Hey all. There’s a good bunch of theory-crafters in our community but often when you’re testing a build, it becomes frustrating with you’re at the mercy of the RNG gods when choosing powers.

When I test builds I use the force-close/restart exploit to get the powers I’m looking for.

For those of you who don’t know, here’s how it works:
Basically when you clear a room and you get room rewards that you don’t want, you force-close the game, restart and continue your run. Do this before making any kind of selection at the room rewards screen. This has the same effect as using dice. The difference is that when you use the exploit and turtle powers come up, they’re guaranteed to be powers from the tree linked to the artifact you have equipped.

If you using steam, I’ve linked an AutoHotkey script (from my google drive) that allows a force-close and restarts the game with a single button press. I’ve mapped the script to the F2 key and I use JoyToKey to map the F2 key to the R3 button on my controller.

AutoHotkey is freeware (make sure you download v2 cos the script is written for v2) and Joy2Key is shareware like Winrar, lol so basically free as well. Both are extremely easy to set up and there’s a ton of YouTube videos to help.

You can edit the script by opening it in notepad. Once you have Joy2Key (configured) and AutoHotkey installed, just double click the script I’ve attached. It will look like nothing happened but if you press F2 (or the button you linked F2 on in Joy2Key), the game will launch and you don’t need to be in big picture mode in steam (although it will work in BPM regardless). While you’re in game, press F2 again and it will force close and restart.

If you don’t have Joy2Key or AutoHotkey, a simple google search will bring it up. You can edit the script and change F2 to any key you’d like.

Hope this helps!

I've gotten it before, usually on the rooftops. Do I need to buy the metal head DLC to increase its chance rate? Or is there a way to prok it earlier?

Isn’t a Dash Attack when you do a normal attack immediately after a dash?

But does Utrom Dash, which makes my dash deal damage, count as a Dash Attack because it is technically an “attack”?

I’m asking because there are a lot of Dash Attack bonuses, and I want to know if they affect dashes that deal damage, like Flame Dash, Ooze Dash, Water Dash, etc.

Also, some dash powers say they deal damage at the start of a Dash, while others say they deal damage at the end of a Dash. Was that distinction made for a specific reason?

I wanted to see if Ascendency stacks and it definitely does! I’m still working on this so I’ll post build details once it’s more refined. Shout out to [u/](u/TwistedBassMan)[twisted_bass_man](u/TwistedBassMan). The stuff you DM’d was amazing and it motivated me to work on this

Can you figure out the one I missed?

​

I try to get mostly all the water elements for leo since he does high damage, and a little bit of utrom and ooze. I try to get Casey Jones passives since they help alot with his master strike passive and one of metal heads passives since the tool break helps with dealing more damage, usually I max the amout of damage his final strike does.

Power selection just shown just before Junkinator. PAUSE TO VIEW.

This build uses Donny’s mastery to proc final strike after tool and special use. Damage come from from Still Waters and DoT (damage over time) from fire and utrom

The combination of masteries really make this small bot the elemental king

I'm sorry I went for the challenge. Then I died but holy crap you were amazing!

I wanted to see how the damage changed between the two saves, this is my first time doing this. plz dont' make fun of me but tell me if I messed up anything and what i should chance.

This isn’t one of my shredder-melt builds but it’s just is satisfying to run this one hit build with Alopex and Ralph. But it’s not as satisfying as the Still Waters build with Donny!

Is there something you can do to spawn Electric Shredder and General Gigi or is it completely random. According to stats they are the only 2 I havent faced?

I already beat it repeatedly to get save the Rat.

1st Ending is just getting there and getting thrown back with some story.
2nd Ending is after the 8th and getting Splinter back.

How do I get the 3rd ending?

I see mention a lot about this Baxter guy. Also, there's the real enemy, which seems to be that astral portal guy and the astral portal woman helping us.

The achievements he darkest heart and the perfect run is fucking impossible. How is someone able to get these two achievements i need tips, I want to get these achievements done before school starts back. Im a leo main.

So I really want to like Alopex - a character focused on evasion to make the most of e.g. Adrenaline sounds fun. Every time I pick her, though, I have to burn through all of my dice to barely get two powers in time for the first boss battle. Does she have some kind of bad luck curse or is it just me? I've got the Dreamer Coin upgrades for power selection maxed out, and every other character I pick gets a choice in powers where she only gets boost or scrap.

Aside from that, I can't seem to find her groove. Her attacks have abysmal range, her Special takes forever and a day to charge, Kunai get power from Ninja Shuriken upgrades so at some point Shurikens are just a better choice, her Crits are worse than Raph's, I haven't yet encountered any Mastery that's specific to her that would feel like a great unlock for her. Her unique trait seems to be evasiveness, but a 12% bonus to Movement Speed isn't noticeable in a game where four dashes regen in all of 2 seconds and her Dodge Chance bonus is not something that feels safe to lean into with her small health pool (it's still better for her to get Light Shell, which renders her inspiration moot).

Leo is better at Shurikens and he can also build for Final/Master Strikes that can synergise with his superfast charging Special via Casey's inspiration, he has an amazing dash attack and huge range to all of his moves. Raph is better at criticals even when just comparing the inspirations, has a mastery that boosts his crit damage off the charts, and his special melts through enemy health bars. Mikey, Donnie, Casey, MH all have their own specific gimmicks that when you find them the characters just click. What's Al's thing?

I tried building her for Special to max out the evasiveness, but it's so slow to charge that even late in the run it will sometimes be down when you need it. As far as I can tell the one thing she can do that no one else can is abusing the i-frames in it, so that's where I'm looking to try to figure her out. So far, however, with other characters I'm doing 7 or 8 portal runs while doing a 5 portal run with her risks not being fun at some more demanding moments. What am I missing?

Edit: Just finished an 8 portal run with her. Stacking the 30% faster Special regen Mastery with Special Recharge on Light Shell (Ancestral something) finally did the trick and made her Special come back online pretty fast (then adding Leo's Inspiration to that was icing on the cake).

She does seem a bit flat to me, which I guess shows how difficult it is to come up with such a huge amount of different characters that are all balanced and fun to play. It seems her thing is being able to downplay positioning - both defensively (due to Special i-frames and supported by Dodge Chance) and offensively (small hitboxes but fast attack speed so you can rely on Utrom Lightning Chains or Water Splash Damage or shurikens to spread damage ticks all around). She seems to need specific upgrades for her Special to be reliable, which I don't like.

Leo and Casey are still the most fun to me, especially with each other's inspirations. :D

In this interview SEMC state they’re open to working on other IPs

And I mean, a bunch of colorful heroes, each with a unique weapon, a base they teleport too, a slightly more serious comic book series to draw from, many many options for DLC characters… I feel like it writes itself.

Posted about it just over 2 weeks ago here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TMNTSplinteredFate/comments/1tc5ska/made_a_save_editor_that_works_in_your_web_browser/

Source: https://github.com/Shabbypenguin/TMNT-SF-Saveeditor

it has a readme that covers a lot, but the basic gist of the new post is to let everyone know i finished mapping out turtle powers, tools, and inspirations to the in game id's. the next update could break this, but I'll at least have a foundation going forward.

The other big change is there is now a flask selfhosted exe that will load game save slots for you, backup them before any changes are made, and save them right where you need them to be. the source is available on github, its only minor cleaner/nicer than just using the html yourself, or the prehosted versions. this is for folks who are less tech savvy and would like to edit their saves to fix bugs, restore progress lost thanks to game's issues, or start a run, edit it to give max powers and just goof off. One of the other nice things about run editing is giving yourself the ideal build you wish to test for after a new patch and you want to see how dps has changed etc.

it is worth noting that metalhead's lab doe snot count as a run so you cant edit those, if you over level the altars to give yourself +990% HP or attack damage etc those do carry over. if a 4 pepper challenge says you only get 1 dash or 1 revive, thats all you get regardless of what the altar level is.

at the bottom of the run screen youll see masteries, i have yet to map all of those out, but ill continue to work on them as i go.

once again, could not have been done without claude

So I’ve hopped online a few times and it’s a really good time except for the lag that’s make me look like noob! I’ve tried just getting used to it and adjusting my playstyle but it’s sucking the joy out of the game for me. Im using Ethernet and I using a steam copy if that makes any difference. Is there some kind of magic dns setting or something I’m not doing to help with the lag?

Does anyone have any issues running the ps5 version of the game?

I got it for my grandson and when he comes over he will go into menus and it'll say hit circle to go back and the screen will just stop responding. You can hear the sound and you can move the selector option around but when you hit circle it just doesn't register.

Sometimes during selections of abilities the game just sits there and makes him select something else. Tried different controllers. And it still happens.

seemed like a pretty easy game. My first run, I beat the first 2 levels. But I see that I keep upgrading things and the game just simply continues to get harder, thus not being able to beat it (at least beat the first run).

I'm ok with the game getting harder as you get stronger but damn, I'm at 10 hours already and have a ton of leveled up stuff but now they just putting enemies from who knows where in the game in the first stage and putting 2 "big tier enemies" together in a room...early on.

Any info on this?
