Tenna and attacking him

does attacking tenna ruin a pacifist playthrough in ch3? like if i recruit everyone but attack tenna in his bossfight does that change anything? does he still get repaired by susie after the tv world guys tell her how to?

Never attack Tenna
Period
No Exceptions
:friend:

Attacking Tenna and having him get repaired depends on if you recruited everyone or not. Defeating him with violence ends the battle the same way as it does not attacking him, but having him repaired by Susie depends on if you recruit everyone (Like the Shadowguys, Zappers, Lanino and Elnina, Shuttah, etc)

Anyone may correct me if I am wrong!

yeah thats what i thought too. thanks!

its like 10x faster tho since kris does like 500 damage after sword route

TENNA DOESN'T DESERVE IT
:friend: :soppingwet:

I agree but, like, it's a personal decision

like how Tomeh likes the genocide route for some reason we don't know

Tomeh is doing Deltarune wrong

I get it takes time, and I respect that
the reason I don't get that is cause' I like the minigames
:friend:

ABSOLUTE THRUTH NUKE
Just don't attack the poor guy

I'm like 99% sure that attacking him gets the same result as no/not enough recruits

I may be able to check
:friend:

there's a bit of dialogue changes, but only within the boss fight itself, and when he's at low enough health he just starts the Final Episode automatically, ending the fight the same way

W speed thank you​:fire:

But uuuuhhhhh... That still doesn't explain whether he actually permanently "dies" or not after the Knight kills him

that depends on if you recruit certain darkners, I think.

Yeah, that's true, you repair him if you recruit the shadowguys, pippins and zappers
However I wasn't asking that
I was asking if attacking him locks you out of fixing him entirely, even if you recruited the necessary characters

attacking tenna has no impact on anything other than battle progression
whether he lives or dies depends entirely on recruits

kesmadjik had a video on this, the only way it could ever affect stuff is if you literally stathacked your save so you could do enough damage to instantly kill/lose tenna before he can start the battle progression thing I'm p sure?

...which is impossible in the base game. so as long as you don't cheat and give yourself one-shot level attack power, it oughta be fine. and besides, that'd just end the battle normally anyway, wouldn't it? it's not like you technically recruit him.
