Dr.Smasher posted:The cutscene after the first trial kinda tells you.  You just need the Super Sword of Light, which everyone has in the postgame. You don't need a new sword of light or the supreme one. In fact, I know the supreme one doesn't work because I used it first and it did nothing. e: Just to clarify for Some Numbers, the "trick" is to use the Super Sword of Light as an item and it will dispel his shield making him weaker.

Yeah there's literally a Watcher in Drustan's Labyrinth where you can zoom to who tells you to "use Super Sword of Light! Win!" Also it's pretty much exactly like what you do in 3 to weaken Zoma but a sword not a ball. Also I just made it to the bottom of the final bonus poo poo in dragon warrior 3 gbc and beat the final hidden boss EAT poo poo GAME

I prefer him with knives to more easily set-up an Erik combo(and be insanely rude to enemies that start off sleeping with persecutter) but that's a fair point I just wish wyrm whip did more damage than none whatsoever

Your Parents posted:Claws loving own dude. Do you understand what a 20%+ crit chance and several attacks that hit 5 times or more means? Claws only get a slight crit advantage over spears and the attack loss isn't really worth it, Jade isn't like Alena who was an unstoppable crit machine Your Parents posted:I literally never put a shield on the MC once. Greatswords all through act 1 and 2 and dual wielding in postgame. also, shields kick total rear end. I've gotten away with some truly boneheaded decisions because the boss' big crit animation did 0 damage. Also dual wielding isn't really that useful unless you're Erik(or you want to give Sylvando more charm) I stopped using greatswords the second I could learn Gigaslash, but that's just personal preference. both work just fine Yinlock fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Oct 20, 2018 |

But spears are more damaging than Claws. It's asking between steady high base damage or rolling the die on the max potential.

The casters outpace him in terms of raw damage but yeah I did rock a 2nd sword to gigaslash fools with for a while which tacked on a couple more damage, that's a fair point. I think it might be a normal-hard difference since a 2nd weapon only gives me a like 40-60 damage boost instead of 150+, unless you're also playing on Hard in which case I'm just bad at video games Yinlock fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Oct 20, 2018 |

Well, I finished the game. I know enough DQ lore to know the name Erdrick, but not much more than that. If the thread hadn't mentioned that the post credits scene is a reference to DQ3, I would've been completely lost. I went Sword and Shield with Hero and Eight for most of the game. Sword Dance and Gyrfalcon Slash have really high damage modifiers and randomly blocking incoming attacks is awesome. I also didn't get any of the Hero's Giga- skills.

Speaking of, what are the best things to duplicate? Belle's Bow isn't bad, Assassin Card, Shield Bearer, Vanguard are all pretty good as they are decent cards by themselves, and if you are trying to max crit/evasion/block/enemy surprise those are the best way to go.

Re: claws - use the ones you steal in the final trial that give like a 10% bonus crit instead of 4% or whatever from the final craftable. At one point I had claws pretty close to spear but I didn't stick with it since it could be streaky at times. It was pretty cool seeing so many crits when the magic happened though.

Commander Keene posted:I'd had a Belle's Bow on Jade at the end of Act 1 simply because it was good, without knowing about the duplication "trick". Also, why would you need to duplicate the school uniforms? You can get enough of them for all of your female party members without duping, IIRC. One from a quest, one from Mini Medals, and one from the Thief's Key door in the Academie, all accessible before the end of Act 1, even. I wasn't trying to duplicate them. I just happened to get more, because I like how they look on Serena and Jade. I play dress up in games that don't give me tons of options like this and XCOM 2 okay.
