Calories (kcal) is a special type of mechanic tied to Hilda that determines her form and by extension, her stats and available Magic Arts.

Calorie Bar[]

Calorie Bar; blue section represents Slim Hilda, pink section represents Pink Bat, and red section represents Curvy Hilda

Hilda's current Calorie level is held in the Calorie Bar, which displays a spectrum ranging from values -100 to 100.

  • If the bar is between -99 to -11, Hilda will be in her Slim Form.
  • If the bar is between -10 to +10, Hilda will be in her Pink Bat form.
  • If the bar is between +11 to +99, Hilda will be in her Curvy Form.

To shift the Calorie Bar, Hilda must use her Magic Arts: Calorie Drain skill on enemies, available to all three forms; Depending on the specific enemy species she will either gain or lose Calories.

The amount of Calories an enemy species will provide is displayed alongside their other information once Johnny has Snapped them at least once. If a Ring Perfect is achieved on Calorie Drain, Hilda will take an extra Calorie from her target, either Plus or Minus.

Note: Calorie Drain cannot be used twice on the same enemy in one battle.

Mask Forms[]

Should the Calorie Bar reach an extreme (exactly -100 or +100), Hilda's stats in her Slim or Curvy forms will increase dramatically as she enters a special Mask form (Slim Mask or Curvy Mask). However, Calorie Drain becomes unavailable, and Hilda's Mask forms will last for three battles only.

At the beginning of the next battle afterward, she will revert to her Pink Bat form with exactly 0 Calories.

Other[]

Certain items can be found that will affect the Calorie Bar directly when used; Angel Souffles will grant Hilda +25kcal, while Fruity Fiber will grant her -25kcal.

Hilda's unique accessories, the Seraphim Straw and the Devil Straw, will also enhance the amount of Plus or Minus Calories drained from enemies with Calorie Drain, respectively.

In addition, if Hilda should ever go Berserk, she will start to alternate her forms automatically - when the battle ends she will be in whatever form the Calorie counter ended up on.

Stats[]

Health and Magic[]

In addition to the flat stat changes across the forms, Hilda's base Health Points and Magic Points variables will also increase or decrease depending on her form.

  • 22% difference between Max HP for Slim and Curvy forms (+ for Slim to Curvy, - for Curvy to Slim)
  • 24% difference between Max MP for Slim and Curvy forms (- for Slim to Curvy, + for Curvy to Slim)

Pink Bat is calculated differently, with its max Health and Magic being determined by the current max HP and MP of Curvy and Slim Hilda respectively.


Also LUC and Sanity Points are the only stats that remain the same regardless of Hilda's current form, and none of any of her Mask forms will alter anything other than Physical Attack and Defense, and Special Attack and Defense.

Trivia[]

  • Calories denoted as "kcal" refer to 'large calories' or kilocalaries, which measure lesser calories in the thousands. Thus, Calories is written with a capitalized letter C to distinguish it from the smaller unit, which are denoted as "cal".
