He's also useful in the dungeon area that shows up weakness wise too. The also do this with Junpei in reverse, in the story when Mitsuru becomes a party member, fire-weak enemies become rarer and that lines up with his insecurities if being overshadowed and weak, until Chidori powers him up, after which he gets over it and becomes extremely relevant to weaknesses. The progression of the gameplay syncing with character development feels pretty unique tbh

@@bloodyidit4506 I think it's less deep than that lol. When you get a new party member enemies with said weaknesses show up. I highly doubt fire-weak enemies not showing up has anything to do with Junpei and moreso that Mitsuru showing up means that that block is now filled with Ice-weak enemies.

Also Ken is kind of mid at both of those things tbh, when I ran the game he did more damage than Yukari but other than that he was the second or lowest damage out of all potential party members, Junpei, Yukari and Koromaru ended up being my team because Koromaru using Revolution turned Junpei and the MC into crit machines, Yukari just ended up being a heal bot who used her theurgy to buff spells if something was immune to physical, or to cleanse statuses.

@notanerd6838 4 ай бұрын

@@DamnDaimen Rebellion, not revolution - huge difference because revolution is for the entire party and enemies. It's still a self cast that you have to waste a turn for. If you run koromaru (which you should since he's clearly top 3 best party members due to revolution), him using revolution just makes bloody charge a worse charge seeing as how it takes 40% of your hp, but even if you don't realistically Bloody Charge is still less powerful than victory cry which is honestly the true winner from how much value you get from it - but even after that if you pull the "victory cry doesn't help against the final boss, reaper or elizabeth" then debilitate would be the biggest winner by a mile. General use bloody charge is overkill, I pretty much one cycled all the enemies throughout the game, but I wasn't playing on merciless - if I was Bloody charge would have been suicide. Now this isn't to say it isn't a great move, it's just not the best, most fun buff move would be a completely different argument though since it clearly wins that department.
