Re: EOIII Questions thread

Hmmmmmmmm... Does E. Charge make it only cut HP? I don't know firsthand, but I'm lead to believe that it doesn't since that'd probably have been the cookie-cutter setup instead of Warrior's Might. Or at the very least, SOMEBODY would've figured it out and bragged about it somewhere. Imagine how sic...

Re: Alright let's make Blitz Command work

I don't even know what to do anymore. "Why don't you just shoot him?" keeps coming to mind now, lol.

Re: EOIII Questions thread

i did have a completely unrelated question to builds though! .... what levels should i be aiming for for the start/end of the 5th stratum? what about if im going after the true ending? what about the earlier stratums for new playthroughs? certain side-bosses as theyre accessible? any levels conditi...

Re: EOIII Questions thread

well that was a fun waste of time. If you're interested in the results of my little blitz experiment, I accidentally wound up with an even more gamebreaking setup that made the blitz command user worth less than another buccaneer. Assuming my math is right. It's in another thread. I'm mighty tired n...

Alright let's make Blitz Command work

Righty so I'm back. I tried coming up with a blitz command party that would outdo my very first party, but near the end I hit a very obvious snag. Writeup in the spoiler, train-of-thought style and unedited since I'm sort of disappointed with my results near the end there. My very first playthrough,...

Re: EOIII Questions thread

definitely no shoccaneer build but it..... has a niche place I wouldn't even go so far with the comparison. A straight shogun, no subclass, with 5rs is probably going to be contributing more party-wide damage unless the whole party is built around blitzing. It's a single 135% damage attack off each...

Re: EOIII Questions thread

Nah, farmer's not a great sub for your combat party. If you've literally got nothing else to sub, then sure! It's got an out-of-combat rez and a warp back. Both can be replaced with a few en and a couple of item slots though. Farmers have really good luck which helps them with their debuffs, so taki...

Re: EOIII Questions thread

...maybe? I don't know. Perhaps designating the tiger with Otori on a ninja would let it take more blows. The problem with tigers is: - their stats are fixed, so as the game goes on they're squishier. - It also requires you to take 2 mediocre classes and spend 2 turns to set it up. On random battles...

Re: EOIII Questions thread

Blitz has a lot of problems. It relies on the party members' buffs rather than the casting Shogun, and eats Charge/Etheric Charge should they be using it. Overall its damage is lower than 5-Ring Sword. Have you considered using that instead? I'll compare the S to a G, so you can see the numbers behi...

Re: EOIII Questions thread

You shouldn't have to spread yourself out so thin -- barrages and binaries overlap in role for example, but barrages are cheaper to cast. Just pick one single-target skillset to start with, one aoe skillset, and etheric charge/dark ether. As for your damage woes, I can understand why after seeing yo...

Re: EOII Rantage!

Axcelas are terrible, my post doesn't take them into account. I hope the remaster does something about them or the overly broken Force skills >_> Eh, I'm always pro-choice in single-player games. My playstyle involves never buying a single item if I can avoid it and hard-resetting if I ever lose a ...

Re: EOIII Questions thread

Re: EOIII Rantage!

Real talk: anybody actually like the 3rd stratum music? I swear, it's the only time I mute my ds.

(Um yeah, deleted my data and started a new game a couple days ago, if anyone cares to know. P/H A/G A/G Z/W P/M because I like princess portaits!)
