Character modes · one character or a group

Choose who
you want to push.

Press F4 to choose between Normal mode for one character and Rotation mode for a group. Both modes keep the second Singleplayer selection on top-left so the correct character receives the NG level.

Two supported character modes

Normal repeatedly pushes one automatic top-left character. Rotation cycles from top-left through a roster position you select.

Mode 1 · Normal

Push one character repeatedly.

Use this when you want every completed cycle applied to the same character.

  1. 01
    Select your target character

    From the character-selection screen, choose the exact character you want to NG push.

  2. 02
    Enter a normal run

    Start any regular run with that character and wait until the run has loaded.

  3. 03
    Abandon the run

    Use the game's normal Abandon Run option and return to town or the menus.

  4. 04
    Confirm the character moved

    Open character selection again. Your chosen character should now occupy the top-left position.

  5. 05
    Choose Normal mode

    Launch Start-NateBera-NG-Ascension.cmd, press F4, and enter 1 for Automatic top-left.

  6. 06
    Test before repeating

    Run one watched F8 test, then use F9 only after the complete cycle succeeds.

Switching later: stop the bot with F10, repeat this preparation using the new character, confirm it is top-left, and run another watched F8 test before resuming repeated cycles.

Mode 2 · Rotation

Share NG across a character group.

Select any roster position as the end of the group. Each completed cycle moves that character to top-left and shifts the earlier characters one position, making the selected position contain a different character next cycle.

    Choose Rotation mode

    Press F4 and enter 2 for Rotation location.

  2. 02
    Choose the final included position

    On the multiplayer character screen, hover over the roster position that ends your group and press Ctrl + Alt + 3.

  3. 03
    Understand the order

    Selecting position 3 cycles the top-left, second, and third characters. Selecting position 5 cycles the first five. Selecting the final position cycles the complete roster.

  4. 04
    Calculate the cycle count

    Multiply the number of included characters by the NG levels wanted for each. Three characters × 10 NG each = 30 cycles. Set that total using F7.

  5. 05
    Run a watched test

    Use F8 first and confirm the rotation selection works, the same character becomes top-left in Singleplayer, and that character completes the exit.

Returning to one character: press F4 and enter 1 for Automatic top-left. The saved rotation location will no longer be used.
