's a veritable treasure trove!

 

[Korosenai]

The most streetpasses ive gotten in one day was 47 at new york, and i even went to the nintendo store.

Where i live, im lucky to even get one streetpass in an entire day.

Ill probably weapon grind later tonight though. I need something to fall back on if my magnus club isnt working out for me, because right now i have nothing. I really want a good pair of pandora claws with high range, so ill work on that for now.

Is it worth investing in stamina and defence atributes?

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Is it worth investing in stamina and defence atributes?

You can give yourself more stamina with several different powers, so I wouldn't waste time trying to do that. Defense might be nice depending on your playstyle, but once again, there are powers that do the same thing far more reliably.

Tirelessness and ares armor comes to mind for those two things.

Shit...

Running out of room for more Streetpass/Spotpass gems >_< (12 spots left)

Only have 118k hearts

Better to fuse and get two powerful weapons which would leave me with about 1k hearts?

Or convert as many gems into weapons as possible?

 

[Korosenai]

Just fuse weapons that you are certain will create powerful weapons, then convert the rest to hearts.

Huh,, I just got a power that changes the background music to anything else at random. I had Gaol's theme in Ch 1 land section. What an odd Power..

Welp, apparently life hates me. I just went to upload the pictures only to find that the image files are corrupted along with my entire SD card. Words cannot express my feelings at this time.

That makes way too much sense.

Who did you go as?

I went as Vergil from Devil May Cry 3. I don't mean to sing my own praise, but my costume was pretty darn good. As a result, I had ~11 pictures of me taken over the course of the day.

 

[Korosenai]

Sounds like you had your swag turned all the way up, but if you go next year you should definitely do two things:

1. Go as Hades

2. Practice his lines

And wasnt that chet rippo that did the phosphora drawing? What page was it posted on?

Haha, I'll definitely do both of those things for next time. As for the drawing; it was indeed done by Chet Rippo. Here it is:

[Korosenai]

Its really weird, because at first I really did not like Phosphora. I dont even know why, i just didnt like her character and she seemed bland at first. But then seeing everyone on here talking about her and discussing her, it finally clicked. Her character design is very simple, perfect, and to the point. Its kind of hard to explain really.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I love Arlon Orbitars and Beam Claws, but I also love the Laser Staff and I don't know if it's worth to lose them both for the staff.

 

[mooooose]

I've got a really good pair of Beam Claws that I want to make stronger (ie do more damage). Their range is amazing, I can shoot from 40m away or whatever. But if they were even stronger, that would be ideal. How do I do that through fusing.

 

[Korosenai]

Guys... can you help me to choose a weapon, please?

That laser staff does have good stats, but hold out until you can get one with at least 4 or 5 stars range. Those are also good arlon orbiters, so if i was you id keep those for now.

Let's try this again.

I'm looking for a list of all of the weapons you need to unlock on the treasure grid and can't find/fuse until you've fulfilled the requirements. The GameFAQs list is horrible at differentiating between weapon unlocks and just weapons you're rewarded with. I think every other guide on the goddamn internet just copies and pastes the information from the cheat section on GameFAQs because they're all useless.

Does anyone have an actual accurate list of weapons you need to unlock?
