I recently started playing EOIV, my first Etrian, since it got a nice price reduction.

Struggling a bit in the 2nd Strata. It seems there are some random encounters which either end in one turn, or go horribly south for me, with enemies sleeping/paralysing my entire party then doing absurd physical damage. It feels basically entirely luck based.

Does anybody have any general tips? Party comp is NS, F, L in front, RM, M in the back.

>>145260872
Don't go at night.

>>145266596

I don't think that EO5 has shit portraits.
Just that every other game in the series has a better set.

>>145284370
Except for EO4. I had a lot of trouble to get a team because all the portraits were boring or outright bad looking. I even had to pick males because of that (no, scruffy wasn't one of them).

>>145284631
EO4 was still leagues better.

>>145284370
3>5>1&2>4

3 has the most consistently good portraits, 5 has the most portraits that I consider outstandingly good, but with a mix of mediocre ones. 1&2 have more plain portraits, but still kinda charming. 4's portraits are mostly just mediocre.

>>145284874
The only good portraits from 4 are Bandanna, Scruffy, Brown Fortress, The Black and Blonde Imperials, and a couple of the Arcanists. The rest are okay at best and boring at worst. The only portrait worse than Shota Monk is the Brown Landsknecht.

>>145286002
It's a boring portrait, but it's not a bad portrait. The other LS portraits show more character.
Whereas purple hair custus in my opinion is an ugly portrait and so is dreads cestus

>>145286170
He's honestly the only "token self-insert" I'd call boring. The Gladiators and original Landsknechts were cool.

>>145286258
Male Purple Hair or Female Purple Hair? You'd be right about Female, but I'll fight you over Male.

>>145286669
Both male cestuses are good portraits.
Both female necromancers are good portraits
Both male necromancers are bad portraits with little to distinguish between them.
Both female Hounds are good portraits
Both male Hounds are alright portraits, but are identical.
And so on...

>>145286835
>Both male necromancers are bad portraits with little to distinguish between them.
*tip*

>>145287029
The only difference is their skin colour (which can be edited, so it's pretty much a moot point), eye shape and hair style, and their hairstyles are more or less identical.
Female necromancers are hugely different, perhaps the most different two same sex class portraits ever have been in the series.

It's the one theme you will be hearing the most out of any of them, and outside of EO1 they'll never change so I'd be pretty sick of them by the end.

>>145313050
actually I learned to like that I posted just recently. I never spent that much time in the deep city to hear the whole thing so while I was listening to the OST, the last bits caught me by surprise.

You got a point but Armoroad's songs really get me tingly, even though I didn't like EO4's at all (EO1 I only like the night/bar/shop theme)

Do you guys pick 5 characters and stick with them the entire time, or do you have multiple squads?

>>145315173
Five and stay,

>>145315173
Main squad, gathering team, a couple of extras for niche situations like conditional hunting.

>>145315173
It wasn't until III and IV that I started seriously experimenting with party setups and benching powerful teammates for other classes that interested me.
Other than those two games, I stick with my main party and a few situational members.

>>145315173
5 characters for the main game
Swap out some for postgame maybe
And a gathering team if the game needs it.

>>145315173
I made five characters, then was dissatisfied with two of them and switched them out. Then I still made at least six more characters for the hell of it, even though I don't use them. And that's before I even unlocked subclassing. It's fun I guess.

>>145317607
>gathering team
Is this really viable?

>>145318607
Their are a number of classes with skills that do shit like reduce encounter rates, avoid back attacks and retreat completely from battle. Max out those and the gathering skills and you're set for life. It's not something you'd do at the beginning of the game though, the crap you gather that early isn't profitable enough to merit the trouble of building up skill points that early.

>>145319075
But if it only costs one skill point for gathering/mixing or tame ground, why not just let my main party do it all?

>>145319618
>But if it only costs one skill point for gathering
Because that's not how EO1-3 work.

>>145319998
Ooooh. I'm playing IV. I should have specified. I guess I'm lucky. and I guess I see yet again why IV is easy

>>145315173
5 main and 5 farmers. They only end up getting swapped out if I really want to use something that gets unlocked later.

>>145320525
I'm hoping EOV goes back to the 1-3 farming method. Those generic portraits look perfect for the job.

>>145321571
If they do, i really hope they have a Combat Study type of skill.

>>145321571
>I'm hoping EOV goes back to the 1-3 farming method.
it's confirmed they didn't and thank god for that

>>145322976
>it's confirmed they didn't
Where? Also, fuck you.

>>145323096
race skills are one point each
>it's older so it's better!

>>145325128
I enjoy the idea of a specialized team sneaking though the dungeon, filling their pack to the brim with gathered items, and managing the guild's resources and money. It gave me a better feeling of a "guild" rather than just having one team of 5 to handle everything. How about you give an actual reason for preferring the IV style.

>>145325750
it was his first

>>145325750
There's nothing stopping you from stacking a bunch of the same gather type to max out your yields for that type. You might need 15 different characters if you want to do that for all 3 resources. I have yet to bother with such madness, though.

>>145326874
>all 3 resources
Isn't it 4 resources in EOV now?

>>145327301
I haven't kept up with the gathering info for V aside from it being Race skills. Gathering fish was present in prior games, though in III it was for money and IV it was another type of food item. I wouldn't be surprised if cooking came back in some form, I actually liked EOU2's restaurant management simulation.

>>145327710
III didn't link fishing to any skill, though, and the IV fish weren't treated the same as gathered items. V is making it look like an addition to the usual Take Mine Chop trio.

I liked the U2 restaurant too, though the city development was a stretch. IV cooking was alright too.

>>145327710
I don't. Upgrading high lagaard is a chore

>>145328643
I getting to see the city, but leaving the upgrades in the hands of a bunch of no-named adventurers was stupid.

>>145326770

>>145315173
You're haven't truly achieved "git gud" status unless you've juggled 15 characters in one playthrough and use them all evenly.

>>145332524
That's not gitting gud, that's just autism. Plus I know we have people here who swear by making two characters from every class.

>>145332667
>not utilizing every class
Using two of every class is autism though.
Except in EOV because of masteries.

>>145325750
Why would you need special skills just to pluck some flowers?

>>145332826
Why level an additional 10 characters (possibly 12) when resting only costs 2 levels?

>>145333529
>rest
What if you needed both builds in a party like with 2 Hounds or something.

>>145333712
Why would you need 2 Hounds? You're already able to summon the Falcon and the Hound at the same time. If you need an extra healer, just bring an Herbalist. If you need an extra attacker, just bring a Masurao or Warlock. If you need binds, just bring a Cestus. There's enough overlap between each class's roles that doubling up on each class is just a waste of time. In the time it took to level up your duplicates, you could have just raised your main 10 members up a couple levels.

>>145334563
We haven't even seen all the skills yet, we don't know either way if there are any interesting combos involving multiple of the same class.

>>145334686
I get it if you want to have a couple duplicates, but you don't need to have every single class setup available on your first playthrough. That seems so tedious. It makes more sense to focus on 1-3 setups and save anything else that interests you for your second playthrough.

>>145335114
>That seems so tedious.
No shit, anon. That's why we called it autism in the first place.

I wish there was an option to do sea quests without the guest members.

You also get to save your builds to instantly get them back after resting without spending points manually. They really want you to take both paths with the same character.

How do you guys put up playing this game? I tried playing the 4th game, which people say beginner friendly. I enjoyed it in the first place. But now i'm at the 3rd labyrinth and i don't feel like to play it anymore. I even used save editor (only for exp editing) so i don't get bored grinding when i want to try different teams. But in the end it's still hard to continue the game.

>>145388357
That's because EO4 is a shit game.

>>145388357
i like making maps

>>145386263
If you have a princess main or sub on someone then you can make do with prevent order and thericas, although it doesn't stop binds. If you have a M/N with bunshin then having another monk character is probably overkill when you already get a clone, you can get refresh/unbind later if you're dumping points elsewhere I'd honestly take izuna over breakfire if you really want them to both attack and support

>>145388357
Exploration is fun, mapping is fun, skill customization is fun, the music is great, and the portraits are cute.

In EO4, what's the minimum level recommended for retiring?
Also, what's the best way to retire your party? Retire all of them at once or one by one?

>Theriaca A heals Binds

>>145392992
Retire whenever you're given training scrolls so you don't have to grind for so long after retiring. You don't get retire bonuses until Level 30.

>>145393352
To be fair, they were originally alpha and beta, not A and B.

>>145392992
The minimum level you CAN retire at is 30, and if your level is under 60 you'll drop by up to half your level, otherwise you go down to 30. The best retire bonuses are at 99, and you only get an extra skill point for each 10 level increment up to level 70(with levels 71-98 giving the same amount of skill points). You get scrolls to level up to two people back up to a specific level, so use those when you're at the closest level increment to those rounded up(i.e. 30 for the level 25 scrolls, 40 for the level 35 ones, and 50 for the level 45 ones). Alternatively, save the level 45 scrolls for late/postgame retirements at level 70 or 99 to reduce the amount of catch up grinding you need by 15 levels.

>>145393352
>retire before level 99

>>145393352
>>145394197
Yeah, I know the minimum level required for retiring is 30. But what's the recommended minimum level for retiring? Like in pokemon, don't evolve till level xx to get xxx move. Or is there not exist that kind of system in EO4?

>>145395070
See >>145394771

>>145395070
This right here >>145394771

There is no reason to retire at an earlier level, as the grinding isn't worth the extra points.

>>145394771
Why not?

>>145395248

Additionally, you don't even need to retire in EO4 due to how easy the game is.

>>145395248
It's definitely worth it in EO4, since retiring early and using a scroll to get back to the level you were at means extra points with no grinding whatsoever, whereas you would have to grind if you retired late for bonuses. In the other games, there's really no point in ever retiring because it's such a pain to level back to where you were and you don't need the extra stats and points anyway.

>>145395396
you just can't stop memeing

>>145395916
You just can't accept the truth.
>everyone who don't share my opinion is trolling!

>>145396068
you bring it up any every possible chance context be damned. meme.

>>145395396
Well if you want to play on easy mode, that's on you. Though to be fair, retiring is never necessary in ANY game, unless you're trying to pull quick kill strats on postgame bosses, in which case the more stats/skill points the better.

>>145396204
>(you)
No sorry anon, I'm not the same anon.
Sorry for you that more than one person share the same opinion.

>>145395253
Why yes?

>>145395658
You get two scrolls but have five party members

>>145398775
You get a total of six scrolls. That even leaves one for you to swap a party member out for an arcanist or imperial and still retire everyone.

>>145398631
Because EO4's scrolls mean you can get retire bonuses over the course of the game and only be set back 5 levels, so you might as well do it just for the sake of having more skill points to play with.

>>145398775
Can't you just grind the level back with overworld FOEs?

>>145399372
The point is that "you don't need to grind because scrolls" is pointless when you DO need to grind anyways.
But well, you can just not retire everyone at the same time >>145398932 and get uneven exp and SP

>>145399710
The point is that grinding 5 levels is better than grinding 15. And even then, you don't need to grind. Since lower leveled units level up faster, you'll eventually only be a couple levels behind.

Untold 3 when?

>>145404257

>>145404817

Hey guys, I've never been to this general but I've played EO 2 and 3, which one should I play? 4, untold or untold 2? I'm pretty bad and stuff so maybe the easiest title of the three would be cool. Pls help

>>145406718
4 is usually the best entry point as it's easier than others

>>145406718
4 then.

>>145406718
Play the 3DS games in release order then, which means starting with IV. All of them have adjustible difficulties, but IV is the most consistently easy and the later ones get insulting easy on easier difficulties while reverting to DS level difficulty on the higher ones.

>>145407029
>reverting to DS level difficulty
They're quite a bit harder than the DS games.

>>145406801
>>145406864
>>145407029

Alright

you guys have any tips on parties or starting classes? They always have new classes and I'm usually clueless about what's retarded and find out way late into the game

>>145407343
Everything that is not outright retarded works in IV

>>145407343
In EOIV you can pick whatever.

>>145407401
right, well, as stated. I often fall into that category. Just a heading, not a full build guide pls

>>145407189
The enemies are certainly tougher, but you also get more resources to work with, like grimoires and special facilities that give you a special bonus to aid in combat or exploration. You're also able to retire past level 70 and reach level 99 in a reasonable time if you find doing either necessary for postgame, EOI had a flat level cap and EOII raises max level BY ONE thorugh retiring, III and onwards let you beat up dragons to raise the cap, these are postgame enemies though so you won't be able to break 70 until you beat stratum 5.

>>145407648
eh. from the top of my head

don't go full retard like 5 medics built to be only healers

and don't be afraid to spend skill points and experiment since resting (resets skill points) just drops 2 levels

>>145407648
Find a class or skill you like and build around it.
So if you like sniper try building a team around getting the most out of squall volley. You'd want a dancer to boost snipers attack, maybe an arcanist to bind all enemies legs to ensure hits, then maybe a fortress to cover the back line and the last slot is pretty much fine for anything.
That's the kind of thing I normally do. Try to keep your team at a point of 2 support/3 damage dealers. (which does mean that team I just listed wouldn't be brilliant as it has 3 support. I'd consider dropping the fort.)

>>145407648
Make one of everything so you can get a good look at their skills. There's a few classes that show up later so make one of those then to see if their skills will prove useful for your team. Any team that makes use of elemental attacks will want a Runemaster, they have skills that improve the effectiveness of elements for the entire party. If you don't want to use a Fortress for tanking you'll want classes with good ways of incapacitating enemies so they don't get a chance to attack with dangerous things.

>>145407924
>>145408062
>>145408701

alright. thanks guys

>>145407885
The postgame bosses in EO1 and EO2 don't expect you to be above level 70 (obviously because you can't be in EO1). EO3 and onward expect you to be significantly past level 70 by the end of the postgame. Being able to reach a higher level in the newer games doesn't change the difficulty on its own, because they're different games and the enemies are going to be balanced around the new, higher levels. I wouldn't say being able to grind levels to get through things when the older games didn't let you do that makes the games easier either. It lets people spend huge amounts of time to progress if they want to instead of playing the game better, but it doesn't change how hard it is to figure out how to play the game well without grinding.

After having finished one EO game, I just realized that I'm missing a very important piece of information.

What governs elemental Def?
Are all elemental attacks considered magical or are there physical elemental attacks?
Does the Def you get from armor reduce only physical damage or both?
What about Vit?

Also, does Bertrand's ultimate shield skill reduce elemental damage, or just physical?

>>145453851
Pretty sure TEC governs ELM DEF; and will probably change to WIS in EO5.
Attacks can be pure magical (Arcanist) or Elemental + Physical (Fafnir).
Pretty sure Armor DEF reduces all damage types, but I have no numbers to back that up, you could test by taking a low level character with high-tier armor fight an early enemy with an elemental attack.
Vit plays a role in the maths determining damage taken. The numbers for ATK and DEF on the status screen don't actually stand for anything - they're not used in calculations at all - they're more to give you a general feel of how 'good' your characters are.

Don't know about Ultimate Shield - I never used it. I'd assume it reduces all damage.

>>145448632
