OK, I hear you, I’ll do a build guide finally! Hopefully these will help some of the newer folks, and hopefully it’s a bit less complicated this time! Tactics Ogre Reborn can be complicated. Here’s hoping this one’s clear enough!
Early in the game i got stuck at the uphill battle at Brigantys. Went back to Phorampa Wildwoods and recruited a flying murder squad of griffons and hawk men. The hawkmen are sooo good!! The griffons all have the same RT so they move in a big swarm and swoop down on units and chain pincer them lolol
Oh man, I didn’t even know characters rolled with different affinities for stats. Does it lead to a pretty big difference by max level or is it fairly minor?
This is my first experience with any game in this series, and I am in chapter 2. Thought I would point out that I was stunned to find out the meaning of the status effect stunned: "SOMETIMES unable to take action"
I went out of my way to get a weapon that stunned, and the first couple times, I thought I must be confused. I would get the symbol on an enemy I attacked, and then they would quickly take their turn anyway. Now, I go to the enemy's "card" and mouseover the status effect and find out the unhappy truth. Since this has happened the first three times implies that "sometimes" is not a super high percentage.
I think that this is the sort of thing that all the online tip videos kind of slides over. Sometimes you talk about the odds that something like poison will fire, but how about the certainty and length of effect if it does fire? In my mind, at least, that is part of the valuation of a given strategy. Whether it is worth getting the weapon and the skill and the actions in battle to inflict a status effect depends a lot on what you actually accomplish when you succeed.
I know I already posted but I wanted to talk about using a double sword ninja build. Running in without preparation is a sure fire way to watch your buzzsaw break. However, if you instead use your classes that are waiting for their mana charge to item buff your paper blender he will become quite effective. I have forgotten what the items are called off hand but you will know them when you see them. Most can even be purchased in stores. It's still a pain as using them properly really requires extra steps.
Can someone help me on recruiting azelstan? I did the 1 fight. Then I saw the cut scene after. Went to benicia. Cachua died etx. Then I went to quadoriga but there was a fight against a gunner instead of a scene with azelstan. How do I trigger the 2 battle please??? Potato could u post a guide step by step????
I played the original on the PS1 as a kid but always overleveled 2-3 units with my unlimited free time and breezed through the game, did the same in FFT too. Got this game and I'm in love with how deceptively simple it is. Whole new experience.
Hey Coffee, two questions: You didn't mention where to find dragoon classmarks, I assume in the wildwood?
Also, do you happen to know of skill scavenging is still a thing? Obviously I can just switch a unit to a class and the bulk of skills are just unlocked, but could I still scavenge weapon skill levels or should I just sell all this silver obereth I've saved up?
You know what? It's super fast to reroll hires. I restarted the game due to a lot of financial mistakes. When I was hiring I made sure they had the right stat layout for each class I had in mind. I'm really dominating and the free units I got at the start were pretty adept, too.
This was great. I was actually wondering if CoffeePotato would make a follow up to his archer video detailing on how to not make early game archers suck. Because most people complaining about archers are about level 19 or so.
@coffeepotato thank you for putting this together, helps me grasp the game a bit bitter
Dumb q – I’m still trying to wrap my head around why you would choose one weapon over the other. For ex., w vartan/canopus why would you go for the dagger vs other one handed weapon? Is it due to speed? Finisher? Some other consideration?
Great video. Quick question do you want to level up units in a basic class before changing to another? For example in final fantasy tactics you would level one class to unlock those skills to use in another job. Or does it not matter if they have leveled in other classes?
Hey can anyone confirm if the Enchiridions in Phorampa are found in the same maps and in the same manner? Aka random loot drop by an enemy that is wielding a weapon of the associated type?
The more I hear about the possibilities of some of these classes, the more I feel like MND is maybe the most important stat for a lot of classes. And that motivates me to plot squeezing out a few extra points of it if possible. Which makes me wonder. Does leveling up a character in a particular class influence which stats are likely to upgrade the most? (Beyond the points that you gain or lose anyway when you change class.)
Where is the dark leech mage? a secret class? the most OP! in the game lol. Died 99 times to unlock, I forgot the rest of the requirement..maybe wrong🤔🤣
Man, this game is much more complicated than FFT IMO, but i really like it 👍, now i know why struggle so much on this games because i dont know anything about uniqueness of each class 🤣
Thanks, I'm a first time player and got stuck at the end of Chapter 2. I basically made it to this point with no upgrades, no monster recruits, stock characters by just making a bee line for the leader. Now I'm farming for all +1 crafted items in phorompa wildwood before I start any of chapter 3. I've felt like I'm playing hollow knight all over again :-). Triangle strategy was just ok, this is possibly the best game I've ever played in my life, my attention is fully captured 30+ hours which never happens for me. This video totally saved me or I couldn't have made it any further in the game.

Commenting for the algorithm.

Umm. I feel cheated now. I killed the witch and warlock in ch 2 and didn't get 3 class marks.
Oh man, I didn’t even know characters rolled with different affinities for stats. Does it lead to a pretty big difference by max level or is it fairly minor?
Loved this!
Hope to see the next iteration of this for mid/late game
I found your channel a month or two before reborn release. I have watched your videos a multitude of times pre release.
The thing I appreciate about your videos is the length, they are more like mini lectures.
Now please do one for each class. 😅
Why don't you make a walkthrough for this one?
Whats the best way to get the rogue’s mark?

How do u increase the level of the hired troops in the shop?
Congratulations on the 6K subs!
I'm legit happy this version of the game came out so the new players can experience your content. The passion you have for this game is infectious.

so give everyone a ranged weapon cool cool

Bruh trying to persuade is so hard!! . Also I did not know the stats are rng!!
So that's what concentration do.
Do you find agility and avoid to be dead stats like I do ?
When can I start farming for Warlock classmarks?
I wish you would do Warlock/Witch (Siren) and Familiar class builld, those 2 are my fave
This was super useful. Thanks!
Do you like this or Fell Seal more?

Hi , is the scavenge system still available in reborn ?
The more I hear about the possibilities of some of these classes, the more I feel like MND is maybe the most important stat for a lot of classes.

Does leveling up a character in a particular class influence which stats are likely to upgrade the most? (Beyond the points that you gain or lose anyway when you change class.)
Looking forward to a familiars/hoplites/juggernauts/matriarchs guide for demihumans =] And the beasts video and the dragons video.
I have a question about guests. Do they give back the stuff you put on them whenever they leave your party ?
Where is the dark leech mage? a secret class? the most OP! in the game lol. Died 99 times to unlock, I forgot the rest of the requirement..maybe wrong🤔🤣
For instills, should the Rune Fencer/Valkyrie take their element or a different one?
Also, thank you! The first like ten minutes in particular REALLY helped and everything is useful
It is pronounced “zw-EYE”hander. Native German speaker here. Zwei means two in German. You are saying zw-way which is incorrect.
isn't ninja skill limit only to melee weapon, it state in help tip that it affect melee only?
Man, this game is much more complicated than FFT IMO, but i really like it 👍, now i know why struggle so much on this games because i dont know anything about uniqueness of each class 🤣

I rock 2 Ninjas, one with a Katana & Bow and the other with the dual swords, I really like their move range.
