On the PSP vers, not Reborn. I remember hearing that the Lord class can use any ability but when I tried to transfer HP infusion it said the class can't learn it (same for double shot from archers or meditate from mages).
I got the "good" ending and saw a few scenes with Azelstan, Vyce, Olivya and Canopus/Glidas/Mirdyn. I read afterwards there's also meant to be scenes with other characters, such as Donnalto and Ozma. I used those two a lot (and they had high loyalty) and never once used Vyce, Olivya or Azelstan, so is there any reason I didn't see them in the ending? PSP version btw.
Do the snap dragon weapons work any differently in one vision? Any units in particular make a great weapon or any to stay away from?
Hi folks! I’m looking a cursed dagger for a caster Ninja because I read somewhere that they are great for casters but the more I read about them the more confused I get. Can someone give me a quick and dirty rundown? Is this even a good idea? I want to run Thunderfire katana and cursed dagger.
Hey people , so i'm curently in act 4 , with a rune fencer denam on chaos route , and he's.....fine. I feel like he does a bit of everything well enough to not be a burden , but it also feels like he's a bit underwhelming , considering he's the MC , and i've dropped every bit of str/vit charm/dragon steak/green card into it.
To put things in context , my denam started as a warrior , which took like 9-10 levels in that class , and he also has 1 level of bucaneer (which i found underwhelming and changed back to rune fencer). Rest of the levels (curently level 36 - before Heim asault) , are rune fencer levels.
That being said , with all that , my denam is still outstated by the 2 white knights characters i have (ill post some pictures down the thread for comparison), and it feels like they also perform better at times.
As i said , he's curently a rune fencer , using 1h swords (curently using a khora +1) , and a 1h crossbow - because i like the versatility , and pure melee always feels bad when he's just standing there waiting to get in range. Yes , i'm aware that as a rune fencer , he can use the direct hit spells , and i have tried running around with a 2h sword build with just spells as my range option , but with just meditate 2 , it always feel like i'm wasting mana on chip damage with the spells , rather then just conserving it for my ultimates. Hence the addition of the crossbow as an ranged option. But i'm at a level where the baldurs crosbow and the 1h sword is starting to feel a bit underwhelming as well.
i also have tried switching back into warrior with 2h , and while he does indeed have impressive damage when he has mana , the lack of meditate means that he does way less consistent (and probably total) damage then a rune fencer build , while also lacking the utility that a rune fencer can bring (heal , haste , etc)
I have tried going into the palace of the dead to farm relics and whatnot , but i started hitting a wall around level 18 or , when the enemies are all level 45 to my squad of level 36s.
Is it normal for him to lack that much behind in terms of stats to the white knights as well ? It feels like they outstat him even in stats where wknights shouldn't have a reason to outstat a rune fencer (like int). And yes , i haven't dropped int charms into him (gave them to the casters , trying to maximize their own damage) , but its still weird that the natural growth of the int stat of a rune fencer is smaller then a white knight , right ?
Here are some stats comparisons as well :
Anyway , here's denam : https://ibb.co/cbvRxZq
And this is mirdyn by comparison : https://postimg.cc/D86CVGqv
So , what can i do to make my denam feel a bit....better ? Because as it stands , it feels like he does everything decent enough , but he doesn't massively outperforms everyone else either.
It feels to me that i'm either not well equiped enough or using a bad combination of wepons .....or i'm expecting too much. I guess i want both versatility , and the very best in any area , which versatility usually trades off..... i....dunno honestly.
Anyway , any advice would be welcomed
Sorry but this is the most confusing topic on earth to me. I beat the game with catiua dead. She's dead in the warren report and got lord for denam. So now since I beat the game and she's dead there's no way for me to go back and reverse this and I can't progress into coda 3 and 4 without starting a brand new save? I have like 350 hrs in this file already lol?
This is kind of infuriating if true, because I just finished going back to chap 4 and doing a full 100fl run of POTD.
Hi everyone I have just gotten into this series after watching one of my favorite YouTubers play a bit of Knight of Lodis, and had wanted to ask what tips you all would give to a new player for both Tactics Ogre reborn and Tactics Ogre Knight of Lodis. I have played very little games like this so any advice is super appreciated!
Thank you for any and all advice!
Hey people , i have a question about raising chaos frame (obviously trying to recruit cressida on chaos route).
Do i have to do battles in which galgastani warriors get downed on the world map , or can i raise it by training battle them as well ?
I've tried training battle them , and i curently have like 20 fully leveled (well , up to my union level) galgastani generics , and the loyalty texts i get from newly recruited characters are still the same as before starting training. I think i've done well above 20-30 battles now , and i still get " Though not openly discontent, this unit will not speak against those who are. " - for neutral units , which should be between 40-61 chaos frame , if all the info i got is corect. Since this doesn't necesarily guarantees that i have enough to recruit cressida , i'd like to raise it to the next level , but as i said , training battles seem not to do anything.
Have i missunderstood the mechanics ? Do i really need to do world map battles for it to rise , or it's just a very slow process either way ?
PS: i have already started the balmamusa dead chain and did the first battle already , where i saved the cleric.
So I’m playing the One Vision mod if that matters. Ran into her in Phorampa Wildeood, The Frostfen.
Hi folks - for context, I've been playing Tactical RPGs since FFTactics came out, and was always comfortably playing through those, including Tactics Ogre for PS1 back then (whatever its name was, I'm terrible with names, sorry!).
I've played these extensively and would always close games out 100%, do alternate endings etc etc. All of this to say: I'm not a beginner at these.
With Reborn for Switch, however, I'm considerably struggling. I feel like I have to replay every battle at least 3-4 times to clear each stage without losing any characters in the process. I also feel that opponents are way overpowered - spells, skills seem to do much more damage on me than mine on them.
Now - that's not to say I'm not enjoying the challenge, but something tells me I might be missing something about this game, compared to other titles? I dunno, might be overthinking it but having tried different classes, always having all my characters leveled up to the Level Cap, etc. I feel it's a tad too much, and it might be, well, "me".
Anyone felt the same or has any tips/tricks to share? Tks!
Can someone explain to me how Off Hand Equipment works in Reborn?
What do I gain from an item in the off hand and what do I not?
Thanks!
Hello!
I am currently at lv 26 Potd and I couldn't remember if I played Cressida at Lv 5. However, I vividly remember killing Nybeth (he transformed into something), Leanar, and Xaebox. I just read from Neoseeker that I should've played Cressida at Lv 5. Based on this info, will Nybeth show up at Lv 100?
Thanks!
(Edit: Also, I recruited Cressida before entering my very first walkthrough of Potd)
Farming some Tier 2 spells from guardians and I had to do a double take when I picked up the loot bag. So far I've never gotten a Oracle Mark with the spell and I thought I read somewhere that these never drop together. If they do, I'm curious if this has happened to anyone else on here.
Hi /r/tactics_ogre
This is my first time playing a tactics ogre game (Reborn) and I'm at the start of chapter 4 for Law.
I really want the Lord class, but I want my Warren Reports to say that Catuia is alive.
From what I understand, I can finish Law/Lord, then world back and do Law/Princess to recruit Catuia and change the warren reports.
If I end up doing Chaos and Neutral after that, would I be able to world back again to make Law/Princess the "canon ending" by replaying it one more time?
On the psp vers and I've basically just used them as ranged tanks for most of the game. I'm in the endgame now and I've noticed their accuracy is extremely bad so they miss most shots. I assume bc enemies have evasion skills, but as beasts/dragons don't really seem to get ranged accuracy skills, are they just no longer as useful?
Hey guys think I reached Dorgalua way too early in the game ... Havent even stepped on potd yet is there a way to win against him without dragons or monsters? I only have a Valkyrie,a run fencer, a ninja, denam as a terror knight, white knights, a warlock, a swordmaster and a bunch of items ... I can finish phase 1, but in phase 2 I can barely lower him to 3000hp
I’m having trouble getting a clear answer from everything I’ve read. If I ogre blade a bunch of skills onto a new body and then Class Change the new body via class marks and not another swap do I keep the skills or do I need to keep swapping to classes that can wield the blade until my final swap?
Edit to clarify: class change via marks through the party screen.
If I Ogreblade Engulf onto a Ninja will they benefit from the extra range from Engulf?
Looking for rom hacks I stumbled across the Lanselot Somebody to Love mod and it looks very interesting. Is it the definitive experience for Knight of Lodis or should I play Vanilla first?
Hello, this is my first post here after getting back into the series and I’m in need of help because Reborn’s endgame is confusing tf out of me.
So I have just beaten the game. I went the chaos route and the princess path, I completed the shrines, only went up to 33 in potd, and then beat the game. I’m currently on the mission to recruit >!luria!< in Coda1.
Now I have been looking around for a good way to do this but I couldn’t find anything helpful so I’m gonna lay out my plan and if it’s trash let me know.
So I was gonna maybe recruit >!luria!< (don’t know if I should wait or not).
Then world anchor to chapter 1 and go neutral, collect all the characters, and get the lord class.
The moment I get lord, I’m going to world anchor back to chapter 1 and complete the law route recruiting all those characters, actually recruiting >!Azelstan!< (failed on chaos playthrough), choose the princess route again, and then that’s when I was going to beat potd before being the game.
Then I was going to go into coda chapters and do all the endgame stuff related to that.
Is this a good idea or is there something I should change about it, because as much as I enjoy this game, I would love to avoid any unnecessary playthroughs or time played repeating a bunch of the same stuff?
I've played LUCT, Reborn, and finally decided to play One Vision. Absolutely blown away by the amount of work gone into this, especially with the HD texture pack!
There's so much to try out and I want to experiment with every class but what's been your most fun build? Especially early game?
Are all weapon types now viable or do some stand out more than others?
I've gotten to chapter 4, with the game opening up quite a bit now, I feel a bit disenchanted with how high accuracy is in general and by extension how useless AVD stat seems to be. I've watched a couple videos and read a couple posts hoping that this doesn't hold true for the entirety of the game but I've yet to come across otherwise. I honestly feel like it's missed opportunity to make the AVD stat more useful. Personally I like to build evade tanks in most games that I can, so it's disappointing to see this game having the mechanics of evasion but severely underutilized.
Just to note, I love everything else about this game. I might like LUCT better, but this game is still great. I just feel like it could've been the pinnacle of grid-based s-rpg if only accuracy played a slightly bigger role.
I used a generic cleric for most of the game and recently switched to Donnalto. I also have Sara but never used her and instead use a generic archer.
So I decided to turn Sara into a rogue with steal and a crossbow. I'm not sure whether she'd be better suited as a fusiler (I know they're not good but I like the sprite and portrait lol). Aside from that I was planning to turn the cleric into a fusiler instead but her stats are abysmal. Wwyd?
I read the int/mind bonuses on two handed weapons are bugged and don't contribute to spell damage in Reborn, is that a Reborn-specific bug?
Also, does cudgel/book weapon rank have any effect on spell damage?
Thanks.
(Psp version). I heard good things about them but my lizardman juggernaut despite being able to run far seems to have sort of subpar damage (spear) and defense. Am I doing something wrong or is he barrer off as a Hoplite or something?
So I think I misunderstood the guide for using the Ogre Blade. I recruited a Lich just to find he couldn’t equip the blade.
On rereading it looks like I need to give it to a class that CAN wield the blade and then convert it to a lich via the ring of the dead so that THEN I can move it to a new body?
