gently caress I was just looking to see what the spread of rng blade types was from core crystals and came across what has to be a massive spoiler. gently caress what the hell is wrong with people who make wiki lists.

Nia is a blade (no idea when in the game this relates to)

Good god some of these side quests are long . Just finished the one to get Vess and I swear it had over a dozen steps . Happy to FINALLY get a rare blade with lightning tho, gonna throw her on Nia along with my newly well-fed and pimped out Boreas (who is godlike now with all his affinity stuff maxed , I feel like it's impossible to die)

Thanks, glad it's apparently not a huge deal. I was kind of wondering from the bizarre end to the hot springs scene but ruled it out because she has dromarch and other blades

Do you like Finch on that character, I also opened Percival and I have finch on Nia (which I've never used obviously). I'm thinking about using an overdrive to move finch over but she seems kind of meh

It's insanely dumb how stingy they are with overdrives

morags best layout is brighid, her other story blade and perceval but kasandra and finch are really good picks too. haven't gotten the other fire tank to test them, since a later ability lets you disengage story blades

you also get five extra overdrives eventually

Dagas is my new favorite blade to run around with because when the party members comment on inane poo poo like "It's morning!" and "We've finally arrived!" he just says "Who cares"

blades are a neat idea and fun in actual combat but everything about their gacha system from concept to execution is bafflingly awful. this is probably my favorite series that I would never recommend to anyone I know

Ya I really don't think this is a "good game", but also I want to keep playing it. And then I complain really loudly at the lovely choices they make like making me start a sidequest for a full hour then not letting me finish it because I don't have the right skills. The battles are fun and the world looks cool but just so many stupid things

mysterious loyall X posted:

I thought more attack would give bigger smashes so you wanna smash with Master Rexrex

Finch isn't bad at all. His default stat boost gives a LOT of agi and he has high block, his passives block statuses and give more aggro. The character has a good moveset with hammers too

How do I get the break/topple/launch/smash chain going anyways? Right now I have uhh Topple on Rex, Launch on Nia, and Break & Smash on the 4th character. She never switches blades over to Smash in time to do so after Nia launches them ..... Do I need to just slow down and wait to hit Topple til the Break bar is almost out? Or put some "fast switch cooldown" aux on the blade that has Smash?

edit: actually I'm not really sure now if the fast switch cores decerease the cooldown switching TO the blade they're equipped on or FROM the blade they're equipped on 👀

I give beta scopes to the other two which lets them break all the time, then overclocking bangle on Rex which allows fast blade switch. Any hammer gives Rex launch and Roc has smash. With this I can smash like every 15 seconds.

I beat the game before I got KOSMOS. I don't remember any merc missions that require light, just a few that had it as a speed boost.
