Also, why do you call Minoriko "Minoruke"? Just curious, as I've yet to see that nickname used for her elsewhere.
I was wondering that, too..
...
because I suck with names...and cuz after all these years...nobody else has corrected me, and..uhh...I suck with names.. like...aot. and... *RUNS AWAY CRYING*
...and now I'm glad that I didn't ask.
Note about Transcendent: If the stat boosting is per level, then it would benefit fast levelers(Chen, Rumia, Kogasa, Minoriko, Cirno) more than slow ones(Patchouli). In fact, part of me wants to think that characters like Chen can benefit from said sub-class more than things like Warrior in late-game/post-game
because of the high levels that you would have by then. 3.3 stat up on HP, ATT, DEF, MAG, MND, and SPD(does it boost SPD? I don't remember...) per level on Chen, the fastest leveler in the game? Yes, please!
Also worth asking: Does the party level still depend of the average of the levels of the party members, or was that changed?
Sanae - Tanky Support - Magician because no other subclass really suited what I wanted to do with her. Miracle Fruit basically becomes obsolete once I use it to get Byakuren to 100% / use Renko instead, so her being a Magician gives her another purpose.
And this is why I would ask for one of three things for her:
1. Give her back her "Nine Syllable Stabs" spell, with the effect that her "Night with Bright Guest Stars"(is that the name, can't seem to remember...) spell's effect from LoT1 had(that would be a 50% EVA debuff, which was useless in that game due to EVA being nonfunctional). As for elements, I would switch her "Night with Bright Guest Stars" spell to MYS, and make this spell SPI element. Granted, if this was combined with my idea of Remi getting a new spell that causes Heavy and a EVA debuff, it would kinda weaken the effect of the idea of the EVA debuff somewhat, but in Sanae's case, this would help her in being a party oriented support character.
2. Give "Miracle Fruit" the power to buff EVA, since there is no one who can do so with a spell. This makes it so that her buff is still useful, even after you get Byakuren(since Byakuren's skill set doesn't help in maintaining EVA).
3. Make her "Moses Miracle" spell more effective by causing it to ignore more and more of the enemy's MND. That way, she'll actually have a more useful offensive option.
On a side note, did anyone write in the wiki that Sanae's heal spell can cure Heavy? Figured that I should ask that...
OK I think I figured the reason why some of my characters have not been performing very well in the post dungeon of late, elemental affinity. It seems that the game expect you to have 200 affinity by the time you get there. This probably explains why I been dealing 0 damage to some enemies. This is going to be expensive.
Wait. Elemental affinity affects offense now? I thought that it only helped in defense.
Glass Cannon Mage Kaguya - I wouldn't exactly call Kaguya "glass cannon" She has very high mind, so I would rather call her bulky mind mage. I was always confused on what subclass to give her. It's difficult to choose for someone like her.
Most offensive mages tend to have high MND, so Kaguya isn't an exception due to that. What makes her special is her affinities, which is the best in the whole game. In fact, the best way to increase her defenses is to raise them up as much as much as you can, which is why people argue that Patchouli is worse than her as a mage.
Of course, as for my thoughts on how to improve Patchouli's defenses:
Also, they could make it so that her "Passive Philosopher Stone" skill can work like this:
Skill Point Cost: 9
Max Level: 3
Effect: Whenever Patchouli uses a spell with an element, if an enemy attacks her with the same element as the one she used before, the damage received will be reduced by (SLv * 30)%. This effect can apply to up to 3 different elements at the same time, with the next newest element overwriting the oldest one in turn.
If I recall correctly, a 90% reduction in damage would be rather useful in actually surviving a hit, and the fact that it registers up to three different elements at the same time means that you can protect yourself and cast a different spell without losing that protection. Since Patchouli is frail as she is, such a defense would be helpful, yes?
@Kirin no Sora - It does do that.
Ah. So then, Easygoing would have quite the profound effect if someone like Meiling had it, which is why you guys said that it would make her OP(even though I still disagree with that, but to each their own...)
