Hawk Eye (2) : Activates before attacking with an active skill. Makes the attack a Truestrike and critical hit (all hits of the attack)

Comments: Smash. Hawk Eye -> Omega Shatter kills things dead. She has tremendous physical durability too. Mages she doesn't KO can punish her.



Gilbert
Equipment: Vorpal Sword, Gold Bangle, Carnelian Pendant, Lapis Pendant
HP: 84   P.Atk: 59   P.Def: 34   M.Atk: 36   M.Def: 38   Init: 30   Acc:136   Evade: 45   Crit: 18   Guard Rate: 20   AP: 3   PP: 3

Ochlys
Equipment: Vorpal Sword, Steel Shield, Lapis Pendant, Carnelian Pendant
Type: Flying Angel
HP: 74   P.Atk: 55   P.Def: 30   M.Atk: 25   M.Def: 37   Init: 37   Acc:142   Evade: 73   Crit: 11   Guard Rate: 45   AP: 3   PP: 3
HP%: 79%    Physical Durability: 74%    Magical Durability: 86%    Evasion%: 35%    Init Stdev: +0.55
Base Accuracy: 102%

Active Skills:
Spiral Sword (1): 21 Damage. Inflicts Evasion -20. Grants user +20 Evade [100 Phys Potency]
Shield Smite (1): 21 Damage. Inflicts Defense -20%. Grants user +20% Defense [100 Phys Potency]
Honed Slash (2): 44 Damage. Becomes a truestrike if user is buffed. [70 Phys Potency][ 3 Hits]

Passive Skills:
Accelerate (1) : Activates after an enemy attacks with an active skill. Grants user +20 initiative and +30 accuracy (Stacks)
Diurnal Guard (1) : Activates before being hit with a physical attack. Blocks an enemy attack with a medium guard (50% physical damage reduction). Grants user +1PP during the day.
Discharge (1) : Activates before attacking with an active skill. Consumes all of user's buffs. Increases attack power for the attack by 15% x number of buffs consumed.

Note: Shield Smite increases Shield Smite/Spiral Sword by 7, and Honed Slash by 15. It also increases Pdur/Mdur to 93%/124%
Discharge increases Spiral Sword/Shield Smite by 8 per buff consumed, and Honed Slash by 17 per Buff consumed.

Comments: Spiral Sword to buff evade. Discharge and Honed Slash to beat things. Accelerate and Spiral Sword into Discharge Honed Slash yields 3 buffs being expended... It's a fair bit of damage added on top of Honed Slash so she'll probably KO most things with that. Diurnal Guard can help with the bad physical durability and her Guard Rate and Shield along with reducing ground melee hit rate helps further.



Umerus
Equipment: Vorpal Sword, Steel Shield, Lapis Pendant, Carnelian Pendant
Type: Flying Angel
HP: 76   P.Atk: 62   P.Def: 29   M.Atk: 32   M.Def: 35   Init: 31   Acc:142   Evade: 68   Crit: 13   Guard Rate: 44   AP: 3   PP: 3

Note: Shield Smite increases damage by 25%, and increases Pdur/Mdur to 91%/113%
Discharge increases Spiral/Shield smite by 9 per buff consumed, Honed Slash by 20 per buff consumed.

Comments: Spiral Sword to buff evade. Discharge and Honed Slash to beat things. Accelerate and Spiral Sword into Discharge Honed Slash yields 3 buffs being expended...~60 more damage on Honed Slash. It's a fair bit of damage added on top of Honed Slash so she'll probably KO most things with that. Diurnal Guard can help with the bad physical durability and her Guard Rate and Shield along with reducing ground melee hit rate helps further.



Virginia
Equipment: Vorpal Sword, Greatwood Shield, Blue Rose Shield, Carnelian Pendant
HP: 111   P.Atk: 70   P.Def: 46   M.Atk: 19   M.Def: 37   Init: 22   Acc:136   Evade: 25   Crit: 13   Guard Rate: 63   AP: 3   PP: 3
HP%: 121%    Physical Durability: 244%    Magical Durability: 132%    Evasion%: -13%    Init Stdev: -0.83
Base Accuracy: 96%

Active Skills:
Vertical Edge (1): 36 Damage. Becomes a truestrike, ignores 50% Defense, and gains +50 Potency vs flyers [100 Phys Potency]
Iron Crusher (1): 36 Damage. Unguardable. If target is armored then Ignores 50% of defense and gains +50 Potency [100 Phys Potency]
Brandish (2): 80 Damage. Unguardable. Ignores 50% of target defense. Grants user +1PP if attack hits. [50 Phys Potency][ 3 Hits]

Passive Skills:
Maiden's Hammer (1): 54 Damage. Truestrike. Activates after an enemy attacks user with an active skill. Counterattacks. Potency increases linearly from 150 at 100%HP to 250 at 0%HP [150 Phys Potency]
Iron Veil (1) : Activates at start of battle. Grants +50% Guard rate and +30% Physical defense to all allies!
Undying Will (1) : Activates before attacking with an active skill. Adds damage to a single hit related to HP loss (Full HP is 0 potency, 0%HP is 100 potency). Grants the ability to survive a lethal attack string with one HP.

Note: Undying Will's Bonus damage goes from 0 to 36 damage from 100% to 0% HP.

Comments: Yikes. Probably 2HKOs. Counters can see it done sooner. Iron Veil leads to her mocking defense-subject physicals. Against powerful magic that would 2HKO her, she can leverage Undying Will to squeeze out more damage. Powerful heavy?


Berengaria
Equipment: Vorpal Axe, Steel Greatshield, Carnelian Pendant, Lapis Pendant
HP: 86   P.Atk: 65   P.Def: 41   M.Atk: 33   M.Def: 33   Init: 38   Acc:155   Evade: 50   Crit: 24   Guard Rate: 51   AP: 3   PP: 3
HP%: 92%    Physical Durability: 137%    Magical Durability: 86%    Evasion%: 12%    Init Stdev: +0.65
Base Accuracy: 115%

Active Skills:
Carnage (1): 31 Damage. Inflicts -1AP on target. [100 Phys Potency]
Death Spin (1): 23 Damage to a row of enemies. Inflicts Stun. +75 Potency to afflicted (status ailment) targets. [75 Phys Potency]

Passive Skills:
Sanguine Pursuit (1): 31 Damage. Activates after another ally attacks with an active skill. Follow-up attacks a single enemy. Heals user for 50% of damage done. Grants +1PP against afflicted targets. [100 Phys Potency]
Eye of the Warrior Princess (1) : Activates at the start of battle. Inflicts Attack -20% and Initiative -10 on all foes.
Painbringer (1) : Activates before being attacked. Grants the user +1 AP, +20% Attack, and +10 Initiative (Effect stacks)

Notes: After Eyes of the Warrior Princess, her Pdur is 371% and her Mdur is 155%...
Painbringer adds 13 danage to Carnage.

Comments: Eyes of the Warrior Princess buff her physical durability to absurdity and her magical durability to impressive. It also gives her very very good initiative. Then Carnage makes it so an enemy probably only gets 1 out of ever 3 turns. Paingbringer helps to make sure they probably won't get more than that one turn. Berengaria is mean.



Rosalinde
Equipment: Twinned Bough, Royal Scarf, Carnelian Pendant, Lapis Pendant
Type: Elf
HP: 65   P.Atk: 52   P.Def: 20   M.Atk: 64   M.Def: 47   Init: 34   Acc:133   Evade: 89   Crit: 7   Guard Rate: 4   AP: 3   PP: 3
HP%: 74%    Physical Durability: 52%    Magical Durability: 143%    Evasion%: 51%    Init Stdev: +0.28
Base Accuracy: 93%

Active Skills:
Primus Edge (1): 34 Damage. If user is at 100%HP grants +1PP and +1 Fairy [50 Phys Potency] [100 Mag Potency]
Sylphic Wind (2): 30 Magic ranged damage to a row. +20 Potency vs flying targets (1.5x dmg). Grants 1 Fairy. [40 Mag Potency][ 3 Hits]
Elemental Roar (3): 30 Damage to all enemies. Potency increases by 30 for each fairy. Dismisses fairys [70 Phys Potency] [70 Mag Potency]
Freezing Thrust (1): 43 Damage. Inflicts Freeze. +25 Potency (1.25x damage) if any fairys are present. [100 Phys Potency] [100 Mag Potency]
Passive Skills:
Curing Heal (1) : Activates after an ally (including self) is hit by an attack (not status-only). Heals HP equal to 50% of user's magic stat. Removes all Debuffs (Status/stat-downs)
Rage of the Faeries (1): 25 Magic ranged Damage. Activates at start of battle. Attacks a row of enemies. Inflicts Stun. Grants +1 Fairy. [100 Mag Potency]
Elemental Impetus (2) : Activates after using an active skill. Grants +1AP and +1 summoned fairy.

Note: Freezing Thrust does 54 damage with a fairy out.

Comments:Rage of the Faeries into Freezing Thrust. This stuns an enemy with initiative and then freezes them. Then Rosalinde can either wait till next encounter to do it again (wasting all her foes' turns) or just finish them off with another Freezing Thrust. Really solid strategy. The counter-healing would be good her her physical durability were better, but she has not insignificant evade to help too.



Eltolinde
Equipment: Twinned Bough, Royal Scarf, Carnelian Pendant, Lapis Pendant
Type: Elf
HP: 58   P.Atk: 38   P.Def: 25   M.Atk: 63   M.Def: 53   Init: 35   Acc:139   Evade: 89   Crit: 9   Guard Rate: 5   AP: 3   PP: 3
HP%: 66%    Physical Durability: 53%    Magical Durability: 237%    Evasion%: 51%    Init Stdev: +0.37

Active Skills:
Primus Edge (1): 26 Attacks a single enemy. If user is at 100%HP grants +1PP and +1 Fairy [50 Phys Potency] [100 Mag Potency]
Faerie Heal (2): 63 Restores HP to a row of allies. Grants target immunity to damage for one attack. Grants user +1 Fairy. [100 Mag Potency]

Elemental Impetus (2) : Activates after using an active skill. Grants +1AP and +1 summoned fairy.

Note: Lighting Thrust does 35 damage with a fairy out.

Comments: Boon of the Faeries isn't as good as Rage for a duel but it's still good! Counter-healing and a healing spell helps too. The stun on Lightning Thrust can help her KO enemies while keeping them stunned if they are in a durability range to polish off.

Equipment: Spellsteel Sword, Royal Scarf, Carnelian Pendant, Lapis Pendant
Type: Elf
HP: 79   P.Atk: 49   P.Def: 23   M.Atk: 66   M.Def: 40   Init: 26   Acc:136   Evade: 85   Crit: 15   Guard Rate: 16   AP: 3   PP: 3

Comments: Would be a terrible fighter but Icile Arrow squeaks out a win against the slower who aren't immune to freeze.

Gloucester
Equipment: Vorpal Axe, Steel Shield, Carnelian Pendant, Lapis Pendant
Type: Cavalry
HP: 104   P.Atk: 78   P.Def: 36   M.Atk: 45   M.Def: 24   Init: 25   Acc:127   Evade: 22   Crit: 11   Guard Rate: 45   AP: 3   PP: 3
HP%: 113%    Physical Durability: 133%    Magical Durability: 79%    Evasion%: -16%    Init Stdev: -0.56
Base Accuracy: 87%

Active Skills:
Vengeful Axe (1): 22 Damage. Damage increases linearly as HP goes down to 3x (150 potency) at 0% HP. [50 Phys Potency]
Venom Axe (1): 33 Damage. Inflicts poison. [75 Phys Potency]
Dark Flame (2): 25 Damage to a row. Costs 30% of own MHP to use (self-damage leaves with 1HP if it would reduce to 0). +50 Potency (double damage) to debuffed targets. [50 Phys Potency] [50 Mag Potency]

Passive Skills:
Vengeance (1) : Activates after being attacked. Grants user +20% Attack and +20% Defense (Stacks). Grants +1PP if user is at 50% HP or less.
Sanguine Arts (1) : Activates before attacking with an active skill. Recovers HP equal to 50% of damage done.
Demonic Pact (1) : Activates after using an active skill. Sacrifice 25% HP to grant +1 AP.

Notes: Vengeance increases his Pdur/Mdur to 187/92% and then to 319/109%
Note: Each use of Vengeance increases his damage by 35%.

Comments: Being Cavalry is good. His passives give him a tremendous number of options... but his magical durability is poor. A Middle of some flavor?



Govil
Equipment: Vorpal Sword, Gold Bangle, Carnelian Pendant, Lapis Pendant
Type: Bestral
HP: 89   P.Atk: 60   P.Def: 30   M.Atk: 10   M.Def: 26   Init: 33   Acc:160   Evade: 47   Crit: 20   Guard Rate: 11   AP: 3   PP: 3
HP%: 96%    Physical Durability: 90%    Magical Durability: 71%    Evasion%: 9%    Init Stdev: +0.18
Base Accuracy: 120%

Active Skills:
Finishing Stab (1): 26 Damage. Grants user +50% Phys Attack if target is defeated. [100 Phys Potency]
Decimate (1): 20 Damage. Increases potency based on how many enemies there are. +100 (2.33x dmg) if only one... [75 Phys Potency]
Wild Fang (2): 16 Damage to a row. Potency increases the less HP a target has (maximum +50) [20 Phys Potency][ 3 Hits]

Passive Skills:
Nocturnal Strike (1): 39 Damage. Activates at start of battle. Attack a single enemy. Grants user +1PP at night. [150 Phys Potency]
Bestral Howl (1) : Activates before attacking with an active skill. Grans allies in the user row (including Govil) +15% Phys Attack.
Killing Pursuit (1): 26 Damage. Activates after another ally attacks. Follow-up attack a single enemy. Grans +1AP if target is defeated. [100 Phys Potency]

Note: Each use of Bestral Howl increases his damage by 35%.

Comments: Nocturnal Strike into a buffed Decimate is powerful opening move. Decimate is almost cheating with how ogod it is but he can't use Killing Pursuit so that's not too unfair. The durability isn't good so he hopes to win fast. The speed isn't good enough to ensure that. Maybe a low Middle?



Dinah
Equipment: Vorpal Spear, Royal Scarf, Carnelian Pendant, Lapis Pendant
Type: Bestral
HP: 58   P.Atk: 55   P.Def: 19   M.Atk: 24   M.Def: 30   Init: 51   Acc:153   Evade: 118   Crit: 28   Guard Rate: 9   AP: 3   PP: 3
HP%: 60%    Physical Durability: 41%    Magical Durability: 50%    Evasion%: 80%    Init Stdev: +1.85
Base Accuracy: 113%

Active Skills:
Piercing Lance (1): 21 Damage. Inflicts Guard Seal. [100 Phys Potency]
Passive Hold (1): 21 Damage. Inflicts Passive Seal. [100 Phys Potency]
Venom Thrust (2): 16 Damage to a column. Inflicts poison and debuffs target HP recovery by 50%. +50 Potency vs poisoned targets. [75 Phys Potency]

Passive Skills:
Nocturnal Evade (1) : Activates before being attacked by an attack that would hit. Evade a single hit of that attack. Grants +1PP at night.
Shadow Pursuit (1): 16 Damage. Activates after an ally attacks. Follow-up attack a single enemy. Inflicts Blindness. [75 Phys Potency]
Weakness Hunter (2): 47 Damage. Activates after an enemy is debuffed. Attacks an enemy with an unguardable attack. Ignores 30% of target's defense. [150 Phys Potency]

Comments: Evasive and hyperfast and Venom Thrust into Weakness Hunter is pretty mean considering it leaves the foe poisoned. Nocturnal Evade is somehow even better than the Rogue evade skill. May want a Silken Scarf to bump up the evade even further? Really strong as a dueler due to the evasion. Really bad off if she can't rely on it.



Yunifi
Equipment: Frostbloom Bow, Royal Scarf, Carnelian Pendant, Lapis Pendant
HP: 69   P.Atk: 57   P.Def: 20   M.Atk: 27   M.Def: 30   Init: 32   Acc:169   Evade: 121   Crit: 46   Guard Rate: 7   AP: 3   PP: 3
HP%: 79%    Physical Durability: 56%    Magical Durability: 66%    Evasion%: 83%    Init Stdev: +0.09
Base Accuracy: 129%

Active Skills:
Mystic Arrow (1): 23 Ranged damage. Adds a magic attack at 100 Potency to armored targets (Yunifi may need a Spellsteel bow to take advantage of that) [100 Phys Potency]
Sonic Shaft (1): 50 Ranged damage. Deals the target's initiative stat as additional fixed damage (not reduced or increased by defenses/weaknesses/crits). [avg enemy initiative is ~27, stdev 10] [100 Phys Potency]
Glacial Rain (2): 41 Charge for 1 turn and then attack. Attacks all enemies and inflicts freeze. User cannot evade or use passives while charging... [60 Phys Potency][ 3 Hits]

Passive Skills:
Eagle Eye (1) : Activates before attacking with an active skill. Makes next attack a Truestrike
Triple Counter (1): 23 Activates after an enemy attacks user with an active skill. Counterattacks three enemies (can't focus on one) [100 Phys Potency]
Snow-white Strike (1): 17 Damage. Activates after an ally attacks. Follow-up attack a single enemy. Inflicts Freeze. +100 Potency vs frozen targets. [75 Phys Potency]

Comments: Sonic Shaft  is a good move. Her evasion and counter rounds her out with the ability to score a kill on round 2 against most things. She's in a bad spot if she can't rely on her evasion. May want a Silken Scarf instead of a Pendant...

HP%: 170%    Physical Durability: 253%    Magical Durability: 78%    Evasion%: -29%    Init Stdev: -1.94
Base Accuracy: 77%

Active Skills:
Bear Crush (1): 32 Damage. Unguardable attack. Inflicts Stun. [100 Phys Potency]
Round Swing (2): 24 Damage. 75% accuracy. Unguardable attack to a row. Damage increases the more HP the user has (3x at full HP, 1x at 0%) [25 Phys Potency][ 3 Hits]
Earthshaker (2): 24 Damage to all enemies. Damage increases the less HP the user has (maximum 2x damage at 0% HP, 1x at 100%) [75 Phys Potency]

Passive Skills:
Heavy Guard (1) : Activates before being hit by a physical attack: Blocks an enemy attack string (reduces damage by 75%)
Nocturnal Rest (1) : Activates after attacking. Recover 30% HP. HP recovery doubled to 60% at night.
Life Blow (1) : Activates at the end of a battle. Unguardable attack that deals ITD damage = 80% of user's HP. Attack can not critical.

Comments: Durable against physicals and self-heals. Against magic he's in a rough spot... but might survive if he can rely on Nocturnal Rest. I'm not sure about taking skills at day/night, but his lack of reliable accurate damage is painful. Stun can be a curse in that he might give a foe multiple turns to off him where he can't use Nocturnal Rest to heal between them.

Photon Arrow (2): 21 Damage to two enemies. Inflicts Phys. Defense -50%. Inflicts Passive Seal during the day. [80 Phys Potency]

Passive Skills:
Aerial Pursuit (1): 26 Damage. Activates after another flying ally attacks with an active skill. Follow-up attacks a single enemy. [100 Phys Potency]
Tailwind (1) : Activate after using an active skill. Grants row of allies +10 initiative. Effect doubled for flying allies.
Shining Light (2) : Activates before an enemy uses an attack skill. Inflicts Blindness on that row of enemies

Comments: Shining Light is really amazing in-game. She has good evasion (moreso against ground melee). She may not even want a Lapis Pendant unless she can also get a weapon that gives PP (Wingcrest Bow, Icefall Bow). She'll be trying for a 4-5HKO while hoping a foe doesn't score a kill on her through her evasion. Middle/Light?



Fodoquia
Equipment: Vorpal Sword, Steel Greatshield, Carnelian Pendant, Royal Scarf
Type: Flying, Angel, Armored
HP: 89   P.Atk: 48   P.Def: 43   M.Atk: 23   M.Def: 58   Init: 36   Acc:136   Evade: 89   Crit: 13   Guard Rate: 57   AP: 3   PP: 2

Row Resistance (1):  Grants allies in the users's row +50% Mag. Defense. Extends to all allies during the day.
Mystic Shield (1):  Grants the user +50% Magic defense and +2PP.

Passive Skills:
Reflect Magick (2) : Activates before enemy uses a damaging magic attack skill. Reflects magic attack back at enemy. Fodoquia's party does not take the attack.
Sacrifice (1) : Activates before an ally is attacked. Covers ally with no guarding.
Mirror Weakness (1) : Activates after the user is debuffed. Removes the user's debuffs. Inflicts all removed debuffs on a target.

Comments: Unimaginably tanky. Non-debilitating status/debuffs are a waste of time, and Reflect Magick means trying for fatal status with damage attached is suicide. The problem is the total lack of damage... A Light or Quirky weak Middle at best. Would have been HILARIOUS with healing.

Passive Skills:
Advance Cover (1) : Activates before an ally is attacked. Covers ally with medium guard (50% damage reduction) and grants user +1AP.
Phantom Counter (1): 29 Damage. Activates after an enemy attacks user with an active skill. Counterattacks. Inflicts Burn. Removes target's buffs. [100 Phys Potency]
Parting Death (1): 29 Damage. Activates at the end of a battle. Attacks a single enemy. Inflicts a Deathblow if target has 50% HP or less. [100 Phys Potency]

Burning Edge is mean. Phantom Counter with Burning Edge is also mean. Parting Death is just rude. Death Spin synchronizing with a foe already being on fire (Causing them to lose their turn but take the damage) is the incendiary icing on the cake. A Heavy of some flavor?

Divine Cross (2): 7 Damage. Removes all of the target's buffs. Grants user +1PP if target defeated. [50 Phys Potency] [50 Mag Potency]

Passive Skills:
Holy Barrier (1) : Activates before an ally is attacked. Reduces damage by 50% and prevents debuffs/ailments.

Pursuit (1): 10 Damage. Activates after an ally attacks. Follow-up attack a single enemy. [75 Phys Potency]

Comments: No damage to speak of, but fairy tanky as a result of Holy Barrier/Guard, and he has some weak healing. A good Light or quirky weak Middle.



Selvie
Equipment: Shaman's Bonestaff, Lapis Pendant, Carnelian Pendant, Royal Scarf
HP: 92   P.Atk: 47   P.Def: 28   M.Atk: 28   M.Def: 60   Init: 37   Acc:142   Evade: 87   Crit: 18   Guard Rate: 9   AP: 3   PP: 3
HP%: 105%    Physical Durability: 93%    Magical Durability: %    Evasion%: 49%    Init Stdev: +0.55
Base Accuracy: 102%

Active Skills:
Passive Curse (1):  Inflicts PP-1 and Initiative -10 on a row of enemies.
Offensive Curse (1):  Inflicts Phys and Mag Attack -50% on a row of enemies.
Defensive Curse (1):  Inflicts Phys and Mag Defense -50% on a row of enemies. And Guard Seal.

Cursed Strike (2): 13 Damage. Gains +100 Potency and ignores 50% of defense if target is debuffed. [100 Phys Potency]

Passive Skills:
Passives: () :
Quick Curse (1) : Activates before an enemy attacks. Inflicts Attack -20% for that attack. Inflicts Critical Seal.
Cursed Swamp (2) : Activates at start of battle. Inflicts Initiative -10 and Evasion -30 to all enemies. Inflicts PP-1 to cavalry.

Note: Quick Curse increases her physical durability to 142%.
Note: Cursed Strike does 60 damage to a debuffed target (77 to a target with Defensive Curse)

Comments: Go first (Cursed Swamp helps), Offensive Curse -> Cursed Strike.Offensive Curse is so potent that she likely won't take damage after using it. Cursed Strike will do fair damage to a debuffed enemy. One may question the fairness of her getting the Shaman's Bonestaff since generic shamans can use it. She may prefer a Gold Bangle to a Royal Scarf (or, if you let her have it, her starting +10 initiative accessory).

Unranked Games / Unicorn Overlord

« on: April 24, 2024, 11:17:32 PM »

Unicorn Overlord. Levels taken at 43. Enemy stats were an average of endgame enemies.

Unicorn Overlord utilizes an "Encounter" system where, when two units encounter each other on the map, they engage in a turn-based battle.
The turn-based battle consists of characters taking actions in initiative order from highest to lowest. Taking an action consumes "Action Points", and the battle only ends when all combatants have used all of their action points.
If a combatant runs out of AP they can no longer take actions in a round, but there continues to be rounds until all combatant AP is spent.
Given this, it is safest to assume a DL bout would go as a series of encounters until one dueler wins. I assume 3 AP is standard, so once every 3 turns a dueler would be 'refreshed' AP and PP, and use end of battle/start of battle passives. This also means using a 2AP skill would represent 'borrowing' a future turn's action to use a more powerful move immediately.
Additionally, characters have "Passives" abilities that activate when conditions are met. For example countering an attack, increasing defense before being hit, or covering an ally. These consume "Passive Points", and can only be used if the user has enough passive points to do so.
Units are arranged in a 3x2 grid on their side (3 columns, front/back row). In a duel this doesn't matter. In-game units in the back row can't be struke with melee attacks while there are front row units.
I am taking the cast as the recruitable story characters (all of them). I am not including Generics in this. Note that the game does not 'balance' the classes with story characters. There are 4 Great Knights but only 1 Sergeant for example.

Equipment: Characters have 4 equipment slots of varying types depending on their class. I've made the following assumptions:
- Vorpal Weapons are a good representative endgame weapon. There are a fair number of them of the 5 weapon types, and there are a fair number of better things too.
- Steel Shields and Greatshields are assumed where relevant. There are a lot of shield users and not that many great shields.
- I assumed Lapis and Carnelian Pendants as available, and are generally default.
- Where reasonable, I assigned a Gold Bangle or Royal Scarf to a unit, depending on whether they were defense or evasion-oriented. Other relevant game equipment is Silken Scarf (+20 Evade), Veteran Eyepatch (+30 Crit), Elite Beret/Sage's Hood (+12% base P/M Atk).
- Status Blockers: There are some status blocker accessories in the game that guard against Poison, Blind, Burn, Freeze, Passive Seal, Guard Seal.
Game Stats:
Damage: Damage is just (Attack stat - Defense Stat) * Potency/100. There are other modifiers that can come into play but this is the basic formula.
Critical Hit: A Critical hit happens at the character's Crit% rate. These are 1.5x damage (or healing). Some skills increase this damage multipler. Adding 50% to it would make it a 2x crit instead for example.
Evasion: Evade in Unicorn Overlord works against any type of attack (physical/magical/otherwise) unless that attack is specifically a "Truestrike" that ignores evade and evade skills. Hit rate % is simply Accuracy - Evade. One note is that when a move has less than 100% accuracy, that is multiplied by the final hit-rate.
Guarding: Units can 'guard' against physical damage. This happens based upon the unit's Guard Rate %. If an attack is guarded, the physical damage is reduced by 25%. If the unit has a shield equipped, it is a 50% reduction. If a Greatshield is equipped it is a 75% reduction. This has no effect on ITD/magic damage.
Unit Type Bonuses/Penalties:
In Unicorn Overlord, some unit types have advantages over others. These are extreme (double damage or halved accuracy) so it might be reasonable to ascribe half of it to the unit on both ends (for example 41% damage boost or 71% hit rate in the DL against types the unit is strong or weak against).
- Cavalry units on horses deal double damage against Infantry units that are on foot. Infantry includes Beastfolk and elves that are on foot, but does not include winged characters.
- Flying units halve the hit-rate of melee attacks from units on the ground.
- Arrow attacks do double damage to flying units.
- MOUNTED flying units (Gryphon and Wyvern riders) deal double damage to cavalry units. This is in addition to being flying typed and halving accuracy against ground units.
These bonuses are multiplied on top of any specific weakness-hitting skill a unit might have. For example Gryphon Knights have a skill that increases Potency to Cavalry units. That increased damage is then doubled from being mounted flying type against them.
None of these bonuses are included in damage figures, although one could argue that Cavalry face mostly Infantry both in-game and in the DL.
I assumed enemy stats to be an average of the endgame enemies on Tactical mode.
P/M Atk: 60
P.Def: 34
M.Def: 39
Evade: 40. Accuracy: 138.
I include an estimate of physical and magical durability based upon HP% and how effective the unit's defensive stat is. 200% = Unit can take twice as much punishment as a unit with 100%.

For move types. I list the Move, how much PP/AP it costs, and what benefits it has. Almost all moves are more than just damage!

Afflictions (Status effects)
Burn: Unit takes 20 damage before taking an action (using an Action Point). This stacks, so if Burn is inflicted again (Lvl 2 Burn) it is 40 damage. A 3rd stack would make the target unit take 60 damage before it takes an action.
Freeze: A frozen unit can't act to spend AP. It also can't use Passives, dodge, or Guard. If the unit is attacked it unfreezes. If a unit is the last unit with AP but is still Frozen, then it can't use the AP and loses it. This makes Freezing a slower opponent incredibly potent as a dueling strategy!
Stun: A unit that is stunned can't act, guard, or use passives. The condition is cleared after the unit's turn comes up in combat (it loses the turn but not any AP and clears Stun). This means if a unit inflicts Stun and uses all their AP, the foe that was stunned will get to use their AP once their final stun clears.
Blind: The unit's attacks automatically miss. Even Truestrike attacks. The status is cleared after the unit takes a turn.
Poison: The unit takes 30% of their max HP before taking an action. If they were stunned they still take the damage.
Instant Death: Brings a character to 0 HP immediately if it triggers.
Passive Seal: Prevents a unit from using Passive skills (Auto-evade, counters, counter-healing, covering for other units, etc)

Debuffs: Debuffs include AP/PP Draining or damage. Stat-downs which last till the end of an encounter, and Afflictions like above (Afflictions are classified as debuffs).
Debuffs and buffs work on the final equipped stat value in-battle and are very potent (distinct from equipment boost %s that only impact the base unequipped value)
Priests, Ramona, and Featherstaves are not included in averages on account of having no effective attacks. Selvie wouldn't normally have an attack but there is one staff that gives Druids an attack. There is one for Priests and that would be HILARIOUS but unfortunately there are 3 priests.

Averages:
HP: 87.8
P.Def: 31.7
M.Def: 34.8
Initiative: 31, Stdev 10.8
Accuracy: 140
Evade: 55.7
Guard Rate: 28.4%

3-turn damage average: 43 per turn (107 2.5x kill point). [Cavalry with +41% damage assumed is 45 dmg/turn, With +100% damage assumed it is 48]

Notes:
I've already included into the damage effects of moves that partially ignore a target's defense or that add raw damage (like Yunifi's sonic arrow).

I'll include a dueler's type. If there are no notes they are just infantry.

Bestral units' get a +20% base stat buff at night time. I haven't included this.

Rapid Order (1) : Activates at start of battle. +20 Initiative to entire team.

"Comments: Tank who heals himself for 25% with his attacks. Has solid damage in Spinning Edge. Noble Guard makes a mockery of
Physicals while Rapid Order gives him fabulous initiative. Heavy?"

Note: 78% Pdur with Divine Blessing

Comments: Saint's Barrier is very good, halving damage coming at her. She has Divine Blessing's Regen to help survive too. It's a pity Curing Call isn't stronger healing but she might eke out wins in Middle?

Comments: Cavalry good. Physical attacks are wasting time (Quick Guard and good physical durability see to that).Cavalry Call adds 20% of P.Atk and Knight P.Atk is good. It stacks too so they keep getting stronger. Wild Rush spam can win a match while leaving foes stunned... if their accuracy doesn't sink them.

Comments: A support unit with no one else to support. Throwing her a bone (and an Elite Beret) doesn't help too much. She might 4HKO and get a bit of healing at the end of round 3. Light.

Note: Def -20% increases Aubin's damage by 7 (17%)

Comments: Smash reduces enemy defense by 20% (plus 12 damage for a 100 Potency attack). So Smash -> Smash -> Smash. If he survives his foe's third action he might get in a Parting Blow, and he counters with Frenzied Strike. His durability is terrible however... Light? Rolling Axe might punish those with no evasion to speak of.

Note: Each stack of P.Atk +20% Increases Bereneice's Heavy Slash damage by 28 (31%)
Bastard's Cross does 151 damage to a full HP target. [198 after Vengeful Guard]

Comments: Meet pain and death and one of the reasons most units have bad damage. Bastard's Cross opener can OHKO. They have counters, a Guard Skill, and Bull Rush that can actually make them lap an enemy (get 2nd turn before foe)... poor magic durability is the only weakness. Heavy.

Ice Coffin (2): 35 Magic damage to a row. Inflicts Freeze. +50 Potency vs Frozen targets. [100 Mag Potency]

Passive Skills:
Magick Conferral (1) : Activates before an ally's physical attack with an active skill. Adds a magic attack to it with 50 Potency.
Accurate Conferral (1) : Activates before another ally attacks with an active skill. Makes the attack a Truestrike.
Quick Cast (2) : Activates at the start of battle. Grants user max initiative for next action and -50% Crit rate.

Comments: Go first with Quick Cast. Freeze Enemy. Repeat until victory. If a foe ignores her Freeze she is in a tight spot indeed as then her speed and damage and durability are all horrifically bad. So a flavorful Middle or something.

Concentrate (2) : Activates after using an active skill. Grants user +1AP and +40 Accuracy.

Comments: Auch... has no physical durability. An average physical almost OHKOs him probably. But he has okay damage (borderline 2HKO magic counter), so he might get a chance to kill. And his magic durability is great.

Sneaking Edge (1): 15 Damage. Activates at the start of battle. Attack a single enemy. Inflicts Guard Seal and Passive Seal if either hit connects. [50 Phys Potency][ 2 Hits]


Comments: Sneak Edge seals off enemy counters/passive skills. A crazy high evasion stat keeps him in the fight. The Evade skill is so good it feels like cheating (but only works vs a single-hit vs multi-hit attacks... if those attacks can get through the ordinary evade).  Poisoning an enemy lets him kill them. Middle/Heavy? One of those cases that might want a Silken Scarf to make the evade even higher.

Comments: damage, good evade, and truestrike to deal with foe's evasion. Parry can help against accurate single melee attacks (not from flying enemies though!).  Hastened Strike into Meteor Slash KOs. Another case where they might want to sacrifice the Carnelian Pendant (and use Charged Impetus to get the 3rd AP) for a Silken Scarf.

HP%: 81%    Physical Durability: 64%    Magical Durability: 102%    Evasion%: 65%    Init Stdev: -0.37
Base Accuracy: 89%

Active Skills:
High Swing (1): 35 Damage to a row. Cavalry targets can't guard this attack. Potency +50 vs cavalry... [100 Phys Potency]
Fatal Dive (2):  Unguardable defense-ignoring attack to a column of enemies. Damage = 50% of the user's current HP. Attack can not critical hit.
Aerial Smite (2): 53 Damage to a row. Cavalry targets can't guard the attack. Inflicts AP-1 on a target if the target was at 100% HP. [150 Phys Potency]

Passive Skills:
Wing Rest (1) : Activates at the end of battle. Recovers 25% HP. (50% HP if user has a status ailment)
Feathering (1) : Activates after attacking with an active skill. Grants allies in the user's row +15 Initiative.
Gryphon Glide (2) : Activates before being hit by a ranged attacks (which includes melee attacks from flying creatures). Evade a single hit of the ranged attack. Grants user +1 AP.

Comments: The evasion helps with the bad durability. Gryphon Glide can help deal with the arrow weakness (it also works on flyer's melee and ranged magic). Wing Rest is good for an end of battle heal. Opening with Aerial Smite is usually a good idea as it reduces a full HP enemy's AP by 1.

Aerial Smite (2): 44 Damage to a row. Cavalry targets can't guard the attack. Inflicts AP-1 on a target if the target was at 100% HP. [150 Phys Potency]

Passive Skills:
Medical Aid (1) : Activates at the end of battle. Restores 15% HP to a row. Healing doubles if target is below 50% HP.
Quick Reload (1): 19 Damage. Activates after attacking. Follow-up attacks a single enemy. [50 Phys Potency]
Aid Cover (1) : Activates before an ally is attacked. Covers ally with medium guard (50% damage reduction) and restores 25% HP to that ally.

Comments: Good physical durability and good damage. Heavy Bolt -> Quick Reload -> Power Bolt -> Quick Reload is likely a 2HKO off good accuracy. Toxic Bolt can help even more. Her magic durability isn't good however. Middle?

Tempest Drive (2): 51 Damage to a column. Cavalry targets can't guard this. Becomes a Truestrike and Critical if user is below 50% HP. [150 Phys Potency]

Passive Skills:
Ground Counter (1): 17 Damage. Activates after being attacked with an active skill. Counterattacks. Does +100 Potency (x3 dmg) to cavalry targets. [50 Phys Potency]
Deflect (1) : Activates before being hit by a melee attack (melee attacks from flying creatures are considered ranged). Negate melee damage for a single hit. Grants the user +20 Evasion (effect stacks)
Dragon's Roar (2) : Activates at start of battle. Inflicts Initiative -20 on all enemies.

Comments: A variety of interesting options. Dragon's Roar on foes faster than her. Deflect for ground based melee (whose accuracy she already reduces). Tempest Dive becomes a Truestrike and powerful damage below 50% HP... Fire Breath probably won't see use but vs enormous physical defense.

Unranked Games / Chained Echoes

« on: October 22, 2023, 08:04:08 PM »

Solace's Guide was invaluable: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2925984202

80 enemy Def/Mdef
41 GS
Forged Tier 10 weapons
Tier 9 forged armor
No Class Emblems.
No accessories
No Crystals

Notes:
- 8 Usable abilities can be equipped. 5 Passive Abiltiies. PCs can switch these between battles
- Damage goes as Atk or Mag ^2 divided by target defense. This means that Atk/Mag Buffs/debuffs are highly effective.
- I assumed L3 for each ability. It's easier than worrying about it and you can just set the ones you care about to level up (and swap them out normally to keep them all up)
- The PCs have a shared 'Ultra' meter that charges with their attacks. It enables a super-move unique to each PC that will be noted. Boss battles start with this full.
- The assumption that no Accessories or Class Emblems are used is difficult, as that renders the Call of Nature passive on Siena/Mikah very potent (10%) with the option of getting extreme (+25% Atk/Agi but die to a breeze)
- I assumed the Stat Up passives as default for the purposes of stats. These are generally the best choice no matter what.
- Basic physicals generate 10 TP.
- Defending reduces damage by ~45%

Status Notes:
In general, status is 100% the first time. Then it takes 2 attempts to apply it the second time. Then 3 attempts to apply it the 3rd time...
Sleep: Target can't take actions... but has a 50% chance of wearing off at the beginning of each of their turns.
Paralyze: Target has a 33% chance of losing their turn.
Blind: Target's physical attacks all miss.
Silence: Target can't use magic attacks (but can use healing...)
Poison/Toxic/Bleed: Applies a Damage effect that takes place at the start of the target's turn. Note that this works on every enemy, from animals to giant robots.

Comments: He'll use All Break and Cross Slash to get good parasitic healing going. This is very effective. All Break ->Oil Strike -> Flame Strike is a good setup to try and score a KO on something that heals and doesn't resist fire. Middle/Heavy?

Comments: Clothes bonus saves her durability from the trash heap, making her just 'bad'. She's not got much going for her. Okay-ish damage isn't enough. Light.



Robb:
HP: 270 (79.6%)

Comments: Paralyze isn't as good as one would hope. SOS HP Regen is a nice trick. He's generally going to try to get by on Charging -> Power Shot. But Toxic Shot -> Defending is a cheap trick that pairs with SOS HP Regen. I think Light/Middle?

Comments: Buffs out the wazoo, and he can have multiple types too. Heroic Ode and Poetic March yield a 66% increase in damage, for example. Healing Hymn isn't going to be enough to keep him going however, so he's probably a Light.

Evasion Master: 50% chance to get a stack of evade after an evasion...
Evasionist: 20% chance to dodge a physical attack

Comments: Really hinges on Call of Nature and whether or not she can use it. Dragonfang is unreliable, but multiple hits have a good chance of triggering her high crit rate on some of them?

Comments: Light. She's got horrific stats, but can heal for a long time and has the 20% Damage negation and default damage every turn to help her get into a different groove. Don't buy her HP+15 or HP+20 stat bonus and she ends up hilarious.

Comments: Lightning bruiser. Opener -> Heavenly Kick is a solid start to any fight. If she forgoes equips she becomes an extreme glass cannon, being hyperfast and dealing OHKO damage but dies to a breeze. Middle/Heavy?

Finished up Persona 5 Strikers. It was enjoyable primarily as a vehicle for the cute-as-a-button AI party member Sophia and being downright hilarious frequently enough to keep me smiling.

The action gameplay didn't do anything for me. The game didn't have enough variety or surprises to keep things fresh.

Godlike:

Winners:

T260G (SaGa) vs. Fenrir (VP1)

Losers:

Rika (PSIV) vs. Belial (WA4): Tanks Belial's speed... I think she avoids the 2HKO with Tank Drops? It feels like she has the tools to do this, if anyone does.


Heavy:

Winners:

Levin Brenton (WAXF) vs. Emelia (SaGa): Evasion

Losers:

Edgar (FF6) vs. Lilka (WA2): Reflect would help with Confuse, and Mystic->Holy Grail with Instant Death, but both together are too much. Also Thanatos X wouldn't help *after* air anchor gets used.


Middle:

Winners:

Red XIII (FF7) vs. Tony (WA4)

Losers:

Byleth (FE3H) vs. Florina (FE7): at worst she fists her.

Arceus (PKMN) vs. Sir Leopold (DQ8)
Belial (WA4) (No 4D Pocket) vs. Nailah (FE10)


Heavy:

Winners:

Levin Brenton (WAXF) vs. Lilka (WA2): Levin's hit-rate isn't very good, but he's usually fast enough to make it work... Lilka is certainly above average herself and has 'above average' evade (by like 5%). Lilka can give herself enormous breathing room with even 1 Quick, amping her speed and evade and starting a positive feedback loop.

Unranked Games / Octopath Traveler 2

« on: September 01, 2023, 02:15:50 AM »

Notes:

- Snowfire's original Octopath topic described the system better than I could: https://www.rpgdl.com/forums/index.php?topic=6997.0

- There's a nice public spreadsheet on moves/monsters/stats:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vd0ZS8QmKC14qlXw43jPm0ytzMy4nczKJG5CD5QSi3M/htmlview#

- Octopath 2 includes "Latent Powers" for the characters. These are special abilities that activate based on a gauge that fills up as the characters take damage or break enemies. This is filled to full on staying at an Inn so is assumed to start full in a duel. Latent Power gauge is otherwise gained at a rate of 1.3* %HP lost, rounding down. Some characters get their Latent power at 125 Latent gauge (Ochette/Agnea/Temenos/Hikari), and others at 100 (Castii/Throne/Osvald/Partitio). [Hikari's Latent Power Up skill brings him back down to 100]

- For armor, I've assumed that everyone uses the same armor/helm/shield. The Swift Shield raises speed and has good defenses. The Helm "Art of Disguise" raises SP significantly and has good defenses, giving the cast much more resource depth. The Royal Guard's Mail raises HP significantly and has great defensive stats.

- For weapons, I've assumed the best storebought equipment available. I've assumed that everyone has a minimum of a +300 Magic boost as there are a plethora of significant Element Attack boosting weapons but not much in the way of storebought stuff. In-game everyone would have access via subclasses or non-storebought weapons, so it isn't right to render the 6/8th of the cast's unique magic obsolete on a technicality.

- Characters have 'default weapons' that they always start battle with. Magic attacks use the highest stats and moves of a particular weapon type use the relevant equipped weapon's stats. Otherwise the character can change weapons on their turn freely.

- I assumed two Protective Bracelets in the accessory slot of the characters. This seems like the best storebought accessory outside of maybe HP boosting.

- I assumed an enemy defensive stat of 480 for both Pdef and Magic defense.

- I assumed Level 60 stats as that's what I ended up at abusing the game's healthy helping of Exp boosts and doing just about everything (not the optional superbosses).

- Temenos and Throne benefit *enormously* from fighting at night time. The game gives you the power to switch between night and day at a button press, and there aren't any situations where you must fight in the day... I included Throne's self-buffs in the damage averages but did not include Temenos' debuffs in the damage average.

- I list damage for each move as four numbers for  0BP/1BP/2BP/3BP spent.

HP: 3961
Def: 594
Elem Def: 646
Speed: 301.375 (stdev 58.37) [This is the forced-default weapons]

Godlike:

Magus (CT) vs. Arceus (PKMN)
Sir Leopold (DQ8) vs. Chaos (FF1): ITD critical hits will do the job.
Belial (WA4) vs. Edelgard (FE3H): Double Tank Drops? Edelgard's speed with Aymr was good but not good enough?
Nailah (FE10) vs. Shania (SH3): Just barely doesn't KO, but Savage is turn 4?


Heavy: Blonde supremacy )Ness needs hairdye)

Maya Schrodinger (WA3) vs. Alexia Lynn Elesius (WAXF): Sure I'll follow Tide.
Haishao (XG) vs. Kanji (P4)
Guv(DQ8) (No Call Team) vs. Clarissa Arwin (WAXF): One Rob Turn is enough to use 2 Sacrifices in a row. (Two Rob Turns is feasible for 3 Sacrifices in a row).
Guv wants to use his Initiative Spear Damage here! But I don't think the at best ~10% PCHP damage is going to effect Sacrifice enough.

Ness (EB) vs. Worker 8 (FFT): No ID?


Middle: Fire Emblem is the GOAT

Juno (SN) vs. Byleth (FE3H): Slice n Dice (I assume Byleth is a Swordmaster with all the bonuses that entails)
Aht (RH) vs. Fafnir (WA3)
Florina (FE7) vs. Dalton (CT)
Nephenee (FE10) vs. Aika (SoA)

Jowy Atreides (S2) vs. Belial (WA4): I think Jowy checks the boxes here (MT damage, can take two Tank drops via def)

Shania (SH3) vs. Jenna Angel (DDS)

Guv(DQ8) (No Call Team) vs. Edgar (FF6)
Emelia (SaGa) vs. Clarissa (WAXF): initiative damage.
Ness (EB) vs. Asellus (SaGa) status or ID
Worker 8 (FFT) vs. Eirika (FE8): demon typing!?


Middle

Florina (FE7) vs. Flay (MK1): I don't think she can double with a Killer weapon and can't counter his ranged repeating blade attacks, so I think he's got this.
Dalton (CT) vs. October (CSTW)
Nephenee (FE10) vs. Tony (WA4)

Rayquaza (PKMN) vs. Magus (CT)
Killer (SH3) vs. Arceus (PKMN)
Sir Leopold (DQ8) vs. T260G (SaGa): Leopold's Crits are like, normal Dragon Quest Crits? I'm not sure how to frame this but they don't seem like the sort of thing that should be double-able at will.
Chaz Ashley (PSIV) vs. Chaos (FF1): Megid?


Heavy:

Maya Schrodinger (WA3) vs. Alicia (VP2): NEB indicated Calamity Jane was ~88% PCHP damage? Alicia can Chip her, then knock her into range, then try and finish her?
Levin Brenton (WAXF) vs. Alexia Lynn Elesius (WAXF)
Haishao (XG) vs. Lilka (WA2) Lilka was made to eat this alive.
Kanji (P4) vs. Auron (FFX)


Middle:

Red XIII (FF7) vs. Juno (SN): Stardust Ray triggers I think.
Anastasia Romanov(SH2) vs. Byleth (FE3H): Byleth should be a Swordmaster instead of Enlightend One? She goes from like 31 -> 36 AS, and isn't much different besides that. Quad'ing a Brave Blade with +10 Crit, the high evade, and everything else is going to weigh this in her favor.
Aht (RH) vs. Blanca (SH2): Sleep Trap -> Push Attack? It is possible he goes first and heal-locks? Messy.
Fafnir (WA3) vs. Elena (G2)

Edward (FF4) vs. Fina (SoA)

Altima (FFT) vs Rabbid Luigi (Mario Rabbids 1): I think she statuses him out in a window where he isn't immune.
Yunalesca (FFX) vs Elc (AtL2): Regen spoils him for form 3 I think.
Rhea (FE:TH) vs Sephiroth (FF7)

Rubino (Brig) vs Saki (SH2)
Fujin (FF8) vs Kain (TAY)
Hendrik (DQ11) vs Rei (BoF3): Death is unlikely to hit since Hendrik resists it by 50% here... but Rei is getting EX turns. Gonna go with Rei.

Team Fliers: Nina (Breath of Fire 4), Sumia (FE Awakening), Rose (Legend of Dragoon) vs Team Sexy Beasts: Rei (BoF3), Nikki (MK), Kevin (SD3): I think Rei tears Nina apart and it goes downhill for team fliers from there?

Unranked Games / Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth

« on: January 02, 2023, 08:48:15 PM »

Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth

- Level taken at 39.
- This SRPG's core mechanic is "Zeal" and "Action Chains". Action chains are a series of moves that can be stopped midway. Zeal is a resource that fluctuates between 0 and 100. Action Chains may generate or cost Zeal, and other conditions like counters or reaction defenses may increase or cost Zeal.
- When a character ends their turn with 100 Zeal, they enter 'Overzeal" and immediately get another turn. Then, at the end of every turn, they lose a certain amount of Zeal. If that places them at 0 Zeal they exit Overzeal. Executing a "Fatal Strike" attack that is only accessible in Overzeal will also end Overzeal immediately. While in Overzeal, any Zeal costs for actions or reactions is set to 0.
- Depending on a character's innate element, they get different bonuses for Overzeal. By far the most significant is Fire, which gets a +25% bonus to damage. (Wind = Slightly faster, Earth slightly less damage taken, and Water lengthens buff durations).
- Action Chains are effectively attacks/spells that have multiple components. A character has between 3-4 Action Chains and each action chain has between 2-4 parts. An action chain can be cut short at any time if the conditions demand it (for example, if the 4th action would decrease Zeal and prevent Overzeal, or if the 3rd action has a "no Counter" tag and the attacker wants to avoid a counter).
- Reaction skills trigger when the unit is attacked. The % chance of the reaction triggering is provided. If a "Damage reduced by 50%" skill triggers on 1 of 2 attacks in an enemy action chain, then the effect would be a 25% reduction on the damage. Some defensive skills have an "And Ends Action Chain" tag that may be worth more than the nominal rate. If a PC generates 100 Zeal on a counter/defensive skill, they go into Overzeal and get an immediate turn!
- Some PCs (Rulutieh, Atuy, Jachtwald, Munechika, Fumirul kinda) have a "Zone of Control" that prevents an enemy's movement. Exceptions are if the enemy is larger than a single space, has a action that moves them or their foe while attacking, or has a passive skill that negates the zone of control.. This means that, if at any time a unit starts it's turn or enters the space next to these characters, that enemy unit is trapped there, unable to move. So ranged-only characters are out of luck in such a situation. Munechika in particulare can abuse this to ensure she utilizes her "Act twice if not moving" skill...
- BP expenditure: BP are points that can be used to increase stats outside the normal level-up progression. I assumed a BP build that focused on Atk for the most part. This doesn't matter too much since I assumed everyone did the same thing. Perhaps the low durability folks are slightly more durable if you assume everyone spends BP on lots of HP (not a bad idea).
- I included a 'path' of damage to get the highest damage on turns 2-5. Note that these are different paths and don't 'flow' together (So turn 5 might use different moves on turns 1-4 then the best turn 4 damage path).

- Stats:
HP: Per standard. No permadeath but no in-battle revival outside of the main character's OPB auto-revive.
Atk: Attack power for everything including healing and magic.
Def: Stat that reduces Physical/Magical damage. Opposes Atk subtractively, with level a factor as well.
Spd: CTB speed. 200 double-turns 100 speed for example.
Defensive Durability: My accounting of how durable a PC is factoring in HP and defense.
- Criticals: The game utilizes a Timed Hit system. I assumed that players hit these since they aren't too hard, and yield +4 Zeal per action and +20% damage/healing if all are hit. The exception is the "Hidden Critical" system, which gives tiny hard-to-time options for minor increases in damage (4% per one hit) and Zeal gain (2 Zeal gain per hidden crit hit). I ignored this system because it is hard to time and can interfere with the regular crit timing. Ougi and Kiwiru, and Kuon are the ones who would clamor for it the most.

Enemy stats assumed to be Level 39, 65 Atk, 53 Def.

PC stat averages:
HP: 738
Atk: 70.4
Def: 48.9
Spd: 103.23
3-turn damage: 546 (1365 2.5x KO point)
5-turn damage: 526 (1315 2.5x KO point)


Main Character:
Element: None (-35 Zeal/turn Overzeal)
HP: 714 (97%)
Atk: 59
Def: 52
Spd: 102 (99%)
Defensive Durability: 104% (210% after debuffing enemy Def)

Passives:            
Reversal of Fate: OPB Auto-revive with full HP. Overkill damage does Not carry over.            
Tactical Command: Irrelevant ina  duel (negates mental status ailments for allies)            
Morale Boost 3: Irrelevant in a duel. (Allies get +15% stats)            
Law of the Lords: Reduces damage received from 'demihumans' by 20% (most things)            
Sever (Sword Only): Increases damage to demihumans by 20% (the game's humanoid enemies are 'demihumans')            
Quick Rebound 2: Advances Turn Order by 1/3rd of a turn when attacked.                  
Reactions:            
Rejuvenate 2: 25% to dodge an attack and cure self of status ailments. 9 Zeal gain. Usable 2PB      

Action Chains:
Sosei Oubu: 345 Healing. Cures status ailments/debuffs. Costs 10 Zeal but generates 35. Can't send him into Overzeal by itself. (Needs 10 Zeal at turn start)
Ougeki Kyozan: 259 damage. +42 Zeal. Chance to poison target (-20 Zeal/ - 10% HP per turn)
Touou Gekiha (1): 157 damage. +9 Zeal. -25% Atk 2 turns. No Counters.
Touou Gekiha (2): 188 damage. +13/-5 Zeal. -25% Atk 2 turns. No Counters.
Touou Gekiha (3): 197 damage. +17/-55 Zeal. -25% Atk 2 turns. Draws Sword and grants an instant turn. (Needs 50 Zeal at turn start)
Hakuen Ranbu (Sword Only): 305 damage. +12 Zeal. 1 turn Def Debuff (Factored into damage)
Fatal Strike: 554 damage chaining from Hakuen Ranbu's 1-turn Def Debuff.

Turn 2 Damage:  1269
Ougeki Kyogzan -> Ougeki Kyozan -> Touou Gekiha->  Fatal Strike:
Turn 3 Damage: 1771
OK->OK->TG->HR->TG->FS:
Turn 4 Damage: 2030
OK->OK->TG->HR-> TG->FS->OK
Turn 5 Damage: 2736
OKx2->TG->FS->OKx3->TG->FS

Comments: MC's stats are not very impressive but he does have a nice trick alternating healing and an attack that debuffs defense and builds his Zeal. His Touou Gekiha->Hakuen Ranbu is cool but just doesn't have the stats to back it up. He also has a OPB auto-revive and poison.



Kuon:
Element: Earth (default) (-50 Zeal/turn Overzeal)
HP: 732 (99%)
Atk: 68
Def: 52
Spd: 110 (106.6%)
Defensive Durability: 103% (118% after buffing)

Passives:
Permeating Vigor: +10 Zeal at the start of turn for Kuon and allies within 3 squares of her
Eye of Courage: Ignores Zones of Control
Resonance of Heaven and Earth: Immediately heals (i.e. negates) damage from elements of her type
Unyielding: After taking an attack, X% chance to raise Atk by 20%

Reactions:
Solidify: 20% chance to reduce physical damage by 60%, 14 Zeal gain
Inner Alchemy: 75% chance to reduce magic damage by 25% and heal self by 25%, 14 Zeal Gain. 3 Uses Per Battle.

Action Chains:
Kawasami (3): 292 damage, +32 Zeal, drains Zeal = 5% of damage dealt. No counters. Turns Kuon element = fire.
Kawasami (4): 324 damage. drains Zeal = 5% of damage dealt. +36/-10 Zeal

Jushimatsu (2): 267 damage. +23 Zeal. Decreases enemy Def by 20% for 2 turns (increases her damage by ~14.8%, including for this attack. Factored in)
Jushimatsu (3): 307 damage. +27/-5 Zeal. Decreases enemy Def by 20% for 2 turns (increases her damage by ~14.8%, including for this attack. Factored in)

Nuedori: Costs 20 Zeal. Buffs Atk/Def for 2 turns by 20%, sends Kuon into Overzeal. Reduces max HP by 45% for 1 turn. Turns her back to Earth element.

Fatal Strike: 771 damage chaining from Jushimatsu (with the Def down baked in). Inflicts Fear but that is not terribly useful except on Melee-only enemies (they have to run away, but can attack before doing so).

Turn 2 damage: 1373
Jushimatsu (2) -> Kawasami (3) -> Jushimatsu+FS
Turn 3 damage: 1830
J2->K4->K3->FS
Turn 4 damage: 2600
J2->K3->J+FS-> K4 ->N3 -> FS
Turn 5 damage: 3123
J2->K3->J+FS->K3->J3->K3->FS


Comments: Kuon wishes she could heal herself. Without that, she has okay damage (should manage a 2HKO with her def debuff in play). Magic hits her Inner Alchemy which is pretty good. Ocassionally she will buff her own attack after being hit but it isn't something she can count on (~25% of the time, ~25% damage boost?). Nuedori won't see much unless she wants to finish something off on turn 4. She has a limited game of elemental nulling via changing her innate element to match the element attacking her, but she can't access water unless she has something to heal.



Rulutieh:
Element: Wind (-50 Zeal/turn Overzeal)
HP: 925 (125%)
Atk: 61
Def: 48
Spd: 92 (89.1%)
Defensive Durability: 123.9%

Passives:
Apparitions's Birdsong 3: Reduces enemy speed by 10% if they are within 3 squares of Rulutieh
Frightful Aura: Enemies lose 10 Zeal at the beginning of their turn, if within 2 squares of Rulutieh
Breaker: +20% damage to objects
Law of Blood: +20% damage to beasts
Natural Healing: Recovers 20% HP at the start of her turn
Eye of the Fighter II: Enemies that come within 1 square of Rulutieh are trapped there.
Quick Rebound 2: Advances Turn Order by 1/3rd of a turn when attacked.

Reactions:
Pulsation of Life: 25% chance to reduce damage by 25%, and increase max HP by 30% for 2 turns, 14 Zeal Gain
Sixth Sense: 50% chance to dodge ranged attacks (ranged attacks can be at melee range!), 14 Zeal Gain, Increases movement range

Action Chains:
Otome Tsubaki (2): 233 Damage. +38 Zeal. Reduces target Def by 20% for 2 turns (increases damage by 16.5%, factored in)
Otome Tsubaki (3): 272 damage. +42/-5 Zeal. Also applies slight turn delay effect to target.

Yuri-Ne (2): 242 Damage. +41/-12 Zeal. No Counter, applies slight delay to target.
Yuri-Ne (3): 275 Damage. +60/-36 Zeal. No Counter. Knocks enemy away.

Fatal Strike: 583 damage (chaining from Otome Tsubaki)

Hanakagura: 213 Healing. +22 Zeal. Increases movement, and all skill activation rates up for 2 turns.

Turn 2 damage: 1088
Otome Tsubaki (3) ->OT2 ->FS:
Turn 3 damage: 1409
OT3->OT2->YN(3)->FS
Turn 4 damage: 1730
OT3->OT2->YN(3)->YN(3)->FS
Turn 5 damage: 2498
OT3->OT2->OT+FS->OT3->OT3->YN2->FS

Comments: She's very anti-archer, with a zone of control and the 50% evade. Otherwise she has skills/delay to make up for her poor speed (making it very hard to doubleturn her) and regeneration/healing to try and stay in a fight against something without too much damage. 20% regen on good durability is always a sweet bonus.



The Twins, Ururuu and Sarana:
Element: Dark (-60 Zeal/turn OZ, but moot by dark OZ doubling Zeal gains)
HP: 542 (73.4%)
Atk: 80 (88 while Mothmoth summoned)
Def: 31 (34 while Mothmoth summoned)
Spd: 90 (87.2%) (99 while Mothmoth summoned)
Defensive Durability: 60.3%

Passives:
Soul Crush: Deals +20% damage to divine beings
Law of the Origin: Takes 20% less damage from divine beings

Reactions:
Vestige of the Abyss: 75% chance to reduce an attack's damage by 85% and summon a Mothmoth. 14 Zeal Gain
[Mothmoth increases their damage by ~25%]
Foresight: 25% chance to dodge an attack and end the attacker's action chain. 14 Zeal Gain

Action Chains:
Soei Musou (4): 284 damage. +40 Zeal. No Counters. Next turn comes slighly faster (5%?)
Soei Musou (5): 312 damage. +44/-18 Zeal. Summons Mothmoth Next turn comes slighly faster (5%?)

Rekka Sohazan: 325 damage. +38 Zeal. Inflicts Curse (no Heal/Zeal gains). Heals twins for 25% of the damage done. No Counters.

Sobu Gekishoha (1): 380 damage. +28/-20 Zeal. Decreases target spd by 20%. No Counters/Dodge.
Sobu Gekishoha (2): 488 damage. +41/-60 Zeal. Decreases target speed by 20%, Inflicts Fear (only useful if enemy is melee and started next to Twins that turn). No Counters/Dodge/Block.

Fatal Strike: 542 damage. Reduces target Max HP by 10% (kinda meaningless).

Turn 2 damage: 1193
Rekka Sohazan->RS->RS->FS
Turn 3 damage: 1627
RS->RS->SG->SG
Turn 4 damage: 2115
RS->RS->SG->SG->SG
Turn 5 damage: 2712
RS->RS->FS->RS->RS->RS->FS

Comments: Terrible speed/durability. Their hope is to trigger Vestige of the Abyss or Foresight, and the Mothmoth to buff their damage enough (and not be KO'd by full MT damage) that it helps they themselves scratch out a KO before a foe gets a 3rd turn.



Nosuri:
Element: Fire (-65 Zeal/turn Overzeal)
HP: 651 (88.2%)
Atk: 70
Def: 41
Spd: 112 (108.5%)
Defensive Durability: 80.4%

Passives:
Dire Awakening: +30% damage when under 25% HP
Desperation: Instantly gain 100 Zeal when below 25% HP. Note that this gives her an instant turn.

Reactions:
Perfect Far Dodge: 75% chance to evade a ranged attack and end attacker's action chain. +14 Zeal. 3 uses per battle

Action Chains:

Harran Reppu (3): 279 damage, +34 Zeal

Shippu Dotou (2):  193 damage. +50 Zeal. Inflicts Confuse (Enemy randomly attacks allies/enemies)

Rakuyoko Kikon (1): 258 damage. +4 Zeal. No Counter/Dodge.
Rakuyoko Kikon (2): 258 damage. +8/-15 Zeal. No Counters. 246 Healing. Buffs attack by 20% for next 2 turns (+37% damage. Doesn't factor in this turn)
Rakuyoko Kikon (3): 456 damage. +12/-25 Zeal. 246 Healing. Buffs attack by 20% for next 2 turns (+37% damage. Does factor in this turn)

Final Strike: 564 damage, including the fire Overzeal damage bonus.

Turn 2 damage: 1042
HR3 -> SD2 -> RK3
Turn 3 damage: 1813
HR3-> SD2 -> RK3 -> Fatal Strike
Turn 4 damage: 2196
HR3-> SD2 -> RK3 -> Fatal Strike->HR3
Turn 5 damage:  2841
HR3->SD2->RK3->FS->SD2->SD2->RK3


Comments: Nosuri is above average speed, has a limit range, and some healing/attacking/status. But her inability to be consistent about her healing and the status not being good hurts what would otherwise be a solid package. She can use Shippu Dotou to trigger Overzeal every other turn, and then use two Rakuyo Kikon's while in Overzeal. This lets her use her healing 2 out of every 3 turns, which may help stave off KOs or save her against low damage dealers. Being fire elemental gives her the damage buff in Overzeal.



Ougi:
Element: Fire (-75 Zeal/turn Overzeal)
HP: 775 (105%)
Atk: 65
Def: 51
Spd: 122 (118.2%)
Defensive Durability: 107.7%

Passives:
Shadow Run: Can run through enemies and ignore ZoCs
Ambush: Attacking from behind target increases damage/status odds by 25%. Damage numbers assume this is the case.
Art of Revenge 2: 75% chance to counterattack

Reactions:
Enkan: 65% chance to negate enemy close-range attack and stop action chain. Costs 35 Zeal, 14 Zeal restored.

Action Chains:

Shiden Issen (4):  344 damage. +46 Zeal. No Dodge. Inflicts Slow (movement down). Inflicts Stupefy 1 turn (Only 1 action in an Action Chain).
Shiden Issen (5): 372 damage. +50/-10 Zeal. No Dodge, Inflicts Slow/Stupefy.

Unjoh Ryuhen (3): 307 Damage. +47/-15 Zeal. Inflicts Daze for 1 turn (No actions/move, no passives work, no counters/reactions). No Counter/Dodge/Blocking. 2/3rds Magic 1/3rd physical.

Fatal Strike (Chains from either): 581 damage (includes Fire Overzeal bonus). Drains half damage dealt as HP.

Counter:
Yakumozan (2): 121 damage. +12 Zeal. Inflicts Venom (-20 Zeal/-10% HP per turn)
Yakumozan (3): 149 damage. +18/-10 Zeal. Inflicts Venom.

Turn 2 damage:  1269
SI5->SI4->FS
Turn 3 damage:  1762
SI5->SI4->SI5->FS
Turn 5 damage: 2967
SI5->SI4->FS->SI5->SI5->SI4->FS


Comments: Fast deblitiating status. Counters. Enkan for blocking melee attacks. Fire Overzeal yields +25% damage so his HP draining isn't too bad. In point of fact it isn't hard to get two of his *7* hidden Criticals on Shiden Issen (4), so he could in theory get 50+ Zeal/turn and Overzeal every other turn, if one allows that.



Nekone:
Element: Water (-75 Zeal/turn Overzeal)
HP: 601 (81.4%)
Atk: 62
Def: 39
Spd: 102 (98.8%)
Defensive Durability: 72.7% (81.4% with Def Buff)

Passives:
Terrain Advantage: Negates terrain effects
Stance of Offense and Defense: Can take both an offensive action and a healing action on the same turn. Yes.
Shikigami Companion: At the beginning of the unit's turn, summons a Kiripon Type 1 (Which just takes a space and can draw enemy attacks/block enemy movement)

Reactions:
Shikigami Artifice: 75% chance to reduce damage by 85% and summon a Kiripon Type-II unit. 14 Zeal Gain, 1 use per battle (Kiripon 2 acts immediately, goes next to enemy, and traps them in a Zone of Control, but is easy to OHKO).

Action Chains:
Yuzutsu (2): 203 fire magic damage. +28/-4 Zeal No Blocking. Places a flame sigil on enemy (does ~100 damage at start of enemy's turn)
Waisei (2): 257 wind magic damge. +28/-8 Zeal. No Counters. Inflicts Hex (No healing/Zeal gains). Places a Windhole Sigil on enemy space (Enemy takes +15% damage, already included in this damage)

Seigetsu (2): 458 healing. +24/-6 Zeal. Removes Status. Places a defense tile on target (-20% damage)

Hakko (3): 174 Healing/+25% Def/Heal Sigils. +12/-25 Zeal. Gain 20 Zeal. Increase max HP by 20% for 2 turns.

"Fatal" Strike: Chains off of one of the healing moves. Fullheal to an area and buffs speed by 15% for 6 turns.

Turn 2 damage: 771
Wasei x3
Turn 3 damage: 1028
Wasei x4
Turn 4 damage: 1542
Wasei x6
Turn 5 damage: 1799
Wasei x7


Comments: Nekone is slow and frail but can attack and heal every turn, and buffs herself in the process. In her Overzeal turns, she should start off with her Fatal Strike heal to end it and then immediately use the Attack part of her turn to start generating Zeal again, so she can enter Overzeal every other turn. Her Shikigami Artifice helps make sure she can get this wheel going.



Kiwiru:
Element: Earth (-50 Zeal/turn OZ)
HP: 682 (92.4%)
Atk: 61
Def: 46
Spd: 104 (100.7%)
Defensive Durability: 89.2% (99% after buffing Defense)

Passives:
Hunt: +20% damage to beasts
Serenity 1: -25% Zeal Costs. Have 25 Zeal after a Fatal Strike.
Stance of Immovable Attack Chain: If unit doesn't move, get 2 actions instead of 1...

Reactions:
First Aid 3: 50%  after a physical attack to heal self for 40% and gain 14 Zeal. 3 times per battle
Rejuvenate 3: 50% chance to dodge a physical attack, remove status on self, and gain 14 Zeal. 3 times per battle.

Action Chains:

Hachiku (3): 220 damage. +26/-3 Zeal. Reduces target speed by 15% for 2 turns.

Fukuryubai (1): No Move ranged only. Does 183 fixed ITD Earth damage. +9 Zeal.
Fukuryubai (2): No Move ranged only. 230 damage. +13/-11 Zeal. Decreases target move. No Counter.
Fukuryubai (3): No Move Ranged Only. 275 damage. +17/-29 Zeal. No Counter/Dodge. Delays target's turn slightly.

Fatal Strike: 375 Earth magic damage.

Matsukasa (2): +8/-10 Zeal. Increases def by 20% for 2 turns. 127 Healing. Recovers status. (Can be used twice in a row).

Turn 2 damage: 484
Hachiku (4)x2
Turn 3 damage: 726
H4 x3
Turn 4 damage: 1596
H4x3->H3->F3+FS
Turn 5 damage: 1838
H4x3->H3->F3+FS ->H4


Comments: Kiwiru wants his enemy to stay put so he can get two turns consistently. Sadly this isn't likely to be the case, so Kiwiru is underwhelming. What's more, he really wants to get the single hidden crit on Hachiku (3) so that he can get +25 Zeal/turn. This would allow him to get to Overzeal faster. On an Overzeal turn, Kiwiru can act twice (since presumably he would have entered it from attack range). His healing is too weak to help him much.



Atuy:
Element: Water (-50 Zeal/turn OZ)
HP: 754 (102.1%)
Atk: 82
Def: 53
Spd: 107 (105.2%)
Defensive Durability: 107.4% (135% with Def Up, 189.5% after debuffing enemy Atk, tink tink tink if both are in effect).

Passives:
Enhanced Formation: 50% chance to get another turn after defeating an enemy. Or Object.
Eye of the Fighter I: Can trap 1 unit next to Atuy in a Zone of Control.
Art of Revenge 2: 75% chance to counterattack
Stance of Far Sprinting: Can use two move actions in a row if no attack action is used.

Reactions:
Energize: 40% chance to reduce physical damage by 60% and increase defense by 30% (the higher def applies to the attack). +14 Zeal
Vicissitudes: 25% chance to dodge a close attack and raise attack power by 25% (+44% damage) for 1 turn. +14 Zeal

Action Chains:

Isana (3): 391 Water physical damage. +43 Zeal.
Isana (4): 453 Water physical damage. +47/-8 Zeal.

Makajiki (3): 411 Water physical damage. +30/-12 Zeal. No Counter. Lowers target Atk by 20% for 2 turns. Reduces target Max HP by 15%, which applies before the damage does.

Fatal Strike (chains from either): 708 water physical damage. Applies a 20% speed debuff for 2 turns.

Counter:
Tokishirazu (1): 212 damage. +12 Zeal.
Tokishirazu (2): 283 damage. +16/-8 Zeal. Inflicts Daze (~50%?)

Turn 2 damage: 1552
I4->I3->FS
Turn 3 damage: 2005
I4->I3->FS->I4
Turn 4 damage: 2458
I4->I3->FS->I4->I4
Turn 5 damage:  3557
I4->I3->FS->I4->I4->I3->FS


Comments: Atuy has solid stats and can probably KO by turn 2. She can debuff Attack very effectively. She has good anti-physical reactions that buff her own stats and can ensure mages eat her counters via ZoC. Her counterattacks might inflict Daze, eating foes' turns. Considering her selling point (free turns when she KOs something) is pointless in a duel, she is a good fighter. Opening with her debuff skill can help complete a 3HKO by reducing the target's max HP by 15% before the damage is applied (so adds 15% of target max HP to the 1st turn damage).



Anju:

SH3->SH3->TF2->FS
Turn 4 damage: 2610
SH3->SH3->SH3->SH3->FS
Turn 5 damage: 3147
SH3x5->FS

Comments: Anju has a game of "Figure out how to get to Overzeal to wreck something and fullheal. It's... kind of hard. She'll generally only reach it on turn 3, and can't reliably get to it without considerable self-damage or triggering counters after the first time. Tiger's Bloodlust is very dangerous. Her counters are unreliable. Going Tenka Fubu->Seitenx2 to get Overzeal turn 3 involves taking 11% self-damage... which isn't great, and Tenka Fubu3->TF2 means taking 42% self-damage... It is worth pointing out that if Anju is the last fighter on the field and DOES KO herself and the enemy at the same time, she wins in-game.



Jachtwald:
Element: Wind (-50 Zeal/turn OZ)
HP: 824 (111.6%)

Action Chains:

Kagematsuba (2): 290 Wind/Phys damage. +32 Zeal
Kagematsuba (3): 327 damage. +42 Zeal. Enters 'Reppu' Stance', setting speed to 80, Def to 77 and enabling stance counter/dodge.

Tsukuyozuru (3): 430 Wind/Phys damage. +12/-12 Zeal. No Dodge. Enters Sheathed Stance 'Shippu', which enables Sheathed Dodge/Counter, it sets speed to '80' but reduces wait time to give a speed equivalent to 136 [131.7%].

Fatal Strike: 518 wind physical damage. Can be triggered from Kagematsuba or a counter if in Overzeal.

Counter: (Range 2)
Senranzakura (3): 260 damage. +24 Zeal. Reduces target Def by 20% (Included in damage). [If in a Stance, this instead does 317 damage]

Comments: Jachtwald is solid on all fronts but speed. And that speed is complicated by one of his stances reducing it even futher. And that is complicated by one of the stances incresing his speed. And that is complicated by him getting a turn regardless of speed if he gets an evade off. It is all... complicated. It is generally a bad idea to let Jachtwald get going however.

IF ENEMY IS NOT TRAPPED AFTER TURN 1 (larger, various skills)
Turn 2 damage: 614
S3->S3
Turn 3 damage: 1848
S3->S3->S3->FS+S3

Turn 5 damage: 2461
S3->S3->S3->FS+S3 -> S3 ->S3


Comments: The Wall herself. In most battles, Munechika will be attacking twice every turn, except for perhaps the first turn. Enemies trapped by her will have to take her counters 75% of their attacks. Her defensive skill increases her durability further... Munechika is probably the best dueler in the cast. She's tanky enough to just heal/attack her way through even big damage, with counters and the defensive skill and overzeal turns to help.



Fumirul:
Element: Light (-80 Zeal/turn OZ)
HP: 686 (92.9%)
Atk: 68
Def: 48
Spd: 92 (89.1%)
Defensive Durability: 91.9% (229% after debuffing enemy Atk...)

Passives:
Inescapable Charms: Puts nearby enemy male units in a taunted state
Wink of Destruction: Establishes a Zone of Control for enemy Male units.
Morale Surge 2: Male allies within 2 squares get +10% Atk/Def/Spd
Exorcize: +20% damage against undead enemies
Stance of Offense and Defense: Can take both an offensive action and a healing action on the same turn. Unfortunately useless for her in a duel
Grateful Heart 2: Echoes Healing on her by utilizing her own healing chain when healed... Useless in a duel...

Reactions:
Defensive Healing: 25% chance to reduce damage by 35% and heal for 102 HP.

Action Chains:

Mitsugetsu (3): 345 Wind/Light damage. +36/-8 Zeal. No Counter. Reduces Enemy Atk by 30% (massive effect)

Suika (2): 183 Magic Water damage. Applies Stupefy (only 1 action/Action chain), and reduces enemy Move by 2. Not usable after moving, ranged only.

Fatal Strike: 497 damage. (Chains from Mitsugetsu)

Turn 2 damage: 690
Mitsugetsux2
Turn 3 damage: 1531
Mitsugetsux3->FS
Turn 4 damage: 1876
Mitsugetsux3->FS->M
Turn 5 damage: 2221
Mitsugetsux3->FS->Mx2


Comments: Fumirul is probably the best character in the game, but in a duel she is badly underpowered. Her attack debuff is so effective that it might save her in a duel, but only just.
