Forgot to mention since the image isn't loading that this was supposed to be Team 750 :(

Sure, but two eventual holy/curaga bots and two chances for deathsickle!

On reflection, this is perfectly true - I was just disappointed with Geomancer and an extra Zerker rather than the other cooler options from 750.

World 1 sucks though - can't wait to plink Sandworm to death with White Mages and a Geomancer!

Edit: Just for a fun thought though, which is more powerful - Equip Axes Geo with the Rune Axe or !White6 Zerker?

Run 1 of the year complete! Team 750 with Zerker Risk: White/Bers/Geo/Erker

https://imgur.com/7R2UTe7 https://imgur.com/E3Iz6fu

Well in spite of my complaining, as Poque pointed out this a pretty good team once it got going. It was less painful than I was expecting, but I'm looking forward to being able to control more than two characters again. Here is my Hot Take after completing this run: Berserker is a better class than Geomancer, even with two of them. At least they could whack things worth a drat and Death Sickles are pretty good. Yes, Geo could be a good second White Mage, but it was ONLY good as a second White Mage. Having never used !Gaia before, it loving sucks and I never want to rely on it as offence ever again.

White is incredible, easily MVP of this run, even with the slow beginning. I will never complain about a team with White ever again. Obligatory Double Crown with a Berserked dragon. The robot gets to live because I can't be bothered dealing with its counters with this team, even if I could theoretically sandbag it with White.

Toxxes!

Legendary Weapon Charity Sale!

In order to raise money for charity, let's all sell the legendary weapons! I'll be donating $0.10 for each of the 12 legendary weapons sold.

I'm sure Omniscient will be glad for the extra company.

Not pictured: the Gaia Bell, still locked in the Sealed Castle where it belongs because gently caress the Gaia Bell but mostly gently caress the Great Sea Trench without Bards/good multi hit damage

This is Lenna, Princess of Tycoon. She loves animals, and is one of our 4 party members. She also likes to get poisoned for reasons unknown to even us.



for every boss beaten while Lenna is poisoned, I'll donate $0.10, up to a max of $100. How she gets poisoned is up to you.

I totally forgot about this Toxx until the stars aligned with Grand Cross hitting both Lenna and Faris with poison. The sisters who die of poison together stay together?

Onto a new run, hopefully with at least 50% less Berserker and 100% less Geomancer!

So my new Pure Chaos run is Freelancer/Monk/Mystic/Dancer. Freelancer and Mystic are two of my favourite classes so I'm pretty stoked about this, plus Equip Ribbons is super nice to have. Monk is there, I guess.

Question: Does the Freelancer have to master Monk to get Monk-strength or is just getting Barehanded enough? Would they have to equip Barehanded to get the strength then?

They'd have to either master the class or equip barehanded, I believe.

That's slightly annoying in terms of the grind, but at least it will make for a super bulky freelancer in the long run. Thanks!

Equip Ribbons is also useful for trivialising Grand Cross though, given it also allows you to equip Rainbow Dresses as well as the Ribbon, so that might be worth potentially grinding for (though you can save that for World 3, since it's not particularly necessary for World 2 Exdeath).

Speaking of which! I have a new found respect for Dancers now that I've finished my second run of the year - Freelancer/Mystic/Monk/Dancer with a lovely triple crown to go with!



This team actually has a lot of really nice synergy. Monk, of all things, was instrumental for the first two thirds of the game due to giving everyone Barehanded, allowing the Dancer and MK to keep up in damage, even when Mystic's usefulness fell down towards the end of World 2. Monk also appreciated Swords Dance to keep up with offence, though fell off to being a bulky Elixir bot at the end as you would expect.

Getting the Rainbow Dresses was also nice for the 50% Swords Dances, which synergises super well with MK. Flare-Swords Dance is really stupid, y'all.

Super Freelancer was of course the end game and boy does having Monk strength + HP help when slugging it out with Omega. Thundaga-Swords Dance took care of Omega, though I got really luck with Aegis Shield procs and Encircle hitting the useless Monk and Dancer in this fight. Shinryu was Berserked with the Wonder Rod, blinded with a Dark Bow and then Flare-Swords Danced to oblivion. Still took about ten phoenix downs though.

Anyway, this was a super fun run, especially considering the Healing Staff and Hi Potions were my most reliable healing for most of the game!
