  1. Road to 2.0

    My bad, in that case yeah it could work for Kevin.
  2. Road to 2.0

    I don't think shields would really fit someone that knows martial arts, monks and such
  3. Road to 2.0

    Don't think any other character needs shields, Duran and Lise are more than enough, imo.
  4. Road to 2.0

    I wouldn't Cold Blaze inlict sleep instead. Still think Rune Master will be pretty strong even without the snowman status, you still have stone cloud for petrify, single target but you can use it on the most troublesome mob you find to deal with (as long as it wont resist petrifs that is). But yeah I think more opinions are needed for this, for me it's fine tho as long as sleep wont crash the game same way as snowman tends to do.
  5. Road to 2.0

    Maybe have Vanadise final weapon remove the chibiko status inflicted from Freya? Snowman makes a lot of sense for her but due to the game going apeshit with the snowman status I think it might be better to avoid it.

    Counters are performed when you use level 1 techs shortly after an enemy performs an attack be it physical or magical.
  7. Road to 2.0

    "inbattle item usage requires 4 TP" Hm I think with that feature it would be nice to remove the restriction to switch ring menu to other characters if they are in the middle of attack.

    Yeah I wouldn't risk replacing Starlancer with Fenrir Knight there, but your other two options with Fenrir Knight looks good tho, in this one Starlancer simply works a lot better.

    Yeah saw it. Both this and the Wanderer/Warrior Monk/Necromancer sound pretty damn good, I might try either of the two on my next run now that I finished my current run earlier. Yeah I don't think I wiuld sacrifice all these slots, at very least I would choose Starlancer here instead of Necromancer so you free Dark Carlie from the role as a buffer and have a different armor for her while you have multi target def up as option for mob fights. Carlie should debuff the heaviest hitter among the mobs, and Angela spams her spells. Haven't checked what shared resistance could be taken to advantage here tho. Even without protect up it's still doable I say, use Magic Shield on Lise she is the one that the enemied will attack, power down, flame saber on mobs, Magus spams spells. Wanderer also has Anti-Magic, you have the Curse Upgrade as option to take advantage of here.

    Agreed, the moment you use melee/tech damage in endgame you get just too much damage to tank mormally by just buffs and debuffs even on Normal, this strat worked like a charm to me. At least melee heavy teams should have this strat open, if you have a caster or two you can get around mobs fine enough, stall them or just nuke them. Never played Dervish, but this sounds like a pretty damn powerful team for him. I wonder if by having a stronger wolf form also imcreases his lv3 tech. While his final weapon I assume only effects normal hits and level 1 tech I suppose? Sounds nice, but you should be willing to cast Magic Shield on all 3 chars but on the upside it boosts magic and physical defense along with healing power for Grand Divina. It has also Speed up which all benefit ftom these two spells. There is no mind up for this team keep in mind but once Grand Divina gets her final weapon she could boost spell damage using her spells as sabers, so I would aim to get her final weapon as soon as W/A seeds become available to get.

    The original game crashed to me before too at thr corridor of wind when going back and forth to that area, was using zsnes back then, but that was a long time ago. You are right tho, I should find a different ROM and see if it happens again, I have always used Snes9x, not sure which one is at fault but it's worth testing.
  12. Seiken Densetsu 3 Sin of Mana - Discussion

    Not sure why it happens more frequent now. I am in dark castle currently the part where tou fight the full metal hugger and I can't seem to manage to get past Genova and to the next statue without the game just freezing or glitching, this is like the third time trying. The screen glitched completely when I fought Jagan but at least the save was near, but that portion of Dark Castle seems impossible due to the game. No wonder the original game never came outside Japan. Such a bug-fest.
  13. Character/Job Party Recommendations

    @rpschamp I have been using your idea by casting saber on enemies for my Ninjamaster/Vanadise/Duelist run. Very helpful for the final arena so far, bought the whiteline ring for Duran, and the armor for Duran and Lise that resist earth, while NM naturally resists earth. Basically Diamond Saber on mobs + Protect Up + Water Jutsu Should have done that with Jagan fight for that annoying Bloody Wolf and Camilla. Oh well, you learn the hard way.
  14. Seiken Densetsu 3 Sin of Mana - Discussion

    I missed it like one or two casts, and missed 2 level 1 tech attacks, but it felt less annoying than before for sure to me
  15. Character/Job Party Recommendations

    Well you can start getting the weapon/armor seeds after you beat three god beasts. How I did it in my current play: Beat third god beast - get a weapon/armor seed Beat another one - get another W/A seed Beat another one for one more W/A seed, getting the 3 final weapons that way. Before that fot Carlie you could use the weapon that boosts heal light+items, Lord running on the PIE weapon, Lise maybe use one of those weapons from the dwarf village seems pretty nice to restore hp when yellow damage occurs.
  16. Seiken Densetsu 3 Sin of Mana - Discussion

    Another weird glitch happened whete the screen "froze" in the lightgazer fight, the boss is moving his eye and two characters are moving their heads back and forth but everything is frozen. Lise was casting buffs then everything went crazy then lol.
  17. Character/Job Party Recommendations

    Those are all fantastic teams imo, it all depends on personal preference on how they want to play. Can't go wrong with any of them really.
  18. Character/Job Party Recommendations

    I only ran Sage once but I don't think I used Rainbow Dust more than once or twice and that just for fun, otherwise I kept using the curse upgrade and spammed dark force while Dragonmaster with her empowered antimagic making any monster with a weakness making weak to everything, Death Hand had Dark Saber, Magic Shield. Bishop was pretty powerful on my run with Lord and Dragonmaster, that was before the current update, that party with the current updste should work even better. Lord uses his level 2/3 tech to open up a counter, Lise and Carlie set with their level 1 techs and when possible equipping fireblaze on bosses. Dragonmaster inflicting poison to mobs and/or debuffs and with the empowered antimagic making use Bishop's lack of elemental spells (only light). And man I hate those Dragon Zombies, Turn Undead took care of them. I think that was one of the teams I enjoyed playing the most so far. Only difficulty I had was against Dolan because none of them are double hitters but just set to no tech use for all characters for better tech management for that fight. It might take longer but safer.
  19. Character/Job Party Recommendations

    That's true. Bishop is also a caster herself so it's situational moreso where you use her spell, but only restricted to light elemental. I guess a matter of preference here, I beat the game before with Ninja Master, Starlancer and Bishop, I was thinking post update to try out with Sage now instead and see how it goes, Starlancer also has access to Light/Dark Saber and boosts Sage's saint beam/dark force to a maximum. My worry is just lack of antimagic to make full use of curse upgrade or Rainbow Dust but it's doable without that too.
  20. Character/Job Party Recommendations

    When you put it this way you can't go wrong with either choice really.
  21. Character/Job Party Recommendations

    I think Ninja Master works best with Bishop and Starlancer. You have Energyball, Analyze, Bishop is a strong caster and her final weapon makes her strong physically too with her level 1 tech and now Counters ignoring physical resistance, have NM and Bishop with their level 1 techs go wild, you got Marduke. I think Sage would be better with anti magic user for her rainbow dust.
  22. Character/Job Party Recommendations

    You could also use Warrior Monk to free Lise from her role as a healer, misses only one debuff and has leaf saber, and have Vanadise make use of her final weapon on boss fights to do elemental damage assisting Angela, Grand Divina with her final weapon or Rune Master would be great picks there. Nightblade/Magus/Bishop sounds pretty strong also, Bishop cleaning those annoying dragon zombies, Magus has death spell. If you level up to 99 and face Dark Lich you will do you will have two spells to Nuke this boss. Death Spell also works greatly on bosses with no weaknesses but I recommend probably having one of those rings that absorb mp. This looks pretty damn good. Might take this suggestion for my all female and all male teams I plan on running at some point. Yeah don't think lack of Anti Magic is an issue here, you have coverage of six main elements, Marduke and Hawkeye also has Shuriken to take care of those mobs that reflect elements when needed or stick to counters with him. Wanted to run this team back then. It would be nice to play it more defensively with this, now it's much better due to Magic Shield taking care of physical and magic defense.
  23. Character/Job Party Recommendations

    I used Magic Walnuts, tho keep in mind the only fight I tried that strat was on Dragon Emperor as I bought that armor only then. I haven't it probably was removed It was useful but you have to be careful at it. Ideally with the curse upgrade I used also Carlies Gremlin summon to inflict curse on enemies one by one, or use antimagic if there was a dark resistant enemy. I also had Archmage and her final weapon which allowed me to multi target Cold Blaze very useful for mobs. I think I would find this strat more useful if I didn't hace Necromancer, since I got her with shadow spells curse upgrade was very useful. If I had Paladin, Rune Master, DragonMaster/Fenrir Knight/Warrior Monk let's say I think that strat would be a lot more useful than when you can use curse upgrade instead. But same idea still, I have used that strat but with Curse. Rune Master and Necromancer was a very powerful combo. Personally it was fun for me, I never used a party of Duran/Angela/Carlie in the original game, I hated using them, could lead to some of the worst teams in the game at least for me. Sin of Mana really nailed the balance, at least for me in Normal mode.
  24. Character/Job Party Recommendations

    Counters wreck that miniboss, and with my Ninja/Valkyrie/Gladiator run I had those weapons from dwarf village equipped that restore hp when dealing yellow damage. I used them till I got heal light with Vanadise, I think those were a pretty nice addition to help the the portions of the game that had no heal light. But still I can't imagine doing no heal light runs post final class change.
