Ultimate is either going to be a giant fuckoff laser or a ridiculous sword slash of soome sort, need to look at ulti mods

Definitely something single target

we have enough AoE on this team that I should be re-doing some stuff so that Kazuki has a lot more single-target power.

yeah with this build I could probably throw like

double mook counts at you

in all fights

and you'd be all right

I always approve of just throwing huge numbers of guys at us

same

I'm probably keeping Zenshin Rush as-is, or relatively similar feeling

though I might do something else with it, maybe make it a debuff- or maybe that it's the Sapping Strike?

since Sapping Strike is typically better against LOADS OF MOOKS

so like

Rush Attack + Sapping Strike + Dash L1, pile on the damage core

what sapping strike is good against is enemies with low def/res

Which, typically, if you're throwing a bunch of dudes at us, they have way lower defense/resistance, I would think?

I just love the idea of sapping strike because I actually am a sucker for DoTs

soldiers actually have similar def/res to elites

the optimal use cases for Sapping Strike are

1: This guy is built like a brick, I'll use a res-based sap on him and ruin his day

2: My friends have def/res debuffs

Well we do have a fair amount of debuffs

I need something to differentiate Zenshin Rush from Brilliant Fungoes, since right now they're both in the space of "hit a lot of dudes at the same time"

Sage Guard is definitely going, I'm probably going to give Kazuki like

Kiai, aka "Raise physical stats temporarily for Health Cost"

I just don't use it as much

Hama Lance is becoming a piercing attack

I'll probably give Kazuki something like, Hama Burst as his basic attack

EVEN WITH VERSATILE FIGHTER I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TP FOR ALL THIS

but luckily I'll get it sorted out and I think by season 2 I'll just be upgrading techs

because Kazuki has a -lot- of techs

also I think making whatever Sapping Strike i do target resistance is

probably the smarter move

since the majority of enemies we've been facing have been defense tanks

I MAY BE WRONG

but that's my coloring of the situation

...actually Flash Draw will probably becomes Kazuki's basic melee range tech, so

shouldn't waste TP on that

OK ANYWAY, attributes are going the way they always are

which is

one each in Agility, Mind, and Guts

so that Dex, Int, and Res can all be on the same level

which means Aura and Strength are HILARIOUSLY low i should do something about that, eventually

at least Aura

doesn't Kouki have a lot of debuffs?

Kouki, Emiko and Natsumi all have debuffs

as does Aiko

right, so we actually have a shitload of debuffs

ProfessorProf need your help on something, since I might have found some Errata.

Persistent Effect applies to Boost Cores, but doesn't have any sort of cost, b/c Special Attack Modifiers do not change boosts in any waay

Oh?

ooooh ok I see

so bardic buff zone, got it
