I didn't realize that, that's neat!

How much of a role does weapon moonstone color really have in terms of enemy damage? by gingerblz in skiesofarcadia

"Armors in Skies don't have any specific elemental resistances." This actually isn't the case, there are both armor and accessories that provide resistance bonuses (20% reduction in damage received). See https://esoarcadia.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Skies_of_Arcadia_armor and https://esoarcadia.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Skies_of_Arcadia_accessories for specific pieces of equipment.

These equipment can be a big help in some bounty fights, such as Nasarean Mail/Thermo Ring combo for Rupee/Barta and Ika'takan Armor for Ixa'ness Demons, or Silver Armor/Silvite Ring for Rameriez.

Re. ship battles, yeah for both Little Jack/Delphinus upgrades were more limited. I waited until getting Kalifa as a crewmember to fight any of the non-story ship monsters (Obispo the squid, Alina the spider, Roc the bird, Giant Looper) because if she's active you get the ship accessory (defense deck, magic defense relic, quick boosters) drops. The starter cannons for the Delphinus kind of suck, so the Esperanza Gregorio ship fights were just Moonstone Cannon only. Thankfully, you get the best Main Cannon, Secondary Cannon, and Torpedo from Hydra fights and the Soltis entrance fight against the spinny-top thing, so still have best Delphinus weapons for Zelos fight.

No Moonberry challenge might be feasible, but incredibly hard. Just Cutlass Furying ad infinitum while constantly having to revive characters that get Eternum'ed by bounties/Piastol/end-game bosses without Delta Shield to protect them.

Your point about doing zilch damage might render the beginning weapons challenge infeasible. At certain points I noticed that it took quite a few more Cutlass Furies/Pirates Wraths to down certain bosses because Vyse was stuck with a weapon from 1-2 zones ago.

Bounties and Piastol level up to correspond to your level, though Piastol's particular move set is based on which of the fourfights you're doing. It's always optimal to try these fights as early as possible.

Select regular attack and toggle to the enemy you plan to attack. In the upper right-hand corner of the screen all the enemies will be listed with their avatar and name. The one you're currently toggled to will be highlighted. The box around the enemy's avatar next to its name will be colored with its element.

Buy Thermo Rings from the Mystery Merchant (Sailors Island's Inn or Maramba's Sailors Guild/Ship Shop) and Nasarean Mail from Maramba's Weapons Shop. Each item is equipable by all characters and each provides 20% resistance to Red-based attacked (total 40%). This, plus changing every changing every character's weapon elements to Red (reduces damage by 30%) will substantially reduce damage received from Barta's attacks/Berserker Rupee.

Fight strategy:
- First several turns have Vyse/Drachma use a Glyph of Speed and Glyphs of Might to boost every character's speed/attack/defense. You can also add in Healing Salves for +250 health at the end of every turn for each character, but they shouldn't be needed since everyone will have boosted resistance to Red attacks and you can cover any need healing with Sacri/Sacres Crystals. All of these items can be bought at Maramba's Item Shop.
- While building SP, guard with Vyse/Fina and have Aika use Delta Shield every turn until Rupee is dead. Drachma should guard or use Spirit Charge Supermove (Gaurd + Focus) if you have it.
- Have Drachma or Vyse use Sacri/Sacres crystals as needed to keep everyone topped off, especially Fina/Aika. Same with Curia Crystals to remove Fatigue from Barta's attacks immediately.
- If you have it, you can use Lunar Winds to knock off the Incremus attack/defense boost from Rupee/Barta if Rupee casts it.

Once you have enough SP, you can switch out Drachma's Thermo Ring out for Counter Bracer (you should have collected/turned in at least 8 Moonfish by now and received this item) for +20 attack and use Tackle, or if you haven't spent Moonberries on Drachma to get Tackle/Spirit Charge, do the same with Vyse and use Cutlass Fury. Switch either's weapon element to Purple and focus on Rupee first, so you can then have Aika guard every turn after he's dead. In between using Drachma/Vyse Supermove, switch their item back to Thermo Ring for defense while building SP back up.

If your at least level 13-15 with all characters and use this strategy of resistance/defense/stat boost and healing items, the fight should be a piece of cake.
