i'm pretty sure they have some awareness of bounce? like i swear i've seen them switch from multi-target spells to single-target if some enemies aren't bounced. i even convinced myself they're considering their own resistance to the spell they're casting being bounced. one of my ice dudes was relentless about casting crack into bounce because it healed him

a small part of me thinks that wisdom affects this kind of decision-making, but that might be a stretch

I watched my whole party sling spells at a lone Bounced enemy for like three turns

I kinda like the Wisdom theory, though, they seem to make dumber decisions at lower levels

that, or they're killing the enemies before they get Bounce up and I'm misremembering, or they have more options

I've never seen a monster cast into bounce. fought a boss who had bounce up the entire time, switched to my physical monsters, but still, no one cast into bounce.
Don't mess with a Bunny!

Middle echelon seems to be the home of annoying maps that I can't figure out how to progress, got stuck in Fortitude for a while and now I don't understand House of Shifting Sands

There are occasionally some, like, knocked-over pillars on the sides that you actually have to walk on. Theyre actually on the minimap and everything, but IMO pretty hard to see

wait til you see the upper echelon - were talking zelda-esque puzzle dungeons, beyond just the mazes of middle echelon. some are cool and others are maybe more than you want from a simple rpg.
add the c and back away

For the most part I thought the upper dungeons were fun. Upper Caprice was only frustrating for me because of how long it takes to execute. I think upper Temper was my least favorite since you can't really use the minimap to find your bearings on that one. I haven't done upper Conquest yet, though.
Change is weird.

upper caprice was the one i had in mind

i got to a certain point and was like "maybe i should have done this all differently" and left to do another round of synthesis

I get to turn into a team of bunny girls, the story is good actually

fake edit: nvm it still sucks

Anyway I kinda feel like the dungeon DLC is kinda a letdown. It doesn't have the charm of the old procgen worlds, the rewards don't seem worth it, and the restrictions kinda make it tough to use. Big fan of the Mole Hole though.

I DO really like how they did the bad ending with the CGs and the built-in rewind and it being acknowledged in dialogue
but then we're back to form with Toilen showing back up to be bestest buddies again for no real reason
