"Don't spam valour points on Arrow Rain."
"I see myself in that statement and I don't like it." LOL
I spam it for farming levels. I put all the weak teammates there and spam the arrow rain there.
Good video. Thank you can’t wait to start playing this game. Should be here any day.
Just got the game recently and loving it so far, thanks for the vid!
No problem!
Great video subbed
Very good advices, as always!
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. great content
Thank you!
You get the new leaders stamina, When replcing units leader. If you maneuver your units well, you potentially have infinite stamina. I do this mostly assist units. The deployment is usually made up of three damage. Two of them bieng magic or range assist and one of them as oposite. I then deploy a healer assist or two, for when stamina gets low.
Nice! I didn't realize the stamina would reset on changing leaders. I'll have to try that now!
Wait so like spending 1 valor to change leaders also refreshes stamina? That seems like an oversight and kinda OP. Nice!
@tanklike4413 I don't know if it's still valid. Haven't played after the latest patch. From what I have tested. Stamina is counted from each individual unit. So a fresh unit that is the leader, should have all of its stamina.
Thought i'd share my top 31 units in the game since you mentioned sticking to 5-6 squads (with their respective roles):
NUKERS:
1. hilda
2. yunifi
3. rosalinde
4. eltolinde
5. rosalinde
6. alain
7. fran
8. celeste
9. adel
10. clive
11. renault
12. jerome
13. amalia
DEBUFFERS:
14. raenys
15. aubin
16. ochlys
17. umerus
18. selvie
SUPPORTS:
19. lhinalagos
20. galadmir
21. ridiel
22. gilbert
23. govil
24. yahna
HEALERS:
25. scarlett
26. ramona
27. sanatio
28. monica
29. miriam
TANKS:
30. fodoquia
31. liza/berengaria (whoever you give the mirage shield to)
Nice! I'd say I agree with these. How do you buff the elf sisters? Looking for ideas for my eltolinde team.
@@89Games my current eltolinde team (of course you can swap other characters who can serve similar purpose):
BACKLINE:
1. eltolinde-board nuker, kingslance, sapphire pendant, ruby pendant, sniper amber lens, start of battle boon of the faeries.
2. amalia- backup nuker, penetrate, hawk eye, important she goes before eltolinde so she debuffs for eltolinde with penetrate (raven plume, notos sword, etc).
3. gilbert- leader, offensive order, gambler's coin use for amalia and eltolinde, guard order for frontline once they are out of PP. important he goes before eltolinde so raven plume.
FRONTLINE:
1. raenys- evade tank so royal scarf, needs max PP for more shining lights, needs to go ahead of eltolinde so she debuffs for her via photon arrow. she has high innate initiative so she may not need raven plume.
2. ramona- evade tank, purifier staff (to remove debuffs on squad), extra heal to heal squad/boost initiative, restore PP to raenys for more shining lights, quick dispel to remove buffs, royal scarf, needs max PP for more restores.
Feel free to ask questions. the front is easily interchangeable with other evade/guard tanks you may want to use. amalia can be easily swapped with another debuffer like selvie/aubin or another buffer like govil. ideally 1 of the tanks should be able to heal so you have a healer so another evade tank like sanatio/scarlett or a guard tank like monica/miriam/josef.
@TheRobversion1 Why do you have Rosilalinde twice under Nukers? (3 & 5)
@@jaimereupert4247 typo. you can ignore one of those entries. My bad.
I just like how the werebear stumbles after every time you hit him -_- s-tier ELITE for me! He makes me happy xD
Thanks 👍
No problem 👍
any tips on dealing with enemy valor skills? I find their often more troublesome to deal with. sudden arrow rains taking out my flyers is not a fun time.
One thing I do sometimes is use the gryphon Knight's valor skill to speed them up so they can get to archers before they can charge arrows rain. That's if you're going after them of course.
You can also watch for their assist range and try to stay out of it as that also seems to be the range of their valor skills too.
Virginia's valor skill can protect allies from map damage including from valor skills, or a giants canopy item can do the same.
They do still catch me off guard too sometimes. As for what I do most often, I charge them with a flying unit lead by ochlys and just take them out fast. Ochlys tends to hold up against archers better than other flies it seems.
Hope something here helps!
Agreed with 89s tips. I will add Dinah's jump valor skill to instantly move to watchtowers to take them out.
The key is really mobility on your units (yes armored, more fliers and cavs) so you can get to watchtowers fast enough to kill them before they charge valor.
Wait - the equipment swap directly before battle thing: was this patched? I wanna say I tried this once and it said equipment can't be changed before battle. It coulda been a slight different situation I was in tho, idr.
I know there been a patch or two since this video, right?
I don't think so. There was one time where I couldn't switch equipment either and it seemed kinda random because I was able to do it every other time. I think it has to do with trying to swap equipment between characters that are both in the same unit or maybe both deployed but I wasn't able to figure it out.
yes, it was patched. You can still swap equipment when out on the field, but you need to do so before the unit in question has come in contact with the enemy to initiate battle
Its a fun game (so far 30 hours in on Expert level) but still a tad easy. I'm hoping after I finish it the true zenorian difficulty will bring a much needed challenge to this.
Maybe when I play TZ mode, assist teams would be needed. But considering you are on the attack 99% of the time, I find they are too slow and only provide mediocre benefits even in early game.
Assists can be very situational in whether they help or not, but they can also really make the difference in some of the tougher fights especially in TZ. To help them keep up, you can keep a cav as the unit leader until you get to the map boss and then switch the assist character to leader. It costs a valor point, but can be helpful, if you've got the valor to spare.
lol first tip EXACTLY! ugh (you even use footage of that battle lol)
Oh yeah! That was something else I meant to mention in the last comment! Lol I love that move. Can't take all the credit though, someone pointed out to me during stream and I am forever grateful lol
Any tips on how to play on PC
Send strongly worded letters to Vanillaware? Idk. The company seems to have an aversion to putting their games on PC for some reason. From articles I've read, not publishing on PC is specifically mentioned in their agreement with publisher Atlus.
Game is pretty easy even on expert mode... that is until you find that one stage where game wants you to use a very specific strat that you can't find it yourself
Yeah, once you learn how to optimize a bit the game can get easy most of the time, but it likes to throw those moments at you with specific stats to make you think again lol
I really wish there was something harder than TZ. I don't like self imposed challenge runs, they feel hollow to me. There isn't even any super hard end game stuff!
Yeah, I'd like to see some more endgame for sure. TZ is only challenging it seems until you get one or two optimized teams built and then you mostly steam roll enemies.
Its only the coliseum thats a real challenge and thats when the enemies there have a 20-25 level advantage over you. Try climbing the coliseum early (level 25-30).
Personally, i find challenge runs fun. Like my current one is TZ no items, no equip swapping in battle, no, no grinding coliseum/sigils, no generic recruits, no summon warriors/archers cheese.
Agreed on the defense hop. I do that too. I do have a designated unit designed to do just that: the slowest squad.
Ditto on 1 shot kills. Thats how i build my squads. I dont like not being able to finish enemies in 1 fight.
On assist squads, i dont find heal assist squads valuable. For pusher squads, i find Gilbert and alain essential leaders. This means those 2 shouldnt be on the same team together.
Personally, i wouldnt recommend equipment swaps as they become a crutch and force the player not to learn how to build optimal squads. For example, once you encounter featherbows, you'd probably equipment swap at 1st to blindness immunity items. The real optimal play here to learn is to value antidebuff gear, elven archers or scarlett/bishops. basically, gear should be used to accentuate your strengths and enable combos while classes should be used for counters and to cover your weaknesses.
Well, I got the one shot kill idea from you so I hope you like that one! Lol
I find the item thing helpful for the "oh crap" moments. But yes it is better to learn how to build against those weaknesses which I try to do after I find them.
@@89Games agreed. i think initially equipment swaps are fine. then you see other content creators get annoyed by featherbows/wereowls then still shit on elven archers (who IMO is the most underrated class in the game). so they rely on equipment swapping the whole time, curse that they forgot to buy clearsight amulets or curse the featherbows/wereowls, while their elven archers sit on the bench (the permanent solution).
@@TheRobversion1 for sure. I think you're right on elven archers. They're really good for countering debuffs. I used at least one on the last playthrough so I haven't used them on my current playthrough, hence equipping blindness immunity stuff which is working so far.
@@89Games yeah pure field + quick cure cant be beat for that purpose. As for alternatives, anti-debuff/affliction gear is useful too as its less situational than anti-blind like the sacral gear, unicorn signet/shield, gran baris (angel shop), etc. The next alternatives are getting the purifier staff (sacred cure, coliseum and albion) as a row version of quick cure. Great to equip those on scarlett or sanatio. Then, the worst version is the refresh on bishops.
