Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
- Humans only, no assuming that they can use their starting mons or anything. Familiars are a headache for a lot of reasons.
- Level was 60. Tests were on the 2nd to last boss.
- The combat system is Real-Time, but there is no real staggering so a straight time/turn comparison can be made. I've listed time in seconds by the most crucial stuff, along with an 'average turn' time. I've also accounted for a time/damage average because the big huge massive nuke is kind of slow and the damage average should be a tad lower to reflect that. Or you can handwave it all away and call everything average, but I don't think that's quite fair.
- 'Knockdown' attacks are rather important. They do three things: Cancel an enemy's charging special, force a 'glimmer drop' (slight HP or MP restoration), and delay the enemy's next action by forcing them down. Thunderstorm, Pulse, and Sureshot can do this, but nothing else. Thunderstorm is especially nasty, as it's crazy fast and MT.
- Stats are self-explanatory. I will note that Defense means not that much in the tight band that the human PCs have. Swaine may reduce damage by 10% and Oliver may increase it 8% or so. It's tight, regardless. (monsters have more variety in this stat). Ditto Mdef.
- Statuses: Sleep lasts 3-4 turn or until you take damage. Confuse lasts until you take physical damage and lets you only wander around aimlessly or throw a weak physical at a random person. Stone is essentially Instant Death making a different check. Poison is worthless. The PCs can't really block statuses without a more complicated alchemy accessory than I am willing to assume.
- Storebought accessories for the humans. They are basically equips. Oliver wants Light Scales (+20% Light magic damage) and everyone else wants Nix Gnashers (+12 Atk/Matk/Acc). They have 2 slots for accessories, not that it matters.
- Basic physical attacks really suck coming off human stats.

Comments: A tad bit on the slow side but Astra really hurts. I guess there is the full-healing and lots of HP/MP to help too. Thunderstorm is a)Fast and b) does Knockdown/cancel. It's very hard to fight this in-game because the knockdown is kind of like a delay effect to those vulnerable to it. Quite nasty. Probably a Heavy? No status protection hurts.
