Re: [RJ162946]Thug Hero Party
It just makes the game harder which is stupid in this game. The game already pushes your character into a loosing scenario being the weakest loser in the world no matter how hard he tries. The problem with this plot is that you are way weaker than the non-ryujin thugs you fight unless you op yourself. Even after you become a ryujin (wicked king btw who is supposed to be strong enough for the others to team up against) you are still weak compared to that blond loser. Even worse, your love interest is even stronger than that loser, when you fight her after you kill that bum, opening a HUGE plot hole as to why any of this happened in the first place if she could just beat him...
Anyway, all that just means that while this is a great game it suffers from terrible balancing so play it under easy so the difficulty level doesn't wreck the plot too much.
Its explained why she is more powerful when you fight her. In the true final chapter, the Lightning Dragon will tell you that she gave Lotia more power after Lotia became blondie's woman, as she WANTS Lotia to be blondie's woman.
Lotia stats are weaker than Blondie's, this is much more apparent if you fight blondie without the super-mode. Blondie has MUCH more HP and hits MUCH harder with most of his attacks. HOWEVER, Lotia is more dangerous cuz her special attack hits the entire party AND paralyze. If you're wearing the dark armor, her attacks does double damage but you can survive it if you're not wearing that armor.
I've unlocked all endings and she is much harder to beat than blondie! I never had any problems beating him but if you fight her afterwards she's much harder. It's basically game over if you don't bring the clone.
Its actually possible to bring her to 1 HP without the clone, as you can survive her special with enough level and not wearing the dark armor. Its hard as fuck though. However, the clone is needed for plot purposes, as it is the clone who kills her because Imos can't bring himself to. His unwillingness to fight and kill her is probably also why she's invincible without the clone, leading to her frying his ass.
