is still won't do shit in a fight. 390k damage alllright, but against enemies with several million HP, it's better to use a fucking skill. unless you are out of EVERYTHING there should never ever be a reason to use the regular attack of anyone.
Except in Flan's case, you don't have anything else to use. Starbow Break hurts her and can make her die if the enemy's turn is coming up. You need to use a regular attack so you can follow up with Laevateinn. However, that said, her attack damage isn't insignificant. As I have mentioned for comparative purposes, Eiki's Last Judgement, does 1.46 million against Flan's regular attack which is 360k. This means if Flan attacks 4 to 5 times, it is equal to Eiki's damage. Flan can get in about 2 attacks compared to Eiki's 1 attack if you take delay into account. That means Flan is sporting 720k damage compared to 1.46 million. That doesn't look so shabby now, does it?
Of course, if you have an opening, you can use Starbow Break and switch her out afterwards, because that skill hurts her a lot. But if you need her to
stay in combat, this is what you do. Use a regular attack, then follow up with a better attack, then switch.
Using the attack command loses out in dps in every way to using a skill. Even if you're out of sp, a focus and skill will likely net you more damage.
For everyone else, yes. For Flan, not necessarily, unless you can switch her out after her Starbow Break. And against regular enemies that hurts her TP if you use Starbow Break, so its best that you use regular attack, then follow up with Laevateinn.
Reimu Level 190. Also, I have 1,5 million SKP sitting unused. All of my characters HP, SP, Main offensive stat, DEF, MND, SPD and all elemental Affinities have been raised until they cost 5k SKP to upgrade.
I would suggest level up their skill points on what they are good at. Someone like Youmu, don't bother with Mind, because her Mind growth is so terrible. But for someone like Reimu, yeah, leveling those will help. SP level ups aren't as good later on though, but if you still run into SP issues, then yeah, level it up.
Just remember, as the previous poster says, SP recovery has a cap. I think the cap count is 200. So if you have 300 SP and 30% recovery, you recover 60 SP on focus, not 90 SP on focus.
