Character Evaluations

My Party Members

Serge: Serge is the main character of the game, and his innate color is white. You cannot switch him to someone else until New Game+. He is one of the strongest fighters in the game physically and magically.

Glenn: Glenn is absolutely a fantastic character. His innate color is green. He is probably the strongest character in both physical attacks and Tech Skills.

Grobyc: Grobyc is much like Serge, an all-round character. His physical attacks are as powerful as Serge�s while all three of his Tech Skills are also extremely damaging. By the way, his innate color is black. Black and white are the two most powerful colors in the game. It's always a good idea to have a character with innate color of black on your team.

Other Characters

Kid: Kid is a very solid fighter, and her innate color is red. She is one of the three characters who are able to steal from the enemies. Every time I need to use the ability "steal", I usually switch one of my main characters to her.

Guile: Guile is another awesome character, and his innate color is black. His level 7 Tech Skill, LightninRod, could possibly be the second most powerful single Tech after Glenn�s Dive&Drive. However, Grobyc is still overall stronger in terms of a black innate character.

There are a total of 45 characters in the game. I am not going to list all of them. Serge, Glenn, and Grobyc will form the best offensive party for most battles.

Strategies & Secrets

Dario

Fighting Dario is optional. This will probably be the toughest battle in the game. His regular attacks are already devastating enough, but his Tech Skills are even more powerful. One hit is a guarantee kill to any white innate characters. Riddel is mandatory to have in your party for this fight, and she happens to be a white innate character. This is also the main reason that makes the battle tough. If you have stolen the Black Plate from Black Dragon, then things will be much easier. Unfortunately, I did not acquire this item the first time I fought Dario. I will explain my way of defeating Dario without the Black Plate.

Preparation
I suggest your party to be Riddel, Lynx, and Grobyc. Lynx and Grobyc are both black innate characters, which means that Dario�s Tech Skills will not inflict as much damage on them. Equip Lynx and Grobyc with their strongest weapons and armors. Also, give your most powerful Elements and all the healing Elements to Lynx and Grobyc only.

During Battle
Have Riddel use her physical attack to boost her Element Power to 6 and perform her strongest White Element attack (should be UltraNova). This will inflict a huge amount of damage upon Dario. However, Riddel will likely to be killed by Dario afterwards. Don�t worry, Riddel is better off to be dead for now. Don�t even bother reviving her back at this point. You only need two characters to finish the rest of the work. Have Lynx and Grobyc keep attacking and healing. Don�t be afraid to use any of their Tech Skills or strong Black Elements. They won�t heal Dario. When Dario is almost to be knocked out, revive Riddel back if you wish.
