One thing I want to note after 3 runs in a row that had Rangers, Yoichi's bow's high crit rate makes it the best bow once you get rapid fire. If one character is using the chicken knife and you need something else to use, Yoichi's bow will do either good damage or possibly hit up to 4 crits which I found to be doing slightly less or better damage than other bows. Plus compared to chicken knife row doesn't matter. None of the other bows seem to compare.

Artemis Bow is good specifically for NED if you don't have an easy solution for Almagest; it deals effective damage to that part.

True, more of my point is for general purposes of doing damage in nearly every other situation, whether it's other bosses or just for making any grind faster. Not hard to switch bows as neccesary of course, against NED it's worth using Dark bow against the physical form to blind it. I'm mostly just saying this because enkibot undersells how useful Yoichi's Bow is for clearing things.

This is done by having one reflected character become a zombie outside the fight, enter the fight and !Hide someone/everyone else. Shinryu will eventually die to reflected Atomic Rays. It sure doesn't feel legit but it's one of the coolest non legit ways to beat a superboss I've ever seen.

W2 exdeath down. The hardest part was farming him for Doom and L3 Flare for my blu. l2 old and Wind Knife Aeroga trivializes that fight in such a hillarious manner, once you phase transition him all his physical attacks do 0 damage and his spells hit for 350 - 700. I think I'm just going to go for basic completion this run, not Omega/Shinryu. I've got a gameplan for both, but it's not optimal/ideal. (BLU/RDM/BST/DRG, calm spam + 1k needles for Omega, berserk Rod + Mighty Guard for Shinryu)

Sneaky Wombat posted:I don't think the last job could have been worse. You could have 4 zerkers. Edit: For what it's worth, Knight zerker has pretty reasonable synergy. Lots of good knight swords to give your zerkers if you want more consistent damage without missing. If you want to go full HAM you can give the zerkers 2 handed and watch them hit way harder. There's a couple of fights you can also cheese with cover/guard. If you're not on SNES and underwriting your magic, the Rune Axe works better on a knight that has marginally better +mag stat. Just make sure you go to the wind tower and farm up a bunch of elixirs before W2. After a certain point it becomes your primary healing.

Bruceski posted:Also I think spellblade would boost ninja throw, though I don't know how it compares to pure casters. And two spellblade dual wielders. IIRC Maxed spellblade is more magic than BRD/RDM, less than BLU. Give the Mystic Knight Dual Wield, Give everyone else Spellblade except for maybe monk (I can't remember if he can spellblade his mitts, if not he probably gets throw). Drain blade is your friend for trash. Mystic Knight gets Dual Wield. You basically don't even need to bother with throw unless you're wanting to hit multiple elemental weaknesses or attack all enemies. Edit:vvvvv Really in any situation where you have Mystic and Ninja, Dual Wield spellblades are going to carry all the weight in that combo, exception being the handful of fights where you've got to dispatch multiple things at the same time when you throw anime scrolls at your problems. Third level elemental spellblades automatically do 9999 to enemies that are weak to it, so you'll basically dunk on Omega so long as you can survive the first couple rounds. Berserk blade Shinryu and then drain blade face tank him to victory. It's super triple crownable. DeathSandwich fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Jun 23, 2020 |

Spellblade boosts magic 11 points higher than what the Ninja has by default, so it's not terrible. Granted, you'd really want a caster because even the weakest (Blue Mage) is 22 Magic higher than that, and Summoner topping out at 32 Magic higher than the Mystic Knight.

Just finished my triple crown with Black/Mystic/Beast/Samurai. It was less powerful than the all star squad I had last year, but still pretty easy. Black magic killed most things, Mystic killed things that didn't have an elemental weakness, Beast was indispensible for Sandworm/Omega/Shinryu and didn't bother with it for anything else, Mystic night Samurai threw money at Ned. Second year in a row my most deaths were against archesour or whatever in ronka because it's the first fight I couldn't hold a through

Enkibot prime doesn't ever tell you where to get White Wind, weirdly enough. Also, it's too late now, but did WHM/BRD/BST/THF have a way to kill Omega? Only thing I came up with was reflecting thunder procs from blitz whip, but I'm pretty sure that would run out of MP healing people back up before getting anything near dead, even after releasing Thunder Dragons.

Yeah, what you want to do is sing sing sing punch and hope for a crit (I would not recommend this unless you can automate it, it takes an eternity) Edit: with more than 42 defense you should be as immune to the whip damage as Omega is to everything else since the Blitz Whip is a poo poo whip. I don't know if that's reachable with your team though. Edit 2: Bonemail and a Dark Hood should do the trick. Add an accessory with some extra defense and you should be good. Or you could use the mirage vest and the equip swap trick, don't know if that will let thunder proc but I don't see why not. Or just reflect blink off Omega since I realized WM was there too. Edit 3: never mind, spells proc after the hit, my bad. A white mage should still be able to out heal though, even if it's a bit uncertain when you have to reflect it off Omega.

You can have the WHM attack with a Morning Star; it uses the axe damage formula which only factors 1/4 defense. Even then it still takes a long while since you can only break through on high rolls.
