I am glad we have items. Very glad.

Does Chris have a Water damaging skill anywhere in her arsenal, Silver?

by **Silver** Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:22 pm

No, no water damage I'm afraid; same with Clara.

by Xenosaga Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:28 pm

:I Guess you'll just have to stick with that Thunder damage. Unless you want to risk a fire spell and see if it ignites those things Tricky is juggling.

by **Silver** Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:31 pm

Oh no, I refuse to let that thing possibly get a chance to take advantage of its S-Ability. I'm fine with 30/45 Damage a turn.

by Xenosaga Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:32 pm

Dude, how much damage would it do with Fireball + S-Ability?

by **Silver** Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:37 pm

Well, if you apply the bonus before subtracting spirit (which I assume is how it works, again assume; I know assumptions are dangerous, but that is how I would do it) then:

Trinity: 13 Damage.
Kazega: 13 Damage.
Ryas: 12 Damage.
Tenkai: 13 Damage.
Clara: 3 Damage.
Chris: 8 Damage.

And don't forget it also makes basic attacks Fire Elemental. Overall it's just... not good.

by Xenosaga Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:40 pm

At least it doesn't have the ability to act twice. That would be disastrous.

by **Silver** Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:45 pm

Aye. I'm really scared of Alice at the moment. She hasn't even done anything too flashy and I'm really afraid.

by Xenosaga Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:47 pm

She'll start getting serious once we have Tricky at almost half HP, I expect.

Not looking forward to it.

by **Silver** Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:51 pm

We could pull out the big guns... but I really want to save those for Alice.

Any suggestions Masq?

by Xenosaga Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:53 pm

I think we should just take it slow and steady, getting rid of Tricky' health bit by bit until we can finish him off entirely in a single turn, allowing us to unleash the rest of our arsenal on Alice.

by **Silver** Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:59 pm

If Chris can dip into the item stock a bit, she could do a Psychokinetic Torture which I believe does 135 Damage MINIMUM to Tricky.

by **Masquerade** Mon Jun 18, 2012 7:17 pm

For one, Tricky's already Ignited himself, so if no one puts the fire out this turn, someone's gonna get hurt next turn.

Also, Tricky is a boss and is subject to Phase Change. He will no doubt pick up and extra Act action when his health gets low enough, so be prepared for that. This may also be cause to whittle away at him slowly at first and then blast him to smithereens when we get the chance.

Alice will stick with basic attacks until Tricky loses a certain amount of HP after which she will begin to try and afflict debuffs on the main attackers. Note that with Fast Play, she could possibly: Attack, Attack; Debuff, Attack; or Debuff, Debuff. When SHE starts losing HP, then that's when things start going to hell and we better buckle down and get ready.

by Xenosaga Mon Jun 18, 2012 7:19 pm

Honestly? I won't stop you if Chris wants to do it. I'm not worried too much about MP at this point since Ryas has her R-Ability and Tenkai can cause enough problems with her regular attack.

And aw man, stupid two act per turn. :I But, well, whatever.

by **Silver** Mon Jun 18, 2012 7:22 pm

With that in mind, I think she's gonna use it. Clara on the other hand, is gonna stick to basic attacks until Protect fades and then pull up another...

by Xenosaga Mon Jun 18, 2012 7:26 pm

Oh shit, I don't think any of use can hit it with a Water/Ice attack. .-.

by **Silver** Mon Jun 18, 2012 7:50 pm

Yeah... that's how it appears. And I just realized that the outburst I am writing for Clara needs to be fixed. I don't like poison.

Edit: Never mind, Regen. Duh. :P

by **Silver** Mon Jun 18, 2012 8:09 pm

Double post.

I've never seen Clara like this, I'm not sure whether to be proud or scared.

by Xenosaga Mon Jun 18, 2012 8:11 pm

No, wait Silver! You can Rainfall Splash to get rid of the fire!

by **Silver** Mon Jun 18, 2012 8:11 pm

Can I? Doesn't it have to do damage?

Edit: Huh! It doesn't say damaging! I didn't think it counted but alright. No more fire for Tricky!

by Xenosaga Mon Jun 18, 2012 8:12 pm

It just says Ice or Water, it doesn't say damage. :/

Okay, gotta get confirmation from Masq then.

by **Silver** Mon Jun 18, 2012 8:13 pm

Yeah, won't go to edit until Masq gives the okay. Plus if we get lucky then it might get wet?

Just because the attack puts out the fire doesn't mean it doesn't also do its normal stuff.

by Zerifachias Mon Jun 18, 2012 8:14 pm

Character on fire?

Douse them with water?

Fire goes night-night.

I don't think Masq gives two shits if it does damage or not.

by Xenosaga Mon Jun 18, 2012 8:18 pm

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. :/

Man, I should have left Ryas' Water Spell Range at 5.
