Tales of Eternia

[Dhyerwolf]

This is the beginning frame of the Tales of Eternia topic. I'm at level 65. First off, some notes. The damage lists here don't take combos into effect. Do whatever you think is fair. Secondly, there are some iffy equips. These have an * next to them.

Also, note that some techs don't fully reach their maximum number of hits in normal situations. I denoted these with (# hits)

Storebought Status Blockers:
Freeze Charm- Freeze is a nasty version of sleep where you're awoken by damage, but take 50% of your max HP
Stun Charm- Prevents Paralysis
Poison Charm- Annuls Poison and TP Poison. This could be construed as prevented TP damage.

Speed Interpretation: To Come

Now onto the meat

Boss Info. Rassius and Shizel (when she comes) will be at top, since they are the DL relevant duellers.

Rassius Luine

HP: 4400 (Le Crap)
Def: 700 (350 Functionally) (Leh Not Crap)
Intelligence: 100
70% Resistance to Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth, 72% physical resistance

Notes: Average defense (Rassius included) around this time is 366 (188 effectively). This means Rassius takes about 115 to a physical attack while surrounding monsters take 277 (about a 60% reduction). Average Mdef at this time is about 43.29 (Yes, it dropped).

Average Party HP: 1570
Relevant Duelling Techs
Dragon Flash: 625. Yes. Rassius has damage that doesn’t suck
Dragon Swarm: 500.

My Damage Against Him
Reid- 250 (1400)
Farah-60 (750)
Meredy- 300 (Ice Needles)
Keele- 400 (Air Thrust) (Note that in reality, this will likely do about 200 average) (1200/600)
Average: 252 (250- Man, he’d really trade his tankiness for HP) (900/750)
(The higher numbers in parenthesis are what I'd guess to be the average damage against randoms)

Evaluation: Rassius has several things going for him. First, he's a physical tank. His Defense is noticably high, and on top of that, he greatly resists physical. Also, he has some nice elemental resists.

The bad part? His HP. It's rather low. In game, this isn't an issue at all as their isn't any real way to get around his defenses. It makes his HP hard to peg.On the damage side, it's average and all physical. And yes, Dragon Flash does hit for that much.Overall, a weird Middle.

SHIZEL

Form 1
120,000 HP
0 Defense (0 Functionally!), 112 MDef
(Takes 25% more from physical damage. Average defense really hasn't risen much all game. Unsure on the MDef, but given that the average in the dungeon is 40, it's pretty solid).
10% Elemental Resistance to Ice, Fire, Wind, Water, Thunder, and Earth

Average Party HP: 4334 (I had to level a bit to get to 65, so I used my non-slightly overlevelled characters here. Tended to put HP boosting on the ones with low HP)
Eternal Finality- 6 hits of 1999 Dark Damage, can't kill
Indignation- 1800 Lightning Magic
Summon Demon- 1200 Dark Magic
Magic Orb- 438 ITD Physical

Form 2
300,000 HP
300 Defense (150 Functionally), 150 Mdef
(Takes 10% extra from physicals, and still has very good Mdef)
40% Elemental Resistance to Ice, Fire, Wind, Water, Thunder, Earth, and Holy. 30% Resistance to Dark

Average Party HP: 4334
Eternal Finality- 6 hits of 1999 Dark Damage, can't kill
Holy Lance- 2500 Holy Magic, 800 of it is ITD
Summon Pluto- 1600 Dark Magic (Headache. This is an estimage, but there are so many animations to the spell that it might be more); only usuable below 50% HP
Physical Related Moves- 500
Wind Blade- 300 Wind Magic (Only has a point if you let her chain magic like in game. Then it can be cast at basically the same time as Holy Lance).

Evaluation: Form 1 isn't hot at all. Near PCish HP, with HP->1. Hopes the enemy isn't a faster 2HKOer, but still likely a low Heavy. Form 2 is much improved, since it has 2.5 the HP, and notably better elemental resists. Damage is now a 2HKO, although not as good as I thought it would be. Still, the HP, damage, and HP->1 are enough for a low Godlike.

UNDINE
HP: 6800
Def: 268 (134 functionally)
Intelligence: 50
Water reststence 100%
Wind, Fire, Earth, Ice resistence 30%
Lightning weakness 30%

Notes: Average defense around that time is 146 (73 functionally). This means Undine takes about
Her Mdef is 50 to an average of 41.8. But Mdef mults are weird, so I don’t know exactly what that translates into.

Average Party HP:  832
Relevant Duelling Techs
Aqua Edge- 290 Water Magic (145x2)
Physical- 60

My damage against her
Demon Lightning Hammer- 320
Fireball- 270
Ice Daggers- 240
Farah- About 150 (Crappy mults, not all that great Att)
Average: 245

Evaluation: Damage is only average, and if someone blocks Water, she's fairly screwed. On the other hand, she does have a nice amount of HP. Middle/Heavy.

SYLPH
HP: 6600 (Note that he comes with 2 Arms, each with 4500 HP)
Def: 200 (100 effective)
Intelligence: 80
He can teleport away in the middle of an attack
Physical resistence 40%, Water & Fire resistence 30%, Wind Resistence 90%, Ice & Lightning resistence 10%
Earth weakness 100%

Notes: Average defense around that time is 183 (92 effective). All in all, Sylph’s defense is barely above average, however the 40% physical resistance is nice. His Mdef is 80 to an average of 47.57 (again, not sure how that translates), but it’s likely fairly effective.

Average Party HP: 1210
Relevant Duelling Techs
Wind Blade- 650 Wind damage; Unfocused; About 1000 Wind damaged focused. Note that if you have a character alone, that character will likely die unless it is Rassius.
Sagittarius Arrow- 150 Physical Damage

My Damage to Him
Grave: 600
Reid: 900
Rassius: 350
Farah: 500
Average: 635

Evaluation: The HP isn't much, but good MDef and Physical resistance. If you let the damage focus, he's rather nasty. He's a Middle/Heavy to me, but if you let his damage focus and give him HP credit for his support, he could swing all the way up to Low Godlike.

Efreet
HP: 24000
Def: 360 (180 effective)
Intelligence: 50
Physical resistence 20%
Water weakness 50%
Wind, Earth, Ice, Lightning resistence 10%
Fire resistence 100%

Notes: Average defense around that time is 187 (94 effective). This means Efreet takes 193 physical damage while the surrounding monsters take 279 (about a 30% reduction, about 50% reduction with the natural resistance).
His mdef is 50 to an average of 81.

Average Party HP: 1325
Relevant Duelling Techs
Burning Beast- 850 Fire Physical Damage (High variance against defense)
Fear Flare- 325 Fire Magical Damage (50x 6/7 hits)
Physical- 140

My Damage against him
Aqua Edge- 1160 (580x2)
Spread- 1305 (435x3)
Reid- 960 (Most techs)
Farah- About 500 (Lower Attack than Reid, as well as suckier mults)
Average: 981.25

Evaluation: Decent Heavy. His HP is nice, and he has good damage...just it's all Fire. Still, a full hitting Burning Beast is very potent.

Recently replayed ToE and decided to take down some damage averages.
Levels are taken at 70, but since I used HP/TP boosters on the characters, follow the stat averages found above. They don't differ much.
According to a save I did before the final boss though, Reid's TP at 70 should be 500-ish, while Farah's should be 560-ish.
Tests were done on Shizel Castle random encounters, and these are the averages for Reid and Farah.
Best damages are highlighted in bold.

Reid
Critical doubles SKILL(Never worked for normal physicals for me) damage. Out of about 100 hits, about 20 of them doubled in damage. Damages below are under NORMAL condition. His effective damage rises about 20% and is shown in parenthesis. Does not seem to work on Aurora Artes.
Note : Reid can combo 3 physicals, a Base skill, then an Arcane skill. Rising Phoenix and Omega Demon Chaos are considered special Base skills since they cannot link to an Arcane Art, but to their own Extensions only.
Normal physical - 1300
Demon Twist(10 TP) - 1300 x 4 = 5200(6240)
Omega Demon Chaos(40 TP) - 8x 1000 = 8000(9600)
Omega Seal(40 TP) -> Quasi Seal - Only works if opponent has lower than 20000 HP endgame, and not more than 50% wind resistance, and they must be grounded, and not large sized. Instant win though.
Rising Phoenix(40 TP) - 5-10 hits, 950 damage each(seems a bit low, I know. But I've tested on nearly everything in Shizel Castle, and it comes up to this amount.), dependant on enemy positioning. At best positioning, if the enemy is on the ground and small/medium sized, they'll roughly get 5 hits. Bigger enemies get 7-8 hits, and flying enemies mostly get 8-10 hits of this. Fire elemental. 2750-9500(5700-11400)
Burning Phoenix(50 TP) - 2-5 hits, 1600 damage each, dependant on enemy size.2 hits on small, 3(sometimes 2) on medium, 5 on large. Fire elemental. Usable only after Rising Phoenix. 3200-8000(3840-9600)
Megasonic Thrust(15 TP) - 2 x 2700 = 5400(6480)
Demon Spiral Hammer(20 TP) - 4 x 600 Light damage + 2 x 900 + 1100 = 5300(6360)
Aurora Wall(50 TP) - 15(?) hits of 400 damage, 6000 total. Only usable at 15% HP.
Aurora Slash(100 TP) - 3500 + 3 x 2000 + 4000 + 9800 = 23300. Extension of Aurora Wall. HP is reduced to 1 afterwards.
Recommended comboes:
3 physicals -> Demon Twist -> Megasonic Thrust/Demon Spiral Hammer(Total TP cost : 35/40) = 14500/14400.(16620/16500)
3 physicals -> Rising Phoenix -> Burning Phoenix (Total 90 TP)= 11850(14220) on small enemies. 13450(16140) on medium enemies. 18550(22260) on large ground enemies. 18200(21840) on small/medium flying enemies. 21400(25680) damage on large flying enemies if they can be grounded.
3 physicals -> Omega Demon Chaos = 11900.

Farah
Weapon used : Omni Weapon(Holy Elemental)
Note : Farah's comboes are ludicrously long, she can combo 2 physicals, a ground skill, a ground-to-air skill, an air-to-ground skill, and a Power skill.
Physical - 1000
Ground :
Triple Blossom(6 TP) - 3 x 800 = 2400
Sonic Fist(8 TP) - 5 x 600, 4 if want to combo link. 2400/3000
Ground-to-air :
Rising Dragon Strike(12 TP) - 2500 + 1400 = 3900
Super Swallow Dance(13 TP) - 4 x 1400, 3 hits if want to combo link. 4200/5600
Air-to-Ground :
Death Blossom(12 TP) - 3 x 1450, 4350
Eagle Rage(20 TP) - 2 x 1100 + 1500. May hit another 1600 if target is large. 3700/5300
Power :
Chi(20 TP) - 2 x 1000 + 1500 + 900 = 4400
Chi(20 TP) -> Maximum Burst(70 TP) - 2 x 1000 + 6 x 1000 + 8000 = 16000. EDIT : Apparently missed 3000 damage. Now added.
Fatal Fury(60 TP) - 17 x 500 + 4 x 600 Fire damage = 10900
Deadly Force(80 TP) -> 2 physicals -> Triple Blossom -> Super Swallow Dance -> Death Blossom -> Flame Dance(Total 111 TP)
7000(long casttime) + 2000 + 2400 + 4200 + 4350 + 10000 Fire damage = 29950.
You do NOT want to know how long I needed to take to get this figure. Flame Dance is probably the single hardest extension to perform in this game.
EDIT : Thanks to some youtube videos, I found out Flame Dance can be combo liked into another ground-to-air skill and so on. I used Rising Dragon Strike for this as it seemed most reliable to hit. This effectively turns the Flame Dance full combo into :
Deadly Force(80 TP) -> 2 physicals -> Triple Blossom -> Super Swallow Dance -> Death Blossom -> Flame Dance -> Rising Dragon Strike -> Death Blossom -> Chi -> Maximum Burst(Total 211 TP) = 56600.

Recommended comboes :
2 physicals -> Triple Blossom -> Super Swallow Dance -> Death Blossom -> Chi (Total 51 TP) - 17350
2 physicals -> Triple Blossom -> Super Swallow Dance -> Death Blossom -> Fatal Fury (Total 91 TP) - 23950
2 physicals -> Triple Blossom -> Super Swallow Dance -> Death Blossom -> Chi -> Maximum Burst (Total 101 TP) - 28950.
I suggest Triple Blossom, Super Swallow Dance and Death Blossom over any of her other skills of the same type as I find they combo the most fluently. I will not recommend Flame Dance due to the insane cast time and incredible amounts of stress needed to perform it.

Spell damage from both mages stay roughly the same, even after a few level ups. After a few tests, the easiest to note was Indignation, doing roughly 4000-4300, and Absolute doing 3400-3700.
I do not give them Maxwell and Sekundes as they are optional, and those 2 spells seem to deal the best damage.
Max's damage also stays roughly the same, and Elemental Master is a pain to test. One enemy resists this, another resists that, etc. Aqua Spiral damage is quite misleading, as even though it DOES do 5 hits, normally the first 2 knock the enemy back(tested on medium enemies) and the rest miss.
Since he has Canceller however, he can chain his skills. However, I find that I cannot really do so.
I've tried everything after Aqua Spiral, but they don't seem to exactly "chain". Take that as you will.
EDIT: After further re-testing, Max CAN combo, providing all the hits on one skill hits. His most fluent combo(In my opinion) is Air Blade -> Rage Laser -> Elemental Master.

Damage averages :
Taking each character's best single Skill damage(Although Extensions, I suppose, are still considered single skill).
Will be assuming the enemy as medium-sized.
1. Max - Elemental Master - 23500
2. Farah - Chi -> Maximum Burst - 16000
(3. Reid - Rising Phoenix -> Burning Phoenix - 11460)
3. Reid - Rising Phoenix -> Burning Phoenix - 9550
4. Chat - Ice Hammer - 4741
5. Indignation - 4200
6. Absolute - 3500
Average : 10249(10567)

Combo damage :
1. Max - Air Blade -> Rage Laser -> Elemental Master - 40500
2. Farah - Flame Dance combo - 29950
(3. Reid - 3 physicals -> Demon Twist -> Megasonic Thrust - 16620)
3. Reid - 3 physicals -> Demon Twist -> Megasonic Thrust - 14500
4. Chat - 2 physicals -> Ice Hammer - 6741
5. Indignation - 4200
6. Absolute - 3500
Average : 16565(16919)

I made another average assuming Max can not combo :

1. Farah - Flame Dance combo - 29950
2. Max - Elemental Master - 23500
(3. Reid - 3 physicals -> Demon Twist -> Megasonic Thrust - 16620)
3. Reid - 3 physicals -> Demon Twist -> Megasonic Thrust - 14500
4. Chat - 2 physicals -> Ice Hammer - 6741
5. Indignation - 4200
6. Absolute - 3500
Average : 13731(14085)

And now that I've tested Farah's fully extended Flame Dance, here's ANOTHER average, with Max being able to combo.
1. Farah - Flame Dance FULL combo - 56600
2. Max - Air Blade -> Rage Laser -> Elemental Master - 40500
(3. Reid - 3 physicals -> Demon Twist -> Megasonic Thrust - 16620)
3. Reid - 3 physicals -> Demon Twist -> Megasonic Thrust - 14500
4. Chat - 2 physicals -> Ice Hammer - 6741
5. Indignation - 4200
6. Absolute - 3500
Average : 21007(21361)

Just realized an error here. You can chain a base skill before Rising Phoenix.
And on Aqua Spiral's hit, it can get all hits in occasionally on enemies with weight of 3, and consistently full hits if the weight is 4 or above. But ToE's weight value is different from the size of the enemy, so how to take this is up to you.

I had an updated topic but didn't ever post it?



Tales of Eternia:

- Tales of Eternia. You know if if you played it.

- Enemy Atk is assumed to be 450, Enemy defense 416 (Effectively 208 since defense is halved in ToE). The game uses a simple subtraction system.

- I'm assuming the mages can both use the 2nd and 3rd best spells. Distortion and Holy Lance. These are reasonable for endgame. Still not good...

Omega Seal (40 TP):   No damage. But can chain into Quasi Seal. Can't be combo'd into very well.
Quasi Seal (24 TP): 130000 wind damage to one target, must have less than 30% wind Resistance and <20,000 remaining HP.   
   
Reid must be below 15% HP to use the following skills that chain into each other. They reduces his HP to 1:

Comments: Reid has elemental resists, passable damage, and a limit. Too bad his Aurora Artes are limits, as it restricts his ability to kill things.

Fatal Fury (60 TP):   8235 Of which 2288 is fire damage         

Deadly Force (80 TP): 6881 Damage. Freezes enemy and enables Flame Dance following a 4 physical/move combo for a short window. This move has a charge time and is close-medium range.

Flame Dance: 9175 Fire damage. Farah can cancel this before her backflips with another tech (best mapped to L2/R2) that will do no damage but let her start an entirely new combo while the enemy is still in the throes of this. Fun times.

Spell-Like Artes:                     
Healer (12 TP): Heals 30% HP to one                     
Detoxify (4TP): Removes Poison/Weak                     

Comments: Combo-happy girl. Whether you allow her to smack things with Deadly Force to open her combos or force her to not use her charge time move, she's got damage either way. She runs out of it fastish and she doesn't have a lot of backup healing or elemental resists. But the damage and physical durability is there.

Comments: Keele has slightly more durability than Meredy and less damage on acount of not hitting with a fur-missile too. Pretty crappy.

8767      

Comments: Bad durability, bad damage. At least it has a low chance of status? Yeah Chat is pretty bad. Eternal Hammer (Skill that throws out hammers till she runs out of TP) could in theory do damage but it does not lock down a foe for sure.

Equipment:

Rare Helm: 20 Def, Protects against Stun            
*Canceller: An accessory that lets Max combo his attacks (Can cancel L1->L2 without the L2's charge time and L2 into L3)            
            
Alternate Equipment:            
Bloody Robe: 14 Def, 5 Eva, Resists Darkness by 20%            
            
Physical Combo:   2270         
            
Max's abilities all have charge times, but he can cancel from L1 abilities to L2 abilities to L3 abilities if he has the Canceller. This can be tricky, as his L2 abilities are dependent on enemy position and the actual act of cancelling can't be done the easy way (holding shoulder buttons).            
            
L1 Abilities:            
Aqua Spiral (28 TP):  27240 Water damage, (all 6 hits assumed)      
Aqua Cure (28 TP): 90% Healing to Max         
Air Blade (24 TP): 8513   Air damage (3 hits assumed)      
Burning Force (20 TP): 5675         
            
L2 Abilities:            
Rage Laser (34 TP): 12258 Light damage to one, assuming 6 hits. Enemy must be towards edge of screen from max.      
Dark Laser: (40 TP): 12939 Dark damage to an enemy Max is right on top of. Difficult to combo to Elemental Master because of the way it floats enemies, potentially to behind Max.      
            
L3 Elemental Master (72 TP): 23835 Damage. 2837.5 of which is Fire, Same for Water/Earth/Wind
            
Best Combo:            
Air Blade → Rage Laser → Elemental Master (130 TP)
44606 damage.         


Comments: Max has durability. Max has Damage. Be like Max and smite stuff.
