Doing random battles with Ninja/Chemist/Chemist/Berserker is miserable so I've been !Smoking out of fights, but I'm going to have to eventually grind out the Wall Rings or Chemist ingredients. Honestly I'd rather have a party that can trivialize random encounters but has challenges on bosses, than a party that trivializes bosses but gets smeared by random fuckoff enemies.

Spam Flame Scrolls and 2x Hi-Pot Mixes on Zombie Dragons to build up Dragon Fangs if you really need Reflect before W3. Once you get to W3, slap your thief knife either on your Ninja or your Zerk and go to Phoenix Tower to get the Reflect Rings you missed in Barrier Tower.

So for a team of Berserker and 3 Bards, is there a better strategy against Sol Cannon than to just let the Berserker go nuts while the Bards hide from wave cannon? I tried to get the bards to inflict stop on SC but it never seems to want to really stick and I've pretty much already resigned to grinding out enough gil for a few Angel Rings.

Mystic Knight*/Red Mage/Ninja/Samurai - Red Mage is gonna be kind of a load later with no real mages to synergize with, I know, but seems really good otherwise? And at least the Red Mage has a few options even if they're not nearly as stellar as "give them a real magic score, give someone with a real magic score !Dualcast" - rod-boosted scroll !Throws, dual-wielding rods for getting rod boosts on breaks, Power Staff wielder for the bosses Berserk works well on... Katanas not being spellblade-OK is probably the only other disappointment. (*job faired a reroll from Summoner, because it's so drat good but I've had it both my previous Fiestas)

      Sword Dance with the chicken knife was doing 9999 damage, so between being an elixirbot Butz was occassionally doing dance on the part that was causing the most trouble. I managed to kill the Almagest part just before it went off, then the physical damage part because who cares about grand cross when everyone is wearing ribbons, then finally got to use the magic lamp. This was a VERY grindy run, but still pretty good. Dancer can be very strong, I don't care what the haters say.

Goddamn, chaos is treating me well. Red Mage/Ninja/Samurai/Chemist. I'm looking forward to having two dual-wielding physical classes to brute force my way through random encounters. I'm looking even forwarder to abusing mechanics fuckery to cheese all the boss fights. I read the !Mix effortpost linked in the OP, and it's very helpful, but I've never actually used chemist before (fiesta or otherwise). What store-bought materials do I want to prioritize getting lots of? Do I want to grind out a turtle shell stockpile before leaving World 1?

 Bowzerker is one of my new favorite things. Especially with Hermes Sandals. Watching Lenna pop out ~3000 shots every couple of seconds is very cathartic after the nightmare that was 4zerk Liquid Flame. ...I suppose !Rapidfire Chicken/Sasuke Ninja is kinda cool too. Not even as cool as Titan/Rune Zerk, though, never mind my precious Bowzerker.

Somehow managed to eke a win on Byblos with Monk/Monk/Knight/Berserker by having him never cast Protect. Didn't even need to dry his MP out.

Second run is Mystic/Zerk/Geomancer/Bard. Guess I get to equip harps axe it. Shame about the geomancer. Oh well. I don't mind the job, it's just dull and not good.

OK, time for Team Zerker to go through Ronka and get my last two jobs (Samurai and Dancer). ...Wait, Archeoaevis' last phase is undead, isn't it? I should probably go get non-Sickle weapons for that. *goes to grind up a quick 10k or so for some Jachol weapons*

I don't suppose I can take Omega and Shinryu with Berserker/Berserker/Samurai/Dancer, can I? Not without a level of luck beyond me for all eternity. One of these years I'll open with a triple crown. ...Granted, I could've probably done it last year since my opening team had Bard. I was just lazy.
