    I've tried that before but it just confuses me. It's very much a "enter in 20 different materials you want" thing and I just wanna know what the highest drop chance is :P

    Lost a 50/50 chance to get Schwarz from Recruitment (Top Operator + Sniper tags). Feels extremely bad, man.

    So this is a new one on me. I used Expedited Plans to wrap up two Recruitments I had going after the failure mentioned above, because I realized they were dumb. One of the two, now open slots? Top Operator + Sniper... again! Instantly tried that one, and actually won the 50/50 this time. Schwarz received!

    Edit: Which also means I don't need to desperately stock up my Yellows for Schwarz anymore, so Leonhardt first time get for me as well.

    I feel like its been months since I've seen a Top Operator tag :confounded: or even a Senior Operator one. :(

    Yeah they've been really rare for me, though I did finally get Top Operator recently after months of not seeing it.

    Child of Light was neat, though I recall it feeling like it ended super abruptly. I might want to go back to it some time and see if I get more out of it than I did.

    Also, seeing her in Bloodstained's 3D is kind of weird to me; Child of Light itself was in this 2D, painting-looking art style.

    Eh, not the extra playable character I was really hoping for there. Unless this is just a bonus (like Bloodless) and still not the promised one, but I think it is.

    I bolded an important part of my post in the quote, it's the 31st there right now, and was at the time made my post. A better rebuttal would've been to point out it was only one hour into 31st in that location at the time of my post (which I now realize now that I'm more awake), or that the news release was made for North American consumption, or something.

    Edit: Received a Kickstarter email about Aurora, saying she's officially the "3rd playable character" from the stretch goals (playable Bloodless is a "Bonus Character"). Guess that settles it for me.

    Some of you really need practice at sussing out April Fools jokes. Like if they said Goku was the new character, okay, that might be a joke. "A character from a mildly well received game from a small team is joining our indy game," doesn't even sound like a joke.

    Anyway, it's cool that we're getting a new playable character, but I'm honestly probably not going to play through Bloodstained again. I haven't played through the game as any of the other extra characters either beyond sampling them for a few minutes.

    Man, the rhyming is what eventually put me off Child of Light. Not the literal rhyming, that was obviously the whole point. But they kept switching the style of rhyming every damn sentence. It really started to make the dialog feel super jerky. Just as I get into the rhythm, they change the rhythm at the drop of a hat. Just couldn't take it anymore.

    Keep in mind that I'm speaking in anger right now.

    I think whoever they had working on Aurora forgot to actually play-test the game on Hard mode and above.
    In Hard Mode (and Nightmare), Zangetsu 2 gains a new ultimate attack where he traps you in a sphere of hanafuda cards and blows it up. There's no avoiding getting caught up in it (except by some kind of glitch I can't seem to reproduce); your only means of surviving this attack in Miriam Mode is to use Final Guard or something similar to make yourself invincible when the attack goes off.

    Aurora has a guard move, but it only blocks physical attacks, not magical ones (and the rotation of the death-sphere ruins your stance anyway). She gets a few pre-set familiars, but none of them produce any kind of shield (and I have the full party from Child of Light by now). I ran across the entire map available to me without beating Gebel, and found no special defensive option. I finally, finally managed to beat Zangetsu by crouching on the opposite side of him from where the attack initiated, which glitched the physics enough that I fell out of it, which I 100% guarantee is not the intended solution.

    So basically, if you're going to play as Aurora, play on Normal mode, because Hard mode is, under normal circumstances, not completeable.

    EDIT: I may have spoken too soon?
    The Rubella (rock guitar demon) summon has a pretty significant heal on it. They might have expected you to float around full health using that summon to keep yourself topped up. If so, that's on me.

    Infernax completed on Classic mode and I got the good ending! There were a couple of really, really annoying jumping areas (having blind jumps down into acid pits is the worst type of level design) but overall I really enjoyed it. If you have Game Pass you should give it a shot!

    The last two seasons spin their wheels a bit, but they really shine in the dialogue, and the epilogue is very sweet(even if it really doesn't mesh well with canon...).

    Actually not true. I can't speak for certain about any character but Miriam but:
    Honestly? Crouch very close next to him when he's firing off the attack. You'll slip right out of the bubble. Like I said, no idea about other characters but if they can crouch I assume it works :P Unless their hitbox is weird or something.

    Edit: Oh, I should have actually read the whole thing. You figured it out :P I don't know if Aurora has a similar move but Dimension Shift was also always the surefire way to escape :P
