I usually just use reflect ring + bone mail against rugwizard and wait it out if I don't have actual magic damage or spellblade. He'll usually kill himself with reflected spells and drain if he doesn't run out of mp first.

You can't even use Reflect in mobile, right, since he'll counter a reflected Scan with Return?

Omniscient doesn't have access to Libra in mobile. It got replaced with Thunder instead. (Probably a bug fix since he doesn't have access to it in the other versions.) Using Libra on him doesn't do anything either.

Page 32's Banish, but you can also just use the Whip to paralyze him. It lasts awhile since he's not Heavy.

That... I kinda wanna do that for Mikl's toxx. Not sure if Rug Wizard can be done with this but gently caress IT I'LL TRY IT ANYWAY. Might consider a toxx meself concerning Rug Wizard.

You Berserk him and then spam blink.

Unless you're on loving mobile where he counters with return even when berserked for some stupid reason

Yeah, I would go white mage/dragoon into Magic side and give both !White. On the other side, take the berserker and beastmaster and just have the beastmaster on medic duty.

I ain't doin' no version past GBA. Unless PSX is like GBA but on PSX.

Also when you say spam Blink, do you mean "give him Blink" or give yourself Blink.

Nah, you spam it on yourself so whatever physical attacker (like I said, probably the Dragoon) can attack without the risk of getting turned into paste by berserk rugwizard (he melees for about ~2000 damage when berserked, so... yeah).

E: Also "spam" is probably the wrong term; he only has a speed of 26, so the only job he out-races are Beastmasters, Summoners, and Berserkers.

You spam blink on yourself, since Rugwizard's physicals hit like a freight train full of bricks. It just means he can't reset.

So I am doing Mikl's pledge run. I would like to share my runs last year:



As you can see, two runs with a White Mage as my Wind Job and a Berserker as my Water Job. Which means both runs had me using White Mage up to Garula, and then using mostly Berserkers up through Liquid Flame (and in one, through Sandworm.)

And it just occurred to me I get to do it again. :allears:

So I was trying to do something, it didn't quite pan out, but I've got something else for the thread as a result.

For the 2-3 people out there who still have Scribblenauts Unmasked installed, I made a Berserker.

Karlabos with a party of white mages was, uh, interesting.

On the plus side, the ship graveyard was super easy. This is also my first time playing the non-PSX version, so Faris speaking like a normal human being has been a weird adjustment.
