168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Ocean: The Divine Force provides plenty of opportunities to customize your party, and in several ways, at that. Knowing where to spend hard-earned SP can be difficult. You gain a fair amount per level, and sometimes through other means, but boy, does it take a lot to cross the skill tree, not to mention the increasing cost hike in st🥀rengthening skills.

For some, it's easier to ignore the chance to raise the power of your skills, entirely. We don't recommend that. You'll be missing out on some spectacular tools if you leave them all at their default magnitude. Check this out.

Consider Those Passive Contributions

Passive (and Active) skills are often your best bet in terms of what skills to raise. Every character has something great to offer in this regard. Right from the jump, Albaird's 'Rainy Day Fund' and Laeticia's 'Determined Princess' are among the very best skills in the game, and they only improve with time.

Well, Laeticia's self-inflicted defense-lowering gets worse, but the point of the skill is to boost your experience point gain to a ridiculous amount, and it's highly successful therein.

Of course, you can level Passive and Active skills to your heart's content, but if they don't fit your present strategy, they're best left disabled. Going back to 'Determined Princess', if you get the sense a boss battle is right around the corner, do you really want Laeticia's already-average defensive capabilities to be diminished to a deadly degree?

There are also character-specific instances of party-wide learnable skills to consider. For instance, Nina, like everyone else, can learn 'Auto Healing'. 'Auto Healing' is, essentially, like a Final Fantasy 'Regen' spell; it gradually restores your health throughout a battle. This is especially critical f💮or Nina, because she seems to prioritize healing everybody else to her own detriment.

We're big fans of Elena's 'S & A' Passive skill. Absorbing an enemy's buffs is cool enough, but simultaneously scanning them, in a game where scanning options are quite limited, makes this a must-have. Strengthening it to improve the buff absorption odds isn't a bad idea at all.

Give Every Combat Skill A Fighting Chance

Combat skills are tougher to recommend. Not because they aren't useful. Combat skills aren't just useful; they're the very foundation upon which fighting in Star Ocean: The Divine Force is built upon. It's more that, to a point, the effectiveness of each comes down to personal taste in tactics.

Now, that doesn't hold true across the board. Broadly put, the combat skills you unlock much further into the skill tree are of a high enough innate caliber to warrant strengthening. But while that's true, it doesn't change the fact that, for a bulk of your adventure, you won't have them. (Well, not unless you beeline for them at the cost of other important grabs.)

For that reason, we do have some measure of suggestion on which combat skills to level up. If you find something that works especially well for a finisher, like Raymond's 'Cruel Buster', upping its power can be a major boon. With your combo chain ♚having reached its completion, the added effect of aimin☂g to knock the foe into a wall, or a fall, can down harsh foes at higher levels.

Furthermore, it's good to focus on openers as well. Some enemies are particularly aggressive, making it harder to complete a combo chain. Getting something quick in like, again using Ray's early-game as an example, 'Bell Ringer', helps to ensure you've done decent damage before needing to evade or pull away to save him from a raging tornado or muscular fist.

Tap Into Innate Talent With Item Creation

Item creation works differently, in that it levels on its own through usage and success. The cool thing about this, however, is that you'll periodically earn SP from leveling, which you can then use in a myriad of ways, including... well, everything we've written above.

Don't go against the grain in Star Ocean: The Divine Force. Consider what your characters are already good at, and go from there. Midas has the talent to become a prolific author, so once you've unlocked the appropriate category from Welch, make him your leading scholar. Unless you really want to maximize everyone, there's not much sense in trying for the same thing with, say, heart-on-his-sleeve Raymond.
