How did I ever play this game without Winged Boots? The difference in movement is amazing. Suddenly Hard Brauner on solo is no longer about hoping he doesn’t summon the poison roller demon things; you don’t need perfect backdashes to avoid poison anymore.
I imagine Dr. B has Winged Boots built into his genetic material, and that he has to avoid wearing an actual pair of them, lest he exist everywhere… and nowhere.
Yea winged boots are great. That with a berzerker mail on is like a walk through the park with any character (except charlotte, she can’t equip it sadly). Though it does make other party members feel bored because they are just playing keep up.
Shanoa doesn’t seem too bad damage wise. Well honestly I use berzerker mail and on drac’s last form I do like 56 and each double reppuken wave does 5-6 hits. Usually kills him after he tries one move. As long as I don’t get hit by charm (if he does it) it’s really easy. Though I wanna configure her somehow to kill him before the first spell like my alucard (double megs help but don’t get me there). On death each lapiste hit does 126 so that is 252 each jump. I think death only has around 2k-3k hp or something because if he does the red spirit circle he usually dies or is close to dying after he get out of it.
I wanna test some jonathan stuff but my brother is in the process of leveling him up (only halfway there). The most I’ve seen a jonathan do is 50 a shuriken so thats around 250 a throw. I wanna see the damage output of jonathan because I still need simon’s plate and see what’s his easiest option against dracula’s 3rd form is. Though if you guys have a maxed jonathan I wanna see some damage numbers. Doing a Shoryuken on dracula feels great.
What is with the Dr. B obsession?
Dr. B is not an obsession. He is a lifestyle.
My Jonathan is almost maxed Everything is lvl 8 at the moment. Level 9 takes forever. When I get a survival grind partner and my chest piece I’ll let you know the numbers.
I don’t think anything will ever kill Drac as Alucard with two Yasuts. I might feel differently if my Soma ever gets another Valmenway but Alucard is fucking beast mode considering he is probably the easiest character to max out. 2 hours with some purple chests in ch 5 and Dracula runs start lasting 5 minutes or less.
Can’t wait till my Jonathan and Shanoa are finished however. Games DLC needs to come out yesturday!
Just got Shanoa Falcon Pawnch!
Pneuma eludes me the way I elude all attempts in this thread to justify my devotion to Dr. B, the one true god.
I heard Dr. B commenting on a few streams he’s a funny guy and all but that poster’s devotion to him is a bit disturbing.
I’ll help you with the survival grind later today at around 7 PM EST, since I wanna see Jonathan at his brokenest.
Specs? He’s mocking Dr. B, actually. Been doing it for years, now. 
Clobbering Time Fist?
I really wish I could get l-word weapon. I love that you can’t get Pneuma but I can’t get lapa-whatever-it’s-called.
After over a hundred Dracula runs finally got my second Valmanway along with every other 5 star item he drops. I don’t even know what to do with myself anymore. My life no longer has purpose.
Till the pyramid level comes out…
Cryoh: All help is mad appreciated.
FurryCurry: I think the fist drops in Ch 3-4 Can probably do some Ch 4 runs for you whenever you’re free. Not promising high success rates though I tend to get steamrolled by large green pinwheels as you probably saw when I was running you through the first time haha.
Alphaqsilly: Man I’ve ran Drac 200+ times and I still don’t have my 2nd Valmanway. I’ve got 4 sets of Winged Boots and 3 drac tunics and enough foie gras to throw a fancy party. That drop rate is ass. Congratulations though.
I got the Lapiste from Ch. 4 normal and the Pneuma from Ch. 5 normal. Drop rates were pretty shitty, though. I still need to get pretty much all rare boss drops that aren’t Valmanway or Ancient Armor.
One question. Does Luck affect spell absorption chance rate with Charlotte? And if so, where do you get the Thief Ring from?
Fastest way to grind for fist/wind is team with a Soma and do stage 4 runs. I can clear that on hard in like 50 seconds.
If you are solo, quickest way is probably death normal, which you can finish in about 2:45 or less.
Folks are saying luck helps, and thief ring drops from puppet master.
Just a warning to anyone who wants to max Jonathan it takes a while…been at it since 3pm and I’m only 6/12 and I started with all of my weapons at lvl 8.
Expect to spend more than 1 day.
Oh shit, I knew that it took a while to go from 6 to 7, but I didn’t realize that 8 to 9 was that bad.
7/12 and I think I’m done for the day or rest of the week.
The Bible is probably the most discouraging thing to level. Even with survival mode and a bunch of tricks. It took about an hour or more.
To compare it with other sub weapons my friend leveled grenade and wrecking ball to max and did halfway of 9 with Holy Water…while I sat around spamming bible. Needless to say he’s 10/12 If you’re gonna level that stupid sub-weapon I strongly suggest to do it last.
Just to make sure, since I’m pretty certain that you’re already doing it, you’re cancelling each activation of Bible with backdash, yes? If so, then ugh.
