Etrian Odyssey Nexus: Even in 2019, F.O.E!

[074]

Before we start, massive thanks to the damage charts in the EON LP (by Rea, Reco, Angel, and Afilitaria), Reinasakuraba's EON skill calculator, the EON Raw Info Dump, and the EOV/X Calculator (I'm not able to quite source these properly, I would very much appreciate any source I can get, though in general the information is largely in thanks to the general EON GameFAQs community).

Etrian Odyssey Nexus, known as Sekaiju no Meikyuu X(Cross) in Japan, released in 2019, is a dungeon crawler not unlike the other games in its series, and in a sense, a farewell to the series on handhelds.  It boasts a whole nineteen classes, with representatives from all over the series from 1 to 5, Untolds included.

Endgame levels will be taken at 90, as that is where PCs will naturally be at by the final boss.  They get 97 skillpoints to apply to their selection of skills: 5 of these are to represent that subclassing is available, which gives characters a free 5 skillpoints.  Essentially, I'm giving these characters the benefit of an "empty" subclass.  (For those wondering, subclasses only give equipment options and skill access, no stat modifiers of any kind.)

Combat follows a turn-based format.

STATS, AND WHAT THEY DO:
HP: Run out of these, and your name is added to the Deer Fatality Memorial.
TP::Ability resource.  Run out of these and you turn into a Fire Emblem character.
Strength/STR: Affects physical attack damage and status infliction rates attached to abilities that inflict physical damage.
Vitality: Affects physical defense.
Intelligence: Affects magical attack damage and status infliction rates attached to abilities that inflict magical damage.
Wisdom: Affects healing and magical defense.
Agility: Affects turn speed, accuracy, and evasion.
Luck: Affects status infliction and defense rates.

Elements are straightforward: Cut, Bash, Stab, Fire, Ice, Volt, and Almighty.  I don't think this needs any extra elaboration.

Status comes in three varieties: Ailments, Binds, and Other.  A target may only have one Ailment on them at a time, whereas they can have any number of Binds.  Other status may apply at any time.

AILMENTS:
Petrify: The target is turned to stone.  Unlike most cases of petrification, this is not permanent or fatal.  They cannot act, but enjoy a bonus 50% reduction to cut/bash/stab attacks.  Disables evasion.
Curse: The target takes backlash damage equal to the damage they deal.  Killing blows do not inflict backlash damage.  This sucks in-game.
Sleep: The target cannot act.  While sleeping, the target takes 50% extra damage from cut/bash/stab attacks.  Ends when any damage is taken.  Disables evasion.
Panic: The target makes randomly-targeted basic attacks.  Disables evasion.
Paralysis: The target has a 50% chance to not act every turn.  Disables evasion if their action is disabled this turn.
Poison: The target takes damage every turn.
Blind: The target's accuracy is reduced to 33% of its previous value, and is hard-capped at 50% for abilities that do not have perfect accuracy.  Disables evasion.

- Ailments have a priority system, where "higher" ailments overwrite lower ones, and "lower" ailments cannot be inflicted while a "higher" ailment is present, displayed in the order listed above.

BINDS:
Head Bind: Disables the use of abilities that use the head, and halves the target's INT.  Roughly analogous to Silence, though also can affect bite/breath attacks among others.
Arm Bind: Disables the use of abilities that use the arms, and halves the target's STR.  ("Arm" abilities include most martial skills, and also include abilities that use forelegs or wings)
Leg Bind: Disables the use of abilities that use the legs, halves the target's AGI, and disables evasion.  ("Leg" abilities also include tail-based abilities.)

OTHER:
Stun: The target cannot act for the turn.
Death: Instant death, enough said.

- Accumulative resistance exists as it does in most EO games.  It's up to you whether you wish for it to be a property of EO's status or of EO duelists.  Numbers are not clear, but if it follows previous EOs, the initial reduction is a flat 30%.  However, this value degrades over the course of ten turns back to 0, wherein it can then be reapplied.  Accumulative Resistance kicks in after the status ends, not begins, and applies to the specific status, rather than all of them.


BUFFS AND DEBUFFS:
- EO's buff/debuff system is unique to the series.  Three buffs and three debuffs each can be placed onto a character, cycling out the oldest placed modifier should a fourth of either be applied.
- Buffs and debuffs each have a "type".  If a buff of the same type is cast on somebody with a debuff, or vice versa, the two effects negate, regardless of duration or strength.
- Buffs and debuffs have perfect accuracy.  If an ability that has a debuff hits, the debuff will land.  If an ability inflicts a debuff and does not inflict damage, the debuff will always take effect.
- Accuracy and evasion buffs/debuffs are flat modifiers.  A +30% accuracy buff means that someone with 80% accuracy would now have
110% accuracy.

FORCE:
- A mechanic carried from Etrian Odyssey Untold 2, Force is the game's "Limit Break" mechanic.  The party's force is restored completely just by returning to town, and so it is fair to assume all characters start with full Force.  The Force gauge needs to be at 100% to use.
Force Boost: Each class has a unique Force Boost.  Force Boost is a state that can be entered at the beginning of a round as a free action, providing its benefits at the point of decision, and lasting for three rounds.  Force Boost will end if the user uses a Force Break, or dies, and after Force Boost ends, the character's force gauge is reduced to 0%.
Force Break: During Force Boost, a character may choose to use their Force Break.  Force Breaks are, like Force Boosts, unique to the class.  Force Breaks notably have second-degree priority, taking priority over normal initiative moves.  When using a Force Break, the user's Force Boost ends immediately after the Force Break executes, and the user's Force Gauge is completely broken, unable to refill in any way until the party returns to town, restoring the character's Force gauge. (With one exception)

EQUIPMENT:
-Characters may equip one weapon, and three non-duplicate armor pieces.  Armor can be taken from body armor, shields, helmets, boots, gloves, and accessories.  Subweapons may be equipped, most notably from certain abilities but also as a product of subclassing--these do not provide extra attacks outside of specific circumstances, but may be needed for certain abilities.
-Itemcasts require the weapon to be equipped to use.  For that reason, I consider them all legal.

Afterimage Lv10: Attack skills performed by the user or an afterimage have a chance to create an additional afterimage, that replays the skill used to create it.  The afterimage holds the stats, including HP of the creator at the time of generation, though they do not carry buffs.  Due to party slot requirements, there can be a maximum of 5 after-images alongside the Hero at a given point in time.

Dark Image Lv10: Afterimages have a 34% chance of not disappearing at the end of the turn they act in.
Wide Bravery Lv1(5 TP): Inflicts 321 (385) melee cut damage.  If this skill activates before the target acts this turn (including if they cannot act), it instead affects all enemies.  80% speed.
Frigid Slash Lv2 (6 TP): Inflicts 307(369) melee cut/ice damage, inflicting 50% of this as splash damage to adjacent targets.  90% speed.
Shock Blade Lv8 (17 TP): Inflicts 267(321) melee cut damage, and follows up with an all-target Volt attack.  This attack scales with the target's Cut resistance, from 200(241) at neutral to 1336(1604) at immunity.  60% speed, +10% accuracy on the cut attack, +30% on the volt attack.
Burst Blade Lv3 (10 TP): Inflicts 178(213) melee cut damage.  Hits multiple times: at base 2-3 and then +1 for each enemy on the field beyond the target.  -5% accuracy, 70% speed.
Act Breaker Lv8 (24 TP): Inflicts 628(754) melee cut damage, with a 87.26% base chance of inflicting Stun.  This chance sharply decreases with the target's HP.  150% speed.
Regiment Rave Lv8 (32 TP): Inflicts 535(641) melee cut/fire damage at the end of the turn.  Increases to 1336(1604) based on the damage dealt by other combatants in the party in the round.  It functionally takes 4444 damage dealt by other party membrs or after-images to get the full damage.
Clear Mind Lv4 (5 TP): Uses no parts.  Removes ailments and all binds, and restores 27 TP to the user.
Encourage Lv8: When using an attack skill, restores 33 HP to the entire party, including the user.  Activates when after-images use skills as well, per after-image.
Heroic Bonds Lv6: When all party members' HP is above 75%, increases user's damage by 20% and action speed by 35%.
Heroic Steel Lv6: When party HP is below 50%, reduces party damage taken by 30%, and aggro by 20%.
Force Gift Lv3: Inflicts 307(369) melee cut damage to the target, increases the force of allies on the same line by 7%.  +5% Accuracy, 100% speed.
Retain Force Lv4: When the user's Force Boost times out, restore 25% Force gauge to the user

Five-turn average: Act Breaker->Act Breaker->Brave Heart+Act Breaker+Act Breaker(Afterimage)->Act Breaker(Afterimage)x2+Regiment Rave->Act Breaker(Afterimage)x2+Regiment Rave(Afterimage)+Regiment Rave = 2833.  If you see the afterimage Regiment Rave acting last, then the total is 2870.  Averages out to 2851.  Afterimages are actual bullshit here.

5-turn average: Double->(Hawk Strike x2)x4 for 1062 damage.  This runs the Ninja comparably dry.  Alternatively, some clever cloning shenanigans *can* lead to Double->Hawk Strike+Double->Double x3->Attack+Hawk Strike x5->Drawing Slice for a potential average of 2943, but this is impractical unless the opponent literally sits there and lets it happen; Ninja are frail and clones exponentially moreso, and uncovered mass cloning shenanigans can be ruined by the likes of mage staffwhacks.

Harvest Festival Lv10(28 TP): Inflicts 285 melee cut damage to all enemies.  If any enemies have binds, the damage increases to 997 and the attack has a 63.19% chance to instantly kill.  50% speed, -10% accuracy.
Share the Wealth Lv8(50 TP):Restores 25 TP to other members on the same row.

Tri-Death (10 TP): Inflicts 400 stab damage to the target with a 44.23% chance to instantly kill.  50% speed, -5% accuracy.

This is pretty much all of the duel-applicable skills for Farmer.  I have used 3/4 to 4/5 of the SP and this is *all* of the fight-applicable skills outside of Flee.

Five-turn average: Tri-Death x5 for 400.  I'm mildly disgusted that this is probably better in every relevant way than Sovereign.

Black Wave Lv4: While Miasma Armor is active at the end of a turn, the Harbinger regenerates 5 TP.
Status ATK Up Lv8: Infliction Rate +15%

5-turn damage average: Eroding Miasma->Wilting Miasma->Stifling Miasma->Ephemeral Reap x2 for an average of 465 damage.  Worth noting that with enough setup, a Harbinger can reasonably get to where they can spam full-damage Ephemeral Reap for a long while, but that will be a lot of turns setting up and stacking debuffs before that.

Thoughts on classes:

Hero: Hero is really nasty.  Its skillset does not look like much on paper, but after-images give them a disgusting force multiplier that is hard to deny.  The average dueller doesn't stand much of a chance either; pop Force Boost, go first with the speed boosts off of Heroic Bonds and Act Breaker and land stun, then clean up next turn with Miracle Edge and the guaranteed afterimage's own Act Breaker before the opponent can act.  Against those not stunnable, Hero's got a good shot of just eventually bulldozing the opponent down with a growing army of afterimages. Held in check by having the worst vulnerability to status in the cast, [EDIT] this is probably still not enough to keep them out of Low Godlike at the worst.  Being able to get a free first turn and snowball is way too good.

Protector Protector is very good at doing one thing: Not dying.  Between Shield Bash and Fortify, they can reduce average damage to a 9HKO, and Heal Guard increases that even more while healing them for non-negligible values.  The damage is never there, though.  Shield Fang can possibly boost their damage to 5HKO, but they don't really care when they make the opponent hit like a wet noodle.  They get access to the Sansageki, which means they have an instant death option for healers.  Turn 4 it may be, but with that durability and healing combo, they'll get enough free turns for it to land.  Pegging them as Middle/Heavy.

Medic: Most of the EON healers actually do have some teeth in a DL context, and Medic is no exception here.  Deja Vu+Healing will give them functional cheap and powerful regen for a lot of a fight, and Intensive Care helps when they need a heal to be fast.  Heavy Strike actually manages to just scrape a 3HKO to average without Star Drop's intervention.  Head Bash lets them assert their dominance over other healers as well.  They are, however, a bit squishy physically and their best damage will eat through their TP in a hurry.  Solid Middle.

Survivalist: In light of a second look-over and some new considerations, I had to redo this one. Survivalists are fast, and Blind Arrow is a weak turn 1 or strong turn 2 Blind pending on your interpretations.  Multiple routes to accuracy debuffs, and it is quite possible for them to spend a large portion of the match with coinflip evade.  Better than that if they can land Blind.  They have an answer to healers in Sagittarius, too; landing the stun on a turn with Double Shot sets them up to follow with Mirage Arrow for the kill next turn.  They fear ITE and tanky healers, but can make it in Middle.  If you allow Efficiency (and not everyone would), they add up to 60 shots (even under the harshest interps of inventory caps, 12 shots) of full healing to their kit, making them even more survivable, and possibly making it to Low Heavy.

Ronin Oh holy crap that damage.  Ronin has an extremely strong argument for being the gamebest dueller.  Hero can accomplish more over time, but if you allow Ronin to swap a point between Clear and Upper Stance as needed, they get the option of turn 1 disables off of enough durability to reduce average damage to a 4HKO, or initiative multitarget ITE OHKO with an instant death chance attached.  Duel gives it even more of a threat on even turns, if they need to punch around limits or overwhelm a healer. [EDIT] I'm realizing I undershot how gross this class is in retrospect.  Given everything, they feel like a solid Godlike, and perhaps the only one of the cast.

War Magus: In theory, War Magus is a rather unremarkable dueller.  Average durability, best damage hits average, kind of slow.  War Edge Power lets them get an opening salvo in, though, and that includes their ridiculously accurate binds, and equally strong debuffs.  Strength Slash takes average damage to a 4HKO, and Ailing Slash to a high 3HKO.  The healing is...not the greatest, though, in part due to its odd nature of being split into initiative and negative initiative components.  Still inclined to rate them as Middle; once War Edge Power wears off, they have to hope Random Disease lands.

Highlander: Highlander is...mean.  Bloody Offense makes Gae Bolg into an OHKO and most other moves into some variety of 2HKO, Delayed Charge works to pressure healers, *hard*, and Hero Battle gives them some healing off of their kit alongside even more damage.  They're a bit vulnerable to status, but otherwise are really solid given that they have that much raw physical durability and damage to throw around.  Heavy

Gunner: In-game, this is considered one of the best backline classes.  In a duel...well, they get 2HKO'ed by average physical damage, and are slow as hell.  This is mitigated by Double Action snipes, which are turn 1 binds that ignore evasion.  Their best damage requires either accuracy manipulation or leg binding to actually land, but it is viable.  Just...that durability and speed.  Light/Middle at best, no question.

Sovereign Raja-tastic Light.  They can't go all-in on their damage without sacrificing two of their buff slots.  Their best unconditional damage is an itemcast that does 12HKO damage unbuffed, or merely a high 9HKO buffed.  Even their best damage, which takes a turn to set up each time, is a high 4HKO.  The passive healing options may mitigate this in healer slapfights.  (Worth noting that they particularly shine in a team setting)

Ninja Block Sleep and Petrify, or be subject to the Chunky Salsa Rule.  A maxed out Drawing Slice does 3.72 PCHP, and the Ninja will have more than enough time to do that if either of those statuses lands.  Even aside from that, it has other status options to ruin anyone's day: they enjoy 90% evasion under Force Boost and also throw around Panic with little issue.  Against those who can block the variety of statuses...well, ditching the knives for Nihil Youtou and its respective itemcast is a surprisingly viable option, especially if they can have clones survive long enough.  Hard for me to say about where they stand overall, but I'm fairly confident they can swing Middle/Heavy.

Zodiac: Zodiac is simple.  Charge up, land OHKO damage off of Meteor.  Unfortunately, they kind of explode in two average hits that are likely to come out before theirs will.  Not much else to say.  Light.

Farmer: I hate Farmer.  Unfortunately, I'm forced to admit that they still have some competence in a duel setting.  Item Echo and Final Secret are useless in a duel (though if you allow items, Item Echo allows Farmers to be horrifying status-slingers), and their access to the Sansageki and own abilities mean they can throw out turn-3 instant death, and may actually survive long enough to do so.  I can't really rate them lower than Middle due to said ID.

Shogun: Shogun is...complicated to talk about.  It's worth noting that they generally are not going to benefit from half their skillset in a duel, which is entirely focused around getting the best out of a team.  As-is, though, they are still fairly competent.  Great Warrior will upgrade 5RS into a swingy 2HKO, and Unified Effort into a high one at that.  [EDIT]: Upon reassessment, Nihil Youtou's parasitic healing ultimately brings them to Heavy if you take the healing literally (it is nearly a full-heal off of raw).

Landsknecht: The horrifying Force Break damage returns, though in a hilariously indirect way here.  Landsknecht is an object lesson in why TB and ATB/CTB speeds don't sync up.  Vanguard's buff gives them 20x speed, Full Charge gives them 40x.  That aside, their listed speed is deceptive since they're not spending much time outside of Trinity in a given duel.  Full Charge alone can guarantee safe OHKO damage to average off of the next attack, so I can't help but give Landsknecht a tentative ranking of High Heavy.

Nightseeker: Hooo boy.  This one.  Nightseeker is equal parts status-slinger and spoiler here.  Shadow Cloak lets them just plain null a physical hit for amazingly cheap, and between Auto-Cloak and Enduring Cloak, they won't be locked.  If that wasn't enough, they have a disgusting variety of status that can be applied, fast, cheap, and especially if the Force Boost is up, reliably.  they lose out on Panic, but Blind, Sleep, and Paralysis are all good options, they have the strongest non-Force Break poison in the game (not saying much, that's still 5HKO poison), and the most applicable non-Force Break instant kill in the game.  They run out of options fast if they can't apply status, but the sheer variety of bullshit they can play with convinces me they're a solid Heavy

Arcanist: Looking at the numbers, I have to honestly reassess Arcanist here.  By raw numbers, Arcanist is pathetic.  However, the class does have Turn 1 Sleep by some interps (and by all interps under force break), and Turn 2 binds, both despite the abysmal base rates, and while poison cannot be applied to sleeping targets due to EO status hierarchy, binds absolutely can.  Sleep->Head/Arm Bind->Boost+Dismiss Blow x3 can be sufficient to get some wins in Light

Imperial: Even in the game itself, Imperial is a study in extremes.  Slow as hell, reasonably tanky (though as the astute may notice, not as much so as Highlander.  The Defense Up passives count for a lot), and the ability to threaten a one-two off of so much as Blood Edge into Accel Drive.  Charge Edge into Accel Drive is another big OHKO source, landing just short of 1.66x PCHP off of the latter hit.  However, Imperial is slow, inaccurate, and actually not that durable on Drive turns.  They have the option of slugging it out with Heavy Guard and Natural Edge->Blood Edge looping, but this hurts their damage.  They're one of my absolute favorite classes in-game, but here they only really amount to Middle.

Pugilist: Words do not describe just how hard Pugilists get carried by Final Blow.  ITE Initiative attack with a 100% rate of inflicting all three binds.  This allows them to then start throwing out Leading Blow for...well, 3HKO on a crippled target.  Their regular damage on someone they can't status?  An awe-inspiring...8HKO to average.  [EDIT] It's two disabling but non-fatal statuses at once but it is initiative, and is a strong pick against PCs.  I think I've seen worse status-slingers get into Heavy off of their game.

Harbinger: Okay, I did not expect much out of Harbinger.  Like Pugilist, their actually good damage takes setup and only measures about average at best.  Unlike Pugilist, their setup is a lot more reliable, and more than that, they have a lot of extra tricks to screw with people.  Miasma Armor gets a lot of rider effects that synergize together, and between Endless Shroud, Black Shroud, Black Wave, and Spirit Absorb, their debuff skills turn them into perpetual motion monsters, being able to restore roughly 1x PCHP's worth of damage at no cost, or even at a TP surplus if needed, renewing their Miasma Armor mechanic.  They have quite literally infinite healing that works off of their stat breaks.  Additionally, they have a not terrible selection of statuses to inflict; Paralysis, Blind, and Panic are all solid.  Their big weaknesses are only really that they can't damage race worth crap if needed, and even their statuses are turn 2 at best.  With that, I feel safe giving them a rank of High Heavy.  Their inability to deal with status is the only reason I don't see them going into Godlike.

Some notes on accuracy:

EO Nexus essentially uses a step function of sorts to determine accuracy, checking a ratio of the attacker's AGI/LUC (AGI having double weight here) to the target's.  Accuracy modifiers are essentially calculated as such:

1: Calculate base accuracy rate based on the ratio, as depicted below.  In the case of being between two values, it will typically round down to the lower of the two.

0.1x:53.2%
0.2x:69.4%
0.3x:79.5%
0.4x:86.4%
0.5x:91.4%
0.6x:94.9%
0.7x:97.3%
0.8x:98.8%
0.9x:99.7%
1x: 100%
1.1x: 121%
1.2x: 144%
1.3x: 169%
1.4x: 196%
1.5x: 225%
1.6x: 256%
...and so on.

2: Multiply this rate by the base accuracy of the weapon and skill being used (usually .99 to .95 for weapons, skills can vary wildly)
3: Add any effects from accuracy/evasion buffs/debuffs.
4: Cap the accuracy at 150% if it's above 150%.
5: Check if the attacker is blind.  If so, divide the current accuracy by 3,
6: Check if the target is suffering from a condition that disables evasion.  If they are, set accuracy to 100
Then roll to see if the attack hits.

This is mostly relevant for a few classes in this case; Survivalist, Ronin, Ninja, Nightseeker (Nightseeker in particular has a 235% accuracy mod, on top of their frankly disgusting speed.)

Update: Accel Drive is Cut/Almighty, not Almighty.  Doesn't really matter for Imperial's native skills but it does mean it can be buffed.
