The Bad Events
This event has now been reworked so that the “Wave” option will now no longer give the gift.
- Approach
- Obtain EGO gift (White Gosspium) — You really don’t want this gift.
- Wave
- Combat encounter (beat to receive reward below)
- Sinner-up event
- Reach out
- Allies without Wrath affinity take 16 HP damage
- Allies without Wrath affinity receive 5 Burn every start of combat
- Positive EGO gift (Helterfly’s Dream)
- Leave
- Nothing happens
This event is bad because you either get a bad gift while receiving massive drawbacks, or you just leave and this ends up being an empty tile instead of gaining levels or getting better events.
- Forwards
- Party takes 25 HP damage, those with Pride affinity are unaffected
- Positive EGO gift (Lowest Star)
Note: After dealing blunt damage, deal 5 SP damage also – if skill was Pride affinity, deal 3 more SP.
- Backwards
- Sinner Power-Up event
- Party takes 25 HP damage (except for Pride affinity)
- Take your leave. (Nothing happens)
This event EGO gift isn’t that great, who cares about dealing SP damage when you can just kill them instead? While the Sinner Power-Up event is great, depending whether you have a form to recover HP, taking 25 HP as a party can be fatal and leave you in 1-tap stagger range.
Though at least you do have the option to simply avoid this event and leave.
Hell’s Kitchen
Event choices for the Hell’s Kitchen event:
- Chicken’s chicken duh
- Obtain two EGO gifts
- Hot’n Juicy Drumstick (when inflicting burn, apply 5 burn count)
- Dry to the bone (when inflicting rupture, apply 5 rupture count)
- Alert it truthfully
- EGO gift (Contaminated Needle & Thread) (first skill each turn inflicts 1/3 bleed based on the damage the skill dealt)
- Saw nothing
- EGO gift (Tango Marinade) (allies gain Clash Power equal to 1/2 their current speed against enemies with lower speed)
- Subtle hint (50% success rate)
- EGO gift (Sharp Needle & Thread) (first skill used per turn deals 1/2 its damage to the target)
Ending Notes
Best gifts
- Carmilla – Having all human battles have -20% max HP makes the mirror dungeon really easy; enemies can even start off staggered with this gift.
- Phelobotomy Pack – Each skill that deals damage heals you 7.5% missing HP; this allows all your sinners to heal from battles and sustain themselves without the need for healing sites.
- Lithograph – Restore 5% Max HP to lowest HP ally when an enemy is staggered, if the skill used was Gluttony, heal 10% instead. – Also another great healing gift which restores flat max HP to the ally who needs healing the most.
- Rusty Commemorative Coin – This allows single-coin skills to be used twice if they didn’t kill; this works on EGO cards too, which makes this basically another free attack.
- Standard-duty Battery – All skills inflict 3 Rupture – more damage for all sinners; works really well with Gregor.
- Eclipse of Scarlet Moths – 1/2 of skill damage is deal as fixed damage to a random enemy. This has a really powerful bug where the effect carries over to multiple battles. So for example, if you use a powerful EGO card and deal 60 damage; next combat, an enemy will receive 30 damage.
Good gifts
- Homeward – At the start of combat, all allies heal 12% Max HP – can be useful for restoring HP without having to land attacks.
- Child within a Flask – Starting combat with +1 EGO resource is very helpful as it can allow you to instantly prepare certain EGO cards (example, Sinclair)
- Blue Zippo Lighter – This grants more EGO resource each turn – very helpful in helping to spam EGO attacks.
- I have no respect for gifts which require an enemy to die to receive a mediocre effect.
- Also, events which give permanent buffs i.e Speed+ are very helpful for any build.
I wouldn’t put the flower as bad but just inconvenient if you happen to not have bleed focus. The no stagger is mainly an issue on boss abnormality for the most.
If you get your hand on Wound Clerid and/or Little and To-be-naughty Plushie you’ll just wreck everything as the bleed will skyrocket , the flower is meant to be paired with a bleed/status comp.
I got 30 HP and SP heal from watering the tree.
