Will test in ~30 minutes.

there's an HP cap on those debuffs? if so, just getting +20% HP from a friend eidolon would send some of my wind team to the cap then since they'll be at 11k-12k normally

13,579 HP still takes 407 (3%) from (Expert) Sloth's DoTs.

My 17k Dartagnan is taking over 500, so yeah. That was bogus information, sadly.

I'm sorry for saying something without confirming it 100%, my max HP doesn't reach that high so I never guessed it would increase lol.

So is it still worth putting grails on HP buff?

Data inconclusive.

Does your Union reach high Ultimate levels? Then maybe. If not? Not really.
I'd say go with what Sanathlig recommended.

Hmm, I see. I'll keep that in mind.
Thanks again for the useful tips

considering the damage increased with hp , it seems useless IMO. It;s pointless to have 20k hp (i'm using round numbers to be more clear) if you take 600 damage per turn , instead of taking 300 for 10k hp. From that point of view , it's an equal trade. I'd rather buff resistance if since it makes it's damage miss entirely.


Ofc , it's entirely possible that i'm wrong as well....so feel free to corect me people if i'm missundertstanding the mechanics here

You're basically right.
As far as just getting all the prizes here, you probably don't need to fight demons whose levels are so high that you need +HP to avoid dying instantly to an overdrive. So in that context, you probably want to go with something like what sanahtlig suggested.

But, be prepared to adapt accordingly if your union is at a point where the bulk of your members need the turns but are struggling to survive past 2-3 overdrives, and that you're not on pace to get all the rewards.

Mind you, in case your union already put grails into +HP and +Healing (like mine! :P), it's not useless, just suboptimal. Fights will take longer, and that's not the funnest with the lag right now. But you can still work with it. It's relatively inferior, but you're still making absolute gains over zero buffs. Oh, and auto battling is insanely risky since you can kill yourself through your own heals, but I also play manually, so... <.<

I make that distinction, because +burst sticks out as being not all that productive even in an absolute sense. Outside of burst hour strategies, +burst doesn't differ a lot from zero buffs.
