Release line recommendation

[MaChao]

I'm just about hitting the end of the game and, truth be told, i largely ignored the release line so far. I threw my red seeds onto Adol, the blue ones onto Karja with the occasional yellow one here and there.

Any idea how to make the most of it without grinding mindlessly for rainbows?

[Super Moogle]

I just threw as many blue seeds onto Adol as possible that stacked defense with +0.5% damage reduction, ended up with 32% passive damage reduction, almost 1000 defense, an extra 30% damage reduction from mana shield during mana burst, another 20% damage reduction against griegr, 2% life leech, and up to 30% extra damage reduction from sapphire hearts. It basically makes you immortal as long as you keep attacking even against bosses.

The way I see it, the Mettle benefits are already so overpowered that it's beyond overkill to go full rainbow seeds.

I don't know most optimal seeds, but after finishing the game on nightmare, I'd say just go all in on offensive stats. Specially if you are playing on any difficulty below the hardest or know how to press dodge / guard once in a while.

You can see descriptions of for each passive ability later anyway:
- Red seeds are high HP damage infliction oriented.
- Blue seeds are high HP damage reduction oriented.
- Yellow seeds are more mixed utility things.
- Black seeds are damage infliction oriented for low HP and low DEF playstyle with some status ailment things.

I never tested how much higher BRK stat benefits you in relevant fights, but girl has higher BRK gear by default, while red hair has higher ATK gear by default.

if you cant do rainbow do red seeds if you cant to red seeds do yellow seeds if you cant do yellow seeds do blue.

ignore black seeds. base regeneration is too high so even with skill spam you leave the critical damage zone that activates black seed perks


so Rainbow>Red>Yellow>Blue------------------------------------->black

to go a bit further.

Rainbow gets access to all 3 of the skill sheet colour buffs making even thought they only give 1-3 stats based on tier they are the best option by far. Rainbow + boosts percentage stats (all of them)

Red is attacks. more damage is good more crits is good

yellow is resource management. good for grinding assistance and the sp cost reductions are nice

Blue is defence. largely unnecessary because potions and lunchboxes are a thing.

Black is Trade. You Trade Defence for damage and bonuses at critical hp. while this will give the most dps out of the 4 kinds it also makes you a glass cannon that wants to stay 1 hit from death.

Thanks for you replies, but i'm aware how the mechanic works.
I'm more asking if there is any consensus in how to *effectively* make use of it without min/maxing too much.

and only put singular colours in each tier. mixing breaks the bonus sheet thing

but as stated if you can slot a rainbow slot a rainbow ( they even keep the skill sheet chain going for the individual colours)

if you cant then go red > Yellow > Blue and if you somehow run out of normal seeds slot a black one
