Q: How much dodge do I get per point in Dexterity?

For the first 100 points of Dexterity, it seems I get 0.1% chance to dodge per point. After that, however, it starts getting into decimal numbers and I can't figure out the exact equation. What are the functions involved for figuring out how much dodge chance I will have given my Dexterity score?

Apparently each time the new clone masters the same skill yet again the game counts it as another skill mastered

So that, combined with a teleporter and a suicidal crew of mantis, means one lucky fellow mastered an astounding 21 skills

More there there are skills for in the entire game

badp

...so the launch discount of Half Minute Hero 2 came with free DLC which is now for purchase. It's quite cringe-inducing. Wouldn't recommend.

Frank

@badp Does it have the same modes as the original?

badp

@Frank For now it's just Hero 30.

I don't believe that'll change.

There's a few variations on the theme, but nothing like Princess 30 or Evil Lord 30 where the mechanics are completely different.

The main difference from HMH1 is that all Hero 30 quests take place on an overworld.

You can level up in the overworld, and your level carries over in the individual quests (but not vice versa).

In other words, this means you don't have to buy equipment during quests. You can go back to villages selling stuff after the quest is done.

Frank

14:10
