Hi! Sorry but I've got to ask, in Devil's Dozen stat check

The ball barrels towards you fast, and straight for your face.

The options are basically: relax, focus, dodge. Is this a personality check or stat check? Cause I swear I've gotten this achievement a dozen times and it wasn't that hard, but suddenly after the update i can't get it helpppp I've been trying for the last 45 minutes and by god I'm still failing 😭

Aww omg. Dodge is a fake option (it always fails).

Focus on hitting the ball before it bounces is a serve > 24, and relax and angle it after the bounce is a finesse > 24 check (lowered it ever so slightly just a minute ago, hope that helps, though I think it was at something like > 25 or > 26 before.

Good luck!!

Are you supposed to dislike the non-alchoholic concoction in the drinking game even if you said you like century eggs previously?

Yes, you're still supposed to be a little grossed out that it's in liquid form, but I've allowed folks who said they liked century eggs to be a little less grossed out than those who said they didn't.

Did the required stat for the devils dozen get higher? Usually I can get it no problem, but now I always miss one 🥲 Im just sad that my mc now dont have any nicknames from the team cus hes weak af & not that fast yet so the first two challenges are a definite loss for him but hes always won the devils dozen before. Any tips for early builds? my mc is Tactics+finesse focused and by the devils dozen his 3rd best stat is SV (20), and 4th is Agility (18). Im kinda stumped on how to improve the stats very early on 😅

Generally I think you need finesse > 28, and agility or endurance > 25 helps, though with higher finesse, you can compensate (total needs to be 50). Serves > 25 helps to replace a finesse check (lower finesse ... I think 25 should then be sufficient). Finally, condition helps to replace an endurance check.

That shoulddd do the trick. Hope that's useful?

Hiiii bestie I got a question.

What do you need to do to get the Devil's dozen? Because on one play-through I'd get it but the next I won't? Or is it like a super secret that I can't crack?🫢

Each ball has different requirements, but Devil's dozen is ultimately a finesse + endurance check.

To simplify, I'd say you'll need finesse > 29, endurance > 29. Agility > 29 helps in the last ball (where you can sprint towards it) but you also need to not be too tired (which goes back to endurance). And you can choose the other options if you're not fast enough (e.g. Concentrate).

You also need to not "protect your moneymaker" (i.e. face) when Coach Sy blasts a ball right towards you. Courage in the face of adversity!
