I was reading about the Skull Helm needed for it, you can use it to help with stealing items with Yangus, which I've never done but might if I need a specific rare item.Original equipment Dragovian sword Ī legendary sword awarded for completing a Dragovian trial. I don't really like the RNG-ness of these fights, I feel like it should be about your skill in buffing and keeping up with the fight rather than having certain spells or party members active. Everything I read online says you need Magic Burst with Jessica, well I didn't have any skill points in bare fists, so what now? Luckily I had a stock of skill seeds I could use and a couple of runs through the final Dragovian boss got me a couple of super skill seeds so I got Magic Burst for Marcello. I'm upto Dhoulmagus, Marcello was really rough.Īt this point I don't feel these bosses are fun because it's more about RNG and having a certain line-up or attributes. These Memories Lane bosses are testing my love for the game, lol. I just wondered if I was going to miss out on anything if I dumped everything into the wrong skill set. That's my fault though, I always over-level and hoarde in RPGs. It's just as quick, if not quicker for me to just mash attack. Maybe because I like to be over-leveled? It just feels like each fight is over before any status effects get going - even buffs/debuffs are more a matter of style over substance. Yang's best skills are in Axes and Humanity, but alas he's just can't compete with what Morrie and Red offer.Ĭlick to expand.Executioner has definately made KMS farming seem a little faster, although I'm not entirely sure if it's psychosomatic since more often than not it just boils down to if the slime flees or not first thing - if it doesn't flee the Executioner skill certainly gives another chance along with Lightning Thrust on hero for a quick kill, but no matter how much agility I stack on my team the order can still vary wildly between encounters so every encounter is still dependent on it not fleeing first thing.Īll the charisma/charm type skills I've never found a use for on any character. Definitely get Executioner, even if you need to waste skill seeds because it makes hunting King Metal Slimes easier. I think I had like 50 unspent points at the end of the game because I just couldn't decide what to get lulz.Īs for Yangus, I noticed he actually levels faster than the Hero (I'm pretty sure he was 1-2 levels over him in my game) but he will stop getting a lot of points after a certain level, Jessica is the same. Charisma is largely useless except for Sarcastic Snigger (Which I never needed cause Morrie). Bows are good to get MP back during the game and they have a nice AOE attack for random encounters, but I doubt you'll notice a difference at this point (Actually, swords may be better for Metal slimes hunting). 90% of the time he should be without weapon healing or using the Timbrel of tension. I used Angelo for all game up to the ultimate boss, and quite honestly it doesn't matter.
