Jeanne can still EX rank after using her NP.

[Farzeezy]

I've seen some misinformation about Jeanne and her Noble Phantasm. Some people saying she is useless because she cannot EX rank when she uses her Noble Phantasm. This is incorrect and mostly due to using it poorly and carelessly. You CAN still EX rank with Jeanne. You just have to be very mindful of when you use her NP.

Some tips.

• Use the invictus install skill so she can self revive after.
  
• I don't use any healing code casts on her. Next point will explain why.
  
• When she is at the brink of death, this is when you want to use her NP. Only ever use her NP when shes is close to dying. Invictus will kick in and revive her back to full health.

Basically if you use her NP at full health, you deal 100% damage to yourself. If you use it when you have only 1% of your health currently remaining, you only deal 1% damage to yourself. This is why I never use healing code casts on her, it will just end up doing more damage to her later when I use her NP. Instead I use her NP for damage and healing at the same time.

In that screenshot, I think only about 10~15% of all that damage was from the actual NP itself. Go ahead and try it! Invictus Spiritus install skill + using NP at near death = not screwing yourself over!

My take away, she's still stupid lmao I and I don't agree with how she is designed. We shouldn't have to keep track of self damage like shes some sort of FF Dark Knight... If the game ignored self damage from the ranking formula I wouldn't complain as much.

Just wanted to share this with anyone who likes Jeanne and was afraid to try her out because of ranking.

Jeanne can easily get EX's, that's not the problem. It's just missing the opportunity to use her NP multiple times or in clutch moments when you need to do areas quickly. She's still really good but its kind of annoying.

While it isn't a good excuse, you don't need NP ever. Having played and EX'd all of the later stages there was never I time I felt I needed NP. There were times I used it for free, extra damage, but it's never required, and those times I did use it would have still been an EX without it easily.

Is Invictus stackable tho? Like, If I put on 3 version of that can we revive 3 times?

Stacking it increases the amount of health you come back with. You can only Invictus once unfortunately.

[doo]

That means, she can use NB once, and you also lost at least 1 slot of ability just for her to be able to use NP and still get EX. That's still bad :\

You can come back without invictus though. Unless you waste your spells on teleporting, I guess.

Yes that's true but theres also a weird scenario where if you NP the final boss and it kills, invictus revives and all the health lost for using the NP doesn't count towards your score

Now this is also interesting and useful.

Yeah I noticed it when I used the NP and it killed. I only tacked on 39% on the results screen

Yup, Tried it, works like a charm. I got 40% damage ex rank after doing that.

Yeah that's true, but it wasn’t the point that Jeanne is useless, t is just a unnecessary restriction.
Her Moon Drive and NP inflicts self-damage that counts towards the EX Rank.
It shouldn’t be that hard to make self-inflicted damage not count against the EX Rank.

[Hibernape]

Used my NP with Invictus to kill the boss and it didn't count at all. Says I only took 1% damage. Totally works.

[doo]

Yea, I actually don't mind that it inflict self harm that much if it doesn't affect my end game rank. :\
