Arena battle videos and discussion

[logus]

same here. I'm quite excited at the changes, since they all seem great. Just a question: does the removal of "holy" property from cure etc make such spells useless against undead or just less effective?

[Melancthon]

Alright, here's a party I'd been toying with.  I'll probably come up with a new one soon to try out some more of the "equip X" abilities, but this will do for now:

Team Notes
Bussard is my point man, and secondary healer/cleanser/reviver. his axe will deal from 252 upwards to 480 points of damage per swing (before brave modifiers).

Guy is my heritic hunter, he is supposed to run around spamming jutsus on low-faith units

Joanne is my witch hunter, she is supposed to run around spamming Dia/Black Magic on high-faith units

Blacksunne is my primary healer/cleanser/reviver, and the only non-paladin unit on the team. Built to resist status effects and evade attacks.

[FFMaster]

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention. Please leave monsters out for now.

Removing Holy element just makes it less effective against undead, and you can't boost with 108 gems.

[Squidgy]

A team for testing!... well, I guess the Oracle and Thief are boring units. Oracle would never Draw Out though, even when poisoned and holding Masamune so I had to make her boring.

Well, at least blocking Draw Out sorta made it less scary. Would've owned my team if it wasn't for lucky status hits at the end.

spoiler: vs Shade:1e60dy4s

I'm betting map choice (and a lucky steal heart) did those chemists in... but awesome music again.

FFM: Is there a way for my Ninjas to sing the whole time unless my Wizard or Priest are in critical then they should start healing?

Thank you for all your work

[Shade]

My chemists must be stupid or something, one they rushed to attack(they did not even attack) for no parent reason, two why did that other chemist heal itself when she was on critical?

My pride on my team was taken....

[Melancthon]

Please excuse me for being a total idiot.  Do NOT give that unit Counter, just drop Steal Heart and make it even.  Here is the team I would actually like to be using.

I'm officially ditching Slow Dance for Nameless Song since it got nerfed to 20%, but the team still functions as intended with the weakened Slow Dance, so feel free to run it that way if you want to test.

Shade, you have three Blood Swords, and Blood Swords can't be Two Sworded.
