    Rules:
    - This is a low level run of zombero's hardtype mod: www.romhacking.net/hacks/3299/
    - The aim is to keep XP gain as low as possible without affecting my sanity.
    - Hard mode, obviously
    - No stat boosting items
    - All other game mechanics are fair game!
    Hardtype changes:
    - HP: 2400 → 4800
    - Crit rate of Rebellion and E & I greatly increased and both skills seem to be 100% accurate
    - E & I now lowers defence/evasion
    What an obnoxious fucker Dante is now. He crits for days, has twice as much HP, and never seems to whiff a move (besides his basic attack, which he almost never uses). Since he's critspamming us, it seems only right to respond in kind. Dark Might is our best attacking option here, giving lots of extra press turns when it triggers and having no HP cost. Deathtouch on everything is equally essential, as Media just won't cut it for healing.
    Choronzon and Blob are solid allies for this since they're both able to tank 2 Rebellion crits at +2 defence and even survive 1 in the Provoke phase. Unfortunately there is no good option for a 4th member, so a level 10 Slime and a level 9 Wisp are the best we can do. They need at least 90 HP, more agility than the Demi-Fiend, and Patra in case he gets panicked by Bullet Time. It was pretty easy to make the Wisp once I made the Slime since they're meant to be interchangeable - I just had to do a rank down fusion with an elemental.
    We have to take advantage of enemy buff scripting again, because we can't be taking 4 Rebellions every round. It's essential to keep a debuff on Dante at all times to encourage him to waste a turn on Holy Star. As with Matador, this isn't guaranteed but works 80-90% of the time. After you knock him into the 2nd phase, he'll stop using Holy Star altogether and prioritise Provoke as long as none of your party are at -4 defence, so I debuff him to the max and make sure to cast Rakukaja every round.
    The Provoke phase is scary since we don't have access to Dekunda or the gems for the new Dekunda Rock item, but there is at least something I can do for the team's flimsiet members. Switching between Slime and Will o' Wisp is essentially a free Dekunda for them, and if I swap them out every round and cast Rakukaja, they only ever take hits at -1 defence, which means none of Dante's attacks can OHKO them. Of course everyone is vulnerable to a 2HKO in this phase, and there are plenty of close calls, but ultimately I make it out remarkably unscathed. That said, if demons had started dying towards the end, I had plenty more glass cannon attackers in the wings for a last ditch bum rush.

    - DDS Demi-Fiend aside, this fight may be the single dumbest SMT related thing I've attempted thus far (LL DDS2 Vishnu/Seth could trump it when I get round to it)
    - 5:49 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
    - I thought the demon switching thing in the second phase was pretty nifty. It was cool that part of the solution to hardtype Dante lay in a hardtype-specific mechanic.
    - Once again, that was quite the YOLO ending, if that final blow hadn't killed him no doubt he would've cast Holy Star and immediately one-shot Demi. So yeah, I should've really cast Rakukaja, but I got overexcited.
    - I used all my Bead Chains here which is a little scary, kinda feel like I should've farmed some more Aquamarines while I was in the Amala Network. Hopefully Media will suffice for a while.

    Spam those E&I and Bullet-Time, besides the Rebellion C4 combo for critical fest... Dante loves it. It's almost like a reminiscence back in DMC2 where you can just use your pistols to mow down your targets whenever he choose to do E&I or Bullet-Time. And really, seeing him able to Provoke in Nocturne and see the Holy Star animation... I jealous that they didn't exist in DMC2 to see and perform... Damn you!!
    Man oh maaaaannnn... Whenever I see Dante achieved Criticals with either Rebellion or E&I in this video on Demi-Fiend or his demon parties, I just laugh and giggle because it's so good. 4 criticals in a row... *Satisfying*
    I wish Matthew Kaminsky actually return to voice Dante DMC2 for Nocturne HD... I mean, I would like for Rueben Langdon to do it, yeah... But for aesthetic and self-satisfaction, I choose Matthew Kaminsky. But that's just me daydreaming.
    "Dante rip-off vs. the real Dante from DMC2." Love it, and play that great Dante Battle theme that is a reminiscence from his DMC2 battle themes.

    • @JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe
      @JimReaperSaysUnsubscribe  3 года назад +3

      The uber pixie actually comes from the first demon in your roster (Blob atm, but I'll fuse it many more times) so the High Pixie is not the OG Pixie. The reason I'm keeping her around is to learn the Lucky Find skill, which I can hopefully abuse for rare items and gems.

I thought that High Pixie is the first Pixie that evolved, then you might show once reached the 5th Kalpa, to the place where she turn into Uber/Super Pixie. Now that you said it's not, no biggie.
