I've just started the game (6 hours of gameplay) and looked to some guides, tips in the youtube channels...well must say your are simply amazing! you make me love this game every minute more...you gained a new subscriber and you make me wanna choose my future games form your videos list! :-) thanks dude

[@Metaphorics]

Dig the vibe man! I've been a long time Final Fantasy fan and recently fell out with gaming for bit. I came back by buying a switch and BoTW but I've been eyeing Bravely Default 2 and you're vids have been real cool to watch.

[@PoogieBoogie]

I'm happy you enjoy the video! This feels like old school Final Fantasy with more versatility making it more fun! As an old school FF fan myself, it's very enjoyable :)

The entire room is looking at me funny because I was shouting “turn on surpassing power!” At my screen for the first half of the video.

[@PoogieBoogie]

It's a great ability! I want to see how I can max that out too Any tips?

[@boebie5052]

@@PoogieBoogie increase ur speed stat to max. Since it does more dmg based on ur speed stat.

[@Starcat5]

Given that my own thread has only attracted the attention of someone who doesn't even know the answer to my question, let me ask you: Does Surpassing Power work with Skeleton Sellswords? I assume that they would, but it is better to have confirmation than to simply assume.

[@TheSexyFunTimes]

@@PoogieBoogie I did it with berserker sub freelancer, weapons are sword of light and vengeance, abilities are Critical Amp, Supassing Power, Full Force, Epic Group-cast and Limit Breaker. you need a bard and pictomancer ally for buffs, debuffs and paint. Hit them with Vent Fury (to further buff), Level Slash and 2x mimic. You can have pictomancer subbed to Phantom if you don't want to miss paint status.

[@stijnverswyvelt9416]

I liked swordmaster - vanguard: swordmaster second specialty gives subclass specialties if you dualwield weapons of the same type; so benefits from the massive atk boost from vanguard second specialty set up with fluid stance andfluid flow from swordmaster, can use enrage to be targeted by boss (and counters) and with red mage revenge passie you'll get good amount of bp to get neo strikes in rotation thrust and parry passive from salve maker goes nice with that too for dmg reduction on all the hits you'll take and rest of your party wont be targetted with single target counters if you keep enrage up a usefull healer has been salve maker - oracle use no weapons or shield for second salve maker passive and heal item amp and with wide item xpotions will heal all party for 5k and ethers will give whole party 320 mp free turns from the speed boost from not having any weapons or shield equipped you can use hastega on your other party members

[@PoogieBoogie]

Wow ,I love this strategy! Thank you for sharing :)

[@M1ster_S1R]

There were two ways in particular that I have been able to easily maximize on damage in Bravely Default II. Some of my favorite ones were in here but as I’ve seen they have required extensive set ups. The first way is an elemental build with the Red Mage. The gear isn’t THAT important but you obviously want to maximize your magic attack. Prioritizing luck is also good and you’ll see why. You should also dual wield staves to maximize your stats. As for skills, you’ll obviously want bigger numbers so equip Sub-Job Speciality 2 with freelancers as your secondary job (good for more magic attack and luck). Magic critical and critical amp for the increased damage that you’ll be doing (this is why luck will be your friend). Dual wield so that you are gaining the maximum value from your staves. And surpassing power because we’ll be dealing a LOT of damage (upwards to 30-40k crits without stat enhancements). The strategy doesn’t get much more complicated than using all your brave points and firing away with either Disaster, Quake, or Tornado. Chainspell will ensure that this build does maximum damage. Make whatever adjustments you think is necessary, this is rather rushed, so I know that there are ways to maximize the damage.

[@mysterycookie_]

Grats on 1k subs dude

[@PoogieBoogie]

Thanks! I can't wait to make more content!

[@runeblade6596]

One thing to keep in mind is that any attack buff, passive or active, is to the stat directly, and it can't go higher than 999, so anything involving vanguard likely doesn't need much extra buffing for example. Crit buffing and equipping is absolutely worth it imo since crit amp is a percentage buff to damage and you can get the crit stat pretty damn close to 100 allowing you to crit a majority of the time since the stat basically represents a percentage chance.

[@PoogieBoogie]

That is very true! I heard that the STR state does not surpass 999 and anything beyond it falls off. Crit is harder to max out so investing in crit abilities can be more advantageous. How are you enjoying Bravely Default 2 so far?

[@runeblade6596]

@@PoogieBoogie Oh I'm totally in love lmao! I'm taking on the portal bosses atm and these legendary classes are so good. Brave bearer salve-maker Gloria is carrying my team so much rn with across the board and advanced compounding. With sub-job specialty 2 for unencumbered she hands out bp real easily too. I wonder if advanced defense builds would be worth a video?

[@maaarkcruz]

Hellblade Ultima sword. Then use advanced compounding from salve maker use ether then 2 blooms to make elixir then hellblade Ultima sword again and another advanced compounding. As for abilities: surpassing power, the bravebearers all for one? Would enough. You could do 199,998 damage per character and no setup required

[@jk2782]

I also use that ability that increases damage done by the amount braved x10% That and bp saver and beatsmaster and something multihit or pressure point from monk, big numbers for big gains

[@TheRealPBJ]

I personally use beast master and berserker amped strike skill, does 24k each hit (as long as you have collected a bunch of mobs of course)

[@vitdn6169]

I do the same, and when you have the beastmaster ability to hit harder if use brave, my physical atkers hit 33 each time

[@novaangelus]

[@PoogieBoogie]

Thank you my friend and Thanks for the idea!

[@miestahacegawa7012]

So i tried something new and it yielded amazing results. This can be pretty much done on anyone. I tried it on elvis even though most of my buns went into magic attack. I made him a monk/hellblade for the high hp. Red mage hp/mp converter, maximise hp, surpassing power, sub job 1. With this combo i do 99999 damage with every hit of ultima blade. I use a staff for damage since monk has an A rank in it. Just something to try in your spare time

[@indumatipngtuber2790]

I just discovered Godspeed strike is already game-breakingly powerful and I haven't even gotten past Folie yet. I like to use Raw Power and MP Saver cuz Raw Power says I get an attack boost for each time I use the brave command. I even found the Brimstone Stallion, that drops the speed booster buns, and started grinding those cuz I heard it gets crazy once you get surpassing power and max speed.

[@PoogieBoogie]

That farming location is amazing or the speed buns! Thanks for the tip :)

[@indumatipngtuber2790]

@@PoogieBoogie Oh yeah. I know one that's also as good. In the tower where you fight Galahad, there's blue wolves called Hellhounds that also drop them as a rare drop. It's easy to chain encounters with them with beast flesh and get a lot. Of course, either location will get infinity better once you get the Thief's Gloves.

@@PoogieBoogie mate it’s absolutely awesome, doing a ton of grinding and about to do chapter. Your methods are helping fantastically.

[@maaarkcruz]

I don't know how some can do this but for a mage setup Ultimate magic attack build you need oracle? The job which can use triple. Then a bard, pictomancer, freelancer. For the oracle if possible red mage main, oracle sub job. As for abilities get those that can increase critical rates and magic critical from red mage. Plus surpassing power. Basically just buff your team's magic attack and debuff enemies magic defense. Then use wish upon a star for your redmage them let red mage use triplaga. It could hit maximum of 24 times

[@PoogieBoogie]

Whoa that sounds devastating! Thanks for sharing such a powerful strat :)

[@WiliantoMulti]

This game job combo is really good, anything can be OP af even as early as chapter 1, i just play the game for almost 20 hours and just finished chapter 1, all party level 21, got all jobs including gambler (card game is really fun), all jobs mastered, have the up to date equipments, i make my main job for all characters freelancer because of the late bloomer speciality 2. Its so op that i beat every bosses once i got to store 3 defaults for every characters and went for the offensive, because of late bloomer all my physical att, def, magical att, def are all almost 300, its so crazy op nothing can hurt my characters and they can hurt enemies badly. Beast master beast whisper also really good i always use it, as well as more money and 1 more passive both from gambler that increase the chance for enemies to drop rare items. Always use those 3. So money is no issue, rare items drops frequently and having healthy stocks of monsters to use, not to mention every monster catched increase every status by 1 for beastmaster job and the status increase is permanent.

[@Ikari-js7lv]

You can lock the enemy out of their turn with shut up and dance + bravebearer (main). Just shut up your teammate and yourself. Endless turns.

[@inkadence]

I like to use red mage/oracle I use elemental impairment to make them vulnerable to earth and spam disaster 8x for around 20k a pop on crits so long as they are not wind resistant. Indiscriminate rage works well with swordmaster/beastmaster solid stance turning your 4 hits to 8 on all targets for mobbing and can throw in multitask for free extra hits. Add critical flow and your usually full on BP every turn if your crit rate is high enough. I'm pretty sure who dares win will lower your crit rate if you have it high with base stats. Probably sets them to fixed amounts. Swordmaster/dragoon is funny to see them drop in and kill normal mobs in one hit with sky high. Like a slightly delayed obliterate.

[@PoogieBoogie]

Thanks for the comment! Those are awesome mob clearing tactics! Sounds really fun :)

[@darkdelusion]

You should figure out how to put the surpassing power from hell blade into this that allows you to break the 9999 cap in there

[@PoogieBoogie]

Oh, it's in there ;)

[@charliecarter2617]

You’re probably aware of Hell blades Ultima sword. So the set up is hell blade main salve maker sub (not needed but it’s fun). So you need across the board (bravebearer). Hp/mp converter (red mage). And a filler ability. So it’s very simple. Brave 3 times. Ultima sword > elixir > Ultima sword. Try have any armour or accessories that give you high hp. Happy 2 shotting most of the game

Does anyone know if Surpassing Power works with Skeleton Sellswords? Granted, all the time I spent leveling my Jobs and collecting Monsters has my levels in the 90s by the end of Chapter 2, and I need to change off of Beastmaster in order to use Booster Buns. That said, I can only assume that once I unlock Hellblade, there are still enough HP sponges left for these guys to still have a use.

R talking about USING the pet skeleton sellsword and asking if surpassing power applies to them. If so im not sure since i dont use pets. Good question tho

​@@boebie5052 The trick with the Skeleton Sellswords is that they do damage equal to half the enemy's current health, up to the damage cap.

At cLv 12, Beastmaster gains bonus stats based on how many monsters you have captured. Get 99 of each type of monster you come across (skipping monsters that only show up 1 or 2 at a time) and your Beastmasters will be God Tier well before the end of Chapter 2.

Questions: 1). Um, level 99? Got a strat for doing this at more realistic levels? 2). You don't mention how many beasts you have captured for the Beastmasters. Good ideas but you need to give a bit more info, especially for characters in that 60 or so range. Not max level. Kinda pointless to do any of this at max level.

[@PoogieBoogie]

These are the strats that were given to me from the community and strats that I used. These strats are not level dependent. Never the less, the strats still hold up if you try them out :) If you try some of the strategies from the video below, you'll notice that keeping track of the mobs captured would a tedious and arduous process. But, I do break down what you get for every mob to four mobs captured: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIe9YnZ7iN1mqc0
