Generals already get Great Shield as a class skill, so choose a different personal skill.

Devil’s Luck only activates if you have a chance of backfiring (be it from having a Devil weapon or the opponent having a different Devil skill). Is that what you wanted?

Guess he’s going to need a special battle quote with Exia, be it on this PME or in Velvet’s. Or both.

Do you mean Tower Shield+? (Short Shield is the one that activates in melee)

So unpromoted units/armors in range can’t move at all? I wonder if this will affect the prologue cutscene.

Also, just to doublecheck, who does the last “units” refer to?

One of these will need to be a class skill.

Also, Devil’s Luck only activates if you have a chance of backfiring (be it from having a Devil weapon or the opponent having a different Devil skill). Is that what you wanted?

Only the last item in the inventory can be droppable.

Could probably cheat and force a drop via an event upon death. I think FFFF gives the drop to whoever initiates battle? I dunno if there’s a way to tell if the defender is the one who won.

The last ‘units’ refers to the user, sorry for making it vague

I’ll get rid of the mist items so the stone is the only thing in the inventory but could you give the berserker near the boss the skill scroll.

I shall get rid of devil’s luck

Right, so instead of Great Shield then, give him Short Shield. The whole point is to force you to fight him with magic lol. Also, I think it was devil’s whim? The one that gives both units a chance to backfire. That one, he needs that now.

@Taylor I feel like your bosses are a bit overturned for the point of the game. Usually people start getting promoted around the desert chapter and you are throwing endgame level enemy’s at the player.
Ashe does 45 damage with an AS of 37 probably flying in a desert chapter and double lion. Celerity buffs mov, colossus triples strength so 75 strength when it procks. And resolve just makes it more painful. Imo the personal is way too overturned and speed needs to be taken off.
Yelena: is honestly base stat wise fine. The personal again is the problem. A 6 tile radius is obscene and gaining +3 move 6 atk and speed is already scary with a speed of 31 there are only a few units that won’t get doubled this skill is almost always active anyway. Yelena with this build can just decide to kill a unit cause fuckem. The worst part about this skill is the +45 avoid capping out around a avoid of 110, no one is going to hit her unless you arena abuse.
I don’t want to be the guy that says “muh balance” Jesus I made tuli. But there is a difference between a challenging boss and an unfair one.
To give some pointers for future boss design wich I feel help

  1. SPD is a dangerous stat to have a lot of. Usually try to keep it in a range from 16-22 mid game.
  2. Mov is not a stat that should ever be touched by skills. Celerity is very simple and considered one of the best skills in the game.
  3. Know how to beat your own boss. Sagumoto for example he has very high stats, immune to range and has nihil. He is locked to 1 range tho and forces a 1v1 of the player,you can try to juggernaut him with your own strong character or try to use support skills like whitepool to reduce the advantage he has over you, also hoplonguard.
  4. If you want your skill to give stats don’t go above +4 or -4. Just makes it less dangerous for the player.
  5. Would you have fun fighting your own boss? Don’t forget that the boss you design will be against you.
    5.1 Making a playable unit is different from making an enemy one. A playable unit gives someone positive reactions a op playable unit gives the player a good dose of Positivity while a op enemy can cause frustration.
    I find it really important to make bosses not completely unfair cause those bosses dictate how the player is able to progress and how much fun the player will have even more then playable units.

Tldr: Making fair bosses is important so that the enjoyment of the Rom won’t suffer to much

PS: changed sagumoto a bit -4 luck +1 speed.
His personal weapon is unbreakable because I noticed 20 uses kinds defeats the whole point of him.

I’m probably never going to unlazy and do a proper portrait so I’ll just toss his brother’s portrait.

Thought that it could be fun to have a WAY more extreme version of Life and Death, hehehehe. Yes, it does make his paltry DEF/RES totally useless.
I know a boss like this shouldn’t randomly have an ultimate weapon, but I’m ‘not’ not going give a Wolf Berserker an axe from a legendary Wolf… didn’t i say something to this effect before…?
we’ll have to see if i can unlazy long enough at some point to do a proper portrait and palette. laaaaaazy.

There is a character that has Wrath as a personal skill, so you’ll need to choose another.

I was planning to leave commenting once I had playtested it but yeah, those two personal skills look rather unbalanced. For Death’s Grip, I’d consider giving the move penalty only to unpromoted units and removing the self-buff effect (and maybe making its debuffs affect allies and enemies alike), and for High Pursuit, restrict its effects to the user’s phase only.

Also, I probably should nerf Colossus to its PoR version.

Yeah, I probably should do that, especially since you get no unit with Nihil on Tharja’s route.
As for the bosses… well, Ashe and Yelena replace Valter and Caellach, both joining in Creature Campaign.

Talking about scrolls, I was thinking of making scrolls, instead of teaching a skill, simply granting its effect as long as you have them in the inventory. What do you all think?

Poor Exia.

…As for the two Fomortiis, I’m mildly tempted of holding a poll. But I’ve also got this one idea I came with…
