So, I've been playing a bit TOO much of Brave Frontier. No, seriously. I'm doing the Galant dungeon again ONLY for Vargas. I already have a God Arm Galant (Guardian, level 23, BB level 6). And I got Aisha from Rare Summon earlier. She's awesome, though I only got her three-star version. Now, I got some screenshots that I WILL comment on because, let's face it, I comment on myself a LOT when I'm playing the game. There may be more in the future.
First of all, Frontier Hunter. Now, I personally LOVE this mode to bits. My usual party to challenge it consists of: Malnaplis, Thunder King Eze, War Captain Mega, World Tree Altro, and Holy Knight Atro. They make it to the final stage. Usually.
Then, these matches come up.
Okay, WHAT?! These both were from the THIRD battles of Frontier Hunter Middle, if I recall correctly. They were usually NYMPHS or SPIRITS, for crying out loud! I never reached Battle 4 after the Winged Mimics totally massacred my team, and I was quickly taken down in Battle 4 after fighting Demon Abaddon. Well, at least Sky King Falma and World Tree Altro put up a fight against...who was it? Oh right. NEMIA AND STYA. In Frontier Hunter, they're HORRIBLE.
But this isn't the worst...
Okay. THAT'S worse. This is the FOURTH battle, for crying out loud! These Idols LOVE to spam their AOEs. As you can see, they have massacred most of my team, even my Altro, who has INSANE defenses. Ran out of Full Revives here, and also the Divine Lights. I just...ARGH. Challenge Finished! Cue cursing at stupid luck. Couple that with my sometimes unresponsive iPhone touch screen, which leads to a LOT of cursing, usually leading to rage-induced 'YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BRAVE BURST GODDAMIT' rants.
This is the reason why I hate Nemia and Stya in Frontier Hunter. I always die against them. I mean, just...LOOK. They enjoy spamming their Brave Bursts at the EXACT SAME TIME. They Spark my Eze and outright KILL him. And they evolved! The other possible event units on this mode, Zeln and Galant or Alma and Oboro, weren't evolved, for crying out loud! They were FAR more manageable! At least, until Zeln keeps on kicking Mega. Then it's time to waste Elixirs.
Then...some things totally unexpected appear as enemies.
Okay, what? They're just freebies. Sure, they take a HELL of a long time to kill, but they drop LOADS of Esteem Points. My new high score is thanks to them, and the fact that the last fight was against the Atro, Lance, and Vargas team. Speaking of the fifth battles...
LOL. Awkward much? Nature God vs Vine Pike, a Holy Knight mirror match, and Thunder King + Thunder God vs Thunder King? Yeah, these fights got a LOT awkward. I won, though... Funny thing is, every time I choose someone with Nature God Lance as a reinforcement, the first screenshot plays. Whenever I choose someone with Thunder God Eze as a reinforcement, the second screenshot plays. Just my luck!
RIGHT! Enough with Frontier Hunter. Now...the bane of my existence...low drop rates, annoying RNG, and horrible luck all come together for...
Two separate occasions that I managed to capture Vargas on-screen out of the ten times I encountered him. None of which I managed to obtain him. Personally, I am annoyed at my own luck. And the RNG. It's always the RNG... The RNG made me waste freaking Ultra Balls, Timer Balls, Great Balls, and many other types of Pokeballs, only to capture Terrakion, Virizion, and Coballion with POKEBALLS?! A regular, run-of-the-mill, red-and-white POKEBALL?! Yeah, my cousin was shocked at my random, annoyed outburst.
If I don't get Vargas by the end of the Galant dungeon period, I am going to try my luck with Magress and Lance from Oboro's and Nemia's dungeons, respectively. After bashing my head on a table and cursing my luck repeatedly.
This...I have nothing to say. SCREW YOU, NATURE GOD LANCE. You could've died during the earlier assault, saving BOTH of our times as you WILL get beaten by the group of Fire units (plus Mega). This was Elios Plains in Palmyna, quest name is The Gallant Earth God. Happens to be the final boss of the area, too.
I was acting this scenario out in my head with the units.
Fire God Vargas: Alright, just a bit more!
(Everyone attacks)
Nature God Lance: (still standing with the small bit of HP left) Lolwut? XD
War Captain Mega: WHAT THE (censored)?!?!?! (Well, he IS a pirate. I assume he curses at least a BIT.)
Fire God Vargas: Dude. Not funny.
Fire Knight Lava: (eyetwitch)
God Arm Galant: It was...just a bit...more...
Hot Chef Lancia: Uh...
Head Thief Leon: NO MERCY!!!! HERE'S OUR CHANCE FOR AN ALL-OUT ATTACK!!!
Everyone else: Dude, you play too much Persona.
Fire God Vargas: Let's just end this.
Nature God Lance: (gulps) Well, crap.
(Lance is defeated)
LOL.
Well, that's all the screenshots I have for now, folks! Oh, and you don't need a five-star team for Maxwell. These are all four-stars that are adequately levelled! They're mostly at the 30-s range of levels, except for Aem (level MAX, and was the only viable choice at that time, Shida would've died too quickly), Lidith (level 27), and Altro (level 27, if I wasn't mistaken).
One of the greatest games all the time within old-school RPGs I played such as Final Fantasy serials or Dranon Quest and others. Playing it all the time :)
ReplyDeleteThese screenshots are very inspiring. Thanks for a good share! :)

Brave Frontier is actually one of the most addicting games I've ever played as well. The only games I remember being this addicted to are the Pokemon, Megami Tensei, Final Fantasy, and Dragon Quest series. I play it at any chance I get...
DeleteThank you for the compliment! I honestly wasn't expecting any of the screenshots I posted to be inspiring, as I put most of them in a funny way...but really! Thank you for the compliment!
You welcome mate :)
DeleteYeah Pokemon too! How I forgot that one. It was very addictive one.
I didn't try Megami Tensei, but no doubt it's good.
Regards and have a great day! :)
