Wall rune makes the user unable to counterattack?

[gildedtalon]

Can someone check?

[sporefrog]

just tried it with riou.he can still counter.

[gildedtalon]

then how are we gonna handle Lucia? I should boost Riou's ATK till what number?
Okay, so it is vital that we collect Fire Lizard rune from Sindar ruins as that is the only way to kill Riou after Lucia since we gonna boost his DEF and MDEF so high
If there is a boss resistant to fire, Riou with Fire Lizard won't deal any damage to himself?

[sporefrog]

I would leave his magic defense as low as possible.I wanted to boost his mdef,but I think ist better to just give him 5 jizos(3 on him and 2 in the main inventory so he can pick another up after he used 2).what do you say.I dont know if he does damage to himself,but with a low mdef,the enemy can kill him easier:-)

[gildedtalon]

We can't equip Sacrificial Jizo in battle, I just tried. It doesn't show in the list of items you can take from the bag
Okay, so no boss is invulnerable to fire element, should be good enough

[sporefrog]

still...dont boost his mdef.he will have very high power,so he will kill himself IF he hits his target.but I am pretty sure,the hit rate depends on his skill stat,and his skill will be nothing until the end of the game,so basically,he will never hit the later enemies.his defense will be high too,so the enemy cant kill him with normal attacks.if you boost his mdef too,he will become a level 2 invincible riou,lol:-)

you can save just before Lucia.I would retry this battle until he dodges at least 2 attacks from her,so he can survive with 3 jizos.just in case,have the Stone of Magic defense with you,so you can still use the trick if he never dogdes.

If you are playing this on emulator, I can give you my save

[sporefrog]

that would be great but sorry,playstation 2:-(

[gildedtalon]

Just download the emulator from this thread. I just downloaded it again today coz my emulator is not working properly so I just deleted it lol while copying the memory cards folder to somewhere else first

http://suikosource.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=8344

Later, once you set up everything, just paste my memory cards to the folder that contains the memory cards

I still have my Riou without the power stone boost in another savefile

I can't kill Riou in Mercenary Fort...

I'm right before taking the boat to Kuskus from Coronet, already won the dice and the circus trio already joined my party. made another savefile for this point in another memory card just in case I mess up

[sporefrog]

thanks gilded,but I must say,I hate emulators.
I only use emulators to test super metroid hacks,before making a cartridge for the snes.I am a super metroid maniac,as you can see in my video at 4:25.

what do you mean,you cant kill riou in mercenary fort?do you mean the battles against the highlands before saving pilika?

[gildedtalon]

Yes

But I'm already the point after defeating Abomination. Saving in another savefile as well just in case I screw up

Pest Rat is gonna be really hard without Riou, any party suggestion and rune setup?

I'm thinking of getting Riou's ATK to 170 before facing Amada, DEF to 150

[sporefrog]

do you do a minimum recruitment run?or is your primary goal to see a Level 7 mazus?

[gildedtalon]

Low level Georg and Mazus as you put it. I'm afraid Hanna is missable?

Lots of characters I haven't recruited, I only recruit characters I like lol

I already recruited Gilbert and see Clive&Elza's first event in Muse, let's hope Celes' list of missable characters is correct

My SODs now are Riou, Nanami, Viktor, Flik, Freed Y, Eilie, Rina, Bolgan, Rikimaru, Shiro, Gengen, Kinnison, Leona, Apple, Tsai, Millie, Gilbert

[sporefrog]

pest rat with riou solo is already not funny but I will have to kill it with nanami solo...

remember,you will need a level 4 castle to recruit mazus and you cannot recruit wakaba and l.c.chan.

[gildedtalon]

So is Hanna missable? I purposely don't want to recruit her so early
Templton missable?
