What a nice filler, thank you MXC!

Somehow, I either didn't save or I lost the save of my Pangoat battle. So I had to do it all over again, and it went much much worse than the first time. I think probably because I was tilted and didn't want to care anymore.

Anyway, I also could play the second battle this time. Lost Tyrin and Randolf to... unfortunately aggroing 3 monks together and not being able to attack them with everything. So they healed forever. That was the first time I managed to aggro them together like that...

Karna reached level 10 and is now officially broken (got boost 2). Bowie got Bolt 2 as well. Tilted or not, I still tried to get everyone on the same level or so. Everyone is either 10 or 11, except my 2 deaths on the 2nd map which are 9, but 1 kill away from 10 and frankly, they're good characters, I don't think catching them up will be a problem.

There, I'm done messing up. Next!

Zalbard battle notes:

Almost lost to the first Wyvern that came down, but it luckily used fire breath.
Successful Desoul on a Dark Knight.
Luke sucks, I hope he gets the boot.
The Life Ring always feels like cheating, not that I'm complaining.
No Freeze 3 for Tyrin is a real drag. So is not having Neptune for Kazin.
Claude is not an enemy.
I love Randolf in Chirrup Sandals.
Made the last Dark Knight slip into a haze (Muddle), and he went off and killed the Master Monk feeding Zalbard. Kazin has been a lot of fun this battle (and either Dark Knight's are susceptible to this shit or I got lucky.)
Tyrin learned Freeze 3!
No deaths. Had to leave the Dark Knight since I figured he or Zalbard would be moving soon and would kill 1 of 3 members.

Taya (SORC) joined in her usual spot! - Replaces Higins
Gerhalt joined (but somebody had to exclude him!)
This means that only Frayja is left to join and immediately go to the caravan.
Gave the Critical Sword to Luke.

Pacalon Battle!

It's nice to have a Sorcerer around, even if she's crap.
Taya learned Neptune.
Sarah learned Detox 3.
Everyone is level 12, except Sarah and Luke (13).
Lemon (GLDT) joined! He replaces n00b!

No deaths across the battles. Lemon just got all of Bowie's gear. Outside of maybe some healing drops, we're good to go.

Current Force is a little soft. We have 5 casters (2 MMNK. 2 WIZ, 1 SORC) plus May and Luke. We're also pretty slow too, with casters being slow, Rohde, Zynk, and GLDT Lemon being slow as well.

Code: Select all

Sarah
Kazin
May
Luke
Karna
Randolf
Tyrin
Rohde
Taya
Claude
Zynk
Lemon
The Remaining Force is pretty damn solid though, outside of Kiwi, and Chaz to a degree. Gyan isn't super necessary right now, and Elric might be cursed to being a SNIP. Still, it'll be nice to get some versatility from Slade and Eric!

Code: Select all

Slade
Kiwi
Elric
Eric
Gyan
Chaz

Well, I know Karna has boost and all, but Kazin plays first and I wanted to engage quickly.

Yeah well, you inherited a team that can survive a 90 or 93 attack on 0 percent terrain. I didn't have that much on Pangoat.

Generally I use boost on super to not have to rely on luck (that the enemy doesn't get a double or a crit). Use it about as little as I can get away with.

I mean I could have just edited my last post, but this is fine too :D

Not a lot to report about this battle. Had a close call when a master monk decided to do a second heavy attack on Luke, other than that everything went fine. Elric joined. That's pretty much it.

But then nobody would see it ;)

Elric promotes to Brass Gunner and, unfortunately, replace Sarah :(

I finished the Moun battle, I advanced very slowly always putting our tanks in the front to soak up all the damage, this way I got through the battle withou any losses but I also had to use some of our Healing Drops.

But I had to stop for now because Slade joined and I have no idea who I should kick out?
