Ooh, Lancer might make for an interesting run. And Chemist must have been a little rough (if you could keep your distance and snipe him, might not be so bad). The first part (one-on-one) is the tough one for me. The first attempt, I needed to hit with every attack (at 77% chance) and he had to miss with at least one counter.Kong Wen wrote:Good man! It's funny, I've played through that game an uncountable number of times, and I've approached that fight in a different way almost every time. I can distinctly remember my Lancer, Monk, Squire, and Chemist runs. I also remember my brother getting to that fight—he had a bad habit of only using a single save file—and he kind of screwed himself into a corner. He worked it out, and he needed a miracle scenario where he had to get a critical hit and Velius had to miss at least once (maybe twice!) in order to get through. He stuck it out rather than start over... but then he was out of the frying pan and into the fire with the fight on the rooftop!
I think the biggest issue for me was I hadn't quite maxed out Ramza's Brave, but I should probably level to 40 or so just to be safe.
One thing I had heard about but never actually done anything with is that your stats increase differently if you level different classes. I looked into it a bit and have been leveling Agrias up as a NInja... it makes her quite a bit more useful when she doesn't go last in every fight.
