The only truly objective way to determine the best team is by looking at it from the fashion angle. In which case four Dancers obviously win.* *Maybe three Dancers and White Mage Krile Nasgate posted:Is it normal for !summon to ignore Sandworms holes? Or is this another matrixism? No, that's true for all versions. I don't know why they made an exception for summons after explicitly warning you not to use MT attacks, but that's how it is.

The best team is whatever I have on my current run, and let me tell you about them. *checks notes* First of all, you’ve got blue mage which is basically cheating you can death claw, level 5 death, big guard, this is the game that started all that nonsense. Then you’ve got berserker, look sometimes you need to do damage and why bother thinking about it when you do? Did somebody say damage? Well Rangers got that too with x-fight! Don’t have any staff users so critters can fill in with healing right there in the middle of vampire and white wind. And finally you have dragoon, which... Dragoon is the wild card! Just drop out of the sky, no one’s expecting it. Fill up the blue mages MP with lancet. I mean I won’t because they’ll have x-fight, but I could.

I have mystic knight which gives me spellblade (which allows me to apply magic to my weapon attacks to make them stronger), a ranger which gives me rapidfire (which attacks 4 times at half damage), and a freelancer which has two open ability slots, allowing me to have 2 rapidfire spellbladers (as the mystic knight also starts with spellblade, so I can just add rapidfire on). This allows me to do dumb things like hit one of the optional superbosses for 9999 damage 4 times in one turn that will always hit, because he's weak to thunder and if you use the maximum level elemental blade on an enemy weak to that element, you either instantly kill them or just do a ridiculous amount of damage to them. I also have a berserker which lets me put Krile in a cute animal onesie.

Well, specifically, it's all the things that Omniscient will reset the battle for, but yeah, magical commands literally do not provoke anything from holes. (The reason a weapon that procs a spell triggers twice is because it's two incidents of a Physical-based command)

I got blue mage . Should I build this towards attack or magic stats? I know they use both and monster skill calculations are usually weird, as well as getting stuff like the wind knife later.

Does a CHAOS run use a modified version of the game to get jobs ahead of time or is it using freelancers until those jobs are unlocked ? Edit: advance looks fun but those are unlocked quite late too

Keeping the Rune Axe and Excalibur and you can't stop me. (I probably should've held onto the Harp, too, but whatever, gently caress it!) THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Does a CHAOS run use a modified version of the game to get jobs ahead of time or is it using freelancers until those jobs are unlocked ? Same if you're not modding, but your job isn't available yet. So you could end up rolling 4Free for a while (if you somehow end up with all four Earth jobs, for example), but once you get at least one job you can use, you have to use those jobs.

Just did the Ancient Library. Party so far is Geomancer/Berserker/Bard. It's been interesting! I went ahead and unlocked Geomancer (and technically Bard) early. It made the early game a breeze, though Liquid Flame and Ifrit were a pain! I'm also working on the "spend no money" part, since this is a good team for that! The lack of healing items is not great, though at least I'll get Regen soon. I've burned almost everything on Liquid Flame. Alright, time for toxxes. Mustached Demon posted:
Close enough. Besides, you're probably way past the toxx limit at this point anyway. Arrrthritis posted:
Koobes posted:
Five Gaia kills so far in Karlabos, Siren, Magisa, Garula, and Byblos, though technically Byblos is the only one that should be doable so far. Liquid Flame and Ifrit pretty much ignore !Gaia's bullshit, and a Berserker sniped the kill on Iron Claw. Also a free Poisoned Lenna for Magisa, of course. girl dick energy posted:I just got killed by a Ghidra in the ten steps between Archie and the next cutscene. In honor of this, and to do something productive with the experience... I'm gonna count this because Ifrit was difficult for my party and took a few attempts. He does a lot of damage and I was too low on healing items to throw them to keep up, so I had to throw an Elixir on my Main Gauche user and pray. The first attempt I got a win, I died when backtracking to the library entrance, because of course I'm also Brave Blading (or Brave Knifing...?) this run on top of everything else. After the second win, I abused quicksaving to avoid random battles. I'll be sure to try out a lot more toxxes! The "Kill Omega with Rune Chime" one is certainly on the table!

Samuel Clemens posted:8. For Magisa you'll want to do close to 350 damage so she's right on the verge of calling in Forza. Then have everyone wait with a full ATB until she attacks. Immediately attack her with all four characters afterwards. If you were fast enough, you should be able to get in another round of attacks before she acts since Thieves are faster than her. That'll kill her before she gets the chance to yell for help. Thanks for this, it worked perfectly and saved me a huge headache.

Got to the Wind Crystal and unlocked Monk. My guess is that I'll need to stock up on a good amount of potions and be ready to just power through till the Water Crystal. I had forgotten how much personality the characters showed from what I played last time.

So, I hit probably the biggest wall, besides NED, with Twintania. Coral ring deals with the tidal counters but not the Mind Blast. Reflect ring will work on that but then I just get waved to death. After the paralyze wears off I get blasted away from his charged form. Currently hitting level 40 and just barely reaching 3000 hp. I feel like I need to exceed 4000 hp to death sickle/assassin blade him after he blasts me. Does anyone know what level I would need to reach with the 'zerks?

I feel like I need to exceed 4000 hp to death sickle/assassin blade him after he blasts me. Does anyone know what level I would need to reach with the 'zerks? Hermes Sandals and Death Sickles are the route. Hermes Sandals make you immune to Paralysis, while Death Sickles can cause instant death. "But wait, what about the Assassin's Dagger?" That's what's killing you. Twintania is countering physical attacks with Tidal Wave, and the Assassin's Dagger is hitting every single time. In fact, it might even be better to kill off a couple of your Berserkers so you face fewer Tidal Waves (especially with Hermes Sandals). The Death Sickle missing prior to the Giga Flare phase is a feature, not a bug, and so you should lean into that, as every missed Death Sickle is one less Tidal Wave. In fact, thinking on it, I'd say stick with Reflect Rings, because then you have fewer attacks going out. Sure, you're getting fewer shots per fight at Death hitting, but if you're still facing too many Tidal Waves this is the ticket. Rosalie_A fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Jun 15, 2021 |

While being stuck as a Freelancer for a while isn't exciting, it's not that bad since they can use any equipment (which means breaking rods is on the table). Where it gets bad is when you get stuck with something like Berserker until the Earth crystal. I'm currently looking at needing to grind up a pile more levels so I can 'zerk my way past Sandworm.

This was the boss of the mountain north of Carwen. (It's hard to tell because of the blue mage getup, but she is indeed poisoned) This is my first time doing the FJF. I've only just unlocked the water crystal, but I peeked ahead and it seems I will have Blue Mage, Red Mage, Geomancer, and Samurai. Seems like a pretty good team all things considered. Blue will probably be the powerhouse but Red will help me get some blue spells with confuse and can help support with other white magic and act as a decent attacker. And Geomancer can help save some mana or at least have some good magic stats to use blue/red magic as their secondary. I don't know too much about Samurais but I think they are pretty strong. So far the MVP of the run has been the Blue spell Vampire. Fully heal yourself and do a bunch of damage for 2 MP? Sure why not. One thing I have been (maybe needlessly) worrying over is who will focus on what jobs. Since I haven't played FF5 in over a decade, I don't really remember how things end up at the end. Is it likely that I'll master all 4 jobs with everyone by the end of the game without any extra grinding? Lets Fuck Bro fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Jun 15, 2021 |
