Touhou Puppet Dance Performance / Re: TPDP Puppet Dex 1.5

Whatever's easiest for you, honestly. Option 2 sounds fine and I suppose the only disadvantage is it requires an internet connection, so maybe Option 3 is best. This one file is already more useful than most official strategy guides, so yeah, don't go to too much trouble.

Added that to Skill Card 10, thanks. I know I missed that one on my first pass of the area.

Since the original Skill Card list hasn't been updated for a while and the information was mostly from before the game was translated, I decided to give the list a clean up and update, fill in any missing information, and in general expand upon the hard work from Doesnt and everyone who posted. Here is the original thread.

Touhou Puppet Dance Performance / Re: Is this thing supposed to be this difficult/grindy?

« on: August 09, 2015, 12:36:10 AM »

The only times I had to actually grind in this game were when I swapped out some of my members for new ones and had to get them up to speed (like Yuuka, totally worth it tho), and even then it didn't take that long. My goal was to get every puppet, so that functioned as grinding for me since I killed anything I didn't want to catch, and if you're going to be playing around with endgame puppet battling I do recommend doing that, since it saves time in the long run backtracking for puppets and makes it feel less grindy.
This game doesn't coddle you like Pokemon does, and the trainers near the end will be out for blood, so you need to build your team properly and know your weaknesses and resistances. Being overleveled will only help you so much.
That said? I was asleep for most of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Pokemon X. This actually entertained me.

Touhou Puppet Dance Performance / Re: Might start Dance Performance soon, and I have some questions.

« on: August 08, 2015, 08:41:14 AM »

RanP is a higher cost which means she has higher base stat total but grows slower. She gets this game's equivalent of Moxie and has great focus attack and speed if you go power style. She gets Agility and Flame Charge, and she also resists 6 types and is weak to 4, which means you can switch in on stuff fairly safely.
MomijiS is somewhat similar if you go speed style, but ends up with 25 lower base focus attack than RanP. She can turn her myriad of void type attacks into wind type attacks, which she doesn't get STAB for, but Wind type is far better for coverage than Void, so that improves Returning Swallow a bit. She won't get a swords dance level boost in one turn, though, so you might be better off taking your chances with a dragon dance and just using her raw speed and some higher power moves. Killing Bite has a base power of 70 and always crits, so along with STAB it'll hurt a lot.

Which to choose? Hard to say. I'd personally go with Ran because I prefer her stats, ability and typing, and if you revenge kill something with a flame charge (rising sun) that's pretty much a free dragon dance right there. But I haven't seen much of the meta yet to determine if that's actually going to be viable. Also her STAB moveset for focus tends not to rise over 100 base power (though it has increased crit rate), but moxie would probably take care of that.

Touhou Puppet Dance Performance / Re: Might start Dance Performance soon, and I have some questions.

« on: August 07, 2015, 10:37:37 AM »

Both Seija AND Seiga appear pretty early on as well. Earlier than the Scarlet Devil cast.
An NPC after the end of the main story sells all the battle hold items, except for Layla's Amulet which just reduces wild encounters. I can confirm this includes Food Rations (Leftovers).

MomijiS gets the game's equivalent of Dragon Dance for her last move. If you wish to know more about the various puppets in the game, check out the excel spreadsheet Greenmittenz whipped up, it's incredibly thorough.
Since the base system and all the stats, moves, and movesets have changed quite a bit, you might not get much out of the Shoddy people. I dunno how experienced they are on the TPDP stuff. If you want, you can always make a thread in the competitive meta section of this forum and get people to give your team a look-over. I'm still experimenting with different puppets myself.

Touhou Puppet Dance Performance / Re: Might start Dance Performance soon, and I have some questions.

« on: August 06, 2015, 11:29:14 AM »

Also worth adding that Chen and Nazrin appear very very very early on in the game (much like in the other puppet play games), so if you want, pick something that appears later on and just catch those two. Dunno what kind of team you'd want to build but basically anything works as long as you pair them with good support. Remilia soaks up a lot of exp but she's a very capable sweeper and'll do you well for the story if you feel like using her. Same with Flan.
With the way endgame competitive team building works, it's better to start from scratch with your puppets anyway. The team I used is just sitting in my box at lvl 100, while I'm off rebirthing the junk puppets I caught through the story into 6 IV monsters.
Pick stuff you like!

« on: August 04, 2015, 12:48:54 PM »

Oh, that's no problem, I'm just glad to hear it's possible to replace them later. I thought I'd have to start from scratch to get this game's equivalent of a Lum Berry, especially considering I'm nearing the end of the main story. Thanks!

Touhou Puppet Dance Performance / One of a Kind Charms?

« on: August 04, 2015, 02:53:43 AM »

Hi there, first post, played touhoumons for a while and loving this new release. Just had a bit of a problem...

The charms, like say healing charm, I assumed were one use, and they sold for a great price, so i did just that and sold them earlier in the game. It was only until much later that I realised they come back after battle ends. Which makes them the most valuable thing ever once you're inflicted with hella statuses and out of myouren teas.

I've gotten pretty far in the game and don't really want to restart, and just wanted to know, is there any way to replace the status healing ones? I sold the healing charm and the poison cure charm forever ago like an idiot. I don't wanna reach endgame and have no lum berry for my puppets...
I am not opposed to using cheat engine to get the items back, but I wouldn't know where to start.
