Honestly just focus on the enemies' weakness/strengths and what the type of enemy is (humanoid, winged, crustacean etc.). Sorry if I sound whiny or am over looking obvious things with the combat but the combat is really frustrating me. I haven't looked forward to a games cutscenes this much in a while.
#Tales of berseria eleanor item drop title how to
Normally I would drop a game like this but as much as the combat has been boring and unsatisfying the story has been great! I really like all the philosophical themes about reason, Eleanor probably meaning a reference to David Hume, Laphicets struggle with learning how to be a person, etc. I've already asked twice on r/tales its been a little helpful but I was hoping someone here might be able to help better. 2 to like 16 and I dont know whats bad and whats good and how I am supposed to learn from that. What kind of grades should I be getting after battles? How does the grading system work? I am getting anywhere from. And should I be running to recover souls or blocking? How do I think about movement in this game? Like a lot of combos drop because I am not using the dash I guess but whats a good way to incorporate that. How to do I set up the AI? A lot of the options just sound very similar and I dont know what they mean. What are each characters strengths? One is particular I'm wondering about is Laphicet: Is he primarily just your healer? Because he does seem to have a good deal of offensive artes but it seems like half the time his AI is just using him to heal. How am I supposed to build longer combos? The only way I know how to extend combos is with Velvet really using her Break Souls but what this does is give enemies back souls so its not an ideal thing to always rely on it seems. I have no idea what it means to proficient at this game and the game doesnt seem to good at explaining things in an intuitive way. For the record I have beaten all the optional bosses up until now and I am playing on hard mode so on paper I guess I'm "not bad" at this game so far but I really am. The most frustrating thing for me is not knowing if I am doing something wrong or if the game is super casual to the point that I shouldn't try to expect more from it. Beyond that I don't think I really know whats going on. I understand that afflicting status ailments and killing enemies gains back souls and you do souls to do special, more powerful artes and also understand that you should build combos that target a combination of the enemies weaknesses while avoiding resistances but thats about it. I'm about 20 hours just past the point where you Eleanor joins the party but I cant say I really know what I am doing. This games combat is really frustrating me.
