"Now I will be using the cat for this boss... Actually, scratch that..."

Lol

Hey Jup I found out what makes Arma Felix lose damage after a suspend.
She doesn't lose damage. I searched and it seems that if you level up while transformed, the game adds the stat changes of the items you have equipped to your normal stats. After suspending or loading a save file, the game probably just corrects this.

Edit: It seems the way this glitch works is that you need to Level up while transformed>detransform into normal shanoa>transform again and you will have the permanent stat increase

The cat was so good they brought it back in Ritual as a Bunny.

Shanoa 2.0 are my thoughts exactly while playing ritual. Even the quests remind me of Ecclesia.

I feel like if you ever actually got double jump, cat transformation would be viable on Dracula. Probably Death Ring too.

11:46 even the randomizer gimmick is randomized. Truly witnessing the optimal rng experience

Order of Ecclesia, but Shanoa is very self-conscious

Cat Shanoa my beloved

Cat and bat transformation only were some of my favourite runs in Order. I did ng+ runs with them, and still remeber beating Dracula in 30 sec no hit with the cat. It's fun as hell.

22:37 Crab got stick bugg'd

wind ring is probably better than you think, you were testing slash dmg on a Cursed Diva, which resists that dmg type, and wind ring was actually giving you approx. a 10% boost there, which on other enemies that might be weak to slash might be pretty valuable

Cat Shanoa is Julius’ ancestor confirmed, gaining power through collecting boss orbs.

The boss Orb thing reminds me of the badge boost glitch from gen 1 pokemon where getting any Stat boost doubles the badge effects until you level or w/e

Its not the boss orb that gave you the damage boost. Its because you level up while transformed. It causes a glitch in the stats on leveling up when transformed, giving a larger than normal boost you get from leveling. It fixs itself when the game resets IE loading dying and loading a save.

1:26:06 It's me, I'm that person. (Altho I only ever used it casually to get through a fair amount of the castle.) Indeed, I legit clicked on this video because I saw the title and thought "soon as he gets Arma Felix we're pretty much done; would be awesome if we get to see it before the castle", and sure enough... :)

Oh no still have to discover if is a click bait

37:29 I didn't know you could talk to the cat

That was an incredible surprise and a joy to watch.
I had alwaysbelieved that the transormations were at the absolute bottom of garbage tier.
I guess one of them actually has some viability.
The boss orb bonus is baffling. such interesting hidden mechanic.

1:03:50 I noticed that you went into the fight with a base of 64 strength, but then the next fight, after reloading, you went in with 50. In fact, ALL your stats were somehow lower.

I'm fairly sure i remember the robot transformation having a backdash in the base game, but it's been about a year so i could be mistaken
