Blaze340 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I was wondering do those bands also affect the stat growth of Laguz. Because I wanted to give Reyson a soldier band in hopes of increasing his chances of having defense and H.P go up. I wanted him to get into a fight against Ashnard so I can see the dialog without getting killed in one hit from Ashnard. And since it's pretty hard to get both stats to rise simultaneously, I figure I'd give him soldier band to at least increase the chances of him doing so.....

Ϲharlie Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) I'm pretty sure they affect Laguz as well, although I don't think the paltry growth increase will help much. You'd probably be better off giving Reyson a bunch of Seraph Robes and Dracoshields. By the way, you're only permitted to have one image in your signature. Could you remove one?

PuffPuff Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yeah, and sadly you only can get two of them each. ;_; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatrie: Guns Blazing Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I gave my reyson the knight band and things went pretty good for him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yes, it might sometimes go pretty well, but that's what we call personal experience, of which the outcome will never be exactly the same (you won't have the exact same team that does the exact same things twice). Technically, you probably have a 0.00000000000000000000000000001% chance or something that it will happen (though it's probably even less than that). Anyway, yes, the bands do affect Laguz Growth.

Killer Poleax Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The bands usually don't do much for me no matter who I give them to. Maybe it's cause I play random mode but I don't see much of a change when characters level up. I'm thinking of selling them next time I play.

Maybe it's cause I play random mode but I don't see much of a change when characters level up. I'm thinking of selling them next time I play. For a level one character it's basically giving them a +2 ( +4 in the case of the Mage Band and a whopping +12 in the case of the Knight Ward ) over time on each stat it affects on average. They're useful if you abuse bonus experience or something, but otherwise you might want to sell them for cash. The Knight Ward is nice enough for the +2 in both defenses and the higher boost, though.

The Knight Ward is nice enough for the +2 in both defenses and the higher boost, though. Since you'll likely be trading them around between characters and considering most characters come at a higher level than 1/0, it'll more likely be +1 on average, which is only very rarely worth something.

Ϲharlie Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The bands do stack with weapon and class alterations on fixed mode, so you actually can get a noticeable stat increase with a little micromanagement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 On fixed mode, yes. On random mode they will rarely have any noticeable effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, but I was considering the effect of a band perma equipped on someone from start to finish just so he could get an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atriel Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) This reminds me. I was playing in hard mode, and i screwed up. Reyson was in Ashanard's range. I though "Well, reset i guess..." But then Reyson *gasp* dodged! WTF?! In fact, i screwed up a lot in that one, and strange enough i was able to finish it in just 1 try.

During all my play throughs, They have done wonders in helping me. It sure helps my Gatrie out with his speed and skill problem.... This reminds me. I was playing in hard mode, and i screwed up.

Nasir had to be sitting in his attack range, but luckily, he didn't get killed. Soon he moved, I said "WTF?!"

It sure helps my Gatrie out with his speed and skill problem.... You could have just been luckier, you know. The way random mode is, just becuase it's there doesn't mean it caused it. On the other hand, there is the very small chance that most of his skill and speed-ups were in that 5% range of the band. Who knows? Wait a second. Gatrie's skill problems are only due to his weak base. 55% growth means it's going up pretty reliably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatrie's skill problems are only due to his weak base. 55% growth means it's going up pretty reliably. He usually gets about a 19 to 22 at skill and about 17 to 19 for speed. But for some reason, when I give him a Archer or Thief band, he gets awfully close to cap both stats. If I were to give him a Speedwing or Secret Book, he just about caps.....

Your Gatries tend to get Skill screwed and Speed blessed, actually. But I'm assuming you 20/20 him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strength growth +5%, Defence growth +5% That's pretty good imo, at least compared to most of the other bands.

I actually find Brom more useful than Gatrie. He usually caps speed, skill, and def. His strength for some reason only ends up at 25 though. And sometimes, he would cap str along with his other stat caps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
