Darkanas are absolutely broken as fuck. (Especially with Queen Sigma.) And this was just me fucking around with it for a little while, rather than actually trying to engineer some truly beastly build or anything.
Those first three links are screenshots from a run I just completed. The fact that it took three screenshots just to show the list of weapons I picked up (including all the Candyboxes and Arma Dios) is nuts.
I wish I had taken a screen shot of the map screen before the run ended, but I didn't think about it until it was too late.
This run, even though it lasted almost an hour (more like almost 30 minutes, real time, since I had Hurry mode turned on), was not on Endless mode, which means that Reapers did start showing up at the in-game 30 minute mark. I was trying to see if I could actually kill one of them without having to use Infinite Corridor, but after another almost 30 minutes (almost 15 real time), I gave up on that, since any given Reaper's health is 655,350 x player level when it spawns, and my player level was already in the multiple hundreds by the time they started showing up. The last reapers to spawn would've had something like almost 500 million health (though actually probably way higher than even that, since that doesn't even take into account the amount of Curse I had, from maxed out Skull O'Maniac, Torrona's Box, and, by the end, Gold Ring and Metaglio Right, and I don't feel like doing that much math right now). So... yeah, that probably wasn't going to happen any time soon, even if all the weapons together were doing over a million DPS (assuming they all hit any given Reaper at the same time, of course, which probably wasn't actually happening). I eventually remembered that I had taken Laurel and Clock Lancet, so instead of just standing there waiting for any one of the Reapers to finally legit die, I just gave up and went to grab the Metaglios and the rings to evolve them to Crimson Shroud and Infinite Corridor. Didn't really need the Crimson Shroud, since the Reapers weren't able to kill me even without it. (I could've just manually quit, I suppose, but where's the fun in that?)
If you look at those screenshots, on the right hand side, where it shows the dropped items I picked up, on the second row, next to the gold coins, those little blue hearts are Crystalized Hearts from the new Crystal Cries Darkana. I had picked up 13,959 of those things. That's why the Reapers couldn't kill me. It's also why I reached almost to level 700. My health regen was at something like almost 40 health per tick, and I don't even know why my Growth was by the end of it, since on the stat screen, that had been completely pushed off the bottom of the screen by all the weapons and passives I had picked up, but I remember the last time I looked and was able to see it, it was already in the multiple hundreds percent increase to XP gained, and that was way before the Reapers started appearing, too. I also had Sapphire Mist, Moonlight Bolero, and Hail from the Future (and Disco of Gold from the regular Arcana list, too, just for shits and giggles).
I know poncle said the Darkanas are "experimental and subject to change," and I suppose that they probably should be nerfed, maybe, but I'd be okay with it if they weren't. *shrug* ¬_¬
