Ornamented Death posted:Nah, they can get any type of blade. I've got Boreas (a healer) and Electra (a tank) on Rex, and Nia has Dagas and Azami (both DPS), and was the one to originally get Electra. I 'm still only on chapter 3 and found having Boreas on Rex really useful since Nia has Finch. Whenever she's not doing her job as healer I just switch to the fat blob and save the day. Seems the only reason to keep every drivers blade the same role is to eliminate micromanagement during battle.

It also gives them significant stat buffs that makes them better at that role. And TNK Blades are worthless if you have another character also drawing aggro since so many of their abilities only work if they're being targetted.

You are supposed to accept it, then go to a place but the place won't activate for me. I've gathered that it's because Morag left my party temporarily, and she was in the cut-scene for the earlier stage of the quest. The game should refuse to let you take the merc mission in this case instead of bug itself out.

The cutscene didn't make it clear and frankly they're kicking my rear end. You have to fight and beat them. It took me three or four tries. What ultimately worked wast switching in the new tank, focusing on the female as she does more damage, and having Rex hang back for a few seconds right at the start because whatever the gently caress she does that knocks you in the air just automatically kills you apparently.

You gotta fight them normally, I focused on the non-tank one first but you gotta watch out because the tank has a taunt that'll screw your targeting up

I want to get that blade from the sidequest before I go back to the fight. edit 2: the guaranteed Legendary Core Crystal from the area at the end of act 3 gave me a loving 3* common even though it had two rares and one common showing as the "option" popups beforehand

The gacha game for rare cores is real, real dumb and combined with needing specific field skills, and lots of those field skills, is not good.

Do unique monsters drop unique loot of any sort? I tried fighting that unique driver guy on the way to the old factory, but between him being on a catwalk and all my party members committing suicide, him being really, really tough for his level, and a wandering level 80+ goddamn bird, I gave up....and the dumb bastard ran off the catwalk and died. So if he dropped a unique accessory, I missed it.

That gives a pretty noticeable boost to Loyalty every time (and doesn't have any cost and can even make them go faster if the blade has the optional mission skills) I deleted all my extra non-rare blades like 30 min before I found out about merc missions because I thought I was about to hit a limit I’ve got like 20+ crystals saved up for the char at the beginning of Ch 5 though, who I should be getting tonight

Does anyone know how to unlock all four bonuses in Tiger! Tiger! ? One is no-hit which is just points so that only matters for Poppi affinity and one is exiting the stage with all treasure which is a bug lump of ether crystals. What are the other two?

How important is auto-attack for a tank? I got this chip that significantly increases auto-attack and wasn't sure which character to put it on. For my DPS blades, it significantly decreased crit chance (from like 25% to 16%) while more than doubling auto-attack, and for Tora it reduced block from 37% to 32% while doubling his auto-attack. I wasn't sure if the 5% change in block chance was worth doubling his auto-attack damage. The only option without much of a trade-off was Dromarch, who more than doubled his auto-attack while only lowering crit chance from 5% to 4%, but I'm not so sure it's a good idea to increase the healer's damage that much. I'm leaning towards Tora, with the idea that the increased damage and aggro from doubling his auto-attack will make up for the 5% decrease in block chance. 8-bit Miniboss posted:A friendly reminder do get your vendor deeds when you can. I just got one that can let me hold 15 Blade booster items along with things like 5% increased run speed, 10% less terrain damage, etc. How do you know when you can get them? I've tried buying one of each item from shops (aside from the one with the side quest near the beginning) and only one gave me a deed. I'm guessing it's related to whether they're selling their full stock due to development level, but how do you know if that's the case?

You sadly dont. The best way seems to just be “progress the story till you can buy gold canisters, salvage with those until you hit 5 star development, buy all the stuff. “ although apparently some stores also require merc quests to unlock stuff?

Most. Pink merc missions usually unlock stuff in stores (or are blade sidequests). More open up the higher the dev level is.

Tora might benefit more from chips that benefit his teammates though, or something that increases qualities for Poppi. Tora's main offense is through whatever combos he can start so maybe give the autoattack to someone else, since whenever you or the AI plays Tora, the focus is on his aggro Art and his shield Art. When you draw aggro and shield, you ain't doing autoattacks. Right now I have a chip like this on Nia since she attacks very fast and I constantly cancel them into more Arts, so consider giving that chip to her or someone with a quicker attack that depends on DPS.

Theres a trio boss fight in ch6 right after you get the omega fetter that I cant figure out. Lots of big aoe damage and one of them has a huge aoe heal. It sucks that they kept the "revives use the chain gauge" mechanic from the first game, because it means I can't risk using chain attacks at all.

Ugh I'm only missing one Confusion Ivy at this point so I was thinking of just finding it but after another 20 minutes of walking around it just. Won't. Spawn. I feel like I'm harping a lot on a game I don't actually dislike but these sidequests really just do not feel good to do. I wanted to just clear out of the ones I actually started and then focus on the story but drat that last fuckin' Confusion Ivy.
