Under the Open Sky (CWMGQ Spinoff)

seriously? oh you child soldiers have it so easy! to a girl who spent a few years as either a POW or trapped behind enemy lines. man I get that grief makes people stupid and the point they are clumsily making is valid, but fuck you for telling a prepubescent girl who's buried most of her family and spent a good chunk of her life fighting that she's sheltered.
Point of order: Summit isn't prepubescent, she's 16.

The rant would have made much more sense directed at Floral Glory. She still has all her parents and grandparents, an older sister and younger twins (a boy and a girl), and she's rich because both of her parents know valuable magic.

There's some growing tension over the perception that Magical Girls are joining the Dark in greater numbers while the Counter Force keeps them further away from the fighting grunts. MGs are last in and first out when there's trouble and it's no secret that commanders will sacrifice forces to preserve the MGs. Think of it like the marines that bled taking the island getting ticked at the bomber crews that have better food and lodging while never fighting where the marines can see them.

This attitude is rare, but some rather bitchy people have it. Like Molly there. She wishes she could burn a thousand demons at once and get her own room with a bathtub.
 
Maybe we need an Anne Frank style memoirs about the ways Mgs get fucked for being strong.

Like the creepy super mind rapey dude alway hunting you because your strong enough to matter.

Marax (the demon hunting Summit) doesn't have any mind-affecting powers. Where did you get the idea he did? :???:

EDIT: And Summit could easily tear him to shreds now anyways :V. He was a last season boss fight.

I mean for magical girl in general. They attact demon (or should be)stalkers often annoyingly able to make them regret their ability to live like White soul.

I did notice in the past that I am too prone to turtling. The balanced plan does look good.
Although, @Decim, would it be possible to take one level off of either Shifting or Gating to buy Double Hit and then Anti-Infantry? That is probably more important right now, especially because most people are voting for the demon-rush.

Edit: Oh well...

It's a rather silly argument, especially to a MG like Anna that has gone through so much. She's easily saved so many more and with her tendency to take things upon herself its much more often she sacrifices for others than the reverse.
Five seconds and eight concentric layers of extra brands later the field reappears in a shower of green and red sparks
Hmm this sounds like inspiration for a spell development action or at least some interest in Magic Binary.
"Hmm. You're cute when you aren't trying to be unflappable. Like a nervous kitten.
D'aww.
(Is now imagining Anna with Panoply cat ears.)
"Uh. You look, healthy. Yeah, healthy." Floral Glory looks you up and down, growing ever redder

Shares similarities in taking Panoply 30, Aegis field 20 and To Defy the Gods. The main deviation is in grabbing 2 levels of Versatility in Form, allowing us to utilise 4 abilities in combination. So to supplement this, we're also picking up more abilities.

Our typical combos can now look like this:
Melee: Double hit, Rain of blows, Crush, Rend
Range: Danmaku, Multi-shot, Rend, Laser/Ordnance/Anti-Infantry/Heavy Calibre

Im picking up Anti-infantry since we'll likely be dealing with huge masses of enemies for the aerial and rush encounter. Adamantine synergises well with the increase of Fortified defenses.(Could be persuaded to swap it for Mark though) Heavy calibre is perfect for the Demon crab.

Aggressive absorption is raised since we'll be doing a lot of fighting and its Consume heals us by 75% of damage dealt, so we'll be able to stay healthy without needing to stop and use self-repair. And maybe we might pick up some new abilities from using it? *fingers crossed*

I was taking a look at the shop, and I have to ask: what exactly does purchasing Intense Wave do for Summit? It requires both wave upgrades and Wave Force level 25 to even unlock, and by then it seems completely useless. Wave Force on its own scales according to the target's Max Health, and level 25 Wave Force already scales to 100% of the target's Max Health. So what exactly does purchasing Intense Wave accomplish?

Wave Force's scaling isn't level based. No matter how much we level it up, it will stay at 80%.

That upgrade is the only way to reach 100%.

Improving Wave Force's level does not increase the percent HP scaling. It only increases the Magic Modifier. We need to buy Intense Wave to improve the scaling.
 
... Why are people voting to try and take on one of the top 50 Magical Girls? We can't even take on what amount to decent chump change with them.

Actually, with a quick look at the sheet... with To Defy The Gods and one or two more levels in Protean, that fight is pretty winnable. If it is Lunatic Psyker.

I am more worried about the EXP-Plans being all over the place.
 
Just as an FYI, here's a vote tally. Lots of fragmentation in the EXP plans right now.

A 4/3/3/2 vote split.

Yeah, but two of the three voting for her are also voting for the one plan that doesn't have Defy the Gods.

I'm really split on Upgrades and Protean as well.

I think Protean is more useful when we go for more than one of the options given; the added Abilities will help resolving one of the problems in less time, which allows us to go for the rest sooner.
