The Worst Move Mathematically Possible In Deltarune

Deltarune Discussion
1

We all heard of blunders in Chess, terrible moves that put you on the losing side of the battle.

But what if I told you Deltarune also had the possibility of blunders during a battle?

In this case, I’m defining it as any move in a battle that doesn’t progress the battle in any way or increase a party member’s survivability.

But in your opinion, which one is the worst?

What do you think is the worst move mathematically possible in Deltarune?
  • Using all party members to spare an unsparable enemy which doesn’t increase mercy (thus wasting your turn)
  • Using S. Poison and waiting for the poison to fully damage the victim
  • Pacifying an enemy which isn’t tired (TP waste)
  • Missing your attack(s)
  • Checking an enemy over and over
  • Attempting to hit a boss which cannot be damaged (except for Gerson, in which it progresses the battle)
  • Giving items to a useless party member or a member on full HP
  • Tension item usage on full TP
  • Other (reply)

It happens to me SO OFTEN

3

It happens to me more than a 100 elo chess player

4

swooned party members being given items that doesn’t revive them could also be called a blunder (maybe)

5

wait
how useful are tensiongems

6

Mostly what I do if I’m like trying to beat a boss fast (rk) and I accidentally give the item to the wrong person so now Susie who was at full health is now at full health

7

dude

I don’t think you should rush it so take your time

8

it’s good for survivability and offense
But if you use it at full tp then smth must be wrong with ya

9

ik but like generally
are they something you like save a lot

10

I don’t

Shields exist (defend)

11

ig that works

12

“Giving items to a useless party member” as in I’m referring to flowery, Giving him items is mathematically one of the worst moves in deltarune

:plue:

14

I used tensiongems alot (and tension maxes) in chapter four because of the darkness thing so i could beat the titan faster

15

well then there, that's a mathematically horrible move for you

16

no? it worked really well?

17

that's what they're for. I used the tension gems so i could be unleashing every other turn and i beat the titan really really fast. it worked exactly as intended and it was great bc i HATEEEE the titan fight, it took me forever on my first playthrough

18

I mean wasting them

19

i guess

And not just in deltarune! In undertale, imagine checking sans over and over, confused, while he decimated you.
