NED's final levels 86, 83, 81, and 67.

That's some complicated Death By Math. You prooobably want to plan the full run out ahead of time.

and treedeath is 77

This is starting to sound like my kind of challenge

What rate does stuff like L2 old or hero song function at? 1 level per ATB tick?

Old is per tick; Hero Song (and all stat-boosting bard songs) are on each on the singer's turns (hence why you use Speed Song first).

Is there some visual way of telling when each singer turn happens once they're singing? Think they just have like the static bar during it?

not really. the best indicator you can have is casting mighty march, then while hero's song levels you up you'll start seeing the regen ticks getting bigger and bigger.

It is quite good. There's never any reason to use more than one or two Legendary Weapon. I can only think of a few that are happiest with theirs? (Berserker, Bard, Samurai, White & maybe Black Mage).

e: Flame Lash is also pretty great if you can boost their Magic stat.

Excalibur is the best Knight option until the very end unless you have the Brave Blade. Yoichi's Bow is nice if another class desperately needs the Chicken Knife. Same goes for Sasuke's Katana.

Unless you enjoy farming, Holy Lance is also as good as it gets for Dragoon. :smith:

Dragoons could've been at least somewhat decent if Lances had anything remotely approaching a sensible weapon power scale.

The saddest thing about Dragoons is meeting the occasional enemy in World 3 who resists Holy and having to slowly whittle them to death with the Partizan.

Gargoyles punish holy AND single-target attackers, they're a dragoon's best friend. And they're mandatory fights at every tablet dungeon. :shepicide:

Rune Axe: Titan's axe is available in Istory Falls. Not quite as good but without a magic command, is comparable. With a magic command, you still have Gaia
Gaia Bell: If you're attacking with geomancer you're doing something wrong. Rune chime and Tinklebell also more powerful(just no earthquake)
Yoichi's Bow: If you're using a bow, Artemis(in Istory Falls) is stronger. Though it has a lower crit chance
Apollo's Harp: While unreplaceable in a vacuum, it's useful only a couple times compared to singing or using another command
Masamune: While the first strike passive and haste cast are great, Murakumo(stolen from Yojimbos) has 10 more atk and 5% more crit chance.
Excalibur: Revoke tradition, embrace the Brave Blade. Defender isn't much weaker until you get Ragnarok which is a large improvement.
Assassin's Dagger: I do not remember a single time this was anything more than filler or a proc fisher. CK and, if you have Dancer, Man-Eater are better
Magus Rod: You either have the apropriate rod to boost already or can cast Flare. Lillith also gives you a bonus to Magic stat
Sasuke's Katana: Probably the only unreplaceable weapon. There's no upgrade. Many comps can probably work around not having it without suffering though.
Holy Lance: Steal a Dragon Lance, Kill Shinryu, Spit in the face of god as you jump on one portion of Exdeath.
Sage's Staff: Holy does plenty of damage without the boost, or replace it with Rune Chime because Geo is good, actually. The raise ability is replaceable by spending mana.
Fire Bute: Farm a whisker if you're insane, snatch a dozen off Shinryu for fun. The firaga proc is only good with a high magic stat, meaning you can cast magic.

Side note: while going through and double checking myself I noticed most improvements are in the same general area just before Halicarnassus, or in Istory Falls

Dragoons have heavy armor (including shields like the Aegis Shield) and !Lance is OK on mages for random fights, to refill without using Ethers. Geos can at least carry you most of the way through World 1.

Thanks to the crit chance, unless your enemy is a magical beast Yoichi is strictly better if you have some way to guarantee a hit, like, say, aim or rapid fire. Even an equip bow'd berserker does more damage on average with Yoichi, especially if the enemy has high defense.

Yeah but the difference is still marginal enough that there's no reason to not sell it for the toxx.

I almost always pick the Assassin's Dagger because it's an all-around useful weapon, especially just for normal fights or grinding up. It's detrimental when fighting undead but overall it's just a high-damage weapon that almost anyone can use, with a handy proc. Best in slot, maybe not, but not every class can effectively use chicken knife either.

There was a Goblin Punch boss toxx last year by Arrrthritis, I'm surprised it wasn't more popular as it was one of my favorite things like ever. I filled one of the pages with webms including crit kills on Neo Exdeath and Omega.

Unless you end up with all Monks and White Mages, you can use it to kill TwinTania easily. Can also heal a Bone Mail user with it!

Last year, I asked you to commit The Perfect Crime. This year, I need you to Attack and Dethrone God(s).
In any run that does not at any time use the Summoner class, collect all the spells in the Summon menu.
Please show, a screenshot of your party's classes, and one of the filled summon menu.

Finished my pre-fiesta warmup running The Run's comp. Had a lot of dumb messing around trying to get blu mage shenanigans to work despite running at lower level than I should. BLM's firepower does a lot to cover for when BLU can't trivialize things. Probably spent more time trying to get a stingray to give me bigguard than I spent in all of world 2.
Also spent like 2 hours and several attempts fighting NED to be able to pull off the ultimate blue magic finish.

OMG.

Oh, before I forget, I'm doing the GBA Randomizer :toxx: again, same as last time:
Mild runs only. $1.10 per goon up to 20 for every goon that completes a run to the end (must complete a standard run first) using Can Of Worms's Final Fantasy V Advance Randomizer. Make sure to emptyquote this post on a win so I can see it! Oh, and please don't use the FFV4JF site (probably not cool crowning on impossible runs). It's up to you if you want to spoil the Jobs you get or not but I'd recommend it to reduce grinding and magic level confusion. Also, I'll probably wait until next year to actually donate so I can kill two birds with one stone and water that tree.
:siren:Also, make sure you use the clean unpatched Final Fantasy V Advance US ROM (CRC32 7A24AB0C)! You'll get game-breaking errors with the EU version or patched ROMs that change job stuff.
