That's definitely interesting information. It's kind of neat that the monsters are slowly moving around even on lower floors of the dungeon as you are exploring the earlier floors...

Re: Ultimate weapon & armour combo (including special weapons)
I definitely agree with the comment you made about Daggers being useful for training Ninja levels, slickrcbd. I also recall myself using the Teowand to help Halk and Stamm learn magic before I learned that War Cry can be used to gain Healer levels....

Re: Ultimate weapon & armour combo (including special weapons)
If I had to choose between Swing, Thrust, and Berzerk, I would definitely be using Thrust. Swing simply doesn't produce enough damage, and Berzerk has a longer recovery time than any other type of physical attack.

Re: Ultimate weapon & armour combo (including special weapons)
Right - a lot of my comments assume that you actually plan to remain standing toe-to-toe with an opponent rather than hitting it, ducking away, and then returning to hit it again once the recovery time for the first attack has elapsed....

Re: Ultimate weapon & armour combo (including special weapons)
Diamond Edge and Hardcleave both reduce an enemies' armor rating, they both have slightly higher base attack ratings than the Inquisitor, they both have access to the Chop command. Due to its heavy weight, Hardcleave will also have a higher Strength/Weight bonus if the character wielding it has very...

Re: Ultimate weapon & armour combo (including special weapons)
For most ordinary purposes, Chop is the attack you want to use. It is reasonably fast, does decent damage, and does not have a negative defensive modifier associated with it like Stab, Thrust, and Berzerk do. If you want to inflict as much damage without regard to your characters' defense, Stab is p...

Re: Ultimate weapon & armour combo (including special weapons)
I'll take a quick stab at this: Best Melee / Special Weapons: The Diamond Sword is definitely the best conventional melee weapon. Hardcleave isn't bad, either, and ordinary Axes are also surprisingly good. The Vorpal Blade you mentioned is the only supplemental special purpose weapon I normally carr...

Re: Best champions - an analytical approach
Thank you for posting the link, Christophe. Like you mention in your notes, the maps which display in the game's ending sequence do not seem to be entirely accurate - however, it's still neat to see the maps of the floors rotating around once you complete the game.

Re: Best champions - an analytical approach
I didn't really get a chance to scrutinize the dungeon maps which are shown during the ending of the SNES version of the game - you don't get to see each map for very long, so if you wanted to look at them carefully, you would probably have to record the ending sequence so you can pause on each of t...

Re: Solo runs with various champions
Hey RogerS, Does using different Champions make the runs feel somewhat different to you? My inclination is to think that once you've managed to train your characters a bit that they tend to have somewhat similar capabilities - however, looking at Gando's 56 base Strength and 39 base Vitality in your...
