I'm in the World of Ruin, just before Daryl's Tomb - hahah this is my first time playing FF6, I bought the SNES cartridge to play it in its original format, so please, no spoilers.
Basically I'm having trouble deciding how to build my characters. I looked up some algorithms to see what attacks are what type so I could better know who to level with strength and who to level with magic power. Basically I know to always level Sabin with the +2 Strength (I'm sure there are other Espers later that give better bonuses, but generally I know to level him with the best) because basically all his attacks work off of Vigor/Strength. I have pretty much given up on Celes as a fighter, she does great with Gauntlet and best weapon equipped but Atma = no Runic is frustration, so I don't like to use it with her. I could Genji it though, still considering that. But her stats are better for Magic anyway, so I think I'll stick with Mag Power +1 when I level her. I'm having trouble placing Setzer and to a lesser extent Edgar. It seems based on Hyper Wrist equip/unequip testing that his tools are based off his vigor, so I guess it's best to level him with Strength, but with Setzer I have no clue what his Slot abilities work off of. I'm thinking of just building him for magic and using GP Rain when in dire straits since it's got nothing to do with his stats, but I don't know how good of an idea that is. Otherwise if/when Gau and Relm show back up I have no interest in doing anything with them. As far as Locke is concerned (who I know will show back up) I like the Genji glove with atma weapon equipped - in fact it's frustrating that he's about the only character I can happily use Atma on, since just about everyone else gets more mileage from their innate abilities like Swordplay or Blitz and the rest can't even equip it. It's just a little lame... I would've loved to make Celes a sword lady =(
What are you guys' thoughts? Are there any particularly good combos I don't know about/am not seeing? I looked up some algorithm FAQs but they mostly yielded formulas for fight damage and "physical damage" but don't actually tell me what sorts of things (like Slot, or certain Blitz attacks) fall under the category of physical damage. Any help would be appreciated - any specification on categories of attacks would as well, or a better FAQ. Thanks!
