Ninja Girl Nerfed Stats

[Judge Cudge]

The Ninja girl, despite being scaled to your level does not seem to have the stat total she should have given she is supposed to be equivalent.

Specifically she seems to be missing the bonus stat total she should have acquired as she leveled up with the party from day one.

Maybe I'm miscounting, but this would leave her permanently at a disadvantage, and not a minor one.

If this is a problem, I hope it get's fixed. Her being gimped by an oversight is unacceptable.

What's your proof? Bonus stats obtained while not in your party are distributed on their own.

From HyperT's initial post on his website,

• Valere & Garl can only invest in M.ATK 4 times.
  
• Zale & Fifth can only invest in ATK 4 times.
  
• Seraï & Sixth can only invest in MP 4 times.
  
• Otherwise, they can invest in the other 5 stats 5 times each for all 29 bonus stats (but realistically you will finish the game at Lv. 20 ~ 22).

Seraï joined me at Lv. 7, and I currently have her at Lv. 28 (serious grinding and NG+).
I was able to put 3/4 levels into MP before it disappeared completely from bonus stat allocation.
3/5 levels in ATK before it disappeared.
5/5 levels in M.ATK before it disappeared, leaving only 3 stats to choose from.
3/5 levels into HP before it disappeared, leaving only 2 stats to choose from.
5/5 levels into DEF before it disappeared, leaving only M.DEF to choose from.
For Lv. 27 and 28, I could only choose M.DEF as my bonus stat (2/5).
So that means from Lv. 2 ~ 7 (6 levels total), 1 level was used on MP, 2 levels on ATK, 2 levels on HP, and the final level on M.DEF. For my remaining 2 levels 29 and 30, I can only cap out the remaining 2 investments into M.DEF.

I have no proof, I just noticed her being substantially weaker and assumed this while hoping I was mistaken.

If you have genuinely crunched the numbers and she is equivalent then I apparently was.
But I have her at level 7, which is exactly when I got her, and she feels roughly the amount of stats behind that she would be absent of the per level bonus stats.
Maybe the weapon she starts with is just 14 attack behind or something.

She isn't missing the level boosts... she's just generally not the strongest party member in any specific stat. She makes up for it with her versatility, later equipment, and delaying ability.

That's a shame considering she is cool. Garl is at least a brick ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ invincible OP healer. Ninja girl seems just like a weaker Valere.

Serai shines once you get the ship as she is the first to get an ultimate. here skills keep her relevant as her stats do lag behind the rest.

She lags a bit in other stats, but even after B'st gets Perfect Glass Fist upgrade at Lv30, she still has the second highest phys ATK stat in the game (Valere being #1, assuming everyone has Mirth stat upgrades and last weapon/armor).

So she's #1 in raw damage for low investment if anything is weak to slashing or poison. 2/6.

There's only 4 combos in the game that lock 3 different damage types. Seraï is part of 3 of those combos.

She may be the only character with no heal/revive/buff, but she has a skill and a combo that both delay turns, which is often much better and also makes all locks easier.

Then there's the money printer.

Her uses were the least obvious to me at first, but she ended up being my most used character. And that says a lot considering how much I need to abuse Lunar Shield because I'm still bad at timing defenses on many bosses and my preferred way to play is to die a lot with AG, DD, no positive relics and no gold accessories. Dark Souls ftw. Or ftl.
