Tower 6: This might've been a very situational occurrence, but with 4 Easg Saints focus firing me I got hit 12 times before taking my turn. There's a possibility that having a party with a lot of turn delay (like 1, maybe 2, having turn delay builds and the remaining attackers having turn delay passives. Or, alternatively, the whole team is turn delay, defense and damage over time) is rather game breaking. Then again, with how troublesome that is to set up, it might just act like a reward for all the effort it took. I found a Fiery Ogre with Pyre Rite. I linked with him, giving Pyre Rite to Ruhin and Oppressor to Headless. I encounter Ludoc and kill him after some annoyance. I link with his Carbuncle to copy Mindreader to Dipsas, replacing Cleanse. I encounter a Dark/Something Orb of Power Wraith named Aza. I didn't feel like dealing with several Vigor Syphon sources in a fight like this, so I just ran.
Tower 7: Some Stymphalideses give me trouble. I find and link with an Arachne, giving Dipsas Mending. I also give it Fiery Claw, deleting it's exhaustion abilities. I find Lucky Dodge and replace Shocking Touch with it.
Tower 8: Headless' AI acted up again. I got a save, but it was after he started acting normal again, so I'm not sure if it will help. Also, this time the enemies were outside of Headless' line of sight, although they were still in mine. After a few fights I find Miodchaoin. By the time I thought to see if recruiting him could help me, he already had 10 HP left. So I killed him. Seeing how his Ogres had Direct attacks and Fire resistance, it would probably be too much trouble anyway. Tried to link with a pair of Angels I found for their Protect, Succeeded on the second one.
Turdak's Sanctum: Headless looses most of his MaxHP to a group of Akatekos I foolishly summoned him against. Later, I find Turdak. I link with him, then almost fail the link to Ruhin using Pink Whisper, causing Turdak to Leap Attack his Acheris. I had to use 2 Meteor Glyphs. I'm guessing it would be hard to make AI take those kinds of situations into account. Might be nice to have a “don't Charm/Panic this” option in Commands. I replace Headless, giving Turdak Swiftness, Bloodthirst and Leadership, replacing Leap Attack because I don't won't him to rush ahead of the group. Also, Dipsas gets Daring Cut instead of Swiftness. The remaining group was a bunch of Akateko, who didn't give me too much trouble. There was an encounter corpse remaining, but checking it had a chance of cutting me off from the portal, so I didn't take it.
Tower 9: The fights were mostly uneventful. I found Anzu, but his Light weakness would be inconvenient, so I killed him. His Demas, on other hand, didn't cause any weakness problems. Stat wise, it looks like it could potentially become a Magic based tank. I replaced Aithir, giving Fotia Light Dart and Slow so that I can keep them. I also give Demas Bask and Fiery Veil, but doing so immediately proved to be a mistake, seeing how I didn't have enough credits to fuse a Holy Fotia afterwards. There was a pair of encounter corpses, but both of them were just demon groups.
This run is about to get difficult again. The next step in improving this team would probably be getting a new healer, although Fotia and Ruhin are also falling behind in levels. I will also have to develop Demas. And now I have more abilities to copy to myself. I used to disregard Fire Starter before, but after encountering a few demon group with Fire resistance, I'm considering picking it up to at least reliably Ignite them.
I noticed that ability description that mention last action being a damaging ability also include harmful non-damaging abilities. Seeing how link descriptions do differentiate between the two, it could be a little misleading.
Is Warmth considered to be natural regeneration for effects like Melt and Bright Blood? Because the description doesn't make it clear.
