Getting towards the end of A1 Lunatic, and now my build is starting to struggle a bit. Even the Kedamas are taking multiple hits to kill, I'm dying quite a bit [Specifically to multi-enchanted foes, I can't have two auras up at once], and I'm pretty reliant on 'Chain Reactions' [Which has now added Bow of Izuna to the chain reaction] to quickly kill off things. Worse still, I'm not really getting big boosts in power now. I've maxed out Izunome now, and I'm working on Leavietinn to finish my Trio of Buffs, but the increases in power are pretty small now, and it makes it clear just how much of my extra power wasn't coming from the buffs themselves, but the Purity boosting my auras.
Although it *is* hilarious to see my Attack Rating over 6,500 because I have so many Attack boosts from Rank 25 Izunome, Rank 25 Amaterasu, and Rank 6 Leavietinn.
I'm thinking of starting one character from each type, so I can flick between them to reduce burnout, with differing playstyles.
The problem is deciding what to do with each of them. I know I'm gonna run a Medicine for Fairy, and probobly some kind of tanky Yuuka-base for a Hermit, possibly with Minoriko's resist buff too to increase durability.
Hunter I'm leaning towards actually running a Meiling as the main build, possibly with some Kogasa simply for the stun attack and the base damages of the Parasoul to scale with Meiling's skills. Although running a Meat-Grinder Chen is tempting as well.
Miko I'll probobly go back to the Shou/Remi hybrid I was trying early. May go Hijiri/Reimu though.
Then we get to the two I don't really know that much about, and not tried too well. I know I won't be running Yuyuko, at least as a base, for Kasha, since Resurrection Butterfly has godawful AI, and a Hina/Komachi would just be an inverse of my current Kensei, debuffing enemies stupid amounts instead of buffing myself. There's Alice, but I can see one glaring issue with her: You need to actually manage to kill something first to use her abilities.
And when it comes to Brawler... I have no clue. I'd probobly main Ichirin/Yuugi... if they were compatable <_<. Which baffles me, since Yuugi can wield two fists with ease, which works with King Kraken... not to mention Ichirin's core skill is even called 'Fists'. Doesn't sit well with me. I'd love my answer for everything to be APPLY FIST TO FACE, regardless of the situation or range.
May throw a Momiji in there just for I'MMA WOLF.
