Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't think there's a thread for this yet, so I'll ask the question. For those of you who own 358/2 Days, which character could be considered your Main in Mission mode. If you use more than one/all of them equally, or simply don't have one, you can state that as well.

As for me, it's undoubtably....XIGBAR!!! His ability to hit enemies from a distance without getting hit himself is very useful. Not that I don't like getting in close, I often use Saix or Larxene just for the heck of it. I've used every character at least a couple of times and Xigbar's my best man.

At this point, I've completed the game 100% (That means all Char. unlocked, All Mission Crown/Challenge Sigil freebies obtained (Including the difficult to obtain Ultima Weapon), and all items Synthesized). So I have nothing to do except hope that I can play Multiplayer Mission Mode with someone else in the near future.

My Panel Arrangement for Xigbar:

Lv.83 (I haven't yet managed to get to Lv.100, but 83 is good)
Double Tap+ (Which is created with the Omega Gear+) + Power Unit x4 & Sight Unit x1
Fire Lv.4 x13
Aero Lv.4 x13
Cure Lv.4 x11
Dodge Roll Lv.3
Block Lv.3 + Round Block
Glide Lv.5
Air Slide Lv.5
Aerial Recovery Lv.1
Haste Lv.3
High Jump Lv.2 + Float (Cause Float is useful, and it's fun)
Auto Life Lv.3
Treasure Magnet Lv.3
Scan & Range Extender
Limit Boost & Final Limit (Of Course)
Ultima Weapon
Backpack+12
Megalixer x4
Master's Circle (Provides 100% resistance to all elements, but damages you every time you miss (Risky Play) and prevents your healing from working at low HP (Perma-Plight. You CAN use Cure and Potions Etc., but they won't heal your HP). Interestingly enough, Xigbar is immune to Risky Play, making him all the more valuable in Multiplayer.)

I think it's a very good Panel Set. You can rate it (If you so desire), or post your own with your main, it's your choice. I believe that I would be a very good asset in any multiplayer mission (Though The Emerald Serenade Missions would be a bit harder).

My main is Saix, but I also use Zexion, Axel, and Roxas a bit too.
The only thing I don't like about mission mode is the fact that you do a lot less damage.

Maluxia, I get a good combo with that dude but Larxene is pretty good too 3nodding

My best iz Axel - Got it memorized XD

Man....No other responses? Damn, it seems so lonely in this thread...why do all the threads I come up with get so few responses? It's like the universe hates me or something.....*Breathes in, then out* Well, no use in pouting. I guess the 358/2 Days craze just passed. No more interest. Oh well.

Yeah, some of the challenges even left me scratching my head on occasions, and I'm a KH Veteran. Mostly the Scorching Sphere Timed Challenge. I had a lot of trouble with that one before figuring out that Blizzara is more versatile than Blizzaga. Trust me, Gliding speed is key in that mission, because if you can't use Blizzard on it before it starts to spin, you are SOL.

I like using Saix too. I've got a personal deck for him that also takes advantage of his Critical skills. Aside from Xigbar's personal Deck, I have a generic one that works well with all of them, one catering to the Mystery Gear, and I duplicated the first file into the second slot to make one for Larxene (her speed is awesome) and a few others. I like using Riku too, mostly with the Pandora Gear for Oblivion instead of the Zero Gear, although that one's good too. The ground combo can easily turn into an aerial combo. I can see you fit a lot of magic on to him. I personally prefer Cure Over Cura because the healing is immediate and at Lv.5 can help increase that effect.

By the way, have you taken on the Dustflier yet? Not just the standard Story Mode version, but the Greater HP Mission Mode version? He's a crazy bugger, I tell you, but it's a fun boss to me. I like a challenge.

Lol biggrin .It's true, he's the Sephy of this game, complete with overpowered attacks.

Cura does have its advantages if you can wait for it to work, but I'm more used to powerful healing in an instant (KH and KHII used that). So Cura and Curaga kinda threw me for a small loop when I saw their different effect.

I am a dodging master, and Xigbar's loading time isn't too slow for me, so I can work with him pretty well, plus, he can attack from a fair distance away, so that helps with my hit-and-run tactics. Not to say I can't play offense, I use Saix almost as often as I do Xigbar. His finishers deal major damage if you've got him set up real well (And I can see that you do. biggrin ). I've used all of them at least once. Zexion seem more built for magic, and Vexen is interesting (and can be useful with his faster weapons), but I don't use him much either. Lexaeus can be fun, especially since you can defy gravity with his Limit Break (You can hold it in midair and while charging he sits with his hand on the air like he's on the ground. Defying gravity with him is fun biggrin especially since the finisher breaks in the air like on the ground).

The magic system isn't too bad. The attacks are different (instead of just being a more powerful version of the standard, the -ra and -ga versions often have different efects, like Blizzaga's Mine capabilities, and Aerora's ground swimming (whatever you wanna call it)), so it's a nice touch up. The status effects are interesting too. Makes me wonder if KHIII will have 'em. Adds another level to gameplay.
