I need tips for this game, i just bought this game for XBL and i really love this game.
Ive only played Soma and my gear is pretty good for normal but when i go hard it takes many hits to take down just 1 enemy:( so i need help, what character is good for beginners? (i heard Shanoa is noob friendly)
-
hunt down the user puwexil he's a hodespair expert
-
Playing as Soma on multiplayer makes him easy, Alucard also since they are drop based characters.
The game is gonna be hard until you get the rare drops
-
Play online. Most likely they will play on hard and depending on your team you can most likely sit back a collect rare items.
-
I see, thank you very much! <3

They have everything you need.

Yeah Alternate Harmony is definitely the place to go for Harmony of Despair. They got guides for all the characters and full drop charts.

Speaking of tips is the Fuma's armor better than Deaths robe? I use Julius and like using sub weapons if that helps.
-
Yeah Fuma Armor is better for whip users. It gives a nice bonus to sub weapons, which is extremely useful for Julius.
-
Looks like I'll be equipping my rare item drop stuff again. Thanks for the help.
Another question. Is the retro armor better than fuma's armor?
-
I've yet to find Retro Plate myself, but I believe it gives more defense and maybe more strength, but less mp and intelligence. But don't quote me on that.
-
Fair enough. I'll shoot for fuma's armor for the time being but keep am eye open for the plate. Once again thanks for the help.

No.... fuma's armor also increases your MP restoration rate and is much more common. Don't waste your time on retro armor; it is very rare drop that is not nearly as good.

Nice taste in games, Yuki! If you need some help, hit me up. My friends and I are still playing fairly regularly. Gamer Tag: The One Nation. My hours are pretty all over the place at work, so if I don't respond immediately, don't fret.
-
My anwser just whip the heck out of everything solves all problems does not matter which whip(I use Simon) user to me I just whip first, and ask questions later that's always been my style in CV :)

Thanks haha :3
Oh i see you added me:).
As ive read some char guides, i see the best is to stick to Soma, and change my char if i want more challange.
I am atm tryting to get Valmanway, so it would be great if you could help me with that :)
I plan on buying DLC, probably soon after getting my first Valmanway, mabye start recording some gameplays to when i get a bit better haha. :)
-
A little tip before going into hard mode as either Soma or Alucard.
Save up for the Laevatain (or however you spell it) that becomes available in the shop after beating normal. It's that fire sword that does multiple hits.
Probably a very good weapon til you start getting into the rare drops.
-
Im using atm Longinus and Yasutsuna.

Im using atm Longinus and Yasutsuna.
Then completely ignore what I said. Those weapons are a million times better. :P

On what char is it the easiest to get the best gear? (no DLC chapters) ive been trying to get the Valmansomething for a while now but im getting so unlucky with drops:( and when i checked my items rarity i saw that i only have two 5 star items, one was draculas coat that i got yesterday and some different armor.
And sadly most ppl only play few CH6 on hard and then leave :(

Valmanway is only obtainable (without DLC) on Chapter 6 (or 7 if playing the PS3 version) with Alucard and Soma, through gold chests.

Yeah ik that :P i only play Soma and Alucard atm. (now more Alucard as im using 2x Yasutsunas)
Ive been lately interested in Shanoa.
-
The nice thing with Soma is that you can farm certain souls and buy certain weapons to make your initial grind less hectic. Fire Demon is a good soul for new Somas, and the RPG is pretty nice, too. Buer's good for added coverage. Once you get a Claimh or Valmanway, you're pretty much halfway to Uber Soma. My Soma's pretty strong, and I almost never play him (Belmont guy, myself).
Alucard is a bit different. With you, the Yatsatsuna's are fairly good, but his best equipment is found in the DLC chapters. He just doesn't seem to be as good with Valmanways as Soma, but they're still good weapons for him.
-
Damn i forgot about the Claimh haha, i quess when i get one of those id be pretty happy:) could you tell me what chapters do i need to get to get better gear for Alucard or Shanoa? (as i plan on leveling more Shanoa when i get Calim/2x Valman or even start playing her as i see to many Somas/Alucards haha)
-
Every time I see this topic, I think, "Oh hey, I know LOTS about Harmony of Dissonance! Maybe I can help." Then I see posts about Alucard and Soma as playable characters and remember what's up. :(
-
Hehehe sorry, i changed the title :)

I've been trying for a Dracula's Tunic for freaking forever and can't get it to drop... I can solo Drac easy on hard with Soma, but no luck yet. Its one of the last items I need in the game.

This. Same here. I'm tired of using Death's Robe with Soma and Alucard. It's not a bad piece of equipment, but I've heard Drac's Tunic is better.
For Alucard, you'll probably want to farm 11 Hard the most for Yatsatsuna +1's and Murasame +1's (I think that's the name of it). Those are probably his best weapons. Mind you, Chapter 11 on Hard is no joke, but the rewards are good. You can also farm 11 on Normal for Thief Rings and an Ebisu Raiment to make your farming a bit easier. Also, 7 Hard will possibly drop Miser Rings, which will drastically increase your attack if you've got alot of gold.
For Shanoa, all Chapters help her a little. 7 can give you the Robe Docollette, 8 can give you Globus, 9 can give you Acerbatus, 10 can give you the Cerberus heads, and 11 can give you Lumanatio. It's hard to recommend a great setup with her, but that Robe is probably her best armor.
Hope that helps a little. See you online.

I got twin Vals and I find Ancient Armor to usually be better than Death's Robe in hard mode. I also have 2x Thief Rings, Ebisu Raiment and Royal Crown for luck gear. For some reason Dracula really hates me and doesn't want to drop his tunic :(
-
I got a Claimh drop today:) and also almost got a Valman but the person got the drop with who i duo'd. and a BIG THANK YOU for the person who duo'd with me! <3
Also the Claimh 'special' is random right?
I got like 3 Draculas Tunic's >.<
Oh and yesterday like 3-4am i got a Berserk body drop :)
Sadly i can't solo Dracula on Hard, he just keeps getting me with the rainbowtriangles lol or somehow with his stupid hand. (well i did use the Zerk body when i tried to solo him lol but the dmg i do when i were the Zerk body is just sick :D might try with Drac tunic later)
