Varkyn vs Odette - Octopath Traveler: CotC

[@TeucentGaming]

PSA *Varkyn has Dark Res+20% Light Res+10% not Fire&Ice Res.* (Sorry, this was an error on my part where I thought I had updated the slide before making the video and then didn't catch it) Oh forgot to mention his Awakening Accessory & awakenings are not available yet. Brain malfunctioned on me. However opinions still stand for when it is released. In the video I said farmable from arena I misspoke it's that they are farmable from job towers. A feature not yet released. Though I expect it soon.

Odette! She really is great. I can't wait to beat the tourneys and get a few more characters added to my roster. Hopefully in the coming week or two!

I have odette and her passive when it procs is just insane, she deals so much damage, she's the one unit I never regret spending gems on, she can nuke all day and never have mana problems if you have her accessory

Unless I missed something, Varkyn’s awakenings aren’t grindable in the arena. I was under the impression that we had to wait for the job towers to do that. Which kinda changes the entire analysis. Instead of giving Varkyn an advantage because his awakenings are free, we need to give him a disadvantage because it’s impossible to awaken him atm

[@TeucentGaming]

Sorry. Check pinned comment. I missed stating they aren't available yet. The point was they will be free to grind when job towers come. And Odette, well she's only from the limited reoccurring. 🙄 So yes bit of a disadvantage today, but Odette isn't available today either.

Before the start of the video: Let me just say: It's not a contest. Varkyn has passable damage. But he's mostly an enabler. Edea can actually out damage him right now. And Eliza, Agnes and Hasumi are not that far behind. Odette however is both an enabler AND damage dealer. - The rest of the comment is written after watching => If he's your only option. Again he's passable... But he just really shines while enabling for someone else like Odette, Edea or Eliza once she has a proper magic sword. I personally suggest dropping their tome skills. These skills are seldom useful. You don't bring a scholar for tome skills. If you need to break for tome... you bring a Thief with shield crack at that point. It'll be much more efficient. A few exceptions exist when they have additional effects like Sofia's has a 15% mdef down. And if you don't have Viola, that gains a ton of value. But otherwise they're just kinda "there" My Varkyn will have his 3 Hit Random + Light Res Down, 3 Hit ST and 1 Hit AoE - Once he's A2 from job tower. I'll take his Mag Down/Mdef down. Because of Viola I don't need to boost this, just throw it out once to max out her debuffs and let her maintain it easily. For accessories, I think my focus will be magic or magic/speed. He's a scholar so his naturally high SP makes SP regen fairly easy to manage. Once we get job tower, he'll probably keep his acc for light content though. But lot of people can make use of it. My Odette has her 3 Hit Random + Light Res Down, 1 Hit Nuke, 2 Hit AoE - If I ever get her A2, she'll take Analyze All in slot 4 for lack of something better. (Or for roaming around she'll run both AoE's + 3 Hit + Res Down's) For accessories. Raw Magic. She is after all a DPS =D

Odette

The accessory you talked about, for Varkyn, is not obtainable at the moment. Only the Exclusive accessory is available which gives him SP reduction.

[@TeucentGaming]

Right meant to make note of that. I'll pin this.

I got her in 20 pulls (+Scarecrow, Tressa, Viola) So far she my best light & wind magic user on my account beating Varkyn & Tikilen (at the same they both FREE that makes them great value)

[@esterification1996]

you give wrong info, Teucent. Varkyn has Dark Res+20% Light Res+10% not Fire&Ice Res.

[@TeucentGaming]

f me.. you're right thanks for catching it. I guess I didn't get that slide updated correctly and then didn't catch it editing

[@christianyumang1528]

Odette easy

[@TeucentGaming]

I really wish I had her. ;(

[@christianyumang1528]

@@TeucentGaming next sacred blaze you’ll pull her on the first try!

[@aiox82]

I'm so glad I pulled on her. She does so much work!

[@giveuscyrus534]

?? It takes 5 seconds to realize Odette is better lol

[@TeucentGaming]

4.5 if you're really trying kekw.. but really many out there aren't as knowledgeable about such things and like to see things broken down to understand why. Granted I fully understand that someone could look at the thumbnail and but like "Odette.. Pass" which is fine.. Can't make videos that appeal to everyone :)

[@ChrisZ901]

Just beat Glossom yesterday on 2nd try, going to try to beat this guy this week. By the way, Odette all day long :) My waifu is unstoppable

[@TeucentGaming]

:) I knew my Odette lovers wouldn't let me down.
