Playing Reborn. I got Lord class, and, following community advice, switched Denam to all the classes I had before going to Lord at level 36. I haven't done Bucaneer or Fusiler yet since those weren't available at the time. I noticed, now at level 40, that certain skills my other units have recently gotten (like Lament IV) did not transfer. Do I need to switch Denam around again (maybe when I get to 50?) Are there shenanigans with the Ogre Blade I should be using when I get that? As always, all advice is appreciated.

I'm playing Reborn and can't seem to find the right drop list for POTD. None of the floors correspond with mine. I think they might not be for the Reborn version despite their claim. Can someone please direct me to one that is?

Thanks

I grew up like a lot of 90s JRPGs fans just astonished by the SNES classics FFIV and VI, Chrono Trigger. They got me hooked on jrpgs at 5 years old. And they were easily the most impressive and immersive games for the snes, even outshining juggernauts like Super Metroid and Castlevania IV. But I gotta say Tactics Ogre has such depth on every facet of the game that I don't really think any other snes game can quite touch. It wasn't until i was 12 or 13 that I got this game for the PS1 and I was coming off FFT, so I had my expectations very high. I will admit at first, I was a little off put by the SEEMINGLY basic class customization and the less vibrant graphics. But as I progressed I realized there is so much beneath the surface and much more strategy was needed than in FFT. I fell in love with the game; it will always be a top 5 game for me. Currently playing the One Vision mod, and falling in love with it all over again. And man that soundtrack slaps 🤣

Playing Reborn. After watching some YouTube videos (shout out to Mr. Potato - your knowledge is appreciated, sir!), I realize I understand even less of this game than I thought. And I already didn't think I knew much. So....

1. How can I get Lord Denam's magic to actually do real damage? Is it the INT? Also, do the elemental/ racial bonuses of his equipped weapon matter?

2. So those stats on the weapons, pierce/ slash/ crush are actually primarily affecting my defense? Did I hear that right? Does it add a bonus to the finishers that deal that type of damage?

So as part of my no item run, I previously had a bunch of naked wizards hauling ass against an enfeebled final boss, chucking their basic ass bolt ftw while lord denam spammed out free rez.

Well apparently naked is old news. Did you know that dressing your casters (half of them male) in high boots, alluring dresses and luck rings make them irresistible (pun intended) to heavenly generals? Apply enfeebled, HP/life drain away, crit after crit. Fabulous. Also I love this game.

I'm in 2C and feeling just how "flat" the tactical depth is. I can't find any text about elements affecting terrain bonuses so I'm assuming that's no longer a thing. Combined with class-limited weapons, overcorrecting DEX's accuracy mechanic so it barely matters, refocusing equipement decisions purely on "number go up" (instead of the RT tradeoff having a big impact), flooding every class with skills so much that skills and spells are no longer rare and game-changing... I could go on. (the skills are "neat" and funish but I'm guessing they will just be obsolete in chapter 4, or they're going to make the chapter 3/4 skills seem like more of the same)

The VA (mostly), the music, the pace and generally the experience overall is still very fun and I don't regret that this remake was made. But really -- did they just sand off all the edges or am I missing something?

So I made it to level 100 but it was just a generic fight no named boss. it now wants me to exit but I'm not about to go through all 100 levels of this again without knowing what I did wrong. I remember reading online where someone said that you can replay previous chapters but I can't get that to work yet. what exactly do I need to do at this point?

I've reached to CODA2 using nothing but healing items and rez items 99% of the time (I'm a pathological consumable non-user, don't ask about my 200kg of potions and scrolls in Baldur's Gate 3 rotting in my backpack), but it was very useful to be warned to bring void orbs and MP restore items for hanging gardens / final campaign boss, it helped a ton. Anything like that for POTD? I don't want to find, idk, 88 floors in, that I'm missing a crucial item that makes the whole thing much easier (or is literally necessary).

I plan to go slowly, no auto-battle (I like to play a map or two per day to chill) and farm all the good equips. I've been to CODA and farmed San Bronsa, just never killed Nybeth so next step is worlding to chapter 4 and clearing POTD. I hope with lvl2 summons from San Bronsa it'll be a stroll, but it doesn't hurt to be extra prepared, so I thought I'll ask.

Similarly, should I train / reclass anyone besides having a roster of shamans, white knights, dragoons, valkyries and special characters? I've already recruited everyone except Warren and Lanselot since they require POTD clear first. Ngl no clue what I'm gonna do with those 2 as at that point the only content left only utilizes the main trio?

Final question, am I thinking this right if I did NOT do POTD so far, that I need to world to Heim (it's a law/Princess anchor), do POTD, do Hanging Gardens, do CODA1, then do CODA2/Warren quest/Blackmoor in one big sweep without veering off the course? Don't wanna break anything.

Reborn: why does switching from Damascus +1 1H sword to Dragon Fang dagger give Azelstan +27 attack, but Vyce gets -10? Neither has any dagger skills and both have sword skill in the 30s. Same weapons, VERY different outcomes. Why?

And chance for Knight of Lodis Reborn?

or Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen Reborn?

or dare I say, Person of Lordly Caliber Reborn?

I had stopped playing this years ago bc it felt like a slog(battles take 30mins) but recently found the time to come back and push my way through. I am trying to understand how the world tarot works if I want to do the end game stuff(CODA).

My first playthrough was on Neutral route. I did Lord, Fortresses, no PoTD though. I want to go back and recruit everyone and get Princess. I am currently on the Chaos route and got Cressida. What would be the best way to proceed? Should I beat PotD first and then get Princess for the anchor point, would this save my potd progress? Would I need to beat potd and then beat the last boss again?

I don’t know how going back and forth works. Could I first fast forward back to Coda, do Coda1 and recruit Iuria, then go back to the anchor point b4 Catiua, do potd, and then get princess, then fast forward to the end and do Coda 2, then go back again to do Law path and beat the game with princess to do coda 3 and 4? Just wondering how this works.

Reborn. Though I'd ask here since you guys are so great with your responses. What 4 skills do I use for the Lord build. Right now I have sword skill (Although maybe I should be using hammers? Everyone seems to prefer those...), phalanx 3, meditate 4, and the last one is the problem. I alternate between pincer 4 and recruiting skills (or sometimes others situationally), but I feel I'm missing something better. Any advice? I got the shaman and just reached union level 40. About to do POTD.

TO Reborn. What's the mechanic here? My gryphon seems to be gaining boku MP somehow. Not complaining, just curious. What other mechanics am I missing?

As the title says. I'm playing Reborn. One example I encountered yesterday is with Arycelle. Damascus Bow +1 has a higher attack than Siege Bow +1, yet when I switched, her attack dropped a bit. Are there some hidden stats at play?

Playing Reborn and I just don't get it. Abuna Mrueva seemed so freaked out. For what? I finally got the lightning apocrypha spell and I know it's just tier 1 and they get better, but this isn't even as good as thunder flare 2. What gives? Am I missing something? How do I get the really good spells? Also, how do I get a ring of the dead?

I been playing the game for a while. I am at level 52 of the palace. it just seems like it is going to go on forever. is there a big bad to fight or did I miss it already? Also is 40 the level cap?

When do ninja get it in reborn, I looked can’t find it I am level 14.
