Did anybody lose a ton of interest in the game once they got skells?
I was loving this game and having a great time and then all of a sudden I have a skell with no explanation whatsoever on how it works or what the fuck the various abilities on weapons mean or how they will work before you buy them. Even once you figure it out, you get stuck fighting lvl 12 pop out enemies at lvl 40+ because there's no way to avoid them now and they just waste time plus exploration feels less fun and battle is boring as fuck.
I honestly wish they had kept it to ground only like the original and let you explore other ways. I was really enjoying this game and now I'm losing all my interest because I feel like skells are mandatory for fighting a bunch of enemies and exploration.
>>140315326
>you can't have a skell from the get go because they don't trust you enough because you're a rookie
>several chapters later
>hey we think you're the next best thing since Elma here's a skell, you earned it
you could just keep it in your garage. I rarely fight in my skell and use it for exploration.
>>140315326
You know you can see what the weapons do before you buy/equip them. Use your triggers.
>getting stuck fighting and other things that literally never happen
The only 'mandatory' skell fights are in highly inaccessible areas, and most of them can still be done on foot if you're determined.
Anybody else feel like Sylvalum was completely phoned in and boring? There's nothing to explore.
>>140315326
I think I avoided this situation just by exploring a lot before I got skells
At this point in the game, you're probably still going to do a lot of ground fighting since your skell is probably trash.
Skell fighting is either having weapons that can kill the enemy quickly without waiting for cooldown, which is boring, or having diskbombs. Diskbomb combat feels entirely different than the rest of skell combat; it's still just mashing X but at least it feels like a fight.
>>140316181
Actuall I think the contrary.
The heavily surveyed open areas are a nice change from Noctilum and Oblivia and it has many cool places and things around.
>>140316181
(You)
>>140316181
It's a throwback to a miyazaki movie (Nausicaa) so if you think of it that way it's neat.
>>140315293
I'll check in a bit. Not at my meme database right now.
Index here. Do I need to be a BLADE before I can do any of the online trash? Cuz I'm a Curator now and I want my team to quit being in sixth place which will never happen.
;_;
>>140317026
Yes.
You can start going online in Chapter 3 or 4 (can't remember which one right now).
>>140317026
Yes.
That being said, division ranks mean squat the prizes you get for having a high rank division are not useful, I wouldn't worry and just pick a division to get blade points / to give others good blade support (Harriers give probably the most useful support.)
>>140316181
It's contending with Cauldros for my least favorite area and winning.
It's both super open AND super dense with enemies. Any quest that needs to be done there is sure to end in tears. I was doing Alexa and Frye's recruitment quests and I had to spam "Assemble!" every time a Xe-dom raced past while doing Alexa's quest so people wouldn't end up aggroing it. When doing Frye's, I had to try lure away Liceors without triggering either the Lepyx standing behind them, the Aevitar to the side of them or the Xe-dom racing past. After killing one Frye learned Gatling Tornado and triggered everything nearby.
There's also the "fuck you" spores, the No Fun Allowed police Xe-Doms, shit that jumps out of the ground everywhere you go, fucking Jaculs and the most unnerving aesthetic of any continent where everything looks kind of pretty but is actually super ugly.
For the record, Obliva is my favorite continent because of how open it is while still full of things worth seeing and driving too (and the Dune aesthetic it has) followed by Primordia because of how it's layered, then Noctilum because the density of paths and focus on vertical areas while being relatively narrow, then Cauldros because it's a pain to explore and a challenge to navigate.
>>140304841
>>140317026
You can check who won, swap to the winners, grab the loot and go back to your division.
>>140317663
This should've been the school dress.
>>140317026
I'd focus more on a division that got me a lot of blade points to make probing and treasure easier. Curators are pretty good for that.
>>140310131
Woo baby. Finally going to play it legally.
>>140315326
it's different alright, but i enjoyed it MORE. suddenly there was EVERYTHING
what i would have done differently:
encouraged / required you to go to sylvalum and cauldros (even if only in a tiny restricted area) first, instead of simply making it possible (there's all this cool aerial walkway shit in cauldros but it's fucking imposslble to do til youre super strong)
skells were balanced kinda badly. they make you too strong, yet they also blow up SO damn easily.. and they render the whole class system a pointless afterthought. yet i fucking adore them... yet.. there's a million weapons for them but you'll be stuck using the same dozen or so because the stranger ones only drop from a few specific enemies you probably wont go after, because you have no REASON to.
thaat i think is the biggest issue.. see in xenoblade, if you did all the town quests (and why not? free experience AND you learn more about the world, and you get legitimately vital rewards, plus a ton of the quests lead surprisingly into other, much more unmissably important quests), you were tasked with fighting every kind of enemy, so you got little tastes of everything. little bits of every possible drop.
Here, the only reason for doing THOSE quests is fucking tank tops. even the experience and affinity bonuses are so miniscule theyre not worth it, and you hit your level cap so fucking quickly (and once you have skells who cares about level).
so basically it wasnt knitted together as well as it could have been. but I still fucking love skells and always will
>>140319768
>favorably comparing the quests in the previous game for any reason ever
Fuck off.
>>140316181
I remember realizing I had explored more of cauldros than sylvalum and felt weiiird about that. Basically sylvalum is a kind of a problematic 'valve' as it were. If you can get to it, you can get through it, you can get past it. it has no reason to be there except to make it longer to get to cauldros, and it spends almost NO time as 'the latest place you can get to' the way noctilum and oblivia did
there are PARTS of sylvalum i love (the highlands.. holy shit. the untargetable unmoving drinking cervids, the lake with its bizarre bloatymoose) but the overall nature of it is just weird. it's like... 60 percent edge. it's like an overbaked cookie whose hard edges make up most of its mass. Basically it tells no 'story' the way the others do.
There's still a cave in it somewhere i never explored because i was too scared, and now i can't fucking find it. I think. maybe i did and cleaned it out.. i'm just going by yellow squares now.. whereas yesterday I saw a yellow square, followed it into a cave, and it disappeared when i got into a fight. since when do they do that? turned out that cave had tons of treasures in it but it was so STUFFED with enemies i never found them before.
>>140316354
>At this point in the game, you're probably still going to do a lot of ground fighting since your skell is probably trash.
eh.. maybe i was just lucky and got good weapons, but I found my level 20 could tear apart things right up to level 39 with little difficulty. once you figure out how Bind works youre all set.
>>140317490
you can? i thought you had to be in that division for a day before you got it. also i heard there was a 'severe penalty' for switching
>>140319198
whichever one gets 5 points per blue crystal is best for early game.
>>140320143
the basic quests yeah! they're basically the same, what are you talking about?
my point is it gave you a real solid legit reason to go fight everything. here in X there's huge swaths of combat you can just skip because why bother? maybe there's useful drops, but you won't know til practically endgame anyway
>>140320503
The game talks about a penalty but there isn't one.
I think you can even get out of the rewards screen without picking a prize so if you forgot to change you don't miss on the top items.
>>140320945
shit if it wasnt a pain in the ass i'd start doing that
because i want to be a mediator just on principle
but i'd also kinda prefer getting melee attack and/or HP boosting
>>140321014
I've been a Reclaimer since the beginning and I thought it was fitting to ransack the rewards.
>>140320503
I think that's curator. They also get decent points for other activities. I hit rank 10 around chapter 10.
>>140320945
how do you check who won? never bothered with divisions outside of reward tickets and collecting rewards every now and then
New rule: If you don't have at least one robot limb you're not a real BLADE. I finally got to the part where I'm killing xenos and even they're praising me. They shout GOOD when they're at 50% HP and I love it.

yeah. that fucker doesnt drop them nearly often enough and there's only one of him.. so just buy the shits
it's kind of bothersome how easy and yet hard it is to buy things.. it's damnright necessary since grinding otherwise is painful to the point even koreans wouldnt do it. Not long enough to get everything anyway.

I don't know which special characteristics they ought to have.. i only used it briefly in the fight against that stupid thermal-reflecting lava bug tyrant, because literally everything else i had to put on that shoulder was thermal
>>140349225
You want them with Magsize, so they shoot more limb-targetting rockets/beams. Without it they probably work, too, but you'll need to use it more times but it'd hardly be good for farming to have to wait out the cooldown.
And craft some Crush.Appendage augs so that they can break things with the low damage they do.
Update! Jeanne complete! Onto the next!
44/53
>>140349469
shit and apparently they have to be from the right manufacturer too or they dont target appendages properly. i guess beam-based meredith ones are the ones you want?

Or you could just buy the weapons from the shop.
All Sakuraba, Meredith, and Spanish Rice made skell weapons are available in the shop.
Compared to your access of interesting gear, The much bigger problem with skell weapons is that the balance is WAY off with some being egregiously OP (Drones) and others being never worth using compared to what else you could put in that slot (Chaingun)

>>140396054
Blueprints from humanoid enemies are for the bottom half of the ground weapons.
Blueprints from crates are lvl50 superweapons.
For the augments you need at least one of each material to see what it is and need. Just go to the augment search at the OP.

>>140410136
fucking awesome game yeah. great story. try to avoid spoilers
>>140410343
cmon it's a wii game. i cant justify downloading games that fucking recent.
>>140410136
I'd say so.
Wii's gameplay in general was slower but more rewarding, the OST more conservative and fucking 10/10, heavier on the story and characters but the sidequests were ass 80% and the minor ones disappear after certain points in the game.
>>140410158
I want one of those
>>140410524

>>140410670

>>140410524
Yes, but it's a wii game that looks notably better if you can run it with Dolphin. I still think you should buy it because it's a good game, but the experience itself is potentially nicer if you can play it smoothly on your computer.

basically the biggest shit is the couple major areas where eventually you can lose access to quests, and the colony 6 restoration materials. that one's really a bitch. if you want ol' c6 to get fully restored you HAVE to make sure you get enough of the right collectibles, a few of which are a pain in the ass, (and some of which are in areas that you lose access to later) and get an extra for your collectopedia if you care about that.
other than that though it's not a stressful game
>>140412118
That's how it should have looked in the first place. The existing male version is retarded.
>>140412248
I acually woud've preferred it.
>>140412171
Didn't know you could lock youself out of a fully restored C6. That's a dick move.
>>140412587
Pilots should look slutty, after all.
You can't lock yourself out, I don't think. It's just that the workaround if you don't get the materials in the normal way involves a lot of reloading until the special balls in colony 6 randomly spawn what you need.
>>140412171
thanks m8 appreciate it. dl'ing as we speak. loves chronicles x so i figured i'd enjoy this too.i was the second person to finish every quest in x...rip my life that week...
>>140412780
those extras are really limited arent they
>>140412808
the combat's a little bit different, so hopefully you dont mind a little bit more work on certain aspects. for example you get points you use to level up the arts just like X, but totally DIFFERENT points than the ones you use to beef up the inter-character battle-link things (youll get it eventually), and once you get the arts high enough you actually have to get a 'book' as an enemy drop (previous levels of those books you can buy in stores, but the highest is a drop) so it's.. it's slightly complicated, less streamlined than X, but you have a lot fewer characters to worry about so don't worry

Okay so after the ending in XCX how should a sequel take it from here? Mira is a weird as fuck planet and it wouldn't surprise me that the continents aren't native to the planet itself and it looks like they were fused in a way.
>>140430036
honestly i cant imagine it being done in a satisfactory way. you can't just go "IT TURNS OUT IT WAS ___"
the best case scenario, it takes place 5, 20, or 50 years in the future, dealing with the immediate, mid-term, or long-term consequences.. gameplaywise i think we'd all love to see a systemwide frontiernav and some space exploration. and theyve established that mira makes no sense as normal space, so you could even have interplanetary robot exploration, finding strange creatures behind tiny house-sized asteroids..
>>140430036
I could think about an imminent sequel where they set to find about why they are still online despite the server being busted.

I think a game set even a couple 100 years later could work. Humanity's started spreading across the galaxy, your party consists of people who've lived their entire lives on whatever planet they were born and people still aren't entirely sure what Mira was. Maybe Ganglion stragglers are super rare enemies who take spike damage just from being in tour presence as a consequence of them having forced humanity off earth, with their appearance serving only as a continuity throwback to X like Nopon reappearing.
Nothing in X's story would matter or be resolved, other than the fact that everything turns out alright in the longrun
Besides, X's cliffhanger is pure sci-fi pulp schlock. I can accept it for that. I've come to terms with it. Making an entire new game just to say "it was Alvis all along LOL" would be a waste of resources and time that could be spent on a game that can stand on it's own merits.
>>140434853
the problem with a few centuries is that this conflict would be ancient history by then, and technology would almost certainly have achieved a complete singularity by then. it's already the future. i'm not saying never, but i don't think 'next' that should happen. sounds like you're okay with the problems i have with it though

Latest is 5.5.1, if you've been online lately you'll be at least 5.5.0, as far as I know updates are automatic as long as there's connection so 5.5.1 most probably.
There was some work on the way for 5.5 but it got abandoned after the hacker got apparently busted for something related to PS4. Work on it is being done but nothing is really coming any time soon.

eh.. i appreciate it but if that's how it's going to be then nevermind. guarantee they'll be like 'you can't run this til you update' for some other future thing, and then i'll be fucked
still would be nice to have the game i fucking paid for have the content japan fucking put in it.
>>140441839
Kill the adds etc. I forget if you learn cyclone before then.
>>140442505
Maybe you should demand the ability to give them $20 for all the Japanese dlc they gave you for free then. You know, while you're being principled.
>>140444361
i don't know if there's a name for "i can take something away because i just gave you something free" mentality, but it's gotta be something like indian giving, and i won't stand for it.
>>140444754
You should also give them an additional $10-20 for the discount you got for the base game, which was $70-80 in Japan.
Then maybe you can go to bed and sleep a few years until you're old enough not to act like this is some kind of brand new controversy anyone outside your hugbox still gives a shit about.
>>140445214
it is brand new as fuck, dude. people didnt do this
they censored violence and shit, removing blood or whatnot
then they fucking started reversing it, and then JAPAN was getting the violencecensored games, and it was like.. what?
>>140447271
It's a routine practice that is older than you, and this is a very mild example. Now fuck off back to /v/ if you're so determined to shitpost about it.
>>140447865
but it isnt though. nobody gave two shits about jailbait til this last decade or so. like i said, it was all 'ohnoes blood'
and jesus dude, i wouldnt have said anything further if you hadnt added your ludicrous 'it's okay because we got the DLC' rationalizing. i just gave up trying to fix it, and lamented that it's not a little easier, because it's not THAT big a deal that it's worth overturning heaven and earth for it. but worth a try if possible. you're the one making it into a big thing.
all i know is, if someone ever says "i'm going to do some reprehensible shit against your will, but it's okay because i just paid you off by giving you something else for free. something it cost me nothing to give you of course" that is a goddamn policitian you're talking to

now now let's not make it any worse. i'm sure he's just heard a bunch of people who never fucking shut up about the issue and he's transferring that annoyance onto me just because i reminded him of them
>>140452730
Partly, yes, but this has also been the standard practice of Nintendo and other Japanese developers since the 8-bit era. It's not new in any way. Getting mad about it now and acting like it's some new outrage, which most definitely is a recent 4chan echo chamber fetish, smacks of me-tooism and ignorance of history.
I'll give you credit for not invoking the usual boogeyman though.
>>140453412
it just isn't, that's all. you were there, you remember.
and in any case, it's not the practice of 'japanese developers' since we're talking localization here.
8-bit era? they were censoring out crosses and devils and shit
16-bit era and a bit afterwards it was all ohnoes, there might be blood, with a bit of the former
plus here and there, intermittently, bits of scantycladdery was edited. cleavage here, short skirt there. EvilZone comes to mind.
Up til about the Wii era we had a lot of censored language, things softened, obviously no swears allowed, up til they finally decided fuckit the world wont end if they say shit and bitch and other things with most of those letters.
but worrying about someone being too young and censoring that ONE character specifically for their scanty outfits? that is brand spanking new.
oh sure, aging them up because they were in too many 'adult situations', yeah, that was around. but this one specific thing, this is new. sorry to get all autistic about italso i have never played very many games, so it's EXTREMELY possible i'm wrong
>>140454235
The nature of what gets regularly changed may vary over time, but it's all the same issue. Altering clothing was less 'necessary' in simpler times because there was only so scandalous an NES or SNES sprite could get, but even games like Earthbound and FF5 or 6 had clothing added for westerners.
Personally I'm never thrilled by changes like this, but in the case of this game the amount of sexual and other mature content that could have been changed but wasn't is so extreme that it makes the froth about it look really dumb. It's not like the reasoning is completely insane either, at least for Lin. The fundoshi, on the other hand, remains an annoying mystery.
>>140455025
yeah i get it, you think it's all spiritually the same thing, you made that clear. as clear as i made it that i'm talking about this one very distinct specific thing. you get that, right?
and the only reason i bring it up is that it feels like the big bag of 'reasons' for doing what, yes, has been done since before I was born, is still getting fatter (or at least staying the same). and that bag.. should be emptying. so yeah, a newer one pisses me off in its own special unique way that i'm not done being mad about yet

I'm thinking about if i should go get wii u xenoblade premium pack, Is this game worth 300?
>>140472249
Probably not, then again if I were you i'd wait for the NX or something if you don't actually have a WiiU yet
>>140472173
Didn't know Celica looked that great on the bod.
>>140472249
Did you play Xenoblade? Any other Monolith games?
I've invested 400h and going but this is /xbcxg/ after all.
Buying a console for just one game is not worth it. The game is awesome and if you've played the first one, this keeps the basic formula, but the quality of the storytelling and characters drops somewhat in favor of sidequests that have improved greatly and are intertwined to a certain degree, there's a clear focus on the exploration of a massive and wild world that's finely done, although if you rush your way you'll lose on some of it due to skells.
And some tacked online content that's not really worth mentioning, works as a nice bonus but nothing else.
And what >>140472594 says, seems Wii U is getting dropped hard. Can't think of any game I'm interested for it anymore.
>>140472594

Random talent art ideas;
>Duelist/Samurai Gunner talent arts
>>Iaido Blade; grants an aura that allows for Cockpit Mode style instant skill cooldowns (complete with sheath/unsheathe animation on proc)
>>Battle Hunger; melee art whose strength is based on enemies killed in same battle before using it, and grants buffs upon a successful kill based on the same parameter. In other words, taking out but one mook will make the attack super strong and grant huge buffs upon taking out that mook
>Bastion Warrior/Shield Trooper
>>Mad Taunt; draws aggro and can inflict Flinch, Stagger etc based on morale and active auras
>>Battlecry; instead of debuffing enemies, buffs allies with strength increasing based on morale
>Galactic Knight/Blast Fencer
>>Buntling Shot; grants 9th Skell Art; launches the pilot into battle at high speed, dealing damage and supercharging any attacks used while in flight. Looks really cool even if it's not the most useful

>>140503241
How come?
>>140505581
>How come?
Many people on 4chan are into innocent girls so expect Melia to be mentioned often, Reyn is a walking and breathing meme and Dunban appeals to people who either try to act more mature than they actually are or need to be which usually applies to people younger than 25, and most 4chan users are younger than 25.

He didn't return in the latest monster mash which brought back quite a few old dudes so I guess it just ain't his time to rise again.
Speaking of which we shouldhunt together when the game comes out
I get 8 Sylooth White things but only 4 Blue ones. Why's that? Same amount of parts break and blues drops 2 per arm, I think, while whites drops those too along another one on some other parts, it seems.

Not really.
If it gets killed it takes longer for it to reapper, else the bar already start almost halfway filled.

oh is that right?
okay but that whole 'your stacks of spoils turn into proper stuff' thing only happens if it gets defeated, right?

That it does, yes, but it's not really worth it. You are better off exchanging them for tickets and buying the golds/emeralds yourself.
>>140538614
right, so that one stack i'm saving, i'd better get rid of it if it's almost about to end

theyre the only weapons i care about! the ranged weapons are terribad.

and my doll would have a double ended beam trident and an icebeam thingy, concealed forearm mounted laserbeamys, and just fucktons of shoulder mounted missiles.. and wings. and digitigrade legs with boosters.

>Marimite
Seems pretty gay. Any good?
>>140647391
My personal favourite of all time, though it's definitely an acquired taste. The gayness is the tricky part; it's class S, often (erroneously) considered yuri and assumed to have heavy lesbian subtext, but it really depends on how the reader/viewer takes it in. The author has denied any lesbian undertones (apart from one relationship told as a flashback) and insists it's all about romanticized platonic friendships and sisterly ties, and I tend to agree with her on it.
It's slow, pretty and graceful, but also extremely melodramatic. There are no antagonists or even any truly ill-willing characters; most problems stem from misunderstandings and are solved by talking them over and forgiving. Zero action, zero fanservice. Great characters, lovely setting and amazing music. On the downside, since it's a studio DEEN show, the animation quality is occasionally dodgy (though the slow pace improves things somewhat, and from season 3 onwards the quality improves considerably).
>>140648884
Hmm, sounds interesting. I'll definitely have to give it a go at some point.
>>140648884

I ask because I want to hunt all the uniques but I don't want to be over leveled because I heard doing side quests easily over levels you in that game so I don't want to do any side quests if possible.
I have a Google doc link with locations for all the UMs but I'd just like to know if I can kill them all without having to do certain side quests first.

good for you man. you should probably build up HB and boze too. these are the three who, when you do all their affinity missions, you get free fantastic dolls. except the two guys give you level 30s.. better than NORMAL level 30s, but obviously useless for later. whereas axena gives you a 60, but it's worse than a normal 60. but it's the first and easiest one you can get at that level

then again all the level30s are great, at least two of them have better heads than the higher level equivalents, so

mira is a lonely planet whose sentient inhabitants built a big fucking crazy sky cannon in oblivia and shot themselves far across the universe, leaving it sad and alone
so it sends out Higgs-Umbridge Graviton waves and these HUGs pull in anyone in need, whether it's in need of a new planet, needing to find a target you need to genocide, or just needing to be taught what pizza is.
it's kinda like the conciousness of the planet in Chrono Trigger except Mira is clingy as fuck and would actually be happy to get a Lavos, at least it's company. and long-term at that.

Cross is the lifecore database uploaded into a single mimeosome. Their amnesia is the result of a million different memories failing to cooperate, as is Cross's bipolar answers (you can go from serious to wacky as to please). Mira copied the lifecore files into you because reasons
Should I accept this shitty Ma-Non's offer, or have him teach us the technology?
>>140777564
well i mean shit i cant exactly get mad at xanthe, it's not that he needed to be worshipped, he needed to be ALIVE. he made a crummy universe with too much entropy and too narrow an ecosystem, so if he lets things just drain the limited ether supply, he'll be hella dead. plus he's been trapped in a mortal body which is itself chained up for like, most of his godhood

Finally decided to get off my ass and take on Definian Downfall.

I think this is enough healing http://i.imgur.com/O1j2zwe.jpgThis is the most you can heal in one art
so since no one is here or cares, I may as well ramble.
I have been doing some experimentation with AI in this game. Particularly the case where I'm challenging myself to beat certain tyrants depending purely on AI and coordination.
We all know some characters have very good AI, like Doug/Celica/L. But I wanted to try and understand some of the wierd AI like Lin for example.
Lin wants to be a tank, and as a tank, she should be spamming trash talk as much as possible so the others don't get aggro'd.
But I noticed some rather wierd AI behavior.
First, she is almost guaranteed to never use Trash Talk if you are facing a single enemy. But she is 100% guaranteed to Trash talk, if you face more than 1. But there seems to be a caveat to this. If she has even one of the following arts arts: Wild Smash/Fire Carnival/Drum Roll, she will constantly spam them. And since there arts have low cooldown, basically she'll rarely be using Trash talk.
So I gave Lin the following arts:
Trash Talk, Reality Rift, Flame Cloak, Shield Wall, Enhanced Stand, Wild Down
Nothing more. And found that she seems to work way more consistently as a tank.
I also noticed that the augments: Extend Taunt is ridiculously easy to make even at the very beginning of the game. You don't even need bonjelium. Having Extend Taunt makes a massive difference. She seems to behave more like Reyn in XC rather than Lin.
anyway end of rant.
>>140814354
This for next OP.
Congrats, good job.
>>140814796
>end of rant
If you got any insight on the AI, please, do share. It's good to know that those arts handicap her tanking capabilities, for example.And I never had thought of giving tanks the Extend Taunt augment.
>>140791926
That looks great.
Females should have had neoprene suits, too.
>>140816764
Well That's good I'll share some more info. And yes experiment with Extend Taunt, you need like 5 small insect legs which you can get from level 2 Blattas and 1, just 1 marine rutile. To extend taunt for fucking 20 seconds. Mind you that Trash Talk maxed to level 5 with all those BP wasted gives you only 14 seconds, and when that ends Trash Talk still hasn't cooled down yet.
More AI testing: I noticed, Gatling Guns and Rayguns under AI.
Any Gatling Gun art that targets more than one enemy whether on Fry/Lin/Nagi, will never be used by the AI, unless more than one enemy. Aura's that involve healing will only see use if the AI is about 1/3 ~ 1/2 health.
But Rayguns for some reason, even arts that target more than one enemy is still used even if you face a single enemy. Raygun AI seems to be independent of whether you face one enemy or more, unlike Gatling Gun arts.
But a really easy way to make the AI use Gatling Gun arts is to just find another enemy and just press R to target, then quick change back to the original enemy. And you will see instantly Trash talk/Missle Volley/Bullet Twister being used.
More rants, this one about Elma AI, since she's really the one who will be with your the most.
I'll get straight to the point: Melee vs Ranged
The answer surprising for AI is actually ranged. I will provide my reasoning along with my Elma arts list.
First Elma is all about DPS, which is obvious, but the key arts she should be using are between Hundred Shells/Executioner/Stream Edge.
The AI I noticed will never use Hundred Shells, unless she's positionally at the back, which we all know rarely happens, due to poor positional AI
However both Stream Edge and Executioner will only be used if it's prior move is a Dual Guns art. This is very good AI, because if you construct Elma's art's to focus on Dual Guns, she will more likely use these Arts for dps.
But to maximize DPS, simply increasing potential for AI elma is not enough. You want to limit Elma from using any art that is just a waste for damage.
I have noticed some key damage arts that Elma will always spam regardless of situation. These include: Shadow strike, Sliding Slinger, and Side Slash. She however will rarely use Electric Surge unless she's really low in health, and it's typically overrided with the above arts. The main point here is that Sliding slinger has really low cooldown so, she's more likely to follow with stream edge/executioner than if she had both sliding slinger and shadow strike.
As for Elma's aura, she will very rarely use Shadow Runner and will only use Thirsty Edge if 1/3~1/2 health. This leaves us with two options: Either Early Bird or Killing Edge. I found both to be quite good, because early bird increase the crit bonus from 25% to 125%.
The final art's list I have for her is:
Sliding Slinger, Stream Edge, Executioner, Primer, Early Bird, Violent Streak.
Notice how all of these arts are dual guns, outside of Stream Edge. And with sliding slinger's low cooldown she will combo into her TP arts and get their bonus every time without wasting time using weak melee arts.
>>140821725
For this build you will need Arts: Gain TP XX, atleast 3 of them for post game to maximize dps.
But for in-game go with Stream Edge, until you get executioner. Only have Early Bird/Killing Edge/any aura if you have Arts: gain TP.
For early game AI, don't give her any auras, as it will lower her DPS, by wasting TP.
>>140821725
I was sure the AI sucked at combos as much as at position conditionals, all this will prove very useful for a second playthrough.
