WHY!?!?

[Commander Raze]

WHY CAN'T THE ALUCARDS AND SOMAS THAT I GET MATCHED WITH DODGE ASTARTE'S TEMPTATION?!?!?

Seriously! Every other character I've met can dodge it just fine, but the instant a Soma or Alucard get in there, 90% of the time he can't dodge it.

[Kiggy]

because soma is so godly he don't need to dodge!
Actially I think they get cocky and just fail

[dolphinmastrbubs]

Is it possible that some of them are newbies to chapter 7 as well? I'm not saying that all the Alucard & Soma players you meet aren't experienced, but still could some of them being beginners be a possibility?

In all fairness, I wasn't happy being unable to dodge temptation at first when I first played chapter 7, but watching YT vids of ch. 7 soma runs and knowing about Medusa Head soul helped me dodge it better.

[Commander Raze]

I think that I'm just doomed to find terribad Somas and Alucards.

[dolphinmastrbubs]

It's one reason why I decided to play Soma a lot -- to show that there is at least someone in the world who can dodge Astarte's temptation using him (though there's been countless, other hi-skilled players who do that very well also. It's how I learned how to dodge Astarte's temptation). But yeah, I see what you mean, Commander.

Though my pet peeve about others with chapter 7 is not so much about dodging Temptation as it is other Soma/Alucard players using improper weapons to fight her. But again, I give 'em slack cuz I never know if some of them are playing it for the first few times as well.

[Kiggy]

I beaten Astarte 900+ times. Trust me, its Soma being cocky and thinking he is godly a lot of time. Valmanwaying her and getting hit by temptation repeatedly. I do factor in that they might be new but I always wonder, why is it, that I'm the only one that plays chapters through solo first to learn the boss a bit when it first starts out? O-o It took me a long time to learn to dodge with anyone besides Soma, and Alucard. But now I can dodge it with any single character. Alucard though, there's no real excuse for not dodging it, he has a get out of jail free card. xD (Mist)

[dolphinmastrbubs]

Yeah, cuz Alucard can use mist to dodge Temptation, so no arguments there. But with the other characters, not so much (though I use Maria's turtleshell to reduce the dmg. from Temptation, and Maria's how I got my second Miser Ring on chapter 7 solo).

[Kiggy]

Yeah I keep seeing Alucards fail dodging it, or they mist after they get hit so they still get seduced, its funny actually. I mean everyone can mess up, but this one guy berserkered repeatedly and got seduced, one hit killed then. Thats another thing I find funny, people berserk who can't berserk. I know you can get hurt but yeah its sad when soon as they jump in they die. Least survive a bit!

I just straight out dodge it with Maria, no damage done. You get use to how to jump then double jump over the hearts. or stay in the middle of the lower one.

[Commander Raze]

It really isn't that hard, I usually use Charlotte with Winged Boots, but I can easily dodge her without them. It is as simple as jump over it from the front, and slide under from the back!

[dolphinmastrbubs]

I have yet to learn how to dodge temptation with other characters, but I'm watching YT vids on how to do that with Julius, Fuma, and others.
