Explaining the Live a Live Collab and Aerial/Cosmic Weapon - Octopath Traveler: CotC

[@urshikocotc]

It seems EN change the name of the Aerial Weapon to Cosmic Weapon...which is kind of weird consider Aerial was already in English

[@SakuraPottage]

Cosmic was the names of the Aerial (Ariel) Set in LAL Remake

[@0zRevolution]

Thanks for not forgetting us😊

[@Tony_409]

The Aerial dagger and fan seems useful since we only get 1 Bravely Fan and 1 Kurtz Badge

[@dodixaber8968]

I believe if the thief had built in +1 debuff duration like viola it wont stack. So... Very limited use

[@Tony_409]

@@dodixaber8968 I’ll probably give to Sarisa

Does anyone else think it sucks that the rest of the LAL protags aren't in this collab? I mean, characters like pogo and oboromaru would be right at home here, and pogo could've been the staff dps this game needs(since his weapon is a bone and all and he also has a healing skill so cleric would just right for him) though of course, there's the problem of assigning classes to the other characters like akira, someone who uses his fists and psychic powers to fight, and then there's cube who just a straight up robot, but I feel like they could've made it work, since someone like the sundown kid can be considered a hunter, and akira's kinda a scholar?and in LAL we never see the other protags interact too much with Odio, so they could've given them some other reason to go after odio outside of "we need to get home" in this collab, maybe have odio kidnap beru, ryoma, and other characters that are important to the other protags. Or maybe stick with the comrade plot they did with us and oersted and have them grow close to him like we did? And yes, I know balancing NINE whole characters is tough, but lets be honest, some of the characters we've gotten are broken as HELL so I don't see the problem with adding seven more characters that'll probably be as meh as streighbough. And if nine characters is really so hard, then at least REFERENCE THEM. Sorry about the long comment, I'm just kinda disappointed in the lack of representation of the rest game gets in this collab 😞

PLEEEEEASE tell me souls weapons systeme will be dropped some times in the futures. I can clearly see the how my daily CotC game time dropped after it was released.

[@spacecadet2172]

basically with the fortune board getting the ability to use 100 tickets at a time. You can farm it once or twice and get TONS of fortune chips. Then you can make all the fortune weapons you need. You don’t really need hell/soul weapons that much since the hell content isn’t that hard. I agree though that even the rolling for the weapon slots/souls is annoying and tedious but it’s not nearly as bad as actually having to grind elites or the fortune board

[@Ace_Angelo]

Tysm this was very helpful

[@lazarus1118]

Any other way to farm the materials for the aerial weapons?? I think I got some from the live a live hunts themselves.. Can't remember if I got them from chests, random enemy drops, Elite enemy drops or as a quest reward...

[@peterfabell154]

How to start the collab quests?

[@Zxcvbnmkj]

Time for another 232 days of weapon farming

[@dolgorukysvyatoslav]

or you can have fortune weapons and don't farm anything until the late Solistia)

so odio o at live a live collab part 2 ??

[@dodixaber8968]

Yes. There will be two parts of this collab. Considering they dont even buff these two units, it's questionable why they chose to obscure the other two.

The accessories in EN got changed it seems!

[@spencerpendley9583]

Just getting to know that the hunt lasts infinitely is enough for a like from me

[@catkaboodle]

I am flat-ass floored that there are people continuing to dismiss units in the GL version based on their JP versions after multiple units (ex: Roland) got buffed for GL. On top of that, Streibough covers *multiple elemental weaknesses* and is not a waste of time depending on the type of team you are trying to build. We're not all DPS fiends.

[@epzilon3836]

Streibough sucks lol

[@catkaboodle]

@@epzilon3836 Cyrus hits harder in 3 elements than Streibough does in 5, but having a character who can hit most of the elemental weaknesses in the game by themselves can be very useful in some situations. He is the kind of unit that gels well with how I play because I use teams that cover as many weaknesses as possible and switch to more specialized teams when I start having trouble.

[@epzilon3836]

@@catkaboodle you got 8 characters to cover most weaknesses mf you do not need streiboughs weak ass to do that lmao. Everybody has a general lineup you’re not special and let me tell you streibough aint in mine 💀💀💀

[@chhite7590]

I'm pretty sure that we actually are all DPS fiends. Having variety doesn't mean jack if you can't actually kill the boss before they kill you. Having a variety of attacks only really matters in the gimmick fights where they cycle between weaknesses, and don't have any common weaknesses between them.

[@catkaboodle]

@@chhite7590 My first successful fight against Tatloch took 2 hours and 45 minutes. She and my party were shaving health off each other the entire time. I did spend 30 rubies after her octopussy form got to 40% health (and she started throwing around her AOE charm more often) because it had been ~1 hour and 20 minutes and I wasn't going to go through the rest of the fight again. I'll admit that boss battle was a wakeup call. Right now I'm trying to incorporate more offensive power into my teams. The thing is, most of the story boss fights in Octopath are not that hard, so I get into the habit of fucking around (the team that beat BoW Ch1's boss fight was entirely composed of 3-star units) and only find out when I hit a difficulty cliff like Tatloch and her jester. Half the fun for me in this game is messing around with characters and classes that supposedly don't work-- if I was min-maxing all the time I would be bored to tears.

[@wanda5839]

how can I accede to the Icegrove Clearing for the quest origin?

[@lazarus1118]

It's north from emberglow slopes I think, the road near emberglow.
