Good point, fixed.
Thats a very Rico train of thought until I think, the Eva interrupt.
Huh, whats that...wonder if its the worm-form or the Hunger?
That looks like ant bait!
Also Ana appears to have a Cuddle addiction.
She certainly seems a lot happier now that she's Connected.
Ah, No Longer Human body modifiers!
...going to be hard to give her hugs when half of us is freaking. And the other half is finding them cute.
Also puts the spider smashing in a new context.
Moon getting a little thick.
Gotta get her more exercise!
...seriously, take up some jogging!
Big Sister is Watching.
Huh, unbreakable like Two Minds Joined in Harmony, but the death backlash is one way.
No synch bonus yet, I think that comes at the next level?
Ana is substantially behind on XP spending, but looking at her sheet she has a lot more APT, so teaching her Skilled Dodge is a big help, especially if we raise her to Advanced Connection.
Ana has some interesting options here.
We know what the Connections do of course. Advanced shares APT(she has six, we have 5, taking Advanced Connection means we have 11 APT to split into 2 Skilled Dodge/Parry and still have 1 APT each), allows Sync damage bonus.
Complete shares spells...which I have no idea how Prepare the Feast interacts with us but Rapid Digestion's going to be a doozy .
Grand Devourer looks like upping her caterpillar form's boosts. Shedding Skin is probably the ability to cut off damage at thresholds.
So vote changed to:

[X] EXP-Plan Hook Ana Up More
-[X] World Eater - Advanced Connection - 500 EXP
Advanced Connection should be when we can transfer APT and adding Synch Attacks IIRC

Uh... pooling ApT starts at Complete Connection, with Absolute Connection being what allows to share Spells.
No, Absolute is the one that shares spells. That one is exclusive to Pris. Ana can't get that.

How should I put it: I have no doubts it can be reached still, as in we have the opportunity.
I have doubts we won't get sidetracked. So my current position is "abstain except for harmonious incorporation specifically", I won't vote for EXP for a while.
Though I won't discount the possibility of there being an opportunity for Harmonious Incorporation: The White Reaper, and the associated influx of spare EXP - in the late endgame. Who knows what that might bring?

So we saw from the fight with Nightmare Child that it's a big problem for us if an enemy can move to fast for us to see.
Should we ask one of the teachers how we can train to deal with that (how to train False High-Speed Combat, the ability to use raw skill to anticipate an enemy's actions)?

Ah, gotcha. Its been long enough I forgot.
Still want to connect her further though. Whats Advanced do again?

I'd say hold off. Storywise it makes more sense to me for Ana's tiers of Connection to progress gradually. I want to wait at least a day or two IC before upgrading to Advanced.
Also, rather than the attack synchronization, I think the sight sharing is the bigger benefit of Advanced Connection. That lets us do things like have Moon hide inside the Caterpillar's mouth and have her Scepter fly around and whack things that Eater can see. Or if we split the party during a battle.

Hiding within the mouth of a beeing that is always hungry doesnt seem like a good idea. Maybe if Ana is trained for such things and can control her swallowing reflex and dont forget her saliva. Nice Ideas but that would need at least quite a few days training. And about the false highspeed combat. If we cant keep up even predicting where an enemy is, is something that will work once or twice until the enemy understand what we do and can easely lure us into a trap.
Sry if I appear pessimistic on that part, but without a decent level of real combat-speed it will be nearly pointless if we can predict it. Or is there a spell/ability that let us do this without knowing the enemy? And that whole thing isnt just for offense, but for defense as well, otherwise the enemy just need to take us down faster.
But in general leveling a few things we have is most likely the right thing to do. Because until now acting was nearly every time better than reacting. (If we have us leveled up in a way we can try to force the enemy or mission into the way we want, even if we dont use all EXP for it, I somewhat recommend of leveling a few things.

Well, yeah, obviously Ana would need to train to do that. I was listing things we could train to do, not things we should be capable of immediately.
As for the predicting thing, if it stops working after one or two hits, that means you have only somewhat got the hang of it but haven't actually mastered the skill yet. If you've truly gotten the hang of it, you'll be anticipating them trying to fake you out (unless faking people out like that is what they specialize in).
From what I understand, it's less guesswork and more Spider-Man's Spider Sense. And definitely similar to the "Eye of the Mind (True)" skill from the Nasuverse.
The entire point of High-Speed Combat (False) is that it lets you successfully fight against ridiculously fast people without actually having anything on your sheet that explicitly says that you can do so.
Over in CWMGQ, most of the Top 20 MGs do NOT have High-Speed Combat, but all the ones who don't can still use the false version to beat up people who are ridiculously fast. White Soul can even dodge rain without any ability related to dodging or HSC.

It can doesnt mean there is AND it doesnt mean they know how to teach us this. With the last one lies the problem. It is even possible that there isnt an enemy which we need a better high speed combat than what we have now, if our other abiltys and dmg and defense are upgraded a bit more.
Narons post is rather evasive ... like always. I just give you things to consider. Mostly because you try/hope to get things from certain places which you/we dont know if they even have it or can teach us that. I just point that out, otherwise people will complain that this comes out of nowhere or such things, even when they are somewhat obvious.
I Dont mean it in a mean way, it is just a possibility that can happen and isnt that unliekly.

The thing about False HSC is that its not really something you can be taught. Someone can point you in the right direction, but the main thing is basically just "get really good at fighting by doing a fuck ton of fighting". You're training your intuition. Its not something you get quickly. Its something you get by being really, really experienced.

And that is the problem. We dont have that many fights and our girls are the more social type. It is more like hopefully we get that. i just hope we can avoid enemys who are too fast for us.
Putting some effort into it greatly increases the odds of it actually happening though, which in turn increases our odds of managing to save up that 15k. Since then its something the characters want IC.

I dont think we should even go for it. Like I said it is just the shiniest goodie, which would be the hell to get but then it would be really great. Even then I would go more for the other route, because my goal is no deaths until the End of this quest.
Regardless of the HSC thing, we need to get better at fighting in general, which means lots of sparing.
