Harry

[Jakuzi]

can anyone give me an idea of how much health he has?
I've done 50k and still he hasn't died

[Smufius]

I think it's close to 50k. Just keep hurting him with bleed and burn status and doing those skills instead of regular attacks. He's killable, I killed him just now and it didn't even take me that long.

[Lucky Kharms]

I've heard 99K, but haven't counted myself.

[Jakuzi]

still hasn't died after 95.5k
jeez maybe I'll just use joy or something
or maybe I'll just do this on my second run I dunno

[Freaky Mutant Man]

Tip: Use Joy liberally in the second half of the game. It doesn't affect the ending.

[Jakuzi]

yeah I guess I'll do that
the fight is all RNG anyway
will Harry attack? will he hit? will my firebombs actually burn him? will the burning last more than a single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ turn?
who knows, it's the magic of JRPGs
god I hate RNG

i suggest simply guard while it's bleeding. you'll only take 300-400 damage even it hits when guarding, so that's not a thing.

I'd rather build my TP

guarding gives you 4 TP. stabbing gives 5 TP, deals 100-200 damage at risk of 1k hp.
btw i think using joy is pointless in this fight as it's bleeding 1,980 hp each turn.

fair point

[Jakuzi]

it's without exaggeration the biggest ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on earth that a firebomb can deal anywhere between 2k and 20k damage

[Freaky Mutant Man]

Wait, a single firebomb hit can do 20k, or are you talking cumulatively with burn damage? Cause I never recall seeing a firebomb do that much with one hit.

[Jakuzi]

cumulatively with burn damage

[Freaky Mutant Man]

Ah, okay. Yeah, the firebomb RNG was kinda frustrating with Harry, but honestly I feel like he's the only fight where there's really a use for the firebombs; Joy does the job well enough with almost every other boss, and personally I only found myself using firebombs during the final battle when there wasn't any point holding onto them any more. Which makes failing to get Burning on Harry more frustrating, but I don't recall having any particular trouble with Harry beyond the length of the fight and burning a bit more Joy than usual. Keep trying and you should get through (not the best advice, I'll admit, but it's all I got at this point).

[Jakuzi]

it's just pure tedium relying on this RNG
this is why I don't play JRPGs
I really like Painful and Joyful when I'm not in a fight but when I am I just phase out for the length of the fight, waiting til I can explore interesting things again

[Freaky Mutant Man]

At least the fight music's rad!
