The War Room Part 8: (Hitting 30 in Gen 2)

This one will probably be very short, but it's still worth making just for how valuable this knowledge is. Now, like I said, pure melee units tend to have the hardest time capping their level; combat is their only way of getting EXP, and this game already moves slowly enough as it is. So because of that, there are four very dangerous pitfalls that you want to avoid...

quote:

1) Obsessing over ALWAYS having the Elite Ring on someone before EVERY fight in the Arena, even when they're already high leveled.

2) Feeding too many enemies to one unit.

3) Feeding too many civilians to one unit

4) Feeding civilians to any unit that can get EXP outside of combat (staff bots, thieves, and dancers)


Now, we can avoid No. 4 easily enough; but the only way to calculate No.'s 1-3 is to figure out exactly how much EXP you get from each and every fight in the Arena WITH THE ELITE RING EQUIPPED...and then factor that in to how much EXP you already have. That's around 35 fights that I had to calculate using the following formula...

code:
30 + [(enemy’s Level – Level) x 2]


As well as keeping track of how high leveled your Arena foes are...

If that all seems long and tedious...that's because it is. Worse yet, I kept making small mistakes in my calculations, making the whole thing take even LONGER than it already was. But that's alright; I had saves from Chapters 8-Final, so I was able to work it out just by taking a Staff bot, and manipulating her EXP till I had hit the EXACT sweet spot for each Chapter! So here's EXACTLY how much EXP. you need by the time you hit the Arena in each Chapter!

quote:

Chapter 7: Level 11 (24 EXP)

Chapter 8: Level 14 (88 EXP)

Chapter 9: Level 18 (64 EXP)

Chapter 10: Level 22 (48 EXP)

Chapter Final: Level 26 (28 EXP)


So if you're in Chapter 7, you need to buy the Elite Ring and have Level 11 w/24 EXP; that's what you need before you can Level 30 off of JUST Arena fights. And if you're on Chapter 8, see six Civilians, and wondering which combat unit to give them to? Do NOT feed ANY of them to ANYONE who's cleared the Arena, and is Level 18(64) or higher. You're only wasting EXP if you do so.
