Mikuru is a legendary. All Haruhi characters there are: Ryoko, Mikuru, and Yuki.

yup, and it was also on easy mode.
Maybe a wrong exit on the highway or somth. :3

Seems like everyone is encountering something pretty ridiculous in grindf**k early on. With these mutant peacocks and amphibious sperm whales, all battles are just becoming more difficult in general.

At the moment the arena challenges are too hard for me on normal but way too easy on easy.

Legendaries do show up in the grindfest on easy. It's not really a bug per se, but I'll probably change it. There's a fairly high chance of encountering one (1%), but that will probably be turned down as well.

And right now the peacock and whale have had their spirit power turned down to 0, so they're not harder than the other common monsters.

I actually started finding them alot more balanced with other monsters yesterday. I assumed you had already tweaked them or was I just unlucky after they were originally introduced

I'm running out of things to say nowdays. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Thats as far as I got with a melee-based stat set, 4 superior draughts and Weaken. Done on normal mode.

I can't believe this one. I hadn't made it past 7 before this.

So I recently beat road less travelled. I did it with only 5 item slots 510 hp, 76 mp and character attributes at 30-31. The items i took into battle with me were 2 godly health draught, 1 superior potion, 1 godly mana draught and 1 less mana potion. Got 1 second wind after the second round. I basically weakened the monsters and hacked them to death to preserve mp.

I got to like 6th round at most

I mostly die when I encounter 4 enemies cause I run out of mana and cant finish them melle fast enough [damn Firefox (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)]
My only strategy now is praying for second wind and ocasional use of curative items [I usually pack two curative and one mana]
Anyone noticed that today Curative Draughts effeciency was halved or its just me ?

In the Arena I now finished Sholstastic using one Godly Healing Potion and many Magic Missiles [I want Missile Storm (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)]

A big off topic [just tell me and I delete this part]

Should I learn Inferno ? [and for it do I need max of all preq ?] or there are other good spells on higher ranks so I should save few ability points for later

Yes, you need to max the prereqs.

If you have a few thousand credits to blow on training Ability Points, direct damage magic is great for monsters weak to it. Get an encounter with a Tentacle Monster, Cookie Monster and a Cockatrice and you'll be glad you have Inferno. A single crit can take out monsters your level that might have taken 5 or 6 physical hits.

There really is no need for inferno, also since it has a slower casting time and what not regarding speed of the spell, you'd most likely get attacked by the mob twice before your next turn. And it would only work well where you get attacked by 3 or more monsters all weak against fire. Chances of you getting that often are not likely. Better use those points to upgrade HP tanks and MP tanks.

Cake is for weaklings XD

Normal is for real man [new record Round 8 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ]

and Heroic and up is for that supernaturally gifted men from Hentai flicks (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It looks reall good when you see mage throwing magic missiles from his fingertips while dodging attacks and his magic shield absorbing biggest meanest blows (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I managed to hit round 8 finally a little while ago on normal. Hopefully once equipment is implemented, that should be able to be pushed even further. I'll probably finish up Test of Faith to max out my arena challenges for my level once the new day rolls around in an attempt to score some Second Wind health restores while attempting it since they seem more prevalent during the initial rounds of a new day from my experience.

Spells are for weaklings real men don't need that!

We'll see how quickly you change your tune as you move up in the arena battles. I've developed a good balance of physical attacks with magic with a little bit more of an emphasis on spell casting and I manage to win nearly every battle and every arena attempt.

Yea, what cptkleenex said. The only spell I really invested in is weaken. I don't have cure, shield, silence or those spells available yet otherwise I would invest in those as well.

I do the same, except I don't use items when I need to, and thus die. ^^;;;
