The Cute Chocobo > Old Man
« on: March 11, 2008, 08:30:33 AM »
I just felt like keeping this lighthearted a little, but this is worth pointing out.

The Octomammoth battle is pretty straight forward as you don't have that many choices to go on..

But did you know that cute Chocobo is stronger than whatever Tellah has as an option? For 2 MP more, it might just be w0rth it.

Lit1 has a base spell power of 16.

Chocobo has a base spell power of 40.

Octomammoth has a magic defense of 25.

Tellah has a natural spell mutliplier of 5 (16 Wisdom / 4 + 1), Rydia at level 12 has the same amount.

Since lightning is effective against Octomammoth... this means...

16 (spell power) * 2 (weakness) * 1 (worst case scenario) - 25 = 7 * 5 = 35
16 (spell power) * 2 (weakness) * 1.5 (best case scenario) - 25 = 23 * 5 = 115

40 (spell power) * 1 (worst case scenario) - 25 = 15 * 5 = 75
40 (spell power) * 1.5 (best case scenario) - 25 = 35 * 5 = 175

Even if Rydia has at least 12 Wisdom, she would still do a damage range of 60 to 140...

Rydia having approximately 8 Wisdom (pretty much what she has at level 1) would do damage of 40 to 105.

In conclusion, Cute Chocobo > Old Man.

Yep, despite his weakness to lightning, Lit-1 is the weaksauce vs. Octomammoth.  Chocobo is better, but of course the lion's share of the damage in that battle comes from Cecil's fast-hitting dark blade.

Yes, but that wasn't the point. Cuteness kills!  :laugh:

Well, there's also a logical factor behind it. I'd be scared shitless if a 7-year old was summoning monsters to fight me, as no little child can normally do that. On the other hand, if there's an old man using magic against me, he's probably spent his entire life studying and learning it. So, there's an added :wtf: factor for Rydia. :happy:
