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?

And you said I made a bad example.

My example is valid because it's an item which is obtainable from no enemy which allows you to have guranteed drops by that unit if they get the finishing blow. I'm pretty sure there's at least one other item which give the same effect as the 4-leaf clover.

Except the Hunter and Assassin both top out at 30 GEN. Assassins, the primary users of Bloody Claw, top with 40 TEC. 40 TEC is definitely larger than 30 GEN, equalling a Head Kill. Do not bring up MVP.

Items can be equipped which can bring GEN up to 40. Although I think that'd still equal a Head Kill. Have to check on that. Also, I didn't actually specify that I'd put Etherion onto a Hunter / Assassin since it was only a theory that popped into my head.

During which time you'll be fighting units that have an advantage over you, most likely killing you faster than you can truly recharge.

As I said, I haven't tried this myself but a unit with full ATK and TEC should prevail in this situation.

Of that time, what will your main force be doing? Waiting for Milanor? Because if they're too close, Emelone won't wait. Or, rather, her minions won't wait. If they're too far, why is Milanor fighting alone?

One my first complete playthrough, my main force, consisting of Nietzsche and Durant would be taking out Emelone's forces whilst Milanor is waiting for Mizer. Yggdra isn't used because she doesn't stand a chance against undines, period. You might get lucky and win a battle or two, but it's worth the amount of MOV wasted to get her to that side of the map. Milanor is fighting alone because he is there to steal the boots and because it was night time when Mizer came, Milanor could handle him even on the receiving end of an uncounterable initiating attack. Because I used Steal on the same turn Mizer had appeared, Nietzsche and Durant had already taken out the entire army minus Emelone. By the time Milanor reached Emelone, she had about half morale left and I stormed her with all three and gave me the +2 MVP Bonus and since Milanor got the finishing blow, the item also dropped as well.
