>I do wonder why Misty is a Rogue/Ninja instead of a Rogue/Assassin.
I think it's a casualty of the planned third tier classes. Heixing and Giselle would have had access to Assassin masteries via Dark Sniper and Dark Ranger, and by making Misty a new class it means they wouldn't have been bloated with tons of ESP-related masteries they can't make use of. I bet the knife throwing and Hide-related Ninja masteries were originally Assassin masteries. I would have liked to have Misty using Fire Support/Overwatch with her knife throws though.
>I guess they wanted to introduce at least one entirely new class in the dlc, which is understandable, but from a lore perspective, someone needed to have taught her those ninjutsu, and that certainly wasn't the Assassin Child training facility.
I'm not sure why you say that. Mash was trained as a White Mage and Ninja is just a stealthy WM.

The biggest sin of Misty's ninja class is that its so shit unless you go all in on knife throw perma invis shenanigans. All of the ESP stuff is cool as shit and you can make some proper fun builds but it will still get outshined by other builds.

Something I realised during my latest playthrough even after so many hours: Your units' attack range is capped to their sight. This is especially relevant to Giselle because her basic everyday snipe attack has more range than she has sight. Her personal mastery that provides +2 sight +1 night sight is calculated exactly to make up the difference and is effectively +2 range.
Here's Giselle with Gunbarrel Reinforcement + Eyes of Cruel Sky, giving her 17 listed range on her Snipe. But because she only has 14 Night Sight and Blind reducing her vision by 5 (to 9 total) she can only fire at targets within 9 tiles, including through masteries like Fire Support.
That's why almost every enemy sniper in the game uses night vision goggles - so they can benefit from their full range without getting hard capped by vision.

A long time ago I remember an anon was experimenting with the Earnest Researcher mastery set that doubles the effective TP of the category with the highest points, and he discovered that if multiple categories are all tied for the highest TP it doubles all of them. At the time it was determined an absolute meme and not worth doing.
However
Today it clicked to me that the same principle also applies to the machine version, which is a much more powerful mastery. You can make some numerically hilariouos drones by paying attention to it.

Anon10/17/25, 10:32No.2174656
I have a few questions about masteries, wonder if anyone here can clarify. Some of these I'm just too lazy to test myself, others I have no idea how to reliably test for myself.>Lunatic Beast
The description of the mastery set says it reinforces Indomitable Will by reducing damage by 20% if under rage state. So does this mean the 20% reduction when enraged is only applied when Indomitable Will is active, i.e. below 1/3 HP, or does it just give the damage reduction when you are enraged regardless of health?>any mastery that gives bonuses for equipped class masteries without specifying which class
Does it mean *any* class mastery, or only masteries that are belonging to the same class as that?
So in the case of Trained Attack, would this mean I get the damage and AT reduction only for other Fighter masteries, or for any other class masteries as well, like Martial Artist and Battlemage?>Traces of Blood
If the first attack applies bleeding, does that bleeding increases the chance of Bladestorm happening?>Retaliation and Combo Attack
Does the "always hit" bypass responsive attack dodging effects like Lightning Reflexes and Perfect Draki's Scale?>any multi-hit that applies Armor Break / Bruise or other damage increase debuff
If the first hit(s) apply the debuff, do the additional hits benefit from the debuff?
Say, Sweeper Heixing uses Annihilation Shot on a destructron and the first four hits stack Armor Break, do the remaining seven hits deal full damage?>any mastery that benefits from applied debuff when that debuff is applied on a single-hit
For example, Flames of Regeneration. If a single-hit attack applies burning, does the applier still get the healing bonus? Or does it have to be applied before using the attack?>Upgrade Grenade
Since Ray's basic attack technically comes from her equipped item, does the base damage increase also apply to that?>Inspire
Does the damage buff apply for each stack in the case of stackable buffs like Chance to Win?
A
Anon10/17/25, 11:35No.2174701
Alright, I've got Inspire and a few stacked up mental buffs.
>Rage
>Faith
>Peace of Mind
>Excitement
>Bravery
>two stacks of Release Magic
>two stacks of Chance to Win
7 separate buffs. I'm getting ~14% from Inspire, so that means it's only counting the different buffs rather than including the stacks in its count.

I don't recall there being a single actual priest enemy in the game, only white mages with priest masteries. I wonder what the inherent mastery for priest does, assuming Dandy even made one for it.

white magic circuit doesn't even seem to do much to alleviate anne's speed issues which is disappointing
neither does prosperity.
and it's hard to fit speed items in her item build, especially if she's a witch because then you need hit chance and/or low vigor + vigor regen to make up for it.
her short little legs just can't keep up.

Is this one of those games you`re supposed to keep losing in order to get items/XP and become stronger until you finally beat the stages?
I'm at the 3rd mission and always get my ass whooped.
A
Anon10/19/25, 15:39No.2177575
the 3rd mission is the plaza terror attack, right?
there are other characters in that mission you can get to temporarily join your party, you should try to get albus to make contact with them first. at this point in the game they are much stronger than albus.
don't prioritize rescuing civilians if it would jeopardize your units, even though that's not heroic.
and don't melee enemies with fire veil.

And with regards to Heixing, an anon posted about Sight affecting max range recently and that had me check out his range. Three of his skills have a range of 13 compared to the base 12 vision, base 10 at night. It's easier to fix at day since you could find +1 Sight from gear somewhere (can sacrifice some stats with an Abyss Coat), but getting the other 2 for max range at night is a lot harder without Owl Eye, a Basic Mastery that gives +3 Night Sight. Truly this game has no bounds to its min-maxing.

Sweeper is really fun when it works and it's better against bicrons/destructons than ranger since it has access to armor/weapon break, which really fucks over machines that are immune to all the debuffs ranger can apply.

If a character needs to cover a lot of ground quickly (like 3+ action points worth of movement), is it better to use dashing on every turn or move with one AP then use standby? Assuming they don't have Run, of course.
