Strategies and Tactics

[Skyblade]

oh yeah, 100...I get confused with 2 or more numbers...

The thing with Sidewinder is that it is only powerful against monsters. Any other unit, it does normal damage. So that limits its versatility a bit. And yes, Ultima Shot is a very powerful move, but...ok no buts....

And concentrate I wouldn't say is a powerful ability. I would say it is useful, because it does no damage, it just greatly increases accuracy for ranged classes. So it has no 'power' as such to be 'powerful'.

Also, what do you prefer? Doublehand, or Monkey Grip? I don't use shields much, so I have no need for an extra space, and I like my units giving out massive damage, so I am going to go with Doublehand.

Btw, Great thread Sky!

Ultima Shot does have one "but", the same one that all Ultima abilities have: an MP cost of 60.

Concentrate isn't technically powerful. Then again, neither is Last Breath. Nevertheless, combined the two turn into a fire and forget weapon that can take out almost anyone. Concentrate affects more than just ranged attacks. It affects all attacks. That's where it's power lies. No support abilities do damage. They just augment the other abilities a character has. Double Sword on its own is useless. It's only when you equip two swords that it does anything. Any ability used incorrectly is useless. I put this thread here so that we could discuss how to use abilities to their full potential.

Monkey Grip is useful if you wish to equip a Greatsword/Broadsword and a shield at once. Period. Other than that, it is useless. Since I find both Greatswords and Broadswords useless (The Master Sword and the Estreledge, the most powerful of those two weapon types at 59 and 77 Atk, respectively, are pocketknives compared to the Knightswords, which are one handed [the Excalibur 2: 87, the Nagrarok: 75, and the Sequence: 999 {potentially}]. Hell, the Chirijiraden [65] is more powerful than the Master Sword), I don't bother with it. I do use Doublehand, however, because I often give up a shield, and wear a Bangaa Helm, Genji Armlets, Adamantine Armor, and Ninja Tabi, but that falls into the realm of personal preference (not to mention your ability to obtain the rare items in large quantities).
