Hi nyarly, as someone who beats hardtype (the even harder, modded version of nocturne) I suggest you try and grind more. Max health is very important in hard difficulty, and also you should try and fuse life bonus and things like that, as well as life drain and elemental resistances. You can find life drain with Incubus and Succubus. You might think Daisoujou with meditation will do, but actually you can use life drain on others to give you more opportunities to deal damage. Only two demons were hit? Well, let them use life drain for chip damage and heal themselves, and Daisoujou can just hit enemy too since he doesn't need to spend the turn to heal. Elemental resistances in general, even if its only "Res" and not null or repel, is still excellent because reduced damage means more breathing room. And since you're in the fourth kalpa already, I think its also possible to fuse some null elements too. (Also, I think kikuri-hime has anti-ailment as one of her skills? Maybe you can do a fusion chain to let others learn it.

I did a no buff/debuff run a few weeks ago, it was pretty fun (it's on my channel if you're curious). I'm a bit confused on some of your strategies (for example, why not use Iyomante magatama for Daisoujou and Mizuchi?), but its cool to see some of the route differences. I didn't bother with TDE since Lucy will require way too much luck grinding; I wish you luck with that.

As steep as the difficulty curve is for Nocturne, I did find myself enjoying the heavy focus on buffs and debuffs as well as how a turn can be reused if a critical hit is made or weakness is attacked.

How tho when the guy was living in the past? Haven't you played any Devil Summoner game? And Even though I haven't played the 1st game, the 2nd title looks better aka Raidou Kuzunoha vs Soulless Army, or Raidou Kuzunoha vs King Abaddon, the king Abaddon version is a sequel to the previous one, and currently am playing the soulless army version, an Action Shin Megami Tensei Title, the game is just amazing 10+ hours in and I can tell already why would atlus favor him instead of any other smt protagonist.

Worst thing about MegaTen: Aliment Moves missing when the enemy is immune to them. Since honestly, unless you're so jaded that you figure Aliments will never work or you just give up, chances are that someone will attempt to inflict the status a number of times to no results. Seriously, just have it say "Blocked" or something to that effect instead of giving a false hope that it might work

There's literally a resistance called Void/Null (along with Repel and Drain), and you can have Ailments as a whole Nulled with a certain Magatama. There's no reason why it can't just say "Null" if you use an Ailment on an Ailment-Immune enemy. The only excuse I can think of is that Ailment isn't an attack type, rather something typically tied to Curse, Mind, and Nerve attacks (a good amount of which don't do damage and are JUST ailment moves).
@IsaacClodfelter3 жыл бұрын
@@espurrseyes42 I have no clue if this is true but if I had to guess the game runs rolls the die for if the ailment hits before checking immunities, resulting in all the misses that should just be null, then if you hit you get the immune damage result. This has upset me as well because it has killed me in boss fights before.

Fire emblem games have good buffs, at least 6 and 7 do, as far as I know, small boosts to stats make a big difference in those games, and they can last awhile depending on the buff (dancer buffs are 1 turn but holy water res buff lasts awhile, weakens over time) either way, each combat REALLY matters in fe6/7 (at least on the harder difficulties ) and buffs help a ton, especially in an Ironman

Raidou it's actually more of an improved version of Dante instead of a character that pretty much has the same moveset as Dante with a different animation. The movesets are sure similar but there is subtle differences that makes the character a lot better like Raidou's Raidou the Aeon, Passive skill that Multiplies equipper's all damage dealt by 1.5 and all physical/ phys-almighty attacks bypass target's most resistances except for repel. Outright a superior version of Son's Oath that has Physical Pierce basically making Raidou actually useful for endgame bosses including Lucifer. Weird how the Shin Megami Tensei Wiki translated his moveset yet I it was translated before someone actually translated the final version of Nocturne?
