Insanely lucked out by getting both Penance and Nearl the Radiant as temp recruits in my latest run so I managed to clear that with little difficulty.
RNG trolled me by letting me give away Breogan's Portrait in an Opportunity node only for an Encounter node to immediately give it back to me. Managed to find a second Opportunity one to dump it in again so I got the last laugh.

The finale where Emperor confronts Zaaro and disses him becomes even funnier if he was using his rubber band gun from Code of Brawl in that scene and no-one realised he wasn't toting a REAL Lateran gun ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

That thing can break bulletproof glass, can't it? Don't think it matters that much.

So how long will it take for you to max out her pot? 
Damn, Last Knight is exactly as frustrating as everything made him out to be. Gonna have to give this a long think and figure out how I need to handle his freeze gimmick.

Probably forever, I don't chase pots.
Like reflections in the glass!
cleared the EX stages and EX-8 CM. any medals associated with these that I might've missed?

Not surprising, her and Thorns would trivialize most aspects of the maps if you can E2 them.
Though you'd still need more blockers and a medic just in case.

Perhaps I was not sufficiently clear enough in my previous posts, I am referring to the context of myself defeating the Last Knight - a boss in Integrated Strategies 3: Mizuki and Caerula Arbor, a mode where teambuilding is entirely up to RNG and resource hoarding - and not the game in general.

Neat. I haven't felt in the mood for doing roguelikes for a while.
Slowly going through the story because I had just returned from vacation. Correct me if I'm wrong; the Rossati claim to the Texas' successor. Their claim is based on how Grandma Rossati was Grandpa Texas' mistress. Does that mean the Rossati is a cadet branch of the Texas, and Giovanna is less Texas' "childhood friend" and just outright a cousin?
Not exactly; the Rossati did start with Salvadore Texas's first love, but no, the Rossati famiglia as a whole is made up of all the Columbian famiglie who came back to Siracusa after the Texases were liquidated, a position they got by essentially muscling their way into the void left when that happened.
Giovanna is definitely the granddaughter of Salvadore's first love (the woman Sora is playing in La Morte di Texas), but there's no indication given that she was pregnant with Salvadore's child when she left him.

All IS-EX (CM) stages done, Asset Liquidation buffs were a lot more tough to deal with in the last few stages than normal mode. Zaaro actually needed a few practice attempts to figure out how to deal with both waves while he was approaching (my phone did not like Młynar blowing up cars with the rain effects and Zaaro all being up at the same time >>)
Doing the Ex stages made me realize how i hate the invisible angel priest.

Sounds like a job for schwing schwing schwing~
Saving up 540 distinction certificates might be a bit of a pain, but if I do, that'll mean I can get another Texas pot in future (to go on top of the 2 from the CC tokens and phantom's IS rewards). That'll be nice.

I had to stop my dive into EX stages at 6 yesterday as I ran out of practice plans and didn't dare going straight-to-clear with EX-7.
Out of all stages I did, I think EX-3 was the most problematic. Primarily because of how much DP nuking I needed to get my formation in place. Had to actually add a second flagbearer to my usual vanguard trio of Bagpipe - Myrtle (s1m3) - Texas (s2m3) to pull if off. But once everything in place if was more or less AFK with occasional activation of Spalter's s3 to smack a croc.

When I got to Last Knight, I had Texas Alter and Ling in my party so I just circumvented the mechanics with Texas Redeploy nuke spam and Ling summon Do T auras.
Otherwise I suggest bringing a therapist like Whisperain or whatever, maybe?

Cuora ended up featuring heavily in my lineups for EX-7 and EX-8, because I kept spawning Savra Agent 47s and had to tank and spank them.
Also I ended up throwing Surtr and Radiant Nearl and Texas at EX-8, because helidrops are OP there.

The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!
Damn it, I keep having bad teambuilding luck when it comes to the last floor of Glebe Mining Platform. It's the last one I need the perfect clear medal for, then I don't have to touch SSS ever again.
It's been fun.

Oh, there's a survey out for Il Siracusano.
I like the section about the dub feedback, seems they particularly want to know if people like the regionalisation of it all.

Yea, that Glebe Mining Platform final boss is a race against time in several ways (both the awkward starting position where you have to work your way to other spots thanks to the lights, and the boss with its global ramp-up abilities), so you can get screwed by your starting set even more than usual for an SSS stage.
Got two more wonderlands and, surprisingly, managed to collect the remaining IS1 bosses.
Gravestone is a pain, if only because I had Fang as my only vanguard in that run. -DP generation hit me really hard. Otherwise he's not that difficult.
Rusthammer is by far the easiest. I had Abyssal Team (Gladiia + Specter alter) for my laneholders and and Laurentina didn't even notice getting shot by that guy.
P.S. Double Pompeii stage in wonderland / floor 6 can be a pain.
