Misfits Party Final fight

[bblecot]

Does anyone have a suggested approximate level to try the final fight with a Misfits group? I expect that maxing heals as much as possible as well as upping summon demon and summon golem will be helpful. I don't have a problem grinding out more levels (am at 100 now) but I would rather not go through the long fight too many times just to find that I should have been grinding out a lot more levels. I failed on the fight with previous groups enough so I am trying to cut down on my fails a bit - lol.
I am really wanting to play around with the Symbiant birth feat with a few character combinations.

Thank you for any suggestions.

from my perspective the fight has some key features that if you cater for them make it possible without having a high level:

- mana is limited so having the DARK CHANNELING skill really helps immensely.
- destabilise matter make the CL (Chaos Lord) hurt much more once you have the minions gone for a while.
- knightly grip can take him offline for a while so you can stack damage etc.
- wither ray is underrate, if you stack a bit of that it will also help a lot

Have you played around with those?

The HP (nothing else) of the CL scales with level, so just levelling the party without using the TP for some fancy new/better abilities won't help.

Yes I am using Dark Channeling and Destabilize Matter. I am worried about using a bit too much mana with destabilize though and not having enough for healing. Keeping the Ally's alive is fairly important I understand. I have defeated him before with other groups but the misfits don't have near the same mana that I had with other groups.

I don't have knightly grip with the misfits group.

I expect that I need to use dispel with the Mage/ but I also hope that the Priest spell will remove the Silence or whatever it is that the CL casts. If only the Dispel will work, I may be in trouble with only the Mage/ having it.

Good to know that the Hit Points are the only thing that is scaliing on the CL. I will get a few skills up (heals) on the secondary healers and then give it a go.

Thank you very much for responding.

Well - not a chance at level 100 with the Misfits group. Even with Dark Channeling maxed on two chars, I never have enough healing and the Priest gets no Dark Channeling. Tried four times with a few variations and never got him below 75% with the Misfits. I have many really good pieces of equipment. I guess I need lifedrain on weapons or something and maybe a little more magic or lifedrain resist. Not so easy for the Priest who cannot wear jewelry.

Well, I will keep trying to enhance the Misfits a bit and then try again and see I can get further.

I had no idea the chaos lord's hp scales with the level... I'm currently working on the President's party group and ho boy... Is it possible he could actually be easier on a lower level? Do the allies hp scale as well? This is relevant to all the special parties I think b/c damage output is limited w/no jewelry and only assasins. I haven't done the misfits yet, but any thoughts?

no-one scales with level other than the CL, and for him only his hp. Because his existence is based on the imbalance of power and your party is contributing to it.
