I wouldn't forge Ries's either if I were you. Ries is much better used as a caster since her Phantasmagoria weapon gives her a lovely 250 ATS bonus (much higher than anyone else can hope to attain), plus more bonus from the Phantasmagoria armor (or if you have enough time to waste, Schwarz Silk+Spiritual Shoes), and she has a good orbment and okay base ATS. Of course her Zemurian Weapon then doesn't give anywhere near as much ATS, and she has no real trick for physical attacks beyond whacking things with it anyways. Well my final lineup was Kevin, Reis, Richard and Renne. Renne's speed boost of +10 isn't much, but with it she and Kevin kept perpetual Earth Wall on the team, took 0 damage during that fight (literally zero, always roll with a 200 CP Grail Barrier till you get your Clock Up EXs rolling). Renne was punching 2150 ATS with a Crimson Eye and Kitty Band+, and 1 Support Mage, 2 Physical Attackers, and 1 Devastation mage runs well with me. If you were to hand it out to only melee, I'd put Tita as the next choice (didn't know about the extra buffs), followed by Agate. Orbal Gear Solid : The Phantasmal Pain gets even more powerful with the extra +300, and Dragon Dive, well why not buff that, right? |
