- Endgame levels taken as 32.
-Stats:
HP: Lose em and replay the fight.
STR: Affects physical damage. Double strength stat = double damage.
MAG: Affects magic damage/healing. Double magic stat = double damage.
SPD: Speed. Linear speed (i.e. the speed where double speed =2-1 turnsplit) is 214+SPD
DEF: Physical defense. Reduces incoming physical damage by DEF/8. [Weak stat]
MDEF: Magical defense. Reduces incoming magical damage by MDEF/8 [also a weak stat]
- MP system. Every monster starts the combat with 0 MP and genereates 1 MP every time they get an action. (so they can use a 1 MP skill on turn 1, or use 0 and then a 2 MP skill on turn 2). There are a number of gimmicks with this that I'll go over through the topic.
- Defending. The PA4 Defend command halves damage and grants a minor speed boost (~10%). It's important because a lot of PCs have skills that work with the Defend command, so it is actually a part of that PC's strategy for dealing damage, or sometimes turtling a bit. Some PCs with massive 2 MP moves may want to Defend until they get those, not caring that they are losing out on doing damage they'd be doing with 0 MP options.
-Interrupt system: If you've ever played a Grandia game and seen a move that had 'Cancel', then you know what an Interrupt is. Sets the opponent back in CT slightly, or massively (50%+) if the opponent is in the 'act' stage between 80 and 100% CT.
- Master System:
PA4 does not have human PCs, instead having only monster PCs with human 'masters'. Each monster has it's own set of passive (always-active) and active (use-in-combat) skills, and in addition the skillset of the 'master' is added on top of this. Human masters also affect stat growth through level-ups. For the purposes of this topic I have assumed that everyone stays with their default master (i.e. the master they join under).
- Equipment: Each monster has it's own equipment type and can only equip one piece of equipment: Weapon-users (axes, Swords), Magic-users (Staves, Books), Speedsters (Shoes, Knives), and Armor-users (Armors, Shields). Every weapon type, in addition to having it's stat bonuses, has a passive bonus associated with it. I am assuming storebought equipment here. These are the options:
Weapon-Users:
Johnny Stabz: STR+150, MAG+50, SPD+50, DEF+75, MDEF+75. Passive bonus: 50% speed boost on turn 1
Axiom: STR +225, SPD+20, DEF+120, MDEF+15. Passive: 50% more physical damage for one turn after defending.
Magic-Users:
Writhing Root: STR+65, MAG+130, SPD+75, DEF+50, MDEF+60. Passive Bonus: 50% more magic damage one turn after defending.
How to Kill: MAG+200, Def+75, MDEF+150. Passive Bonus: +1 MP at start of combat (NOT per round).
Speedsters:
The Bloodstraw: STR+130, SPD+130, DEF+100, MDEF+60. Passive bonus: Attack command ignores defense.
Air Morgaines: MAG+130, SPD+130, DEF+60, MDEF+100. Passive bonus: Turn comes more quickly if Defending.
Armor-Users:
Swiss-Army Shield: STR+135, DEF+190, MDEF+190. Passive bonus: Attack command interrupts enemy.
Bulwark: SPD+95, DEF+225, MDEF+225. Passive Bonus: Regenerate 20% HP whenever using the defend command.
- In addition, the cast has access to accessories. In this game, storebought accessories play a MASSIVE role in damage... elemental boosting accessories flat out double elemental damage. So I've assumed that the PCs are optimizing for damage with storebought accessory. There are no status blocking accessories. Just know that if a PC wants to swap to another element for damage, they'll want the corresponding element booster (so double the backup element damage listed and halve the primary if they have to go that route).
Here are desirable accessories:
Briquettes: Double Fire damage
Whirlgig: Double Wind damage.
Yeti Scarf: Double Water/Ice damage.
Living Gravel: Double Earth damage.
Grue Jerkey: Double Dark damage.
Elysi-yums: Double Holy damage
Strengthium Rods: +100 Str, for monsters who were just unlucky enough to not have an elemental attack (and yes this is a major weakness in-game).
-Stacking Bonuses: Bonuses of the same type stack additively, bonuses of different type stack by multiplying. For example +35% and +100% fire bonuses stack to +135% fire damage. But a +35% magic bonus and a +100% fire bonus stack by (1.35*2.00) = 2.7x, or +170%. Just good to know.
- I'm listing durabilities as higher = better. Durability is to an attack that would deal 40% damage to an average PC. Defense is a weak stat so this isn't much.
-Status affects:
Poison: Inflicts same damage that inflicted the poison whenever an enemy gets a turn. Is not fatal. Note that this does not include elemental boosts that were applied to the primary damage, if applicable.
Bleed: Same as poison, only it can be fatal.
Stun: Stunned enemies do not accumulate CT for the duration of the stun. Once it is finished the proceed as normal.
- Final Note: Self-damage can not be fatal unless specifically a suicide attack.

3-turn Damage:
Attack -> Power-Up -> Divebomb: 13362 damage, 4454 damage/turn.
Comments: Cawterize isn't very useful but could be worse. He's all about Power Up -> OHKO. Is entirely too wind-element reliant. Middle. For what it's worth that Divebomb REALLY hurts. But it's a called shot (i.e. he can't hold onto the damage boost if the enemy just defends). GRANTED if they keep doing that eventually he'll put out a boosted Pulverize and it won't really matter. Middle. In-game I'll point to Fear for randoms at endgame and Perforate for bosses.

Comments: Philsofly can pull of a few gimmicks. Infinite full regen if he does Defend -> Let's Positive Thinking. And he can use Pursue Your True Self in conjuction with Overkill/Dark Boosting accessory if he needs to go that route. As far as blitzing goes he sucks. Can't put out fatal damage till turn 3. You'll see that failure in blitzing a lot in this cast. Middle.

(Moira's Passives):

Silhouette (1 MP): Boosts user's speed 50%
3-turn damage: Attack->Gun Kata 1 -> APOCALYPSE... 18813 damage. 6271 damage/turn.
Comments: Apocalypse hurts a lot. Double overkill or so is hard to argue with. It's still leaves Coral Golem useless on turn 1, but come turn 2 he can explode things. Middle/Heavy as he's still status-bait and needs to reach that second turn. But when he does.... Boom. He probably just wants to defend turn 1 so that he can tank whatever the enemy throws his way till he puts out Apocalypse.

Passive Skills:
Kick The Machine: Boost Items 50% after defending.
Secret Stash: First Item used by Vendorr in battle does not consume that item. [You should let him use a free Moltov at the least]
Merchant : Boost item effects 50% [glitched, does not work]

Restock (0 MP): Heals 340 and removes status from Vendorr
Coin Spew (3 MP): Deals non-typed damage in proportion to how much cash you have. Cash/16.3 at L32. I don't think it's fair to assume you have lots of cash on hand. Not subject to Power-Up's bonus.

Three-turn:
Moltov -> Defend -> Soda Spray: 8278 damage. 2759 damage/turn.
Comments: Vending machine. Very unique PC. Anyways he can sit there and spam Restock until Power-Up -> Boosted Devil Knuckle for 13K+ damage, or he can just throw fire at you. Either way he's an okay Middle.
