@Ronnie21093 Bed would be very nice to sleep in if it just didn't have a coffin. :thonk:

Also fun thing, Remi insisted for years before this chapter came out that she did not sleep in a coffin whenever Reimu would accuse her of such. Technically true since she sleeps on a bed (in a coffin).

@Ronnie21093 Notable that Cirno, without exception, will always open a water-flavored shaved ice stall. :ina_lownod: The idiot is a bit silly.

@Ronnie21093 Well as mentioned the talent tree in the main menu lobby is going to be immensely helpful to clearing runs. Gives you tons of boosts to things like raw stats, allows you to start with scrap for recycling, decrease awakening shard requirement by one, and so on. The character specific talents aren't just a suggestion either, practically mandatory. Some of Alice's for example can increase ammo, decrease overheat buildup, give her bonus stacks of certain items, and reduce the amount of awakening shards she needs to get an awakening (yes that stacks, she needs it because of how many she has). The main menu also has the decoder which allows you to unlock currently 51 additional items for the pool, some of which could be very helpful. A few of your first runs will probably end in failure while you slowly get the Alice Coins needed to keep up.

Other than that there's the Awakenings you get during the run which, as you are now, I presume you didn't get that many of. Those are generally needed to keep the flow going. If you kept going it's possible you could've won, but at the same time intensity increases the longer you play as well. Without a way to keep scaling, say getting tons more helpful items, you'd probably have had it worse. If you want to make the grind easier, Lea is very easy to play and can easily be built around due to only really wanting attack speed.

@Ronnie21093 That's a very unique Alice you've got there. Not sure she's supposed to look like that. :cirno_what2:

Don't feel too bad about losing early on though, the game doesn't really start proper until you get all the talent tree unlocks. Some characters are genuinely unusable without the talents.

@Ronnie21093 Why not? Girls are cuter with guns. :cirno_heh:

@Ronnie21093 >I just need a bunch of stamina drinks, I'll be fine

Reisen might have something to say about that. She's not a doctor's assistant for nothing, she surely wouldn't desire such unhealthy things.

@Ronnie21093 Not going to question why Seiran is covered in blood? Alright. A difficult task, I only hope your body and your stamina proves capable of it.

@Ronnie21093 The term "breed like rabbits" does exist for a reason, and most of these rabbits are pretty dangerous. Got one that's far older and stronger than any other rabbit around, one that's able to control insanity, and then three others (look all of the moon rabbits did serve in the military but what kind of ability is "gains strength by eating dango" or "firing bullets from other dimensions," those aren't really that applicable in this kind of case. Reisen (katakana) doesn't even have an ability).

Anyways, good luck solider.

@Ronnie21093 There's a lot of questionable or silly days. Also less fitting Kokoro day. I think her best day really is on the release date of Hopeless Masquerade since it's also a pun that spells her name.

@Ronnie21093 Going to bring back up the yamabiko population? Good. Kyouko is a very nice girl who really deserves all the love she gets.
