>Probably every single corrupted meat there was in the region excluding whatever might exist past the excessive 5 bomb+ rock I never bothered with. I just checked. I had 29.
Yeah, the boss has a skill that deals ATK*meat damage. So with 29 meat, it's like being hit by freight train.
>That's really, really dumb. Of course I want to kill everything in the region, human/oids drop money.
Somewhere, a demon general is laughing at human folly. The cursed meat is supposed to be the trap mechanic of that area, better to try and kill as few as possible until you kill the boss.
>It's not like anyone has ever told me how. Just "nuh uh people totally do it."
There's no one easy trick to it. In my experience you have to use your limited resources wisely, while still using a lot of consumables, skip a lot of trash mobs and have tactics tailored for every boss (which will frequently mean having seen their turn orders previously and "blind"countering some stuff). Hard to tell someone how to do that without writing a 50 page strategy guide, which is very time consuming.
Using star knightess is also not cheating, and if you restrict yourself to never using it that's an additional optional challenge.
>Is there more? I don't know, I never even get a "yeah that's all."
Pretty sure that's all, but the only one that's actually important is day 100 for demon generals.
>I'm at a point now where it feels like every playthrough I've ever done raising physical attack was a mistake, and I should have just pumped magic as high as possibly so light just nukes things in to oblivion.
My feeling is that the current consensus is that ATK is slightly better than MATK (but MATK used to be much better), but ATK is also more complex compared to stone mind + radiance + light = mucho damage.
