Hit a rather nasty series of some extraordinarily incandescent hits.

The next goal is to reach lv500

I had hoped to complete more arenas on Nintendo, but I definitely have noticed the difficulty scale up (Just reached level 201) and find myself doing everything on Hell now so I don't get one-shot and frustratedly fail out.

I know there are spells to mitigate this and other ways to make Nintendo more passable, but the tl:dr is that I've got to level up my own game and utilize more of the resources if I want to accomplish these goals.

Thanks for the thread mate!

Level 500 and a ponyslaying spree is about all that's left at this point.

Level 420, nice

Finally, my first PL 2250 monster. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

Obviously, I don't intend to have another one so soon. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif) Too expensive. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif)

You gain 6,061,640,009 EXP, 463 Credits!

Congratulations on Choujikuu Yousai Macross! It's a great name for a #1 monster, and I wonder how long it will be before Uchuu Senkan Yamato also reaches PL 2250 hehe! I remembered you had this name from before, because I also made a Space Battleship Yamato, although now I am not using it so the name is open again.

Checking the database, it looks like all your monsters are named after animes, using mostly Japanese romanization. (Your rules for choosing western or Japanese version are complex, yet I can see that you are consistent). However, I don't think you have a single one of my Top 5~10 animes haha. Unless you have Toradora. I bought the blu-rays a decade ago but have yet to watch Cross Ange (someone here said it was the #1 best anime of all time, and I'm always especially interested to watch anyone's #1 best). Somebody has Code Geass, is that you too?

Aside from Toradora, the rest of my Top 5~10 anime names are actually not taken, although you have scared me with other monster names I see in your database, as they are really close (like Cross Ange and Code Geass, who I think are friends with each other). So you helped me choose the <secret> name of my newest monster yesterday, as I had been struggling with it. Like you I try to balance my monster species, and I have a harder time choosing names for things like Arthropod.

Aside from my Sxxxxxxx Swimsuit Girl series (which will continue if I make enough monsters) I have been making the rest of my monsters named after characters.

The good thing about Macross is that it's both the name of the show and the name of a character (or mecha). I also like the traditional old-school anime naming convention of 3 words put together. Like Mamono Hunter Youko, hmm now I feel like I should take Devil Hunter Yohko but I need to make way more monsters first. I hope I don't end up feeling compelled to make more than 4~5 of these. Usually these characters have last names, so if you use the title version you aren't using the full name. The first one of this series that I just made, the character's full real name is not revealed, so it works perfectly.

Another funny thing is that your Macross is hard to knock off with the western name, because Super Dimension Fortress Macross is too long to fit. Well I guess SuperDimensionFortress Macross is not bad.

I haven't fought Choujikuu Yousai Macross yet, maybe the monster database does not update immediately.

I also died unexpectedly in late rounds of a Tower floor this or last season, I forget which. Wasn't 100% sure mine was due to the Spark of Life 1 HP issue. In my case, I could have avoided it by playing more cautiously and sparking less often on the late rounds, so after that I started playing more cautiously in late rounds.

I wasn't using Spirit Shield (I usually still don't in Tower) and relying on rapid re-Sparking. So in my case, the last digit of HP ending in 1 would not have mattered, since that sub-phenomena needs Spirit Shield to be used also. I might have ran out of MP though.

Actually, I've never been convinced of the max HP ending in 1 theory (I only fully believe in the Spark of Life 1 HP root reason since that is openly stated to be the cause). For multiple reasons, some of which are just vague to me and I just don't really understand it.

Aren't you required to take 5 hits of max Spirit Shield damage (20%) to die from the "max HP ending in 1" theory? Your log shows 6 hits from Spirit Shield and none of them are maxed whoppers. So I would say you died only from the Spark of Life 1 HP phenomena, not related to your max HP digit ending in 1. Whoops nevermind, you only need to trigger Spirit Shield 5 times, not max out the spirit drain. And the 6th trigger in your log is the 1 HP killing blow, I see.

Another reason I've never been convinced of the max HP ending in 1 theory is that, at least for your damage, it doesn't increase according to your levels. It actually increases in smaller and lesser increments than that, via your Proficiencies. (I had confirmed this years ago, on the side, by actually studying damages in battle logs, though my damage tests were for other purposes. Your damages grow during runs in smaller increments than full level ups). Max HP is likely the same, since I think there are Proficiencies affecting that too.

I died to this last season. I had an old tab open so I know I had 20315 HP before entering but afterwards I had 20316. Also I know from my death tracker that I had full HP and SP on the turn before.

I now treat 0 and 5 as death numbers just like 1 and 6. Also note that

New to the game, couldnt decide which mode to main,

so I had both my characters from OG and Isekai pump up to level 100!

Now i'm burnt out

maxing all training

Yep this only happens consistently because of Spirit Shield and the amount of damage tower monsters can deal to us, but can happen in Grindfest too at later rounds, like past 700-800 or so. Even then if you get unlucky and your damage happens to end in 1 even without SS or the specific ending HP digits you still die instantly so death lurks around the corner, as I'm pretty sure I also have died spontaneously with no other explanation 1 or 2 times before.

Well, everything is tied together for HP anyways, leveling up lets you break through the prof cap and get more profs and those come from EXP so by playing the tower you can change your HP whether you level up or not, but level ups make it messier and harder to play around unless you are actively monitoring your exp gain per round.
I remember in the first isekai season I had to plan in many ways before even attempting a floor to be extra safe, like forging END in equips to adjust the HP, or soulbinding them, trying to get as close to 0 percent of level up progress, or even starting a floor at HP ending in 4-5 or 9-0 to face the "dangerous HP phase" around round 100, so you could get to round 300 without problem. Man did that tower suck when looking back on it.

300 posts : ).

Rolled some vouchers - now I'm proud owner of two PFRSD. Now all I have to wait is dual staff wielding and SGs getting no elemental resist. Aaaany day now (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

So close to Lv 400
