Tales of Graces- ranking stuff (spoilers)

[superaielman]

It might be the lack of sleep talking, but I am going to take a crack at this stat topic. God help me.

outlining:

Titles I'm tossing:

The L100/200 titles. I did all the sidequests and finished at L80.  I don't see them as legal.
Combo Kaiser:. I didn't get a single person with this in game.
DLC only titles.
Lord of Loot:  Wasn't remotely close to this after one playthrough, and I farmed hard for items.
Lookalike titles: I'm fine with the stats from them, but *fuck* no to the actual costume changing part.

Titles I'm iffy on:

A bunch of Richard's high level titles. 10000 B artes with him seems unlikely, etc. I am open to argumetns on this though.
Trio of Titans: Requires honecage to get, which I'm iffy on legality wise.  This is very relevant, as it gives Rise.
Eleth mod: Really expensive for the entire team.
Lord of Chaos: 400 battles on Chaos?  Blah.

Title that is completely DL legal but I can't get because Fuck Magic Carta:

Carta Shark (I'll adjust the numbers in the topic for this)


I think that covers all the relevant ones.


I'm going to speed through a NG+ run while porting over my book/titles/mixer/etc. Will skip grabbing boss notes to save time/because I'm porting over titles and art usage to speed up the stat topic making.


Edit: I didn't see ID hit once when testing. Niu, do you know how long enemy duration on status lasts? At the arena I'm at (Zhonecage) it isn't long. Nonfatal status+extremely short duration is a recipe for sadness and failure, even with promising hit rates.

[superaielman]

Total states received from titles for each character. Excluding DLC titles, of course.

Just doublechecking, but this is PS3 titles right? A few of them did have different stat gains in that version.

[Niu]

Yes, those are from the PS3 version

[superaielman]

Do equipment bonuses stack with innate skills? IE if Pascal uses a scarf that boosts X-fiend, will it just add that to her innate resistances?

[Niu]

The resistence against enemy type stacks. Maximum up to 25% reduction.

[superaielman]

ooh, you can't stack over that then? I know Pascal can get above 25% on paper with some equips, but fi it doesn't stack any farther it's a moot point. Thanks.

[superaielman]

Also: I know that filling up the crit gauge gives you a crit hit. Is that the only way to get a crit hit? I know a bunch of moves have a chance to cri (A artes specifically). Also, crit hit is 2x damage plus any bonus?

[Niu]

I don't have the number on individual tech's crit rate.

I only know higher the HIT, faster C guage incerase upon hit.
Lower the EVD, faster the C gauge decreases upon hit.
And once C gauge becomes zero, it'll be a guaranteed critical from enemy+peep=death.
In other word, Hubert, thanks to his poor EVD, well be getting crit a lot.

Also, higher the Hit, longer stagger time for enemy after they got hit. The reverse is also true for EVD.

[superaielman]

MOTHERFUCKING TOG, MUST YOU MAKE EVERYTHING DIFFICULT AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Niu: So characters have a set critical hit bonus which can be augmented by mastery bonuses. Are those literal? (Ie all the a artes with crit+30, is that literally a 30% increase in crits or is it something else?)

[Niu]

Yes, those are literal.

Important note for Super. Just to confirm you -can- change Titles during battle - in the Equip Menu, along with changing equipment if you want. Don't know how much this changes any of character specific games in the DL if any but thought it was important for peeps to know
