One Piece Odyssey Battle System Defined

One Piece Odyssey has a variety of wrinkles in its battle system. Though you might have anticipated a really fundamental, acquainted system to be in place, the sport really does one thing totally different that may take a little bit of getting used to. You’ll want to grasp weaknesses, areas, buffs, and assault ranges to take advantage of the sport’s fight, so this information will break down every thing that you must know to get Luffy one step nearer to turning into King of the Pirates. Or at the very least getting off Waford in. . . one piece. Yeah, yeah, boo in order for you.

To start out with, One Piece Odyssey makes use of a rock-paper-scissors weak point system. There are three character sorts – energy, pace, and approach. Energy is sweet in opposition to pace, pace is sweet in opposition to approach, and approach is sweet in opposition to energy. This works precisely as you’d anticipate. If an influence character hits a pace character with any assaults, that pace character will take a a lot larger quantity of harm. If an influence character hits one other energy character, the harm might be a lot decrease. If an influence character hits a method character, the harm might be at its lowest. You may have a look at character stats to grasp simply the way it works.

Energy characters are immune to energy assaults however not as immune to them as approach characters are. Because of this you need to rigorously manage your get together so that you simply make the most of your enemies. By default, you technically have three characters of every sort (though you’ll solely have all three energy members for many of the sport, because the third pace and approach characters don’t present up till a lot later). Let’s say you’re in a boss battle in opposition to a pace character, resembling Rob Lucci. You need your energy characters – Luffy, Sanji, and Chopper – to be hitting him and taking his hits, as that may maximize your harm potential whereas preserving your crew from taking enormous quantities of harm from him.

The battle system of One Piece Odyssey

Now that you simply perceive how weaknesses work, subsequent, we’ll deal with areas. Battles in One Piece Odyssey are break up into 4 sections the place your characters and enemies are positioned at random. In case your character is in the identical space as an enemy, they’ll’t go away that space till that enemy is both defeated or if you happen to use a particular type of transfer I’ll get to in a bit. You may solely transfer to a special space by selecting to make use of a close-range assault on an enemy inside it.

However characters even have long-range assaults. As an example, Luffy’s Gum Gum Pistol is an inexpensive, efficient long-range strike. Lengthy-ranged strikes are distinctive in that they don’t change your character’s place, to allow them to be used to hit any enemy on the sphere at any time. Characters have default assaults and talents they’ll use. Default assaults can be utilized it doesn’t matter what, though virtually all of them are close-range. Not all of them, although. As an example, Usopp’s default assault is long-range. Touchdown a daily assault will grant a personality a certain quantity of TP.

Talents use this TP, so that you’ll have to combine and match common assaults and talents. Should you max out a personality’s TP capability, they’ll achieve a stat increase for so long as it’s full. Some skills can hit all enemies in an space. There are even ones (resembling Nami’s Thunderbolt Tempo) that may hit every thing onscreen. Common assaults are inclined to do much less harm than skills, however not at all times, as it could possibly depend upon the enemy you’re dealing with. For boss battles, you’ll usually need to transfer all of the opposite-type characters to the boss space.

Any crew members that you’ve got benched could be swapped onto the sphere for one in all your energetic members. You too can swap energetic members freely. Let’s say you’ve obtained Zoro and Sanji on the sphere. Zoro, a method sort, is dealing with a pace enemy that he received’t do a lot harm in opposition to. Sanji is dealing with an influence sort that he received’t be tremendous efficient in opposition to. Should you swap the 2 of them, they’ll be capable of do a lot larger harm to their enemies.

For bosses, it’s a good suggestion to depart a personality with full TP exterior the boss space. All you need to do is swap the character you need to a non-boss space after which by no means have that character assault the boss except they’re utilizing ranged assaults. Usopp is a good alternative for this, as he can proceed to assault with out ever leaving the world. You may replenish a personality’s TP earlier than a boss battle by farming for a minute or two. Being exterior the boss space will usually go away a personality protected from hits, which is sweet as a result of bosses can usually one-shot characters that don’t have the alternative alignment. If in case you have Chopper exterior the boss space, he may heal characters with out utilizing gadgets.

As you swap characters out and in and use numerous skills, sure issues will cost the bond gauge. This goes as much as degree 10 and may both be used to let characters which can be locked into an space by foes change areas, or you need to use it for tremendous assaults that require you to have three or 4 particular members in your staff. These assaults range from getting used in opposition to a single enemy to all enemies directly. For boss battles, it’s a good suggestion to save lots of your bond gauge till it’s at the very least degree 9 after which hit the boss with three tremendous assaults, which is able to severely deplete their well being bar.

You may make Trick Balls in camp, which may scale back an enemy’s assault, protection, or buff your characters. It’s a good suggestion to maintain a few of these available for powerful fights. Lastly, you need to use Luffy’s commentary Haki to identify enemies within the subject which have expertise bonus choices. Should you clear an goal within the struggle, you may earn an enormous quantity of additional expertise. Boss battles will usually require you to beat the boss with a sure character, which is able to double your expertise. That’s actually all that you must know concerning the battle system in One Piece Odyssey. So long as you retain all of this in thoughts, you’ll be capable of smash your method out of most conditions, so maintain your eyes on the prize.
