So effectively is the most powerful team to have just a bunch of SS pincer area mages and a healer? Even without any bows or swords they'd constantly wipe the board with their area skill attacks right? So putting all SS mages you have into a team, when compared at level for level with a sword or bow, sounds like the automatic thing to do....? Just keep chaining them up and someone's area attack, which usually does good damage alone will likely be set off every time
Was half expecting that reply from someone, and it's beside the point. But really, what I'm getting at is a few have asked "should I use this SS Mage or this SS Mage?". So yes, people do have multiples. So in that situation, given how powerful SS mages are, I'm asking, should the default answer be "use both in your team"? As many SS mages you've got (that have pincer area attack)...chuck 'em in. Should that be the approach?
I'm sure having 2-3 would be great but more than that would be inefficient. Mages have low HP and defense so they'll get wiped against stronger enemies in the later half of the game. Especially with high magic defense monsters. Mages also need to pincer still to attack so they would have be in melee range and they'd still get wiped. Then the situation with your healer would be that the healers don't have high hp so you'd have an entire team of characters that can't take many hits. In early game I'm sure you can get away with it but that's probably it. So in a way you'd have a strong team but with a huge weakness. I wouldn't recommend an all mage team at all.
Ok thanks. That's what I'm looking for. Of course theres levels where you'll need to switch out your team because the enemies have elemental resist. That's what the few team slots are for. So yeh, it wouldn't be a 100% all the time effective team. I'm sure though for like 80-90% of the time, a team with say 1 fire and one ice SS Mage, and a healer, and then whatever, would be a pretty darn good team.
Just try to use him as often you can, his % chance to use abilities will increase the more you use him. He's definitely useful, there will be mobs that have high def but low magic def. Though the first 10 chapters I've yet to encounter ice mobs but a bunch of fire mobs. I have the lightning SS Mage since I started, so far it's great and I got it to an additional 6% chance of activating abilities. The dmg without abilities is decent but much better compare to lower ranking C or B mages.
Honestly, don't bother spending money for new characters unless you have a lot of excess money with nothing to use it for. Odds are so low I haven't gotten ever an A or higher for coin. My last 30 pulls were 90% Ds and Cs. You can get lucky but it's the same as a slot machine in a casino. Job upgrades are actually very expensive. Save up for those since there's no gambling with upgrading unless you happen to hate the abilities.
Save your gold. If you have the money and wanna buy some energy to use and pull from pact of truth, go for it. Supports Mistwalker and from experience, you have a good chance at pulling something nice. I have 3 SS chars from pact of truth.
I dont like all this SS mage talk, I was happy with my SS sword dude, but now i dont feel so lucky! Also im having a tough time deciding between Bagunar and Rzonand..
Don't worry about that. I got my favorite SS character to start off the game with as a spear maiden but I got an SS mage later on. So that could happen down the line for you.
Any pointers on the last boss on chapter 10 that reverses time and back at full health its a real pain in the ass cuz was like one attack away and bamm back at square zero Thanks in advance
I don't think there are any tricks other than leveling up. I took out the adds quickly and then the boss.
Depends on whether you're playing this as a strategy game or playing this as game about showing off who has the biggest epeen People living under the impression you need as many high class characters as possible, the higher the better, should stay away from it. Those looking to see interesting alternative strategies not spend their time moaning how they waited all week for their free rare pull and, dammit, it's just a repeat, may find it enjoyable. Me, every time I get to 60K gold, just dump 30K into 10X normal pulls. It's amusing, hasn't slowed down a job change yet (have had 3X of them waiting for over a week but have no reason to actually activate them yet, still waiting on a lot of leveling and skill unlocking to happen first).
Finally back at the part where I was before I started doing resets. Now I can go through the rest of the game, not knowing what's going to be next. Edit: Oh, and lemme add a pic of my current squad. Hold on...
