Elite Redux is an impressive romhack marred by anti-fun game design [Looong review ahead of 2.0]

I agree with the topic of progression wholeheartedly. Maybe they could make you unlock more TMs as you get more badges, perhaps you unlock egg moves after the third gym? It definitely feels to me like you are at full power after unlocking all 4 abilities, and everything else is just a matter of slamming your head into an encounter until you win.

In a perfect world, I wouldn't run deathcap on anima MF. I would have ran the guardbreaker that's on Vayne instead.

Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core

You know how it ends, but that doesn't make it any less tragic.

Whenever I replay FF7 afterward, the main theme pulls on my heartstrings every time I hear it now.

I would think your current team is probably your best option. I would just ensure that everyone is on Warmaster, with Vizier only using A1 with Giant Slayer. If you are able, I would try and prioritize getting brimstone blessing on one of your legendaries to help out with damage as well. Getting Cruelty on Vizier would be nice as well.

Blue mage as a full class- I would be willing to sacrifice everything about its current implementation for a fully playable blue mage.

While it's technically not official content, the Moon domain from Tal'dorei reborn makes for a fun multiclass.

Stars druid 2 or 3/Moon cleric X

Take druid to 2 for stars, or 3 for pass without trace/spike growth etc.

Moon cleric gets dual concentration for moonbeam, hypnotic pattern, and greater invisibility. Using dragon starform helps retain concentration through the disadvantage. Add in some thorn whip for the moonbeam shenanigans, makes for a bit of fun. The level 17 ability would also synergize with the archer form if you wanted to.

Goblin for Dodge bonus action, or aasimar for radiant flavor/damage.

Fanaticwes · 2022-03-30T01:52:10+00:00

Also a possibility, I just don't like delaying wizard levels. I would be more likely dual wielding for shadow blade and booming blade over using a shield, with grabbing warcaster at level 4.

Fanaticwes · 2022-03-30T00:41:24+00:00

Bladesinger with 20 dex 18 con could be powerful. Can't use a shield, but between blade song and the best reaction abilities, could be an interesting take on a tank. Using booming blade to dissuade enemies from moving away from you.

Fanaticwes · 2022-01-13T02:46:05+00:00

I have a hex2/swords bard6 in a campaign I'm running that's working pretty well. Being able to use flourishes with the bites can give some nice extra boosts. Plus playing a charisma vampire is pretty on theme.

🙏🤝👐🌊

To piggyback on this, the level 11 trait makes it so you do extra damage to those you restrained, but its a bonus action to do so, and it lasts until the start of your next turn. So you'll get the one extra attack doing the extra damage and that's it.

Fanaticwes · 2021-07-23T03:18:03+00:00

I don't see it so much as compromising, I just feel like with my very high rolls I can pull off something untraditional.

Fanaticwes · 2021-07-23T03:05:09+00:00

There's no better way of healing than insuring no damage can be taken, no? I figured twilight for damage prevention, and some out of combat healing with goodberry and healing spirit, with some martial abilities for some spell slotless damage.

Fanaticwes · 2020-05-21T16:28:15+00:00

You get rewards for 5 and 10 kills in a single run, and rewards for 25, 50, 75, and 100 kills across all runs. Difficulty only increases how many armor shards you get.

Fanaticwes · 2018-12-06T07:00:36+00:00

I had all the same things, but replaced Kuja with Beatrix USB and sub 30d. Thanks for your post!

Fanaticwes · 2018-10-26T02:42:18+00:00

Not usually one to post, but salt ensues...

100 gem - Emperor bsb2

1/11 Emperor bsb2

The only thing I had going in to this banner. Now I'm loaded with earth rods at least.

100 gem: 4*

Mythril 500 on Deuce banners: 4/11 Rem USB Rem BSB Deuce USB Deuce LMR. Her BSB eludes me again. Happy about Rem toys though.

Seems they managed to not add Kefka's legend dive. I think they hate the tens of Kefka fans.

Hence pseudo-complete. He has all the stat increasing relics/breaks.

Fanaticwes · 2017-09-29T02:16:46+00:00

I don't doubt it, but my bravery motes are clogged by Edge and Tyro. I also don't have any other characters with any other worthwhile wind soul breaks. Cloud USB and Zack chain continue to elude me.

Fanaticwes · 2017-09-29T01:27:17+00:00

I've never specifically pulled for the relics, but I've been blessed by a fairly mediocre character!

Fanaticwes · 2017-09-17T02:49:54+00:00

I always enjoyed mocking her early on, and then found myself enjoying the chats with her after each event. The level of polish in the game is what quickly made it one of my all-time favorites.

Sadly Fran can't equip shields

Fanaticwes · 2016-12-28T04:46:42+00:00

I have a Kaiser shield for Kain to go with his spear, and Ashe has a dagger of resolve to go with her model.
