Dr. Tarrasque Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 So far I've used Niime more often than Ray (because of her A in staves and that nice magic rating for great staff range) but I definitely prefer Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kintenbo Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Ray is definately superior, although I usually use Niime for the same reason as Boo. (Berserk staff is great with her) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Ray for sure. If it was based on cuteness, I would say Sophia, but I have a feeling it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Rei is pretty much the only option in this poll... Sophia is crap and lolNiime. I'm sure Niime has her uses somehow but Sophia... :( I don't really like any of them but still. Edited November 4, 2008 by Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Spoon Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I think Niime is the most viable druid. By viable, I mean staying back and using psychic, berserk, sleep, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Does this topic need to exist? *facepalm* -_- I can't think of a strategy as to how I would ever use Sophia and Niime when playing even Normal Mode. Everyone knows Ray is the best. Or he would have been if he gain HM bonus. Edit: And you spelled Rei wrong it's Ray. <_< Edited November 4, 2008 by 安室 奈美恵 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ercdouken Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I think Ray is the best of the three. Niime is useful as a staff user since she has A rank in staffs. Sophia is difficult to raise so I don't use her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikken Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Edit: And you spelled Rei wrong it's Ray. <_< Both are wrong. It's actually レイ. With no English localization, spell it however you want to... All of them suck, but Rey sucks the least, and by a fairly large margin.

Wist Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Does this topic need to exist? *facepalm* -_-I can't think of a strategy as to how I would ever use Sophia and Niime when playing even Normal Mode. Everyone knows Ray is the best. Or he would have been if he gain HM bonus. Edit: And you spelled Rei wrong it's Ray. <_< I think both are probably valid enough. Ray would be the conventional English spelling, but the direct transliteration from Japanese is Rei.I ended up bringing Sophia with me to the end game (in normal mode) because I was frustrated with Ray's lack of magic in that particular playthrough. Ray should have been the better candidate, but Sophia worked out okay once she went up a number of levels. Her good magic and resistance were good enough to be helpful. Maybe it's just because I ended up catering my play to help make up for her shortcomings, haha. But, yeah.... I don't think I'd use her in hard mode (unless I was going for some sort of weird challenge run) or any time that Ray is leveling up favorably.

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) What frustrates me is that she requires huge amount of babying in order to catch up to your teams who should be overleveled by then. It's so annoying to train her, especially on that desert map where you get her with fog of war, Wyverns wandering on the fields, and later Brigand reinforcements. She could easily get OHKOed...

Wist Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I agree, the first few chapters with Sophia, especially the desert one, are really tough because she's difficult to protect but at the same time needs to be leveled up if she's to be used at all.

Reikken Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 What sucks is that she starts out terrible, actually manages to be hard to level up since not only does she get one-rounded by everything, but also her hit sucks, and even once you do get her leveled up, she's still pretty crappy.

Mekkah Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I prefer Niime out of all of those. No need to baby her, just use those staves and rock on. Sure, her HP/Def are ass, but Ray can't hold the frontline either and required shielding for so much longer. Niime can just Physic from 10 miles away. Her other stats are somewhat decent, and she makes a handy extra unit in split-group chapters with Berserk/Sleep/Silence staves about. Hit stuff 50 times with her and she might even be able to :gaps: Apocalypse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torifae Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I used neither of them because they turn out bad for me...:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just call me AL Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Ray. I got Sophie to 20/01, but I went with the one with the higher speed. I found him a Manakete's worst nightmare when equipped with Apocalypse. He basically didn't need Apocalypse to kill those Manaketes though.

Lightshayde Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Sofiya because you can always arena abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Ray by far. Sophia's stats are awful. Putting that aside, she's still an incredibly annoying character. A moderately cute face isn't nearly enough to redeem her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Definitely Rei, with Niime in second as a filler in the later chapters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Whoops, I forgot about Niime. I never really used her for much outside of a little staff use here and there. It would be nice if she actually had some HP and defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clonez Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I like Niime the best. No need to train her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tyler Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Never, EVER use Sophia. She's not the perfect Est archtype, not by a long shot. I like to use Ray since he comes early and that gives you a chance to train him. Niime is okay. Sophia is . . .a waste of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intoner Two Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I picked Sofiya simply because I don't mind doing extra work, in fact, I enjoy a challenge to be honest, plus she'll always be a stronger candidate than Niime for Dark Magic use at just a few levels into Druid training, really it's personal taste -I tend to pick just one of Lugh/Ray or Lilina/Sofiya to train, so never both mages nor shamans and always one boy and one of the girls- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I like Sophia because she finds a Guiding Ring for a better magic user. She's a great team player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
