Octopath COTC Should you REALLY skip Osvald? Mopping the floor with EX3 bosses
30Looks to me that most players are massively underestimating Osvald's damage potential. NOT F2P. Team and loadout at the end of each fight.
If you have Signa and Isla (bonus: U10 Cyrus and Primrose EX) you should consider picking up Osvald for ridiculous amounts of damage.
With Cyrus and Lemaire, a team with Osvald can hit 2+1+1 on each weakness + 3 follow up hits. That's 7 hits per weakness. Even if the boss is weak to only one of ice, lightning or fire, since off weakness hits for 1/2 dmg, that's still equivalent to 14 hits in terms of potency (7 on weakness, 14 off), with the added bonus that they won't reach damage cap limitations. We know quite well at this point that number of hits matters, and not much trumps 7 full hits + 14 half hits at the moment (if the boss is weak to 2 among fire lightning and ice it's not even a contest).
This setup also allows using both Artifacts for 100k dmg cap up on Cyrus and Osvald. Sadly I don't have Lemaire on GEP.
