Let's Play The Genius of Sappheiros [HIATUS]

Serela:
Remilia is an awesome sweeper for random fights. IIRC her javelin skills are mostly better than her innate ones (Unless you need higher accuracy or spellcards!), and Star of David is nice sometimes for HP% damage. Unfortunately her stronger spellcards have too much cooldown for her to be much special in bossfights, but she shines gloriously for randoms, so it's alright.

Darkonium Marisa quest isn't so ba-oh wait, that's because I fought it using both super accessories... right... >.> I don't remember if that's one of the quests I ever -stopped- doing that or not. If you just put on some physical resist (I don't recall which kind...) and use a healing commander you should be able to? I guess you might want to wait for a better weapon.

Elixir/Raise Dead both require Reimu's lv90 skill to learn. Emphasis on REQUIRE. If you use charm and luckgarbage your way into getting it used on Satori, it literally just doesn't work right because revives. Unless Elder Dragon has it in the Control list after all, but it's phenomenally difficult to control him, so that's not even worth it. In any case, iirc when I used Raise Dead it fullheal'd. Having revives on someone other than Sanae is nice.

Validon98:
Oh, NEET mentioned my run. Yeah, I'm around on stage 20, the only bosses I've ended up using Alice for were Reisen and Chichiro or whatever the name of the octopus maid was, so in other words, only the party splits (which means she's super underleveled, but I'll probably throw her into my commander slot during stage 21 to boost her up so Lithos won't get her starting level gimped). Dunno why I'm doing it, but I guess after like... three or so runs where I didn't experiment too much (last run was the first where I didn't get Mokou and Byakuren early, truth be told), it's nice trying to play the game without relying on one character. It's given me a LOT of appreciation for Mokou's Xu Fu's Dimension, which I've pretty much never used before, on top of things like a true full chaser, party, etc.

As for Tenshi, you don't get Reimu's multi-target physical/magical damage blocking barrier until somewhere around Lakebed Temple even if you keep up on her leveling (I didn't get it until stage 20, actually). You instead use her barrier that nulls the four basic elements on turn one, and by that point you should have gotten Sanae's defensive buffs up on top of shifting the Land away from Earth enough that further casts don't do much more to you. Also, Earth resistance accessories. Those help a lot.

Your Everyday NEET:
Character Quest Part 6

This will be the last time I tackle those tedious character side quests. I fucking hate those quests!

Serela:
Some of the quests are fairly annoying, especially in terms of locating them. Thankfully you can skip doing ones for characters you didn't forge multiple weapons for. The quest sets are static too, so especially once you beat Stage 22 and unlock the Kourindou bosses (wonderful exp farms and mass forging funtimes), you don't generally have to do many annoying ones (Although I eventually get tired of fighting the Terminator... :T Sometimes that fight doesn't go well.). Granted, some kourindou bosses are hard, but most of them are really easy if you know what you're doing. (Elder Dragon and Otherworld Challenger (not-royal-duke) are the hard ones, Terminator is a runner up, the rest are e.z.! Mind Flayer for awesome exp farm times, woohoo instant death weakness! It even shows up twice in a row regularly!)

Cirno's is the hardest character quest if you don't have the super tank accessories yet. It's not entirely trivial even if you -do- have them... at least with Reimu's if you have bad luck you can just Run and try again and it's usually on the first map. And yeah, if the fight isn't going well, I'm pretty sure you're allowed to Run on these and just start the fight over.

Golbez:
I liked the personal quest. They can teach you about the abilities of the characters.
For Reimu I specialized her into swords and teamed her up with Nitori. Still a nasty one.
For Cirno I think there was some way to heal her when doing damage, combined with her counter move.
Byankuren I had the most trouble with, you can give her some life draining knife and perfect-resist her but it can easily go wrong.
Well, thats what I remember, It was quite some time ago since I've played this. :)
