Today, I defeated Calasmos. On the second attempt, that is. So after going through all the effort to create a second, stronger Sword of Light, I need to switch to the old, weak version in order to weaken the boss. I'm sorry, but that is just STUPID. Had a good time apart from that, though.

It felt like the halved attack on the second weapon resulted in neglible damage on most tough enemies, so I never used it ot anyone except Erik, since he gets the skill for full attack with the second weapon. Two-handed weapons generally felt more powerful. Actually, now that I'm basically done with the game it feels like a good time to find out what's considered good skills/line-ups. I mostly used sword/shield on the Hero. Briefly switched to two-handers in Act 2, after getting a party member that actually had shield skills, but switched back once i realized the sword of light was one-handed. The fact that the ultimate skills for one-handed swords hit ALL enemies, while the ultimate skills for two-handed swords only hit a group made the one-handed swords feel more useful, even though the damage is a bit less. Erik started with a dagger, so I stuck with that, eventually adding dual wielding. His damage seemed to fall short in the late game, due to the lack of skills that boost dagger attacks. The 6x damage on enemies with statuses is huge, but bosses rarely felt vulnerable to that. Didn't even consider whips for Veronica, she seemed like a pure spellcaster. Serena switched to spears pretty quickly, since I felt like she needed to do useful amounts of damage when I didn't need healing. Eventually switched back to wands in the late game, when I actually used her for healing. Sylvando seemed like an obvious candidate for whips, since i already had people with swords and daggers. Generally felt like more useful for utility than damage. Jade ended up with claws, since I already had a spear user. Rab stuck with heavy wands, since those boosted both his healing and his damage. Primarily used him as a healer for bosses, and as damage for regular enemies. Kinda found his single-target damage to be lacking, since it felt like most bosses had big dark resistance. Hendrik starts with a two-handed sword, but the combination of actually having shield skills and immediately having a big scene where recieves an heirloom shield made me switch him to sword/shield (while switching the Hero to two-handers). Switched him back to two-handed swords when I switched the Hero back to one-handed. Line-up-wise, I switched Veronica for Sylvando after I got him, and substituted both him and Serena for Jade and Rab after Octagonia. Rab seemed like the earliest source for party-wide healing with Right as Rain (I hadn't focused Sylvando's skills towards Hustle dance), and then he stuck around forever due to being a combination of offensive spells and healing. Erik and Jade covered physical damage prett well, although neither of them added much more than that. I mostly stuck with this line-up after that. In act 2, Hendrik replaced Erik as my main physical damage dealer. When I eventually tried Erik again, his damage felt underwhelming in comparison. Jade stuck around until the Trial of the Luminary and Calasmos, when I felt like I needed two dedicated healers to stay alive. jesus that was a lot of words I just typed
