Spirit Conscript?
https://imgchest.com/p/na7konjjwy8
>>98787788I want to run a couple experiments, would anons mind making builds to see if they balance things better?>Experiment 1: Talent DiscountMaking a builds where your talent rating in one aura type provides a discount. This is to make basic techniques cheap, master techniques slightly less ecpensive, and leave legend techniques largely the same.Compare your "G" rating to the rating required for a technique, if you G rating is higher it subtracts it's value from the point cost.Example:Seismic Strike costs 5 poimt to buy.Your build has G3 in Core.Seismic Strike only requires G1.Seismic Strike now only costs 2 points for you.>Experiment 2: Aura Burst ModeKufoku mentions you'll be able to Double your points after completing an Aura Burst campaign, so why not make builds for that?Make a standard build for your freshly summoned conscript, then making Another build for your conscript after completing all their campaign missions.The second build gets build and equipment points equal to their starting "Potential"(45 for talented, 35 for mutated, etc). They get no bonus alterations.Given how the "Prodigy" alteration works,, double these bonus points points for your second build, but equipment points are not doubled.
>spirit conscript, you stink like unfettered ass, you need to get the fuck out of my thread>it's called aura bruh
I try playing spirit conscript, get all my alterations and my eyes just glaze over when it comes to techniques.

>>98787790Wait, forgot lust-provoking image so anons don't skip.Please read survey I am replying to.
>>98787804
>>98787798So you get to the only good part and are anchored by the exhaustion from the bad parts. I understand.
>>98787808>Hot Succubus MaidHmm, what was I supposed to read? I got distracted...
>>98787819
>>98787824
>>98787829
>>98787788>>98787790So if the aura burst is only 108 hours long, wouldn't the best strat be to invest heavily into Eon Reversal and Eon Convelusion so that I can Train in the Aura Burst for as long as I want to maximize my points multiplier?
>>98787836
>>98787819always hated how aesthetics were married to mechanics so i could never make a build that i like in mechanics and the way it looks

>>98787819>>98787824>>98787829Hey DUMBASS, you're supposed to post one page and link to imagechest for cyoa longer than 3 pages.Stop hogging the image limit!
>>98787847
>>98787842this really depends on exactly how extreme the regen is, which we don't knowhowever it has the extra problem of wasting a gigantic fuckton of aura on time fuckeryby pure technicality, it would be better to use spokeless cosmic wheel during the aura burst for getting four trillion years of aura burst (that wouldn't reasonably work either, but try telling anons that)>>98787852 >>98787819yeah! we need more space for our profound lore discussions!yeah
>>98787854
>>98787842At that point just use cosmic wheel on yourself and train for 4.2 trillion years.
>>98787861
>>98787831the real reason aura burst may be shit is because everyone else gets super strong too, yeah, depending on how it actually works (which we don't actually know despite the many different canons of headcanon we've developed) you might find yourself way less important and capable relative to other people
>>98787852>>98787857

So far it seemed like I'd never want to make a build that wasn't in the age of truth, but I think the age of trigram is interesting at least. Getting away from the aura burst may be a good thing. Spirits being the strongest is actually less threatening than a faction war, because their heavy focus on alchemy is way more predictable than the factions doing everything with every affinity.The problem is I just don't like the wheel effigy subplot. What a waste of time, but you still have to do it so someone else doesn't fuck you with it. The same as the fairy star. At least the aura burst is spread out between everyone.And I successfully talked myself back into maining age of truth without any deviation. Great.
>1000 hecking posterinos wasted on some shit cyoanot sure to say if cyoags back or worse than ever (skubwar not counted)
>>98787899I feel profound disgust.
>>98787842Logically eon reversal has to actually just lock you out of all aura regen in the past, because I remember there being items that can fully regen your aura and you would just regain them.

"O"rdion Island CYOA>>98787798I feel the same way. I've tried to make a build four or five times (including this week), but the quantity of techniques puts me off. It's a bit bloated and doesn't feel as essential to my character. In general I find myself less drawn to "spell" sections in any CYOA. I think what it comes down to is that I enjoy imagining my builds or characters as potentially outside a certain epistemology, and physical/practical options are less prone to limiting that than forms of magic>>98787905It's mangled, maimed, breathing>>98787930You have to applaud it. I don't like the escalation of hostilities here but it is always a pleasure to see how anons adapt

>>98787941
>>98787943is this the power of a 4chan pass?
>>98787928>but what about sheilds and armor?There are a lot of unconventional combos for armor.Dragoon lets you basically rocket-jump and whe pair with Green Dragon Crescent it lets you fly at rediculouc speed.Ultima Launcher with that would be hilarious.

>>98787788>>98787950Made another Yakuza inspired by last threads Heavenly Instrument Discussion. Tried to make him viable out of the gate but didn’t want to compromise on certain things especially since even as a core brute I don’t want to be locked out of the best Weapon Links which require G3 Flow. Still that’s a long way off and currently he is a Blind Bludgeon user that can wield 4 invisible flails who’s chains can extend to any length so that the heads of them can go flying at increasing velocities at people and hit with insane force. As a Yakuza he can also sneak his weapon anywhere with the Assassin’s Secret Cupboard.

Let's be honest. Spam anon will read the image limit and everyone will ignore the cyoas he posted in and keep talking about spirit conscript.CYOA spamming to drown discussion doesn't work. It's never worked. It didn't kill overlord. It didn't kill jrpg traitor, it didn't kill OR, it didn't kill entropistIt didn't kill the OR updateAnd it's not going to kill annoying spirit conscript skub.

>>98787974
>>98787928Pretty sure nothing beats Supermassive, Reflection, and Redorection in raw defense.You could probably swap Redirection for Vortex, but idk how useful that is since it's covering your entire body.
Which of the scenarios do you think is the most "default" or "status quo" one though? I feel like the age of trigram may be it, because it's the only one where the seals are locked behind dynasties and stuff, there isn't an event that HAS to change the city like in the other two. Plus, one of the campaigns actually mentions one of the seals of the wheel effigy, while the other two ages don't get mentioned outside of the ages section.
>>98787983You'te probably right that it's the default. There are multiple section talking about the unrivaled power of the trigram and how the overseers can't do much about them, which only makes sense in a Strong spirits, weak dynasty/authorities setting.
>>98787928What happens if you take Implantation with an armorset? Does your skin just Become armor?
>>98787990I assume that exorcists, overseers, etc. fall under the populace and authorities alongside Yama and Yudi. But the logic still stands.
>>98787788Why are we posting Spirit Conscript so much recently? Are we getting an update soon?
>>98787901Get one of the keys to the effigy and put it in your secret cupboard

>>98787995Probably not the best idea anon. Weapons/armor don't benefit from body-enhancing techniques unless you take very specific powers or waste heavenly intrument on the armor.>>98787928You what would be funny? Take gravitation on your armor and watch the enemy float away helplessly after hitting you.
>>98787928Elemental conductor might be cool to give you a shield type armor. Several techniques can do something similar but it could be a good idea for the right build.

The trigram will eventually become my servants, and yama and yudi wont be far behind at that point.
>>98787980Supermassive is usually a waste imo but I could see it being a good idea on a secondary piece of equipment like armor.
>>98787867Anon, That's honestly half the fun. Especially if you take the other setting disrupting events for maximum chaos.You might be less special initially, but your power cap will increase explosively and there'll be so many opportunities to Make yourself special.
>>98787983Maybe but the two prince campaigns that give points feel like the Age of Dyad exclusively but you can take them in any build.
>>98788004It sucks for another reason. It's the time when there's the most misery and the spirits are acting the worst. It's the most dystopic age of all of them, to the point it would make you want to unleash the effigy.

>>98788030He'd basically just be enslaved by her within a week. The problem solves itself.
>>98788028For you anon. I captured the Centennial Avatar and resurrected Yakshanek.
>>98788014Fucking halo energy shields from Elemental Conductor on armor is the coolest idea I've heard so far.
>>98788030>SPIRIT SUBJUGATIONShe gonna be my collared bitch.
I'm making a cyoa about going into a huge castle/tower that has several biomes in it and you need to traverse through several of them before you face the big boss at the end and steal his amulet to make a wish.Do you think it would be more fair/interesting to have the path be determined by dice? Like, roll the dice and see which biomes you will need to fight through with whatever equipment you prepared?Or do you think it would be more interesting if some biomes led to another ones, like if you want to reach the cavern layer with town in it, you need to go through a dungeon full of undead first?
>>98787928Dismantling would make normal weapons simply shatter on an armor.
>>98788041>Do you think it would be more fair/interesting to have the path be determined by dice?Anon, RYOAs are cancer. You lose half your possible audience even suggesting dice. Half the remainder will ignore the dice and pick what they want anyway.Make taking easier paths cost a limited resource so anon have to plan out the journey carefully.
>>98788036>the problem solves itself.>t. vesuba
>>98787928Silent killer for stealth armor (would make that one with a beloved name blessing.
>>98787928WTF happens if you put Twin on an armor?
>>98788057your enemy gets one
>>98788051Combo Dismantling with Explosive and Oni Thunder for the ultimate ragebait armor.
>>98788056Ah yes so when you die in the armor you turn to ash and they cannot rape your corpse... very smart yes...
>>98787928Grappler for well a Grappler
>>98788065Anon, you're thinking of Cremation. Silent Killer makes your weapon/armor silent, it's in the name.
>>98788041The option to roll is always good, but I wouldn't make it the only option. If you go with the biome-biome set, I think the key is to avoid long chains of single "choices" and links one tier at a time rather than one initial choice leading to many others on one track. Don't think I phrased that well at all but hopefully it comes across to you
>>98788065That's cremation anon. I mentioned silent killer because it silences the item which would be cool on a heavy clanky armor.
>>98787928Extension could let your armor retract under your normal closes like an ironman suit.
>>98788064That would be pretty funny
One more Ordion
>>98788036Its clearly his plan from the beginning why else would he have such a massive aura reserve and delicacy he clearly wants to be Vusebas aura slave
>>98788052I don't exactly like RYOAs myself, but I didn't want to dismiss a possibility. So far I've arrived at two possible ways to make things more interesting:1. Picking easier paths does cost more [Points]. So if you avoid all danger you just can't get through the top of the structure at all.2. More dangerous paths award more loot: points/equipment/companions etc. so picking them means you simply have more chances (I suppose in a cyoa it would be more accurate to say tactics and strategies) to get the amulet.Not going all the way to the top may be also a valid ending. You don't get a wish but you make it out without getting killed and with whatever stuff you wanted to grab along the way. I'm sure at least someone will pick this, out of contrarianism if nothing else.
>>98788079
>>98788057Iron Man 3
>>98787928Put Voltage Chain and Icicle chill on it so anyone hitting you gets slowed, paralyzed, and exhausted from contact.
>>98787928Adaptive plus ultima launcher to be the bloody Juggernaut
>>98787928Put terror ward on big clanky armor to effectively give yourself a perpetual fear aura effect.Adaptive would let the armor protection scale with you.

>>98788011If dokurokuro is kofuko, and anon is being an exorcist in the age of trigram where dokurokuro is an exorcism target being an evil fuck, does that mean kofuko created an exorcist to kill himself?
>>98788100
>>98787928Green Dragon Crescent for magical flying armor
>>98788103
>>98788094Slap Severing Shear on it and bodyslam spirits an the First Lucha Libre Exorcist!
Outlineanon
>>98788101All part of his master plan
>>98788069Oh, I didn't mean it as rigid tracks. More akin to:At tier 1, you can enter Caves of Breh, which can can lead to Cave Town of Bweeeeh on level 2. From there you can pick from several other paths etc. At worst it would just branch out and interconnect a la you can get to Cave Town of Bweeeeh and from there you can go to Caverns of Kot, Chasm of Rats or River of Anonworms, but you can't go to Workshops of Greentext. But again, this might end up being needlessly complex. I don't have any particular attachment to this design and may forego any links entirely ans focused on fleshing out the biomes themselves instead.
>>98788101All according to Cake.
Okay, there are a shit ton of great suggestions for armor, but which would anons say are the Best of the Best.Personally, I'm partial to Elemental Conductor, Dragoon, and Green Dragon Crescent for the halo energy shield, flight, and jetpack booster rocket.
>>98788111I figured you didn't, but I had to say something anyway. That sounds good. Unless you're going to make it a central part of the plot though, maybe it's better to leave it open
>>98788107I am, I am
>>98788117Anon's juggernaut/luchador armor is probably the "strongest in raw stats even if it's kind generic >>98788094 >>98788107The maximum ragebate armor is the funniest though >>98788051 >>98788064
>>98788101Well he used vessel transfer so it's highly likely that he added some rcommands on the vessels.
>>98787928If Youdu was an MMO tanks would use vortex to have everything hit them
>>98788094>>98788125The juggernaut build would be better if you added in dismantling instead of severing shear that luchadoranon wants.With dismantling, juggernautanon would be able to just run through any trees, rocks, buildings, or mountains in his way and keep building up speed for ultima launcher to smash shit with.
>>98788133The cyoa would tell us about that, and kofuko is nothing like what we've been told about dokurokuro. The more likely answer is kofuko is a related spirit to dokurokuro, maybe an old minion or friend.
>>98788133the premise is that he has nothing to do with you anymore, and even if he did that you could just get rid of it with another vessel transfer or many other methods
>>98787942Thanks for agreeing with me, shorter descriptions and a more streamlined experience would help SC, imo.I love Ordion Anon's cyoas and this is one of my favorites too
>>98788151Completely different angle and maybe I'm tweaking but SC feels way easier to build than something like OR (for me).
>>98788117Grappler, Ouroboros Chain, and Retraction. You're now the ultimate grappler as your combat armor can tangle people in sticky chains you control at will, wrap them in razor wire to slice them in half, or fired sticky plates on retract them so you can swing around like some insane combination of batman and spiderman.
>>98788139Finally a reason to take Crossing Lunge.
>>98788149Unless it has a command to replicate the command in other vessels or just preventing the vessel from doing such things in the first place. It's at least what I would do if I made vessels.
>>98788125Ragebait armor would be better if you swapped out Seismic Gong instead of Oni Thunder. Unlike other weapon traits, the user isn't given immunity to the Oni Thunder flashbang effect, so it's mainly useful on ranged weapons.With Seismic Gong, any attack the enemy hits you with hit Them for equal force and you can cause AOE attacks just by running and jumping around while Seismic Gong procs aganst the ground.
>>98788168calm down bro, the voices aren't going to hurt you
>>98788133I think the trick is that since he is selling us, the employer requested no commands in us as if we were given secret loyalty they wouldn't be interested in purchasing us.
>>98788117Dragoon, Ultima Launcher, and Green Dragon Crescent. You're now a living supersonic missile that smacks the shit out of anyone unfortunate enough to be in your landing zone. Optimal use would mean jumping into the upper atmospher like elden ring's Phase 2 Radan intron and carving a new valley when you land.
>>98788171Explosive armor would also be cool for movement since you can effective use it to rocket-jump. With Seismic Gong, Explosive, and Dismantling, anywhere you bodyslam is gonna look like it got hit by an air force bombing run.
>>98788146Oh it's totally him."Dokurokuro had a more unorthodox approach… hard to pass by the River Vaitarani each day and not see those innumerable souls as an opportunity, mmm?”“He plucked thousands of these passing souls from the clutches of death, placed them into new bodies and received worship as his compensation. Not a bad strategy, until other Spirits saw the same gold rush that he did and began to slowly siphon away from his supply of worshippers like leeches. He succeeded at hoarding souls for a time, but not forever…”
>>98788041I love RYOA but most anons hate any amount of risk or uncertainty. It is probably best to keep things more linear.
>>98788182Well that would raise another question of if you do not have a command installed to be loyal to the employer instead? Plus if it's standard policy to include a command not to oppose Kofuko then they would buy them anyways. Plus the rulling is pretty vague on these things like what is an upper limit on the command if it can magically sever fingers maybe it can also just brainwash someone and they will keep some of the brainwashing even after a transfer.
>>98788155That's dense as hell too
>>98788174Oh, this is just my plottings on how I would write an evil patron hiding secret clauses into a cyoa, never mention them directly just imply them
