EOIII Questions thread

Just a couple for those whom have already played the game. I just got it today and probably won't be able to play until after work. I only managed to have a brief look so far, though I've had a plan for my team ideas for a little while.

1. Is the Monk supposed to not equip a weapon? Seems to me like their attack becomes much lower if unarmed...which is odd...

2. When a Beast Master summons a creature, is it like a one-shot attack (like a Breath of Fire Summon), or does in replace them in combat (like a FFX summon). I've heard its the former, and then they subsequently add a property to basic attack, but if someone could clarify that would be nice.

Everyone else is welcome to use this thread to save space after I've finished my incessant nattering.

Lv70, Fist Mastery Lv10 yields around 398~ish ATK when unarmed.

This is insane.

4. The chasers aren't directly targeting the enemies, so that might be why it's considered a different kind of skill.

What part of the boss are you having trouble with?

If it's its most dangerous attack:
[spoiler]The boss will use "Big Earthquake" after it dives. You'll have to hit the right target to force it back out before it uses that attack. Thus, to reliably hit the right target, you should bring characters that have skills that target all enemies or at least multiple targets. The ballista has Thunder Barrage that can hit the boss's weakness and target all enemies. A zodiac can do the same with Thunder Binary Star.[/spoiler]

If you're taking too much damage, then a princess or phalanx could help reduce it. Personally, I got past this battle without those two jobs and only used a monk, a ballista, and a shinobi for healing (the latter 2 did so with items).

If you want to deal more damage, the boss' weakness seems to be [spoiler]thunder. A princess can confer that attribute to normal attacks with Shock Arms.[/spoiler]
