I have to report a small bug, or at least I think so, obviously I could be wrong. "frost bolt B" is supposed to inflict a 5% stack of spell vulnerability but it doesn't seem to do so, I haven't noticed any increase in damage even casting it multiple times on the same enemy
Is the debuff landing on the enemy at all? Like are they getting an icon of some sort on them? Cuz it could be bugged (ex. the spell doesn't actually apply it), I haven't tried it in a while, but it could just be that 5% is too small to make a difference earlygame.
I tried it now at level 35 against metrataton during morning sparring and the only one that appears is the chill stack. I inflicted a stack of 14 chill on her but no other icon appeared and the damage remained unchanged
Discussing Blood Magic in a different game made me wonder if the MC will ever do blood magic here. Sure, it can be super dangerous, little things like "killing you if you aren't careful", but I'm sure with the group he has they'll make sure he is able to use it responsibly, right?? Lessee, Metatron, Sarah, Celica and Aspasia and...uh that's it for "Responsible," Sam, Ashley, and Maya are definitely NOT, and I'm not so sure on Siofra or Ina either... ummm maybe it's better he doesn't learn it? If he's anything like my luck, there will be "it wasn't supposed to do that..." a lot (I have horrid luck).
I do wonder how much of Ashley's rather blatant flirting is "succubus related" and how much is just Ashley. Sarah is a lot more quiet in her flirting and when she does flirt she almost seems surprised, whereas Ashley flirts, flirts some more, and then flirts again just it case it wasn't enough!
You mentioned that Ina doesn't see Kuril or Kanadros as friends, does she view them as mentors or something? Yeah, Kuril's a bodyguard, but you can be bodyguard and friend too. Maybe because it's because she is a princess she doesn't want to admit they are friends?
In that case. I'll play through the demo as a lancer then. That was the second weapon choice I had in mind anyway. Are any other weapons like the fists that have a certain way to build to play them differently like a Strength Spear or something?
Most weapons are pretty straightforward. Several of them (especially the bows and greatsword) have a medium amount of elemental magic abilities that scale on magic.
Tiger martial arts are quite interesting, many skills mention mana usage or have magical effects (like celestial claws) but it is not necessary to invest in the magic skill, will there be a lore explanation for this? on the downside though the damage of the skills is quite low
Hey there! The idea was to have a somewhat mystical flavor without making it too punishing to use. Adding mana costs felt like it would make it awful. The base damage is fairly average (still better than shortbows, lol) but Tiger gets a nice form skill that really helps it spread Bleed everywhere, and traits to help it heal allies with every attack, so you deal decent scaling damage with solid utility for a weapon.
Thanks for the reply man, you made a really nice game. It's true, the ability to do damage while healing yourself and allies is pretty useful, plus the bleeding. Anyway, do you plan to write unique conversations if the MC is a martial artist and talks to Maya and other npc's who use martial arts themselves?
There will be some dialog swaps, but entirely unique conversations for something a small % of players can see would detract from doing conversations most/all players can see, so I wouldn't expect a ton of them.
Maya and Ashley will definitely get some degree of content if you are a martial artist as well, though. I love writing fights and sparring matches, like Sam/Metatron, are a good opportunity.
I wonder if the MC has any relation to Lucifer. Both seem to have some relation to the abyss. Lucifer looks inward herself and finds the abyss, while Astaroth gets 5 Abyssal Corruption at the beginning of the game. Metatron also said Lucifer would be interested in Astaroth.
Mmm... all I can say for now without spoiling things is that you may get a chance to meet her down the road! Interesting theory though, she might have something to do with at least one party member's potential.

Good catch! There was an invisible Bleed requirement that wasn't supposed to be there, fixed for next update.

Is it impossible to start off the game as a Unarmed fighter? I can't even basic attack. At least in the demo.
You need to start with Tiger or Crane martial arts to be a martial artist at the start. I'll add pure strength MA at some point as well.
OH! Okay. Thank you for letting me know. I was hella confused.
It isn't explained super well honestly, don't stress it. I'm still working on getting the class build to explain things a bit better.

Glad you're enjoying it!
