Kid Icarus: Uprising

[ninjaTOASTY]

Yeah I'll agree with you there. I think I've only purchased one weapon from her shop; I get most of mine from fusing. Since I hardly use it, I almost forgot it was there

[KingBroly]

I purchase Weapons from the Shop. Only because I wanted the 'buy 30 weapons' Challenge. I also want the 'buy 100 weapons' Challenge.

Also, I'm torn between beating Chapter 6 on 9.0 with my regular Needle Palm and just unlocking that one with a Feather at the moment. If I can.

[TheLastBlade]

I actually get the unlockables by random. Still pissed at the lameass Shop... I wasted a very good drill... (5 range and 4 melee)... I demand a Palutena troll song...

[BroBuzz]

Beat Chapter 25th on 9.0.
Mother of god, is was freaking difficult.

Spoiler:

I was just able to launch the final attack on Hades while in crisis mode ;-;

[AtomicBean]

I have so far not been able to clear anything above 6.5 difficulty (only once, and only by a hair). I think after some rigorous trail and error I've finally settled on staffs for my weapon of choice, but I don't have very many and the ones I do have aren't all that great. Shucks.

If only I weren't so stingy about fusing weapons...

That's exactly how my first successful attempt at the final battle came out, and that was on 3.0. Can't imagine what your experience must have been like, haha.

[Alleyway]

Gaol Blade on 7-8.0 difficulty settings, all the way.

[8bit101]

Anyone here has done all the chapters at intensity 9.0? XD

[led-naruto]

Anyone here has done all the chapters at intensity 9.0? XD

We're on that process. Unfortunately, other things keep us busy.

Best way to defeat the Great Reaper in 9.0 with claws? In the words of Pit: "Get up, fall down, get up, fall down."

[KingBroly]

Wait, there was a stipulation for that on Chapter 4?

[led-naruto]

Not really: defeat 200 enemies and clear the level. Doing that is quite easy, surviving while making mistakes on the other hand...

I also found out there that the hot springs can heal you just a certain amount of health, they're not really permanent...

[KingBroly]

Yeah, I need to find a Recovery Effect+ item modifier that gives you more health per recovery. As of right now, you don't gain squat when using items.

A full heal item would be a God Send for 9.0 Intensity runs though.

I don't have those, instead, I have some weapons with Overall Defense. I try to fuse a weapon with Freezing efect, but it's quite difficult.

Actually, I think the Pisces Heal does that. I'm not really sure in solo mode, but a cpu in free for all used it and fully healed him while I was slashing him.

Also got a weapon with value of 341... I didn't know they got that high...

[8bit101]

I was asking that question because I've done 21 chapters at intensity 9.0 quite easily with one weapon.

Violet Palm
Value: 311
Ranged: 3 1/2
Melee: 0
Overall defense +8
Health +6
Dash cont. fire +1
Speed -1

[led-naruto]

Mistake number 1 while doing Dark Pit's chapter challenge: not getting the Drink of Gods while approaching to the Grind Rail...

[8bit101]

Ok all the chapters have been done at intensity 9.0.

[blaz3r9]

My favourite weapon which I use for intensity 9 runs

Laser Staff

Range: 3 Stars (Could be higher, but does a reasonably good job)

Melee: 2 1/2 Stars (Not at all important for my style of play)

Overall Defense +8

Now this weapon doesn't have much going in the stars department, but the overall defense is the icing on the cake for solo. When I'm doing these 9 runs, when enemies hit me it's like getting hit on intensity 6

[AtomicBean]

My new favorite weapon: Rose Staff!

Range: 5
Melee: 0
Value: 228
Overall Defense +2
Status Resistance +1

I friggin' love this thing.

Nice.
My gear is
Viloet Palm
Ranged: 3 1/2
Overall defense +8
Health +6
Dash cont. fire +1
Speed -1
I would be lying if I said that it didn't kill enemies easilly. Not only that, overall def. +8 and health +6 makes you a tank, if you play well, it's nearly impossible for you to die.

[led-naruto]

I don't have those things, instead I play both in close and ranged combat like if my life depended on it.

Samurai Blade
Overall defense +4
Status Resistance +2
Shot homing +1
Speed +3
In-peril attack boost +1
Value 291
Ranged 2 1/2
Melee 2

[Waynebrizzle]

Hi I'm new and I like Kid Icarus: Uprising. Here's my current favorite weapon:

Viper blade
speed +1
evasion +1
forward-dash charge shot +1
full-health boost +2

ranged 6 stars
melee 6 stars

Value: 323

It's pretty much perfect for my style of play, and the dash attack can be devastating in multiplayer. I sort of wish I had something with high defense like you guys, though.

[led-naruto]

So while trying to beat a challenge for Chapter 10, I noticed a few things:

-There are in total 3 Souflees in the whole chapter.
-This chapter gives you more than 40,000 hearts in 9.0
-You can actually destroy the Wish Seed during the boss battle; the ending cutscene doesn't differ much from the other when you don't destroy it, but it's fun.

[KingBroly]

I've sort of taken a break from KI:U. I'll get back into it after this weekend's concert. Hopefully someone will give me some good items.

[NightsOwl]

I have a question about KI:U...

About how long do you think the game would last for someone who's a completionist?

[AtomicBean]

Forever and a day.

Seriously, if you're keen on acquiring every weapon, idol, and clearing out the Treasure Hunt, among other things...you'll be playing this game for a good, long time.

Think Smash Bros. if you want a good idea of the scope of unlockables/extras in this game.

[led-naruto]

I somehow managed to make a glitch in Chapter 13...

Spoiler:

When you fight Dark Pit, I hit him with a shot of the Virgo Palm.

making him unable to shoot to me...
I'm serious, he was just wandering around and sometimes running towards me, but he didn't shoot at all after that.
Did someone find this already?

Also another curious thing I didn't notice: you get points for walking on surfaces during the flight section; I thought it was just for fun, but yes, it actually helps.

Also, how do you normally fight the boss of this chapter 13? I already did, but I'm curious what strategy you normally use.
