Leraika posted:completed Forbidden run where Bartz is named Exodia Tempest_56 posted:completed run with a full strength Brave Blade. I will double that if you do it without a Knight. I'm a bit bummed I missed the Poque pledge but oh well! Blame Brave Blade, like always. With Cannoneer using Slow Cannon and mostly Needle Cannon (3k for all) that had to be one of the quickest last fights I have ever gotten. Seriously, I think there were like 3 attacks total over the whole thing! For most of the end (including Shinryu) I actually just used Open Fire, where you have a fair chance of a strong Confuse or Death that works on Undead. Even then I was running out of Blitzshot, so I think if I had to do it again I'd buy the other two ammo types (also the Dark Matter version of it is slightly different if you absolutely want a 75% Confuse or Poison instead of Death for some reason). About Omega, see my other post. What's next? Forbidden (which happened to be a Berserker risk) was amusing and all but I want to do a more "casual" Chaos run. So that'll be my third run including the pre-run pledge triple crown I did. Finally, if I have time left I'd like to complete my own again this year and do the Randomizer pledge! I might go back to Forbidden some fiesta if I ever triple crown with the rest of the normal classes.

Rirse posted:Ugh, what a good strategy for the Crystals in World 2? My group is geo, knight, mystic knight, and dancer. I got three reflect rings, so two of them are not a issue, but soon as the water one got mad it single attack did 600 damage where my party max HP is 1000 with no multi heal. I was hoping since it was weak to death that Break Blade would work on it, but that isn't the case. I'll try to add some suggestions to what FreeKillB posted. Go back to Drakenvale and use Tempting Tango on a Poison Eagle to get it to use Float on your party to nullify Earth Shaker from the earth crystal. That leaves the water crystal as your biggest threat, so focus on rushing it down first using FreeKillB's strategy. Every member of your party can equip swords or knives so you could just put drain spellblade on all of them if healing is a problem.

Behold the ultimate cutie patootie killing machine To explain exactly how much damage is stacked on this setup, this is on my hack where berserkers get 3 ability slots, and they can use certain abilities in fight. In this case Krile has two !Dances and an Equip Ribbon, so she'll !Dance 50% of the time. The hack also changes the dancer equipment so it's cumulative, so when she !Dances she has a 75% chance of Sword Dancing Unfortunately I learned Lamia's Tiara isn't a Dancer equipment, so she can't use Equip Ribbons to wear it and boost it to a 100% Sword Dance. Zarick posted:I tried the balance patch someone posted because it seemed like it spiced up some of the jobs that are bad/boring, and it seems neat. Monk is really strong most of the time... !Focus has a 25% chance to cast Rapid Fire. It also seems to have a (somewhat undocumented) chance to just make you waste a party member. Is this on purpose or a bug? I mean it could be on purpose to balance out how wacky Rapid Fire fists are early on but it seemed weird to me. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jyw0adpwrydmzac/ffvamod0.5.1.ups?dl=0 The patch also adds two new changes I was working on (not coincidentally timing with my Fiesta Beastmaster):

Those are some impressive HP values. What was your level at the end? Edit: Huzzah! posted:yeah, the blood sword has like 30% hit chance. 99% of the time its pretty useless, but there are rather rare situations where its good. I had a run where the freelancer had the blood sword, !rapidfire, some way to boost magic stat and that did 4K damage/heal. A Freelancer with Rapid Fire and having mastered one of the magic jobs is absurdly good with the Blood Sword, since its damage isn't halved by Rapid Fire like a normal weapon's would be, and it deals full damage from the backrow to boot. So you have a nearly indestructable tank who hits hard while fully healing herself at the same time. That's obviously not something you'll commonly see in a Fiesta setting though.

It's not the absolute worst party, but it is rather painful for a blind playthrough, since most of these classes require some knowledge of the game mechanics to be useful. In World 2, I'd definitely recommend stealing two or more Flame Rings from Red Dragons. They make some of the tougher fights a lot easier.

The Seal Guardian fight is honestly one of the biggest stumbling points for Mystic Knights, with the other being W2 Exdeath.

Knight/Time/Summoner/White is a fun, but somewhat weird group. Notably, most of the Twelve Weapons are situational at best (Sage Staff aside), but Leviathan is great for White Mage with !Summon, what with the lack of knives and rods to boost anything. Probably the easiest W2 Exdeath I've ever fought, though, and that includes shenanigans with !Mix. Shell, Hastega, Slow (via reflect), Float, and Golem is a very powerful combo. Various Meat Products posted:Goons, I've never played this game before but I'm up to World 2. My party is Thief / Red Mage / Geomancer / Dancer. How hosed am I? World 2 will be a slog, but the Chicken Knife will solve all of your reliable damage woes once you get to W3. Hang in there!

Yay, beat the guardians. I got everyone up in mystic knight to use drain blade and got float. I didn't keep track of the HP on the water crystal, but I was able to heal fast enough with the Mystic Knight (and somehow Geomancer) to kill it. The other three were no issues at all. Also since I had Galuf with the reflect ring and drain blade, I was able to do this in the Exdeath fight. Sadly he still dies (he got knock to 0 by vacuum wave and meteor).

That's a bad enough party that I'd consider heading to the Job Fair if it's your first time. The amount of grinding you're going to need to do to get through the Crystals and then W2 ExDeath might make you never want to play the game again. But if you're determined and you want to get Dualcast, know that the best place to grind AP in W2 is in the basement of Galuf's castle: use Gold Needles on the enemies there and they will die.

dbzfandiego posted:What strategies are there for Purobolos with a Chemist,Berserk, and Thief? What's your third job? Regardless, suck their MP out with Lilith Kiss (Ether + Maiden's Kiss) and they can't do poo poo. Each one only has 100 MP so three mixers can defang them all before they get a chance to act (a Chemist can act twice before the Purobolos act, and Thieves are faster still).

code:
Yeah I know. Here's my tip: find a stable Third Rank → Second Rank loop and lean on it. Second Rank Cleansing → Third Rank Blessing is a fat stack of non-elemental damage then a fat stack of healing. Alternatively, get Flame Rings and use Third Rank Eruption → Second Rank Divine Judgement for more consistent damage. Eruption's HP Leak makes gaming your Predict multiplier impossible, but you'll live. Especially with all that self healing. WTF I GOT CANNONEER IN #FORBIDDEN WHAT DOES THAT DO code:
!Predict (yes, all of !Predict) and Chaos Cannon can bypass Exdeath's phase 1 death script for going from Treedeath to Neo Exdeath if they kill him. These are not counted as valid #victory kills - you must kill Neo Exdeath, so be mindful.
