Anti-localization design edition.

Posting build again because fuck you new thread

Get 2 necromancers in prestige class A. Have 1 max out Open Grave, and the other max out Ghost Dance. At least one of them should have Ghost mastery maxed too. Invest their other skills in passives to keep ghosts up as much as possible.
Next, take a dragoon, prestige class A again. Max out Dragon's Roar and Preemptive roar. Build as a normal dragoon the rest of the way.

The rest of the build can be whatever you want. Cestus, Masurao and Herbalist all work pretty well.

Your average turn is:
Dragoon (with Dragon roar active) uses x guard skill (Healing is ideal). The necromancers set up Ghost dance and Open grave.
Each enemy that attacks the dragoon takes 9 attacks at 3600x damage, and 120% base paralysis. If an enemy is killed, the attacks overflow to other enemies. If anybody's still alive, each ghost attacks 3 times at the end of the turn.
No encounter has lasted more than one turn since I started doing this.

>>174621782
Probably to accidentally not draw too much? I'm already amazed this passed, and especially in the west.

Should have made those sprites for rest of the team as well, not only this would be hilarious but Flavio would sell if for fujos very likely

>>174622086
but then you'd be paying for 2 female and 3 males fanservice portraits with the dlc

it would be weighted to gay

>>174622086
The only reason I don't use them is that the mismatched team feels off. They dropped the ball there.
inb4 Flavio is just half a head peeking above the water surface.

Btw. enemies also have 3D models in fights instead of sprites...

>>174634227
>At least tell me that there's none of that "all equipment purchases reduce stock materials" anymore, that was awful, specially for consumables.
In EOU that only applies for items made from conditional drops. Gear made from normal drops can be purchased infinitely.

>>174634227
But running into the ball of fluff without knowing what to expect feels a lot better than running into the ugly big monster.

Eh, maybe once.
And since I like solving FOE puzzles instead of just murdering my way through seeing what enemy it is helps so I don't need to blindly guess its movement pattern.

I want EO3U and I want it now.

Buccaneers need to scale with AGI before the lategame.
Zodiacs need to stay relevant after the third stratum.
Yggdroids need to be completely reworked.
Ailments need to be worthwhile.
Ninjas need to be able to deal damage.
Farmers need to be able to contribute anything in fights.

Of course this feeling is only valid for the first time you encounter them, so I guess a compromise between both versions would be having fluffballs until you face them, then they turn into the monsters themselves.

I want them to use the promotion system from V in U3 instead of subclassing

Why do forges even exist anyway?

Most of them only work on normal attacks which are almost never used. And they're just too much of an investment for specific binds and ailments which aren't always that worth it. Basically if you're going to get a forge for some binds you're much better off just using a class that can inflict said bind.

>>174652407
Don't people just forge Atk/Ele or in the case of ailment inflicters Luck or something?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMEHM42AuCs

Why is this even allowed?

>>174652779
Yeah I know, the attributes are "alright"(they hardly make a difference) and Atk is just what people use most of the time.

>>174652779
They're also useful for stunlocking with dancers and... that's about it.
They really didn't think the system through and just did whatever assuming it's better than nothing/fixed stats.

>>174652906
Any explanations?

>>174653337
Sanzu is Warrior's Might 2.0 that's about it really

>>174653320
Yeah but Dancers don't really need that much help stunlock fishing when they're going to be attacking absurdly often in the first place.

>>174653937
I know, usually it's just the occasional bug or two.
But Sanzu is so blatantly and ridiculously broken that I wouldn't be surprised if it were nerfed in some simple way, like putting a more strict chase limit in place or limit what can be chased (from the party side)

She is wondering why he is allowed to wear that much clothing.

>>174670781
It's a completely strange skill.
If I understand it correctly, next turn people will chase your attack instead of you chasing theirs.
Those with a different weapon than you will deal a lot of damage but are only allowed a very limited amount of chases, those with the same weapon will deal less damage but chase more often.

Since no one besides Landsknecht can use Axes you probably would need to go with swords. Probably with a sword Protector and a sword... Dark Hunter? In the front line.
Back line needs bows our guns to actually deal damage.
So to even make proper use of it you need to build your entire party around it.

But the normal Chasers are even worse because only few classes can actually deal elemental damage.

So just use neither unless you want a super wonky party for whatever reason.

Why is Bushi supposed to be a bad main class?

File: 1491504663646.jpg (281KB, 772x723px) Image search: [Google]

281KB, 772x723px

>>174693869
Because in 4 skills past level 4 don't give much of a benefit and bushi don't have many good skills to begin with. You literally win nothing over bushi subclass

>>174693869
Mainly because all of its good skills are perfectly usable as a subclass and it doesn't gain very much from other subclasses either.

Feel free to use one though, don't let faggots here tell you you shouldn't.

>>174693869
Bushi is a class on par with other classes - if subclassing would not exist.

One point in Blood Surge means you get 45% more damage for 10HP and 5TP a turn.
Not only does that mean other classes like Imperial and Landsknecht get a massive boost (that Bushi can not get since they already have it) but since other classes have more TP the upkeep also hits Bushi harder than other classes.


I like using Bushi but for a boss exploding meme team they are only useful as a sub class.

Does EO4 get hard? The game started "kinda" hard but became easier and easier. I'm in 4th stratum and the encounters are so damn easy

>>174694926
Not till post game, unfortunately.

>>174693869
EO4 is terrible with scaling due to most actives/passives being top heavy meaning that the main advantage of being a Bushi mainclass is lost.

>>174695157
>due to most actives/passives being top heavy

What do you mean?

>>174692341
I want to grab Arianna's meat

>>174695258
In EO4, more often than not you get the best returns in your skills from the first half of it and not the last half.

Eg. Two points into Runic Guidance gives you +30% damage but 6 points gives you +40%.

>>174695347
And more importantly, in the case of blood surge the punishment becomes far too steep for how little reward there is. So level 1 or 2 work best even as main class.

>>174695347
Oh, ok. But that's kinda good design. In the first few games, you'd often only have a couple active skills even in the late-game due to the amount of passives you needed to max and the fact that most skills were rather only usable at lvl 10.

>>174695429
Blood Surge's penalty should have curved much more smoothly than the way they went about it. I fear for Yggdroids in the remake of 3.

>>174695508
They can't balance punishments for shit. Come EO5, they went the exact opposite way: the bonus of Crossing the Sanzu is so broken that the punishment becomes negligible - and even avoidable.

>>174695604
Yeah the whole, you can hit your allies with it is a non issue when you can just outspeed the boss or set up Aegis Shield instead.

>>174695508
Blood Surges penalty should have been the other way around. I don't care for that gimmicky passive that is supposed to synergize with a massive HP/TP drain.

But if Blood Surge 3 (the most a subclass can get) would hurt pretty bad it could still be used but only very carefully whereas Blood Surge 6 with the penalties that are now at 1 would still be a drain on Bushi's tiny TP pool.

>>174695686
Yeah and it would give Bushi a cool niche where it 's the only class that could actually use Blood Surge without worrying about the penalties.

Why is Crossing the Sanzu so broken? It does have a maximum number of chases from what I can see.

12 hits is really damn much and you will rarely ever get there so it might as well be unlimited.

5 hits from Chains can be reached and Chains also have a chance to fail unless you spent a turn setting up Chain Plus.

>>174696428
What makes it really broken is how simple it is to use.
Build any stable, functioning party with a 4kat Masurao and a Combo Boxer and you can go to town.

Holy shit, Grimoires are overpowered.
I just beat Juggernaut's sorry ass on Expert with a level 52 story party without using Unihorn.
By stacking defences on Bertrand I didn't need to prevent King's Rush from coming out - just used Sentinel Guard and it barely did anything.
And thanks to all the damage Grimoires give he could barely use King's Rush twice anyways before breaking down.

>>174711319
It maxes out at 25% but it can be useful to keep you going though mid-game.

Personally I would first max out damage passives and let all damage runes stay at half max rank - 1.
They are both strong (due to passive stacking) and cheap like this.

>>174711574
25% doesn't sound too reliable. I'll just skip it then. Especially since whenever my RM runs out of TP, its usually when everyone else is out anyway.

What is really sad is that this lazy as fuck developer practice of "if you are not playing how the devs want you to, the boss will break the game and wipe your party" is in way more games than it should be.

If you already killed him a few times, you don't really need that many buffs on your team.

Or just dispell/bind the turn the dragon use his instakill attack.

>>174714270
>Origin Rune
You shouldn't be using that that often in the first place.

>>174714079
Its helpful when it procs but its kind of point intensive when it first shows up. Besides Imp/Bushi subs do a lot more for your RM's longevity.

>>174715080
>"if you are not playing how the devs want you to, the boss will break the game and wipe your party"
Or maybe, faggot, you should just get good.

The point of the Storm Emperor and what differentiates it from the other dragons is that it discourages buffs. If you want to be lazy and go into the fight with the same approach you take to a ton of other boss fights you get your ass handed to you. Then you think, work around it, and win, as should be expected of any challenge, not this limpdicked whining on a korean knitting forum.

Why are we forced to sell all our food in town in EO4? Seems like a weird mechanic.

>>174716481
One, for money, since its already hard to come by in that game.

Two, it probably does that to disallow you from grinding up stuff like the dragon crystals or the golden food so that you always have free stat boosters on standby.

>>174716389
They are not interfering much with low skill requirements and lots of points in 4. There's no real reason to not max it

>>174715865
With free energy you can.

Alright just beat Flame Demon in Untold 2 with the story mode party and before I complete the mission I think I want to rest everyone first because my party builds are sub-par at best (and Chloe is complete dead-weight except for the occasional healing). I also think I made a huge mistake investing in Pre-Provoke for Bertrand and Chain Dance for Flavio considering they don't really mix.

>>174716481
So it's harder to abuse stuff like fire or ice crystals and so you have to pick medic if you want to use usually poisonous food

>>174715614
>literally have their genders poking from their heads

>>174716930
might as well, next strat is totally fire spec territory

Why is the first stratum always some generic forest?

>>174716930
Provoke is garbage overall. Just get line guard and passives.

For Chloe get ailing slash and vampire asap

>>174716927
>65 TP every fight just because you have a 25% chance of not spending it

Why aren't you using Flame/Blizzard Rune instead?

>>174717212
because it's a giant tree

>>174717212
muh traditions
same as why stratum 3 is always a shithole and stratum 6 is local hell
>>174717319
Because origin rune is much more helpful in hall of darkness 2 and 3

>>174717307
Alright but for Flavio should I focus on ailments or dodge tanking? Latter seems more fun but I wanna help Chloe as much as I can as well. Also are the other War Edge skills even worth investing in?

>>174715778
I'm not even using a huge number of buffs. That's just the way my party works and I've been having fun with it so far. I enjoy using stuff blood surge and charge on my imperial or runic gleam on my rune master and so on. But apparently I'm not allowed to play like that lest I risk having my entire party wiped out from 100% to 0 in one turn.

I remember a smt had something similar. If you used certain defensive buffs the bosses would just enrage and break the game with multiple almighty moves until there was nothing left.

Always made me wonder, if the bosses have moves that can easily kill your entire party in a turn or two, why don't they just use that from the beginning?

>>174717473
>if the bosses have moves that can easily kill your entire party in a turn or two, why don't they just use that from the beginning?
Because videogame rules

>>174717473
I don't want to say to you to git gud, but take in consideration that is good that some bosses force you to take your fight under a different perspective.

>>174717418
At least the stratum 3 have a something going for them. Most stratum 2s are just boring.

>>174717816
There is no denying it could have been less cheap than simply start spamming insta-death moves that they were holding under their sleeve just in case you didn't play like intended.

>>174718147
still fairer than blizzard king's mirror shieldo

>>174718147
Well, that's just it. You're not supposed to use a ton of buffs.

As for why they don't use it at the start, maybe it's something dumb like the Storm Emperor likes fair simple all out brawls and the minute the opponent starts buffing they pull out their nasty stuff. I've played enough Dark Souls PvP to know the feeling.

>>174718507
The game has multiple ways to build your characters and team and you are supposed to be free to build them however you like. It's completely natural to have some fights being easier than others for different kind of builds. What is not natural, and is actually lazy as fuck from the developers part, is to have a complete absolute road block with literal forced insta-death spam in case you prefer to play in X way or in case you built your team towards that.

It would have been less cheap and less lazy for them to implement some way in which the fight is clearly not going in your favor if you want to play with a certain style, but at the same time you are not completely blocked out of it by borderline cheating and the boss breaking the game by pressing a delete button on your characters.

You don't look like a person who actually reads though so whatever, just blindly fling shit then.

>>174717452
Dodge tanking is really not necessary.
First of all, the actual dangerous moves are area based and best dealt with Bertrand's Walls.

You said you beat Flame Demon - what would a dodge tank do against Kingly Fire? Dodge one hit and the others go straight into the faces of your team.

Bertrand spamming Front Guard and using the Walls if needed is all the defensive you need so ailments for Chloe are a much better use for Flavio.
Ailing Slash is worth it - it deals crazy amounts of damage.

>>174721262
But dodge tanking is fun. Are you saying I shouldn't have fun?

>>174721315
yes

>>174721315
If you want to have fun then do it - just be prepared that it is not the best thing to use in many situations.

You will soon have enough points to diversify your build so it should be possible to pick up some ailments even if you go dodge tank.
Since sleep is dispelled after one attack you could ignore it to lessen your skill point needs.


Also for you ultimate dodging fun: There is later on a food that "improves blindness".
That description is all the game gives you is completely underselling it.
If you have that food active blinded enemies will miss like 99% of the time if not more often.

With that and blind arrow everyone can have fun dodging! And you can spam Hazy Arrow like mad.

>>174722743
>With that and blind arrow everyone can have fun dodging! And you can spam Hazy Arrow like mad.
Huh didn't think of that. Yeah I guess blinding everyone will be fun. I guess Chain Dance can wait way later. Thanks! Oh by the way what should I invest in for Fafnir?

>>174720505
It's postgame - i'm also not a big fan of that design but I don't hate the developers for throwing shit like that at the people crazy enough to dive into that part of the game.
There is a reason the end of the story and the "well done" message come before that.

Also I feel that dragon is a better fit in EOIV than in other titles - there are very few skills that put buffs on everyone.
In EO, EOII and EOIII there was a class build around putting a lot of buffs onto a lot of people so against Storm Emperor they were borderline useless.
In EOIV all you have to do is a slight change in tactic and then be able to win a fight by throwing a bit less math at people. Nothing too concerning.

>>174723082
On Fafnir I always ignore all physical skills.
I go all Sabers 4 (push them to 4 one after another instead of equally so you have one stronger Saber to use against enemies not weak against any particular element), Delayed Chase 10 (with as many Grimoire levels as you can get), all Sabers 9 (with no Grimoire levels until very late in the game since TP costs explode with 10+).
Then I go for Force Energy. It takes a lot of points to get there but refilling your TP is great in bossfights.

>>174723652
>>174723082
get resonance though

>>174723885
I never find the 14 points necessary for it (5 Points in Katana Mastery to get from Delayed Chase to Resonance, 9 points to max it out) and I also rarely if ever miss it.
For random encounters I prefer using Saber + Link Order II to get some area damage and for FOEs and bosses I go Delayed Chase -> Transformation as soon as possible.

>>174724342
matter of opinion, maybe, I found accelerate or force charge + resonance way more impressive that delayed chase
endgame faf is just pure wavespam of course

>>174720505
That you prefer to follow one tactic of many doens't mean that said tactic should work in your favor every time.
Maybe there were better ways to do it, like the boss outright removing your buffs, but that doesn't make it unfair - just put some damn variation in what you've been doing for the whole game.
If you specialized so much into a specific rotation that you can't win without it (which isn't the case because this is EO4), then you've created a glaring weakness yourself so dont get mad when the game finally exploits that weakness.

It's just one damn post-game battle. Just get out of your comfort zone for one time and work around the test! use the tools tha tyou have! Like just doing the same thing as always minus the buff abuse or the painless rest option.

That the game allows you to create one of many different builds and beat the game with it doesn't mean that you're allowed to go hyper-specific with it with no flexibility and the game must bend over to your preference every single time.

The actual flaw of that fight is that there's nothing telling you why you're being punished if you can't figure it out.

It could be useful to use between transformations, that's true... I'll try it out and see for myself.

>>174725004
Not really. It will always deal 2-3 hits.
If it hits two times it's barely stronger than the Sabers (which you want anyways because the Waves are utterly crazy in their damage) and even weaker than Sonic Raid.
And with three hits it's still weaker than Resonance - I'm not a big friend of Fafnir using pure physical skills so him spamming them is something I like even less.

His turn order is
random, random, Arm Mixer, change to fire, random, Flame Mixer, change to ice, random, Ice Mixer, change to volt, random, Volt Mixer, change to physical.
Afterwards his elementals change differently but afaik he stays with change -> random -> Mixer -> change for one rotation.
If he gets to physical another time he goes into full clown fiesta mode.

Physical takes 100% from everthing.
Fire takes 150% from ice and 10% from everthing else.
Ice takes 150% from volt and 10% from everthing else.
