| metalmonstar said: How do you play Melia? I heard she can topple characters on her own and that she has great dps. I have been trying the water, lighting, duplicate thing but I haven't been impressed. Anyone know how topple locking works? What gems and gear should I use. I am only like 47 but I would very much enjoy killing a Deinos. The video I saw they did it with the characters in their underwear. I think they used Dunban, Shulk, and Reyn. |
Re: Melia, her dps elements (fire, ice, earth) will come shortly. Initially her only real ether attack is lightning (aqua blows), which is still worth looking into due to most enemies' low ether resistance. Ignore Aqua, focus on the other elements, and keep in mind that her auto-topple requires two separate skills (Spear Break is the first, I believe). As you level up her skills you'll find that you can pump out ether attacks as quickly as you can select them.
Regarding topple locking, you're going to want to focus on Topple Plus gems on your toppler(s), level up the topple and break skills, and use skill links to maximize both topple damage and chain attacks. If you're figthing something that's way above your level, try to also maximize your agility and your tension: if either one is low, you'll be missing quite a bit, and there goes the topple lock. It helps to have your chain attack already built up when you enter the battle. Beyond that, just focus on toppling the enemy ASAP, then maximize damage while it's down (to build up your chain attack again). Rinse and repeat. Just don't panic if the topple wears off: enemies have an animation they go through after they're toppled, and they can't attack until they complete it. This usually buys you the extra second or three you need to "keep" it locked.
