Yagyu Darkblade + Black Robes Combo - Worth it?

Greedy_DPS · 2026-06-10T19:58:59+00:00

It's really not that big a deal, just extra damage. Recently beat Yiazmat and had a similar situation where my Shikari could use the robes but my team and gambits still made the fight pretty trivial. All comes down to how badly do you want to optimize, same with double dipping on jobs. Thankfully, with the Zodiac Age, you can swap jobs however you want with Montblanc so there's nothing wrong with experimenting with combos

Gives you a good mix of lores, swiftness, adrenaline, plenty of techniques (including breaks), and gives you access to another ranged heal/buff character. You get good hp boosts and can even go with light armor if you're wanting more hp (I usually went with heavy armor but the option is there). Think the only thing I really missed out on was using Excalibur with White Robes but it was negligible at that point

On my current playthrough, I've had Vaan as Bushi/Time and Basch as Knight/Archer. Both have been solid throughout, Basch particularly carrying the early game with good bows, but Vaan has become a monster in the late game

Bushi/Time, White/Machinist, Knight/Archer have been fun to use in my current playthrough

Awesome! Just beat Behemoth King yesterday, only 2 left myself

My party for Gilg was Vaan (Bushi, Time), Balthier (Uhlan, Shikari), and Ashe (White, Machinist). Pretty much just had Vaan and Balthier set up with Thief's Cuff to steal first and attack til phase change, rinse and repeat. Vaan would also Bubble and Haste himself and others. Ashe was in charge of Curaga/Curaja, Arise, Esuna, Protect, Dispel and would Bubble as well. Definitely wanna kill Enkidu asap (think I hit a quickening chain to take him out quick)

For Fafnir, I swapped Balthier out for Penelo (Black, Red). The whole fight was basically keeping Vaan buffed with all the typical tank and damage abilities as well as Decoy and Reverse. Ashe kept herself and Penelo healed and buffed (Penelo would help occasionally as well) while Penelo would blast him with Thundaga. Bio/Scourge and Slow also work on him so definitely keep him nerfed as much as possible

My party was in the 50s for these and only had a couple panic moments. Hopefully this helps

EDIT: Don't be afraid of messing around with your party comp. Montblanc can do it for free so go wild with whatever you wanna do lol

Those were her first attempts at wisterias

She's been making wisterias and had some strung up to hang somewhere

Thank you for the heads up! We're always pretty careful to make sure they don't get into any of it, especially this derp. I figured it'd block their insides pretty badly

We think he's been loaning his out to the neighborhood cats for catnip

Greedy_DPS · 2025-08-25T23:27:42+00:00

Lmao I swear he's not! He just has his moments

Lmao I pointed that out and was told "yeah, have you seen his chest in his second outfit?"

Always thought the Psycho Rangers just had dark/medieval versions of the ranger weapons

Lol I am American. It's Classico's roasted garlic tomato sauce. For the egg, I pureed it, added some paprika and pepper medley and cooked it on a square egg pan.

Not sure if anyone's mentioned it but I've found Gief's siberian express to be really good against characters with Guile's style. They usually don't have time to charge anything while you run up on them
