Thanks for the help.

Just doing my job.

They're going to come back with more people you know.

Good point. Can you do something, Momiji?

I'll send out scouts.

Thanks. See you.

This whole situation is fishy.

Yup.

So now what?

Maybe I should just give in.

Don't.

Then what should I do?

What you did last game.

I'll get the three fairies.

Alice and I'll check with the SDM.

I have a friend who could help too.



After that cutscene, the party temporarily splits up. For convenience, the game asks if I want to remove the leaving characters' equipment.

Not much to do here. Marisa learns Support Attack and changes her PS to Magic Thruster. Oh, and she hit Ace status.

Cirno hasn't actually joined yet, but I'll post her analysis anyway.


Cirno
Personality: Resolute (Hit: +1, Miss: -1, Kill: +4, Get Hit: +2, Ally Killed: +2, Graze: +1)
Character Skills: HP Regenerate (S) (Recover 10% HP at the beginning of every turn), Ice Barrier (Nullifies all damage under 1800. Doesn't work on Lasers.)
Personal Skills: Freeze (next attack inflicts a -25% evasion debuff, limited uses), Dual Fairies (activates Cirno's friendship with Daiyousei), Ice Power (changes Ice Barrier to Ice Barrier +, which reduces all non-Laser damage by 1300 + [Skill Level * 200]), Burning Ice (ignores Size damage penalties)
Spirits: Grit, Guts, Assail (16), Valor (25)

Cirno is hilarious to me because it took me ages to figure out what her Ice Barrier actually does. As in, I literally only just realized while typing out this update. Guess I should update the pastebin again.

Anyway using Cirno is a boring grind until she hits level 22. See, Cirno's attacks are actually surprisingly strong. But thanks to her Small size, she's constantly running into damage penalties (and taking a ton of damage, which makes Ice Barrier a lot less useful than it sounds). Burning Ice gets around that, and quickly shoots her up into one of your stronger attackers. Too bad she can't hit for beans. Other then that, Cirno is no longer the only character with Grit, but she's probably the only one you'll have for a while so she's still got that going for her. I really don't know what else to say, she's certainly not the worst character in the game like I said she was last LP, but she's not setting the world on fire either. She's alright if you grind her up, passable enemy bait if you don't.
Cirno has the cheapest Valor in the game at only 40 SP. Burning Ice is also literally Hot Blooded Ice, I just couldn't think of a pithy way to say that kept the joke. Ryza suggested but I have standards damn it.
