FULL PARTITIO BREAKDOWN! - Octopath Traveler 2

hey there everybody welcome back with the platform platypus in the name and today we're talking about my boy particio and kind of how to build them we're going to go over his whole kit uh before we get into it if you want to hang out outside of these videos discord's always a good spot we have a little bit of a community growing over there so you should be able to talk octopath traveler too with other people if that's what you want to talk about or if you like cotc octopass cotc that's another good spot for it but without further Ado let's jump into it Dave don't walk into me lady bro look at her she just clipping through me like it's nobody's business all right first let's take a look at particio himself so he has particio is the quintessential pay to win character all right let's be honest what the hell is going on with my hair quintessential pay to win right is throne a not strong enough to steal an item is she not a high enough level to steal an item can you not Allure it with agnia just buy it just spend money get it if you have money there's nothing particio cannot obtain very easily now the downside is in the early and mid game money is very hard to come by the upside is the later you get into the game the more and more money becomes kind of irrelevant also this character is the best at making money um so if you're not over spending he could definitely help you get just a lot of money in general so the purchase list lets you get items with zero uh risk you just buy it the um higher action is actually it lets you summon someone in combat which is probably pretty decent um it does take a turn so I don't know but really it also they're a business partner so when you go up here and you uh take someone as a business partner you hire them and then they give you a merchant Talent right so you can get percent off purchases or you can get there's like ones that are set in stone but usually there are ways to get more money from doing an action either using collect selling items buying items yada yada blah blah that kind of stuff so it's a good way to make money and then Hoot and Holler his latent power receives Max BP so he is particio is in a very unique spot in my opinion as far as characters go where I think all classes are realistically viable on particio we're gonna quickly kind of try to go over all of them um but let's go over his Base Class first here right so Merchant we've kind of gone over Merchant a couple times already but Merchant is incredibly powerful I in my opinion um the thing is he actually isn't particularly strong as a merchant either it's not like he's weak as a merchant but like a lot of characters will have um really really good reasons to become a certain like their Base Class they're like oh yeah yeah like Hikari is the best warrior because he gets access to these cool unique abilities um and he has the challenge thing which held some kind of build that in but he does get one really really powerful ability and negotiate schedule in fact brokenly powerful in fact maybe the most powerful ability in the game but um it's not like I don't think his kit necessarily synergizes like he doesn't his latent power is not particularly good with being a merchant for example but let's kind of go over Arrow Fortune farming ability you could use this for damage but it's you if you're going to be trying to do damage on particio you're either gonna pick a damaging secondary or you're going to be using uh more support stuff in which case you're probably not going to be having time for era of a fortune but it's a good way to get JP in the early in mid game um rest very very powerful this just straight up heals your own HP SP and cures all state assailments so this is super big it has some great combos we're gonna get into in a little bit here collect just makes money it's steel but for money pretty terrible ability overall there might be it might help you like get a bunch of money early so you can continue to pay to win stuff but in the end all it does is mitigate grinding I suppose it's not like you're going to use this in a boss fight and hope that it wins you the game um Ember fire damage to a single foam this is here purely for coverage right like I can't imagine actually actively wanting to do this um with a turn donate BP one of the big ones Grant BP to a single Ally so this is always a net positive BP for the team uh overall right because for 6 SP and zero you spend zero BP to give one BP to a character um if you spend 2B or one BP you give two to a character so no matter what this is increasing your team's overall BP by one um so this is always a good ability and this is really good for a character combining with characters like um if you have a cleric on the team if you have the cleric Divine skill to make a character go at the end of the turn and the character goes early in the turn like so like Hikari is a good example I have Hikari go in the beginning of the turn I have them use max BP to destroy an enemy and then he's gonna go at the end of the turn because the cleric I can then donate BP in the middle of that to make sure he could use full three BP charges two turn two times in the same turn for insane damage so very powerful ability now it's inherently uh weaker than casting in nearly all situations and also this could be you this is like it's a good ability but let's be honest it's worse than items there are items that still do this but better there's an items that cause zero SP and zero BP to give a character four BP so that's better but having this so you don't need to have the items is still good it's a very powerful ability but the items are even more powerful so if you have a way to get all those items that you need then you disability becomes irrelevant but it is still good I still really like this ability um side step Dodge one physical attack with 100 success rate this has always been good it's always going to be good um it doesn't help against magic attacks but guaranteed to dodge physical attacks as good as you boost this it goes from one two three four physical attacks um there's also a good combo with this we're going to be working on later my cat's trying to get into the bedroom but there's no one in there it's not working hard help pay money to summon hired help to the battlefield um probably the best ability that this character has it's great at breaking Shields it's great at debuff in the enemy it's great at dealing damage it's graded essentially everything now it's not the best damage dealer in the late game um absolutely broken damage dealer in the early and mid game um but in the late game it's not an insane damage dealer but still you could if they're weak to swords you could break four Shields and you could also break four Shields while buffing your defense you could raise the elemental attack power of your team or cover all their SP you could debuff the enemy right you could knock their turns back you could just have guaranteed Force Shields all the time with the beastlings or just do a bunch of damage with the hired uh help mercenaries so very very powerful ability it's expensive but it's very good and then the Divine skill probably the worst Divine skill in the game deals non-elemental damage to a single Foe and receive money equal to the damage dealt um maybe if you get 999 and you full Boost and you get an attack you know an elemental attack up this is good but I've never been able to do very much damage with this and even then if you do 10 000 damage and you get 10 000 money whippy do you know it's not a big deal outside of an early game now as unique skills share SP Grant a single Ally 25 of your remaining SP yeah this is okay it's still like this is good but Cassie could do better items can do better for the most part but this probably has some cool synergies here that we'll get into now negotiate schedule probably the most powerful ability in the game pay a single photo to let you act during their turn like this is as powerful as it sounds it might even be more powerful than it sounds I don't know how powerful you think it sounds but like you can prevent enemies from Ever Getting turns now it doesn't work on every boss like oh here we go my turn the shadow is coming not this time let's take a look if he can even do it right here this is gonna be the one foe in the world map that you can't do it you can't negotiate with this Phil great great all right here we are I just beat all the the main story so now we gotta do this give me give me a second here everybody give me a second 10 minutes is coming soon the Shadow's coming all right um but the point is most foes that are uh anything humanoid or not just a giant like even the train like when you fight the train in particio's boss you can pay one part of the train to take its turn and this is you literally pay money you take the turn you don't make them stop their turn you get an additional turn so you spend your turn to take their turn and then if there's lots of enemies and you can negotiate them all you take the first one in order the one that's coming up first you take its turn then you can take the next enemy's turn then the next enemy's turn the next enemy's turn so you can guarantee that they never get any turns ever um incredibly overpowered ability in every fight where you are able to use it the fights you aren't able to use it it does nothing but I it's in boss fights it's just broken the boss fight they never get a chance to attack you just do this they like after you break them they always get that turn but you could just not break them ever you could specifically deal damage to them and not break them and they never get a turn as long as you have the money to finance this ridiculous ability so let's go and take a look at the other classes the other jobs I'm sorry I just always classes so he's in a unique spot here where he's the only character that could easily individually kitty cat he's the only one that can kitty cat um he's the only one that could use any Divine skill in the game on the first turn easily now other characters could do it if you have Cassie and Cassie goes first then they could use it but then you're still using two actions essentially he could just hit the Y button on my controller and use any Divine skill in the game first turn now so a lot of his viability I think is going to come from that is a turn one Divine skill things like scholar I actually think is pretty good Alvin's wisdom because it doesn't have a turn limit right you just use it and so you could use it on and he doesn't even have to use this one on himself he could just go over and use it on another character like you know whatever uh Oswald or um Throne a whoever you're gonna have is a scholar but it's not like I don't think this is like insane but it is this is definitely a potential route you can go it you know you have the um you have the wisdom you have um especially when if you have a lot of magic damage and it's going to make your Bounty deal more damage might be your best nuke for a single Target because you can't like Target you know you don't have the Oswald Target to make it single so you might want to use uh the Bounty then if you have a bunch of magic damage so I think this is a reasonable route although I don't think it it synergizes with uh you don't get better versions of the bounty Thief I've had uh I've not Oswald I've had partitions my Thief for most of the game it's typically because Aver's Reckoning is very very good but now the aber's Reckoning on turn one and then if you have Cassie he could do it on turn two and then if you have like you could do it on turn three so you can just do this turn after turn after turn pretty darn easily it does a lot of damage I personally found the damage kind of falls off compared to what Hikari is able to do but it's been great for farming and great for bosses um stacking a ton of speed on a character is fun um and I think this is good outside of that I don't think Thief offers very much that he wants um he doesn't have anything like there's nothing here that I see and I'm like you really need BP to make this ability good it just the access to um aber's Reckoning is pretty good Apothecary I think this might be one that I overlooked on um particio because that ability that final ability to make items affect all characters is insane they know they just have that on turn one might make him better than Cassidy in some situations now it because he has to use this on turn one he doesn't get the effect he'll turn two makes it a little bit worse I think but like being able to give the full party for BP then be able to fill their entire latent gauges then been able to fully heal their HP and SP let me know like the thing is Cassidy can do combinations of these things with concoct um to like all right I don't need a full HP heel I just need one HP then I need one SP than I need one BP and then do that to the whole team you know um she could do a lot of flexible stuff but then he doesn't require um having full BP to do this because once you do it for three BP you could do this multiple turns you can keep stacking it because on turn one if you have them start with one or two let's just say you you could have them start with three essentially because you can have you could have BP boost and then head start and then you can have them defend on the first turn so the second turn he could have three VP you could use it and then boost your BP and then the turn after that you could use it on yourself again and so like you could keep this guaranteed where items are just good for the whole on every character um constantly I think we'll be able to get this on turn one is really good and I think that this is better than basically what he's finding here is because Cassie lets people use these abilities on the first turn as well I think it's better because then you need to have another person your character is an apothecary right I think having the character themselves able to do it to themselves is slightly more powerful because um apothecaries aren't that strong overall in my opinion but I think partition was an apothecary is very good it's always tough when you're fighting against Cassidy for a support role she's kind of like insanely busted but having the merchant attached to him is really good too because it gives you a lot of flexibility as well so I think Apothecary is very good for partition I was I never really used it but now that I realize how powerful that items on all things are I think that's like broken that's probably gonna be like end game stuff like post game I'm probably gonna grind a little bit of JP and get that maxed out Hunter just a worse version of the thief for particio I would say like there's no particular reason you'd want him to do this like yeah you could use the latent power on turn one but as a light and power better than the thief slate and power I don't think so um like you're basically taking this because you like Cleveland blow you only get one more weapon type it's um I don't think it's particularly good on him or any particular reason conjurer I think conjure no no it's not I just don't think hanser is good here um yeah BP boost is nice you could do that turn one and then you get two BP for the rest of the thing but it's just I don't think that's that good um yeah I just don't I don't think conjure really fits with them Arcanist this is maybe the most broken one ever the only reason I wouldn't have uh I wouldn't have particio be a Apothecary probably it's because I'm having to be an Arcanist an Arcanist is busted on particio [Music] simply because he's got seal of diffusion steel of the fusion is very good with Merchant and the only character they could do Merchant and uh Merchant and the what is this called I already forgot Arcanist is particio so let's just take a look here first of all the magic spells are fine it might make your um it might make your other you know you might start stacking some magic attack instead of physical that's fine but seal diffusion extend the reach of skills that only target the user to affect all allies for three turns so see this is like the opposite in a sense of Agnes acne is things that a target one Ally Target everyone these this is but it doesn't affect things that only target yourself this is affects things that only target yourself so let's go ahead and um what did I hit I hit B by mistake you know what only targets you and no one else restore your own HP and SP and curious data settlements this becomes an AOE recover every characters and once you full BP this it's a Max so it heals everyone's HP everyone's SP and cures them of all state assailments that is busted not to mention you know what else Works sidestep Dodge one physical attack uh-uh have your whole team guaranteed Dodge one physical attack with 100 success rate and when you fully BP this get three VP you dodge the next four physical attacks with 100 success rate that is not so but so this is like insanely powerful um I think this is like definitely what particia wants to be doing I think you want him as an Arcanist the only reason you wouldn't want him as an Arcanist is because you really want a different character as an Arcanist and you can only have one I think particio might be the best Arcanist in the game because of this ability um because of seal diffusion the way it works with his stuff there are lots of the thing is Arcanist is so strong that it works with a lot of things really well um but in addition to seal diffusion right it's nice to have these support abilities that maybe a deal damage you're probably not going to use them much as particio to be completely honest um but you also have seal of Eternity right and definitely extend the duration of a random pot of positive status effect on a single Ally now what I like to do with this especially with particio but it this is what I was doing with particio mostly I would have a character that was a cleric um give the cleric Divine skill to ikaru they give him an extra turn at the end of turn for three turns you could seal of Eternity that and it's permanent he now permanently has the ability to take in extra um it turn for the rest of the combat and then you could put that on a second character and then a third character and then eventually you could have your whole team guaranteed to take two turns every turn now that takes some setup and you're definitely going to want Cassie there to get everyone enough BP every turn to be able to do this um but it's that's incredibly powerful seal of Eternity being able to do that on turn one if you have another character that could use their Divine skill on turn one because you have Cassie on the team is very very good not to mention then also right seal diffusion is also good because you just have um seal of immortality right leaves one HP I actually don't know how seal of immortality works with seal of Eternity if someone wants to let me know it says this effect will disappear once triggered or after three turns if you make it permanent I wonder if it is gets rid of the three turns but it still loses when triggered I'm not sure there um I think particio makes a wonderful Arcanist and I like it a lot arms master I don't get why I think arms Master is not something you'd want to do particia wants to be his Merchant abilities are strong enough I feel like where you're going to want to be using donate BP you're going to want to be using side step you're going to want to be using hired help you don't really want to spend your turns doing this this is like you want these skills to be better than your skills and I don't think that they're better for damage but Patricio is not really here for damage now he looks cool um and you can definitely do that route but I'm not entirely sure particio is an inventor I don't like anyone as an inventor that's not agnia because the ability to duplicate the targets of all these spells is so good um but if you have an acne on the team is something else you can have her Target him with a Divine skill and then you're doing a roundabout way to get the same effect but I mean it's viable you know it's it's definitely viable it's not bad um the invent it's it's just good though it's just average and it's only average because of other characters being better at it Warrior nothing here you want I don't think ventral blade is always cool I like vengeful blade ventral Blade with side step is good too right you could guarantee Dodge and then you can guarantee counter attack it's kind of cool it's a lot of setup for like little though like it might be better if he could mug people that use that kind of a attack but I'm not so sure here cleric I think particio makes a wonderful cleric because of that cleric Divine ability is so good to take extra turns and he can guarantee do this on turn one not to mention that it just gives him like when he's not doing the BP and the um like the thing is this guy could heal but it's like if you're gonna want to heal with particio you should be doing the Seal of diffusion Tech probably um but having a way to revive the party having a way to um heal everybody and having a little bit of damage and a little bit of the support stuff but this is mostly you're taking this so he could use a Divine skill on someone turn one and then maybe have someone else's The Arcanist to give that permanent um that's typically the reason I think you would pick these two characters like the cleric on particio is specifically for that Divine skill and then he's still good right he still has access to the merchant which is a very powerful class um and the cleric is also a very powerful class right Mystic staff is not bad the ability to do light damage if you go really heavy into the elemental attack maybe you do want to use your Divine skill on the uh Merchant probably not because you'd probably rather use a Divine skill in the cleric almost every time but you know its potential dancer ah this is I think he's the one character that might want to be a dancer because the Divine skill the dancer is not bad it's not great it is good but like here's the thing if you just have agnia yeah you can't use it every turn on acne you can only use it once but you don't really need to use it all the time every turn especially if she has an inventor and she has the ability to recover everyone's latent power gauges it's kind of like yeah you could have him as a dancer use the Divine skill on a character so that someone can have the acne a passive for three turns which is better than acne as one turn but then you're using his all of his BP and an action to give another character a buff that you probably don't need every turn for three turns I don't know it it seems like I think he's maybe the second best dancer in the game because agne is the number one dancer and then I think he's probably number two um but then that's it we got all the way around there so the thing about uh support skills this is going to be pretty linear but in case someone only watches one of these videos we're gonna go over them every time all right you don't need deal more damage that's get rid of that you you might want it if you're going for a farming strategy but I'm not going assuming you're not going for a farming strategy full power keep in mind that this is not a good support skill it's not a good support skill it's only good if you're farming because if you go to a it might be good if there's a multi-phase boss fight okay this is a situation where it's good there's a multi-phase boss fight and it fills up your latent power gauge in between combat all right in between the two phases or whatever but if you go rest at an end you get full latent power on all your characters so this doesn't actually do anything if you're about to fight a boss like you could you can just build you know you could fill up your latent power gauges farming fights and then go into the boss with this so this is a convenience thing a quality of life thing um but I feel like a lot of people like this ability me too but when you're actually going up against the boss you're probably not going to want this one now step ahead I think is maybe the best support skill in the game gives your whole team an extra turn at the start of combat just do setup very very very very powerful love this ability on everybody everybody every I'm probably never gonna not use this care this ability on everybody boost Start Grants the equipping character One PP at the start of battle I think it's pretty good on particio yeah he gets full um in fact you know what you're absolutely right he gets full you actually lose a BP by doing that so and negate what I said that's terrible um I mean it comes out equal right but yeah if it comes out equal you don't really want that I do think that BP regeneration is pretty good on him because he goes through a lot of BP having a 25 chance of recovering the amount of bpus is not bad um it's it's definitely something I think is a little bit better here I think if you're gonna go with Arcanist you might want to use equal might I think Eagle might could be very powerful here um essentially because you're going to be stacking his Elemental attack although right now it looks like his Elemental attack is pretty low but that's because he doesn't have the um the job equipped right like oh he does well why are his stats so low I guess just because of the uh equipment so just put on I don't know put on that and then if you put on something like that I guess you know what maybe that one's not as good I think it would be pretty good but I haven't given him any nuts so that's probably the issue there um I think incidental attack is like I think it's a bad ability but I think if anyone could use it it's probably particio he's going to spend almost no turns actually doing an attack um and if they're going to be weak to something like if you have an enemy that's weak to Spirit this gives them a 50 chance to break a shield I think it's pretty good but honestly you're probably gonna just want like for a character like this I'm gonna want to go deep into the um defensive thing because he's not really he doesn't care that much about damage his SP is fine as BP is fine like he's mostly there as a really cool kind of support character to make other people do things I'd probably do something where it's like I don't even have it but like the hang tough right the ability so he doesn't just die and then I'd probably have the ability here um instead of BP regeneration I'd probably use the cleric one or if he does die he just picks himself back up and then just have him always there to just heal people when he needs to right and if the whole team dies if you have him like as an apothecary You're Gonna Stand Back Up revive everybody um that's one route you can go also just having really he's just I I think the BP saver is pretty good too though I think I think I could use the I think I could use the BP regeneration for sure definitely no doubt that that's pretty powerful and but other than that like it's really just like a step ahead and they kind of the issue with support abilities like there's nothing that's insanely like this is so synergistic it's more just like what are you finding that's good for the way you're taking them what does your team need and so that's kind of what you just do here like I don't really care about him dealing damage I might I would probably like just because I don't care about him dealing damage I would probably still like get him a lot of Elemental attacks so he can deal damage on those turns where I know support is needed um something like that but really that's kind of all there is to it because of most of his damage is going to be non-elemental and from his Elemental standpoint because he only has one he has a fire attack and he has a non-elemental attack I don't think there's any like staff that makes that stronger uh specifically defense why you know item wise just kind of equip that's good you know find stuff to make a stats higher probably stuff that increases in survivability stuff that increases his um you know it might be kind of nice to have a few of these things like equip uh prevent him preventing like these status ailments that don't kill you but like I think this Divine necklace is actually surprisingly good on particio why because the diffusion rests so if someone petrifies your whole party and he's immune to it he can then cure everyone's petrification with a rest so that's pretty good actually I think stuff like that if an enemy is going to do that I think that he's going to be pretty good you're going to want him on your team but as far as characters he's good with I think he's a little nombo with casting even though they still work out but they're both kind of filling a BP role but and for the most part I mean he's I really liked him with ikaru I like him with any character that you want to have him with a um you want to have a second turn right because I love being able to give someone a second turn on turn one and then every turn for the rest of combat they're always taking a second turn they do it to another character then you do it to another character and then by turn like six all your characters are taking two turns every turn right um and I actually think that might be a casty particio combo then you have like two damage dealers here um to kind of back it up maybe like a an agnia here she does decent damage for sure um but yeah that's gonna be it we're just kind of rambling at this point talking about the things that are good I think the job aspect is the most important thing as far as items like things change when you get to the post game and um I'm still I'm trying to do like an early like kind of like oh when are they good always I don't want something that's only good after 50 hours but anyway doesn't matter much leopard platypuses for plot a plus I will see you next time you have a good one next up I don't know we'll get the Cassidy soon don't worry we'll get that we're halfway through I think this is number five we'll we'll get through them all don't you worry friends see you next time
