Etrian Odyssey (PC)
« on: December 18, 2007, 09:02:04 PM »
Doing this one a bit differently.  First post is all of the data on the classes, while second post will be default setups and averages.  Builds are really flexible, so there may be options that aren't in the second post.

Levels taken at 70.  Only my Landsknecht wasn't that high, but she hit that level after the final battle anyways, so this seems reasonable.  Also, it's the max level.

Levels taken at 70.  Only my Landsknecht wasn't that high, but she hit that level after the final battle anyways, so this seems reasonable.  Also, it's the max level.

Each character gets level+2 (72) skill points to allocate to skills.  I've listed the setups I believe are best, but different situations call for different setups.

There exists an option called Retire, which can be used after level 30.  What this does is puts the character back to level 1, in any class you want, while giving a bonus to a stat and extra skill points.  Obviously it would be best to assume the character uses the same class, if this were allowed.  They can do this as many times as they want, but only the bonuses from the first retire count, so it's pointless to do so.  The number of points in a stat and skill points depend on the level of retire, while which stat depends on the class that retired.  The stat/skill point bonuses are as follows:

30: +2 skill points, +1 stat
40: +3 skill points, +1 stat
50: +4 skill points, +2 stat
60: +5 skill points, +2 stat
70: +6 skill points, +3 stat

The stats increased are as follows:
STR: Landsknecht, Dark Hunter, Ronin
VIT: Protector
AGI: Survivalist
LUC: Troubadour
TEC: Medic, Alchemist, Hexer

It's quite easy to do this once during the game, so it's not unreasonable to allow it (maybe a level 30 or 40 retire?) but I'm not including it here since I imagine most people won't.  I'm not sure I do, personally.

There is also an option called Rest that also can be used after level 30, which reduces the character's level by 10 but allows them to reapply all their skill points.  For this reason I allow full choice on setups.

Any character can have up to 3 buffs at once.  Buffs of the same type (such as DEF buffs) can always be stacked, but each one takes up its own slot.

If a stat bust is in effect, and a character uses a buff of the same type, they cancel each other.  For example, if a Troubadour gets hit by DEF down, using Shelter will negate it.  This does not work the other way around.  If the Troubadour uses Shelter first, then gets hit by a DEF down, both effects are up at the same time.  Using Shelter again will remove the DEF down status.

Status effects:
(All of these last about 5 turns.)
Poison: Take damage every turn.  The damage depends on the skill used, rather than the target's max HP like normal.  For example, an Alchemist's max Venom deals 255 damage per round.  This damage ignores defense, etc.
Confuse: Physically attack random people.  Seems to hit yourself more often than anyone else, but I didn't test that.
Curse: Half of the damage you deal is dealt back to you.  In the case of multi-hit attacks, the effect is triggered after each one, and if that damage kills you, the other hits do not go through.  The effect does not occur when killing the last enemy, though it does when killing any other enemy.
Sleep: Can't act.  Next attack deals 50% extra damage and removes the status.
Paralyze: Chance of not acting each turn.  I'd peg it at 75% or so.
Terror: Chance of not acting each turn.  I'd peg it at 50% or so.

Bindings:
(These are similar to status effects, but are a different class, in game.  The skills they block are mutually exclusive and the union of them is every skill in the game.  In other words, they form a partition on the set of all skills.)
Leg bind: Cannot use skills that depend on legs.
Arm bind: Cannot use skills that depend on arms, reduces STR by 30%.
Head bind: Cannot use skills that depend on head.

Instant death doesn't count as a status effect or binding.

Stats:
HP: Lose these and the F.O.E.s come after you.  Scary~
TP: Used to cast the spells that make the F.O.E.s fall down.
STR: Partially determines physical damage.
VIT: Partially determines physical defense.
AGI: Determines turn order and evasion.  Probably accuracy as well.
LUC: Determines critical hit rate and... probably other stuff.  Like most other luck stats, really.
TEC: Determines damage of magical attacks, and probably some other things.  Magic defense, maybe?  There has to be some reason non-alchemists get this stat.  I have the feeling it affects status accuracy, though.  If so, the status rates listed below are probably inaccurate since those are base rates.  Which means they are probably higher for people with high TEC.

ATK: Listed attack power.  Is just for show, really, since damage isn't calculated directly from this.
DEF: Listed defense power.  Same as above, really.

Numbers in parentheses by stats are the stats including the passive skills.  Exceptions for HP/TP.  The reason is because the status screen doesn't show increases for non-HP/TP skills.

Numbers in parentheses by skills are the number of points I considered allocated in the skill.  More points increases efficiency while less points decreases it.  Usually less points also lowers TP cost, but TP cost usually maxes at 5.  The exceptions are skills that have a constant effect but decrease in TP cost at higher levels (like Medic's Cure III).

Equipment used is anything that can be bought before the plot final boss on floor 25.  There exists an aftergame stratum, but most people don't allow those.  However, since this is a dungeon crawler with almost no plot, the aftergame is not much different from the maingame, so I can see allowing it in this case.  I'll get stats for that once I finish it, which will likely include retiring of the characters, since they're already max level before going in.  But for now, this is what you get.

Each character can equip one weapon and three pieces of protection equipment.  Protection equipment includes armor, shields, helmets, gloves, boots, and accessories.  In the case of non-accessories, only one of the type may be equipped at any time.  Accessories have no such limit.  Also, since accessories aren't "free" and take up a slot another piece of equipment used, it might be reasonable to allow them?  Not sure on that yet.  Though I think the setups would change enough to need new averages, so I'll ignore them for the time being.

Everyone has access to ailment resist (statuses), bind resist (binds), and instant death resist (instant death) accessories.  These will take up one of their equipment slots and lower their stats accordingly, so they are not in the default setups (since it would be unfair to make averages like that).  I believe each of these are 25% resistance, but I'm not sure.  They can also be stacked (up to 3, no replacing weapons) if needed.

From Snow:

Quote from: Snow
Okay, since Tal asked me for some theoretical rankings, I'm posting here from a look in the averages and skillsets.

Landsknetch: Middle. Low 2HKO that can be buffed into a high 2HKO off solid durability and a vanilla turn 2-3 status. However, he is slow, and loathes status. Feels pretty typical.

Survivalist: High Heavy. Raquel-level damage off Alena-level speed and a speed buff that makes his speedsterness even more ridiculous. He can also play some weird anti-physical game if he cares to, but his money is in the excellent slugfesting power. Solid durability also doesn't hurt. Being pure evadable physical keeps him in check, though.

Protector: High Heavy. What the hell 229x average durability after two turns, makes even the healing monstrous to outdo. Also, solid damage attached to low-rate status helps with the stallfests, and good durability to begin with does not hurt at all. Does not handle status whores, though, and the speed needs work.

Dark Hunter: Low Heavy. A bunch of vanilla status+full parasitic healing off passable durability and above average speed. Doesn't seem all that much, but it's enough to ride up the border. The damage in the parasitic healing isn't even bad, either. Whip setup sees no use except maybe against damageless healers with more resources than him, and that's a big maybe.

Medic: Heavy. A nice buff, 2HKO damage with fairly accurate status attached and ridiculous amounts of healing. That's a pretty vanilla higher-level staller right there. However, status and OHKOing before he/she goes still handles the stalling game - since the durability and speed are a bit below average. Still, she's a simple and effective staller.

Alchemist: Puny. Slow 3HKO off 47% average durability and nothing else? Um yeah, no. Fail.

Troubadour: Light. The buffs are very good and permanent, and the regen+buffing can give some people trouble in Light. But... the damage. Damn, the damage. It's just horrible. Raja-tastic damage just doesn't fly. Above average speed, at least.

Ronin: Middle/Heavy. He has uses for both Iai and Overhead setups. On Overhead, he gets borderline OHKO damage after his first turn setup that's consistent and spammable, which handles the frail well. On Iai, he gets a speed buff to mend his unimpressive speed, turn two ID attached to damage and still scrapes a 2HKO, alongside being able to hit a couple weaknesses. The fact he needs to lose a turn to get going and being a bit below average in both speed and durability is problematic, though. As such, he pretty much rides the border between Middle and Heavy.

Hexer: Low Middle. The durability and speed are pretty awful, but the status variety is pretty deadly. Terror+Suicide/Paralyze is a brutal combo, and he has some more options to try to get that combo going without dying. The speed/durability combo still kicks his ass, though, which really dampens the potential. Also, immune status and you've got a free pass on him. That damage ain't outslugging anyone ever.

Where did you get damage info and the like for characters you didn't use?  My Survivalist beats that damage quite handily, and I finished at 62 for all but the Ronin.  Not sure on the others off the top of my head, but I can test stuff later.

I did testing with the people I had and came up with some formulae that fit them.  I assumed other classes would follow the same formulae.  The skill data I got from somewhere on GFAQs and a JP wiki.  I have a spreadsheet I got from there that I can give you.

Alright, I'll probably poke you about that later.

On the subject of retiring, my Ronin was the result of a level 30ish(32 I think when I got the scroll) retire and ended up only three levels behind at endgame, despite my lower level(I blame Stalker >_>).  I could see allowing that, maaaybe a 40, but certainly no higher.

Yeah, was thinking about that as well.  I assume, only let people retire from their own class into the same class again?  Actually... is it possible to do that?  I never checked.

Either way, it doesn't make much of a difference.  +2-3 skill points doesn't do much in the DL (though I can see it being significant in-game, at least) and +1 stat doesn't change much either.

Well, I'll add in damage numbers and status stuff from actual testing later, but a few notes.

Nothing in the game seems to be immune to binds, not even the final boss(though he does cheat them a little, he has a skill that he uses when all three are applied which takes them off.  Only skill I saw in the game that can be used through every bind).  A few enemies resist them, but using three characters with binding attacks I was able to hit Exstacy(misspelling intentional due to censor) on every boss.  I don't know if the same applies to status, however, as I didn't have any in my party.  Well, I could have used Viper, but didn't.  May test it later.  Anyway, I can definitely see the Dark Hunter having a use for the whip setup against an opponent heavily reliant on skills, as every skill in the game besides the final's unbinding skill can be cut off with the right bind.  And really, how many duelers aren't heavily reliant on skills? <_<

The Survivalist skill Apollon is really his best damage, but it works on a time delay.  Calling the turn you use it turn one, you won't be able to use it on turn two or three.  It will hit at the beginning of turn three.  Very few things in-game are fast enough to act between Apollon landing and the Survivalist getting his turn.  Personally, I'd be inclined to see this as hitting right before the Survivalists third action if he was faster than his opponent, and before the action the opponent takes prior to his third action if he's slower.  This makes him an even nastier slugfester, as it's a good way to punch past healing or blow past a limit range: if he's faster than the opponent, his third turn is essentially double-acting.  It can be fired again on the fourth turn, and you can act while it's in the air, just not another Apollon shot.  It also has a stun effect, not sure on the odds of it hitting though.

Tal, do you know offhand which skills are affected by which binds?  Most of them are obvious, but believe it or not, the Ronin's Kesagiri, the only skill he can use outside a stance, is actually hit by LEG bind, not arm. >_>  Don't know if there's any other oddities like that, and by the time I noticed, enemies that used binds tended to use more than one in a round(Well, they came in trios and they all used one.  Whatever).

Umm... I think I may have come across a listing of them somewhere, but I forget where it is offhand.  I know the Landsknecht's Allslash (the sword MT attack) is also cut off by leg bind, so there are a few weird ones.
