Thanks everyone, be good to each other!
I love love love how many different unit combos you can make just in Cornia. It's kind of overwhelming in a good way honestly.
It’s good to redo formations, I know my early formations are lacking compared to the ones really feeding strong characters like Berenice. She does like 9 hits, it’s just stronger. I like my early units for their survivability and adaptiveness but if I have Berenice guard the base nothing will happen.
Other players: I'm going to set up a team with two soldiers, a warrior, and a swordmaster in order to act as a sustain for protecting key points and-
Me: THREE SELLSWORDS AND A CLERIC, DOG PILE THE MOTHERFUCKERS!
@@kingVibe111 This. I just spend a good chunk of time redoing my Squads because besides my main like 4 squads the others were either just okay or just there for assists. Hopefully my newly redone 10 squads now can do some work.
@@RinOverdrive yeah I spent like an hour and now I have a team that can do an aoe true-strike multi-hit nuke, twice. And yet some units in the coliseum still handily counter them.
I'm not sure how I feel about it. I can see how deep it goes but find that pretty intimidating. I mostly game just to relax and switch off my brain.
I'm gonna keep going, despite feeling too stupid to be good at this 😂
One of my best squads has been a slightly modified version of the fire burst squad you showed. Rather than running a second wizard, I went with auch for fire burst, selvie for debuff support for survivability, Rolf with the flame bow for extra burn application, and a tank unit. For a while that was hodrick, but I eventually swapped in lex and later swapped Rolf for berengaria. Once I got access to it, I ran the sandstorm staff on selvie with a carnelian pendant and a promotion to druid, and with only a few minor adjustments to tactics (mostly to take down a pesky arbalist promoted unit that shut the team’s damage down), this squad pretty comfortably swept through the colosseum up until the last couple floors where I needed the extra power of a fifth unit to overcome the fact that I was fighting promoted units twice my level.
Another neat combo I found while doing the colosseum was pairing Travis or another thief with a Viking or housecarl at level 25 for their war horn ability. War horn procs at the start of battle and makes your attacks unguardable, then the thief is able to use passive steal to guaranteed bypass any guard and steal the target’s passive points. Pairing this with the sandstorm druid selvie, auch for burn damage, and a tank was how I managed to beat the boss of the colosseum and get a unit the game definitely doesn’t intend you to have when the rest of your units are level 20-21 except for the level 25 war horn bot
The coliseum really gets you thinking about your units.
“Drain pp” is crazy
😂😂
Omg... putting the same move twice into the move set makes so much sense. I didn't think about it. That way you can kinda tell your unit "prioritize..." even if there is no option for that. Like fire burst. It can't be set to "prioritize buning". But by putting two different fire burst it basically can. That will help me a lot in the future
You can set the tactics for Fire Burst to Burning.
Yeah! Glad to see my boy Auch getting the appreciation he deserves. Familiar choker fireburst sweeps!
Anyway, a couple squads I've cooked up(shamelessly stolen from the game itself):
1. Swordfighter + Witch + Hunter. Prioritize Dual Shot on the hunter, and give both the physical attackers crit builds. The idea is to maximize magic conferral with crits. True hit is just the icing on top. I've also found some success with Gambler's coin on a tank in front, for an extra source of PP.
2. Double offensive curse shaman + sellsword + tank. The tank I use is a radiant knight to deal with magic. Another one I stole from the game itself, though it they used double gladiators, I was impressed by the damage reduction anyway.
3. Knight + hoplite + knight backrow, with radiant knight front row. Set the hoplite to only cover physical attacks. Once the knights promote to great knights, the cavalier call stacks can even break through armored units. The game sorta teaches you backwards, with hoplite in front and rad knights at the back, but the hoplite's cover works better this way against area attacks.
I like your #3 tip. I've been ignoring my hoplite because I couldn't figure out a good use for him. I have 2 archers with pursuit skill in the back, and they do a great job with my thief and griffin.
A really op unit formation I have is putting Alain in the front, and the other 3 slots at the back being Scarlett, Rosalinde and Eltolinde. It makes Alain unkillable plus really heavy damage, Scarlett having Thunderbrand Tome while Eltolinde having Gambler’s Coin makes Alain’s damage do like 200+. Rosalinde is there for finishing off other units who survives Alain 👍🏼
I run Melisandre with the accessory that increases her crit chance and crit damage via PP after an attack and have Artenie only activate when a scout is present so she doesnt waste any PP to whiff. On top of a unit you can get later that gives PP when a unit uses PP and have it target the highest crit to keep her going
When you recruit Morton, the town sells an Azure Crest Shield which Alain can make great use of to allow another use of his guard skills.
Love this unit build video!!! Hope to see more of it!!!
Something to consider for comp 1 is for Travis' Powerful Call to only trigger when he has 2+ PP just incase he wiffs his PP steal move. Though you can ignore this condition if you want to lean on a thief's solid evasion stat
His PP steal move might want the subcondition, "Lowest Guard Rate". Just to make it more consistent. I have that and "No Armored" so that he poisons armored foes instead.
Sooo many squad combinations!!! Loving every minute of this game!
Dancers bracelet is amazing, I hope I find another one soon
I'm currently making my way through Bastorias. Some of my favorite units are: Melissandre on the front, Leah and Aramis on the back edge, and Josef on the middle back. Melissandre has a silk scarf, meaning that she pretty much dodges most things and parries what she doesn't. Aramis has a Dancer's Bracelet, so he boosts the Meteor slashes of Leah and Melissandre. Whoever manages to stand their attacks gets pursued by Josef.
Another formation is two dark knights and a knight in front, one shaman and Scarlett on the back. One of the dark knights has the Lifeshare shield, so he can both split his health and protect the others on the front. Scarlett has the Gravekeeper boots and the Resurrection staff, so if one of the dark knights bites it, she gains one AP and resurrects him at 1HP for a devastating blow.
My favorite squad at the moment (I’m at level 20 ish) is Berenice, Primm, Chloe, and a tank of some sort in front; i have Berenice use PP points to give herself true strike, and Chloe gives her guaranteed crits. I’ll admit it may not be the best, but it’s so satisfying to see Berenice landing multiple hits dealing 60 or 70 damage and getting to attack like 6 times in one turn lol
Wait til you meet the bestials lol
You blew my mind with the fire sweep setup I never would have thought of intentionally nerfing a damage dealer like that.
Right? That is some Yugioh levels of strategy.
You could setup the other wizard to attack on turn 2. This allows wizard 1 to attack, then on turn 2 provide the boost without a reduction to damage. If the wizards are attacking after the enemy, the bonus damage from burn is irrelevant anyway since the enemy wouldn't be using any active skills to trigger the burn damage. This is assuming the enemy also has just 1 AP. With both wizards having the same initiative, which wizard attacks first is random I believe. You could also use an item to boost the supporting wizard's initiative so they attack before their support skill activates on the second wizard.
Could you redo your promoted class tier list WITHOUT the base classes already being on the list? It made it a pain trying to find anyone on it lol.
Thank you. This is my first strategy rpg and it’s a bit overwhelming with all of the infinite combinations this game provides. I have been doing fine so far but my teams have been pretty random.
Now you can either go to the land of dragons (lvl 10) or the land of elves (lvl 50).
Me:
8:35 I think Ochlys’s Shield Smite skill actually covers physickal and magickal defense since it doesn’t specify one of them. I could be wrong though, but the verbiage in other skills in the game kinda back this up
This game is amazing. It gives me hope that we will now get a new Ogre Battle 64 successor. That game is my absolute favorite and that story deserved to go somewhere! The tactics with a 3x3 grid are a little different and finding the hidden characters and the items was so much fun. I am hoping we see some of that in UO as well.
This is still from the demo, since my special edition only arrives on Monday, but my favorite squad is with Sharon (cleric) in the back, Travis (thief) in the middle front and Bruno (gladiator) in the front right. The only gear special is a Lapis Pendant and Hallowed Mace on Sharon to get an additional pp for "Refresh" (regain hp at the beginning of an active action), with Travis gear simply increasing dodging and Bruno having HP up and guardsmen lantern to be immune to burn.
The result is a team that i can basically throw at everything to soften up difficuilt encounters like bosses, since Travis barely gets hit and Bruno can take the punishment with his high hp and Sharons help. Bruno also can reliably remove the front row, allowing to deal with bosses in the back like Auche safely.
So, what kind of unit would you add as a fourth one to that setup, Titanium?^^ Just out of curiosity.^^
@@DieKao It was useful in the early game. I swapped out Sharon for Berengaria later and let Berengaria do the tanking and Bruno could do his thing from the backline.
I'm only like level 7 / D-rank and it's astonishing to discover how much deeper this game's mechanics actually get - I'm realising I've barely scratched the surface!
One of my best formations is Griffon at front, and Housecarl, Shaman, and wizard at the back. It's stupidly effective. Parting Blow and Fire Burst do a good job cleaning house.
Similar setup for me, except I have a gladiator instead of a housecarl and both he and the griffon are on the frontline. Set the griffon knight to cleave the back row and the gladiator to cleave the front row, witch buffs them with armor-piercing, shaman debuffs enemies attacking so the two frontliners can survive, it's been fun seeing them just sweep cavalry squads.
there's a quest you can do of finding 4 stone tablets or something in order that gives you a sword with +5 every stat for alein pretty early on, also you can steal the lucky coin from the priestess girl (the one thats friends with the angel) it gives +20 evasion and crit for travis
My best squad atm is definitely 2 hunters, an elven augur with the dancer's bracelet and a radiant knight with all physical defense items in the frontline. The double shot from the hunters getting boosted just kills almost everything in the game, and the frontliner can heal itself or the entire backline, and they are an awesome support unit for other squads during any stage and are completely untouchable from guardtowers.
I've also found that giving a thief the pursuer bracelet and then pairing it with a unit that gives defense down when it attacks is also quite good because it will steal pp and then pursue 3-4 times per fight from the backline
For early game (15 and under), I had a ton of success using a gryphon knight in the front and Yahna and Auch in the back. Fly around nuking mobs with magic and use the staff you get from Auch's recruitment mission to get a free magic parting blow. Absolutely broken imo
One of my favorites currently is a party with Aramis up front, with Gilbert, Berenice, and a free slot currently occupied by Colm (will most likely replace with some kind of healing off-tank soon). Gave Aramis the War Cry bracelet and Gilbert a good +initiative accessory, and the team becomes death for pretty much any unit without a full front line of armor to tank.
Having said that, it’s really hard to find anything that can beat a fully-stacked Cavalry Call team. Clive, Monica, Adel in front with some kind of anti-armor or anti-dodge in the back, and the team is just zipping across the map dealing 400+ dmg to anything they touch 😅
Liked and subscribed, thanks for the info mate
6:37 what growths did you give this unit? And for the other mage in the group?
shaman are the mvp if you have a unit large enough to afford having one slot not dedicated to throwing up numbers (damage or healing). they are insanely good at shutting down healing or defensive passives. i've been running one in the alain gank squad with clive and a sellsword. they've been virtually untouchable against anything but armor. in that case i just call in the josef anti-armor escort service and lol
-20 evasion and initiative at the start of the battle is absurdly busted. That's like 25 levels of stats reduced. Also, the staff you get fairly easily from the battle arena pushes them way over the edge into game breaking by just blinding the entire enemy squad off the bat.
As a noob who hasn't yet left Cornia, my Travis and Aubin combo has been really good since Travis dodges very well and Aubin, though susceptible to Calvary units, has powerful attacks not to mention "parting blow".
in this set of builds and such you removed from MC the unicorn ring, where/who did inherit the ring???
Is there a way to get a second chlorotic staff?
I know it can be pretty limiting, but I'm curious how you might build some units with only story characters and no mercs. Not saying Mercs are wrong, I just like sticking to story characters for my first play through.
I'm still around level 8, but I've come to some cool compositions that I'm enjoying a lot. I have one team with Bruno at the front, the wizard and a cleric at the back. The cleric has the accessory that makes her buff the wizard, and because she doesn't attack, the -50% mag attack debuff is neglected. The wizard prioritizes armored opponents and back row; Bruno prioritizes the row with most enemies. Then if anything is left alive by the end of the battle, they explode :)
Another one is the thief at the front, Lex and the original cavalier at the back. The thief poisons armored enemies and steals pp for sweet dodges; Lex protects the thief from true arrows; and the cavalier just sweeps anything that is left alive.
Another one that is just busted is Alain at the front, the witch and anyone else at the back (I use the axe merc guy, the one that attacks at the end of battles, but the sellsword is even better). The witch gives Alain (or anyone attacking first) the ability to deal magic damage to armored targets, plus it freezes high priority enemies that eventually go after her. Alain is just a very good character anyways. And the axe merc or sellsword sweeps.
There are many cool ways to form teams, and these will get even stronger when they all have access to four characters (I use a soldier with Alain's team, for example, and that's great for more survival). This game is really good.
The squad I'm currently using with Ochlys consists of Ochlys alone in the Front Row, and in the back row I have Auch, Morganne (a generic Witch), and Sebile (Shaman). So far that squad has been tearing things up like there's no tomorrow. I also gave Ochlys the accessory that lets her counterattack every time she's attacked, and it turns the squad into a monster that mostly focuses on debuffing the enemy and buffing Ochlys as she dodges just about everything they throw at her and she launches a counterattack every single time she gets targeted. It's probably even better than my Alain Squad (consisting of Alain, Travis, a generic Shaman, & Scarlett).
Thus far I've liberated all of the available regions in the starting area (up to the level 14 Liberation that can potentially net you Tatiana depending on your choice at the end) and I have only just obtained Virginia & Leah, so I'm still pretty early in the game.
Where do you get the black iron weapons? I know I've seen them in game...I've double checked every store and googled it, no luck finding an answer :/
You can buy them at Drakehold Nation City/towns
@@Avanael ahh, I must have just won my only black iron weapon in a battle then and forgot. Haven't been there yet. Thank you!
@@Ganyonz Black iron axe? the fat dude you recruit when you siege that starting town comes equipped with it
Meanwhile i team up those who are relevant to each other,
Wouldn't Lex or another arrow/true strike interceptor be a better slot in than Ochlys? You already have ample damage and setup from your gryphon knight and two wizards, having a more defensive rock would remove the one main weakness the squad has.
To add to this another good tactic I like is using your thieves not as dodge tanks but buff bots. Placing them in the back row allows them to steal PP and then use it to buff your other attackers. This is better than having a buffer in a squad with a thief tank since most buffs are set to automatically be cast on whomever attacks first which with a thief's high initiative is often them.
That said this is a later game tactic as it won't really work before you have four slots (and the gear to give your thieves support skills) unless your tank is self sustaining. Early game you could go with Arlain/Sangine blade Lex, thief buffer and a third heavy hitter. You could also have a Gryphon as your tank if you really want to blitz everything, just be very wary of truestrike.
My mid game squad right now is alain knight in front line then shaman with angel plume and the elven augur with ice conferal. The only weakness is heavy flyer comps as they are hard to hit but with the shamans debuff they still cannot kill my guys so for heavy flying comps i switch the knight to virginia.
For the Burn/Fire Burst Combo, I've been using a Shaman/Druid with the Fire Curse Staff and a Familiar Collar with Auch.
Yeah that staff is wild, I just found it last night.
Theas are decent. From very early on I had a Griffin Knight hire unit with a focus on crit and evade with Yahna using her passive skills to buff. I call this team the Magic Shredder. I'm in Drakenhold and it's still very useful. The 3rd Unit I was using for a while was Bruno as a way to double down on a AOE sweep but now I've replaced him with a 'spoiler' character with a spear that reduces their Initiative so I can make sure Yahna is buffing the Knight.
The spears squad makes me want to make a Spanish tercio, two spears two crossbows and two fighters
You can only have up to 5 in a squad but the premise is still accomplished by a lot of different classes available in the game.
Combining a griffin rider, the elf augur lady u get as soon as you enter the elf land, and a witch for a massive freeze team
I would love to see more team comp videos like this
Berengaria with... anyone because she's so fucking good lmao. Just give her items which give her extra pp and she just tears through entire battles practically solo.
I have a double wombo combo team with Hilda as the centerpiece and the burning chloratic stretegy as a harsh backup. Later in the game you can find Hilda and a special item called a dragoon war spear or dragoon lance, anyways its the only weapon that has dragoon in the title, her class is the only one that can equip this weapon i think so far, it allows her to go into a charging stance and after it completes she attacks all enemies, i Have a hoplite in front and a shaman, Hilda, and Warlock in back, the Warlock picks up the Chloratic and the shamen uses the Fire Hex Staff allowing you to burn a entire row. i also uses powerful call, war cry and flame conferral. So when Hilda's attack goes off she hits everyone with a fire attack, I give her Wyvern Reins that grants her Truestrike and a damage buff if shess 100%. this squad instantly KO's just about everything in comes into contact with exceept for a few enemy squads that I barely remember.
There’s a problem with your True Thrust on Clive. It will correctly only trigger when there is a scout present. However, nothing is configured to hit the scout if he uses the move. You need Condition 2 to be “Scout”. You need Condition 1 to be “Prioritize Scouts”.
this is wrong on both counts. just one ‘scout’ condition is enough to trigger true thrust on scouts, ‘prioritise scouts’ is completely redundant. the problem is that he put true thrust below the priority for wild rush so the ai will always use wild thrust as long as there is a column, even if the column has thieves. what he needs to do is put the true thrust line above wild rush
I prefer to wild rush over true thrust, this why it's set as a higher priority.
@@TitaniumLegman why is whiffing against thieves preferable?
@@aliasonarcotics I like the stun on the front and Backline that wild rush provides.
I’ve recently threw together a 3 unit team that’s surprisingly efficient, consisting of Hilda, Chloe and Colm
This game is kicking my ass idk how people felt it was too easy, but then again ive never been an SRPG god having fun tho
I would love to see if these builds are effective on tanky team or pure evasion especially on some lengthy liberation quest or main quests.
Thank you for sharing!
God this game is crazy good
I have s question for you do the hireable units ever respawn. Like there are 2 each available unit at each fort. I have also noticed if i dismiss them they dont return to available to recruit (immediately) so i am wondering what you know on the subject since you are doing alot of hiring for fan characters. Thank you
Nope, they don't respawn.. They are so many hiring spots available across the map especially after you have done Halfway through the game..
@@ryuchan123 thank you! I was wondering about that. Minor disapointment but still love the game!
You should give one of your soldiers in the soldier squad the gamblers coin to heavily buff your true strike users. Maybe even 2 gamblers coins.
Melissandre and renault front, sharon, colm in the back worked really good for me so far. Though i didnt put to much thought into that team until now
I want to try to build a doom knight squad around primm's resurrection ability when ive got the time tomorrow
Are some of those units generic mercenaries? Like Stephen and the Griffon Rider, etc in the Winged Angels team, or the ones in the 3rd team. If so, how did you build them? (Unit growths, etc)
Hang on, you can recruit Ochlys? In my game she just lets me trade shards in for stuff. How do you recruit her?
I think after you give her enough shards you then have the option to recruit her.
30 shards total
The wizard comp
On early game
You cold give the wizzard with the choke a iniciative + item. So he attacks with his normal attack, and when Auch attacks, he lower his magic to buff Auch
So none of then attack with lower magic damage (when you get 2AP it stop being that important, but for early its just too good)
Won't Travis always use Passive Steal with that setup? Never Toxic Throw?
Very interesting setups. I would’ve been interested to see some example fights with them, but good video nonetheless.
I did have combat footage in the video. 🤔
Would it be more broken to make a squad with a witch/wizard, and have a shamen equipped with Familiars choker? I'll leave an edit if it works.
Edit: hehe.. nope it doesn't 😞
Trying to do the Colosseum and its hard most characters are at level 20 and i want to unlock amalia but shes at the very top.
I need extra 5 man sets. my main unit is (all promoted) alain, monica, berenice, rosalinde, melisandre; and my second team is travis, ochlys, clive and two others I forgot lol
I have Hoderic protecting Auch and another mage I named after myself (surprisingly, my name or something pretty close was in the name list). My Alain unit needs to be reorganized, but I want to keep Scarlet with him. I have an anti-cavalry unit with two griffin knights and Yonah, but I want to replace her with another unit, I'm thinking Shaman.
you can put lex in place of ochlys so he can defend the two wizards against hunters
Two griffin knights in the front row, with a shaman and house carle in the back is unstoppable in the early game
Maybe someone can answer a question I've been having with the tactics? Okay so for HP by percent and HP by just HP. I think it's cause I don't really understand the difference between the two. How do you judge what to set for healing or attack? When should you use lowest hp% or just lowest hp for example?
I made a tricorn squad with Aubin as the 4th wheel and they do some good damage
If I'm 20 hrs in. Should I restart to save gammel or nah? Just left the main area and went in the desert area
@@Hero5slayer It's entirely up to you. You'll have a different quest later on now that's also interesting, and Gammel doesn't bring anything unique to your party that a generic thief can't. If you like his character, go for it, but you're already pretty deep.
@TitaniumLegman manage to get my lvl back in 5 hrs 💀
I built a squad with Lex, Roaslinde, Scarlett, and Hodrik I think. No matter what situation I got into it did anywhere between 130-250 damage and let me survive everything so far.
It's true pain wanting to play with "canon" units like pairing Lex and Chloe together or Alain and Scarlett but most of those types of units aren't super viable on the hardest difficulty. Love your videos and guides even if I don't necessarily copy them much. Lastly, the name Fabienne is pronounced like "Fah-bee-n" with the last n just being like your saying the letter N on its own. This is the closest I'll ever get to my name being in a game and it's the girl version lol.
I guess if someone is gonna think Alain is pronounced Alayne they're gonna think Fabienne is Faybienne. But for some reason Renault isn't Renallt 🤔
they are pretty viable even on harder difficulties based on my experience. A cav based team with Alain in the front row with a great knight + another defense speced great knight or doom knight, being supported by scarlett + 1 (I use chloe as my 5th) is probably my second best performing team when testing in the offline arena. Fighter/vanguards and soldiers/sergeants really shine as a 5th party member option rather than being the core of a team, with that said you can easily build them for the main core of a team depending of how you gear them, for example if you give the vanguard a large aid kit + a lapis and/or azure crest shield etc + appropriate tactics, he can easily be the main sustain/tank for a flying based core. I am not actually end game yet (i have done the offline arena even a bit past the champion while underleveled, so i have fought super end game teams) but every class I have come across has been viable in some way even if they seem niche. Even the hoplite/legionaire class which seems like a 1 dimensional tank with a glaring weakness to anti-armor/magic on paper, shines in the late game as a tank once it gains access to its later class skill.
I've been running Chloe, Lex and Rolf as backliners for the Gryphon Knight lady. Gryphon Knight tanks and slays cavalry, Lex blocks arrows, Rolf handles true strike + handles other fliers, Chloe adds extra anti-cavalry damage and utility. They're my go-to for deleting cavalry and fliers.
As for Alain and Scarlett, I think that Scarlett had some sort of ability that gives an ally +1 PP when she "receives" an ally's passive, so Alain's guard skills probably have a nice interaction there.
Man I’m hoping I don’t regret not recruiting Nina, she was really strong in the demo but I had completely forgot that you need to speak with her with her sister before taking her out while I was doing fresh save and catching up. I had saved literally right after completing the map and noticed she didn’t join but it was too late lmao
Can probably sub her out for other units later but it’s definitely gonna bug me that I missed a character.
Anyways one of my better squads right now is a sweeping team consisting of Frontline: Bruno, Berenice, Backline: Adel, Sharon.
+Bruno is pretty much there to hit rows and soften them up if he doesn’t outright take them out with a Carnelian Pendant to give him the extra swing.
+Berenice I have front lining because I gave her the Sanguine Blade which she will only use the active if she’s below 50%, otherwise she uses Heavy Slash if they have high hp or Killing Chain when below 50%. Accessories are Carnelian Pendant and Warriors Medallion just in case she needs the extra action to soften them up first or a miss happens and the extra Phys stats + crit rate.
+Adel is just there to do Knight stuff, Unwavering Spear for scouts/fliers, Wild Rush on columns and Assaulting lance to get going. Recruit shield and Merc Eyepatch, will replace the shield later.
+Sharon is there to keep everyone patched up, no special staff as of right now and has the Charm of Warding, since this team really lacks magic defense, and a Lapis Pendent for any extra heals or warding to throw out when needed. Main reason I have Berenice only use Sanguine Attack at half Hp since she’ll likely get topped up by Sharon already, but if unable to she has the back up heal.
My other squads are a bit past the Demo point or I’m still tweaking them out, but this one is for sure one that’s done me pretty well. Only really struggles against high armor enemies but I have another squad to deal with Armors, so no big deal.
You can always replace Nina with a Merc of the same class, there is no different stat wise between the cast and the mercenaries.
@@RinOverdrive Of course but I enjoy seeing rapport conversations build up over time as well, though I don't know if I'd have had her with anyone that she would build rapport with.
Glauster front, Clive/cav, Aubin, Berengaria in back. Enjoy.
I spent a lot of my honor unlocking new squads and hiring memebers. Should I restart the game and focus on opening a 4th member spot?
You don't HAVE to if you're making fine progress. It's just my suggestion. How far in are you?
@@TitaniumLegman I haven’t left Cornia yet. I liberated a good number of areas and I don’t really mind doing it all over again using better strategy. I’m currently feeling a bit overwhelmed and not really happy with like half my squads because I’m still trying to understand synergy. Your vids are helping a lot. Now, I want to tackle it all again with a bit more knowledge.
@@mgoldstyles In that case, go for it! It never hurts to revisit stuff with a more experienced eye.
Why do you use lowest % HP for Clive, but then >50% HP for Mordon? I’m still learning so how would that differ? Wouldn’t that largely be the same thing?
Honestly, Mordon just came with that Tactic set on his skill and it works just fine, so I didn't bother changing it.
@@TitaniumLegman Ah, I see. I'm just learning all the various tactics. I've found you can do "Lowest HP" and then "Lowest % HP," which again feels pretty similar in most instances, but I guess some skills are reliant on KO'ing the foe, while others just need to deal damage.
@@drygnfyre important to note that lowest percent can get you caught sometimes as well. A gladiator with 33 of his 99 hp left, vs a thief with his 10 hp out of 20, would be targeted first if using lowest percent. Which could be a problem.
Virginia + 3 Javelin throwers with pursuit soldiers beats everything.
Lol my alian squad was also same with Travis with dancer bracelet and clive
I am still early with 3 squad teams
So having 1 cleric in each squad is not good? I also enjoy having axe-bros and big Axe bros everywhere
clerics are great in most teams with a frontline designed to tank hits instead of dodging hits. Axe bros are amazing too, especially with cleric
Some interesting choices with the Tactics here. War Cry seems wasted on Clive though.
Nah, single specialized tank on front line and 3 dps on back works best (or 2 dps and 1 healer, some tanks, specially the high evasion ones don't need healers).
I'm not using generics, since you don't really need them and i'm pairing the classes i have multiple of with themselves, 3 warriors, 2 ranged, 2 sellswords, etc, that way they become specialized against a type of unit, which is really needed for hardest difficulty. And all of my squads have cav or flying as leaders for mobility, except thief (faster than flying) and berengalia mostly for defending base (which i pair with both mages and the elf, they can deal with almost anything the game can throw at them).
I was fully expecting to see the Bonk Squad here 😂
Oh don't worry, they're getting their own video soon haha.
I still don't see the point of lowest %health instead of simply using lowest health. You can have a huge health enemy that is at 99% while the rest are at 100%, but have half, or even a third as much health. Typically the lower health enemies deal the most damage too, or are at least the most disruptive.
Seeing how you are getting ochlys early and all these items, I'm assuming ur executing bandits lol
Nope, every single character has been spared.
I need to find a squad for beating rogues 😅 They just don't do not damage to Mt team and I do not damage to them 😅
Josef, Clive, Adel, and Miriam... you're welcome.
Best gear in the game is the 20% xp items, stack them all on every hero, and you will be level 20 fighting lvl 15s pretty fast these 4 are Unstoppable Front row Lex Back row Aduin Chole nina they one shot anything in the game and own everything when all 4 are advance classes
I find virgina leah rosedine and the angel work well
Ah yes my units are finally perfect!!
(Watches video)
Ok time to rebuild
One of my favorite (and best team) in my playthrough was the werelion, werebear, breaker, druid and elvin sypil
This was a set up i made twords the end of the game the were were front line tanking and dealing good damage while the druid used sandstorm and supported the elf with the white hood so it could set off a powerful element roar (thats like 220 potency group attack with full stakes) and breaker just cleaned things up
I could improve it by like switching breaker for something that gives true strike but this team was really fun
I avoided using mercs in my first playthrough and just used what the game gave me and it was fun
Edit: Also the werelion was the leader and can move surprisingly fast at night for a team you would think is slow, werefox speed at night is stupid with a speed buff
Im playing on normal should have played on hard, normal is too easy
Melisandre Focus Critique and évasion and front line ...
Don't know why many folks have been complaining about how junky Lex is. I've been using him as a squad leader since the start and he's quite capable if you pair him up properly with the correct unit members and equipment. I have him in the front row as a tank and Cloe in the back to heal. Essentially I followed the game's suggestion of pairing them up and gave Cloe the spear with truestrike. I think Clive was then added to the back row to assist, but I'd have to check my team build later. Once you can unlock 3 or more members to a team, you can get some really interesting synergy builds going.
For your second squad, that's almost the same as mine. Instead of the Griffon, I'm using Alain. Also instead of Stephan, I'm using the Witch. Alain's the sole tank and the other 3 are in the back row, with the Angel behind Alain. I can't remember the item he has, but I recall the skill being Guarding Fighter. When he gets hit by an attack and triggers Noble Guard, the Guarding Fighter also triggers because it activates on successful guard. It provides him with an attack bonus, allowing for increased damage. I have him setup to not attack the first round, so he gets the guarding buff and then attacks during round 2 instead with Poison. Exception is when attacking Cavalry units, similar to your Alain setup. Lean Edge is setup to hit only if he's low on health. I just recently got that Stingray blade. If Alain can use it, I'll be swapping it with the Viper weapon. Having him first strike the lowest HP or lowest defensive enemy for 2 extra PP would allow that boost combo noted above to trigger twice.
You have some really nice build examples. Gives new players options to work towards as they unlock 2 to 3, then 3 to 4 slots in a unit. By the time they get to the quest to save Scarlett, they should have 1 squad of 4 already unlocked if I recall, maybe 2 unless they were grinding for honor.
In the start it doesn't matter much what you use. You're battling soldiers, archers, and limited magic users for the most part. Lex doesn't really shine until he's promoted and has decent abilities, otherwise he's completely indifferent from tons of generics.
@@DL-cs2cj That could be said about a few characters early on. Probably most could be benched for generics if you had the right gear and synergy setup.
You can tell which character has priority in attacking by the number over their lv on the left side. You can use this info to set up even more efficient formations like having Clive cleanup low hp% enemies after they have been weakened or attacking after being buffed.
That's just their initiative, the higher initiative character is 1, the second is 2, etc... you can check their initiative manually it's the same thing, he covered that in the video.
No one's mentioning Elf Fencer.. 😂
Yea cool but super specific to very early game, quickly irrelevant as the game progress .Mid game will force you to rethink everything ,i'm sure the cycle will repeat at end game and again at post game, if there is any
Yeah that's why its labeled as an early game set of builds lol
Nah all that you need is Jellal Auch and nothing more
I'm not a fan of copying squads or strategies since half the fun of the game for me is experimenting with what units work with what items, mishmashing everything together until it works.
Even on the final map i made little tweaks to my teams so they'd be more effective.
Am I the only one who team everyone based on their story? Like the sisters with also the person they close with on a team.. also the hero with their childhood friends.. lmao.. plus the cavalry team as well cuz fiance and friends.. 😂
