I just realize dagger cant do link strike???

[Vayne]

Damn it just when i unlock 9999 damage cap for link strike for freaking 999 AP and I just got zwill crossblade.

This leave me with balmung or ultima blade

[dannyj147]

Yeah does tell you in tutorial though.

[J.P.]

Just switch back and forth in combat.

[Hehe boi]

How do you even farm for 999 AP? And there're even 3 of them to unlock? Like how many playthroughs do I need to unlock all of the nodes haha.

Just find an ap farming spot. Sabertusks have some good spots.

there are also 3 accessories that help you gain AP in every single battle you do (not in game now so forget what they called).
A+ in Offense = 1AP.
A+ in Time = 2AP.
A+ in Finesse = 4AP.

So could potentially earn 7AP per battle. so 999/7 is 143 battles?

AP drops like rain by the end of the game. Once you're even halfway thorough all the optional content, you'll be spending AP on things that don't really matter.

Daggers not linkstriking are why I never use daggers. I just put them on Ignis. :P
Daggers are also fairly weak in terms of "breaking" things. Their main advantage of course is attack speed and regular attacking dps.

...occasionally I will use them for certain lone bosses where linkstriking is not going to much of a factor anyway, but 98% of the time I use 1-h sword or the polearm.

I've never understood the reasoning behind limiting linkstrikes to only certain weapon types. It's not as if SE seems concerned about overpowered gear or anything. Haha.

daggers would look funny link striking as they would not reach the target during animation. Maybe that why?

Ignis uses daggers in (blindside) linkstrike animations as well as Noct. using them during those linkstrikes (even if you don't have daggers equipped).

More likely they didn't have time/motivation to create whole unique sets of linkstrike animations linked to the other weapons. :P What I mean by unique sets is ... that most people will never see all of the linkstrike animations because they are dependent on what weapons both Noct and the bro's are equipped with, including whether or not a bro has a secondary weapon equipped. As soon as you have a bro use a secondary weapon, some linkstrikes are eliminated from occurring, for example.

You also can get 1 AP for every enemy you finish with a Warp Strike, making the Time and Offense+Warp Striking mean easy AP. Combined with the +AP for tasks you'll be performing anyway (Driving, Chocobos, Camp, Fishing etc.) I've already gotten thousands of AP just doing all the hunts and side quests and I just now moved past chapter 3 lol

Oh, I completely forgot about those 3 items (Music sheets or something). Will try tonight though. Feeling like I'm gonna spend more time with this game haha. I unlocked almost all of the nodes, the rest of them cost from 333 to 555 to 999 AP so I kinda wondering how da heck I'm gonna get those lol. Thanks a lot for every answer.
