Tagged since I keep on getting my ass kicked |
I've been doing well thus far. However...
The Dragons are kicking my ass right now. I working on the keystones so that I can get into Vampire Castle. Salamander wasn't that bad, but the Ice Dragon is beating like I stole something. I may have to go into battle with all my specials and burn my SP.

Spiritmaster and Merchant are your friends and saviors for the Dragon fights. Have a high speed Spiritmaster start the battle with Enigma, Merchant use 3x BP Drinks (The 1000 gold ones) on Spiritmaster, then on the next Spiritmaster turn cast Fairy Ward.
That way you'll suffer 0 Elemental Damage for 4 turns and won't suffer the nasty Status effects from their elemental breath attacks for 5 turns. The dragons are piss poor easy with this strategy.
The reason the Ice Dragon is kicking your ass and Salamander was easier is because there's two dragons that don't have status effects on their breath attacks, Salamander and Wyvern. Mizuchi, the Ice Dragon, has a Stop effect with it's breath attack, which has a 50% chance of sticking to your characters.

I've actually beat Mizuchi earlier tonight. I used examine to find his weakeness (Lightning). I set all of my Specials to do lighting damage, equipped the Stop Immunity ability, my Ice Flame Shield to my healer, Ice Charms to everyone else. I had my Templar (Edea) use Rampart on each of her turns, hit him will my specials, and had my Arcanist use Sacrifice and hit him with Thundaga. It took a few turns but he went down.

Congrats  . Specials are rather useless for damage output on Hard though, only used them for stat boosts, as most bosses have 1,5x to 2x the amount of their Normal counterparts HP stat. Dragons were at 150K, so I had to rely on a strategy of constantly mitigating their elemental damage + statuses while freeing two characters for constant damage (two Dual Wielding Ninjas with counter-elemental weapons).

Ah I see. Bravely Default has legit difficulty. I don't think I'll be kicking it up to hard any time soon.
