Arc the Lad 2:
- Redoing this topic with some more well-known mechanics now.
-Levels taken around 100. A little higher or lower for some depending on initial EXP and what their level-rate is (e.g. Elc/Poco/Lieza level fast, Gogen levels slow).
- I'll be including the non-human PCs because they are PCs in every sense including equippable armor. The exception is Paundit, who can't equip armor and probably wants a form that no one would recognize as being Paundit (he'd rather be an Undead Werewolf...)
- Stats:
HP: Lose em and all of humanity dies instead of just ALMOST all of humanity.
MP: USed for special abilities of all types, physical/magical/non-typed.
Atk: Physical attack power. Used for basic physical attacks and specials
Def: Defense stat. Used to reduce damae from basic physicals and physical special attacks (this is done in different ways though)
Mag: Magic stat. Increases damage and healing done with magic, and can reduce incoming magic damage.
Agility: Stat for determining turn-order. No doubles are possible and all actions are decied when the turn actually comes up, so this is only good for initiative. While AtL2 is an SRPG, almost all fights have enemies 'in-range' turn 1 so this does matter.
Physical Durability: How good a PC is at taking physical damage. 200% = PC can take twice as much physical damage as an average PC. This includes HP.
Magical Durability: Same as above but for magic. Higher = better.
Evade rate: Chance to fully evade a physical attack.
Block rate: Chance to reduce an incoming physical attack to 10% damage.
Accuracy: Chance to NOT be evaded.
Precision: Chance that an enemy does NOT block (reduce damage to 10%)
-Note that stats do in fact have hidden fractional parts (i.e. agility can be '21.4') and these fractional parts do matter. I'll be listing them.
-Some PC's can 'Charge' their physical. Using a Charge skill gives +1 Charge to the Charge gauge, which goes up to 7. Charge level effect on basic physical attack damage goes as 1.75x/2x/2.25x/2.5x/4x/4.5x/6x. A physical attack after Charge ignores Evade (but not Blocking). Counterattacks do not use the Charge (or get it's benefits).
-Some mechanics information for the curious:
1. Basic attack damage.
Base: (Atk Stat / 2 + (Tech_Level * Innate Atk/16) ) * 1.25
Additional: Atk Stat * 1.5 + (Tech_Level * Innate Atk * 3/16) – Def*1.5
Where Tech_Level is a number from 0-7, and the chance of each depends on weapon skill. At weapon level 13, the average is ~2.5
Innate Attack is the attack stat without equipment on.
Base damage is ITD, but enemy def can zero out the 'additional damage' part.
2. Magical Special attack.
Magic X 2.395 X Move Mult (Usually 1) x (1 + MP_used/100) x Defense Mult * 0.5
Where Defense Mult is:
100% + (Attacker's Mag – Defender's Mag) * 2.5% . Value Min/Max is 50%/150%
3. Physical Special attack:
Attack X 2.395 X Move Mult (Usually 1) x (1 + MP_used/100) x Defense Mult * 0.5
Where Defense Mult is:
100% + (Attacker's Mag – Defender's Defense) * 2.5% . Value Min/Max is 50%/150%
Yes, physical specials are comparing Attacker Mag to Defender Def.
4. Physical attack accuracy.
-Chance to Dodge an attack is Base Rate + (Defender_Level - Attacker_Level)/2.
-Chance to Block an attack (1/10th damage) is Base Rate + (Defender_Level - Attacker_Level)/2.
- Base rates vary from PC to PC.
5. Status accuracy.
-Chance to inflict status = Base Rate + (Attacker_Level - Defender_Level).
Base rate is determined only by the type of status it is, not by any other factors.
6. Status duration.
-Status duration for abilites is determined by the level of the ability used. Level 2 gets +1 turn duration, Level 3 gets +2 turns duration. Durations will be listed.
7. - 'Divide' skill notes: The Divide skill is special in that it drains a percentage of the target's CHP to the user, or the user's Mag*1.25, whichever is greater. The kicker is that it works on bosses, and the % of CHP is based on the target's Magic stat relative to the user's. It does 26%, 52%, 77%, or 100% when the Atk Mag > Def Mag by a factor of 1, 2, 3, and 4. I'll explain what this means for the 3 PCs with the spell, but basically one would need a lot of Mdef to reduce the base (26%) draining, but it takes nary a peep of below average Mdef to start losing 52% of your health to the spell per casting.
-Elemental Resistances. Every PC has a 20% resistance to their own innate element. There is no corresponding innate weakness to an opposing element!
-Jump/Counter/Catch/Throw: All PCs counter basic physicals with their own. But these counters do not benefit from Charge.
-Equipment: Allowed storebought equipment at maximum levels. This seems fair enough. Allowing L13 for weapon proficiency levels. No smithing on extra abilities as that can be headachy as to what is optimal. Not allowing the PCs to equip magic apples (+75% physical damage...) because honestly that is so obscure as to be comical. Allowing a 21 Def armor for both men and women (Slayer Suit for men, Illusion Robe +0 for women). There is a slightly better one for men but it is considerably costlier in my estimation. I'm not allowing any rare drops, as they are just the right combination of annoyingly hard to get, obscure, and something everyone wants something from.
- Status resistance: Every PC can equip a Cure-All (storebought healing item) that has 1 def and grants status (but not Instant Death) immunity. I'll list what this does to physical durablity when it is opted for. It's worth noting that equipment can be changed on the PC's turn as a free action, which may impact how this could be used.
- As far as 'innate' status/ID resistance goes, it varies with Level. I'll list how much they add/subtract from incoming status rates. Add this to their "Status Type" which describes their innate status resistances/weaknesses.
-Add-On Skills: Allowing the Mother Claire add-on skills. They are available throughout the game and each PC has their own unique lists. Note that only two skills are possible at any one time, but they can be swapped up. I'll underline what I think ought be default. Also note that I am only allowing the "base" levels of these skills... so if they come at L2, I don't allow the PC the L3 version.
-Dieckbeck: I'm including the optional robot Dieckbeck, with the best of his power units that are gotten from the Sealed Ruins... but not the one gotten from the Undersea Shrine. It is difficult to trigger the event that unlocks this. I've played the game several times (insert snide comments here) and only gotten the thing to trigger once. He is still pretty decent without it.
-Status notes:
1. Invincible: PC is immune to damage, status, weapon-breaking, and anything else you might think of, including positive things like healing and buffing. Since AtL2 doesn't have a proper Dispel, there is no testing that against it directly.
2. Magic Shield: Cancel one incoming special (either physical/magic, good or bad).
3. Poison: Does random damage between 0-10% of max HP/turn. Reduces Atk/Def by 15%
4.Paralysis: Can't take action. Can't dodge. Can't evade.
5. Confusion: Just move around in a random direction on your turn. No attacking or specials possible. Counters still happen.
6. Sleep: No action/evade/block possible. Wake upon taking damage.
7. Silence: Special abilities can't be used (whether physical/magical/untyped).
8. Petrify: No actions possible for the duration of Petrify. Defense x1.5.
9. Stat buffs: +25% of the base stat. Agility is +50%, but can only serve to shift turn order and can't grant doubles, so usually worthless in a 1v1 fight.
10. Stat debuffs: -25% of the base stat. Agility is -50%, but can only serve to shift turn order and can't grant doubles.
11. Weak Enemy: The contribution of levels to stats is reduced to 1/4th. This does not affect level's contribution to accuracy/evade/status resistance. It does tank stats (especially offensive stats) to laughable levels. It also nerfs Agility, which has the useful feature of allowing the Weak-Enemy inflicter to 'lap' the inflictee right after applying it (but if it wears off, the inflictee will then 'lap' the inflicter before it can be re-applied, so the inflicter would want to re-apply it while it was still active).

PDur opting for Cure-All:

(Cure All + Brave Crest): 63.8%
Comments: Arc catches a break in getting Invincible and the Brave Crest, letting him put out some good damage with impunity (~751 average physical damage, but only ~395 magic damage...). He also has the "Weak Enemy" Spell, which is a nice always-works way to completely trash enemy stats on non-bosses. See the Weak Enemy stat entry for details on the 'turn lapping' dynamic, but know that it is NOT a good idea to let Arc put out Weak Enemy unless you bring Instant Death to bear on him. Even if Arc is opting for a Cure-All, he'll still mock physical damage if the target has Weak-Enemy. Arc can heal for a long time while countering physical attacks, and he has a tiny bit of status resistance. His durability and speed are lacking, which is his major flaw considering the skillset puts him so high up in ranking. Heavy/Godlike

Buffed Notes:
Might MInd: Magic Damage x1.3, Mdur up to 167.7%
PDur opting for Cure-All:
(Armor+Cure All): 64.7% Pdur
(Cure All + Music Book): 52.6% Pdur
Without the Music Book, Poco's magic damage is 90%, Mdur down to 132.9% (1.19/1.6 Might Mind)
Comments: Poco is pretty solid. Has good 2HKO damage, can buff that damage up along with his magic durability, has healing and MP busting. His physical attack is actually okay, which works well with the counter game. His big obvious flaw is the bad physical durability. He'll often just be heal-locked by a physical until something goes awry for him. But the counters and healing might make that work in his favor, as well as a chance to block/evade. Note that the Panic Wave can NOT inflict confusion on counters. A decent high Middle.

Comments:
TOSH SMASH. His first turn damage is OHKO-level and ITE... albeit if he spams this he's going to be Blocked fairly quickly. If he sees a turn and he doesn't OHKO a target he'll want to use Monji Slash to inflict Weak-Enemy, nerfing the target's stats in a most brutal way. To add insult to injury, Tosh accumulates an extra level of Charge when he does this. This means when Tosh uses Monji Slash he's likely to follow it up with a horrifying 521 physical damage... which unfortunately is fire elemental. But if Tosh does land Weak Enemy he can rejoice in the fact that Swing becomes a solid enough 2HKO and the enemy probably won't be landing much damage at that point. His stat-down and paralysis aren't all that promising since anything vulnerable to them will be hit by Weak-Enemy. But perhaps his Weapon-Breaking could find some use. OHKO damage and Weak-Enemy is his bread-and-butter strategy however. It's a good one, as long as he doesn't have to deal with decent magic damage. Heavy

Comments:
Shingan-Ho -> Amaidar fist, smoke a blunt until victory. It's worth noting that obnoxious as it is, Shingan-Ho is a separate status from Paralysis that does not care about resistance (and presumably immunity) to it. When Iga faces a boss, he has decent durability and Cure to fall back on, along with his counters. Amaidar Fist is a cool pressure move for those who immune Shingan-Ho but not all status, which may or may not be common. Heavy regardless. Having a perfect matchwinning status and no particular durability holes leaves you with nothing less.

Comments
Gogen has decent damage. And he's old. And slow. And very physically frail. Those last two are not a good combination for someone with no decent tricks. Light and not a good one. I suppose if he faces someone with limited resources he could use Magic Shield a lot to prevent them from using specials but he'd still be a sitting duck to basic physical attacks, which would likely shred him.

Comments:
Elc has excellent durability and speed. He also has an assortment of abilities that stack up very nicely. Invincible is obviously a big deal, as Elc can cast it 9 times and thus put out ~1200 damage under Invincible. Alternatively 704 fire magic damage, or 880 evade-ignoring non-elemental physical damage. These are pretty decent numbers for damage under Invincible. Beyond that he has Divide for some gravity draining that works on bosses. Might Mind works nicely to improve his damage and magic durability, and the Magic Canceller brings his durability up to boss-caliber levels against special attacks. Charge and Mind Buster let him work around most healers. Not overwhelming in any one area but taken altogether the package is quite solid. Godlike

Lieza is a frail healer. She has some options such as healing and relying on counters to build damage, trying to use Distract Range to keep melee types in place, and inflicting Atk-Down to become a lot tankier. She has a turn 2 paralysis spell but that isn't likely to see too much use. She makes a decent enough Middle.

A status immune infinite healer. That's a good byline but unfortunately Shante doesn't have stats to back it up. Her durability is very poor, so she'll frequently be heal locked... but it's not like she has to worry about running out of resources, and she has counters... Her own status doesn't have a high rate of infliction unfortunately. She makes for a decent enough Middle.

Comments
Shu is a physical tank with a great evade stat and decent first turn speed... unfortunately he backs this up with pathetically anemic damage. So anemic that he is better off using Time Bomb's effective 4HKO for offense. Two Time Bombs gives a dead enemy. Against the slightly physically frail, he may want to go for an L2 Time Bomb -> Charge -> KO with a 153 damage physical. The chance of a target blocking (even though they can't evade) means he can't rely on his own evasion as much with this strategy. But this is a turn 3 KO strategy that doesn't pass muster on average durability foes. Shu may also want to say "Screw it" and go with a Time Bomb 2 -> TIme Bomb 1 attempt, hoping that the enemy doesn't do half his life in the process. This isn't that bad against physically reliant enemies, since he has that evade and can cast Power Down to augment his chances. He's in a bad situation should he face down a halfway decent mage though. Light/Middle? Very unique style of fighting a duel.

Comments:
It's a pity for the best PC in the game to be so unimpressive. She is slow and frail, so she'll want to Divide and hope she can last to a KO. This might work if the enemy doesn't have a lot of damage, and Sania has a nasty surprise for anyone with subpar Mdef (52% draining via Divide). If she does go first she cuold use a trick in the form of a status wind or X-Cryte to give her an advantage. But the speed and physical durability are just really bad. Light/Middle.

Comments
Gruga looks like a manly man who hits things. And that's pretty much what he would be except his last Add-On skill (Level 96...) is Invincible. That lets him put out 5 physicals free from enemy smiting. Lacking that, he is a slow but physically durable character who can effectively snag a low 2HKO via Charge -> Attack for 376 damage that is ITE... but trying to do this more than once will likely see Gruga get Blocked, so he'd want to make it count vs. Healers (Strike Power can help put the damage higher for undamaging durable healers). Invincible and Confusion could see some use together perhaps, and the chance of it hitting may help his odds of winning since probability features into his damage so strongly. The unimpressive magic durabiltiy is a gaping whole against mages, but an Invincible string and the Charge -> KO along with the physical durability secure him a spot in Heavy.

Kelak is pretty decent. Healing, buffing/debuffing, some status (Silence), nonfail speed.. But he lacks durability and damage that isn't resource-intensive. he doesn't have a way to handle his own poor physical durability, but counters mean he isn't hopeless in a heal-lock situation. Makes a passable Middle.

Mofly is a lot like Kelak statwise, only slower and with no way to heal. His best bet is to throw out Confusions and hope that it lands, giving him 3 free turns to finish the enemy (With plenty of confusion re-apply chances in there too. Where Confuison is negated, he'll want to try for Sleep Wind. He can play in Middle.

Hemoji's goal in a duel is to turn his foe into a Hemo-Ji and hope he can kill in that time. He really has nothing worthwhile to back him up... his damage is lacklustre and he has no other way to stop foes. His own decent physical durability probably will help though, and (bad) physicals are all the target can do when he turns them.

Well, trying to inflict Attack Down may not be a bad strategy. Or Paralysis, for all that it only buys him 2 turns... Raijin is an even sadder Light than his bro.

Choko's entire MO is "Kill things with magic". That's the whole of the ballgame. She benefits more than anyone else from transferring data from AtL1 (assuming you found her), as her base stats shoot through the roof and she ends up looking amazing. AtL2-only Choko is... very unimpressive relative to that. Still, solid magic damage and decent magic durability along with speed that doesn't suck are a good combo. The physical durability is attrocious and will frequently lead her to be 2HKO'd with physicals, but she can 2HKO with magic damage so it'd be a race to see who does it first. Middle works well enough.

Comments
Dieckbeck prays he can kill with holy magic damage before he has to let down Invincible and let that shiny +100% status weakness show. He can also try to whore out some Dark magic damage, although at the cost of speed. If Dieckbeck faces a healer with status he may as well throw in the towel. If Diecbeck faces a boss that can tank his ~712 of holy magic damage under Invincible, he's probably in a bad spot. His good durability is a selling point, but with that horrifically glaring status weakness, it's usually a very very bad idea to let Invincible lapse to try and take advantage of it. Heavy? He crashes and burns hard but Invincible and the speed work together to roll non-healers well enough.
