OP factors - HP drain

[Powersword]

There’s plenty of interesting combinations in this version. But by far the HP drain is ridiculously too powerful. Claude with Aurora blade with a factor of 10% HP drain has him healing himself 1000s of hp per combo. Any others like this? Also still don’t get the remaking thing at all…

The very maximum in OP in this game is to use the bloody helmet with MP leech on your weapon. You're invincible as long as you got MP, and since you leech MP, do the math.

it's dropped all over nede overworld, though bloody armor/helm is kind of a crutch, and will make you approach the game vastly differently than you would otherwise. I'd recommend against using it and just breaking the game in other, more reasonable ways. c:

I remember one of the strategies of beating the final boss with their powers unlocked was to use the bloody armor set along with some other accessories. Yes you had your HP drained but you dished out damage so fast that the boss died very fast.

bloody helmet and mp leech? nah just use bloody armor with hp leech. afterall you have way more hp than mp (9999 vs 999) and you leech way more hp with the 20% hp drain. there are also better items/ways to heal up your hp if you get a dry spell of dmg so you're not leeching.

at that point all you need to do is focus on damage via dmg, crits, break etc. everything can be focused this way, because you also don't need to worry about status ailments or anything.

yes its pretty cheesy but i enjoy it. a full party that can use bloody armor is nutty. like claude, ashton, chisato and welch

the girls also can use earring of frenzy which gives +200% atk dmg. that with zerker ring is bonkers damage for them with their better weapons.

also, speaking about weapons, some weapons are deceptively better than others depending on what you're doing. there are some weapons that add +1 or more attacks, which is great if you have them set to not use MP

You get the best of both worlds if you run MP leech with the bloody helmet, you're invincible, and don't need to worry about HP, and you get infinite MP to spam killer moves with.

If you get a dry spell with bloody helm and MP leech, it doesn't kill you, and landing 1 normal attack gets all your MP back. Also, berries? Other MP recovery items for which there are many?

You can also run 1hp with the Levantine Sword which does more damage the lower your HP is.

MP Drain and Bloody Helm is definitely better. If you ever hit a "dry spell", just pop a Potion of Reversal.
