Be warned 10k defeated enemies is a grind and half.

[JustOneStingray]

If you have played fairy fencer F it is the same level of ridiculous. If you kill the majority of enemies you see in game on the way to the end you will get around 1-1.4k leaving you with 9k to make up. Fastest way is the coliseum rank F3. Has 15 mobs over 3 fights. I am currently using uni and can defeat them without issue by spamming power attacks. Everything will be dead before she runs out of AP and you don't have to move just spam X. Issue is that this is the fastest you can clear mobs. Dungeons are far slower so here is how long 10k will take. Assuming these things die in 1 shot, as they should if you are at this point, to kill all 15 mobs with the loading screens in between on ps5 will take 78 seconds. From initiation of the fight to re initiation of the next set. Assuming that by the time you get to this point you have 9k left that is 600 rounds of level F3 or in terms of time 13 hours of straight running that level. Have a second screen handy to watch something for this one.

Typo, F3 not F4

Thanks for the heads up. It will be a long time before I make it to Sisters vs Sisters, since I intend to play everything before it first.

 

Question: Is it possible to use a turbo controller for that grind? My only Coliseum experience so far is mk2, where a turbo controller would not work, but perhaps several games later things have changed.

I appreciate the warning, but it doesn't make much of a difference to me; I'd still go for the trophy even if it required 100k enemies defeated (but also complain a lot). Regardless, these kinds of trophies are annoying. I can only imagine that they are handled by staff who are clueless about how the game actually works. That, or they just throw out random numbers not based on any logic whatsoever. I suppose it's not all that uncommon with this series, as earning 100 million credits in Re;Birth 1 is a similarly pointless trophy.

Probably not as after you get spit out you have to talk to the receptionist with square and then select a stage and confirm which take different up down inputs as well as the accept input being X and not square..

Figured as much. Thank you for letting us know. It won't stop me from playing the game, so I'll just ready myself for the grind when the time comes.

When I did it, I was able to get turbo working multiple times (thanks, game crashing mid-turbo ;_;) by holding the left stick up and turboing both square and cross. Left stick up handles up/down inputs due to wrap-around on menus as well as the bit of walking up to the receptionist you have to do per battle while turboing square and cross handles all of the inputs for you. This forces you to do the F4 battle over and over again, which is slightly slower at 14 enemies instead of 15, but it's very much worth to not have to slog through the grind manually.

Unless I’m missing something, it looks like the North American version will be significantly shorter.

 

I’m only seeing a trophy for defeating over 2,000 enemies as opposed to 10,000?

[DrZero_1983]

10000 kills a grind? One of the bonus voice clip challenges in HDN Victory required to kill 2500 enemies using each girl, and there were like 18+ of them...

Up to this part in the PS4 Korean version and while the method still largely works insofar as it will continuously go into battle, it seems like some form of wraparound was added to the Colosseum battle list at some point, so the game keeps picking far less efficient battles in the D or E range instead of always defaulting to F4 (odd that it doesn't go all the way down to S since that's where I'm at, but I'll count my blessings that it's at least still getting short battles), which makes turboing a fair bit longer than it should be. Not sure if wraparound was in all along and I just got lucky enough to never deal with it on PS5 JP or if it got added in a patch at some point (which would naturally be hardcoded into the Korean version given it came out 6 months after JP).

 

In any case, at least the English versions don't have this issue in the slightest due to the grind being drastically cut down to 2000, which should be more or less achievable by the time everything else is done (using Neptral Tower for Level 99 and 10M credits does a number to the enemy count since mobs there all have 6 enemies each), meaning hardly anyone who isn't importing will have to worry about this in the first place.
