Holy shit this fuckin game is so busted So you can really just raise or lower Brave or Faith permanently... I did not know Brave directly determines react%, that explains a lot and I hate it to death. Also fuck Hamedo seriously.

(Note that some monster attacks don't trigger Blade Grasp.)

Okay they so ruined Counter (as well as any other react ability in the game) in FFT. In Tactics Ogre all units do melee counter attacks 100% of the time, that's it. Now not only is there a % chance to attack, but it only triggers on SOME ABILITIES. I thought Counter Magic was gonna be busted but it only seems to work at all on black magic. Disgusting

as long as you have at least 1 MP, ALL of the damage is converted to MP damage, so you can pair it with Move MP Up to completely block the next damage you would take after every one of your turns, even from sources that there are otherwise few ways to mitigate,

That takes a lot of ability slots but could be interesting, if you're sick of actually playing battles.

You can also grind Faith down on your physical units to greatly reduce damage from enemy spellcasters, if you don't care about being able to target your own unit with magic buffs.

Same to this, I haaaaate how brave and faith work in this game. I already have my white mage throwing phoenix downs too because Raise rate is piss poor on some units due to zodiac alignment or smth.

Use a mediator to recruit a pig type monster,

I was wondering if this game had recruitment, I hate how grabby the later Yasumi Matsuno games get with recruiting. In Tactics Ogre only your leader can do it, in this it's class specific?? and in Wheel of Fortune it becomes Abilities you have to buy... Why are these games alwaya turning into micromanagement clusterfucks?
