Maxed Bloody Offense increases a row's damage by 50% I think, and the hp cost is negligible. Row switching is free, so the highlander can jump in the back for a turn to get the buff too. Honestly, Bloody Offense and Spear Assist or Delayed Charge is all the highlander needs to do, Bloody Offense bei...

Well, Bushi pretty much needs to be a front row class. The only difference with maining it instead of subbing is you have to deal with pitiful max TP and use their class's TP regen abilities to make up for it, and that you actually use the bushi's skills as your main attacks. Multi-Slash is bad if y...

You can use Change Class in Classic mode to get the same effect as you do in Story, aka "retiring" whilst keeping the character, including their portrait and stat growth from their original class. It's just that the normal Retire function isn't available in Story Mode, so you're stuck with...

Change Class also has the functionality of Retire, so you'll gain extra stat points and extra skill points in addition to changing class. It's not bugged, either; you're probably thinking of how you don't gain the stat growth of the new class? That's on purpose. It does limit ideal options though, y...

My Canadian friends (contact mostly through skype, but I've met them IRL a few times) sound pretty much exactly the same as most people I know in the US do.

But maybe I just don't really pay attention to specific things!

From what I remember, after you've scanned guild cards, you have to keep at least one of them on the list. Best choice would be scanning the card of someone you know to keep that one instead of some random card.

Oh wow, I was trying to think of "classes that function in the back... huh... you already have M, A, an R sub for runes..." and forgot that Fortress still works there. You don't get Guard Mastery or their Enlightenment for TP regen, but you DO get half-damage from the shielding skills, so ...

Surge Mastery is a guaranteed at-least +10% atk boost at max even with full TP, so I/B would be the highest still, right?

The front row is great as-is, either use an S/A or R/B (R/I works too) in the back. Sniper's Eagle Eye is more potent than most debuffs (a physical version of I's Hawkeye, 35% defense debuff, about as good as attack tango) and it can use Arc debuffs too I guess in spare turns to free the A/R's turns...

Well it's either refer to everyone as a guy until corrected or refer to everyone as a girl until corrected, and the general go-to pronoun people use when not knowing (or when one isn't applicable at all) is the male ones anyway >> I guess I could always use gender-neutral options but that'd be a pai...

Sorry, I generally just refer to everyone on the internet as a guy by default unless I already know them ;_; I'll go edit it, though :3

Thing is that she'll be using an Arcanist for status ailments- so, her Nightseeker shouldn't need to bother even leveling them up past prerequisites until it's got spare points. Venom Toss is pretty great for randoms regardless, though (still has almost 100% acc there without Ailment Boost) and can ...

M/F isn't a good idea IMO; Rampart to keep the M alive and strike or element guard would be okay but you're planning on subbing something else as your Medic and an M/F will fall over dead if you use any Ally Shielding skills, which is most of the point of having an F at all. Sniper can do good damag...

I'm not sure having 3 Arcanist classes in the party is really necessary :V If you're using the Arc for status ailments, sub the N for a damage class instead, you'll be able to nearly double the damage it deals instead of making it's throws slightly more accurate. You've got plenty of time to think a...

Ls usually take advantage of Vanguard+Initiative for damage/accuracy boost and going first, especially for links. You could equip boots on it and make sure not to give the N boots, but since N is such a fast class, it probably won't work. Rapiers are also faster than swords, so maybe if you combined...
