What's the secret to the 4th stratum boss? As soon as he changes I seem to totally out of options on what to do as my one runemaster shoots off all her TP I had almost won, but only doing like, 12 damage per character really wasn't doing it. My team is Bushi(Nightseeker)/Dancer(Sniper)/Nightseeker(Bushi) Medic(Fortress)/Runemaster(Arcanist)

I think I bugged the 4th boss somehow. He was head bound and paralyzed when he tried to switch away from ice, and after that he never tried to switch elements again. He'd just occasionally hit 2 of my guys for 100 damage or all of them for 15 damage. I was ~48 so I wasn't grossly overleveled or anything. The guest party member was the only one who really did any damage to him.

Yeah, my head bind stuck until he had red health. Never switched out of original form.

It seems you can only have one arcanist. Should I sub my nightseeker or my sniper as arcanist?

How do you make the item that lowers encounter rate? It seems like the quest involving chasing around cuff links requires one.

Alright, I'm about to retire my party and do the New Game+ thing and I figure I might as well get some feedback. What I'm looking at is an Imperial, a Bushi, a Fortress, a Sniper and an Arcanist. The Sniper's gonna have a sub of Arcanist and the Arcanist a sub of Medic, but otherwise I'm still not set on them, so I'm curious what people would suggest on the Imperial, Bushi and Fortress?

The NPC you're given is the key to the fight, since he can hit all 4 weaknesses for huge damage. DalaranJ posted:It seems you can only have one arcanist.

LornMarkus posted:Alright, I'm about to retire my party and do the New Game+ thing and I figure I might as well get some feedback. Runemaster, Bushi, and Landsknecht are the best subs for Imperial (Land is a distant third). Bushi can go with a bunch of different things, basically anything with some offensive oomph is good. Fortress is probably best sticking with Dancer for dodge or Landsknecht for pure defense, although Runemaster is an interesting option defensively.

Just beat the 3rd Maze boss, and loving the emergent narrative that came out of the end of that fight. Both my party and the boss were hanging on by a thread with no TP or Burst available, when my Sniper picks up an Ice Stake and launches it straight into the Lizard's eye, killing it. And for her trouble she gets a bow that shoots fire. Also wasn't quite expecting the 4th Land to be what it was. And while it was obvious to anyone that Whirlwind was clearly suspicious and an antagonist, I didn't expect him to be a knight of the Empire, though in hindsight the hints were pretty blatant.

Fortress is probably best sticking with Dancer for dodge or Landsknecht for pure defense, although Runemaster is an interesting option defensively. Yup, Landsknecht is what I'd been using for my Fortress currently but while she can definitely take a hit like a champ she was coming up slower than most of the things I was fighting until I dropped her Boots for a Velocity Choker. So Dancer seems a suitable pair-up, especially since I could probably throw some dances into her repertoire too. Runemaster for Imperial also sounds pretty good. Didn't use one at all, main or sub, in my first party so it'll be a nice change even if I probably won't bother with any of the actual Runes. Let's see then . . . so if I wanted to avoid any more overlap, probably Landsknecht or Nightseeker for the Bushi, which pretty much comes up to "a balance of offense and defense" or "murder-time, fun-time."

The White Dragon posted:Well, not if they're subbed to a Nightseeker and a Sniper, neither of which will ever actually cast a Circle Yup, my Sniper had and will probably continue to have only Effect Boost and TP Return from Arcanist. And so did my Nightseeker back when she was subbing Arcanist instead of Bushi.

There's still all kinds of useful stuff in the arcanist skill tree that aren't circles. Tame Ground, Bracing Walk, Warding Mist, Charm Eye, Atrophic Eye, TP Return, Releasal Spell, and Ailment Boost are all excellent skills, and TP Return and Ailment Boost in particular are incredible on Nightseeker and Sniper. MotU posted:What's a good build for an Imperial/Runemaster, ~level 60 with a retirement at 50? 1+ in each elemental drive, 1+ in Ignition, maxed out passive damage boosts, max Absorber, max Drive Mastery. After that, points to taste.

I swear to God this game is going to make my 3DS short circuit due to palm sweat. Every single boss fight I seem to do something just stupid the last 3 turns and barely squeak by.

Okay, less and more serious: what are some ways I can get Petrify? I gotta petrify a FOE to get its conditional drop and I have no idea where to start. Also, are there any more places I can get Formaldehyde? I only have like one left; I'm okay with conditional-killing normal dudes and FOEs, but bosses? Hahaha no.

Well, that's a dick move, game. It respawns the third stratum boss when you approach from the final dungeon teleporters, and then prevents you from shattering the master scale behind the boss.

Man, the Imperial's sky skill that lets you reuse food nodes randomly is pretty funny, I got 7 uses out of a single bird node earlier. If only it proc'd that much on those super rare food spawns...

Sorry if this has been asked before. I just got to the 3rd level of the 3rd stratum which dead ended very quickly. There were some Mystics there who said the were going off somewhere and I assume I need to follow but wasn't really paying attention  Where do i need to go? I've been to the frozen lake dungeon but didn't see anything to do there.

Word of god (the leadership on these games) says they created the game with only five party slots so you'd always feel like you were missing something with the other classes, and I really feel like I'm missing a ton with my current team, especially with the imminent recruitment of Arcanists. I really want to work a Dancer and Arcanist into my current party, but not lose the durability it currently has. I could definitely use more damage. To put it in perspective, I still can't, at level 18, beat those god damned kangaroos on the world map. My current party is F: N / F / L B: S / M I'm just now noticing that my rows make acronyms. Any suggestions on good combinations that are similar in damage and tanking? Some kind of broken build I'm not aware of?

Once you unlock subclassing you really don't feel like you are missing anything. At least I don't.

At least until respawn, which I think takes 7 days.

Jesus. I just tried fighting the boss on the second level of the Lush Woodlands and he wiped the floor with me. I'm level 10, got L/F/N M/S, and couldn't get a single blind or armbind off the entire fight. What do I need o do?

The biggest thing that helps is to have your fortress burst guard order immediately then follow with a strike guard. Once that's in place you can start spamming blind/armbind and hopefully get him very managable. The only thing to watch out for is his supercharge attack (which is after 2 turns, not one?) but as long as you have your defenses up you should be a-ok. I had a little trouble getting blind to stick for too long but I got a few turns of it going, at least. Edit: I was running D/F/N R/S no medic party is working so far!

Does the 5th stratum get interesting? After I ended up back in the previous dungeon my motivation almost all but dried up and I'm just kinda unimpressed. It doesn't help those venomflys and blood kangaroo's are the most obnoxious thing in the game so far.
