Levantine posted:Rudolph is no slouch either if you have him. His traps are awesome utility on tougher maps, but he has an ability called Straight Shot which fucks. He can also put enemies to sleep with high damage arrow shots after promotion. I haven't messed with Archibald much unfortunately because his movement is so low. But since his shots do more damage at range he's kind of amazing if you can get him into position with the Quietus that lets you move anywhere within like 8 squares.

Anna and Hughette are definitely S-tier... I find that Roland is way too fragile for a front-line character, though, even with defense upgrades. AOE magic is really good, especially if combined with Now! so they can light up the same group of enemies twice in a row. So far, only one close call (Chapter 9 Desert Ambush) where I used up all of my pellets and ended up with only Anna, Hughette, Benedict and Frederica standing. Definitely seeing some flaws but every game has those.

even if Anna's damage drops off, she can inflict poison and sleep status, use various items, move around really well with Surmount... I like using Twofold Turn on her so she gets four actions. I have used her and Hughette in every story battle.

If you've done all of an optional character's character stories and your endgame is against the nation they're connected to, they have unique in-battle dialogue that gives them closure to their B-plots... More depth and replay value for my dumb completionist rear end.

Natural 20 posted:Mage weapons do not affect spell power, but top tier weapon upgrades give everyone the chance for a new skill. I didn't go that deep on it but I did use Ezana's ultimate with Ezana, Julio's +2 TP, and then the Quietus in a similar manner; only once per battle, though. It saved me in the fight with Minister Kamsell at The Source since it managed to paralyze the annoying mages on the other side long enough to kill them off.

Echophonic posted:So what's the deal with recruiting Jens? I have the requisite Morality since I have Julio, Narve, and Hossabarra. I've read there's a requirement regarding upgrades, but I've farmed up quite a few and I've read of people getting them in Ch5. Is the source I'm looking at wrong? Jens needs 450 Morality. The others you listed have lower requirements for that stat.

I do like the leveling system a lot. Vandal Hearts did it similarly. I'm not using Frederica or Benedict in my current run but I know if I New Game+ this, I'll want to push their levels up before the end of the game so the first battle of NG+ won't be impossible.

Prowler posted:Don't forget: It's not just ability gating. Promoting units also increases stats, as well as TP limit. Hossabara had a special line when I promoted her to Cure Knight, so I think most or all of the unlockable characters say something when you upgrade their weapon or promote them.

Flanagan is solid at this too... have been using Aerial Assault into a crowd then fly back to the group for safety. Really great since they also have the -1 TP ability on using it. I'm still not into Roland even though I'm forcing myself to use him on this playthrough.

Lionel is definitely lower-tier but fun to use because of how he talks poo poo while doing it... berserking mages and then dealing extra damage to foes with a status ailment (like berserk) is his niche. the extra money is nice but becomes less important once Medina gets her ability to get extra healing pellets from picking up spoils.

Act Twice and Fire Arrow are solid uses of TP for her. Almost at the end of Run 2. Run 3 is the one where I force myself to use Jens and Piccoletta (and Groma if she shows up)... could be grim!

mandatory lesbian posted:Decoy is real good, piccoletta owns eh... I'm finding her less useful than people have said she would be. half of the time the AI just ignores her decoy and attacks my party, or it gets blown up in one hit. When it explodes it only does like 40 damage. Or the decoy retreats toward the rest of my party resulting in an AOE spell hitting other people. and then have to wait another 2 turns before being able to put another decoy out. Ball Toss is the most worthless 1 TP ability in the game. If Picoletta could hit harder or her racket had more than 1 range, or if she had speed on par with Anna and Hughette, then I could her having more utility, but as it is she's still on the bottom tier for me, below Lionel. The only use I've had for her is using the decoy to grab spoils that dropped too far out of the way.

Yeah I'm definitely not underleveled if I'm getting 2-4 EXP with each action I take. Piccoletta is just not very good. Tried putting the decoy two squares in front of a character? Enemy archers completely ignore it and shoot Medina in the face twice. Put the decoy in the marketplace in Wolfort town to pull enemies away from the stairs in Chapter 7? Nope, they ran right for the stairs. They only go for the decoy when they can get a back attack or followup but you can't control the direction the decoy faces. Novasol posted:Lionel, for that matter, is insanely good. I still don't get it when people think he's bad, being able to effectively shut down choice targets from long range and draw them into your killzone is incredible.   "Haha! Yes!"

Ezana is great especially since she can buff herself AND another caster (Narve)'s lightning spells at the start of a fight. Problem I hit late game is that her full screen lightning hit rate was down to like 36% against higher evasion units like cavalry. Keeping her going becomes Medina or Julio's full time job. Frederica has KO TP+ and also can synergize with Medina's ability to toss oil jugs around. Corentin I liked the least of the mages. Ice Walls were fun for a bit but faded in value outside of chokepoint maps like the Whiteholm Bridge. Silence was outstanding, though. I do want to try his combo setup with Giovanna when I unlock her ice ability in NG+.

I think the way Booker is pulling off his gloves in his portrait indicates that he's involved in fine super dirty poo poo. Exharme isn't necessarily bad, at least in what I've seen. He just thinks he should be protagonist, similar to Dragan.... he knows the goddess stuff is shady and wants to change Norzelia for the better much in the way Serenoa does, but wants it to be on his terms and without taking the risks Serenoa does. Hence the civil war with Tenebris in the Morality epilogue

Prowler posted:Anyone know how Rite of Thunderstorms calculates accuracy? There are several variables to check, but it seems directly correlated to enemy dodge. Just to test it out, I gave her a spice to increase her accuracy; it didn't appear to increase the hit rate for any of her targets. It seems based on Ezana's level or magic stat vs. target level or magic defense stat. I was using the Rite to grind spoils/coin in the level 10 tavern fight because she would always miss least one, which let Lionel go through to pick up all the bags. Once I hit a higher level (31 or so?) the hit rate reached 100% on all targets so I couldn't do it there anymore.

Natural 20 posted:On NG+ the merchant restocks at the same rate he does in the normal game. So midway through you should have enough to upgrade everyone to tier 3 weapons. Additional superior crafting materials show up later on in the run. Typically you'll be able to upgrade everyone with at least one rank of their level 3 abilities through NG+ and deep enough in get some to 2 ranks of level 3. (There are also tavern missions that let you access them) Also in NG+ each of the wandering merchants in Exploration segments will have Superior materials stocked, which are separate from Lionel's stock, so it's easy to have plenty if you have the coin!

Giovanna was insanely powerful when I did New Game+ female-only playthrough. On a whole bunch of maps, I gave her the "move first accessory," had her move enough to proc Trekking for TP. Then on her next turn, her gauge was full and she unleashed Gaia's Roar. Had Medina item her, used the TP-up quietus, and she was able to Gaia's Roar again on her 3rd turn. This took out about half a dozen units in the bridge fight and basically the whole right side of the map in the Source fight. So yeah, Giovanna takes effort, but of all the "takes effort" characters, I think she has the best payoff.

100YrsofAttitude posted:So I have 3 units left to recruit Milo, Cordelia, and Avlora and I’d like to stockpile the necessary material to upgrade their weapons once I get them. I can’t find info on how much is strictly necessary. Anyone know off hand how much upgrades rise in cost or do I need to try to get 99 of everything? Milo's weapons use Fiber-type materials to unlock abilities. She needs Spider Silk to get her Level 2 weapon and Exotic Flower for Level 3. Cordelia's weapons use Stone-type materials to unlock abilities. She needs Crystal to get her Level 2 weapon and Exotic Flower for Level 3. Avlora's weapons use Iron-type materials to unlock abilities. She needs Silver to get Level 2 weapon and Electrum for Level 3. For each of the Level 1 abilities, you need 2 of the basic material listed above, then 6, then 10, then 10+1 Quality, then 15+1 Quality, a total of 43 basic material plus 2 Quality. For Level 2 abilities, it's 2 Quality, then 6, then 10, then 10 plus 1 Superior, for a total of 28 Quality and 1 Superior for the row. Avlora needs another 15 Quality and 1 Superior because she has a fifth unlock in her 2nd row. Level 3's first ability is 2 Superior, then 10 Superior if you really want the 2nd one. Not sure how many Exotic Flowers you get per playthrough but if you have to choose, Milo's is more valuable.
