Help Me Build The Job Guide!

[ColonelGuy5509]

Hey there! If you played the last game, you might remember me as the guy who did the Job guide. And I want to do one for this game...and for those who have played the game, you might realize how big of a task this is.

I would have to remark about ALL of the skills, because they can be used with any other job. There's far more building here, thanks to the much more diverse skills, weapons and the branding! Good lord! I've been busy with my job and other stuff and haven't been playing this game as much as I want...

...and I have close to 80 hours in this game. I'm only in Chapter 9. I have finished up Dondoko Island and the Sujimon stuff...but good lord, this is a mountain of content. It's like the ultimate dessert. Slices of red velvet cake, blueberries, strawberries, candy cherries, raspberries, root beer, chocolate sauce, and peanut-butter cups. I want MOAR!

So I need you guys help in recognizing what skills are awesome, are decent for certain stretches of the game, and the ones that you should ditch. Clarifications, easier way of gaining money and materials (why are geodes so damn rare in the dungeons) and which jobs are ideal for the characters.

YOU WILL BE CREDITED IF YOUR INFORMATION IS CORRECT! I will test what I can when I can. Posting misinformation will result me in making fun of you, either here or in the guide itself.

Messaggio originale di valium:

Saeko: Housekeeper. Tied with Dragon of Dojima as the most overpowered job in the game. Amazingly good moveset, insanely good 7 star weapon and excellent job specific armor. Weapon has the "boosts damage to enemy weaknesses" modifier, best in the game. Armor has a chance of increasing magic each turn, extremely good. Magical Concert, Kumu Hula Corkscrew, Blossoming Uliuli. Doesnt even matter what the other inherited skills are.

I think that she is potentially the strongest Magic user as a Geodancer due to Geodancer's armor perk, Geodancer having higher magic stat than Housekeeper and Saeko's base magic stat which is the highest among the three ladies.

Housekeeper's weapon sounds good on paper, but the ladies don't really have electricity magic they can use to match. Seonhee has electricity magic as her unique Essence skill but her magic stat is low. They can inherit physical skills with elec secondary but housekeeper has a really low attack stat so it's not as effective. Meanwhile Geodancer's armor boosts all magic, not just the weakness matching ones.

Messaggio originale di valium:

Gangster has better physical stats and a vastly superior moveset for damage dealing than Breaker.

That they do, but their skills are split between blunt and blade. Meanwhile Breaker damage is all blunt so you can easily boost all their attacks with the blunt seal and/or the accessory.

You can always just stick to blade attacks, which enemies will actually be weak against, and with his weapon, nothing will resist.

Veteran Detective's Jacket/Adachi's ex armor works with the self damage from Essence of Masked Medium (Pyrodancer). But the MP recovered seems to be a mere 3% of max MP, which is about 10 MP at lvl 57. Another build idea into the trash bin.

Messaggio originale di Y8S8:

HOW TO USE ENDGAME BREAKER:
1. Craft their ultimate weapon (returns MP when buffed, about 45MP @ maxMP 300)
2. Inherit Essence of Sengoku OR Essence of Showboating (Guarantees 1 buff)
3. Equip Brawler Mouthguard (reduces both Essence to 48 MP)
4. SPAM that ESSENCE every turn
and... well honestly the damage isn't anything spectacular because both essences are only Heavy tier AOEs, but Showboating gives everyone defense buffs so there's that.
*Essence moves don't work on non-humanoid enemies and bosses

Also if you're ever low on MP with Breaker, use Glory Awaits since it returns double the rate which is around 15% of max MP per buff.

Bumping this thread as I just got to the endgame. Thanks for his tip!

I'll try it out. I've already done this with Chitose's Ultimate armour, which provides the same ability. Totally forgot Breaker's ultimate weapon had this MP recovery ability.

Seeonhee as a Kunoichi is pretty good:

1. Equip Pareo of Happiness (HP when you receive a buff)
2. Equip her exclusive armor (Agility buff each turn)
3. Use skills like Winged Kunai/Scattering of Flowers or any others that buff agility (Throatslitter is a good guaranteed buff if there's someone low on health).
4. When agility is maxed out, unleah Shadow Clone Jutsu on a single target for high damage

She keeps going due to the HP buffing and the agility buffs quickly max her out to re-use Shadow Clone Jutsu. Chitose can do the same, although her exclusive armor gives MP when you receive a buff so it's not as fast to build as Seeonhee

Ah, nice tip, thank you!
