Onigiri- Basic Strategy

Still testing and researching online and developed a basic strategy for Onigiri.

1.  Focus on good skills.  Quality skills on weapons are better than a purely high grade or damage rating.

2.  Spam skills.  You want to be able to one hit kill enemies.  SP recovery potions are cheap, fraction of the cost of HP recovery sushi items.  Use lots of SP potions and spam away on the skills to finish dungeons faster.

3.  White class weapons.  Go for Bronze item drops and seek white class items.  These are cheaper to enhance and smelt vs blue, red or gold items.  A +50 white sword with good skills is better than a gold weapon of the same ryou cost.

4.  Max Affinity.  Put stat points in a single star that boosts your main weapons affinity.  Goal is 3,000 affinity.  At lower levels you can use +% affinity items like magatama's to get 3,000.  But later you want to switch to +% Skill Force magatama's so plan ahead and boost your stat points.

5.  Magatama's- Skills is the name of the game.  Lower levels you are tempted by a variety of choices, but later in the game you want to maximize attack to maintain a one hit kill ability.  Skill force magatama's is the way.  By Sekigahara this is apparent.

6.  Dodge, Manuver and timing - many monsters have a set rhythm of what actions they take, there usually is a slight pause after their major attack, giving a window to unload a fast assault.  Learn their pattern and take advantage of it.  For example Kappa's like to throw a ranged attack, let them, dodge it and rush in for the kill.

7.  Money  (Ryou) runs - Yakumo Temple in Kyoto appears good with four Kanmon Magatama's giving 25% gold gain each for 100% total gain (unsure if it's stacked or cumulative) and the daily login 30% bonus you should be able to get 40k ryou from each of the four bosses and another 15k from the final boss, roughly 175k money per 3 minute run on hard mode, maybe 200k on hell mode.

It's feasible to make 3 to 4 million ryou in an hour doing about 18-20 runs.  There are also treasure chests yielding hp items, mostly squid, octopus and ootoro.  You however need to be able to kill the bosses quick.  I can do so with 2-3 skills barrage, although Daruma sometimes goes invincible mode and I have to clear off his henchmen to break the mode and finish him off.
