>>183393883
>strike physical
Bash damage is only on axes, claws and some Ronin skills so most groups don't hat it at hand.
Protectors can pick up axes in EO2U I believe. Or use Shield Bash but that might be wasted SP.

For non-physical damage you also can use poison or wait until you can craft consumable attack items.

>>183394525
Axes aren't slash? Weird but I'll take it.

What's the deal with Ronin? What are stances? The skill says that I can only do it in High Stance, but I don't even know how to go into whatever stance.

>>183395421
Ronin has four Stances:
Upper for more attack
Clear for more defense
Drawing for more speed/accuracy/evade
Peerless which combines all three.

In EO and EOU you take a Stance by using it (Just use the skill Upper Stance to take the Upper Stance).
In EO2U there are extra attack skills i.e. Upward Slash to get into Upper Stance. Sadly those skills are little more than glorified normal attacks with a different physical element (except Upward Slash which is still cut).
Peerless is different in that it needs the Ronin to be in another stance before being able to activate it. And it gets no attack skill to activate it in EO2U.
Thankfully Stances (except Peerless) also get a chance to activate automatically at the start of the fight when they are at 10.

Each Stance has a few skills associated which can not be used without that Stance or Peerless Stance.
This means Ronin has a delay in everything they do unless a stance activates automatically.
Also Stances fall off way to quickly and need to be reapplied.

All that is why Ronin was only really good in EOII where Stances god removed as a mechanic and became passives.
Ronin has some damage but they are so cumbersome to use I don't feel it's worth it.

Ronin has access to all six elements spread across their three Stances but trying to use all six costs way too much skill points and leaves you with half a dozen weak skills.
If you want to use a Ronin pick a Stance and focus on taht until late game when you can try branching out more.

Dungeon Crawler is a really, really wide genre.
Many of them are otherwise unremarkable RPGs light on story that just happen in dungeons.
Stuff like Diablo are Dungeon Crawlers but they are action combat loot pinatas.
Wizardy is turn based but it's mostly about hazards and dealing with the game throwing shit at you constantly.

It's really hard to compare them.
Basically the only requirement to be a Dungeon Crawler is "happens mostly in dungeons". And that "mostly" can get stretched pretty far...

EO is kind of it's own thing.
Sometimes it's close to the unremakable RPG kind but the FOE system and good map integration gives it some puzzle elements.
I like what EO offers best, I think. Especially when it comes to skill trees.
I really don't care for the Wizardy character progression where mages get books worth of situational skills they can use three times before being completely spent while other classes get like two passives and a skill, if they are lucky.

Are you sure? I've only ever seen dungeon crawler (or at least, DRPG) to refer to first-person titles. Which a number of have spawned after EO's success. Because if it's not first person I don't see why you wouldn't just call it a JRPG.

>>183413661
Darkest Dungeon is definitely being called a Dungeon Crawler. And I would also call it that.
It's probably not called a DRPG though.

I'm playing a better dungeon crawler.
In this one you don't have to worry about even xp .
You rng roll character stats and levels and skill points in this game. There is no leveling up through random encounters
You build your character really fast through a board game and HOPE that rng is on your side
It's called "monokuma's evil test"
The skill system is kind of similar to EO.
I think Chunsoft may have partnered with the EO team when making it.
The team building aspect is really on point.
You need to focus some characters on specific jobs like guarding physical attacks and having another one that focuses on guarding a specific elemental attack, this system makes it so you make tons of characters.
I could talk about it all day.

>>183396832

Not him but seems like they changed it greatly in Untold 2 compared to EO2.

Any other serious mechanics changes?

To people who played EO V so far - whats the best balanced party now? And whats the most minmaxed?

>>183420807
Well Loyalty Mastery in EOII made the Beast utter trash as it would randomly take hits for other party members - with the defensive stats of said party member.
So they would regularely take massive amounts of damage and die.
Now Loyalty Mastery just randomly halfes the damage you take while taking hits for party members is done with active skills (either one person or the entire group) making them great tanks.
Their attack skills took a nosedive though...

War Magus also no longer needs specific ailments for their skills instead any ailment will suffice.
They did however lose both Curse Cut and Transfer so no endless TP generation anymore.
Instead Ailing Slash is now one of the best damage skills in the game having a massive multiplier and dealing cut + almighty damage (so it deals more damage if the enemy is weak to cut but ignores if the enemy is resistant to cut - except for two enemies in the post-game).

Biggest change across the board is probably the rework of the Force system.
You now start with full Force whenever you enter the labyrinth and you can use it to activate a Force Boost - basically tree turns of a supercharged mode dependant on your class. Activating them does not take a turn.
What does take a turn is the Force Break which is basically the Force of EOII - but while Force Boost just empties your gauge a Force Break destroys it, meaning you can no longer gain Force until you return to town.
So while Force Boosts strengthen you and can maybe used multiple times in a single battle/exploration Force Breaks are finishers or panic buttons.

The rest is a lot of balancing. Gunners got a lot of new-ish attack skills, Revenge is less broken, Climax is less reliable - stuff like that.
Oh and Survivalists got some ailments with blind, paralysis and sleep so they now have a slightly different role than they used to have.

Also there are three new classes with Princess from EOIII, Highlander from EOU and the new Fafnir class.

Gladiator on everything, right?

kill great dragon and get the accessory that nulls fire. you're gonna need that no matter what. can't remember if I did the 1v1 or not. I know I did 2v1 with DH+Hexer, so DH solo would probably work. Get the hazardous tea (extends bind turns by 3), bind him, buff with prelude, snake eyes, draconic fury (if time / RNG permitting) and drop Trance Ecstasy on his ass. Something like that. Takes some luck to do it solo but with enough buffs DH can trash anything in the game.

I found Untold and IV in a store, and since it's no longer listed online around here, and given that 3DS is no longer produced (or soon won't) I'm thinking of which ones are worth having at home.

Running B/WM/Hi H/T in U2 classic. Do you think that party will lack something?

>>183493560
Bit weak on elemental damage there unless you want your Troub to use Preluded normal attacks.
Since Spear Assist is the best skill to spam while Highlander waits for Delayed Charge she will miss a bit of damage there.

>>183493985
Would prelude attacks trigger the element on spear assist?

>>183494323
Sure.
Prelude is a generic buff that increases all damage you do - normal attack or skill - of any element.
This btw. lets it get around the diminishing returns system that is in effect for attack and defense buff/debuffs in EO2U.
And it also changes the element of your normal attack - but not skills!

So if the Troubadour equipped with a bow Preludes herself her normal attacks will be stab+fire which is enough for Spear Assist and skills like Link Order and the Chasers.
But because it's a damage buff you should probably Prelude your War Magus and Highlander first. And then your other buffs will probably be about to fall off...
So it works but it's not a great solution.

>>183492685

>>183494696
Would it be better to switch the Troubadour with an Alchemist?

Honestly I don't have a strong preference for physical or digital.

>>183495381
On Expert I'd switch the Troubadour for a Alchemist or Gunner - Hexer has a defence debuff which is basically the same thing as an attack buff so you are not missing too much utility here.
On Standard it should probably work with a Troub since it's more lenient.

Dark Ether spam is not helpful in the post-game as TP pools are large enough to last a while by now and fighting with four people is sure to get you killed.

>>183514834
>Glad/Arb
>Speed books
He's gonna be way more powerful as a G/B with pincushion. Way more powerful than the B/G as well. G/x will always be more powerful than the reverse. Speed books just widens the gap between them.
>>183515382
>wiffs mroe than it hits unless you level it to max level
Accuracy goes down as it levels up. You actually hit more with it at level 7 than 10.
>>183515954
N/Z can run prophecies. Although it's a bit shaky because if both clones die you're almost sure to get wiped by the next elemental attack. H/x is more reliable not to die. But Dark Ether is still useful for Gladiator spam in general dungeoneering. Just somewhat less so for bosses.

>>183517743
>He's gonna be way more powerful as a G/B with pincushion. Way more powerful than the B/G as well. G/x will always be more powerful than the reverse.

With how the multiplier on Pincushion works G/B and B/G are about the same in strength.
Endless Battle makes up for the lower AGI of the G so their Pincushion multipliers turn out to be about the same. So G's higher STR give them the edge - but B has the better TP management and accuracy.
I think you could run either.

But with speed books in the mix G becomes better since more 1 AGI is a bigger relative change for them.

Then you have the slow application of status ailments vs these groups of bulky monstrosities that plays an animation even when you have animations off.
Then there's the amber surging mechanic that inflates their stats even further
Oh, don't forget the rare species with even further buffed statistics

The worst part? You can completely neutralize the danger in the situation with a Hexer, but the monsters STILL take forever to chew through. Encounters in Shiren, or even PMD are over within a couple of hits, for you, or against you.

>>183522960
Both are good starting points. I'd go with Classic mode if starting with Millennium girl and ignore the story mode if i were you.

The games are loosely connected but not really sequels in a story way so much as they're gameplay evolutions of each other. So you can play them in any order story wise, it's more the quality of life changes that you should be concerned with.

>>183522960
The games are independant from one another, only EO and EOII (as well as their remakes) even mention each other.

I'd say go for IV - it's the easiest in the series.
But it also has an overworld and many small dungeons instead of one big one which is pretty different from the rest of the series and crawlers in general.
So if you want a more pure crawler experience get EOU.

>>183523104
>I don't remember enemies having sweeping resistances to the player's damage types
Because they just super overpower there so you can't even really touch them

>>183523894
Which is infinitely more tolerable than the 1 damage slugfests of EMD. There is no danger, or threat, except to the player's patience.

>>183524245
arguable, stuff like monsters who move through walls and oneshot you can go suck on a dick

>>183520238
Yup, that'll work. 2 Glads + Hop + Prince will pretty much murder anything in the game reliably, although you might need to spec for Freezing Blow once or twice I think for Anemone + AG? Save those for last I guess. Although it's not nearly as fun, Zodiac / Bucc or Zodiac / Wildling will add damage more using debuffs than Z/G charged meteors. Pref Z/B for Limit Boost. Then use dark ether after the front charges.

I would give you one but it just ruins the fun of the game, since it kills everything in literally 2-3 turns.

>>183537949
Reclass Flavio into a Gunner
Have Arianna bring the def/atk orders and Links, give her a ELM atk up Grimoire and watch her go
Faf being Faf
You can have bert in the backrow for easier buffing, Front Guard works just as strong if he is not in the front row
Keep Chloe as support healing/ailment protection and give her a link order grimoire for free turns, elm atk up if needed/wanted

But if you mean classic mode:
Beast - hit taker and shit
War Magi - Ailing Slash - Vampire 1. Seriously you wont need to go past Vampire 1
Dark Hunter - Binds and Ailments and super big dick damage whenever.. RNG lets you. Viper lands a lot due to low poison resistance on most things, then work on binds for Ecstasy
-
Troubadour - healing Grimoires are common, and the war magi can back the bard up
Hexer - Tight ass build here. You will want Torpor for sweeping. Sleeping targets take 50% more damage when woken up with a physical attack. Then you want debuffs, and Terrify is a fantastic ailment, but fuck you also want binds to help out your Dark Hunter once in awhile. Thankfully there is a grimoire that binds yourself, then you can probably transfer those to an enemy

>>183537949
Tank (Protector or Beast), Dark Hunter, War Magus
Hexer, Alchemist or Troubadour

The start is a bit slow and one boss needs an adjustmanet in startegy but for the most part Ailing Slash and Ecstasy chew through boss HP like mad - as long as they stay proberlm ailed and bound and that's waht the Hexer is for.
A properly buffed Dark Hunter can one-shot even some post-game bosses on Expert with Ecstasy, it's pretty crazy.

>>183535391
Armor is pretty damn weak and VIT is important for taking physical hits.
So Medic or War Magus can stand in the frontlane while Souvereign should not even though they are wearing the heavier armor.
TEC damage only scales with TEC, so just pick the staff that gives the most of it to your Alchemist or Souvereing and ignore weapon ATK.
Infliction now only takes LUC so a Hexer wants tons of it and doesn't need anything else.

About to start 2U classic. Any tips for class/party composition?

>>183569818
Normal or Expert?
The former lets you be a bit more lax with class synergy.

>>183569997
Expert. I want to break my balls

>>183570068
a beast with hit-taker and lick+autolick level 20 can pretty much tank the entire maingame

>>183570068
Protector is the easier tank compared to beast.
War Magus can be used as a healer or a great damage character with Ailing Slash - they usually have enough skill points to do both.
Hexer synergizes with War Magus (since those want ailments on enemies) and are overall great lockdown characters.
Alchemist is great for elemental damage - both single target for bosses and area wide for random encounters.

And then you still have one slot to pick what you want - just don't take Ronin, they are sadly underpowered.
Dark Hunter is the meme pick with Hexer and War Magus since Ecstasy is stupid strong - but it also means you rely extremely on infliction rates.

>>183570068
Also worth mentioning: I have the DLC, so Highlander is an available option

>>183570068
Whip DH + a Hexer with a Stigmata grimoire breaks the entire game.

>>183570403
Sadly Highlander is shit. The whole game revolves around 1 or 3 turn burst damage (Force) and the Highlander's most powerful skill takes 4 turns to activate. But Stigmata is an uber skill so the DLC still has value.

>>183570403
Highlander was super strong in EOU but is more in line now in EO2U.
Their Stigmata put on a grimoire can seriouely break the game in half like >>183570832 said.

If you have the hot-spring DLC a Beast is way better than it is without - Bikini Armor only has one DEF but halfs all fire/ice/volt damage and can be worn by anyone.
Usually it's a questionable trade-off since characters can only wear one piece of body armor but Beasts wear no body armor but collars for their DEF instead.
So they can wear both their "main" armor type and bikini armor.

Is the War-Mage + Gunner healing enough, or did I gut myself with no Medic?

>>183584597
War Magus alone is enough heal, Gunner should not even need to help out - although the ailment cleansing can be useful since WM sucks at that.
They can however completely prevent ailments, binds and even debuffs with Barrier (but they need both Barrier and War Lore Grimoires to make it 100% reliable).

>>183584806
How important is armor?
I've been thinking about always outfitting my group with the second best stuff, an only upgrading when the current best becomes second

>>183584993
>How important is armor?
For any game that isn't EOV, not very.

>>183584993
Same drill as always. Highest HP frontrower will attract more aggro, so keep them up to date on armour, other characters can relax until the bosses. And unless you're taking a cheese build, the bosses will be tough. Check the enemy stats for status/bind weaknesses and abuse those to get cheap wins. Remember that anons patented super build probably doesn't come into its own until a higher level and you might have to build skills for the here and now then rest into crazy abusive shit later.

>>183585207
EO and EOII armor was also strong - only with EOIII did it get nerfed. And then it got nerfed again in the Untolds for whatever reason...

>>183584993
Armor is pretty fucking weak, more so than in EOIV.
Buying one body armor per stratum is probably enough for anyone besides Beasts (they want all the defence they can get no matter how small).
Shoes, gauntlets and helmets can get completely ignored unless they have nice stat boosts like VIT or TEC.
Go for resistances if available, they are worth a hell of a lot more than armor.

What's a good psp dungeon crawler like EO that isn't class ofheroes?

>>183589520
There are surprisingly few - at least I didn't manage to find many.
Unchained Blades is also first person with 3D rendered corridors but you can not even create your own characters. Also it's ok at best.

>>183567145
>>People say a Warrior's Might party is super op, but how exactly do I build one?
It's a G/S that sets up Berserker Vow and spams WM, with two S/Bs using normal attacks (Second Sword + Swashbuckling) to proc.

I'm not sure what you mean by "manage to pull it off" because it's just a one-turn setup.

>>183590947
Is there anything kind of similar to EO on PC?
First person dungeon-crawling, with a lot freedom to make your characters however you want.
Similar artstyle preferred, but not necessary.
I just want something to feed my hunger while waiting for EOV.

>>183593338
Nope, at least I found none.
Best I could find are things closer to Wizardry - you can create your characters and choose their portraits but the classes don't have skill trees and instead learn their (few) skill on certain levels.

You no longer encounter enemies in like 80% of it and there are two Pokemon-Centers just hanging out in there you can somehow fly to.

>>183621482
Considering it was the single most common complaint about the game fucking plebeians it will go the way of the dodo and they'll call it "streamlining".

Really, after seeing what they did to Granite Cave and New Mauville, I have no doubt that they will turn into a single corridor with five exits, some paths conveniently blocked by NPCs until youy're supposed to go there, and then a very simple second floor to take you to Spear Pillar. Maybe also some side room so you can catch different pokémon there.

>>183622184

>>183619767

>>183622798
I'm pretty sure they did that in BW or BW2 already, every road block in that game was an NPC telling you to do something else.

Heck, come think of it they did that in the very first gym city of the very first game, with that guy who would not let you leave Pewter City because YOU MUST MEET BROCK FIRST.

>>183623553
At least in my experience, Mount Coronet is the single most hated thing about the game. Of course nobody stops to think why traversing that place can be unfun (it's needing like six HMs for that place alone) and instead just say fuck that cave and fuck that complexity, have something else instead.
Hopefully in the event of a Sinnoh remake they might take a look at the reception of ORAS (memes aside) and decide to look at HGSS instead. But on the other hand, Matsuda is a black belt at ignoring criticism.

Yes. Muspel, Demented King, Amber Dragon (don't ask) and Utopian Lord are the Four Heavenly Kings or whatever of this game.
Now enjoy the epilogue where you finally learn the Guildmaster's name.

Oh, I still have lots to do still, since I accidentally skipped to him before even beating the three dragons. Yeah, I think the Demented King, Amber Dragon, and Storm Emperor are the three bosses I have yet to beat.

Can't wait to farm those dragon scales like the good ol' days of Etrian Odyssey 1

>>183629638
They were far easier in EO1.

>>183629782
Faster to get to, and scavenge was a thing. Was there any conclusive evidence that Holy Gift actually lowers the drop rate? I remember hearing something about that ages ago with a pretty big sample size, but I can't even wrap my head around that much of a fuckup.

Here's hoping EMD2 has formaldehyde, because this shit is whack.

Not only faster to get to and scavenge, but in the case of EMD they also have TWO rare drops, with 5% and 1% drop rate. The elemental conditional is also a pain in the ass as the attacks needed will deal them like one-digit damage (no composite to help you here) so it's akin to trying to kill a boss with curse damage.

>1% drop rate

Pfft, that's too generous. Sealed J-Sword tier drop rates when?

What's the best way to beat the dragons in EO3?
I finished the story without any real issues, but all 3 dragons kick my ass in 2-3 turns.
