    Lavitz Slambert is power personified. He is the green dragoon of the new PS4/PS5 remaster of Legend of Dragoon and holds the Jade dragon's spirit, allowing him to perform powerful fire magic. He clearly is strong, but in terms of the other characters, how does he stack up?
    In this video, I'll be taking a look at his strengths and weaknesses and comparing him to Dart, Shana, Rose, Kongol, Meru, and Haschel.

    if you're new to this game and wondering why lavitz sometimes goes by Albert in this video, same name as the king, then you have to get past a certain storyline arc where he changes his name and personality after a very particular death. (No spoilers on what happens to the king plz)

    Rose storm is actually so good that it can literally hard carry you through the game on bosses if you are under leveled and not prepared... on top of that, combining this with Merus ability to heal with rainbow breath, and you are practically immortal outside of a few bosses.

    Having completed this game about 7 times, i can tell you two things. 1. After the 3rd or so playthrough i stopped using dragoons entirely, they are a waste of time, additions are king. 2. Lavitz is absolutely cracked. You can get and master his final addition stupidly early, then farm 00parts outside of lohan for a quick 10k gold, buy the armor from lohan that will gives him 200+ magic def, then stick the bandit shoes on him to bring his speed to 60, making him faster than Dart. He will basically carry you through the entire game at this point.
    He's so good he makes the choice of your second ally redundant. I usually go for Rose, sometimes Kongol for a laugh, or Haschel if i'm speed running. Some people swear by Meru for her crazy heals, but meh, i never needed 'em and don't really use dragoons anyway and her additions suck.
    Flower storm is the auto-win condition.

      Meru likes Dart, but is friendzoned due to age.
      Lavitz likes both Dart and his King, but both are unfortunately for him straight.
      And those are just the ones centered around Dart.
      Meanwhile Kongal over in the corner just wants to smash rocks... and skulls. He isn't picky

    The main difference between Lavitz and Albert is that it’s easier to learn additions with Lavitz
    In the early game they are one of the best characters to use but there usefulness starts to decline as other characters improve
    His attack is high with a high hp but has low speed and magic, the only useful spell he has is rose storm which is actually useful throughout the game
    Another advantage he can learn his addition early but they don’t have a high damage modifier
    Overall Lavitz/ Albert is great in the early game but when characters such as meru and Haschel start to develop his easily dropped behind

Bandit shoes obtain only in disc 4 in chest of desert. In disc 1 quest to get silver white dragoon spirit, Drake boss drop bandit ring. For a speed boosting item, its way too early to make appearance and it makes all male characters op than female characters starting disc 1.

    As an RPG player it has bothered me for 20 years that the Wind Elemental spear users was slow and powerful and the Ice Elemental HAMMER wielder was faster. I get that Meru was a Wingly but maybe they should have swapped elements. Wind=fast/sprightly, Ice+sturdy/defensive. Rose Storm's effect could have been renamed to Frost Armor or something, and the AoE healing spell that Meru has could have been changed to like Healing Breeze or Whispering Wind or something. Never made sense the heavy knight was wind element when wind is almost always associated with agility in other rpgs.

      Grinding though I think best way to grind without leveling to much is the armadillo monster in the dragon nest forest. That is if you are patient and don't mind a five minute battle. But those things gives physical barrier which cut the damage to zero so when that is up dog pile the enemy with your additions. Also it works great with dragoon leveling as well.

    • @kryoter
      @kryoter Рік тому +1

      Do you interchange their addition when you get a better one? Because this can hurt your grind BY A LOT. try to use every 80 times before change for the new one. Assuming you're using him at all battles and don't run for random encounters, you'll have his final one before your second visit to Hellena.

      It's easily done with Lavitz/Albert too. He is no stranger when it comes to damage. In fact he deals the most damage for a long time. So rose storm makes it impossible to lose, and at the same time he will dish out damage like no other untill Meru & Haschel can catch up which is late game.

    If it ever comes to LGBT representation, Lavitz is our best bet. His mother was so eager for him to have a girlfriend when she met Shana but he got awkward and a lil shy about it. Almost like he didn't want anyone to know..
    He never seemed interested in pursuing romantic relationships with women. Thus i'd like to think he's more into men (or was just aromantic) even though representation like that was not a thing in 2000.

    My character party consisted of Shana/Miranda, dart, and Kongol. Shana/Miranda is essentially broken, especially when you get her to dragoon level 5. Dart is well balanced, and kongol in dragoon form is devastating when doing is dragoon physical attack. I actually been Melbu (last boss in LOD) with just Miranda and spamming her dragon attack and having my other characters revitalize her with Sun Rapsody over and over again. Lol 😂

    Is Lavitz broken? Yes. Yes he is. In fact I he was done this way because we want to use him a lot and prefer him. I would say that early game, speed isn't bad tbh and magic defense is fine because most of the enemies uses physical. And when that scene hit, it hits hard and we feel it as a player.
    Later with Albert, Albert isn't as broken because after that bit with Lavitz, enemies uses more magic. But Albert is good but not as good as Lavitz.

    I will take the Lv13 milestone for the two characters to compare because this is the Level that Lavitz will get and will master the Lv5 Flower Storm addition, as well as Shana also just got Dragon Spirit to train to Lv5 Dragoon.
    The stats of the two characters are at the time when the party is about to go to Hellena for the second time. The stats will be calculated from the character himself plus the strongest equipment they have at that time.
    Shana: Dragoon Lv5
    HP 396
    ATK 30 Dragoon 220%
    Def 30 Dragoon 250%
    M.Atk 64 Dragoon 170%
    M.Def 67 Dragoon 250%
    Speed ​​65 (Can be equipped with a Physical Ring or a Therapy Ring to optimize Shana's existing FAST SPEED)
    Shana can easily reach Lv5 Dragoon from the moment she has Dragon Spirit. At the time when Dart and Shana went out together in the Arena, Lavitz and Rose were not in the group at this time, so we can take Dart and Shana to the Nest of Dragon forest to train Shana to Lv5 very easily. By having Shana shoot normally at monsters A LOT, you can shoot from 7 > 10 times in a match. About 3~4 matches will go to Lv2 and then 6~7 more matches will go to Lv3 and about 30 more matches will be Lv5.😁
    Lavitz: Dragoon Lv4 (I didn't train to Lv5 because Lavitz's Final Magic is not stronger than the 3rd Magic Gaspless so Lv4 is optimal)
    HP 545
    ATK 64 Dragoon 165%
    Def 61 Dragoon 230%
    M.Atk 41 Dragoon 215%
    M.Def 42 Dragoon 230%
    Speed ​​40 (can go to 60 with Bandit's Ring, got this ring from Boss Drake the Bandit before)
    First, I will talk about comparison conditions. We can see that Shana and Lavitz are two characters that follow two completely different schools of strength, so in the comparison process, errors and omissions are inevitable. So my assessment is only for objective and reference factors, 😁, hope you guys understand and ignore it.
    Next is about the monster I used to test the two characters. Because the two characters have two different strength directions, I also chose two monsters with different defenses to compare fairly.
    The first monster is Mandrake (Water) appearing in the map Nest of Dragon. This monster has very weak physical defense, so I will use it to test Lavitz mainly.
    Def 60 and M.Def 120.
    The second monster is Crocodile (Water) appearing in the Marshlands map. This monster is the opposite of the one above. It has strong physical defense but weak magic resistance, so we used it to test Shana.
    Def 160 and M.Def 50
    I chose these 2 monsters because they are Water type. This Water system will not make the magic attacks of both characters weaker or stronger during the test for a more accurate comparison.
    The first is with Lavitz:
    + Attack Flower Storm on Mandrake: 389 Dmg.
    + Gaspless attack (With Special) on Mandrake: 297 Dmg.
    + Attack Flower Storm on Crocodile: 146 Dmg.
    + Gaspless attack (With Special) on Crocodile: 711 Dmg.
    Next is Shana:
    + Attack White-Silver Dragon (With Special) on Mandrake: 363 Dmg.
    + Attack White-Silver Dragon (With Special) on Crocodile: 873 Dmg.
    I didn't count Shana's physical damage because it's too weak. Only take 150Sp for 1 normal shot to transform.
    Through the comparison, we see that Shana's damage is always 20% higher than Lavitz's, but everyone can easily understand that Shana spends up to 80Mp to perform White-Silver Dragon magic, so we must use this magic very limited. And 100% of people will agree with me that we only use this magic with Boss battles ==> So most of the time playing the game is about going through the Map or training the Level outside the monster field. Shana is really LOSE FROM Lavitz.
    But that's not why you can't look down on Shana. We know that the White-Silver Dragon magic also has another effect of RECOVER 100% HP for all three characters after dealing damage to the target, so Shana is like a guardian angel of the party when always in charge. Safety is very essential.
    In addition, with two other magic, Moon Light and Gate of Heaven, it also makes more sure for Shana's support position in the squad as Shana can always revive one or two members back to life after they have just d.i.e.d before.
    And that's all the advantages of the Dragoon transformation that Shana has in Disk 1. It's simply "EXTREMELY STURDY AND SAFE" when Shana is in the squad and especially in Boss battles. SHANA It's true that the character was born just to fight the Boss!🤣. And think about it... Right from Disk 1, we got a character with such a powerful magic assassin and such comprehensive support until the end of the game that you can see it when you trust her. How useful she is during the process of playing and exploring the game, right?
    And because I'm only comparing at Disk 1 here, I still don't have 2 items to help Shana become a full-fledged magic attack character. So the STRONGEST position in Disk 1 is definitely for the muscular guy Lavitz.
    I will say bye to Shana now and talk about Lavitz, Lavitz is really poor men ❤️ because he will soon d.i.e when he completes the mission to rescue King Albert in Helena map. But in return, the game maker gave Lavitz a lot of favors (a lot is more than ) when he got Final Addition VERY EARLY and more specifically, this Flower Storm move is one of the ultimate moves not only extremely strong in physical damage but also useful for Lavitz when it gives him 200Sp so he can freely transform into Dragoon as well as train to Lv5 Dragoon extremely easily.
    The only weakness is that it takes quite a while for Lavitz to "DANCE" all the previous 4 additions,🤣, as well as having to practice to master this Flower Storm Addition. And say first, if you are a beginner, it will be very difficult to master the Flower Storm move right from Disk 1, because in addition to being difficult to press correctly, this move also appears Counter a lot with There are many different unexpected cases, so in terms of gaming experience more or less, whether it's a trainee or a professional, I won't say much in this comparison.
    The next priority is about equipment for Lavitz. Very soon we got a Physical Ring that increased up to 50% HP for this guy. Originally Lavitz's HP was the highest at that time, so having an extra 50% will make him extremely tough in every match and no matter how strong the boss magic damage is, it will be difficult to knock out a Lavitz who is fighting can equip Physical Ring.😁. Therefore, Lavitz's prestige increased even more in Boss battles.
    And yet, after defeat the Boss "Drake the Bandit", we can get Bandit's Ring. And guess what, with this ring, we have a tough Lavitz guy who suddenly turns into a Lavitz guy with extremely agile and mobile body. Combined with the Terrifyingly high physical damage from Flower Storm, you understand that the game maker at this time favored players with very useful subjugation equipment to help Lavitz become extremely strong, right? . So that before he d.i.e.d, this Lavitz character also satisfied the players' expectations when he unlocked all the best things about one of the best and strongest characters of the game.❤️
    After that, the character Albert continued the entire legacy of Lavitz left and later Albert still had more powerful weapons as well as the Flower Storm move that was easier to perform (in my opinion, Albert was easy to click is better than Lavitz). Help the character Lavitz/Albert become the strongest from A>Z throughout the game, not just at Disk 1, right, everyone.
    RESPECT ❤️❤️❤️
    Well, I haven't mentioned the benefits of Lavitz in Dragoon form yet. In addition to the huge physical damage, the magic damage is also very respectable with the Gaspless magic dealing 75% and if there is a Wind element environment to support it, it's even better. And most especially in Lavitz's second Magic, Rose Storm, when this magic helps himself and two people around him increase by 50% armor for 3 turns. And I don't need to explain much about this Magic, if you play through it, you will understand that during 3 turns with Rose Storm protecting, the boss battle is really safe, right, you can do everything freely. in the meantime or better yet, have Shana around and heal the party as well, then Mr. Dart uses Final Burst... Out of sauce.🤣
    Final rating:
    Damage: Shana 8 points, Lavitz 10 points.
    Defense: Shana 10 points (because she usually guards to support the team, so she is better than Lavitz) Lavitz 8 points.
    Support ability: Shana 10 points, Lavitz 8 points.
    Flexibility: Shana 8 points, Lavitz 8 points (with Bandit's Ring will be 10 points)
    Ability to attract players: Shana 7 points (because she has no addition), Lavitz 10 points.
    Summary:
    Shana got 43 points.
    Lavitz got 44(46) points.

    I wish it was more convenient to level up characters in the game. Like I wish characters could have like a hidden dragoon lvl up thing when using them normally cause dart for me is always at lvl 2 by the time lavitz gets his dragoon spirit and then pretty shortly after you then have to be like do I want the goat healer and magic item user Shana in the party for her very helpful and cheap magic spell access. But then maybe you wanna get a head start on haschel once he joins since he's so good in mid and late game so you also probably wanna prioritize him some too.
    Also I remember rose being so much better the last time I played the game. Like astral drain does so little damage she doesn't do that much damage is really squishy. I remember her being way stronger.

      Dragoon levels are based on SP gain, so use high SP generating additions to level dragoon fast. Rose has high initial stats and low stat growth rate, so she is really good early and falls off as your team grows.

    I actually wouldn't use rose storm/blossom storm as dragoon magic, simply because it is too broken. Makes the fights too easy.
    So in essence I think lavitz/albert is probably the best character, even better than Meru just because of that spell. It makes it impossible to lose really.
    But even without it Lavitz/Albert is quite strong, better than Kongol, Rose, Shana/Miranda and Dart I'd say in human form. But surpassed by Haschel and Meru.
    For me it goes (if allowed to use rose storm):
    1. Lavitz/Albert
    2. Meru
    3. Haschel
    4. Dart
    5. Shana/Miranda
    6. Rose
    7. Kongol
    And if not rose storm:
    1. Meru
    2. Haschel
    3. Lavitz/Albert
    4. Dart
    5. Shana/Miranda
    6. Rose
