A Question about Durant, See inside for info! Options

[Yuka]

I'm not too fond of using Durant for some bizarre reason, but does he become essential later in the game?

1) Really? I didn't know that! D:

How could you not...? You fought, and beat, Gulcasa, didn't you...?

3) Since the stat gained for being MVP is independant of the character's level, I consider +1 and +2 stat gained for being MVP as bonuses. I should have been more clear about that and not said MVP bonuses.

But it's a misnomer. You always get a stat upped for the MVP. The MVP Bonus is the extra bit you get when you beat the level in a certain amount of turns.

4) MVP stat bonuses are little, but so are stat gains from level ups. Combining both MVP and stat gains can be the difference of getting that next big star.

Little stars are still counted, you know. Not toward skills, but they do make a difference.

5) Yes, the items are damn useful but some of the items have an effect which I probably won't be aware of since I can't read the text. The only indication I have is the circle, dash, and cross. That is enough but I'd still like to know what the actual effect is. An example is the feathered sandles stolen from Mizer. It took me a few battles to figure out that it gives the unit 0% terrain bonus.

Well, a little hint.
O = "Good" effect. It could actually be bad, however, based on the situation.
- = Neutral effect. I don't really remember any items with this.
X = BAD. Usually. It can be good, depending on the situation, but in most cases it's bad. I think the items you get from Pamela (you should know their effects) have this.
The thing is, the items you get in the end game are almost all fucking good. I remember one item I got late in, for Elena or Milanor, I think, that continued to charge my aggression at all times. Even when in Aggressive mode. Albeit slow, but it did.

Those two cards are definitely broken, but once they're used, you'd have to wait until the next map or when the cards are replenished for the next phase of the battlefield but it's definitely better than getting slaughtered by the opposition though and gives the units involved some experience for it.

Yes, but you can use them as many as seventeen times (in theory, though I don't know if there's a practical moment for it) without have to wait for the "reshuffle" time.
