Ha! Wish me luck, my troopers!
I'm probably not cracking open any souls until the new dev blood releases some updates (with hopefully better odds of getting better characters). I can't take another f**king corrupt ox cultist.
That's exactly what I am doing. Not leveling up any characters or opening new souls or spending trooper points. Focus is accumulating everything and leveling up talisman. Hopefully new update happens in a couple of weeks. I'd love to instantly 5* the next meta character that is released.
The secret for the Pharaoh Sun Spirit is, in 1x speed, trying to calculate to press just before the animation hits the enemy. It's like OpticSugar said. Now it's easier for me to have perfects with it than with Pharaoh Dog or Wickerman Eddie, among others.
