QUESTIONS ABOUT THE GAME WILL BE ANSWERED IN VIDEO DESCRIPTIONS


"SO WHO SHOULD I TAKE IN THE END?"
All of the characters have something good about them, so it's entirely up to you. I will be using a personal preferred team by the end of this, but I wanna give everyone a fair go.
- Pogo is a fucking tank and can not only deliver damage, but also take it like a boss.
- The Xin Shan Quan Inheritor is a great medium-range attacker, but all except Sammo are terrible at taking hits. So the skilled but weak character. Xuan Ya Lian Shan Quan however is VERY useful and requires no charge time.

- Oboro is actually really good in this chapter, he has a lot of long-range moves, and has more health than Sundown, but has just about the same defence.
- Sundown is a no-nonsense straight-up shooter who can take down a lot of good enemies and learn new techniques to fight multiple enemies, but again his health is shit. Hurricane Shot however is awesome.

- Masaru is...frankly quite terrible at the beginning, he has the lowest attack compared to the other characters and the lowest level starting too, but he has a lot of health to make up for it and a good variety of moves, especially Tsuda.
- Akira...probably the least useful character overall, due to the specialisation of his techniques. He CAN however be able to heal, but only one ally at a time.

- Cube is your best healer, and while his attacks may be rather lacking unless you gave him the part accessories from Akira, his High Speed Op is a lifesaver AND works as a counter.

Personally, I went with a mixed team of Sundown, Yuan, Masaru and Cube. Sundown has Hurricane Shot, Yuan has Xuan Ya Lian Shan Quan, Cube has his healing and Masaru has Tsuda.
Not the strongest team but I feel they're the most passionate we have, next to Pogo but that'd make things too easy.
Also, MAKE SURE THAT EACH OF YOUR CHOSEN PARTY HAS ONE ITEM EACH OF THE ARIEL ARMOR SET. Trust me, you do NOT want to forget that.

"AW MAN THIS IS IT?! WAIT, HE HAS A FACE HOLY SHIT WHAT-"
Yes this is it. Odio has two phases like all good final bosses do. The first phase is his face, composing of two eyes, a mouth and the main mole.
Do NOT attack the mole since it will only counter-heal each time, go for the eyes and mouth one by one. The way my characters are now I can have them hitting him on all fronts.

"OH SHIT HERE HE COMES!"
Say hello to PURE ODIO. I...forgot how difficult this guy was because holy fuck he just murdered the shit out of Sundown in this battle and I did NOT want to lose him again.
Use everything you got on him, no holding back, all your attacks and all of your damn items. Odio will not hold back to give you any chances.

Firstly, you want an ally that can lower his stats, such as Tsuda. When it hits, it cripples his speed which gives me a small breather to hit back or heal.
Secondly, DO NOT group people together unless you have a strong healer beside them. Cube is perfect for this because Saint Alicia is a fucking EVIL attack to deal with.

Follow these basic rules and it should all go well. Once the battle is over, you have one last choice to deal with.

"WAIT, THAT'S IT?! THAT'S THE ENDING!?!?!!?"
Yep, that's the lame-ass "good" ending if you chose to kill Oersted right there and then. Even after all that you still didn't learn mercy, did you?
Don't worry, that's not the real ending. The TRUE ending is much much better.
