???. Lia Leazas, most standout trait is her 03 skill sometimes Resets the parties cooldown after battle, might not actually be worth using for consistency and basically useless in actual battle or bosses. Has bad stats, low lvl cap and no standout skills that also suffer cooldown problems.
I gave her two, maybe three chipped stars after getting her, and her Thunder Dragon (3 cost/cooldown AOE) is already super badass (crits pretty much all the time, similar to how OP she is in Rance Quest with the luck thing...). Even works on hannies! So I wouldn't say she's useless in actual battle. I'm sure, if you level her some more and maybe even feed her some strength pills... Granted, there's still that cooldown cost of three, which is quite a bit.
Well, my opinion is biased, since I do like Lia a lot. Super fun character, and easily one of the bestest girls in Rance for a multiple of reasons. Just take this game/installment: you've saved Leila weeks ago, met Rick and Barres and took them to all kinds of places and what not... yet the only one that joins your pool has been Sel for the longest time... who lectures you all day long... BOOOHHH. BOOOOHHHHH. But when you finally go and rescue Lia, she's immediately down for a threesome and joins your char pool right away, even bringing Maris along. Lia a best! gahahaha.
...right now I'm in train of conquering west tower, so Leila, Rick, Yulan and Menad finally joined me as well. And I think what your char summary is missing a bit is usefulness of characters at different stages of the game. Menad might be great with that 6-star AOE, but so far, she sucks. Similarly Leila sucks too and has lots of leveling to do (I mean, even Maris has more OMPFF than her currently). Yulan indeed doesn't seems to be useful (at any point). And Rick is a total badass already. But so is Felis (who served well throughout the whole game up to here; just cycling/switching between her massive cooldown AOEs sucks balls).
Oh, and now, with all these new characters I have to level up, I switched out Kanami (she's currently level capped anyways and I'm all out of chipped stars...) and noticed right away how nice she's to have in your lineup: those surprise attacks suck. Sometimes super hard!
Wondering if anyone uses a full team or use a few less to use more skills? A full team has more hp to work with but a smaller team would gain exp faster.
hmmm, good point. How exactly are the total gained experience points shared anyways? Equally over all present/used characters, or is it weighted by how many skills each character occupies?
