    Osvald with armsmaster can actually be (I think) the hardest hitting character in the game. Armsmaster allows him to put on 3 fire or ice boosting weapons on him. Then, with peak performance, boosted start, deal more damage, price of power, equipped fang of ferocity, and someone else using Alephan's on him, you should be able to get close to 99,999x3 on him with the buffed elemental spell+latent power when a boss is broken. The latent power is important because it basically doubles your damage for this.
    This can outperform armsmaster Hikari, but it does mean that you lose out on having a physical warmaster (which is a lot simpler) so I don't really know if it's worth it. Nice to have on one or two late bosses though.
    The concept is similar to sorceror Therion in the first game with his two fire boosting weapons.

      It’s so funny that he does this damage with elemental fire/ice over his second EX. The boosted fire/ice just does so much more at lower SP cost too.

      I have tried it already since Osvald is my main protagonist. He is OD! I didnt even go into the detail that you described in this comment, and he is OD! Peace and blessings to you.

    I think Stone of Truth from Castle is a must have for him and as an Arcanist pair he's a waking powerhouse of magic damage no matter what.
    But then again I might be biased coz I just love how he looks almost naked as Arcanist

    There are two accessories that I run on Osvald that make shim godlike. The first is Stone of Truth, which makes it so he is ALWAYS under a permanent spell intensity effect, basically making him more akin to Cyrus in the first game. The second is Laila's Amulet, which is +100 to Elemental Attack, +100 to Evasion. I have his second class as Cleric, and he NEVER needs to boost healing in order to keep the party up at or near full.

    I'm experimenti with thief Osvald and I'm quite happy with the result
    - Whole new coverage: 2 new weapons (sword\dagger), 1 new element (darkness). BP eater can much shields for low cost
    - Mooneater + Firestarter = double boost his fire skills. Basically a budget armsmaster (which could go up to 3), but this way I can leave the armsmaster slot for Hikari, and Osvald is still really fucking good.
    - A half-naked Osvald (arcanist, dancer, hunter) feels wrong. A thief Osvald with a purple coat feels just right.
    Osvald mugs people, he's half a thief already. All you have to do is make it official.
    I used the merchant subjob on him to farm leaves when I needed it tho. Juicy 40k Bifelgan's Bounty really speeds the grinding.

      @@purplatypus7405 painful, im only lvl 22 but I wish we could freely swap our main character out for the mid-late game.
      I went Os because his story was the most compelling honestly, and mage is usually fun. I just got all the other characters now and im trying to run to all the secondary jobs and try to set up a good team to center around him.
      Any tips? I was thinking Hikari, Agnea and Temenos. Not sure what secondary jobs to use on those 4 but I imagine the Arcanist and Armsmaster obv for some, and maybe Merchant for Agnea or something idk. Although I like ochette atm, my main 4 have been Os, Temenos, Ochette and Throne. But im leaning on swapping hikari for Throne and maybe make Temenos a Merchant. Idk theory crafting seems fun but difficult lol.
      Actually im guessing thats what this video is going to cover lol, nvm.

    I haven't tested it yet but my thoughts are that you would want to grab Stone of Truth on Osvald, and that if the effects of it are not permanent then have him or someone else as an Arcanist Seal it so that you can have him with permanent higher tier magic spells.
    At least that's the idea I'm working towards, but it could turn out to not be great once I have it in hand.
    Figured it'd be worth mentioning though because it seems like a go-to accessory for Scholars.
    Arcanist or Cleric secondary dependent on the amount of setup involved.

    Physical just outshines magic end game as Hikari can reach higher damage with lesser setup so I built Osvald as a reliable breaker/healer that can dps when not healing.
    Scholar/cleric for that +1 action per turn goodness. One true magic spam with Stone of Truth accessory is decent without relying on Temenos latent power.
    With Castti as BP battery you're pretty much set for OPness with the 4th character slot as flex spot for any character you want.

    I’m almost at the end of the characters stories, just over 60 hours in and although he was my second character after my main protagonist, he’s the one I’ve played with the least and I think I really undervalue you. I only pull him out to grind him up to finish his chapters. I think I’ll use him more postgame once I concentrate harder on designing teams I actually use and aren’t just trying to accomplish story goals with. I know a lot of people love him and his story is one of the best. But I’m still learning how to use him to his best abilities and with which party members. Any help/suggestions from comments is GREATLY appreciated!

    You are not wrong about anything with Teach. In fact I think you’re being too kind to it. It’s arguably the worst skill in the Octopath series and the only one I never bothered using. Even Stroke of Genius has it’s own uses and I would argue that’s a C Tier skill at best and it looks head and shoulders better than Teach. Maybe you can do the followig:
    Aracanist Osvald
    -Seal of Diffusion
    -Boosted 3x Stroke of Genius
    -someone donates 3 BP to Osvald
    -Boosted 3x Teach
    -Galdera kills you anyway.
    Like it’s such a terrible way to sink all of your resources into something so redundant. Like you said, it’s just bad dancing.

Does this mean you don't need Temenos in your party cause you are a cleric already? And why would you make another char's 2nd job scholar if you have Osvald already?
    As someone with no knowledge at all, just seeing videos, i want to play with Osvald, Temenos, Castti, and then Ochette or Throne. But Agnea seems to be better in most videos.

      As for too much cleric, early on Osvald only need the AoE light to upgrade into 2-3 hit and maybe Mystical Staff. You can still keep Temenos in the party to actually heal people, use his latent ability to break, etc.

    • @Harkz0r
      @Harkz0r Před rokem +3

      The biggest problem he has I think is needing so much setup (Alephan's Wisdom + his latent power) to do really decent damage. Though admittedly I wasn't aware of the Stone of Truth accessory which might help.
      Meanwhile physical characters have much less needed setup, I mean Hikari just vomits out damage without even taking into account the ability to slap Hienka in a turn on top of whatever else he does. Then there's his learned abilities on top of that (Limb from Limb comes to mind).

  • @13AxelRoxas
    @13AxelRoxas Před rokem +1

    It does take a little while to set up Osvald, but I usually have him ready to attack by his second turn. Turn one, I use items to bring BP to max, and then I use his divine ability. After that, I use the inventor class to boost everyone's BP since Agnea has it. By this point, my other characters have brought down shields, and then I use Osvald's Laten power, and he deals 10,000+ damage with each hit. Him and Hikari together can easily deal with most bosses I come up against.

  • @Raptor747
    @Raptor747 Před 10 měsíci

    I don't see how Study Foe can compare with Learned Skills, Concoct, or Beast Lore. Sure, it's definitely nice to have, but Hikari can used Learned Skills to have Deep Analysis which reveals two weaknesses and enemy HP for just 6SP, and that would still leave him with four other Learned Skill slots free.
    It IS a super nice quality of life thing, no doubt, but it isn't the standout character-defining, always-useful feature like Learned Skills, Concoct, or Beast Lore. Especially since Analysis comes with the Scholar job and serves well enough in the overworld (to say nothing of Deep Analysis). Study Foe also has the problem of being totally useless against foes that you already know all the weaknesses of, as well as the problem of (if unlucky) only revealing a weakness that you have no ability to properly exploit, potentially costing you a lot of turns/BP if RNG is not in your favor or if you're facing off against higher leveled enemies and don't have the luxury of losing turns to bad luck.
