I do kind of feel like Kill la Kill, combined with some Persona 3/4, kind of cover the spectrum of music this game has. Not that Persona 3/4 are Sawano, but when I think about it the late night NLA music IS similar to the dorm music in P3.

I just did a sidequest where
Gerome was on the lower strata in NLA by the water, handcuffed and strapped to a bomb. Rather than diffusing the bomb I told him to jump in the lake to contain the blast. For whatever reason I didn't think he'd actually blow up but he did. Did I miss out on something by doing that? Now whoever strapped that bomb to him is on the loose. Oops!

For Skells? Yeah, it's pretty viable. Outside some super bosses, I'll killed a ton of 70-90 tyrants with just light lvl 50 mechs w/ 400-420 evasion.
The Skell mus be downright untouchable with evasion that high...

For Telethia of Demise, I assume I need ton of accuracy augments? Tried to fight it once and all I saw was missed, missed and missed

You should try doing it, the ending is really something.
i think this might be the last thing i do. just got him and i have a feeling i will need to level the affinity by a lot.

I made the same mistake.
I assumed he was just trying to trick me into releasing the handcuffs
Well, to spoil you on the alternative option,
it's pretty much the same. I chose to disarm the bomb but MC did something wrong, Gerome ran to the lake screaming and got blown up. Although... now that I think about it, there MIGHT have been another choice where you had to decide which wire to cut, and maybe I chose the wrong one.

Wohoo my hard drive started working and my download is continuing.. now.. just 1 more hour. Please don't screw up. please don't screw up
Wait
You're risking playing this game on a corrupted drive? No. Your save is on the drive. Don't risk it.
I remember I killed a Jade Jacule to get it, but I don't remember where they are at all
You need to get the information to how to disarm a bomb from a gossip somewhere at the administrative district. And it's lead to the Manon not dying.

For the most part yeah, however there's always a chance/threat that an attack goes through.
There are quite a few tyrants that laugh at my evasion though.

The outcome I had is that you diffuse the bomb but he dies right after anyways due to eating poisoned pizza.
There's a few tyrants that wiill still hit and kill you even with 500+ evasion. I've had to change gear to get into the 600s to survive certain moves that seem to have considerably higher accuracy values than normal.
One of the most important things, bring a skell with Phoenix weapon (it does AOE damage that will be super helpful for one part of the final battle).
D-did I just spend 500,000 on pizza?!
Oh
This
It's like "oh no 10 weakish enemies who are ann-oh they all died in one phoenix? Moving...on..."

I finally got a full skell squad and coordinated them with CMYK colours. You can bet your ass they're gonna see us flying in from miles away.
Shoot
All my images have spoilers if I take any because of the obvious thing post game
Puge? However you spell them? Sylvaria military bases. The one with 30s for lvl 30 ones, 45s for 50 ones.

I'm so jealous of all these amazing Skells. I'm just now starting Chapter 6. I want my skell!

Hrm
I've been enjoying the Excavator's armor and attack power, but it seems there is another way
How do you even get Evasion that high?
There are post-game support missions that help you raise affinity faster, on the barracks. The lvl 60 affinity support missions gives you a full heart in 2-3 tries.

Ahaha... some of the missions in the Skell License Test quest are just not great. I love collecting several collectibles that are completely randomly given.

It lives again.
Speaking of which, I'm kind of annoyed that my attempt at having Irina cosplay Samus was ruined by the female Yiys removing the shoulderpads, and the Warrior's Plate being open at the back.
Dropping Mitsuda for a random anime composer in the second game of a subseries is the most Xeno thing you can do.
That's easily the most staggeringly unnecessary change made to the localised game, and ranks among the worst cases of content excised in localisation, along with the removal of the alternate route in the first Persona and the gutting of extra modes in Rival Schools. I hope both NoA and 8-4 go under for this.

Also Nopon haters can hate but I love their weapon designs.

I'd prefer it if we had a gun toting Nopon fighting by our sides with them.
I think there was like 3 I had to do. Most of that crap I had already completed long before just by exploring!
It's funny how much side content you do can affects things like this so much in the game. I think it took me 5 minutes to do the Skell License quests.

Only doing the bare minimum to get through the story chapters sounds like an awful, awful way to play this game

I'm not looking to do that. I am looking to not have to look for shit and go straight to it when I'm doing the missions.

For anything sub 60, an evasion rating of 300 is usually good enough to be untouchable.
How to build an untouchable mech: (note some farming required)
1. Go with light mechs, they start with 100. I personally prefer AS150, as their Overdrive adds more evasion, and lowers cooldowns. The default light armor has Evasion IX, which is ok, but you can farm better.
2. Deck your toons in C&C armor once you reach AM5. It has Treasure sensor on it. Each point of TS = +1% chance for any item on a mobs loot table to drop. Cumulative, stacks to 100.
3. Find a Xeno camp with a ton of puges and light skells. I like the camp in Oblivia near Aary Plain with 50-60 mechs, but if it's too strong, you can find some level 40 camps in Sylvalum (the one by the Mech 5 node in the upper left is good)
4. Grind that camp. With the TS gear, you'll be shocked seeing that almost everything drops 1-2 pieces of Skell gear, often yellow if not orange. Hold onto anything with evasion on it.You should be able to farm a near complete set of light mech armor that has evasion + other stuff on it
5. The Vespers at Cleansing Spring in Sylvalum are insta repop (Thanks someone from gamefaqs), making them easy farm for Black Fog Deposits with a Phoenix. Stand in the middle and chain cast. You can make dirt cheap Spec.Eva.V's for armor, and Boost.V's (I think these need some other junk but it's easy to farm) for the frame.
6. Buy the 152 shields from the Vendor that have Eva VI on them (the 152's have evasion up as their aura). Use the black fog deposits to push them to Eva IX.
Assembly.
1. Put on a full set of farmed Yellow Eva armor
2. Put a Spec V eva in all armor slots.
3. Install the 152 shields
4. You can put any weapon you like in for shoulders/back.
5. Pick Sidearms and Spare Weapons that have 1 evasion type on them as minimum.
6. Install 3 Boost.Eva.V.'s in the frame.
7. Start to min/max. Evasion 300 = good enough for level sub level 60 work, Evasion 400 = good enough for most non-super bosses.
- I personally drop one Spec.EvaV for a Spec.HpMax XX (really easy to farm/make, just AOE the pig farms at the xeno camps in Primordia)
- You do want your skells to do some damage, so try to mix in as much other stats as you can. Gold stats = Attribute damage, Crit ups, Position, Hp up. Melee/RAnge attack is trash when it comes to skells. I like to focus on one damage type. Beam, Thermal, Gravity, and Electric are all viable builds.
After you get her, Hope hangs out in Deliverance Park. Keep in mind if a party member is not in a location where you'd expect them to be, this means they have an active heart to heart event going on. Find them in NLA, or advance the time. If the heart to heart event is available any time of the day, you won't be able to have them rejoin your party until you find where they're hanging out elsewhere.
Don't forget putting ____ Drive skills on your ground gear too.
Of note. Evasion will not protect your skells against Spike.
So Spike heavy Tyrants (basically everything end game) will murder you if you rely too heavily on Evasion. Moreover, Stagger, Knockback, and Topple render your Evasion null and many Tyrants have ways or moves that completely get around Evasion in order to inflict a topple.
Luxaar's drop shit thing floating above Sylvalum (giant floating thingy that looks like a space fortress), for instance, has a cannon that will first inflict Topple and then deal 30k+ damage.

I have taken that down, though it was not easy.
Ok, I'm gonna need some help/tips and tricks for this mission I picked up
I'm about level 38 right now (elma and lin are level 37 and alexa is level 32), we all have level 30 mechs but I haven't really gotten around to changing the default weapons and gear they came with.
the mission I need help with is
I got to the point where I now need to find the keys
But yooooo, everything in
has tripwire senses that can detect me from half a hexagon away it seems. I found one of the enemies I was supposed to attack but those flying robot sentries detect me every time and just 5 shot my team.
Maybe I'm just too under leveled and shouldn't even be attempting this. I just don't know but that's the feeling I'm getting.
Please respond ;~;
