Final Fantasy Hacktics

I like how Barren matches up teams.
Laptop kicked the bucket today. Never got to submit my updated teams. Just wanted to fish trout and kill chickens. I'll be back in a month.

Not enjoying innocent being 100%, but I'm not hating it. I get to bring back my anti caster team FFEleven probably thanks to it.

You're doing God's work formerdeathcorps.

Not a fan of random stat procs on a weapon. It's always a problem when RNG conveniently adds the perfect status for the situation. Kagesougi should never be on a weapon. For the Gastrophetes, I could see it being the Gold Staff or Chaos Blade of crossbows. It could have the exact same stats, but with the 100% dispel effect. It's the most fitting effect for the weapon historically.

Gastrophetes: 16 WP, 0 W-EV, 5 Range, Force Two-Hands
Gastrophetes: 16 WP, 0 W-EV, 4 Range, Force Two-Hands, 100% Cancel on hit: All positive statii


For Bowgun in 139 exclusively, I've tested to see if it worked using 8 female units with worst compat and tanking gear. 20 something attacks in and everyone was still wearing armor. So it's broken in the literal sense at the moment.
I don't agree with your auto crossbow suggestion in the slightest either. Seems like an easy way to benefit from 25% Haste. Archer has a default speed of 9, Paired with +3 from your Auto Crossbow, and Zephyr Shield and we're looking at an easy 12 speed from hand equipment alone. +3 Speed with Haste. You could even get 15 speed with Secret Clothes, Thief Hat, and Sprint shoes. On anything but a cramped map like the pub, and you could have a 16 speed unit with +4 from haste from a song or quickening. That's a bit ridiculous having 20 speed in the first turn. Ridiculous.

For Bowgun, I do agree on it being reworked and renamed. I recommended having a tactical-like crossbow with +move and jump in a previous post. When I read "Auto Crossbow" I think of rapid fire. When I think rapid fire I think of the dual cutters.  Giving BowGun or "Auto Crossbow" the old 1.3 proc sounds a lot less harmful than a 50% armor break since that's permanent damage, and an extra attack. Suggestions

Bow-Gun --> Auto-Crossbow: 7-8 WP, 0% W-EV, 4 Range 50% Chance of Extra Attack

Bow-Gun --> Scout's Crossbow: 8 WP, 0% W-EV, 4 Range +1 Move, + 1 Jump
Bow-Gun --> Scout's Crossbow: 8 WP, 0% W-EV, 5 Range +1 Move, + 1 Jump



Clothes definitely the worst melee weapon class at the moment. Not only because of the horrible stats that can be dispelled, but because Dancers can use superior weapons.

Persia: 12 WP, 10 W-EV, 2 Range Initial: Protect
Cashmere 12 WP, 10 W-EV, 2 Range Initial: Shell
Ryozan Cloth 12 WP, 10 W-EV, 2 Range Initial: Reflect

To

Persia: 12 WP, 10 W-EV, 2 Range, 50% Chance of Knockback
Cashmere 10 WP, 40 W-EV, 2 Range
Cashmere 12 WP, 10 W-EV, 2 Range, 50% Cancel Performing/Casting
Ryozan Cloth 12 WP, 10 W-EV, 2 Range Initial: Haste
(Wouldn't Hurt to give a cloth speed and haste since it's 2hand.

I watched Iron Monkey recently after many years and thought about giving a cloth 3 range. Then I realized giving it knockback would be just as good or even more powerful. Heck 100% Knockback wouldn't hurt. [joke]Maybe give cloth a boost from Martial Arts?[/joke]

What's the point in keeping bowgun in the game if it has no use? Having armor break isn't overpowered in the slightest, but maybe the percentage could be lowered to 33%. The proc can still be blocked right? Why not go the long bow route and give it more range and move? Maybe a tactical crossbow. Same stats, but move, jump, and 5 more W-Ev.

Gastrophetes needs a WP or range buff. It's a 2 handed crossbow that can do less damage than a one hander with a genji shield. Giving it 5 range or an additional 1-2 WP seems fair when you look at the damage.

Bow Gun's Armor break proc doesn't work.  Doesn't seem to have a proc actually.

Really want to see Reinoe's new mime team against a slow team. Utilizes the Mime weapon bug really well.

Had a PA boosted Mime with a Save the Queen equipped. It got stuck using a harp for several turns because everyone else was either sleeping or paralyzed. That's not supposed to happen is it? So far whenever he copies a normal attack it gets stuck with someone elses weapon never to use his own.

How does Mime's Attack command work? Does it make equip weapon supports useless outside of stat and other benefits like element strengthening?

Does Singing and Dancing benefit from Short Charge?

Edited in all the equipment and class changes.

If anyone knows how to edit the yellow boxs in this pic I'll send them the file to finish. Until then I'll be slowly figuring out how to update the last part.

Pretty angry teams overall. Don't know why Shintroy's team was so defensive round 1. I know the Ninja was because he had Item skillset though.

Could we keep phoenix blade and, like the new Masamune, replace always slow and immunity to haste with the same negatives to speed? Minus 4 to 6 speed sounds balanced. It was a really good singing sword. Bard always got cheer songs off without wasting turns recasting. You're also affected by slow more.

Won't a 139 Equip Knightsword Thief now end up being stronger than the 138 Katar 2hand Thief?

Salty Rage always berserk? GG Mime.
Can finally make a spear wielding Samurai I always wanted, but didn't want to put any effort into making.

Where can I see the change list for the next version?

Getting back into arena recently and I was beginning to lose my way until I read this. I forgot about sticking to a plan or theme. I kept trying to make my team balanced by adding in unnecessary tools.
Pretty embarrassing to have a team you made in 30 minutes, themed after the power rangers best an uncapped JP limit team that's supposed to counter teams with no strength.

It wasn't even a green or white ranger team. Just a s1 red ranger team. To be honest I didn't realize melee units needed 4 move even though I chose geomancer as the red ranger for his mobility. I'm going to post that team after the update if I don't have to change anything like equipment.

Is the JP limit still 3000? Why do some teams cap near 5000 JP?

Grand Finals was sick by the way. The first set was extremely one sided in the underdog's team favor.

Ah I got it, thanks.
Looking forward to the next patch too. In the mean time, ill be getting handled by teams tha weren't benefiting off move hp up.
