~Beyond the Border~ > Akyu's Arcade
Let's Play The Genius of Sappheiros [HIATUS]
Your Everyday NEET:
I might as well describes the Vita-exclusive character.
In the PSV version of GoS, Akyu has been undummied out. She has above average HP (her HP is higher than Reimu's or Lithos'), low MP, and even worse stats than Satori, strangely her stats growth explodes when she's Lv99. Her unique weapon is Brush, basically a cross of spear and rod, with good support skills. She can equip up to medium armor and shields. Using her Gensokyo Chronicles, she can copy enemy's skills by killing them herself. Her skill is divided into 4 forms. Magician form gives her all sort of mid-top tier spells, Warrior form gives her all sort to top tier physical attack including second tier elemental breath, Insect form gives her lots of debuff skills, and Aquan form gives her really good support skill. In short, she's a good multiform jack-of-all stats. She does have a weakness though: Her lives and bomb are just 1 and 2 respectively. Die once in any battle, you can't use her anymore. Her Last Word is Gensokyo Chronicle, it reduces all damage against the party to 1/3 for that turn only.
On top of being a good jack-of-all-stats, she's also an AMAZING support. Her Commander skills are:
Passive: Item Drop Rate +100% (Yes, she doubles item drop rate)
Support 1: Treatment: Cure Permanent and Variety status, and restore HP to the whole party
Support 2: Blast: Damages all enemy. Damage: High
Her skill tree consists of Poetry Wing, Record, Memorization, and Chronicle. Poetry Wing increases her HP, MP (up to 50% and 40% respectively), Lives, and Bomb. Record strengthens her physical attack. Memorization strengthens her magical attack. And Chronicle increases her gained experience and party experience value as well. (Note: Her 20 POW skill tree except for Poetry Wing increases her lives by 2). Increasing her Brush skill tree gives her small boost of PATK, MATK, ACC, Physical Deflect, and gives her healing skills and Mystic based attack.
Disclaimer: This information may be wrong though as I can't read Japanese that well.

--- Quote from: Serela on September 12, 2016, 02:37:08 PM ---...stage 23 is actually kinda hard. Stage 24 is easier by a long shot. There's a reason I brought Satori to spam stasuses for 23. x.x Hmm, with a strong stab weapon, though... what else were those dang beholders weak to? Instant Death? I don't remember which status was better to use. Sakuya's IND tree and Power Direction skills might be handy.

Status + Reisen = good way to kill enemies. Nitori's 6th tier weapon slays Transcendent. But it's counter though...
Stage 23 - Forest of Magic 3
To think I spent 3 days strategizing against that boss when answer is just right in front of my face: Spoiler: Yuugi.
Note: After this stage, I will effectively play the game blind as this is the last stage I play 2 years ago.
Serela:
Woohoo, onto easy stage.
Your Everyday NEET:
Stage 24 - Garden of the Sun 2
Serela's right again. This stage is easy.
But still, as you go on, your offensive and defensive option against boss becomes increasingly limited from here on out.
Serela:
Easy stage, easy boss. You might not have a lot of offense options, but it's not a very intimidating fight either, so eh. After these two fights your options -increase-, really, because you don't have quadruple hatreds crowding up the fights and necessitating Reimu along with whoever else. (Technically, Reimu is still a pretty important option for the next fight though, come to think of it... *coughs* But there's a few other ways around it! ...err... one or two other ways? >.>)
Spoiler: About Hina's last phase I was mentioning there- Normally, Reimu's unreflectable light attacks are the only real option for finishing the Hina fight off, but you can also Reflect attacks back at Hina (Cirno, Satori's Reflect Wall, Mirror Shield), and I'm not sure but you might be able to Reflect a dispel onto her or use Satori's Vortex? (Learn from terminator, probably) Although, unless you want to be weird, Reimu's the best option. Satori's Breaths and Marisa's lasers work, but you'd have to tank an awful lot of counters to beat the final phase that way. Hmm, I wonder if I'm forgetting any other unreflectable attacks... I don't -think- time stopping prevents reflection...?
Getting through the middle of the fight is easy. Anyone with a staff (or Sanae/Reimu) have magical dispels, and Satori/Reisen have physical dispels (plus Reisen does crazeballs damage as always), which let you dispel both of her normal barriers. Plus Reimu/Marisa can just outright ignore the magic reflection barrier. She's weak to dispel, so it's easy to inflict. Keep in mind that in order to be able to finish the fight, you have to be able to stop her regen- whether through preventing Dark land from building (Reimu or Patchouli's land skills), from Sakuya's Colloseo World, or from a strong enough poison. Otherwise you literally cannot trigger her final phase and she will refuse death.
But yeah, lots of materials! That's good, because people who craft a good amount of stuff in maingame will run out trying to craft all the orichalcon weapons... not to mention all the steel you'll go through trying to make armors, ouch.
