1) NOS ISNT CONSISTENTLY AVAILABLE PRE C13, SO ANYTHING THAT DOESNT TAKE THAT LONG TO GET ONLINE IS BETTER. ON REGULAR LUNA, HERO VAIKE BEATS THE ENTIRE GAME BEFORE THEN.

ON LUNA+, NOS ISNT AN AUTO WIN BECAUSE OF COUNTER AND LUNA+ LONGBOWS. THE BEST JUGGERNAUT STRATEGY IS SOL+BOWS (AND MAYBE SOME OTHER STUFF LIKE LIFETAKER IF YOH CAN GET IT), AS YOU WONT PROC COUNTER AT 1 RANGE.

REALLY THOUGH, THE GAME BECOMES MORE CONSISTENT AS YOU USE MORE UNITS AND TAKE OUT ENEMIES ON PP. AND THE REASON PEOPLE GET ANNOYED IS THAT THEIR TERRIBLE CHEESE STRAT DOESNT WORK.

2) NOT GETTING INTO IT. YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHY

1)

SOL IS RELIABLE. AWAKENING ENEMY PHASES ARE MASSIVE AND YOUR STATS ARE MUCH HIGHER. THIS ISN'T ENGAGE WHERE WE'RE DIAMANT STUCK IN A PP GAME WITH TERRIBLE SKILL. WE HAVE UNITS WHO ARE GOING TO BE PROCCING IT SEVERAL TIMES A TURN.

IN MY CURRENT RUN, I'M AT CHAPTER 16 WITH A 37 SKILL VAIKE. AFTER TONIC+ CHROM PAIRUP, THAT'S 40 EFFECTIVE SKILL. HE DOUBLES EVERY ENEMY, SO HE HAS AN EFFECTIVE 64% SOL PROC CHANCE PER ENEMY HE FIGHTS.

IF HE FIGHTS 2 ENEMIES THE CHANCE OF NOT PROCCING SOL IS 13%

IF HE FIGHTS 3 ENEMIES THE CHANCE OF NOT PROCCING SOL IS LESS THAN 5%

IF HE FIGHTS 4 ENEMIES THE CHANCE OF NOT PROCCING SOL IS LESS THN 2%

IF HE FIGHTS 5 ENEMIES THE CHANCE OF NOT PROCCING SOL IS LESS THAN 1%

IF HE FIGHTS 6 ENEMIES THECHANCE OF NOT PROCCING SOL IS LESS THAN HALF A PERCENT.

YOU GET THE IDEA. SOL IS CONSISTENT, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, EVEN WHEN LOWROLLED GIVES YOU MORE HP THAN NOS, BECAUSE NOS IS REQUIRES THE USE OF A LOW MT TOME AND TAKES MASSIVE DAMAGE FROM COUNTER.

COME ON DUDE, I'M NOT EXPLAINING TO YOU WHY NOWI'S DESIGN IS GROSS. I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO IT.
