very intersting
I had Luka use a sword until now because of his Custom Sword .. was thinking that maybe it will grow into a really powerful weapon
So I focused on Swordmaster/Powerfighter etc. pretty much every pure meele class
Was about to change him into Paladin/Temple Knight and have him deal Holy Damage besides Alice Dark skills because he doesn't deal as much as the others
maybe that's one of my main problems, that I try a lot of classes in hope to get good skills or passives that I won't need/use anyway
even with his heroism aoe skills he is hitting the enemy with around 8-18k .. and his multi hitter only deal around 2-5k each .. while Alice Dark skills hit with 11k and can crit with 30k+
that's probably why I gave up on him in my first run .. never tried Spears though
or maybe it is just really easy to boost magic stat but I don't get his atk stat high enough
That's what I meant above .. the most taxing part of the game is the race/job system .. I'm bad at sticking to one composition and try a lot of stuff
guess I'll make Luka a Holy damage dealer with spear skills in my next run? but Holy use Dex or Will and Spear use Att or Agi .. at least the ones I know right now
I'm really, really bad at figuring out what I want, with that much possible combinations
And Superstar with Dancing and Singing skills is just a really good supporter
Hustle Dance is pretty much a heal that is always going first so even when your team is low you can heal them before additional damage comes in, she can double xp, and give +50% offense, +50%defense, +50% elemental dmg (excluding bio and sonic) and give bonus regen to life, mp and sp .. I use a lowly Apoptosis for it because they are almost immpossible to stun/bind etc.
and for Ninja, at least mine is dealing ok-ish damage right now, but you are right that they have almost no scaling .. the damage she is dealing now is not much more than she did 15 level ago
but to level up a new character so late in the game ... I guess I would just switch her with some of the Story chars like the Grangold King..
That being said, the part about Ilias changing in her story is rather interesting
I should really stick with her for a whole playthrough I guess
don't know the whole story yet .. but if it's true that she has a lot going on at the end of part 2 .. I hope Alice will get her fair share in Part 3 to compensate
I just really want to have my first time playing part3 with Alice to be as close to the original History as possible
but seeing everything from Ilias perspective will be intersting as well .. well .. I probably still have month to prepare my 2 files
and even if they release part3 this year .. it will sadly take a few month more for a proper translation considering that the third part is going to be as big as 1 and 2 combined
for me the main reason to play with Alice - not counting that she is obiously the right choice if we are going for a close history run - will be the interaction between her and Nero+Neris
I can't wait to *chrm* play around with Neris in part 3 .. will make space in my team comp for her for sure
About Alma Elma .. can I also recruit her in Ilias Story?
I think I remember that I can recruit the 4 Knights only in Alice and the Angels only in Ilias story .. which makes perfect sense
That's a lewdown for me because as you said, she is definitly the best monster in the game .. and I don't mean her damage .. but Neris is giving her a run for her sem-.. money
it also feels like Neris and Nero could be exclusive to Alice story too ... or maybe they are for both path because they are more interested in Luka than his companion
either way, I'm rambling too much and I hate myself for never being able to write a quick reply and always dragging on and on
thanks again for the info, Mister Unsaid - it will come in handy in my Ilias playthrough
since I can get the Angels only in her story it would be a waste not to use them

I think having a character that can heal and support your party with that much immunity has no downsides beside not dealing any damage
but tbh that may only be useful in higher difficulties .. the only thing I don't lke is that her unique ability has no use at all with that job .. maybe Jehlaila (the harp) would be a better choice for this...
