I'm going to play the first one again. More balanced than the second just lacks those nice features from EO2 (More map options, quick save, the ability to see equipment stats in shops, Gunners are cute...).

Anyway here's the dream team! My objective is to bring light to underused skills and classes! (Not enough Ronin and Dark Hunter love)

Protector
F Guard -
Okay... this isn't underused ==;

Many people use this in EO1 too but its important for my DH.

En Garde -
Only underused because people are too busy raving on with Smite and Defender. Its popular in solo Protector runs though.

Smite -
Skill points are harsh but I'll try and work my way into getting this. The Protector needs to able to hurt them random encounters.

Provoke -
Yes I know it doesn't work but if it helps out the DH slightly I'm willing to put my 5 points into it ==;

I'll max it if I can too.

Aegis -
Low priority but extra survival is nice.

Dark Hunter -
Drain -
Must for sword hunter.

Bait -
Also must. Its annoying side effect of drawing enemies attacks to the back row is
annoying though.If I'm feeling crazy enough though I could exploit it and have a back row DH draw attacks to the front row @_@

Fury -
Conflicts with Drain but also supports it as well. Crazy.

Ronin -

The only way to use a Ronin is Overhead, Midareba.

Alchemist -

Until Ronin is unlocked I'll be using this guy. Poison magic and thunder magic. I won't outright erase him though. I'll need him against Ironcrabs.

Medic -

No Immunize. That's right. Immunize is for sissies. Bring it on enemies!

Troubadour -

Bravery and Relaxing. I know Relaxing falls under the "broken" skills but when my front row lot chew through their TP like paper I feel is necessary. I regretted not using one in my last playthrough... (DH kept running out of TP spamming Bait... so annoying...)

Might try out the elemental songs if I have spare TP too. Shelter could work since its nowhere near as broken as Defender or Immunize.

123 ongoing damage for the win. Like all Alchemists he makes a stellar presentation in the early game ==;

If I had to make a LVP (Heh) it would Trouba. Doesn't do much yet... maybe I should have went for maxing Bravery first then go for Relaxing. Meh.

MVP: Dark Hunter
Enemies are starting to get more resistant to poison. Though I do have my lightning magics, my DH is doing far more damage with Drain and using much less TP. Doesn't matter though since my Alche isn't my final party anyway >_>

I do have Thor though which a great spell. But it costs a whopping 16 TP which isn't worth it since my DH can do the same amount of damage Thor does only with far less TP (Drain costs 6 TP at max level).


Now the brave party faces the 2nd strata! Not long until I unlock Ronin and finally ditch my Alche!

Moas are scary. Maybe they should have been the first boss.

Only my Dark Hunter survived against the first one but that's because Drain and Bait are THAT awesome ==;
