If you think the Sakaguchi Hero will have this kind of reaction, you're most likely crazier than John.
The gender equality challenge
Believe it or not, you can enforce gender equality when playing League of Victoria's Secret Angels. More specifically the third instalment. Firstly, select a male toon. But make sure the timer doesn't expire. Otherwise, you're stuck with a Kasumi, Hitomi, Lei Fang, or Tina Armstrong (Seong Mi-na if you prefer a salty Korean instead). After that, this would be where the fun part starts.
At the beginning of the game, you'd be getting plenty of... well, girls in the squad. But this is not to say gender equality is a longshot. One thing about LOA3 is you can easily throw the recruitment die more than 10 times per week if we're talking about normal recruitment. Normal recruitment die rolls would result in any one of these below:
1. Epic hero (because hero in this context can be race-neutral, but NOT the word angel)
2. Epic hero shards (you need 50 of the same kind to recruit an actual hero)
3. Epic souls (for purchasing epic hero chards in the shards store)
If John remembers it right, normal recruitment has a small chance of getting the kind of stuff elite recruitment can give you. Which would be any one of these below:
1. Legendary hero
2. Legendary hero shards
3. Legendary souls
Note: It's likely that there's a small chance of your elite recruitment rolling a Legendary+ grade hero/shard. If so, then it'd explain why normal recruitment has a small chance to roll a 20 (i.e. legendary grade stuff).
John L'Otter pulled off the #IMPOSSIBRU!
Believe it or not, John managed to make the average cynic look like this Westeros-Japanese meme below.
Until now, it felt like a weird dream where you're not just any hero, but the Goblin Slayer himself. Not because of girls like the Guild Girl and Cow Girl, but rather the D20 favoured John as if Tymora has nothing better to do apart from rigging the rng code. To prove John L'Otter wasn't a lying sea otter, allow him to point out the guys available in his heroic roster:
Rare heroes: They're all guys, so no need to mention them by the name. Okay, it's actually because they're just a bunch of nameless dudes.
Epic heroes: Rattler (Skeletor definitely got a male voice), Hope (assuming it's a he and NOT a she), Edgar (aka Jon Snow of the Night's Watch)
Legendary heroes: Alucard (the first legendary dude unlocked), Darion (aka Jon Stark of Winterfell), and Maxwell (Jaime Lannister under the banner of House Tyrell)
Out of these dudes above (i.e. NOT Gandalf, Snape, and John O'Kult), Jaime Lannister, Jon Snow, and Jon Stark were chosen to fly the gender equality banner at the command of John L'Otter. This means the current party is made up of 3 dudes, 3 ladies, and 2 more ladies as non-combat party support (Note: John needs to be very specific about the support because it may mean another thing to sex-starved single dudes).
Not bad for someone playing this game for like slightly more than one week at most.
Immediate goal: Get Glacia
John really needs to get her. And it has got nothing to do with the boobs. The reason why being that Telina has now unlocked Frostbringer. And this particular Divine Arma can give bonus stats once Glacia is present in the party. At the same time, she confers bond bonus for Darion and Sheila. So yeah, it's killing three birds with a stone instead of just two.
Support party members
BR most likely stands for Battle Rating. It's not just about your own character, but also the entire party. At 15K BR, you can unlock a slot for non-combat support members. At 20K BR, the second slot will be available. The third slot has yet to open for John, but that's because 40K BR is needed. From there onwards, it's an additional 10K BR needed per slot.
Now when you choose which character to slot in for the support, please make sure a bond bonus is available. BR isn't exactly dummy proof. Those who know the mechanics (trust John when he said it's only a matter of time) would try making the party work for them instead of the BR. This involved the formation, who's in, and who's going to play non-combat support. Most importantly, try to trigger one bond bonus for each combat party member (including yourself).
Right now, John has unlocked two slots. One for Amora and the other for Natasha. Once Glacia joins in the fun, she's going to take over from Natasha. That'd give the party at least one bond bonus per member.
XP scrolls and levelling up
Unless John got it wrong, support members' BR contributes to the overall BR. Hence, please have a good idea on how you're going to set up your support member network before reaching 40K BR. You should have plenty of time for that.
In the game, XP scrolls are available. If you've just unlocked a high-end hero (*cough* Maxwell *cough*), use them on that hero. Once you unlocked your preferred support member, then divert the XP scrolls to him/her. However, please note that this can only be done if all your combat party members got a high enough level (i.e. at least 60-65).
When it comes to levelling up, normal dungeons work better than elite ones. They're easier to clear and you have 10 tries per stage. At the same time, normal dungeons drop XP scrolls by default. So they're very useful for character levelling, combat or non-combat.
Party anchor?
If you managed to obtain your first legendary hero early in the game, try to make him/her the party anchor. This is because by the time other legendary heroes are unlocked, that particular hero should have attained a high enough level together with the augments and what-not.
For John, it's the katana girl. Otherwise known as Katrina, she's effectively a Rule 63 Sasaki Kojiro. Sanguine Rose deals an insane amount of damage for an AoE dps move, so you'd need plenty of that from her. At least John needs that.
To be cont'd...
(Because John realises it's more constructive to post less and write more)
