Entropy Effect Character Building Guide
Pre-Run Preparations
Mind Crystals
- +EP upon perfect clearing Elite Enemy
- + Starting EP
- One shop item costs 90% less
The rest of the slots are your choice.
Starting Buffs/Excluded Debuffs
- No damage reward
- Speedrun reward
- Exclude Fewer Rewards Debuff
The rest are your choice, I’d recommend also excluding Afterlife Bomb, Extra Armor, and other annoying debuffs that might make you take damage.
Entropy Setup
You will want to be on 75 Entropy to maximize on getting the best evotype possible. This is due to the bonus EP for selling Tactics and Shop Refreshes that you get. You can do things on lower Entropy, but you won’t end up as strong at the end.
Do not increase Shop Prices, or reduce Shop Selections in Entropy settings. Shops will be your main source of getting upgrades.
Here is an example of a 75 Entropy setup. There is room to change it slightly if you prefer something else.
Retry Exploit
If at any point you take damage, you can pause, return to the main menu, and select your save file again. This allows you to restart the stage over again. This is VERY important to do on every single boss fight if you want to get the most out of your run.
It can be done on normal stages as well if you really want to min-max, but isn’t as important as long as you’re hitting a majority of perfect clears.
Shop Exploit (Only Required For Min-Maxing)
- Alt+F4 to close the game.
- Create a copy of the file.
- Check shop on original file.
- If the shop doesn’t have what you want, quit the main menu. Copy the second file and overwrite the original file with it.
- Repeat as needed.
- After making the first shop purchase, don’t refresh. Close out of the shop and return to the main menu.
- Create a copy of the file, and repeat the same method as before.
At 75+ Entropy, looking for Discount White Tactic is very efficient since you make a huge profit off of it. Make sure to turn off the “Shops have more selections” entropy buff before the run starts if you want to abuse them. Otherwise, higher tier tactics can show up instead. This most likely also works for other stage types too, could be useful if you want a specific Black Market upgrade.
This can also be done in other places, such as Tactic Selections, Events, Sortitios, and Black Markets.
Playing The Run
As long as you have 300+ EP, shops are always your top priority. Shops are the most broken source of upgrades in the entire game at 25-75 Entropy, and this setup is all about maximizing on money to be able to refresh shops and purchase what you need.
This strategy will also work at 25 Entropy, but will be much less effective without the extra benefits you gain at 75. Past 85 Entropy, you’d need to start nerfing shops, so the strategy becomes less effective there.
Make sure to try to perfect clear every boss, including the two extra in the Omega Sector. If you run out of time and die to Susanoo afterwards, it doesn’t matter at all since he doesn’t give you anything. Perfect clearing every boss isn’t required, but the more you do, the stronger your final Evotype will be.
The shop reset exploit is not required in order to get a high amount of Potentials onto a character. However, the amount of Potentials you can gain without it will be extremely luck based.
