hey what's up so like going into caves to fight monsters isn't really my thing but i like cool stuff so find me some in one and we can trade or whatever since i don't really know where to find a market for this stuff

i can probably pay in murai or those asago things since i haven't been in trouble lately but i have a bunch of old stuff lying around in my room that i don't use anymore too so whatever works for you

i read you can find some kinda rare item on giant goblins and jammers and they sound pretty cool but i haven't seen them yet so hit me up if you find one, i guess i'll try to be around in sigrogana more for the people that don't like replying or whatever?

This is a new topic for Lore Questions because the old one was about 26 pages. The format is roughly the same, but some guidelines;

1) Try and format your questions appropriately. As in, make it easy to read and answer.
2) Try and limit the number of questions you ask per thread. I don't mind answering them, but don't get crazy and ask me 20 things, especially if they require detailed answers.
3) Try to avoid asking extremely specific questions, such as 'Did anyone ever die of food poisoning in Cellsvich?'. Answering these is difficult, because not everything is set in stone, so giving a definitive answer on it not only restricts me in the future, but it might influence other players' character concepts that involve it.

That said, if you have any questions, you can post them in this thread! I will post answers at the end of the month/start of the next one.

Thanks! (And yes, if you had questions from the previous topic that I didn't answer before I closed it, you can post them here, but remember the formatting guideline.)

When dual wielding the same weapon type (two Spirit Hunters in my case), you can only get the bonus momentum from Criticals once per round, regardless of which one you attack with.

I remember this being a thing before, but I'm pretty sure it got fixed.

It's been suggested before, but can we get a way to check our total resistance to various elements?

1. If you Fast Offense and summon a Youkai on turn 0, when the enemy is 'sneaking', the Youkai will end their turn without acting if they are not within range of their primary skill. This is likely because they're coded as the rest of the AI is.

2. Damage taken from shared pain is calculated without taking into account def/res reductions. It seems to cut the damage in half for the primary target, then subtract res/def from the remaining damage. The target taking damage from only shared pain will take half the damage without subtracting def/res of any sort. This results in the skill almost never making the Youkai and Bonder 'share the pain' equally.

Proof:

Would it be feasible to have illusionary butterflies created by Papilions not count towards the Tactics Rank 'On-Death reset'.

This would be a direct buff to my play-style as a whole, or anyone who uses tactician and papilion butterflies,

To clarify, you can use formations on them and orders. But they do not apply for purposes of using the actual orders; charge order does give them additional movement and their attack appears to be increased through attack order but your tactics rank will not increase. Formations will give you a tactics rank if all slots are occupied by butterflies at the beginning, but you will not get additional buffs for having other allies occupy spots.
While they have one-hp and will instantly reset your Tactician Rank to D on death.

I do not think this would be a major buff overall, but feel free to throw counterpoints.

Thank you and goodnight.

It's our third installment of "Why Things Suck!" Today's guest, Tactician.

So, alright. Tactician, overall, is a pretty neat class with some good ideas and useful skills. They can't really beat up on the enemy themselves, but they super-enable their allies. And that enablement only gets better when their allies listen.

However, that fabled Tactics Rank is shot to pieces whenever you take damage. Especially from multihits. This means that you don't really want to be in range of your enemies. However, for some of their skills, you need to be close to your allies! Who are, presumably, fighting your enemies!

I really hope why everyone can see this is a stupid thing, and needs to change.

I suggest that Formations / Analyze Weakness / Enemy Evaluation be able to be used within range of allies as well.

Also that Attack Formation has its targeting inverted, so that the middle square can actually be placed on the Tactician.

Also that Field Medic be changed to boost the power of Items used. Seriously. This skill is useless as hell.

Title explains it pretty well-enough. Possibly different sort options for different lists... I just find it would be really helpful to have something like this. :?:

AD has gotten more than a few changes since its original conception, slowly bringing it down from being completely gamebreaking to being almost useless.


I see two ways of bringing it back into viability:

• Increase the LV scaling, probably 7-8 per rank (for a total of 35-40%).

• Let it affect magic damage again, instead of just physical.

I found it weird while testing out something, we were testing out Steel Aura and on hit effects and we were testing if Excel would be blocked by it because the tooltip does state it as "on-hit" effect, consuming the charges there.



However when we tested it in game.

Explaination:
First Makido hit Spo without the charges, and he did about 50 damage
Secondly Makido hit Spo with 3 charges of excel, doing about 150

Thirdly Spo turned on Steel Aura then Makido hit her with 3 charges, still doing 150 damage to her, meaning that Steel Aura did not block the "On hit" effect that is in the Excel description.




Thought I'd note this out, could it be an oversight? Or was it intentional?
