Each time that you enter into a combat, and back out, the bond rings are rolled forward by 31 rings. I saved up 10K bond points until I got Leif to roll for the thunder bond ring, and I noticed that I was seeing repeats after entering combat just once between spending all of my points. After some testing, I found that it was exactly 31 rings that you shift forward every combat. So for me, it was best to spend all of my points, and then to enter combat and back out three times before I started pulling again, to ensure I was getting all new rings.

If you are willing to do some early game grind, you can get the magical Levin Sword by refining a Steel Sword from the Blacksmith. It's a pretty good sword for Celine given how her magic stat is pretty sizeable for a sword user. This way, you can use the S-rank Alm bond ring from Celica which gives you Windsweep. Windsweep prevents counterattacks based on the luck stat, and Celine has the largest luck stat in the game. Celine has 50 luck growth and 15 from noble, which grows even more to 20 when she becomes a Vidame putting her at 70 luck growth, which is 5 more than the 2nd highest luck growth of 65 from Hortensia much later on. This is pretty much the only good early game bond ring option for swords until you reach Brodia for the next sword user, in which case the S-rank Navarre bond ring mentioned becomes useful.

Unfortunately, Anna can't use swords like that so Windsweep doesn't mean anything to Anna. Switching to a class that could use swords will give Anna less luck than Celine as a Vidame. Though if your point was just that you can reach higher luck, yes it is possible to reach higher luck growth than Celine. Just keep in mind that Vidame still has a higher luck cap at 50 as opposed to the High Priest luck cap of 38, so Celine is still reaching higher luck in the long run.

Ahh, classic RNG abuse. Brings me back to the good o'l Blazing Blade days in middle school, faffing around with the cursor for hours til I got full stat bumps every time.

The same principle can also be used in the LVL up of the character. Select a character in the arena that is before an LVL-up, increase a few attributes = reset -> Take this hero with you in the next battle for the LVL-up (small increase = reset), after a battle try it again in the arena and this one Repeating the process isn't really effective before the characters stagnate in the LVL

Dire Thunder is what’s giving Citrinne a chance to kill things and hopefully gain enough levels to be on my A team. Otherwise she dies instantly to any enemy that can range her…

It's a cool skill, it's not very handy. While it is really fun to see, you never know when it's going to be there. It has 35% activation. You just... Will get 3 chains instead of 2 sometimes. The point is you can never plan for it. You can never rely on it. It's only uses are... If one of your chains misses, and you needed that damage, the chance hit will clutch that victory. Also, the random extra chain might allow you to use a weaker unit to finish off an enemy. Which is handy, and super situational, you just can't plan for it. It would be fun to have it on your whole team though.

Ah noo this video has just popped up for me after I've completed chapter 11 (if you know you know) 😂 will definitely give this a try though later

One, this is an amazing video. I did not know any of this and honestly overlooked that the S Bond rings had skills..... Two, Olwen's Dire Thunder is amazing, but I'm not sure how much it will be used once you have maxed out weapons. It can only be used on Thunder, of which a +5 Thunder has Mt: 10, Hit 90, Wt:10, Rng: 1-3 Doubling that is essentially a Might of 20, and each hit I believe crits individually, if they do at all. Thoron on the other hand gives you, at +5 Mt: 23, Hit 80, Wt:16, Rng: 1-3 So, by using Thoron, you have 3 more might with 10 less Hit, if the Thunder user is using Olwen's S Bond ring. HOWEVER, the Thoron user is able to use an Emblem Ring on top of having the high might. So despite having 10 less hit, you're going to get SO many more benefits. It is of course incredibly good despite that. Especially since you can get it so early and thus won't have Emblem Rings to put on your whole party. But once you have enough Emblem Rings that everyone can use one, as well as Thoron+5, going the normal way with that is better.

@Shalakor

Жыл бұрын

You do know you add a character's Mag stat to each hit, so, as long as the target doesn't have super high Res, you can't just count it as double Mt and call it a day. (I mean, Celica's Echo attack used even without any Backup units and such around should be a good indication where halved Mt with double attacks can still be stronger.) Plus, of course, Thunder weighs less. 4 moderately damaging attacks can very easily beat one high damage attack. Brave weapons are stronger the stronger the unit that wields them. Though, it does mostly come down to a question of if you're going to be fielding a magic focused unit without an Emblem because they're all on other units. And Thoron with the 20% boost skill probably is also at least competitive with Dire Thunder. If you can only choose one to focus on, lower Wt will always be the more reliable way to lean if you don't know how much enemy Spd you're going up against, but at least the 20% to both Thunder and Thoron gives you a bit of flexibility.
