Even better, he can get the Emergency Repairs skill which will allow him to instantly recover his own HP with no down time at a very low MP cost.
He's got massive native defensive ability even without armor upgrades, and a huge life bar to boot. Lym still has her place when you need a well-rounded mage to support a melee-based crew, as well as a second string for when one of your other mages is incapacitated, but she probably won't be in your starting lineup.Īs appearances suggest, Bacchus is a tank. Myuria is a stronger offensive symbologist with a wider variety of elemental attacks, and Sarah is a better healer. Later on, Lymle outgrows some of her usefulness. She primarily skews toward fire-based attacks, perhaps too heavily, but also packs some solid healing skills, which will mean she's going to be a primary fixture of your party for much of the game.
Her basic attacks are virtually useless and her defenses are weak enough that they may demand enhancement, but her spell-casting is very useful. Little Lym is a powerful symbologist for her small size, and she's the first heavy-duty magic caster to join your party. Faize can fit into just about any lineup and hold his own, but by that same token, he can be replaced by a well-rounded lineup. Because of this, you should focus on boosting mind-related stats more than ATK-related skills. Compared to the combo-savvy Edge and Meracle, Faize will land fewer hits, but his symbology can be very powerful, and eventually this will eclipse his sword fighting abilities. Reimi's main advantages over these characters are her powerful chain combos (which you should set up and level up in the skill menu as they become available) and her ability to attack while jumping, which can prove very useful.įaize may be slight of frame, but he's a well rounded character with a mix of melee and offensive magic that make him very versatile. In balancing your crew, you don't want to be too heavy on one kind of attacker or another, so Reimi is probably best considered as an alternative to Myuria or Bacchus. Her basic attacks seem pretty feeble, but once she gets her more powerful skills, she's a force to be reckoned with. Reimi exists predominantly as a support character, so in most fights, you'll want to leave her duties to the AI, but having her leveled up can help. She's not really that durable, but she doesn't have to be since she can keep her distance. The No Guard skill helps tremendously in allowing edge to break in, but it does nothing to nullify damage, so it's still important to make sure you have good defensive equipment, and you may want to consider teaching him HP Boost.Ī skilled archer, Reimi is one of the best ranged fighters in the game. Getting close to some enemies can be difficult. Edge's HP bar and defense isn't meager, but he's still going to be one of the most fragile characters in practice because of the dangers of being on the front lines. Unfortunately, melee fighting is a dangerous endeavor. With the ATK Boost skill, Edge's attack power can be completely devastating. Unfortunately, Edge's blindside method is slower and requires a wide arc of movement. Edge is at his best when he's blindsiding an enemy from behind, and these situations provide great opportunities for extended combos. Tactics for melee fighters vary greatly from battle to battle, more than for other classes. By knocking enemies into the air, Edge can maintain very long juggle combos, allowing him to neutralize enemies until their Rush Mode builds up. His special attacks are primarily chain combo hits which has some defensive implications, as it makes Edge perfect for tying up enemies in long combos. For most players, he's going to remain the primary attacker. Your basic melee swordsman, Edge is a heavily offensive character with a handful of support skills. Star Ocean has the unique feature of allowing you to swap characters in and out in mid-battle, so being able to balance your crew and work with everyone will benefit you. The cast of Star Ocean: The Last Hope is a motley bunch, and learning the subtleties of each character will be a real advantage in the long run.
