Soul Nomad (PCs + Final, Bosses by OK)

[DjinnAndTonic]

Soul Nomad is an SRPG by Nippon-Ichi. This means lots of demons, huge numbers, and generics. The interesting feature this time around is Ogre Battle-style squads. In the game, a squad (of up to 9 units) takes on the characteristics of its Leader as it moves about the map. All leaders have a few special skills they can use on the map, known as 'Field Tactics'. These generally boosts stats, but a few heal or attack whole squads. Leaders also have 'Special Attacks', which can only be accessed below 80% Stamina (STM), that are generally high-powered attacks or full-healing for an entire squad. Finally, all units have individual 'Basic commands' according to what row in a squad they are placed (Front, Middle, Back), akin to Ogre Battle, only characters can't switch their row mid-battle.

This topic assumes that all PCs are measured as squads consisting only of themselves as the Leader, and so have access to all of their personal unique skills.

Stats:
HP : Hit Points. Determines how much punishment a unit can take.
ATK: Attack Power. Determines physical damage output.
DEF: Defense. Determines damage reduction from physical attacks.
HIT: Hit. Determines if you can hit an enemy (magical and physical).
INT: Intelligence. Determines magical damage output.
SPD: Speed. Determines avoidance (magical and physical).
RES: Resistance. Determines magical damage reduction.

STM: Stamina. Determines how many actions a unit can perform. Special combo skills can only be used if your squad is below 80% stamina. Most actions use 5 Stamina. This includes movement and counterattacks but it varies depending on terrain. Only the squad leader's STM matters. When this decreases below 50%, you'll begin to lose some stats on a % basis. The maximum value for this is 200.
ACT: Action. Determines how far a squad can move, and how frequent it takes a turn. Only the squad leader's ACT matters. The maximum value for this is 50.


All forms of acting during a battle takes up STM.
Basic attacks take 5 STM.
All Field tactics take 5 STM.
Special Attacks always occur in addition to Basic attacks when available, and do not take up additional STM. Basically, anything other than moving or standing still takes 5 STM.
All characters that are within their range will Counter-attack when attacked. This also takes 5 STM.
Moving takes 1 STM per tile moved.
Standing still or Defending recovers 15% STM.

Ranged and Magic-type characters can initiate attacks from a distance.
Melee characters with ranged Basic commands can Counter-attack, but not initiate attacks from a distance.

Melee characters can use a maximum of 9 STM a turn by moving 4 tiles around their enemy and attacking (5 STM). Some may be able to increase this to 13 STM by moving their full movement range (most units can move between 5 and 8 tiles) and then using a Field Tactics (5 STM). This is important because the sooner a unit can reach the 80% STM mark, the sooner they can use their Special Attack, which is most characters' only good damage. Once they reach this range, they want to stop moving though, as under 50% STM, a unit's total stats begin to slowly decrease. They can skip a turn or defend to recover 15% STM when this happens. Since Counter-attacks also use up 5 STM, characters can reach this range pretty quickly.

Ranged characters can use their full movement and attack every turn, so most of them will reach their limit range faster and won't have to sacrifice their Counter-attacks.

Match bonus:
All characters and classes have innate strengths and weaknesses against other classes. In general, Melee does more damage against Ranged, Ranged > Magic > Melee. This is signified specifically in-game by a Heart/Skull system, where 2 Hearts means a unit will do lots of extra damage against the opponent, and 2 skulls means the attacker won't be doing much damage at all. I don't know the exact formula, but after a lot of damage tests, it averages out that damage increases/decreases based on the following. (X=skull; O=heart)

Attack matches
vs. XX: 33%
vs. X : 55%
Base: 100%
vs. O : 133%
vs. OO: 155%

Revya, for example, has OO vs. Archers, and so does 155% of normal damage when attacking one. On the flip side, Revya has XX vs. Dancers and does a mere 33% of normal damage when attacking one. Interpretation is up to you.

All damage tests were done against the same allied unit over numerous resets using a Match Bonus-nulling decor and neutral terrain.

Demon Force is a great turn 1 skill and puts Revya way above everyone else for turn 1 damage.
Revya's crit rate is ridiculously high, and not currently factored into the damage tests.
Revya is the only character who can increase stats using Gig Edicts on villagers, so some people may allow this stat boost, but these stats listed here are without any boosting. The stats and damage numbers in parentheses are with Revya having Fused with every available NPC in the game. If you allow this, Revya's damage and durability skyrocket.
Revya is also the only character who can Summon squads, and if you allow this, s/he is an unrankably High Bluelike (a Maronalike?).
Revya can skip a turn of damage and move a little further and use a Field Tactic buff instead so that he can start using his Demon Blast Special limit attack on Turn 3.
If he opts for the slightly-less-powerful Plasmbomb to counter ranged attacks, then any Counter-attacking he does will also speed up how quickly he can use Demon Blast.

Danette is the fastest PC in the game. She's also decently durable and her Blaze Slash limit is one of the more damaging ones. However, that's her only game - rushing for her limit Special. She can buff her movement and turnspeed significantly to do this, as well as increase her evade and attack for when she finally attacks. Her back-row ranged attack, KnifeThrow, counters long-range attacks and is only a few points less damage than her front-row attack, so she'll probably want to default to this most of the time.
Unfortunately for Danette, her lack of initiating Ranged attacks and her high STM means that she won't see her limit Special attack until Turn 5 with the usual melee strategy of move-and-attack every round. She can sacrifice early damage and opt to use Enliven to boost her ACT significantly. This not only increases her turnspeed, but also her movement, so she can waste more STM to get to her limit Special sooner. If she does this again on her second turn and uses one of her other Field Tactics (she'll be too far from the enemy to attack, but a FT wastes 5 STM too), she'll be able to see her limit on Turn 3 (and she can have boosted her ATK/CRT for it, too). If she's able to Counter-attack (5 STM) her opponent at all, this also speeds up how early she'll be able to use her limit.

Juno is Revya-lite, trading in good damage for slightly better durability. A losing trade. She can't buff her ATK as high, and she lacks anything like Demon Force for Turn 1 damage. Her limit Special attack is decently powerful and she'll get it by Turn 4 at the latest. Oh, and she has a shot of 60% healing. She has to sacrifice 2 turns of damage-dealing to access her Special limit by Turn 3 (unless she's countering, then it'll be earlier anyway). Her Match bonuses aren't quite as good as Revya's, but she's basically average.

Classic healer/buffer with very limited resources. His buffs are pretty good, and if he lives to see his limit Special, he'll be dealing his max damage (93!) and full-healing and buffing every round. He can sacrifice a round of damage to see his Special by Turn 3. His Match Bonuses and amazing RES stat make him a great mage-slayer. Pity about that HP and DEF, though. Could be a good Light.

Galahad's durable and that's about it. He's slow, his damage isn't great, he's limited to Melee range, and even his Match Bonuses suck. His limit Special is weaker than most, and he can only use it twice. He can buff his attack a little to be more effective... and he can buff his DEF into 'you can't damage me range' to spoil some low-resource fighters, but he's not good. Might do okay in Light.

Now there's some damage. Grunzford's regular attack is better than characters' limit Specials. And his Special is nearly game-best damage. He's slow, but he's even more tanky than Galahad, and he can buff his attack 60% and even has a little healing. Unless he's countering a lot, he won't be seeing his limit before Turn 5, but he's durable enough that he can probably handle that. A shame about that RES stat, so he's not a fan of magic. His Field Tactic 'Coerce' stops enemies from moving, but they can still attack. Since his range is only Melee, this means the only way he can take advantage of this is every other turn he can attack first and then move out of another Melee character's threat range. But to attack on the next round, he'd have use up his move phase to move back into his own attack range. Could be useful for him to cast his buffs or healing against a dangerous Melee-ranged opponent.

Tricia is a Ranged fighter, and so she can move further every turn and still attack her opponent with her regular damage. This allows her to get her limit Special much quicker than most of the cast. This is good because her durability and damage are overall somewhat low. Even her limit Special is notably not OHKO damage. She can buff her ATK & DEF for some extra kick against healers. Probably a decent Middle, and makes mages, flyers, and evasion whores cry.

Yikes that durability! Odie's a Glass Cannon. He can deal gamebest regular damage every turn, has a strong, uncounterable, opening move in Static Lance, and gets his amazing limit Special on Turn 3... if anything lives that long. His RES is pretty good, so he's decent against mages. His DEF is horrible, but his Match Bonuses are strong against Melee types, so he might have a shot there. Ranged fighters destroy him. Also, if he needs physical damage for whatever reason, all he has is his measely single-digit-damage staff whack. He also cries if you consider his attacks Thunder-elemental and resistable. Soul Nomad doesn't have elements, so his spells are Thunder in animation only. Overall, his high 2HKO damage might make him a a low Heavy.

Another Ranged mage-slayer. This time flying. Agrippa's ACT, STM, and Range make him the only Soul Nomad PC able to pull off a limit Special on Turn 2, assuming he counters his opponent. Too bad his limit Special is game-worst. He has one shot of healing and can buff his ATK, so he's not unsalvagable, but he's still not very good. With his turnspeed, he might be a low Middle. Archers destroy him.

Oh look, a flying Vitali... but with worse damage and durability. Pinot is probably the worst duelist of the cast. Her only healing are her limit Special and Metabolize (which HP regen, but also STM regen, meaning that it takes even longer for her to reach her limit!). And her buffing isn't great either. She has decent turnspeed, but she's basically a low-resource no-damage healer with crappy buffs. She might have a decent chance against some mages in Light thanks to her Match Bonuses.

And here's the smash! Layna has some of the highest-damage Basic attacks AND one of the best Specials (easily OHKOs average). She's faster than Revya, and has Enliven like Danette to speed up her limit range.  She can sacrifice one round of damage to Enliven up and move to expend some STM and can use her limit Special by Turn 3. She can even buff her ATK for a particularly durable opponent. She has gamebest HP by a large margin, so she's possibly a good Heavy.

Levin is a temp that is with your party for most of the game, and under certain conditions, you can get him back in your party at the endgame. I'm including him in the averages as the default, but I'll also provide a non-Levin'd average.
As a duelist, he's a really limited Melee fighter. He's basically Juno, but a little faster and a little less damaging. He also takes one more turn to reach his limit Special, but he's still basically an average Middle. Loves you if you allow his incredibly illegal boss form.

Endorph is...a lot less impressive than expected.  He's a ranged fighter, with low stamina, so he can get that special attack up pretty fast.  It's...decent, though again, not as good as expected.  Still, he can get it turn 2 if he gets countered - and that will kill things dead.  Also likes having Chrome Heart, which boosts ATK and ACT, so he's actually a bit better than he looks at first glance.  His stats are otherwise ok, but...he looked more impressive before I statted him >_>

Drazil is weird. He's incredibly fast, but doesn't move on the map. Mostly, he doesn't have to because he has pretty long ranged attacks. He starts the battle at level 942 thanks to Ruler's Law, which gives him a +100 level bonus for each of his support squads. So you have to kill all nine of his pitiful support squads before the real battle starts with him at level 42.
*Thanks to some weird glitch(?) with how the de-levelling takes place, once all of his supports have been killed, Drazil will have incredibly high stats for a level 42 unit. However, after his first attack (which was always Divine Bolt in the 5 times I tested), he immediately 'Levels Up' (the animation for it displays, but his level remains 42) and his stats drop to a more reasonable range. If you allow this glitch for his first turn, he has ridiculous OHKO damage off of insane speed. (Though since he can't move, he might still lose initiative for a lot of interps!)
Picket Line makes him immune to all long-range INT-based spells, but normal INT-based attacks work fine. How you interpret this pseudo-magical-immunity is up to you.

Stuff to do: Levin, Endorph, Layna's and Danette's attack matches.

Boss Notes for the Demon Path: really, the only boss I'm adding here is the first fight with Feinne.  Thuris, Feinne, Raksha do fight a second time (and Thuris has Decor that allows him to survive a fatal attack with 1 HP), and other characters get boss forms (basically the whole PC cast), but overall, they're very similar with more support.  Granted, Raksha might like it (very high level compared to the party on average), but they're pretty similar scaled.  That being said...



World Eater Feinne
Level 46  
HP 4160
STM 180
ACT 32
  
ATK 441/147
DEF 346/115 (about 30% reduction/20% weakness)
HIT 300/100
INT 720/240
SPD 162/54 (about 0% evasion/0% evasion)
RES 532/184 (about 50% reduction/10% weakness)

***Does not counter

Perfect Soul: Unlimited STM and use of special skills
Tough Defense: Reduces magic damage received by 20%
Whim Destiny: Raises base stats by 50% on odd turns; Lowers base stats by 50% on even turns (indicated as odd/even above in the stats section)

Ego Drive: 225/90 physical damage, MT
Calm Death: 340/140 magical damage, MT

Tactics:
Holy Verdict: 300/100 magical damage, AoE

Party averages: (be prepared for wild variation; I'm assuming the same notes continued from the normal path set, which you may argue isn't ideal for the Demon Path; my typical group is 7 squads, 9 members each, the usual mix of a plot character+cleric+melee+mage+range+others)
Level 36-40
350 HP
20 ACT
150 DAMAGE

Support: Feinne fights alone in her squad.  Her support is pretty negligible - a bunch of level 20-some generics and Galahad, who have trouble breaking defenses at this point.  Feinne effectively fights alone.

Just a note, Thuris has a 1-20% atk effect on Rolling Dark.

Sidenote: Agrippa's Shotgun should focus if there is only one enemy in the column selected.  I distinctly remember this, at least, so that might help his damage out somewhat.

[DjinnAndTonic]

His damage is tested against a single enemy in a column. That -is- the focused damage.

...wow.  That...sucks.  Massively.  Shocking contrast compared to how useful Agrippa is in-game as a mage/flyer-slayer

He's not that bad off, really. Since his STM is low and he's ranged, it means only his first attack and counters are that weak. By his second turn, he'll be able to use his Limit, so he still 3HKOs average, is decently evasive and very accurate, and has counters and one shot of healing. That's plenty good enough for Middle.

Since I noticed some people discussing Revya's Fusion ability as legal, I went ahead and added in her stats with full Fusion. She is a much better Godlike than before if you allow this...

As Tonfa put it... O_O!

[OblivionKnight]

I edited Endorph into Djinni's notes above.  Over the next few days, I'm going to add in the Demon Path PCs as well, and the few remaining bosses (FEINNE'S LEVEL 45 BOSS FORM!!!!!).  Djinn, when you get a chance, want to talk to you.
