EOV Rantage!!

My team i'm planning beyond the demo is a bit of a slow burner. I want to try

Fencer(T)/Harbinger(E)/Musarao(T)
Botanist (C)/Rover(C)

Relying extremely heavily on blinds/evasion up/accuracy down

not a great early game or demo setup though. Fencer, Harbinger, and Rover all need specialist skills to make it work.

I might have to change my rover to earthlain though for healing/damage. I don't know how taxed my botanist will end up being on healing. Or if theyll even be free to blind smoking everything. it just doesnt seem right having 3 therians. I dunno.

Tested out the new Earthlain Rover. Turns out Earthlain need more TP. I can only do one or two moves so far before TP runs out. At least I endure FOE at a faster rate.

Is double posting okay? I did a significant rewrite of my B-team and I would like people's thoughts.

New B-Team Arrangement

(Hound)
Celestrian Pugilist - Earthlain Fencer
Earthlain Warlock - Earthlain Botanist - Therian Rover

Here is a comparison with my current A-Team Setup.

(Hound)(Bunker?)
Earthlain Dragoon - Therian Musarao
Earthlain Rover - Brouni Shaman - Celestrian Warlock

Some things double over but it is mainly because of my bias with the Rover class skill-wise. I should have thought of using Rovers initially. I love the Wildling class in EO3 and the Rovers are a significant improvement from that in a really cool way. I wonder if EO3U will make Ninjas and Wildlings use that new third slot instead.

It's unfortunate to hear about your fear. I personally find birds of prey pretty fascinating. That's not the reason I'm going to specialize my Rover in hawks, though. No, that's because theyre another source of blinds on my team. I need all the blinding I can get, haha.

Man, I havent gotten around to it yet because of other... obligations I've had, but I keep thinking about how I need to sit down, gut my level 5 team (because i didnt when I unlocked cross-race) and I wanna just abuse harbinger+musarao for grinding.

I'll let you guys know how well my Celestrian did as a Rover. I don't expect much, but I'm hoping the extra TP means more skills instead of auto attacks, leading to maybe averaging out damage, but getting better passive healing from the better WIS.

Like I said, I'll get around to it before release and post my feelings on if I'll keep them around post-release. Thanks for the confirmation to my fear about Earthlain Rovers!

Lunarians don't do so poorly as Reapers, either. Expensive skills, decent durability, some potential uses for Luck, Wis and Int.

^ Only late in the game. Herbos and Reapos get Fire-element Int-damage through a scythe.

Got through 3F. Primary team's level 10. Everyone else is getting leveled via my a unit on my main team using the Memory Conch.

Right now, just trying to max out my weapons on my main team, possibly change a couple builds too. Want to reset my Rover's skills and max out Animal Therapy because it's stupid good for sustain right now.

Oh yes, I also killed some Owlbeasts. Really, they're less dangerous than Toxicpedes by virtue of not having any poison inflicting capabilities. Granted, Bear Hug hits like a truck, but my Dragoon keeps the front row safe with Line Guard while the back row damage reduction keeps my Rover & Botainst safe (Assuming it doesn't Bear Hug the back row two turns straight).

Also seems gathering is a bit less...worth it money wise shall we say? Even with five earthlain people having the gathering skill, it doesn't seem to do a whole lot for me getting extra loot from gathering points. One extra item at best most of the time. Making it a bit hard to farm money to get all the best upgrades I can right now in the shop before the full version comes out in under a couple weeks.

I feel Etrian Odyssey V is going to be harder than Etrian Odyssey IV. I don't know if it'll be as hard as Etrian Odyssey III though but it does feel like it already. I just need to git gud or something since both of my teams could die to a Toxipede and an Owlbear right now.
