Check notes for gear substitutions/obtainment Turn 1- K- Hold breath S- Defend R- Defend Turn 2+ K- Defend S- Rude Buster/Defend R-Healprayer/Healing items/Defend DO NOT ATTACK NORMALLY! IT IS MORE EFFICIENT TO DEFEND FOR RUDE BUSTER! Using this strategy, Rude Buster damage is (11x23) which is damage+(5x11) which is magic -(3x0) which is enemy defense. This gives 308 damage. Keep in mind the knight has damage reduction, but rude buster can bypass part of that. The exact formula is complicated. The knight has 7300 HP but you only actually need to get rid of 1460. If you don’t spend too long healing, this strategy takes either 7 or 8 turns.
Bounce Blade- Found in a chest in ch2. If you do not have it, can be substituted for literally any other Kris weapon, seeing as attack on Kris is useless for this strategy Tenna Tie- Gold Gacha prize. Tip for Gacha Machine- have a full inventory and place in 100 points. This refunds the points while still increasing gold prize chance. Tension Bow- Crafted from a Big Shot Bow tie and Tension Bit with Malius. If you do not have this, substitute for a Lodestone (bought from vending machines) Devilsknife- Obtained by fighting Jevil (Note that the method you use to defeat crystal bosses does not change your route, so you can still use this in a pacifist run). If you do not have this, substitute for Toxic Axe (Bought from vending machines) Shadow Mantle- Obtained from completing the Original Game/Sword Route. If you do not want to do Sword Route, substitute for Lodestone Dealmaker- Obtained from sparing Spamton NEO. If you do not have this, substitute for Lodestone Fiber Scarf/Dainty Scarf- Obtained from shops in chapter 3 and 1 respectively. For this strategy they are the exact same, both giving 2 magic. Blue Ribbon- Gold Gacha prize Twin Ribbon- Fuse the White and Pink ribbons at Malius. If you do not have this, substitute for Lodestone.
