    Edgar is overpowered as hell in the beginning of the game; AutoCrossbow deals way more damage to each individual enemy than anything that Locke or Terra can dish out most of the time (I personally don't even have Locke attack anything - I just have him steal things as much as possible instead, or stand ready to throw potions, at least until he can dual-wield Hawk Eyes), and his Bio Blaster and NoiseBlaster tools are basically free multi-target versions of Bio and Muddle. You can even boost Edgar's damage quite dramatically by giving him Hyper Wrist and Atlas Armlet, which you can get in the South Figaro basement and on Mt. Kolts before you even fight Vargas.

    He kind of has to be. Until you unlock Espers like 3-4 hours into the game you're essentially stuck using the attack command 90% of the time. Apart from casting a few dinky spells and the occasional sweet Blitz from Sabin. Honestly Edgar and Sabin are the only things making the first few hours tolerable, and I still think they're pretty awful personally.

    I'm not familiar with the pixel remaster version, but I've always preferred Flash and Drill over the Bio Blaster simply because the animation for the Bio Blaster is just too long. One fun thing you can do with it is late game when you have Gogo, you can use Debilitator twice in a round on a boss until it becomes weak to poison. Then just blast them with it for an easy fight!

    In every version other than PR damage ticks only happened during a "turn" or every so often between attacks based on a timer, in the pixel remaster nothing stops or interupts DoT's or HoT's, so during a single attack animation a DoT can trigger 2-3 times, and during longer animations even more than that, and since they usually are max % HP based(aside from a few enemy one), that means during a single attack like Flurry following up a Bio Blaster anywhere between 40-60% of every enemies HP ticked down during the flurry animation in just DoT damage.

    As a person who only played the SNES version, the Bio Blaster beating out Flash is what surprised me. With how it works in the Pixel Remaster though, I am not surprised the bio Blaster slaps. Makes me want to pick it up and give it a run through. I more or less agreed with the list. I used to love arguing with friends when I was a child about how the Drill is better because of the potential wasted turn of the Chainsaw on Bosses.

    This was fixed in the pixel remaster to not miss (maybe console improved or patch as abysmal mobile was buggy and lacked original music), and buffed to kill undead without regenerating them. It does get power crept in world of ruin, but Edgar is the best world of balance character next to Gau’s crazy Templar lol stray cat is nice too. 8:10 flash with esper magic stat boosts yay. Glad console boost lets you toggle off random encounters and half or zero exp until getting espers to quadruple everything, and gold for auctions and that guy you overpay for early access to an esper. Wish I could see damage in vid for bio blaster though, but yeah regen is better in pixel remaster too.

    I think you're sleeping on the Noiseblaster dude. Against Hoover for example (who can be grinded for solid EXP at that point, and a ton of Gil). Early on, your choice is either: -Suffer a potential Game Over due to a double Sandstorm Counter. -Watch Hoover wallop itself with it's Crush Special, or Sandstorm itself for zero damage (you can safely chip in with Ice spells then).

    Flash #1 for me. Edgar really shines in world of balance and it's far and away his best weapon there, since it gets a 50% boost from the earringx2 (Hero rings work too) relics. No other tool gets as much of a boost (Atlas Armlet doesn't stack, and Hyper Wrist has a relatively small effect). With this boost, Flash will one shot entire packs, and will even one shot your party if you get a bad confuse lol. Flash falls off in world of ruin but so does Edgar in general. World 1 is where he rocks the hardest and Flash is his best tool there.

    NoiseBlaster I could see being more useful if there are sections early game, if there are any parts where encounters with enemies have large groups instead of just 1-4 monsters. Since confusing everyone in a large group of enemies could mean negating a lot of damage that you would have taken before you were able to clear out a few of them and making them far more managable. Regardless, I still use it occasionally just for fun. It's nice to mix things up when you know the situation isn't a problem in the slightest.

    Fun video and I liked your reasoning on the efficacy of the tools. HOWEVER, considering how early you get something doesn't really paint a clear picture of which item is "best". I don't think that should be factored in because it can cause a tool to win by a technicality over a more effective tool, which only really serves to muddy the waters. I guess I might only consider that factor when comparing two tools that are nigh-on identical in terms of efficacy. Still nice vid man! I learned some interesting details about some of the tools!

    I have always thought that the Drill is Edgar's best tool in the game. It does nearly as much damage as the Chainsaw without going for the instant kill attacks all the time. Early game the Auto Crossbow is a really useful tool for doing a decent amount of damage to all the enemies on screen at one time. The Auto Crossbow does lose some usefulness later on in the game, though, as you can just use magic attacks to damage all the enemies on screen at one time.

    Edgar is challenging to use, man. Like everyone says, his tools are outclassed by Magic later in the game. I wish there was a key item to buff his tools...like the technical manual you find in Cyan's cave. Edgar can also use Dragoon Boots and the Dragon Horn and get crazy repeating jump damage at the cost of speed, but if he's hitting multiple times on the jump, does it matter? He's crazy versatile but in the end, like everything else, he doesn't stand up to X-Magic Ultima. I'm currently playing T-Edition and the Bio Blaster is just crazy useful in that mod.

    here's the secret about Final Fantasy 3/6 cast invisibility on your enemy then Doom guaranteed 100% death chance regardless if they're immune or not on the Super Nintendo version that works with all weapons or skills that cause death

    As someone who likes to gamble I really enjoyed the chainsaw. Like I'm not gonna say it's the best weapon in the game or anything. But I was doing a low level run when I played 6 for the first time and it took out like 5 bosses for me. I do know that is a totally rng thing and I probably got more lucky with it than anything and if that's all I was using then of course I'm bound to get a few insta kills on bosses

  • @Theredbaron8497
    @Theredbaron84977 ай бұрын

    So for a casual run i would mostly agree with this list especially for the the PR version. As I'm a randomizer player my list would be slightly different putting the FLASH at number 1 since it is magic aoe non elemental and this is the big part, defense ignoring. the FLASH will break through magimaster defense AND magic defense. The DRILL being number 2 as it only lacks being magic damage and aoe damage. It is also defense ignoring. BIOBLASTER in the randomizer has its uses, and thus is always an instant buy and lands instelf firmly in 3rd place. Katana Soul (snes) Samurai Soul (PR) is wildly weak to poison and muddle/confuse ailments making this boss a pushover with BIOBLASTER and any confuse causing spell/attack. Making this tough boss fight a walk in the park.

    You can't USE anything but Esper spells/Items on the Magicmaster itself besides even with 100 Magic Flash still SUCKS since it still won't hit for 9999 damage by Str 70+ Auto Crossbow still may for the Kefka's tower bosses.

    Oh boy, I gotta see if I can rank these before watching. 1. Auto Crossbow: Falls off quickly. But before it falls off, whoo is it great. Cleans up the early game and is still useful until Magitek Facility. 2. Drill: Good old reliable single target defense ignoring damage. Falls off at end game, but everything falls off at endgame to 8 Atma Weapons or Ultima spam. 3. Air Anchor: If you know the enemy is vulnerable to Instant Death, Air Anchor is 100% going to work. If the enemy likes to counter, you can force a counter and the enemy will die after the counter. 4. Flash: Edgar's magic sucks. A shame, too, this is a nice AoE non elemental magic ability that works immediately. 5. Chain Saw: 25% chance of Instant Death is unreliable. 75% chance of being Drill means I should just use Drill. 6. Noiseblaster: Confusing all enemies is okay... ish? Nice to trick Katanasoul into killing himself. Useful if you suddenly need to stall for time and recover. 7. Bio Blaster: Just use Auto Crossbow, it's faster and you won't trip into Poison immune enemies. That being said, this will wreck humanoid enemies and bosses like Phunbaba. The damage ticks do add up. 8. Debilitator: Randomly selected weakness means this takes too long to be useful. Good for natural skill runs where you don't have easy access to fire/ice/lightning. Can't even use it against Magimaster in vanilla playthroughs.

    *Shrieks like a banshee when you said, "Pixel Remaster is the Definitive edition"* BLASPHEMY! (Don't worry, I won't garrote you.) Also I'd argue that even in a casual playthrough unless you're the grindy type, that the Tools and character abilities are actually better than magic once you factor in the time it takes to learn magic. Cause if you don't stop to stew around and learn magic, then you don't have it, so it's not all that great. Like in all these fun lists you've made, the logic is always sound with the accessibility ranking, and you should basically be ranking almost all magic accessibility as 1/10. Cause a lot of the magic takes ages to learn. On top of that, magic costs MP. As demonstrative type dealio, if you try to learn most of Gau's Rages, you can get pretty much most of his rages by the time one party of characters will learn all of the standard magic in the game. Luck depending, of course.

  • @metroidmaster88

    Autocross bow is very useful before you got espers. I also liked Chain Saw as long as i figured out its caused miss hits 33-50% of the time and drill caused nearly same amount damage with 100% hit rate. So i´ll prefer drill myself, because 100% hitrate. In magicite factory flash & bioblaster work much better than autocrossbow. So there is few expect where autocross bow is less good. Air Anchor suck. Is this tool missrate 90% or more? I never are caused any hit about it. Just always goes miss. Yeah later game Edgar tools come somewhat pointless, when you learn powerfull magics (like ultima/flare) or when you pick up Sabin Boom Rush and especially when you use quick spell with this so double boom rushses in one go, its nearly make Edgar tools very weak a late game.
