Final Fantasy Tactics: Balthier's Poison Crossbow Barrage / Mustadio/Zalmour Zodiac Compatibility
In the War of the lions remake, Balthier is the most broken character in the game. he has a lot of monk skills, superhuman speed, excellent equipment to take that further, and that barrage I learned takes even a wimpy poison crossbow to do decent guaranteed damage (attack boost and bracer can boost but it's unnecessary as you can simply use a stronger weapon to kill someone) and risk poisoning someone by low chance (unfortunately all 4 shots will usually not poison). It stacks with extra turns let alone Excalibur haste.
That bit at the end with Mustadio doing a ton of damage was due to zodiac compatibility with Zalmour (who I took the long way to defeat as Delita's AI is stupid, as I showed him moving away, and Agrias doing stasis sword that ignores the height Zalmo is at which would own him turn 1.
Mustadio is a Pisces with the Ras Algethi gun (Giving Balthier's equipment away helps everyone unlike Orlandeau who needs knight swords to do big damage, and his sword skills) doing 144 fixed damage with neutral compatibility, but 216 damage to Zalmour (Zalmo in original) who is a Sagittarius. However, the game says they're neutral as male Pisces does best with female Aries,and good with gemini/Aquarius so I have no explanation for that surge in attack.
Chapter 4 is a poorly made sandbox with broken equipment. There are charts and guides if you want to delve but I don't think it's worth it for just a bit more accuracy/damage.
