    I assume you mean Merugene?

    This version is a bit stricter on the element gimmick than vanilla's where you could just bruteforce it with physical.
    But in comparison she always uses a spell of her current "type" after form change instead of fight/wait for 1-2 rounds where you could only blindly guess in vanilla.
    Her forms are fire, ice, bolt and wind - the last replacing a non-elemental high p.def form - each form has one unlisted weakness out of the same elements.
    E.g. if she form changes and then casts ice she is weak to fire.

    Same as vanilla she always starts with the form weak to fire.
    Technically you can bypass the entire gimmick with the pierce passive but she takes 3x damage from her proper weakness so it'd still be worth it to play along.

    the arcanist, in particular, has a bunch of very specific abilities that seem powerful, but i'm not much of an arithmetician myself so i'm having trouble cracking any "broken" uses. if anyone's got any tricks or tips for using the arcanist, i'd love to hear them :`) 

    !Scan is your friend for L3/4, Odd/Even, Crusher and XXXX.
    If the weaknesses line up, cast the damage+status spells and then follow up with GrimWail.
    For ChainBolt you want 5+ enemies at the same time.

    out of curiosity, i looked to see if any of the other weapons which procced job actions were working with !Fight. haven't made it to the phantom village for the thief knife yet, but Dancing Dagger was able to proc !Dance just fine. Sword Dance and Jitterbug Duet landed as expected in my test as well.

    ok so that more or less proves my suspicion, only x-fight and twincut use the variable. and the later is on no weapon.

    So just to be clear any boss can be afflicted with any status ailment now if you try hard enough and mess around with the element board?

    technically yes, but elementally resisted status effects require a ton of effort and high magic stat so it is most likely never worth bothering. status effects work less on rng now and more on a status damage variant. if your magic is too weak and they resist the status the damage may be in fact 0 making it impossible.

    Also i am horrible at the game probably but i always die any more from the sap caused by the element bored and i dont know how to remove it after makeing the board in my faver...pure doesnt work on that verson of sap so i dont know what to do to prevent it

    if you mean the sap from:
    2 water + 2 earth = 4 poison, set swamp effect
    try praising the sun:
    2 fire + 2 light = 4 sun, removes swamp effect, dot vs undead units, heal user if consumed

    also the dot from swamp is poison element so units weak to poison take much more damage from it.

    if instead you mean the sap from:
    2 wind + 2 void = 4 vacuum, massive dot
    get the icons ASAP out of the field. that one is basically "you die" level of damage

    do you have access to normal !x-fight? does the same happen if you use that with the bow?

    current theory:
    skills procced by weapon don't carry over the hit count value or set it to 0 (a value only used by meteo in vanilla).
    so it pre-calculates hits until hit attempts equals 0 and if you start at 1 and only increment... a lot of stuff gets written to memory where it shouldn't be...

    chance for chest at all:
    1/3, independant of monster type

    chance for rare item is:
    ((LUCK+5) x LUCK) / 10 + flat chance from enemy out of 100

    if it results in a rare item it is simply 1/6 for each of the possible rare drops
    if it results in a common drop instead, 1/3 for each common drop, straight forward really

    there's a routine in the game that runs every so often (after every kill?) and if it sees that you have 20+ luck it just randomly decides to max your luck out.
    I don't know why it is there but it is.
    Combine it with the above and you get a rare drop rate of "yes" or at least very close to it.

    I shall mitigate that, as soon as I figure out how (shouldn't be a problem).

    11C3E0-area one row per enemy
    11C3E0   - base chance rare drop pre luck
    11C3E1-6 - all 20? seem unused
    11C3E7-C - rare items
    11C3ED-F  - common items

    It may give me ideas on new things that I never even thought about.

    Like it being impossible to get the "common" items once you get 20+ luck?

    Also I found a bug, I'm not sure if it is in the vanilla rom or not.. but when you cross over the waterfall with the fairy early on and cross back over to back track to jadd (I was low on supplies) there are lvl 17 enemies there.  Since I had Kevin + Duran I could dispatch them pretty easily and was getting 2k exp per kill.  Needless to say I abused it to get over leveled for the area and went back to face the boss haha.

    Going by the code this would be more a sequence break than a bug.
    Maybe that is the reason the rabite family gives so pitiful exp - they might have known of this and lazily patched it that way.

    Well, there's not much I can do against people that love to grind.

    that has got nothing to do with each other at all;
    you go and demand I change the hack even further away from what my vision for it is and I say no to that,
    but that doesn't say anything about me working around how BSNES handles mirrored rom sections different (fucking LoRom), the specs I have disagree with the behaviour of BSNES, in older versions it worked, so dunno. not a concern atm, got other stuff that has priority.

    I think Praetarius plans to nerf these by taking away the heal on Level 1 tech, though, which should nerf them by up to 50%, depending on how you use your double-hitters. This might be sufficient.

    It will only proc on crits and counters.

    While this is not a debilitating problem for high Luck builds (which happens to be my entire current team), I can imagine this would really hurt casters that ignore their Vitality and Luck stats. Maybe this is intended?

    From what I've heard noone ever skimps on VIT and half the caster have luck as secondary damage stat.

    Overall I think the threat of crits is overstated; I had a test Angela with 15 VIT (never put a point there) take a measly 100~120 damage from lv90+ Nightblades on a non-crit.
    She'd still need 4-5 crits to die - and I'm not a fan of facetankable content.
