the toughest boss

[Wolf Kanno]

Necron may hit hard but his attacks have the unfortunate side effect of raising your parties Trance Gauge twice as fast and as many know, if Steiner, Zidane, or Vivi goes into Trance, most battles is quickly over and it's really funny when all three go into Trance.

Trance is useless for everyone except Vivi, Eiko, and maybe Freya. It's utter crap for everyone else, and will only be useful in battle if your characters are weak. The only time I relied on Trance was at the very beginning against the plant in the Evil Forest and against the first Black Waltz.

I'll agree that Vivi and Eiko make the most of Trance (Freya I would disagree cause she can't keep consistant high numbers) but Zidane and Steiner gain the ability to do consistant 9999hp damage with little to no mp usage. How's that useless? Sure Steiner can do it without it but Shock and Stock Break can be expensive considering how little MP the old boy has, it's more usefull to have him do it for free.

Zidane can deal 9999 with Thievery so his Trance is useless and makes dealing damage more expensive. Steiner's Trance would be nice if he could deal 9999 for physical attacks, but his regular SwdTech attacks cost far too much.

By end game all of Zidane's Dyne skills do 9999 damage, even True Energy which is cheaper to cast than Thievery, also unless their is a trick to Thievery, I have never been able to get it to do that type of damage it usually does about 5000 to 6000 points at most.

Steiner's Trance ability doubles his attack power which menas by endgame, he begins to do 9999 points of damage with his normal attacks. It's the reason I keep him in my party.

When you get four people dishing out 9999 six times per round (using X-magic) Necron drops pretty quickly.
