Suikoden 2

[Dhyerwolf]

1. MAJOR NOTE: Since endgame ranges from 55-60, and these are taken at the lower end of the scale, there are several characters who stand to gain more MP at higher levels. This is really important as it gives Tengaar and Flik another L4, and Vincent an L4 and a second L3.

2. Riou, Amada, Anita, Chaco, Clive, Eilie, Flik, Freed, Futch, Gabocha, Hix, Jowy, Karen, Kasumi, Killey, Kinnison, Koyu, LC Chan, Lo Wen, Luc, Mazus, Tir, Meg, Millie, Nanami, Nina, Rina, Sheena, Shin, Sid, Sierra, Simone, Tai Ho, Tengaar, Tsai, Valeria, Viki, Viktor, Vincent and Wakaba all Halve Darkness and regen 15 HP with their default helms. For a loss of 16 defense, they can get 3!!! Additional speed and Wind halving.

Sheena regens a total of 20 default with his starting accessory, Mazus halves Ice/Water with his defense saving armor, Lorelai halves Thunder, Miklotov halves Fire, Freed halves Ice/Water, and Georg halves Dark and regens 10 HP.

3. Averages! I'll be listing several. The first is stars only, the second is stars+temps (Really only affects damage), the third is everyone (stars, temps and losers).

*Fire Emblem Average

4. Damages- Again, straight scale and Rune scales. Also, males can opt for Fire Emblems, which trade speed for defense. They are accessories, which could be viewed in the SH manner. Most physical males want these. Another big note is that the straight scale for S2 is incredibly low (Use it and Flik has 1.1 PC HP damage!!)
Straight (No More Runes) Scale: 492 (519 with Temps) (1230/1298 KO Points)
Fire Emblems & Straight Scale: 524 (550 with Tempes) (1310/1375 KO Points)
L4 Average: 550 (575) (1350/1438 KO)
L4 and Fire Emblems: 576 (600) (1440/1500 KO)
MAJOR NOTE: I was more restrictive in who got runes. I cut out over half the people who got L4s (Generally needed to have a good affinity or have multiple slots).

Luca Blight
6500 HP
55 Defense
80 Magic Defense
Halves all Damage

PC HP: Guessing about 425. Riou after the battle is 447, and he's a tad above average.
PC Damage: Riou's Magic Tier has an L4 by now. Note that you can also fight Luca with multiple parties and whittle his HP down first.
 
Attacks, Triple Acts
Triple Slash- 120 Physical Damage (Possibly lower if you take average of front row) (280 Attack Power)
Flame Slash- 120 Fire Magic (220 Magic Power)
Row Slash- 100 Fire Magic (200 Magic Power)

First Attack After Futch (~110)- 2/3 SD above average
Second Attack after Flik and Camus (~100)- Basically average
Third Attack After Rina and Sheena (~90)- 2/3 SD below average

Gorudo
4500 HP
120 Defense
~85 Magic Defense
Slow.

HP of enemies fought: 540 area
Damages: Forgiver Sign and Hungry Friend take off about 3500. Even without FS, Riou can put on 2 others runes, so he can at least come close to Jowy.

Attack/Abilities
---
Physical- 160 to Riou (560 Attack Power)
Earth Attack- 100 Earth Magic to Riou (240 Magic Power)
Earthquake- 130 Earth Magic (270 Magic Power)

Comments: To be fair, Gorudo is fighting two of the more evasive characters in the game, Jowy and Riou. I don't think he's any worse than any other Suikoden 2 boss (in terms of accuracy) when it comes down to it. Still, Hungry Friend and Forgiver Sign take off ~3500 HP.

Lucia
Lucia
6500 HP
100 Defense
120 Magic Defense

PC HP: 550-560
PC Damage: Quite easy to produce 1000 damage a character for the first turn, she at the beginning of the dungeon too.

Attacks/Abilities
---
Triple Acts
Physical- 180 Physical Damage (420 Attack Power, average Defense is probably 240ish). She has better accuracy than most, but she still misses Riou a bit (who, to be fair, has ~180 TECH).
Dancing Flames- 160 Fire Magic (~280-290 Magic Power)
FLAMING NINJASTARS!- 200 Fire Magic (330 Attack Power)

After Luc (~160)- 1 SD above average
After Jowy (~140)- About 0.5 SD above average
After Flik (~120-130?)- About 0.5 SD below average

Culgan
~3800 HP
100 Defense (nothing special)
135 Magic Defense
Halves Lightning and Holy spells

PC HP: 550-560
PC Damage: 1000+ ST, 800 MT

Attacks/Abilities
---
Acts twice
Physical- 210 Damage (450 Attack Power)
Thor Shot- 150 Thunder Magic (280 Attack Power)
Healing Rain- 600 HP healed.

First Turn is about 1-1.5 SD above average
Second Turn is below average speed

Seed
4200 HP
110 Defense
~100 Magic Defense
Halves Fire spells

PC HP: 550-560
PC Damage: 1000+ ST, 800 MT

Attacks/Abilities
---
Double Acts
Physical- 240 Damage (480 Attack Power)
Flaming Arrows- 140 Fire Magic (260-270 Magic Power)
Silent Lake- Prevents Magic use for 3 rounds.

Both Turns are About 1 SD above average

1 Rune Slot + Rabid Fang Rune*
Silver Hat, Magic Robe, 3 Crimson Capes

Rabid Fang Rune- The Rabid Fang Rune bestows a speed boost in the vein of S2 healing and support spells (if you didn't know, S2 healing and lots of earth magic gets a hefty speed boost. ~40 SPD points). This makes his first turn transformation come out pretty quickly. The speed boost seems to carry over during the transformation as well. Bob's ATK and DEF are doubled. Bob's Magic Defense is multiplied by 1.5.

Bob stays as as a Werewolf for three rounds (he gets three rounds of physicals, and he reverts at the end of the third round). While in this form, he has no choice but to attack (OR SHIFT ROWS!).

Bosses from old forum.

From Gourry

Same deal as the other one. A lot of the time, I was forced to use less than ideal parties for the sake of finding elemental resistances.

In general, Suikoden 2 bosses have impressive offenses, mainly due to double/triple actions.

The important bosses are Seed, Culgan, Lucia, Luca, Gorudo, and Neclord.

I have some data on the Beast Rune, but it's incomplete because
A. I'm lazy.
B. His magic defense makes me want to stab stuff.

Comments: The Mist Shade's a complete pushover in game. Because of various magic scrolls you get and the Circus Unite, s/he bites it pretty quickly. However, when you're alone, it can do its physical on the same person three times. It hurts.

Comments: I got a suckass party for this section. Oh well.

By now, Jowy should have a level 3 charge, so he should be able to take just leess than 1/3 of his life off in one shot. Its physical offense isn't overly impressive, and its magic damage isn't that great in general. Great Blessing should cover all and any damage this thing does, easily.

Comments: Yes, my choice of a party was a lapse in judgment, but it was the best way to test all of its elemental resistances. And the two animals have Fury or Double-Beat. Still, he probably has 3HKO damage, and if he does Rockfall and Green Gas for his turns, you're in for some hurting. Bright Shield Rune saves the day. I used to say that he was the best Suikoden 2 boss, but now I dunno.

Comments: It's quite easy to underestimate his damage due to Fire Emblems, which halve his fire damage (and they're probably the best accessory for males in this battle. 1 Fire Emblem and 2 Guard Rings [+10 MDEF], if you're really dedicated to making Luca's damage suck. 3 Guard Rings for girls). Average Magic Defense is ~95-100. Average Defense is ~160 (possibly more if fully decked out). These are rough estimates, since I'm too lazy to list 18 people.

As for speed, speedy characters like Futch, Riou, Nanami, Shiro, Valeria, etc go before his first attack, relatively fast characters like Flik and Camus go before his second, and the average go before his third. The sluggish (Humphrey) go after his third. Sorry I couldn't be more concise about this. I'm lazy, and I have a save.

Luca Blight vs. Riou
~500 HP (This is a very rough estimate. I have a bad eye for stuff like this. I think he starts out with ~150 or so)

Comments: Yowch. If he double-Lightnings, you're fucked. Thankfully, you win this battle even if you lose, so it's nothing too bad. He doesn't really fall that fast, but Tir should get off a Judgment, at least.

Comments: This form isn't actually that bad for damage (or that ID), but he can be one turned so easily that it isn't funny (Tir's Judgment, Thor Shot, Viktor with Double-Beat/Fury). Neclord 1 has respectable durability, but not the ID, which is something he might opt for. Maybe.

Comments: To be fair, Gorudo is fighting two of the more evasive characters in the game, Jowy and Riou. I don't think he's any worse than any other Suikoden 2 boss (in terms of accuracy) when it comes down to it. Still, Hungry Friend and Forgiver Sign take off ~3500 HP.

Comments: ... yeah, she's pretty nasty. With triple turns and an impressive physical, she can deal death as good or better than most of the others. Good HP, too. She does miss a bit, but not nearly as bad as Seed or Culgan. Still, in game, having Fire Emblems around lessen the impact of her damage (which would be insane if she used the Flaming Ninjastar attack three times).

I guess it wouldn't kill me to use slower characters to get more accurate numbers on her speeds.

[DjinnAndTonic]

Going on the idea of allowing Suikoden PCs storebought runes if they have a high affinity for the matching  element. Here's a list of all the A-ranked affinities.

Gantetsu   Resurrection
Jowy     Dark
Kahn     Resurrection
Killey    Dark, Fire, Lightning
Luc      Dark, Earth, Water, Wind
Mazus    Fire, Lighting, Resurrection
McDohl   Dark
Meg      Lightning, Wind
Millie    Pale Gate, Fire, Lightning
Nina     Fire
Sierra    Dark, Lightning
Stallion   Wind
Tomo    Earth
Tuta     Water
Yoshino   Water
Zamza   Fire

Notable changes: Killey and Luc get access to the Darkness Rune's ID hax. A few runeless mages pick up some much-needed magical offense (Meg, Millie, Nina, Stallion). Sierra gets a Lightning Rune!

[James_xeno]

There's an error in the OP's listed L4 average kill point numbers.

Straight (No More Runes) Scale: 492 (519 with Temps) (1230/1298 KO Points)
Fire Emblems & Straight Scale: 524 (550 with Tempes) (1310/1375 KO Points)
L4 Average: 550 (575) (1350/1438 KO)
L4 and Fire Emblems: 576 (600) (1440/1500 KO)

550 x 2.5 is 1375, not 1350.

Just wanted to point that out.

[Dark Holy Elf]

From GameFAQs:

the White Tiger Rune, for instance, never randomly criticals - it ALWAYS criticals when the user is red health.

He also questioned if Anita's Falcon Rune can crit. I vaguely recall Gourry saying it could, but it just lacked an animation... still, can anyone confirm this?

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Per the Elf's request: the support spells from the Earth Rune (Clay Guardian, Revenge Earth, Canopy Defense and that other one I can't remember because there are no ranked S2 Mother Earth users), along with Silent Lake, have a 40 speed bonus for the turn they're cast.

[Nephrite]

Great Blessing and Battle Oath also fall into that category, as do Kindness Drops, Protect Mist and Kindness Rain.

EDIT: They don't get +40 speed, though. I believe it is 35.

EDIT2: Yes, the speed boost is 35 speed, not 40.

EDIT3: Scream also falls into this category. I believe we can pretty safely say any defensive spell or healing spell gets this bonus.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Oh, so it's 35? Roughly the standard deviation for the game!

[Dark Holy Elf]

Lucia's FLAMING NINJASTARS appears to be non-elemental (or possibly some non-fire element) despite all appearances/logic; it did 270 damage to Georg wearing fire-resistant equips (who did resist Dancing Flames as expected). This could probably use confirmation beyond this one isolated observation.

[Dark Holy Elf]

One more thing: boss stats. Gourry has all their attacks listed, as well as better estimates on their speed (due to multi-acting messing with things) than raw numbers can provide, but this may be useful, in particular for Tec.

S2 statuses are death, sleep, silence, poison, and stun. Boss resistances to these usually aren't too great. S2 poison really sucks though (20 damage a turn!) so ymmv if you want to see far better poisons having their full effect here. It might depend on game of origin for me.

(credit to Suikosource for all numbers here)

Luca
Str 210, Mag 95, Def 62, MDef 82, Tech 115, Spd 115, Luck 72
Halves all damage (save ITD via hacking?), immune to sleep/death, halves silence

High tech, for the time, meaning good accuracy and a noticeable pinch of evasion. The PCs probably gain about 40 points of tech between now and Seed/Culgan (a bit less by Lucia), so scaled he clearly beats every other boss listed here.

Neclord
Str 270, Mag 137, Def 95, MDef 130, Tech 82, Spd 125, Luck 36
Halves fire/earth, weak to holy, immune to sleep/death

I believe his physical is ITE for what it's worth. That accuracy would be awful otherwise.

Gorudo
Str 300, Mag 98, Def 107, MDef 87, Tech 115, Spd 98, Luck 57
No listed immunities or resistances. If you could ID him with a Darkness Rune that'd be hilarious, I'm skeptical that this might be a typo though...

His speed is bad, and not just because he's fighting two fast PCs.

Lucia the 3rd
Str 320, Mag 135, Def 108, MDef 117, Tech 128, Spd 147, Luck 110
Immunes death, resists sleep

Culgan
Str 300, Mag 156, Def 103, MDef 135, Tech 129, Spd 146, Luck 117
Halves lightning/holy, immunes death, resists sleep

Seed
Str 320, Mag 127, Def 117, MDef 98, Tech 127, Spd 155, Luck 125
Halves fire, immunes death

Sleep! You can hit him with it. Too bad S2 sleep kinda sucks.

[Dhyerwolf]

So, I'm working on a new S2 topic, but I wanted to get some opinions on one thing specifically:

Thunder Amulets- I'm thinking of limiting these to 1-2 per person. The reasoning is that basically 3 would be much more useful in game compared to the DL (in game generally if you have 2, you are very reliably hitting against most things), they come pretty late towards the end and the way the accuracy mechanics work, your PCs already get a good boost at endgame compared to midgame and earlygame. As such, I'm thinking that only allowing 2 at least keeps some semblance of the curve you see in game most of the time. Thoughts?
