I had a look into it and it's not very practical at all. From what I understand, you have to destroy a crystal with the Moe'd effect while the enemy is inside it's range. This would give the enemy the "Moe Moe" status effect for a couple of turns. You then need to triple moe the enemy (max all 3 bars). I'm not sure it's even 100% after all that.

Yeah, I think it was something like that... I remember it being pretty tedious & not worth the effort. ?

FINALLY! I got all the damn Pirates. Now the rest should be smooth smailing.

I was thinking of holding off on the weekly update since I'm now so close, but my gut is telling me I'm not going to get there tonight and so I'm posting this. I have maxed out every non-special shampuru and also maxed out on Test Success 1. I have maxed all charm except for Ditz/Terse. I'm currently farming the mugen field for CPU Big Sis before I go back to Boss Returns to finish off the Toy Capsule. After that, there will be nothing to do but farm Paw Pad until the platinum drops. I just wish the game would be nice enough to give me multiple enemies to farm CPU Big Sis from. It doesn't help me that I misplaced my ps3 controller, can't find it anywhere so using a ps4 controller so it's a bit slower if I get an event in the mugen field taking me past the rank I Tough floor 70 boss.

Somewhat disappointed I still don't have the platinum! This will be the last weekly update until the platinum drops. I have maxed everything except for Paw Pad and just going through the continuous grind. I hope I get it in the next 48 hours, if that doesn't happen it will be another week as I'll be away from my ps3 for a few days. Anyway, in more positive news, I got the 10,000,000,000km peon trophy and Ditz/Terse is up to 99%. Just another 180ish rounds of Ultimate God Arena to go...

Congrats!!!! Good job

@manudude02

 

Told you that you would get the platinum before me lol Congrats. I thought that once you reach the 1 million mark the trophy would unlock, but knowing that I still have to get a lot of Paw Pads before I get the platinum sucks since the most you can get is 15 per boss in Ultimate god Arena.

[Walt the Dog]

Congrats on the plat! Dunno when I'm getting back to it since I'm in the middle of other Compile Heart games for the time being, but hopefully soon. Definitely not doing it by year's end at this point, though. Would at least like to make it Plat #700, however.

@manudude02

[Masamune]

@manudude02 Awesome job, congrats! A bit high on the playtime, but at least you got it done (& your PS3 survived it). ? Which awards would you like? You can pick one of the Undisputed awards & one of the Ultimate Undisputed ones.

Well, it isn't progress on the plat, but I got a nice find today.

 

Had to get it in a bundle with 7 other games I don't really care for (thankfully for only $60, though), but it was worth it to have the complete collection of Mugen Souls stacks. When I'll get to it, I dunno, but at least I can actually aim for it now.

At 264720 shampurus with 72% average charm. Not much numerical progress tonight since I got a late start between playing the FF7 Remake demo tonight (gud demo) and the dreaded Daylight Savings Time jump, but I did finally reach 70% Ego charm to get Overwhelming Apocalypse. Got to the third battle of that before frenzying a crystal and eventually dying. Probably gonna go ahead and double my amount of runs to avoid dealing with that, not to mention if I start right after I deal with my Tier 13/14 grinding, it'll shorten some of the lower tier grinds at least a bit.

 

Quoting this for reference on my previous count since it's been such a long time.

 

Anyway, at 266521 Shampurus with 72% Average Charm still (no charm raises this time). Got in exactly one run of Boss Returns before constantly getting screwed over by frenzies. Did a run of Boss! Boss!! Boss!!! as well, which thankfully went well. On another note, I've decided to just cut to the chase and start my fourth run now. Not actually much point in putting off the NG+ runs considering the only real bonus is being able to get 125 High Lasers from the Chapter 8 boss and the chokepoint for Tier 15 shampurus is the Energetic ones anyway at 375 per NG+ run (High Laser being 575 without the Chapter 8 boss, meaning I would get it done on Run 18 compared to Run 27 for Energetic). This should also allow for me to get my fourth set of Overwhelming Briefs and get my DEF into the >100M range. Not sure if that'll do much for withstanding the Frenzied enemies/bosses in Boss Returns, but I want a break from that grind anyway.

[Walt the Dog]

At 280199 shampurus with 74% Average Charm. Got to Chapter 3 of NG+ and decided to just start doing Boss Returns again once I unlocked Seven World Redux. As the shampuru increase would indicate, I had several successful runs this time around, albeit not without some frustration. Also did a run of Boss! Boss!! Boss!!! to top off for the night since I wanted to reach 280k for the night and my last Boss Returns run left me at 279999.

[Walt the Dog]

At 286189 shampurus with 75% Average Charm. Got done Chapter 3 and did a few Boss Returns runs. Also decided to invest in a Move Up +250 matter and maxing out my Dual Defenders. Ends up making maneuvering the field properly a lot easier since I have more room to move around in and the lower range of the Dual Defenders means I can more easily isolate the large crystal on the field or at least just keep enemies out of my Moe Kill radius. Also comes with a decent boost to DEF (getting me to just over 100M), MND, AGI, and TEC at the cost of a mild ATK decrease and less SP compared to the Super Galaxy Cutter, which isn't a major issue at this point compared to the myriad benefits.

[Walt the Dog]

At 292274 Shampurus with 75% Average Charm. Decided to just go ahead and do some story today, so I'm up to Metal World: Diit (Chapter 7) now. Hopefully I can get at least the story if not post-game as well done within the week now that I have the drive to play this game again.

[Walt the Dog]

At 302476 Shampurus with 75% Average Charm. Up to Chapter 10 at this point having done the Bellaria fight, so I just need the Mugen Field run to get the True End conditions done and then I can blitz through the final battle and the post-game doppelgangers. Also, I am at a point where I can Moe Kill the start-of-Chapter 8 boss now, so I can probably just start running clear after clear at this point since there's no reason to put it off now other than wanting a break from it.

[Walt the Dog]

At 309620 Shampurus with 76% Average Charm. Got through the Mugen Field run up to Floor 70 and did the True End + the first half of the doppelgangers + Terse? to get the fourth set of Overwhelming Briefs. DEF is now at 118.75M while MND is at 62.98M. Should also be able to try for 999 Hits soon enough once I make peons that are good for it now that I can equip each of them with a set of Overwhelming Briefs.

 

As for future plans, since I did my Mugen Field run on Rank F Normal, I'm considering shooting for the 1st Lieutenant grind since I'm right on the floor range to do it and I'd like to get an idea of what Mugen Field grinding is like ahead of time, not to mention the shampuru in question doesn't seem to show up in the story proper, so I'm not wasting much doing the grind now.

[Walt the Dog]

At 312636 Shampurus with 76% Average Charm. Got done the doppelgangers, so I'll likely go ahead and grind out 1st Lieutenant for a while (maybe even to maximum) and see what I wanna do from there. Also managed to get an Angel Tear, so I've swapped to that in the meantime since it'll likely be a while before I can get the best Twin Knives in the game anyway since I'll need to get my G Castle strong enough to handle top tier battles so I can get to shops that actually let me buy the weapons, which is likely gonna take several more runs where I can get more Angel Tears to sell for ingredients.

[Walt the Dog]

At 315594 Shampurus with 76% Average Charm. Decided to get the digital version of the game to cut down on loading times since they kinda go from annoying to aggravating when they're so close to each other from Mugen Field floors barely taking any time. In any case, did some more 1st Lieutenant grind to get it up to 2120 and I decided to do a bit of Tier 8 grinding as well since I can just Moe Kill most of the enemies in there directly with CC Bipolar, including the two rarer enemies.

[Walt the Dog]

At 321326 Shampurus with 76% Average Charm. I have 4720 1st Lieutenants at this point, so I'm near the halfway point of this grind already. Also at 3776 Evil Spirits so far since this floor range is also pretty good for grinding those as well (the flower enemies drop a base amount of 10 Evil Spirits, though they aren't as common as Angry Bugs).

[Walt the Dog]

At 340405 Shampurus with 77% Average Charm. Got done getting the 1st Lieutenants to 9999, so I'm switching gears to Renegades - Prologue grinding for now. After assessing how many of each Tier 8 shampuru I would actually get per run, I've decided to switch to using Sadist for that as I'll max out the ones I was getting with Bipolar (Work Drill and Spatula aside) from just doing my other 23 runs whereas I still need plenty of Riot Squad and Rear Admiral (in particular, I need to max out the latter as it never appears in story and I don't wanna rely on random drops from stuff in the Mugen Field). Still switching to Bipolar when the enemies for Spatula and particularly Work Drill show up, granted.

 

Once I get done with this, I'll likely go back to the Rank F Floor 8X Mugen Field grinds. Don't really feel like moving on to Run 5 until I'm completely done with Rank F stuff since I'm in a run for them at the moment and I don't feel like having to go through again at specifically this rank.

[Walt the Dog]

At 366902 Shampurus with 77% Average Charm. Got done with Renegades - Prologue grinding. My Tier 8 shampurus are as follows.

 

• Rear Admiral: 9999 (first main goal of the grind being to max this out)
• Work Drill: 3742 (second main goal being to get this to 3444 minimum so my story runs could get it the rest of the way)
• Riot Squad: 9999
• Laser: 9667
• Life Counselor: 6066
• Spatula: 3949 (will max out during Mugen Field Rank F grind)
• Capsule Toy: 2199 (technically irrelevant to Renegades, but it's my lowest shampuru so far from Boss Returns)

 

Also did some grinding in Arena of Strength since it gives so much shampuru per battle, though I might come back to that later when Graceful has a higher charm level as even at 79% for Graceful, there's usually one or two enemies that need an extra Moe Kill to be peoned.

Been a while since I last made an update.

 

At 430802 shampurus with 80% Average Charm. Got a fair bit done since last update. Made some good progress on the Tiers 9-12 grinds (most notably, got done grinding for Galactic God Arena in general with only Agent and Hot-Blooded below 9999) and I finished the Mugen Field Rank F Floor 8X grinds. Even did a run of Boss Returns for the hell of it. Most importantly though, I finally managed a new trophy in this after over a year...

 

 

After a fair few false alarms (including a run that tragically left me a mere 12 million short of the 30 billion), I finally managed to get this done just now, and with 42B damage to boot.

 

As for now, I'm currently chipping away at the Mugen Field Rank F Floor 9X grind (particularly Captains as I started off with barely any of them) while doing the Tier 9-11 Arena grinds on the side. Will likely just go into NG+ again once the Rank F grind is done instead of waiting out the Arena grinds, in part because I'd like to get some more good armor and get through most of the content where I'll actually be utilizing Fever Mode a lot (namely the Mugen Field run that I have to do each playthrough as part of the True End conditions) to see if I can't get the 999 Hit combo to pop via the game glitching up instead of dealing with the process of getting a proper team together to do it on the Mega-Strong Arena boss.
