which makes the little convos with sidequest npcs rly funny, because it makes him look like 'i work alone what do you want. fine i'll help you but i'm gonna be mad about it' and then gets 7 other idiots to follow him around

anyway also good to know my strategy of break enemies, then funnel all resources into cyrus and watch him nuke all the enemies from orbit is still EXTREMELY effective

cyrus my beloved nuke who falls over like a stiff breeze if he gets hit

you say that as hes the only one in my party who has died twice so far

even therion isnt that bad, but therions evasion is so high he doesnt get hit like 80% of the time

im impressed that i remembered where the dancer shrine was and managed to get there with only cyrus dying for one of the aforementioned times

...immediately gave it to therion, tho im trying to unlock all the thcief skills first. b/c it makes him disgustingly fast

oh yeah, forgot my other strategy: stealing anything that isn't nailed down and can get my gremlin gay hands on

ive gotten alfyn, made a beeline directly for cyrus b/c genuinely he's one of the most useful characters especially in battle

the fact he can automatically reveal weaknesses and he starts OUT with attacks that hit multiple enemies

in three of the six elements no less

me using share sp on therion to recharge him then stealing more from the enemies :Y

tho sometimes even when i boost it twice it only steals like 4 back so i guess its a percentage of damage that therion deals to remaining hp

b/c if the enemies near death he gets like nothing, and he's overleveled due to bering my protag for everyones chapter 1s....

that will hopefully be less of an issue going on

yeah i think cyrus / therion / alfyn and then usually prim were my four through most of my playthroughs... prim's buffs chef's kiss

yesss, also one of my fave characters

combined with therions debuffs its very good against bosses

also love i can,just summon A Guy

(gender neutral)

alfyns concoct is stupid op, tho i had gone for him first bc he was closer (do i ship them a tiny bit? maybe) but also i remember phili's first boss beimg really hard

im now womdering how doable solo character runs would be....i think youd have to have the other characters in your party but they can be KOed...i want to find all the shrines too to get secondary jobs

but only therion is like lvl 18 so far

i jist need to pick up phili and haanit once i finish tressas story

alfyn/therion is absolutely my favorite octo1 ship you're so valid >>
