Well, it sounds like you went through a lot of steps to get your team exactly how you wanted, especially if you did grinding up to level 70 already. I know you and I approach RPGs differently, so I have to give you kudos for going the extra mile. I find that if I don’t like my point spreads for a class, I’ll just have them rest and take the 2 level hit in order to relook over the skill list. Once you get more and more into the game it becomes easier to figure out what kind of synergy you can do with your team. Etrian 5 is pretty flexible on what’s possible thanks to how the classes work and the masteries you can go for, depending on what your team may need.

I played through with a Pugilist, Fencer, Warlock, Shaman and Rover (with the default races for each based on the class portraits) and I completed everything with that team, including the super boss. Can’t remember the masteries I went for without looking at my copy, but I don’t recall too many problems. All my healing came from passives via skills and there were a few times I had to reorient my skills depending on a boss weakness, but I completed everything on my first run with them.

You might want to have your Dragoon become a gun focused Dragoon instead of a defense heavy one. Their damage output with a gun focus is actually really good, and one NPC you can use for a later quest has one of their untyped damage skills in their arsenal. I’m terrible with remembering skill names, but it’s one worth investing in since it can do such high damage. You can still invest in Bunker since that takes a spot on the very front lines to protect the party, but that way you can have your Dragoon help out with overall damage.

What team are you using in Etrian 5?

Think about what day it is, DQ2. And we’re on a DQ fan site. So it’s Questmas instead of Christmas.

Fastest time I’ve gotten on Very Hard is 25 seconds, funnily enough with Cloud. Before that it took me about a minute on Very Hard to beat him with Ness.

There’s a video of someone beating him in 2 seconds.

I beat him on the 4th try of Very Hard difficulty and unlocked him, the stage and music. Not gonna lie, beating him was super satisfying and unlocking everything early from it was awesome. I wish they had done this with the other DLC characters or can do this sort of thing going forward.

(Watches the clip)

Of course it was Hannibal that kicked him in the face. Haha

Yeah, the Mario bit was pretty funny for sure. I was like “Oh no, something bad happened to Mario in a Smash trailer again!” But the “Gotcha!” moment was pretty good.

Definitely wasn’t expecting him to be added to the roster! Haha

He looks fun to play as. And having another Final Fantasy/RPG series rep is nice. Now I’m curious what costumes for Miis will come along with the update...

All I ask for is the Chocobo Hat back!

YES!!! I did it!

If you get back to it let me know. We can go on hunts together.

I’m still holding out hope we’ll see a DQ fighting game, Iggy. And when we do, I hope the Builder is one of the characters.

@Twinkiehe’s good for traps and edge guarding. I’ve gotten some use from the block making and TNT.

I play as most everyone, so a new character with a playstyle like this is so much fun to learn and play. Only thing I wish the characters had is the old “OOF,” sound effect from the early days of Minecraft when they are KO’d.

Mmm...the salt pleases me. 

Well, the new character is Steve from Minecraft.

Man, the internet is going to have a field day with this one. I don’t play Minecraft, but Steve’s moveset looks like it could be interesting. Gives me a Mr. Game & Watch kind of vibe.

Yeah, I saw that had happened. Pretty stupid they did that, but I also think it’s not cool they are asking for $60 for the Switch version. Guess it might be one of those games I ask for for Christmas instead of using money out of my pocket.

The drought from them is pretty bad, not gonna lie. I have a good sized backlog to get through so I’m fine with no big releases, but I’m wondering what the heck is with no news of any kind. I get that COVID has something to do with it, but I feel like they would have had some games close to being finished that they could release or announce.

I’ll just keep working through Xenoblade Chronicles and the other RPGs I need to get back to in the mean time I guess. Haha

I got SS Rogue from the free pull yesterday.

Haha, yeah, that was pretty funny. As soon as I saw they were in a ramen shop I figured it was going to be Min Min, but the build up to the reveal was well done. Very happy with her inclusion.

Also, I’m glad various other ARMs characters join in for the final smash.

I just need to have more faith. Faith will see us through!

True. Not sure how good that one is, but regardless that’s another option.

I’ve heard for portable Katamari the best one to check out is Me and My Katamari on PSP. I think you can download it for Vita from the Playstation Store, but I’m not 100% sure on that.

Sounds like you need something like Katamari Damacy or something else kind of wacky.

Sure does!
