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?

[Dr Strum]

There's always items which give guranteed item drops.

Which you probably have to steal or have LUK to get. :X

That can be said for any unit. Getting criticaled usually means it's over unless your stats are a lot higher than the enemy.

But you speak as though Sanctuary is the end-all saviour.

I always get the hunter though, not sure about the other people but I've always gotten the optional characters whether I use them or not.

I skipped him. Just another mouth to feed.

End game however, the aggression starting gauge was at around 53% using Milanor of course.

I was lucky to get that at any point in the game.

In the first desert level, you don't have to walk over the desert at all. There's a complete path from start to the goal.

No, there actually isn't. And, besides, you miss the bath scene if you just go to the end.

The other times he showed up were relatively close to the action.

But there are circumstances in the others. EG, in BF8, I have Milanor sitting on a house blocking it from the Golems, so he couldn't steal from any of the enemies. BF9, he got trapped away from the enemies.

in BF07 you'd still have Milanor's initial equip and coincidentally, items dropped when he dealt the finishing blow, regardless of the LUK of the enemy.

But Milanor might not be able to get there, remember. And he didn't, in my game.

And I thought BF35 had those stacks of invincible knights.

I meant BF32. Everyone always has trouble with BF35, but I had the most issues with BF32, so I mix them up.

This frees up Steal to be used for when Gulcasa and "Aegina" storms in.

But remember, you can't kill in the second part of the battle, they have protect. So that only works with the third part, and what if the person with that equipped dies before then?

Since those two are going to stick together in the same union,

No.

Aegina avoids Gulcasa like all hell until the Imperial Knights have been killed, and still then she has some peculiar behavior...

BF45 spoiler

Items are incrementel, as I pointed out. You can get two different items in BF44 from the same person, but miss either of them, or miss an earlier item, and you won't get the last item from him in BF45.
