... cumulative round bonuses ...

? Isn't that only for grindfest?

one of the big sucker punches is that it also as far as I know difficulty does not adjust the ratios of restoratives to other, so 50-90% of the time (depending on the arena level) you still get a potion regardless of the difficulty, and with elixirs moved the best you could possibly do is a godly potion even on battletoads.

If it is, that's a good place to start making changes.

That needs to be changed too. Either the base chance for specials and other needs be increased and common consumables decreased, or idk. But as is, the thrill of winning is now gone. There's this nice little feeling after you've plowed your way through 30 rounds on hard or 25 rounds on heroic, and fought a boss, and then find some kickass piece of equipment (or at least something decent) or a soul stone or something. Not a superior health draught. That just kills it.

Nice recod on Heroic:

Exile cleared. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Ten godly mana draughts were used. I don't think I'll try it too many times since it's not very rewarding to clear it repeatedly with reward being so little.

God i must be doing something wrong i can hardly clear dreamfall with 5 health elixirs+ 5 godla mana draughts+2 mana elixir, and im a few lvl above you too.

A shield with high block chance kind of helps. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Uhh... I think you are. Even at my worst of times, my main issue with Exile was not running out of mana, but just not paying attention to my health as I got bashed to death by 4 mini-bosses at a time. I cleared it today with 6 superior mana draughts.


Feast For Crows Cleared!

65 9 You gain 20279 Credits!
65 8 You gain 14252.29 EXP!
65 7 Your HP and MP have been fully restored!
65 6 Arena Token Bonus! Received:
[Token of Healing]
65 5 Arena Clear Bonus! Received:
[Godly Mana Potion]
65 4 White Bunneh dropped [Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch]
65 3 You are Victorious!

Sucky reward, but I'm happy with how it turned out anyway since I used 6 godly mana draughts, but I had ZERO 2nd winds, either hp or mp, between rounds 30-45, so I think generally I won't need even that. A major thing (that's obvious but you forget) is that doing up to Longest Journey or Dreamfall on hard difficulty makes doing the next arena on normal seem a lot easier than it used to lol. I breezed through exile and aside from my lack of 2nd winds, had much less trouble then I expected with Feast For Crows.

I also went from using 3 plate and 2 cloth to 2 plate and 3 cloth. This happened by accident, and I'm thankful for it. I was using the latter setup to do ring of blood fights so I'd have less interference and burden, and I forgot to switch back. I've been having a much easier time ever since.

288 2 Mikuru Asahina has been defeated.

I was beginning to think I'd never get the other Token I needed to challenge her, but one finally turned up today.

She had 61965HP, pretty much what I'd been led to expect (thanks again guys). Items used: 4 Mana Elixirs, 3 Spirit Elixirs. Which is fine, as I have no other use for such powerful items. Actually I only got four decent Spirit attacks out of those Elixirs - you'd think a 20% chance of Penetrated Armor for three turns would give good odds of it being in effect when I needed to take the first shot (ie after 4 or 5 turns of recharging), but not today.

I'm going to hold on to the Bunny-Girl Costume for a bit, not because I'm some kind of pervert but in case something bad happens to all my high level equipment when 0.4 comes out...

Ryouko Asakura cleared. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Six godly mana draughts used.

367 3 You are Victorious!

I'll probably try Real Life soon. What's a good strategy to beat Real Life?

Bring elixirs. Don't use heavy armor.

I was a bit cocky on my first go and brought only godly mana draughts, and ended up dying 10 hits away from victory. Other than armor, theres no real different strategy needed as long as you already have a solid legendary killing method you're confident in. Real Life is exactly the same as every other legendary you face, just with more hp and higher damage, and its regular attack type is spirit so heavy armor is worth pretty much jack all against it.

I would've been fine with godly draughts if I hadn't done it on hard. 530,000HP was just too much ;_;

Then again, I had him stunned a lot.

I like your weapon combo better than even hito's set. Its kinda unfair to use yourself as a standard anymore. lol.

Killzone Cleared!

Today I finally Beaten Blazing Field
Lvl 31
Used magic almost exclusively during whole battle
Had a luck for 2 MP Second Winds and 1 HP Second Wind
Used
1x Godly Health Draught
1x Godly Health Potion [In final round so I was able to cast during whole duration with lesser chance to be instant wiped (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)]
1x Superior Mana Draught

And also [not used in the end]
1x Godly Mana Draught, 1x Godly Mana Potion

I used all AOE and Single Target spells maxed aviable to my lvl [With exception of poison]

Now I feel like real mage (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) [My HP goes down rapidly but theyrs too]

Praise the tenboro for powering up our elemental magics [not really but with this mana cost it is posible to use it even in long arenas and win (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)]

Power Flux cleared.

Items used: 3 Godly Mana Potions, 2 Godly Mana Draughts. Didn't need to touch the two Elixirs I brought along.

I was wondering how the 0.4 changes would affect my chances, but it looks as though they've made things significantly easier overall. (Apocalypse Soon was harder when I did it at level 70.) Yay for reduced AoE cost.

BTW there are about three times as many mini-bosses in this one as the Wiki says. I'd better update it...

The wiki is wrong for a whole bunch of the latter arenas.

Bob would be pissed. The clear bonus on Endgame was... you guessed it. An Average Cloth Robe.

Wow, what kind of consumables do you need to beat Endgame like that...
