Fu-Q, Ghost Q!

[mikogalatea]

Been playing more Devil Survivor 2, though I did take a break from it for a little while. Anyway, I've just beaten Merak! It's kind of the reason I took a break in the first place, since I was trying to work out how best to go about beating it, but I've done it now~. I wish I'd handled certain aspects better (first I overestimated the width of its ice laser attack, then I rather stupidly forgot about the attack itself at a time when I shoudln't have done...) but hey, it's over and done with.

Now I'm on the beginning of Day 3, and... well, I'm being pissed off at Ghost Q. I know his battle is optional, and of course I know better than to expect anything in an Atlus game to be a walk in the park, but still! Damn his ability to attack twice every time! Damn his tendency to poison my entire party! And damn all his annoying minions that insist on trying to gang up on my poor lonely MC! Grr, grr, grr!

I'll try fusing up some better demons and see how far that takes me, because I've got enough pride that I don't want to give up without trying. Still, if it proves to be too much, I know I can truly say "Fu-Q" to him and get on with the actual game...

I also just wanna say that I love Hinako. Okay, so maybe she's not the best party member to take into battle (unless she gets better with more levels) but I don't care - personality-wise, she's an absolute BAMF. I just wish there were DeSu 2 icons floating around; I don't think I've even seen any, which is a real pity, because I want a Hinako~. D:

Not the best party member to take into battle nothing. Once you can equip the Multi- skills on her and have legitimate support (i.e. Pierce, Tailwind), she absolutely decimates everything that doesn't repel physical (and in Multi-Strike's case, the entire enemy team without her two team-mates ever having to attack at all) before they can even touch her due to her speed. Statistically speaking, she's the only character who maxes out both Str and Agi, and with Drain Hit, you can easily have a self-sustaining physical monster who can steamroll most non-boss enemies in less than 5 seconds.

Not that other physically-oriented characters are not as good - Jungo maxes out Str halfway through his growth and tanks hits like a boss, and Keita is a hard-hitter with an amazing speed - but in regards to the Multi- skills, Hinako is the ideal choice due to her consistently balanced Str-Agi growth. And this alone makes her worthy of use to any team. Trust me, I've seen more than a few people being surprised at how crazy good she is.

tl;dr: Don't think that she's not a BAMF gameplay-wise.

... oh sweet. See, that's the sort of thing I can't really tell when she only gets to gain a few levels on Day 2 - or perhaps it's because her stronger stats aren't quite as blatantly exaggerated to start with as, say, Keita's Str. ^^; I think she's even more one of my favourites now.
