It's been hinted by...I can't quite remember at the moment, but someone knowledgeable of behind-the-scene workings that if we use Core Purge too many times in a short enough time period, then something bad will happen, even if we have Segarite Core. Actually, thinking back...wasn't that you dropping the hints about that crystalwatcher?

I don't remember. And I don't think so.
When you guys activate Core Purge you are literally dropping whatever containment barriers there are between the ???? Core and the rest of the world. That means your defenses drop dramatically, but not completely, and in return you literally blast the surrounding area with pure Divine power.

Hmm...Alright, one final question. After Core Purge is finished, are our defenses restored to full power? Or do they suffer a slight drop because we lowered them?

They're restored to full.
Anyway, found the post:
Or Lost was just stirring shit. Or it's something else I don't understand.
I think Reaper misunderstood: Core Purge doesn't work through walls, and has a relatively short range, so we have to get close to them and keep like that during it's run.
Or Lost was just stirring shit. Or it's something else I don't understand.
Anyway, now that I've cast my vote, and have cleared things up, I'm just going to comment this is really sad.
Hang in there Nepgear, you'll become bubbly, friendly and caring again someday! ...I hope.

You can totally be bubbly, friendly and caring while also being a mess of PTSD and other assorted disorders.Anyway, now that I've cast my vote, and have cleared things up, I'm just going to comment this is really sad.

And besides, if we can be sure of anything it's that Nepgear can accept the pain of the past and move on. She's made of stronger stuff than most people. Literally.

[X]Are you leaving anyone of Team GEAR behind?
-[X] Samael, James, and Aquila will stay at the barricades.
[X] Gone Fishin'
-[X] Spilt into two groups.
--[X] Solid Core will have Gabriel and Solid Drive follow her as they rush ahead, looking for rezz'd Magical Girls.
--[X] Red Rose will lead the rest (Shining Key, Insight, Lucky, Michael) as she sees fit.
-[X] If Nepgear's group encounters a Magical Girl charge her and try to disable her (lop off arms or something). If successful have Gabriel carry them back to the barricade to get de-sealed by Samael while Goddess Gold hold her down. Nepgear's group is all quick flyers to facilitate this.
-[X] If Red Rose runs into trouble fly to her and assist. Try to disable Magical Girls if possible, but follow Red Rose's commands.
Lets spilt up, we can do more damage that way. The tried and true method for fixing sealed people is to have Sam blast it while Goddess Gold chains the marked person up. Solid Core's team is mostly capable of tanking a heavy spell to the face before retaliating. Micheal is immune to spells and Lucky is quite likely to resist with her absurd Magic Modifier, they can support Red Rose by crushing skeletons while still being able to take a hit. In case of trouble we send Gabriel to help them get their Health back (Lucky has a Nepgear sized case of "unscathed or dead" in this plan, roll wisely glass cannon).
As an aside: When Michael got punched for hitting on White Knight, was he punched by White Knight or by her fiancé?

Is it bad, that my first thought on reading this was:Lets spilt up, we can do more damage that way
"Alright chumps, lets do this! Nep- GEEEEEEAAAAAARRRRRRR!!!!!"
"Oh god she just ran in."
"Save her!"
Well, at least nobody is tormenting her dreams with XP laden omakes lately.
We broke her through her defenses lol
They can't kill you if they are dead(unless they are Solid Core)
Any piece from after they died. Hence giving intact burials, because that gives you one corpse to secure rather than easily missed bits of ash.
I wonder if we could Synchronize his scan spell with Starfall.
Need more practice to be an expert.
Man, we should do this more often. It's lucrative.
...

Well, I imagine the main issue is the small radius. It's absolutely tiny unless we already have an unsurpassed mobility advantage to pin them down and expose our Core to them. Anyone fast could bug out. Anyone hard hitting has Nepgear in melee range of them with lowered defenses.
I think it's Insight feeling violated there. She's supposed to be the one giving out the mindfucks!This is Nepgear now:
Fights like a D&D ubercharger PC. When you enter battle, SOMEONE DIES IMMEDIATELY. Then you zoom out of the engagement area, loop around and pop the second one.
They can't kill you if they are dead(unless they are Solid Core)
Not a largish piece I think?

Well, Sam should scan everyone.

Not sure about Juggernaut, but I think only Sega would qualify as a Dive
Nepgear is not quite an expert at fucking enemies up. She's just got a giant hose that goes everywhere.

Huh, interesting. Beacon for all sorts I imagine.

Since people are apparently terrible at searching here is Juggernaut's The Unstoppable Spear:
Lemme expand on this real quick:
crystalwatcher said:The Unstoppable Spear
-
Level N/A
Base Damage: Target's Health
Magic Modifier: N/A
Affinity: Purity | Faith | Divinity
Ability: Unstoppable | Scale To Target | Overwhelmcrystalwatcher said:
For reference those abilities are:
Here is the Overwhelm Intercept ability:
Well it depends. If Scale-To-Target is simply what let's the damage be "Target's Health" then no the spear is actually useless against Nepgear since it can only deal 4,200 damage, although this bypasses Base Resilience, which thanks to ICORE and No Longer Human only does 21 Health damage. If it lets her adjust the damage to be some multiple of Nepgear's Health then we might be screwed depending upon how high that multiple gets.
If we Intercept one of Juggernaut Drive's the damage goes to like 43 which again is nothing.
Pretty much.
Or Aura of Light, or Purge, or any other ability that can specifically target the Control Seal without harming Juggernaut Drive.
Actually she's not. The average number of APTs of the 125 characters I've logged the data for so far is 3 and there are 22 characters with 5 or more APT.[/quote]
Oh and a reminder to people: Samael has Drive-Boost which, at it's current level, lets him cast two spells per turn. So he can cast Purge twice per turn. If he gets average rolls for Empower and Shell (+500 each) then in a single turn he can easily deal 3,500 to the Control Seal.

Red Rose (Guild Leader): Nepgear is the puller and Shining Key is the main tank, everyone got that?
Insight (Trial Member): What if Nep gets stunned while pulling?
Red Rose (Guild Leader): That's what Every Man for Himself is for.
Solid Core (Will Nep You Up!): Um... I lost my racial ability when I took this class.
Red Rose (Guild Leader): Ugh. New plan, hit it until it dies. I'm pretty sure I can clear this instance in my sleep, just don't stand in the bad stuff.

I'm going to try and stay awake a bit longer just in case Uber manages his Analysis before I run out of energy and go to bed.
Should make that any hostile Magical Girls rather then just Juggernaut Core, which should be Drive anyway, we don't want any of the girls popping, and have no IC reason to believe Juggernaut Drive has been resurrected.
Might also mention trying to see if she can get it to target the Control Seals; just imagine how happy Rei would be if she could save Ichi herself.
There are multiple issues here.
First off Gabirel should always have her Presence of Light going. It heals her allies and destroys the Control Seals. Even if they are evil there isn't any disadvantage in destroying their seals.
Secondly I'm not so sure about leaving our entire team outside, Sega doesn't count since she'll always go with Nepgear if possible. We should bring Samael in since he gives our team a way of destroying Control Seals without relying on Core Purge, which as a reminder may trigger Progenitor Frame which could cause issues, to avoid harming the victim. The outside team already have Gabriel and possibly Rei to do that. Plus Michael and James have already demonstrated an ability to attack Command Seals, with minimal spill over, so long as they know where they are.
Seems easier to just either have Samael take them down or go straight to Core Purge. Remember Core Purge instantly takes down a Control Seal.
Wouldn't it make sense to have Gabriel, and by extension Michael since he makes her more effective, outside to heal the allied mooks? Also why bring Lucky inside? Nepgear is already damaging enough I'm afraid of her bringing down the building on us and Lucky is just as collateral damage friendly as Nepgear.
As I just posted Samael can do some serious damage against seals with his Purge spell. It's honestly his best duty here, outside all the buffs.
My plan to come shortly, chapter review will wait since @crystalwatcher is staying awake for me.
