Sentient Toaster posted:I too would like some tips for Valkyria Chronicles 2. I have no idea how much benefit I'm getting from leveling up classes, but I've noticed the APC is an amazingly easy way to end a lot of missions on the first turn. - A Fencer is an absolute necessity for most of the maingame and is by far the most effective way of taking out bosses, especially as said bosses' counters will without exception oneshot anyone who attacks them. The tank/APC also works, but you generally want at least two units going at a boss to keep him turning back and forth, or they'll just dodge most of your attacks. - If you feel like min/maxing, go check a guide, find out who learns the "Max vs. Personnel/Armor" potentials, and just use them - once they learn those, their attack power completely overshadows everyone else's at all times. - Flamethrowers instantly destroy bunkers, turrets and towers. The usefulness of this cannot be overstated. Shocktroopers and the Tank/APC can carry them. - Speaking of which, the Utility APC with the Flamethrower turret is fantastically good. APC rushes can one-turn nearly every "capture base camp" or "defeat boss" mission. It's up against Light Tank B with a Captured Turret, which has obscene accuracy and damage, but can't carry units or all the useful mods - most of the time I stick with the APC. - Snipers are best used to pop out of a base camp, pick off a target, and return. Don't underestimate them. - Make a Gunner a commander (once you get an extra) and leave them in your base camp every mission. You'll get the extra CP and they'll annihilate anything that gets close. - Mortars are useless. - Anthem Corps are surprisingly useful. - Regular Techs are useless. - Entering in the codes for extra content will get you some very good units and a couple decent weapons for techs. theshim fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Jun 11, 2012 |

Cake Attack hit most of the important stuff. - Normal is indeed Hard, and Hard is Maniac. For a first run, go with Normal (Easy). - BEXP abuse is enough to turn anyone into a god unit, so you really can get away with whoever you want (though I would strongly caution against using Leonardo, Meg or Fiona, as BEXP is the only thing saving them from being complete crap). Don't give units a level with BEXP if they don't have at minimum one stat capped! It's a waste, they'll average better on a normal level, often even with one capped. Once you hit two capped stats, especially on lopsided units, is a good time to sink BEXP. You can also use it to pump a unit up to 99 exp if you want them to level sooner but don't want to waste the stat gains. - The game will switch around which groups you get to use (very annoying). If you want to have the army in Part 3 get some goodies from Part 1, give them to Ilyana in the final chapter, she's the earliest unit you'll see then. - Thunder magic is terrible now, compared to PoR. - Earth pairs are even more stupidly broken now that anyone can support anyone. - You can remove skills like in PoR, but in this case it gives you them and you can assign them back to people. Units who have skills innately won't use any capacity on them, but this means you can pass Paragon and Blossom around, for example. This allows for fairly awesome combinations much more easily and rocks. - Haar can solo half of the second chapter you get to use him for. He is that good. - Laguz work differently now - instead of having solid stats and getting a boost when transformed, they now have terrible stats that double when they transform (except Luck and HP). This makes them harder to work with (though you can now control when they shift and can shift back whenever you want) and on the whole they aren't really worth it, especially as you get a bunch of the royals at the end of the game who are stupidly awesome.

LibbyM posted:I was thinking of making my zodiac have one level in fire/ice/volt mastery and then one level in all the single target elemental attacks. And then just maxing ether mastery. Once you get into subclassing everything changes, but that's quite a ways off. This is the most useful resource for EO3 by far. In addition to being very useful for planning out builds, the skill simulator also tells you the numbers behind each skill, which is priceless for figuring out when points are useful or wasted.

My tips are all from the original, I didn't get to play Overclocked, but most should still hold true: -Magic MC. Overclocked apparently made it much more viable to run a Phys MC, but there's still the problem that Atsuro is required for the majority of the endgame battles on most routes and fully speccing two phys attackers is a lot harder than ramming all your best skills on one. A Magic MC also has the advantage that he can sink points into Vit as well and become unkillable, while a Phys MC has to drop points into Mag and Vit, and will come up short somewhere. Get strength to 8 at some point for Holy Dance, 10 for Megido if you want (but Holy Dance is overall the best skill in the game). -The Dances are really strong in this game, as opposed to, say, Strange Journey, in which they were nigh-useless. Two hits from a Dance will outdamage a -dyne spell. -Get a Tyrant as soon as you possibly can. King Frost was the earliest in the original, not sure about Overclocked. Tyrants have two awesome parts to their passive: they restore mana at the end of each battle, which is flat-out necessary to be able to spam the best spells, and they push back the turns of adjacent enemies. Fuse Resist Fire on King Frost and he'll carry you for a good while. -Plan your route! Although with the extra day that Overclocked added even Yuzu's route is acceptable. Some of the characters are tricky to save, you may want to have a guide handy for that alone. In short, always do the events with people listed in the Laplace e-mails, give Kaido the bag on the 4th day (I think it's the 4th), and in Gin's e-mails ask about Haru and ask about Aya. Those are the major tricky bits as far as I can recall.

Cake Attack posted:-Your main sources of gold are villages (which give less gold as they're gradually destroyed by bandits) and the arena by the way. -Speaking of powerful weapons - weapons are not chewed through like in regular FE but can be repaired. This is important because weapons also keep a kill count. Normally, your units cannot land critical hits; the exceptions are people with the Critical skill (Noish, Ethlin, Levin I think) and any weapon which accumulates over 50 kills can also crit. Crit rate is skill+weapon bonus, where the bonus is 1 for each kill over 50 up to 100. -You will get a Silver Sword for Sigurd about halfway through Chapter 1. Have him use this for the entire first gen, it will end up with a lot of kills and having a crit-ready weapon helps the beginning of second gen considerably. quote:-theshim's pairing are all solid, there are some I prefer more then the one's posted but his work great for a first playthrough.

CloseFriend posted:I just started playing Gungnir. I didn't see anything on the Wiki about it and I know Dept. Heaven games are usually pretty loving out-there with their gameplay. (It's why I love them so!) Anything special I should prepare for? -This game is really short. -Every action has a Wait time. This is the amount of time before you can use that unit again without a penalty. The penalty is a hit to your max HP equal to your wait time's % - i.e. if you have 10 wait on a unit and want to use it anyway, their max HP will be lowered by 10% for the rest of the battle. -The more equipment you are wearing, the higher your Wait time will be. -Wait is independent of Delay, which is the time after each action until you get another turn. Low Delay is a good thing. -Sometimes you will want to use units anyway, especially a Witch once you get a type-3 broom attack. Do so. The max hp penalty is temporary and on long range units it won't even matter. -Taking bases increases your max TP by 2, and extends the range of Boosts and Beats (in which allies buff you or join in on attacks) by 1 each. War Gods cost at least 11 to use, so taking a base or two early is always a good idea. -TP is filled by moving with units. Each unit has a TAC score - this is how many TP they can fill up on their turn, at one per space moved. If someone only has 1 TAC, moving more than 1 space will not grant more TP. -Beats can only occur on single-space attacks without knockback. -The game rerolls targets for the War Gods every tick of time, I think. With a little patience, you can have them only hit enemies, which can make battles very easy. -After an early mission you will be given some Four-Leaf clovers. Don't bother holding onto them, they don't do anything. -Your ranking on a mission is determined by completing it within a certain amount of time and without casualties. Higher ranks will mean more treasure chests will spawn on the next stage (which are obnoxiously durable and have loot ranging from useless to amazing) and the difficulty of the game will increase slightly. If you are playing on Basic it will never get too crazy (it caps), but if you play on Advance it can keep increasing the challenge. It'll never get impossible but some enemies can get tough. -Don't use a Priestess or Sorceress, you have Paulo. -Don't use an Archer, you have Elise. -Giulio can go with the Gungnir or Sword/Shield. I like having the Gungnir on him, but both work pretty well. -Use a Thrower, get a spear with a type-3 attack (I think the Pilum has it, though you'll have to attack with it a few times to unlock it) as early as you can. The type-3 attack knocks the target back a space. -Knockback is stupid good. It's easy to knock people off cliffs or out of the map entirely. Note that the enemies are more than happy to do this to you too! -You can drown. (Thanks, Sting.) -Once you get a broom with a type-3 attack, get a Witch, she will be your MVP for the rest of the game with ease. You can get one from an old friend, and I'd reload if it doesn't drop. -There are only a few drops that are really worth reloading for. That broom and the Chrono come to mind, maybe the Oni Lance (but that battle is long and kind of tough).

The above only really applies for the first ten levels or so. Pretty soon you should have no trouble hitting with every single attack, especially once you max out dual-wielding and flurry (or whichever styles you choose to fight with). D&D doesn't scale very well, especially once you get past 15 or so. The game's not very hard (I actually played through it without touching my lightsaber, just because I could - the idea of a gunslinger Jedi was too good to pass up) and all the accuracy problems are early ones. The listed advice is good and helps you compensate for early weaknesses, but later on you'll have more freedom to do absurd amounts of damage.

This is primarily for a couple people I know playing Yggdra Union: - There are hidden items EVERYWHERE in this game. There's one in the first level (all the way off to the top left). You will never find most of them; if that bothers you at all, use a guide. I very highly recommend Shadowchaser91's guide here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/gba/930490-yggdra-union-well-never-fight-alone/faqs/46178 - You cannot unequip an item. Once equipped (same goes for your starting equipment) it lasts a certain number of battles. For example, Milanor starts with the Silver Moon [7], which will last for 7 battles. - Battles have a certain "turn limit" for getting the MvP +2 boost, a permanent randomly rolled +2 small stars for one stat for the unit that did the most damage. Try to spread the MvP boosts around a bit; it's easy for Milanor to grab them all, but a few for your other characters can make a huge difference. - The game (as is Sting's wont) doesn't explain almost everything, including stats. Here's a quick breakdown on how they work and what they do. Note that for all calculations, only the large stars matter - small stars are just progress towards your next large one. - GEN: Defense against charges and skills. The higher your gen, the less damage you'll take from charges and counters. Additionally, most damaging skills are calculated as TEC vs GEN - if your GEN is higher than their TEC, the skill will be blocked entirely (though some skills on the PSP version get a bonus). If their TEC is higher, skills will inflict more damage, etc. A higher GEN also means you'll take less Morale damage when you lose a fight. - ATK: Functions as both attack and defense in battle after the charge/counter phase. A higher ATK than an enemy means their units will die faster and yours slower. Also means you'll inflict more Morale damage when you win a fight. - TEC: Affects both the strength of your charges/counters and your skills. You need to have TEC at least equal to your opponent's GEN for status skills to work (stuff like Steal is included in this). TEC also affects how full the skill gauge starts - each star gives a certain value dependent on the Move of the card you picked for the turn (the lower the Move, the higher the gauge starts). - LUK: Does a bunch of stuff. Increases how often flash attacks happen (those little windups your character will sometimes do in battle - these deal a bit of damage and interrupt skill charging, making high LUK enemies a bit more annoying). Increases the likelihood of critical hits (which are really powerful in this game; I think it also decreases the chance of being critted, but I'm not certain). The most important function of LUK, however, is the drop rate - enemies will only drop their equipped item if the unit that defeats them has LUK equal or greater than theirs. This means units with 1 or 2 LUK are kind of lousy for finishing some bosses off. - REP: Your REP value goes up by 1 for each consecutive battle you win, capping at 6. REP is used for determining certain items you can get and is mostly ignorable unless you're going for something specific, in which case, use a guide. - Units have up to four abilities, and a fifth slot that is added by equipment. For example, Milanor has [O] Wasteland  , which greatly increases his combat ability when standing in Wasteland terrain, and [O] Void Stone, which makes him immune to petrify (this is almost completely meaningless). You'll also note on a new game that the fifth slot gives him [O] No battle penalty, which allows him to go up against multiple enemies in a row without penalty. When the Silver Moon is gone, this ability goes with it! Using the right item for the right battle is a huge part of the game's strategy.- Stat boosting items instantly boost the stat to the next large star. Try to use them on people who just got a large star in a stat to maximize returns! With the way stats are raised, you get the biggest return using it on someone with one or two large stars. - Anything which conditionally raises your combat effectiveness (like Milanor on wasteland) is very strong. The game uses a number of weapon triangles and the like (the axe>lance>sword is here, but all lose to staves, which lose to bows, etc.), which give the upper hand a boost to their combat (think of it as an extra star for ATK, for example) and a penalty to the loser. (The combat status is expressed by the icon below your units - from strongest to weakest it's Red Star - Yellow Star - Yellow Circle - Green Circle - Green Dash (neutral) - Blue Dash - Blue Triangle - Grey Triangle - Grey X.) An advantage will bump you up to Yellow Circle, a disadvantage to Blue Triangle. However, Milanor on wasteland terrain will always have a Yellow Circle, even fighting against a guy with a sword. Making good use of your units' and items' abilities is very important! - Most classes (excluding Milanor and Knights, as well as some monsters) change to dealing elemental damage when going Aggressive/in Rage mode. Yggdra, for example, deals Holy damage when going Aggressive. This means that while she can be extremely effective against anything weak to Holy, going Aggressive against a Valkyrie, which nulls Holy damage, means you will do nothing. This can and should be exploited - enemy Valkyries will go into Rage mode against Yggdra, giving you a large window of opportunity to beat them down with them dealing no damage to you! Once enemies reach Max, however, they will return to dealing non-elemental damage. - You'll get a couple options for a few weapon types. Choose one and stick with them! Each of your choices is very good, there are no bad units in this game.

Skill Cards especially shatter the game later on; it's really easy to just slot Growth 3 on everyone and get even more high-end skills. There's a place at the shrine where you can get a skill card copied (randomly selected, just keep retrying until you get the one you want) so don't feel like you have to hoard them.

lowercase16 posted:Any tips for Fire Emblem: Awakening? Gen 2 doesn't work the same in Awakening as it did in FE4. The way it works for everyone but Chrom is that once you finish Chapter 13, any married couple's child can be recruited through a Paralogue. If you haven't paired anyone yet, fret not; the Paralogue will open when you get the S-rank - though do note that you will not be able to reach some of the Paralogue chapters from the World Map until you advance the story past certain points. There will be a couple guys left high and dry, this is normal. Each of the women you recruit by that point can have a child. In addition, Chrom will always have a child who joins you during Chapter 13. Robin is unique in that he or she will always produce Morgan, even if paired with one of the second-gen characters (who can be paired with each other and Robin but do not produce children of their own) or one of the later first-gen characters (who also do not have children). Morgan will always be the opposite gender of Robin. If Robin is male and marries one of the first-gen women, they will have both the woman's child and Morgan. Chrom is unique in that his pairing is locked in at the end of Chapter 11, even though the child doesn't join until chapter 13. If Chrom does not yet have an S-rank, whoever he has the highest rank with will shoot up to S immediately. If all of Chrom's potential wives are taken or he has no support points with any of them (even if he didn't get a C rank, for example), he will marry a nameless village girl. Pairing Chrom with Olivia, who you only recruit in Chapter 11, necessitates you avoiding or marrying off his other candidates and having Olivia pair up with or dance for Chrom in Chapter 11 to earn some support points. As far as inherited skills are concerned, Chrom is again the exception. Everyone else passes down the last skill they have slotted to their child (so you can freely reorder them to pass down whichever one you want). Note that the skills and stats of the child are not locked in until you actually select "Fight!" on the Paralogue - you can even go in and exit back to the world map to reset skills or level up more. Chrom, however, will always pass down Aether to his daughters, and Rightful King to his sons, even if he has not learned the skills. All of this is nifty and you can really not worry about any of it unless playing on Lunatic or trying for the super-hard DLC which isn't even released yet. Enjoy yourself with the game, it's pretty much impossible to screw up!

Anything for Orcs Must Die 2? I did not play the first, sadly.

Artix posted:Help me out guys, I just got Etrian Odyssey IV. I've played a decent amount of EO3 if that helps, but it's been a long time. The game is far more generous than the earlier games in the series, for the most part, and nearly any party can make it through. A good starting party should probably have at least one of Nightseeker/Sniper and Medic/Dancer. I ran the party on the game box my first run - Fortress, Landsknecht, Nightseeker, Sniper, Medic, and it stood me in good stead, though you'll want to run the Link skills on your Landsknecht if you go this way for some elemental damage. Once you get to the second land and gain a few levels, the sheep FOEs on the worldmap are the easiest grinding in the game. The rare mushrooms you can find there will make them rare breeds, which are worth nearly 50k exp a pop. Nightseekers are decent early on but become the undisputed kings of damage once you start hitting the third tier skills at level 40. In particular, Venom Throw is insanely good, dealing 700 damage per turn when maxed out. Combine that with Auto-Spread and you can one-round virtually all encounters with one shot. The Runemaster's first set of runes are worth getting to rank 3 if you run one, which will cut down on damage of the appropriate element by a huge amount. For the first maze, Arm Bind from a Sniper or Blind from a Nightseeker are extremely useful against the FOEs and boss, and it doesn't hurt to have both. Leg Bind and Paralysis are very good in the second maze, and both remain very useful for the whole game.

Panic! at Nabisco posted:Don't feel like you need a Fortress to progress in the game. A lot of people really like defensive strategies, but I didn't have one for the entire game because I hate pure tank units, and I did fine. Also there's a General EO thread over here where people will be happy to answer more detailed questions.
