Be sure to have shell and protect up at all times during the fight. Give both your mages !throw and your ninja !white and throw lots of scrolls.

Highest was 58 when I did Shinryu grinding for a no750-type team beforehand so I didn't have to run through the void twice.

With my stupid team of Bard, Knight, White, Chemist, I was levels 22-24. Highest was mid-50s when I had a triple berzerker/Time mage team.berenzen posted:

Beat Exdeath in world 2. That was not very fun as every two turns someone died to vacuum wave. Reviving not a issue, as the moment they get a turn they can heal up with the drain blade, but the fact he can use zombie breath and kill half the party and make them zombies was the real lovely part. I only had a single holy water and I don't recall any shops in world 2 selling it.

I was like 32 going into the void, and after getting rolled by necrophob have ground up to 37. It depends on party. My average levels have tended to be in the 26-32 range for NED (not counting extra levels if needed for superbosses). If you have Blue or White Mage you don't need much hp to be in the 'can survive Almagest range', and it can similarly be dealt with by Bard, Chemist, Dragoon, and Mystic Knight. Higher levels will be needed if you don't have any such measures (or if you aren't comfortable relying on shell from a Wonder Rod or a Crystelle catch) and don't have any particularly tanky class.

Hrm, then ive got to be doing something wrong because it feels like everything since the end of world two has some rude instant counter. I gave up on leviathan (I skipped buying coral rings, I know) when it did tidal wave three times in a row and in that time period a single one of my hasted characters got to act.

Yep, if you turn up the battle speed to 1, all it means is that the enemies get to act faster, if you turn it down to 6 they get far fewer actions. I usually keep it set at 5, enough that you aren't waiting around forever for an enemy to take an action if you need to do something to sync up attack (magissa for example), but low enough that you're not getting 1 set of actions per 2-3 enemy actions. Changing the battle speed does nothing for your own ATB bars.

Can Of Worms posted:Bug is fixed now! Download the updated patch here. Apply to a clean ROM, not a patched ROM. You can continue the game off this, although you may need to load an in-game save instead of a save state. I downloaded this to try it, and none of the jobs are unlocked at the start. The mod seems to be working cause I have the hero class. Edit: wait, does the jobs mod not unlock the jobs like the fiesta patch? I might just be confused.

(Initial Earth job was Samurai, but apparently #fifthjob decided I needed to be able to break the game harder.) I sure hope that lovely NED victory pic is good enough for Gilgabot.

In the meantime, I just finished my run Ran balance mod through the paces to discover some amusing glitches, like the !Focus Rapidfire effect transferring to other abilities (Sword Dance and Mug, notably.) The new Blitz Whip was pretty fun, although I ended up making my Beastmaster into a second Dancer with Sand Bears/Iron Backs as my main release since Monk provided most of the support. I ended up building Krile into a Rune Axe Sword Dancing murder machine which was pretty satisfying (and the Sword Dance Rapidfire bug made her absolutely terrifying ) She did save my bacon with a clutch NED kill though! (see screenshot below.) Going to be doing a 750 Extra Spicy run next, since this run felt very no750. Can Of Worms fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Jun 26, 2018 |

Either go for broke on offense with Flare Sword Rapidfire plus Dance plus Apollo, or have three Zombies with Reflect Rings with the Bard Hiding and let Shinny Atomic Ray himself to death (very slowly).

Here's another Forbidden Exodia for the pile. Except I was a dumbass who forgot to void a job before I went in. It was Samurai, who in the final fight had identical gear to and was using !Combine just like my Cannoneer, but I'm gonna go redo it anyways. I need Omega, after all.

Run 2: Chaos: Ninja / Chemist / Geomancer / Dancer Decent synergy team, the two weak links were made bearable by the better classes; Geo liked being a Throwbot and Dancer appreciates both Dual-Wield and !Drink for nearly-free HP Doubling and early game Haste. Starting on a Pure Chaos run, got Blue Mage and Freelancer so far. We'll see what Fire is tomorrow, I got sleep (and then work) to get to soon.

Having a blue mage, it's pretty funny going into a boss fight and going "I wonder if lvl 5 Death/Deathclaw works" and then having it work way more then you realize. I'm a little confused by dark spark though. Shouldn't it be lowering the enemies stats (minus hp)? I cast it on enemies and I feel like they're still dealing/taking the same amount of damage.

duck trucker posted:Having a blue mage, it's pretty funny going into a boss fight and going "I wonder if lvl 5 Death/Deathclaw works" and then having it work way more then you realize. Monsters have a pre-set attack multiplier that they use for most attacks. Monster magic multiplier is affected by their level, and thus Dark Spark, though it's the usual (level*mag)/256 + 4 deal.

Did a second run, chaos this time, and got Geo/Knight/Monk/Samurai. At first, I was dreading the worst after getting Geomancer. I had never gotten it in the fiesta before and anytime I used it while playing casually I had plenty of other options to lean on. It ended up being pretty handy overall, I used the fiesta patch so I had access to it from the word go, and !Gaia ended up really helping out with some of the bosses I was dreading. It also helped out with making grinding a breeze, since between the first three classes I had to rely on items for healing I decided to make sure I was leveled... and had 4 Flame Rings.... and had a small stash of Elixirs. I may have overdone it a bit with the grinding. Also if this is still ongoing Tempest_56 posted:Alright, time. I failed my Risk run last year so: I have to admit, it was pretty fun actually having someone attack and deal 5k damage without any real setup. I have no idea if I'm going to try for Omega and Shinryu though. A part of me doesn't want to deal with Omega, but I want to see if there is anything I can pull off.

So what can a Cannoneer do to Omega? My understanding is that the Combines are auto-hit with a flat 75% status proc which isn't affected by any evades. Is that right? But they don't go through immunities, right? So all I can do is slow him and stop him? Shin should be no problem with both berserk and blind.

It'd be nice if I could grab the emulator's current framerate so the realtime count is accurate, but eh. Now to test it against other monsters, at different zoom levels, add in the SNES memory offsets, have the clock only display if the enemy is under HP Leak and a party member is Quicked...

Combines that cause a status effect he is immune to don't get countered. So slow him and use mini or some other shot that goes uncountered to pile up damage. If you have reflect up by some means, you can switch to thunder or needle cannon when he's reflecting search on himself. Shin can also be slowed to just hilariously trivialize him further, and will likely be a no damage fight if you have multiple !combine users to pile all that on immediately.
