Yep, and yep. As I thought about things more, it made more sense for most situations to just spam Virus since it has virtually no charge time. I'd be able to fire that off a bunch of time compared to a Bahamut or Leviathan, and probably do the same if not more damage with Virus.

Probably should've just stuck with Porom, all things considered. Oh, well...we survived without me TOTALLY embarrassing myself :honked:

Bio has a base power of 128. Megaflare has a base Spell Power of 480.

Bio has a cast time of "0", while Megaflare has a cast time of "3." So I think it comes roughly to you can get three Bio casts in one Megaflare cast, so effectively 384 Spell Power. Which is 100 less than Megaflare. Unless Rydia is doing 3,333 or more damage per Bio than Megaflare is superior DPS. Granted, Bio is better than pretty much every other summon in terms of ST damage, but that's not what most summons are for.

Bio is kind of busted, unless you're hitting a weakness it's better DPS than the -ga spells.

Of course, if Rydia knows Flare then you've got a 400 Spell Power instant cast spell. Which handily beats out Megaflare.

But there were so many multi-enemy sloggy fights at the end, plinking away with basic attacks for five rounds. I was begging for a summon every now and then.

Not to say it wasn't a fun run! But yeah, you completely missed any Cecils, Rosa, or Fusoyas. A darn shame.

I mean, yeah that's true, I was speaking strictly Single Target.

Professor Duck is far too conservative with his MP imo.
