But with it, how badly is the enemy weakened and how much are you strengthened?

[Dr Strum]

What do you mean?
Kiss of Death?
It's random, seemingly; sometimes it will put them down by a star, and me up by a star, but sometimes it puts their ATK down to the minimum, and maxes mine.
But that's not all it does, note. I only put up what was said in-game. Kiss of Death does some other things; enemies cannot use skills when it's activated, you can still use the aggression bar, and, with the enemy's reduced ATK, they won't be killing you as fast, so even if you do waste the 7.77 seconds, and your head is killed, you should still have enough members left to finish the enemy off.
Not to mention, it starts off with just under 3000 POW, so it's not exactly the hardest to build up, either, and, since the formula for Morale Damage at the end of a battle factors in card effects like those from Fortune and Kiss of Death, you can end up doing a massive extra chunk for ability difference, especially if it maxes your attack when you use it.

[Ultimaninja]

@_@ it sounds so confusing...I think YU will be very hard playing...

[Dr Strum]

Well, Kiss of Death is probably the most mechanics-heavy card in the game, and it is one of the three missable cards, so you can avoid it if you want.
Although, thinking about it, it's probably not so much that the enemy cannot use skills, but all skills in general are blocked. Afterall, they wouldn't want you using Kiss of Death again and getting infinite time on it. ;o

Dragon Killer and Fortune.
Fortune is very useful for a few characters (such as Nietzsche and Rosary) who have much higher LUK than ATK.
Dragon Killer is very useful, well, against Gulcasa, whom you'll need every advantage against.

Assassin + Sanctuary versus Griffon Rider + Gravity Chaos = fun.

Emilio attacks Elena at noon, while I'm using Sanctuary. Longest union EVER. Just Emilio and Elena, no one else. She use GC about six times, I use Sanctuary 2-3 times for each time she uses it. I can't be injured by GC because I'm invulnerable to dark, and she can only curse me once, so after the first one it's not doing anything but resetting her Rage bar. Then, she can only kill about four of my assasins before I get to 100%, and I have 4 TEC, so I can restore all of the units she's killed. It's a fairly good thing too, since her GC has 7800 power in that level, and I've not been healing my morale for my characters lately, so Elena, Roswell and Russel are all at one.

[ChefMKT]

Haha, yeah, that sounds like great fun.

[Dr Strum]

Not as awesome as the other time though...

[Dr Strum]

I can't play YU anymore today. ;_;

I can't believe Kylier did that... I didn't feel a thing when Ledah died, and when Fia died on my first through, it didn't get to me too much, but when Kylier suicided to take out Eudy and her Ankh Cannon... And half the map... And then when I found Aru's feather... ;_;

[Rhiannon]

Haha. Now you know the pain that I had to go through. :(

[Ultimaninja]

Was it equal to or more then when Aries died?

I think it is more, as I'm tired of everyone complaining about her death...

was it a dramatic death or a short one?

[Dr Strum]

Aries?
I don't remember anybody by that name...

[Greifer]

I believe his referring to Aerith from FFVII.

[Dr Strum]

Oh. I didn't play FF7 until I had my PS2, so I knew all too well about Aeris' death when it finally occurred. Didn't feel much for it.

This is more on the scale of the end of chapter one of FFT.
That sad...
