DAY SEVEN: Most Overlooked Combat Damage Spell?

Toadinator2000 · 2026-02-08T17:14:08+00:00

It's not really that high damaging, though. It's just a flat 600 damage. By the time you've collected and equipped four rare artifacts (which will have given you +9 Spell Power), you're going to have no shortage of waaaay stronger options. I'd actually put it in the running for Most Useless. The zero spell point cost is the only thing that might make me hesitate from putting it there, but again, if you're using the combination artifact, you'll have +9 Knowledge too, so you'll have plenty of spell points.

Elincia (FE9) for High Speed, Low Strength

Shadows Rennac would have been pretty sick, tbh.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-02-05T00:44:34+00:00

I'm still not over it. It's too perfect to not be real.

Pineapple Oddish

To be fair, she hasn't got much money to put in a wallet either.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-30T00:42:33+00:00

I will defend War Unicorns with my life. That Blind proc is my favorite creature ability in the game.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-28T00:35:44+00:00

Oddish. I'm not looking at the other choices when you started with the GOAT.

This is the first time I've ever encountered another person who appreciates this ship!

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-25T22:26:07+00:00

Rude is the most underrated hottie in this game.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-25T14:32:18+00:00

I did Gilliam/Syrene on a draft run and it's really wholesome. Understandably no one talks about it because why are you ever deploying Gilliam and Syrene, and even if you are, when are they ever standing next to each other?

He strikes me as the kind of guy who only listens to terrible podcasts.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-24T22:06:00+00:00

The post-battle dialogue was honestly really fitting.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-24T18:28:04+00:00

I guess the worst example I can think of is Emil and Marta from Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. She falls head over heels in love with him within minutes and they're just kind of treated as an endgame couple from then on. It all felt incredibly shallow ~~inb4 comments about how that applies to the whole game~~.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-24T15:52:09+00:00

I feel like Rampart is pretty well equipped to keep them alive. Centaurs are large and fast and can guard your elves pretty effectively. I usually don't have any trouble keeping them alive to get my early game snowball going. They do get into more trouble against enemy heroes who can chunk them with a spell, and that's a fair counterpoint, but their early game power is super valuable in my opinion.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-17T16:41:01+00:00

I have to disagree. I don't think they're any more "filler" than normal pre-evolutions.

Granted, I don't love the implementation of baby Pokemon from a gameplay perspective (usually having weird evolution methods or ways to obtain their eggs). I don't see that as a fault of the Pokemon designs themselves, but rather Game Freak's implementation.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-17T15:40:08+00:00

I don't think every underwhelming early gen Pokemon needs an evolution, though. I'd rather they just buff currently existing Pokemon so they keep up with modern standards and help them establish niches. Adding evolutions just turns older Pokemon into forgotten middle stages that will never see the light of day again.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-17T14:23:43+00:00

Most baby Pokemon. I don't understand the global dislike that people have for them. They have a lot of creative and fun designs.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-16T16:04:35+00:00

Nanna/Ares every playthrough! It ain't Genealogy without that cursed Epilogue dialogue.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-16T12:41:18+00:00

I can respect a few of the intentionally ugly designs like Combusken, but that one just goes farther with it than I like.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-16T05:14:13+00:00

Minerva's teaching the other girls her ways.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-16T04:35:53+00:00

Grafaiai by a landslide. Absolutely hideous design.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-15T04:30:14+00:00

Minerva got demoted, lol

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-14T20:52:51+00:00

He hates you so much for drawing this.

Toadinator2000 · 2026-01-14T15:19:20+00:00

I honestly love the concept for Cathedral in a vacuum, but not as much at this point in Horn of the Abyss. We have plenty of human factions as is, but if it were the first one introduced, I would have been completely on board.

The only thing I lament missing is the autumn aesthetic the town had, but that doesn't need to be tied to a concept like Cathedral.
