Quick Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Katarina looks great. This is a nice surprise; I wasn't expecting any more DLC characters. But I hope there's more in the future, as unlikely as it seems. I...I just...I can't let Joshua go. He's too fucking awesome. Why isn't he here? WHY? :Joshua: It takes time to make something as awesome as him. Heck, might just make a new season exclusively for him. I really need to get that drawing finished.... Anyways, I believe that this second season was pretty decent. I didn't like the approach they went with Summer of Bonds but now seeing the series end I think it went pretty well. Katarina seems like a nice edition if a team still hasn't made a cry's set for a unit. (I'm not though, I can't wait this long just to see an idea I like implimented) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't I think of that? I'll be back with something awesome. Maybe on a new thread since it'll be pretty off topic for this one. Edit: ne'mind. I've rediscovered that I suck at drawing characters who already exist. Edited November 22, 2012 by Murdok Dracul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miatt Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Katarina is a strategist? And if yes, she gives something for the other characters to change class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miscellany Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 And damn, I want to find out what Gangrel's conversations with Emmeryn and Inverse is about. It legitimately interests me. INORITE? Inverse gets one with Tiki, which I also really want to see >< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Katarina's a strategist "story-wise" and a Grandmaster in the game. You only get Katarina as a reward for this chapter, although if you beat Anna you also get an Ultimate Emblem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just leave the work to me then, in a couple of decades I'll get this finished. (In all seriousness though, it's gonna take me a couple of weeks if I'm going to be spot-on) Anyways, back on topic. Katarina doesn't bring any new items to the table, unfortunately. She's still pretty cool to have though.....Although for the millionth time now Elincia is the best Cry supporter.

Emerald Wyvern Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Well, well, well. Katarina came out of nowhere,.. but I'm not disappointed actually. Nice art, good character, and unique class as far as DLC characters are concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hmm. So any info on how to fight Anna (and presumably the Berserker) and "completely" beat the map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weebos Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 This may seem kind of selfish, after we were already supplied with her in-game portrait and her official artwork so quickly, but does anybody have a picture of her battle model? (I know it's basically generic, but I'd still like to see it if it's not too much trouble.) I would actually love to see the models of all the paid DLC characters, but obviously such an undertaking will be a low priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karasz Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Grandmaster Katarina comes a little bit out of left field, but I actually don't mind it at all. Her new artwork looks really cool, considering it was done by Yusuke Kozaki. Though with her release, it kind of makes me wonder if there's going to be 3 parts to The Strongest One's Name. We'll see. Looking at her stats, they're pretty interesting. Grandmasters are technically supposed to balance Strength and Magic, yet Katarina's Magic vastly outranks her Strength. And being given Strength, Speed, Defense, and Rainbow Cry, and Dark Blessing upon recruitment...dang, that's pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Strongest One's Name is the fourth Ultimate Training map, and UT is only supposed to have four maps based on the initial promotional video. As that finale to the series, it's one difficulty level above the others, so MAX as opposed to the five-star maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturnal YL Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hmm. So any info on how to fight Anna (and presumably the Berserker) and "completely" beat the map? There are two series of maps. If you beat the first map within 2 turns, you'll be asked whether you want to play the alternate set. In that set, normal enemies will have the stats of sub-team leaders, and this is where Anna and the zero-move Berserker are found (in the 5th and 4th battles respectively).

King Marth 64 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Was it the different Anna like the ones from The Five Annas DLC episode or was it the same recruitable Anna fighting this DLC chapter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Divine Weapon, that's a 65% Aether activation rate, and of course you have to fight her from range. And you need 66+ Spd to not get regular doubled, which means you need buffs, because only Mark can do that without them. And she moves? Hmm. Doing the calculations, if you avoid Counter and her Brave Lance by attacking at range, you avoid being doubled by having 66+ Spd, and you have 80 HP, you still need 52+ Def to not die to Aether. Which, granted, is reasonable on this scale, but still. And if she really does move, you need to throw a bunch of these supercharged characters at her at once to obliterate her in one turn, while she heals with Aether. And probably deal with other enemies at the same time? Was it the different Anna like the ones from The Five Annas DLC episode or was it the same recruitable Anna fighting this DLC chapter? Every Anna in the game other than the one in S4 is a different Anna from the recruitable one. Even the one in S2 is different.

spoon98 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Strength Cry Speed Cry Defense Cry Rainbow Cry Dark Blessing i think it would make more sense if she had magic cry instead of defense cry still that's amazing finally a third dark blessing character that isn't mark just going to be the very last one possible :\.

Does this Anna somehow have Major Jenova blood or what? I seriously hope that no DLC is left behind in the localisation. Especially in this case.
