Lufia 2- Redone

[superaielman]

This was well past due. I've generally complied as complete a set of notes as possible on the game and it's PC's. Many thanks goes to Reli and the Lufia 2 board for their extensive mechanics breakdown provided in the FAQs and topic archives.  Endgame is Level 58.

IP notes.

PC's gain 1 IP point per 2% of damage done above 50% IP.. at least at first. The rate spikes the lower your HP is.

Key figures:

25% HP lost- 13% IP
50% HP lost- 26% IP
65% HP lost- 42% IP
75% HP lost- 57% IP
85% HP lost- 90% IP
90% HP lost- 100% IP


IP gain rate spikes massively at lower HP- if you knock a L2 PC from 20% to 5% HP, they gain 40%~ IP in one shot. Accessing the higher end IPs is thus extremely tricky without some form of healing. The closer you cut it to death, the more it matters- If you say deal 95% of Maxim's life in one shot, you're going to more or less give him a full IP bar.

Damage/IPs

Dual Blade: 300 damage, Holy elemental. 10% chance of critical hits.[/u]
Dual Blade critical hits: 700/1000/1100/1150 damage, ITD.
Zirco Sword: 295. Firestorm does 430 MT fire damage.
Dragon Blade: 330/500/600 damage. NOTE: This boost is from Berserker. Crit: 1200 damage, 25% chance.
Silver Sword: 250, Holy elemental
Holy Energy: 820/1150/1300/1400 damage, Holy elemental
Mist Rapier: 220 damage.
Dual Blade, Wave Motion: 450/560/630 damage, Holy elemental. Crit damage is listed above.


Notes: About what you'd expect. Heavy/Godlike if he's allowed healing- no real flaws in his durability, his only drawback is that he's a bit slow and his damage out of the gate isn't very impressive. If you (extremely) quickly double him or score a OHKO, you lose.  Wishes he could access the 3x IPs and keep Wave Motion though- Holy isn't a hard element to wall and walling it forces him go go with the Mist Rapier for offense. Without? Middle/Heavy. He becomes a remixed Guy this way, except he has more and better limit options to play with. Superior status blocking helps as well.

Guy:



564 HP
0 MP

738 Attack
508 Defense
105 Agility (-1 SD)
80 MGR

Default Equips:

Zirco Axe: IP: Torrent. MT water elemental attack, takes 88% of Guy's IP bar.

Zirco Shield: IP: Berserker. Boosts attack 40%/20%/10%, takes 26% of Guy's IP bar.

Status blocking options:

Poison: Old Armor, Crystal Mail
Paralyze: Old Armor
Confusion: Old Helmet


Equip Options:

Flying Axe: -224 attack, Flying elemental. IP: Deadly Smash. 3x damage, takes 65% of Guy's IP Bar.
Crystal Mail: -30 defense, -20 attack. IP: Sudden Cure. 50% healing, MT. Takes 38% of Guy's IP bar.

** Gotten from the Forefit island casino. It's also really fucking expensive, costing 500k coins (or 5 million) in chips. I certainly don't allow it, but it's worth noting.

Damages/IPs

Zirco Ax: 350/500/620 damage.[/u]
Flying Ax: 220/310/440 damage.
Deadly Smash: 770/1050/1250/1350 damage, Flying elemental. -20 damage if Guy isn't using Old Armor.
Torrent: 520, MT. Berserker does not boost this.

Notes: Middle. Guy's a pretty typical low middle slugger until you look at his IPs. They give him a deadly limit range and the situational healing of the tough hide keeps him afloat against mages. Even though he's lucky that MGR doesn't affect status, he still can't really handle most status attackers thanks to that awful speed and 3HKO damage. A jack of all trades, which is definitely odd for a fighter. He may be higher up in the division, he's definitely a fighter I would have to see in practice. The fighting style's different enough, that's for sure.

Thundershriek: 330 damage, Thunder elemental, MT. Berserker does not boost this.


Notes: Heavy. She is Artea lite- her defense is more exploitable for one, and she's not as fast or good in general. But.. too many IPs, too many ways to win. The lack of magical damage is a problem though. Otherwise, she can block status, heal, and fire off status pretty well. Well rounded PC, and very lucky that she gets most of the L2 female equips.

Artea:



HP: 454
MP: 408

Attack: 496
Defense: 489

*All of the Bunny equipment is gained from the casino.

Spells:

Champion: Restores 1126 HP (Full), 16 MP
Valor: Restores 2000 HP/Revives one target (Full), 30 MP
Thunder: 290 damage, Thunder elemental, 24 MP
Dragon: 240 damage, Water elemental, 22 MP
Firebird: 240 damage, Fire elemental, 20 MP
Ice Valk: 250 damage, Ice elemental, 22 MP
Zap: 350 damage, Holy elemental, 30 MP

Damage/IPs:

Mist Rapier: 210
Zap: 350/400/430 damage, Holy elemental[/u]
Thunder: 290 damage, Thunder elemental, 24 MP
Dragon: 240 damage, Water elemental, 22 MP
Firebird: 240 damage, Fire elemental, 20 MP
Ice Valk: 250 damage, Ice elemental, 22 MP
Holy Energy: 720/100/1150/1250 damage, Holy elemental. Takes 65% of Artea's IP bar.
Aqua Attack: 720/1000/1150/1250 damage, Water elemental Takes 65% of Artea's IP bar.


Notes: Heavy/Godlike. The options, they burn. Artea's strategy in a duel boils down to outlasting his foe- Even with his superior speed he's rarely going to finish off a decent heavy with Zap, instead blasting away with one of his 3x damage IPs. He's got a few key status resists, though those hurt his defense.. mm. He's a hard foe in general to handle because you really have to OHKO him or status him out, and neither's easy at all. Can literally fight forever thanks to Silver Mail/Bunny Suit and has tons and tons and tons of MP otherwise. Think he ends up worse than Maxim if spells are allowed and is a cut above the bosses either way.

[superaielman]

Tia notes! Average level is 23 at this point, enemies tested on is the Goblin Mage, which you fight around Bound Castle. I grabbed notes for all five PCs you control around this time. I personally go by the Guy/Tia/Maxim/Selan average, since she's never in the party with Dekar.. on the other hand, ignoring Guy (Who's in the team with her in the last real duengon she's in) rubs me the wrong way. I also gave Selan the Cold Rapier (Maxim has no use for this), and Tia the Aqua Whip (Selan has no use for this) in the topic.



Tia:

114 HP
162 MP

110 Attack
152 defense
90 Agility (+1.20 SD)
87 Int

Toga: (No IP)
Tough Gloves: (No IP)
Cloche: (No IP)
Glass Ring: IP: Confuse. Takes 13% of Tia's IP bar.

Status blockers:

Seethru cape: Blocks everything but ID. In Lufia 2's case, this is Paralyze, Poison, confuse, Silence, and Sleep.

Equipment options:

Seethru cape, Armor: -39 Defense, gives immunity to all status attacks in Lufia 2 but not ID. IP: Miracle. Full HP/MP restoration. Takes 100% of Tia's IP bar.
Mini Shield, Shield: -8 defense. IP: Battle Lust. Attack boost. 40%, 20%, nothing. Takes 13% of Tia's IP bar.
Bracelet, Shield: -4 defense. IP: Ironclad. 40% boost to defense, then a 20% boost, then 10%, then 5%. Takes 13% of Tia's IP bar.
Beret, Helmet: -23 defense. IP: Sluggish. Lowers enemy speed. 25%, 12.5%, 6.5%, then nothing. Takes 51% of Tia's IP bar.
Headband, Helmet   -16 defense, +2 MGR. IP: Forgetful. Lowers enemy INT by 25%, then 12.5%, then 6.5%. then nothing. Takes 51% of Tia's IP bar.
Red Beret, Helmet -10 defense. IP: Spellstruck. Lowers enemy MGR by 25%, then 12.5%, then 6.5%, then nothing. Takes 51% of Tia's IP Bar.

For damage: The first number listed is the damage done with zero uses of Berserker, the first is with one use of Berserker, the third is with two uses of Berseker. Tia's attack is so low that the third use and onward has no notable effect.

Spells:

Drowsy: 55% chance of sleep. Lasts two enemy turns on average. Damage has a 50% chance of breaking the sleep state, 3 MP
Strong: 107 HP restored, 3 MP

Damage/IPs:

Attack: 35, 50, 65 damage. Water elemental.
Spark: 62 damage, fire elemental. Takes 3 MP
Confuse: 50% hit rate. Target has a 50/50 chance of using a normal physical attack on himself or his enemy. Takes 13% of Tia's IP bar.
Aqua Attack: 135 damage, 200 damage, 250 damage. Water elemental, takes 65% of Tia's IP.

Comments: Quirky fighter. She has good speed, status immunity as an option, nearly full healing, and a few useful limits. Problem? That HP really sucks if you count Guy/Dekar against her at all, and her damage is easily walled and not all that great anyway. Probably a Light/Middle in spite of that, she has options in pretty much every fight she isn't outright OHKOed in.. and that shouldn't happen that often until she hits Middle.

---------------------------------


Dekar averages! Level taken is L30. Unlike Tia the party and what to scale against is pretty clear. Testing against Lions, they're pretty much average across the board. Dekar has no IPs that are worth mentioning on his weaker equips. EDIT: Whelp, I was wrong on that one. Edited in Gladius/Tough Hide notes.



Dekar

Rock Helmet: IP is useless.

Damage is under 0 uses of Berserker, then 1/2/3 uses of Berserker.

Attack: 280, 400, 500, 540 damage.
Gladius: 135/180 damage. Holy Energy:  450/610 damage, Holy Elemental


Notes: Mmhmm. About what you'd expect. Annoyingly hard to kill, has a solid 2HKO and thanks god that he is only average against status and isn't as slow as he would be at endgame. On the other hand, he's still very one dimensional- and being that slow and relying on healing is never a good thing. High Middle.

Notes: EXP takes a big jump after Dekar leaves the party, and you get to go through a couple of areas with a lot of fights. They also have cores around this point in the game.. mm. I ended up counting in the equips for Barnan into the average here. You techinically do not have to go there, but.. avoiding it takes some work and it's only an extra equipment upgrade. It hurts Lexis a touch, but eh. Doesn't feel unreasonable. Anyway, I'm at level 39 at this point, testing on Wheel Eels that you fight around the Mountain of No Return.

Notes: Holy crap. I had no idea that a storebought weapon from around the time Tia leaves would seriously be abusive, but.. well, see above. Too bad he can't use the Mist Rapier, Aqua Attack after a few uses of Berseker would be near 1000 damage. Ah well. Anyway, Lexis is unsurprisingly better scaled to the time. He has a few good equip options, mostly in the Slash Shield and Gladius. His status attacks are more or less death- sine he can reapply them every round at a 100% rate and they do damage at the same time. Magic gives him some ability to handle physical tanks, and Silver Mail lets him heal his MP in case someone actually makes a dent in his resources. Just.. weird fighter, but a good one. His problems with status attackers and really good blitzers keeps him from being any kind of notable Heavy, but he definitely deserves an upgrade. Low Heavy.

[Grefter]

Super asked me to port these over for some reason.  I don't know why I am kind of shakey on their accuracy these days because it has been nearly 3 years since I did this stuff.  Copying posts in their entirety.

All classes have a % chance to evade based on their Agl - attacker Agl/Gusto's Agl according to Heavy Arms' odds and ends FAQ, pretty trustworthy since technical stuff is most likely found out by Relinqshed who is reliable (Edit - Note, this evasion even evades attack spells, unsure about status, but only thing to test it with is ID anyway, and enemy ID spells suck). Will list evade % against average Agl since party Agl average reflects pretty much in game enemy average to *Shrug* Lufia 2 is pretty good like that. Damage figures will be taken against Red Jellies and Lizards, I will "There abouts" them, Lufia 2 attacks aren't TO variable, so no biggy.. (at a later time, wow, I am full of shit, these things are all over the everywhere. Done my best with seems to be average and "kind of fits the formula as well")

Edit even more - Alright, note on the damages listed. Testing with Guy having similar ATP to his DL legal form listed here (3 less ATP, minor difference) Guy dealth 350 damage against the enemies I test on as opposed to 310 listed DL damage. How you interpret this is up to you.

Edit out old junk - Alright, that was babble about Formulas. I will list what I came up with here.

Base attack is Atp/2 already knew that one, moves have a multiplier that is tacked onto this.
Magic is Int * 5/8 (or .625 if you prefer) then multiplied by the moves multiplier (Most often 2 or 4. A couple of 6's and 8's also which are damned strong)
For the multipliers check heavy arms' Odds and Ends FAQ over at Gamefaqs

Odd thing, Electrobolt was listed first while Air Attack was not on the list, yet Gusto would not use Electrobolt and could use Air Attack, later it learnt Air Attack and started to be able to use Electrobolt. Odd, pretty sure the level up screen showed it correctly, just the status screen has them mixed up. Damage also seemed to fluctuate way more than normal on this guy O_o made damage rather guesstimated, picked the middle ground damages.

Alright, all these guys are getting seperate posts, they just have to much shit to list to do it all at once comfortably. Original stuff about damage holds true over all monsters, Gusto and Darbi are the only ones with Evasion to worry about (and Darbi's sucks anyway cause his AGL kinda sucks to much).

Hmmmm, the fish mostly sucks until that last form, which is a pretty good dueller, absolutely killer if you give it AI. Below average HP, horrid DFP again, but very solid MGR, massive damage and silence to go on top of that good MGR. Pity you get it so late in game, it is so ugly and all of its other forms suck (though you can pretty easilly have it at M class as soon as you get it). Still, considering how it looks it is something I am glad is not ranked.

Light is an odd one. It would be freaking crazy in game if it would only use its attacks. Good damage, even more insane than Wind surprisingly to me. In game, Unicorn is mostly ST damage outside of Dash, but that just means he is even more specialized at hammering the Sinistrals, Twinkle is the only one of the lot with an uber MT attack. Above average AGL, solid amount of healing for its HP (is pretty low against average HP), but it has really low HP. Probably the only CM so far that really wants to form choose depending on things. If you give it AI then Twinkle rocks, hard. If not then it wants Unicorn so it actually has a chance to do something more than 1/4 of the time. Easilly the CM that improves the most over its forms, yet strangely levels out at Class 4 and trades some of its standard moves in for something different at Class 5.

I think I noted it in Tia's stuff, but usually two rounds on average. Silence and stat buffs, far as I could gather, last for the fight.

EDIT: And done with the topic. Durabilities are edited in (Including for key alternate equips), SDs are in.. I think that just about covers it. If there's anything else needed, poke me.

This topic is for the endgame forms of the sinistrals. No full blown boss topic.

My endgame party is level 56.  Here are PCHP figures.
Guy: 550
Maxim: 459
Artea: 419
Selan: 363
Average: 448

And PC speed figures.
Artea: 180
Selan: 144
Guy: 138 (Rocket Ring)
Maxim: 120
Average: 146

Their best spammable damages, as tested against Sphinxes which have average defenses by enemy standards and are neutral to all elements, are as follows:

Selan's Thunder: 380
Artea's Zap: 350
Guy's attack: 300
Maxim's Thunder: 270 (beats his front row physical by 10, for the curious)
Average: 325

Selan's basic physical does 170, Maxim's 260. This is notable because both can fire off a physical IP with a 3x mult. This eats most of their gauge. Artea, who physicals for 210, and Guy, have something like 2x IPs that are cheaper than what Maxim and Selan use. I find that often, against Sinistrals, thge cheap IPs can go every other turn, the 3xs every 3 or so, maybe a bit more common than that. Interpret that how you will. I have no magic IPs.

These figures are influenced by accessories and stat boosters, and as such should in no way be used to judge DL legal damage, but I assume holding enemies against those for DL scaling purposes is fine.

In-game bosses also face capsule monsters. You lose nothing if they die and their damage is hell to interpret. I'm ignoring them totally. (Factoring them in would probably make them look better, since even M forms < humans)

Now for the bosses themselves. I'll list 2 damage figures: one assuming full focus credit, one assuming totally unfocused. All focuses are taken against Artea. If you give partial focus credit, take an average or some shit.

Boss defense figures are now listed in terms of %damage taken. Lower is better, of course.

Chaos Wave: 47, physical, ~30% confusion rate. L2 confusion is dispelled by being physically hit, but not magically hit, has fail duration, and causes the confused characters to physically attack random targets. The victim is a viable target. Does not focus.

Dark Reflector: Reflects an attack. The damage taken by the attacker is based off of the attacker's elemental affinites, but Daos's defenses. Only works on one hit of a multihit attack. Positive spells go through it. Does not wear off until attacked. Does not stack.
