    Put Strohl on Assassin with Slash Boost and AoE Slash attack from Sword Master. When he gets lvl 20 assassin skill he becomes super MP efficient. Also I suggest getting Brawler/Pugi on Hulk for the Debuff strike move. My Hulk had Magic Knight with shield arts and the defense debuff move from pugi. I kept my MC as a General/Mage for support and synthesis. My Heismay went all in for Gunner.

    I would say maxing the archetypes line they start with is important like Knight for Hulkenberg and Thief for Heismay. But I wouldn't say you need Knight to win any fight in the game. But there are follower rank reasons.

    Heismay easily becomes the strongest tank in the game once you get to his 3rd (elite) thief archetype. Slap on him the basic knight's proclamation (don't use the advanced one since it blocks, which prevents evasion) and his evasions will sap all of your enemies' turn crystals.
    Managed to perfect win a few bosses for the juicy reward bonus using evasion shenanigans. Since i use him exclusively as a tank and don't need his attack abilities (ohk moves kinda bad since there's nothing boosting the chances, steal's still good though) I slap on the lucky find passives on him instead *hint*.

      Heismay is by far the best character in the game at end game because of his ability which only he gets which removes all turns from the enemy when he dodges. Some bosses get 8-10 turns which without this ability your just hoping you survive.

    • @acwano
      @acwano  Місяць тому +1

      Hulkenberg Can also end the enemy turn by repelling the spell. And at the sams tims, shes 10 times tankier and can taunt bosses. Heismey as a dodge tank is broken, but at the end of the day, its up to preference I think.

    • @acwano
      @acwano  Місяць тому +1

      Im sure it works but lemme give you some info you might know yet.
      -The brawler skills scale like the physical skills in persona, which means they cost a % of your hp and take into consideration your remaining hp (for dmg) in percent too. So building full hp isnt bad but it isnt a super synergy either.
      -The brawler class cannot equip the heavy armors, which are extremely strong. They usually have defensive passives and are meant to be put on your tank.
      But hey, the most important thing is to have fun, stick to what you like!

      @acwano damn i miss on that one broo, you're right, i just think on simple way cuz lossing hp is way more cheaper that losing mp(hp potion on refantazio cheap AF),thats why i use monk especially whn u play with hard,but u make me realize the monk is using percentage, my bad I'll renew my statement,using monk for her still risky then,but I'll say it,it become worth it if u buy bunch of hp potion on discount day:p

    • @acwano
      @acwano  Місяць тому +1

      Yeah using hp skills is always a lot cheaper. What I do is I give healing skills to a party member im not using, then I use them to heal me after every battle so I dont waste the MP of my in-battle healer. So I can spam hp moves on strohl while not having to buy healing potions.

    • @acwano
      @acwano  Місяць тому +2

      I also made the same mistake and didnt grab the fire sword, which helps a lot against the zombies summoned by the necromancer. But dont worry you can still beat him. I recommend switching the MC from mage to healer for the light magic and healing spells that help a lot against Zorba ( you can also just inherit healer skills on your mage). The trick is to never let more than 1 zombie alive at the same time because after summoning 2 of them, he enrages them and they start doing double damage. The zombies are weak to light and fire magic iirc. If you are truly stuck, there is no shame in lowering the difficulty just for that fight if you dont wanna waste any days. If you dont mind, just leave the dungeon and do stuff like buying better gear etc.., it will also replenish all of your MP which could help. Good luck !!!

And the mask system makes it for a very versatile archetype. She needs faker lvl 10 to unlock it so it makes sense to put the faker skills on junah.
