Technicks

[MAS82587]

i recently started playing ffxii, and i'm about to go to the mine on Bhujerba. I was gonna stop and by some technicks, but i realize that i havent used them much up to this point. are there any of them worth buying? come to think of it, i havent used the gambits much either. should i be?

[LunarWeaver]

Gambits are epic delicious and should definitely be used. Actually, how have you had the patience to not use them up to that point =O

Techniks you can live without. I never used them at all my first time and was fine. A few are useful here and there... I guess. Like...somebody will think of one for me.

charge... sort of

[No.78]

Charge is the best technick

I cant think of anything else

Steal maybe

[Flying Mullet]

Libra is nice.

[Roto13]

Libra, Charge, and to a lesser extent, Steal are the most useful Technicks.

You're actually really close to a place where you can get shetloads of money by just wandering around one room. :P

[Quindiana Jones]

I always have Gambit room for Self MP <20% - Charge and Self - Libra on all characters, and Enemy HP >70% - Steal on Vaan. Then there's other useful Technicks like 1000 Needles, which I use Gambit Foe: flying - 1,000 Needles on any melee characters. I will change it to Telekinesis when I can.

So yes, when you successfully utilise both Gambits and Technicks, the game is better. It's more fun, easier (in a sense), and can make your team pretty kickass.

[LunarWeaver]

Oh yeah, Libra, Charge and Steal See, I knew I just couldn't think of them. I did use Libra and Steal a lot, and Charge a few times. You also should get 1000 Needles so you can pretend you're a cactuar.

[Crossblades]

Libra, Steal, Charge, Telekinesis, Sight Unseeing and 1000 Needles are all worth getting

[Roto13]

You don't really need everyone to use Libra, though. As long as one person is always with Libra status, you'll get the exact same effect.

[rubah]

Isn't there an item you can equip for libra status? I always like that because I never could tell when libra wore off and then BANG trap time.

[Snap Jumper]

Yep. Equip the Bangle.

That's why you use the gambit. That way you always have Libra on (unless you're in the middle of a fight), and you have the Accessory slot free for useful things.

That's also why I have Libra on all characters. If it runs out in the middle of a fight on the only character with it activated, I can't see the enemy's health etc.

Yep. Equip the Bangle.

The Bangle wastes the slot, in my opinion. I'd much rather throw an Embroidered Tippet or a Golden Amulet in there.

I always have these Gambits on someone: (in no particular order)
Self - Libra
Self MP <20% - Charge
Self - Protectga
Self - Shellga
Self - Bubble
Ally: Any - Regen
Ally: HP <50% - Curaja

And then you just edit the rest depending on what you want your character to do.

[Roto13]

Almost anything is more useful than the bangle accessory that gives you Libra. :P

at the point in time I was recalling, it was before you get fancy equipments or probably a bunch of gambit slots. (pre raithwall's tomb)
