I saw decondelite and others talk about using imperil with 1H before. I trained imperil on all personas a little and experimented with it, but don't currently use it at all. How does it stack with penetrated armor? I was thinking it might either be redundant (capped at penetrated armor x3) or wouldn't add much further benefit (simply reducing mitigation to zero) outside of helping elemental strikes.
While on the same question, how does the elemental reduction from imperil stack with protection's spike shield?
As for killing monsters, until you are really strong that you can spread your attacks, it's safer to kill them one by one as mentioned. If you play slowly as I do (my turns/second is slow on this setup anyway so no point in rushing) you can spread a little bit such that you always target a stunned monster; in that case you are killing monsters in groups of two or three.
Try to kill celestials and sprites first, these are the guys that hit hardest and also have the least HP (however, the owners of the top celestials and sprites have cranked up their HP). The next priorities are elementals and humans, who also have low HP and strong magical attacks, and daimons who hit hard and have low HP, but at least you can parry them.
The other monsters are about the same so the order of targeting will be determined more by random factors (whoever is stunned or hurt). It's worthy to note that avions suck at everything (weak attacks and low HP) while undeads and dragons are strong at everything.
Save giants and arthropods until the very end, as they hit weakly and have high HP.

they stack indeed (additively, perhaps?) but on the practical side you won't see the combined effect unless you'll hit punch bags like SGs and above. in that case Imperil may help you save a bit of turns. but really not worth the hassle for the average mobs.

Are you supposed to lose TWO stamina for failing a horse puzzle in Arena playthroughs?

Were you doing an RE? It may be possible that the battle you were in was also the 1-out-of-25 battles to tick you down one point of Stamina on its own as well...

No this was an Arena battle. It said "you lose 2 stamina". Something seems amiss here, and it ain't on my end, because it's been many, many puzzles ago since I failed one, far more than 12.

Is it normal to need a Spirit Draught up at all times with a 1h build? I feel like I'm spending an inordinate amount of credits on them.

How much are you using in specific arenas? o.o Maybe spirit shield uses up your spirit too fast with your current level and gear. I usually use 1 to 3 Draughts on the 80+ round arenas. Wait until I get to around 1/3rd of my total spirit then use em. This post has been edited by -Shun-: Oct 1 2017, 05:19

Not using Spirit Shield, just Spirit Stance and Spark of Life (though it's getting to the point where I'm not certain I need that anymore).

Well, i never used SoL. TBH i dont even know how it looks like when it is triggered. SS on the other side, is something i would never relinquis. But i guess because you still have to encounter the point in HV when the monster get serious, you will change your mind, all by yourself.

I didn't play HV about 2 years. Is there any big difference? Is still Niten Ichryu a good battle style?

Welcome back. (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) QUOTE(hyea @ Oct 1 2017, 09:12)  Is there any big difference?
Yeah, i would say a few, but that depends on how you define big differences. But i guess the change of the potions, the prof gain and the need to soulfuse your equipment should qualify. QUOTE(hyea @ Oct 1 2017, 09:12)  Is still Niten Ichryu a good battle style?
I really doubt it was two years ago. At least today you get prof during using it.

I've been playing niten since level 150 and I'm still pretty satisfied with it. Don't know how great it was 2 years ago though This post has been edited by lololo16: Oct 1 2017, 09:35

If you don't slot in the spirit tank and the spirit pots abilities, then it's normal and you should fix that ASAP. If you're just using the spirit stance and manage to spend lots of spirit draughts for each arena, then it means you're either dealing way too little damage, or you're playing your 1H wrong. If Spark of Life gets triggered regularly, time to start thinking about Spirit Shield. Please tell us more about your stats and equipment so we can give you further advice.

currently we are at v0.86. there have been a few big changes indeed, so i suggest you to read the changelogs of the last few patches (starting from either 0.82 or 0.83, depending on what hit at the moment you stopped playing). plus, this is the list of the currently working scripts: https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showtopic=207789(it's the same of wiki's page, but wiki has descriptions) feel free to come here again in case you didn't understand something.

90% of materials, rounded down to the nearest integer. catalysts are permanently burnt though. https://ehwiki.org/wiki/The_Forge#SalvageThis post has been edited by Scremaz: Oct 1 2017, 15:18
