Swaine doesn’t have good magical moves and he runs mostly brawler familiars, so he can’t use the magic glims. No one wants to be that guy, but Esther keeps dying so she can’t use the the health glims. I also have a merit badge reward that automatically collects all unused glims at the end of battle, basically making me the douchey co-op partner who grabs all of the health pickups and good loot at the end of every battle. As a result, I tend to run around, collecting them all even if I don’t really need them. They’re not overly aggressive about it, but many the time have I been on my way towards a health boost just to have another familiar step in front of me and collect it. The problem is that the AI is also going after these glims. During battle, you can freely run around the battlefield - something that took me some time to get used to - so it’s easy to collect glims and keep yourself topped up. Sometimes you get them while hitting a monster, and sometimes you get them using a well timed evade or defend. Glims are health and mana orbs, unleashed by giving your enemies a proper thrashing. The usual menu of sandwiches and caffeinated beverages is available to give you a pick-me-up in battle, but sometimes the difference between winning and losing is the glims. Managing the health and mana of three different characters can get hectic, especially during larger boss battles. Those come from Oliver, Esther, and Swain. Maybe next time use one of those healing tears on yourself.Īfter the jump, glims make all the difference.įamiliars may have plenty of different attack options, but what they don’t have are their own health and mana bars. After that, it’s a bit of controlled chaos as familiars attack monsters, monsters attack familiars, and Esther undoubtedly goes down. I say mostly because there’s a moment at the beginning of each battle when the game pauses to let you choose your first target. >Wizard's Companion.Brandon Cackowski-Schnell, August 30, 2013īattles in Ni No Kuni are mostly real time.

>Free Draggle familiar DLC releasing February 12th We're about to hit Bump Limit so whoever wants to make the new thread here are the USEFUL LINKS: There will probably be one since the game sold a lot of copys in US and Europe and Namco/Level5 said the customers decide the future of the game (as always) I wish every familiar in the game had the same growth rate Then i got a Hoo-ray, evolved it to Hip Hoo-ray and it slapped everyones shit and i didn't want to use anything else anymore because it just wasn't viable. I used my Tyke and my Spitoo until i reached the Boar-City and dealt like 10 damage throughout 50% of the game but it just doesn't work as well as it sounds.Īlso the 'early growth, normal growth, late growth' shit breaks the game There are the possibilities, the ideas etc. In the end you will end up using the same familiars throughout every fight, dont care about your team mates because the game is much 'easier' 1 on 1 and there is (even though i wish there was) no point in switching familiars infight. /vint/ - International Vidya īut it just pretends to be clever, you see./lgbt/ - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender.
