final team picked. I'm going with Olivier and Kloe. the previous two can rest cuz I want to vary, and Agate and Zin aren't that good

(well Zin is good if the enemy is not immune to taunt, but I can't just rely on that)

since this is the last part, I'll post the quartz setup

Estelle, Josh, Kloe and Olivier, respectively:

Everyone has White Gehenna except Estelle. Though she has Aero Storm, which is the next best thing. She also has Spiral Flare, for damage variety, Blue Impact, for single target, and is also a healer. Attack 3 also makes her physical attacks stronk.

Actually they are all healers except Josh. You can never have too many of them, and it means everyone gets Blue Impact.

Josh and Olivier both have the full time set, including Anti-Sept All and Clock Up Ex, cuz why not. Kloe also has Clock Up Ex.

Olivier has the most variety, with time, wind and water attacks, as well as Chaos Brand and Earth Wall, and the healing. He can do whatever I want, except fire I guess. Kloe is a nerfed version of Olivier, though a nerfed version of a great thing is still great, and she has Not a Falcon who is OP. Actually she has Thearal, which can be useful if just a single character is dying.

Josh is just using time attacks and dealing a shitton of damage, and really, that's all Attack 3 is there for. Though Flare Arrow is a decent option for single target.

And now I realize nobody has haze or cloak so I'm gonna be swarmed by random encounters, but whatever, Kloe and Olivier need some xp. And well I can just equip Cloak if I have to backtrack

we face a new type of chest boss, M-Series Doom. They aren't super tanky but they cast the strongest spells in the game (first time I see Volcanic Rave) and have a self-destruct with large AoE. I beat them by just hitting faster but next time I'm using anti-sept all

there's also an even bigger robot with a single target machine gun attack. Not much to say, but it makes a nasty combo with self destructing one. I still prefer those guys over the Impede rocket bot, though. Impede is very OP when in the hands of enemies

so I'm using a map and I'm not even ashamed. This dungeon is annoying to navigate. This reminds me of old gaming times where I just used walkthroughs for everything, before I got more confident about my own gaming abilities

like, my first go at Ocarina's Water Temple was fully walthroughed, I even printed the guide with images, cuz the temple's fame scared me. Then the 2nd time I went blind and actually got stuck a few times, which I should have had the first time.

This 2nd half of the dungeon is rather easier, since I've gained so many levels, not to mention all the ultimate equipment from those chests. At the start, I was spamming s-crafts on the chest monsters just to stay alive, now I'm using them to farm CP for the final boss

It's Final Boss time.
