Kei OP?

[Kelfezond]

So I've never played any of these games before, about 2 hours into the game now and I've finally got around to giving the Kei character a go, think she came from a DLC?

She's hitting for 4 times as much as Neptune is, and she takes 0 damage whenever she's hit .... Feels like I've broken the game, what's going on?

All of the Oracles are OP (Kei, Mina, Chika and lastly Histoire who appears much later in the game).

I feel I may be misunderstanding the point ... why wouldn't I just use them and breeze through the game?

No one is stopping you from using them and I'm surprised you figured this out very quickly compared to the others on the discussion board.

They were recently added in Sept 2018 so they weren't always available but they will make the game MUCH easier without needing to grind at all or having to cry on the discussion board daily because X boss kicked your @ss.

The DLC characters are the type of DLC that makes the game easier to just breeze through it in this series usually. I vaguely remember Peashy and Plutia being rather balanced, the only thing that would make them OP is the fact that they have a transformation giving them that stat boost from their processor sets.

Play however you like. Naturally not everyone plays for the "challenge".

When people dismiss games as too easy and only for the casuls based upon completely optional stuff like an OP DLC or bug exploit or a minmaxed character build, it's just dumb.

I haven't played the game with the Oracles yet so I don't know how powerful they are in this game. In Re;Birth3 they are overpowered because they are post-game content straight up ported over from Re;Birth2. Well all of the DLC characters in that game are all over the place power-wise because they are too ported from Re;Birth2 and those characters join at various parts of the story so their starting equipment is not all balanced to the part they become available in Re;Birth3. Oh by the way in Re;Birth3 the DLC characters have their own stories you can expect their events popping up in every chapter.

I see, so the general idea was to get these characters later in the game. I'll switch them out and just rely on them when I'm getting destroyed by some boss xD

The Oracles (minus Histoire) were released in Re;Birth1+ which came out on PS4 last year. Since it would be stupid to re-release the same game again, IFI decided to add them as DLC for the PC release. They were added to make the game much easier for those who don't want to grind and just want to enjoy the story.

It's not really that they're OP. It's that they come with equipment that's on par with gear you'd have much MUCH later in the game which makes them early game crutch characters.

Early on, this makes them essentially invincible characters that rain doom upon your opponents with utter ease. By the time you've reached the end of the game, they'll have become fairly average if not slightly below average because their weapons don't catch up to what you can get your other characters via the Colosseum (or the strength of DLC area weapons/armor if you have that available).


If you really want to challenge yourself but without ignoring them, use the oracles purely for bosses that instantly kill your normal party to unlock plans for various areas you wouldn't otherwise be able to enter, then swap them back out for the normal characters as you go through the areas. Not only will that give you a bit of a difficulty curve, but you'll also wind up overall stronger for the main story itself as well as have a better grasp of the game from being used to battles where you're in over your head, so to speak.
