Welcome, one and all. I've gathered you noble warriors here today... for a test. All of you claim to be stellar fighters worth respecting, yet you focus your time and ability on one tiny section of your worth. One pathway of your lives that leads you. I've fixed this. When you enter my dungeon, you start at your lowest level, and build to potential levels of power far beyond that of what you have when you face your ultimate foe. If you can do all this and successfully return alive, anything you wish for shall be granted. Of course, that's the easy part. Getting there is the challenge. Make your teams, and good luck. You'll need it. Don't disappoint me now... That wouldn't be wise! Hahahaha!

FORMAT RULES

Each division is being assigned a point value, and you may have a team of up to 11 points or five members total.

You may use unranked characters not from the list of potential picks, but please try to gauge their power levels independently.

If you would like to make a team completely independently, try and give it some sort of theme -- for example:

God-Slayers: Ryu2, Yuri1, Hiro, Cthulu

It doesn't have to be some hard and fast rule, but it would be more fun if it was something everyone could easily understand.

Each team of participats will face various challenges, if they win a majority of the challenges they will move on to other challenges. If not, then they will be retired or moved to others.

Emily (3), Ephraim (3), White Wizard (1.5), Nei (1), Palom (1)

So, Emily and Ephraim smash w/ Song of Madness, WW and Palom fill the healing and attack magic roles.

Will die pretty quickly, I imagine.

Rika(4)
Momo(3)
Jessica(Lunar)(2)
Nei(1)
FF1 Monk(0)

More or less copy+pasted from the old boards, but had to sub in Bow as Jessica's no longer an option.  Still tempted to try and work Purim in there somehow.

What the... somehow Jessica got removed from the middle list. She's still on there if you want to use her. I'll put her back now.

Zerase (4) Emily (3) Bernadette (1.5) Rena (1.5) Mint (Free)

Two heavy-hitters plus the revival squad. Screw balance, surely this cannot fail! Well, actually, it can, but it makes me laugh, so that's good enough for now. And someone had to use Zerase. Lack of MT damage will probably sink me by floor two or three (prior to that I can rely on BREATH OF ICE. Also Rena physicals), but what the hell.

EDIT: NEW TEAM IN LATER POST

Alakazam (3)
Gau (3)
Knight (2.5)
Marcus (1.5)
Mint (free)

Alakazam and Gau take a while to get going, but Knight and Marcus shouldn't have much trouble with the earlygame.

Rika (PS4) (4) - For the Saner, ID, and general damage
Cecelia (WA) (4) - Does everything but damage and durability!
Cray (BoF4)  (1) - Does damage and durability! Also, stat buffs, but I doubt he'll be doing much of that. Slow, needs Saner.
Mia (L:SSSC) (1) - backup magic damage and buffing! Saner should fix the speed problem! Slow, needs Saner.
Mint (ToP) (Free!) - Doesn't really need to do anything, she's Mint. Godlike.

Lots of healing and buffing on this team. This team falls apart without Saner to get going though.

I dub this team: "4 Mage-girls and a Cat-boy" >.>;;

EDIT: Even though Cray and Mia's rankings changed, my team remains the same. Mia gain +.5 rank while Cray got -.5 rank. Awesome... ?

Tir McDohl (Suikos) (4) - Lategame insane damage, earlygame ST ID, midgame MT ID, fast, and...
Riou (S2) (3) - ...With this guy, Physical MT ITE damage (at least I think it's ITE).  Also an emergency healer, along with being fast and evasive.
Lilka (WA2) (2) - Buffing and magic damage.  Magic damage isn't MT until later, but eh.  Also emergency healer and revive specialist.  Also, literally never runs out of resources once you let her get going.
Lucia (SH2) (1) - ...Despite sucking in a duel, she's actually not too bad in a team setting.  Her Aromatherapy skill is actually pretty interesting, and she can kind of attend to her defense problem with her own spells.  Another plus for her is helping Tir and Riou be more awesome later, and Lilka around mid-game, I think...  Ricardo would've been better, but I only had 1 point left.
Mint (ToP) (Free) - Unlimited healing.  Lilka and Riou are there to panic heal if Mint goes down, but pretty much doesn't ever stop healing.

Biggest weakness:  Status resistance.  Lucia is basically the only one that can get it, and she can spread it around (for sacrificing other useful ATK or DEF buffs), but she has to get a turn, first...  That, and Lilka's the only one with elemental damage, unless you count Lucia's Heat Edge.  On the earlier floors, Lucia might have problems with resources, but it's not too bad.  Stalling doesn't work because of her, but that's a small liability anyway.

Naw ... Lucia's support is definitely better than than Ricardo's - he restores by a lower percentage than Lucia irrc and his offensives aren't enough to make up for the standard of Lucia's buffs. Good team.

Let's setup a fun little team.

Cecil (3)
Ness (3)
FFT Chemist (3)
Raja (1)
FF1 Monk (Free)

Lots of healing with limited offense to chip its way through the dungeon with limitless durability.

Kind of interested in this but ... if a character you want is already picked do you have to pick another one?

Nope. You can pick whoever you want from the roster, assuming you don't go over on points or try to use someone twice in the same pool.
