Thread: My Mage Dilemma

Yeah, it's kinda startling how good Splash II & III can be. Garania's my best mage and while her damage is the lowest at her tier I was pleasantly surprised to see how much of the map she can nuke at once.

When it comes to mages what you want to look for is attack.

So Atk Increase Skill > Splash Increase Skill > Other Skills

Of your choices without being gender bias. I'd just Mehlis, Pallis, and Barbie.... or... Mehlis, Cyrus, and Barbie after awakening.

Though as mentioned before you would hardly need three mages late alone mages at all later one. Bishops seems to out perform them for the most part, and if you have Solano... well ya. Garania is probably the only mage we have that can out perform Bishops. Odette is simply for Magic Reduction. Sasha is simply for physical reduction (by allowing dodge). Really wish we could get Moldevort with her Atk increase skill.

Though this statement is likely to change once mages finally get their AW skills.

I really wish we had Mole so that I could have a high level version of both in my tool box. Mages are all about hitting the right damage threshold for the map you're dealing with--Garania's skill is amazing when her base attack is enough to clear out entire waves in a shot or two but obviously inferior for clearing out a small pocket of heavy armors.

Depends. To a degree you can say the Splash Attack skill can be a damage increase since mage attacks do less damage the farther away other enemies are from the main target, and Splash Attack skill makes the fireball bigger which means there is less distance between enemy targets and will therefore take more damage.

Speaking of Garania.

->Open Spoiler<-

Burned 10 SCs, and this is my belated New Years gift.

I'm gonna enjoy this.

at least you don't get to raise another crap mage. Garania is quite decent
