Alphadia F (IV Remake, 4) Strategy

[VertVentus]

I’ve finished post-game. This is the rare Aki Yasumura game that has varied effects than just incremental ATK/DEF increases, and restricted equipment access makes itemization a little more fun than usual.

There was a couple tips in the previous thread. On Very Hard. I was Lv. 76/99 by the time I could reach that Metal Licker spot (where Leifer’s face is on southwest corner of northeast continent, ship unlocked), and you just naturally reach level cap by the final boss, resulting in 5000~6000/999 HP, 500~800/999 MP, and 400~500/999 in all stats (STR/VIT/MND/AGL). One of the post-game swords guarantees critical hits, then you can extend the range of your normal attack to all-target and sweep them.

There’s apparently a glitch with Quest #3 to find 3 Lickers, approach the forest from the west side and you’ll be fine.

Without any stat boosters used, I didn’t find the game very difficult. Granted I did start with ~900 Astral Stones, bought another 2600, and had 15 Premium Tickets from dailies for some strong weapons. That was more than enough, and I had hoarded 50+ Ability Machina (All Stats +10) and Magic Life Machina (HP +60, EP +15) from dailies since the JP launch too.

1. Battle End EP Recovery because of 3×3 enemies.
2. 1/3 Gold Up +100% for equipment synthesis & bulk recipe crafting & post-game Arena stat booster farming (aforementioned Ability/Magic Life Machina).
3. 5/5 Magic Damage Dealt +20%.
4. The rest in Physical Damage Dealt +20% (final boss phase 1 reflects magic).
5. [Regret] Stat-Boosting Items: You get the Hi-Machina which give +10 to a single stat every 10 battles, while you naturally get a regular Machina for +3 single stat every 20 battles. Obsolete with the post-game arena grinding method.
6. There’s no All-Intelligence Ring/All-Ability Ring you can Item Exchange, it’s only through gacha but you’ll naturally get 5 Full Release Rings for access to all your elements and can arena exchange for the 6th.

The game gives you the “First Attack” formation to always start fights with pre-emptive strikes, so even when endgame enemies will naturally outspeed you even at Lv. 99 (but before stat boosters), you can kill them with all-target magic beforehand. For bosses, you can switch to “One Pointer” (1 Front with ATK & AGL +100%, 5 Rear with Damage Taken +30%) but ideally “Top Star” (2 Front with All Stats +30%, 4 Middle with AGL -30%). In post-game, you’ll get “Charging Gauge” to set BG to 5/5 to grind out weapon skills faster but inflict Sleep on everyone (nullify with 1 Sleep Locket and 5 Divine Bracelets). In post-game, you’ll also get “Lunacy” to force 4 vanguard into a 1.5x damage taken but 4x normal attack damage state.

The primary elements to focus on are Darkness (Rank 94’s Catastrophe is Power: 680×3~6) and Wind (Rank 50’s Quick Speed to allow an ally to act instantly). Fire (Rank 94’s Volcano is Power: 600×4) and Earth (Rank 56’s Comet is Power: 450×4) aren’t bad either. Compared to Alphadia III, there’s been nerfs like no -2 stage debuffs besides Rank 99 Light’s -2 ATK (you can buff cleanse any +2s), Water losing its MND debuff (Rank 36 Darkness, Compound magic, or items only), Earth losing its 80% charge & nerfed final damage skill, Wind’s double normal attack got changed to the “Twin Necklace” accessory & nerfed final damage skill, Compound magic damage nerfs (Omegadia’s 1500 > 850). I would also prioritize Rank 99 Earth because its +28% HP bonus alleviates the stat booster grind.

Throughout the game you can get 3 Energi Conversion Collars, which increases STR & MND by 10% and swaps ATK & MND in battle, so you can leverage the higher ATK stat after weapon synthesis to deal more Energi damage (the stat swap seemingly occurs before “One Pointer”, so you’d end up with like 1998 ATK, 1400ish MND, and 998 AGL). After maxing out your SP for 6 Rank 99 elements, you can opt to remove your equipped elements to enter a Pure state for 2x EP costs but access to all elements to free up a equipment slot from Full Release Ring/All-Intelligence Ring/All-Ability Ring. You’ll get 1 “Blank Plate” accessory (and can get more via post-game arena exchange) to +100% Energi Skill damage in this Pure state, essentially granting you 2x EP cost for 2x damage. “One Pointer” or “Top Star” can capitalize this, but sustaining the SP use is difficult especially in Arena. Post-game lets you get a Knife that makes the first 3 energi skills 0 EP cost though, so Enalia, Tetanya, and Sigurd should be your priority, with the ladies having priority depending on if you pull the gacha Staff/Scythe with +30% Energi damage or not.

The arena exchange lets you get a piece of armor that reduces physical damage taken to 1 but +100% energi damage taken. It doesn’t matter if you manage to pull up All Reflect in time and let the boss kill itself, so this is BiS. I’d keep 2 mages with Energi Conversion Collars, then 4 physical attackers with the Twin Necklace + Striped/Border for any physical bosses. Clearing Billionare Ambitions gives you an accessory that +% damage equal to 10% of your sum energi ranks, so (99 * 6 * 10%) = +59% and is stabler damage than Blank Plate.

For Compound magic, I’d prioritize Explode for bossing, all-target damage for mobbing, and all-target healing so you don’t need to sub Light element.

Dried Liver counts as Meat for Torte, Enalia, and Tetanya cooking. You can exchange 200 Arena Coins for Legendary Powder for a pre-post-game stat boost grind, where Enah does ATK/AGL due to her Seasoning preference. I got a lot from enemy drops though. Especially look into the all-target HP/EP/BG recovery ones, since you can’t use healing magic with All Reflect.

Sword access applies to Leifer (Initial), Torte, and Sigurd (Initial).

Staff access applies to Torte (Initial), Enalia, and Skye.

Knife access applies to Enalia (Initial), Sigurd, and Tetanya (Initial).

Scythe access applies to Leifer, Tetanya, and Skye (Initial).

• Nothing is as broken as Alphadia II Myu or Alphadia III Alfonso’s Limit Breach unfortunately, but endgame lets you get Kresta Knives to half the BG cost of Shimmy Dance/Unique Kindness down to BG: 2.
• One interesting synergy I’ve found is Sigurd, who can equip the 0 EP cost knife + male Energi Layer armor for 0 rebound, as a good Energidia mob clearer. Gravity Orbs increase damage dealt +30% but also Rebound +30%, but this penalty is nullified and even reduced to -5% thanks to the knife.
• Otherwise, Skye can use a post-game staff that revives allies with +2 DEF & MND with a male Divine Armor that reduces damage taken by 15%, Guard Ring for -30% damage dealt/taken, then Blue Palm Cuff for -10% damage taken (55% total). The Defender buff would give another -50% for complete immunity seemingly.

Said previous thread was here, I didn’t want to include it initially since https links kill your post.

Thanks for all the info and tips. It helps very much.

Quick question. I’m just now starting post game and came across a dude in the Research Facility entrance who will sell you an ‘Energi Cube’ for 5,000,000. The item description is less than helpful:

Event item. A mysterious object that drives evil away.

Any idea what this is for other than wiping out one’s gold bank?

In Alphadia III, do you remember how in post-game you could buy the 0001 Plate for like 12 million from an NPC in the very first dungeon, and having this would alter the ending? Instead of having to item exchange / rare drop stat grind and beat the post-game super boss for it?

It’s the same principle here in Alphadia F. In the final dungeon, there was a rock blocking a path right before the final boss. In post-game, this rock gets removed and lets you access the superboss, and beating him once lets you get the Energi Cube for free, then refighting the final boss with it carves a path to a happier ending. Surprisingly, you can then rematch him on every difficulty for various rewards like typical Ryuji Takumi superbosses.

• Easy: Lets you uncap sub element to Lv. 99, to level 2 at once.
• Normal: 5x your starting BG recovery value. [Both are doable at Lv. 99 with no stat boosters.]
• Hard: Lets you acquire another 10 Astral Stones after 10 battles. [You can beat this at Lv. 99 with no stat boosters with a solid strategy. You’ll need to go into the fight with Death Game (survive at 1 HP) or Chicken Force (halves Energi damage taken) because he’ll always outspeed with Energidia, then you switch to a damage formation and upkeep All Reflect for any future magic casts. At low HP, he’ll halve your max HP & EP.]
• Very Hard: 10x your normal Astral Stone acquisition rate (which is 3 every 10 battles).

You can’t grind Astral Stones with rematches after acquiring those 4 difficulty rewards. Beating him on Very Hard afterwards only yields 5x of the 6 stat-boosting Hi-Machina (All Stats +50, +300 HP, +75 MP).

Cool beans. I don’t remember the 0001 Plate at all. I blame Boomer brain. Totally sucks that you can’t grind the Astral stones. That’s half the fun for me. Lol I like to grind the gacha currency and clean out the lottery items for a new game OP playthrough. Yes I am weird.

But thanks so much.  Your work is very appreciate

Hi guys, i suddenly got stuck in belfal fortress as i cant find the second crystal that needed to activate the middle door, i find one crystal which is in the room where i fought two enemies, can someone help out whete is the second crystal location?

[dewfunk]

Sorry guys, already find it, there seems to be some glitch in the gane somehow as after a while the room that was empty suddenly has the other enemies with the crystal as well

[3beez]

….. deleting screenshots…

Lol

Glad you found it though.

 

While I’m here and on a completely different topic…

Just wanted to mention that I found the attack item “Darkness Charge” (3-6 hits) to be very helpful for stacking hits quickly.  All characters can use them; requires no EP.

First time I used them was post game on Infinite Ambitions, and hit the million plus damage needed for the prize on the first try.

Finished updating my post with info AFAIK.

• I’ll update this by saying the superboss on Very Hard with 2 max stat units & Top Star (I did Enah & Torte) was pretty easy, it took like 2 Catastrophes with Energi Drive and I outsped. I could’ve setup All Reflect before his turn 1 Energidia too. Finding out it was a faster stat booster farm than arena was terrible, since I spent the last few days preparing for it, even grinding at work.
• Weirder is that the post-game Licker Forest boss is ironically harder, but Nal Tauzent recommends you finish it to help you prepare for the superboss (I’d instead recommend beating up the superboss at least on Easy~Hard before tackling the rest of post-game, even Very Hard if you’ve stat boosted a single carry to accelerate the stat booster grind). This is because Forest Emperor Destiny reflects magical damage like phase 1 of the final boss, and even with Top Star I think it outspeeds so you have to tank a turn 1 Energidia with Chicken Force/Death Game… unless you outspeed with One Pointer to setup All Reflect. Then they’ll spam strong single/vertical column physicals attacks with the occasional Energidia, so that’s the reason you want the arena Mercury Vest to reduce the former down to 1 damage while you upkeep All Reflect.
• The strongest BG skills are like 800~900 Power, assuming a normal attack is 100 Power, then 800% damage for a BG cost you have to sustain with items & work around the Rebound. One Pointer for +100% ATK & AGL would then make sense for a single stat boosted unit, but if you’ve invested in Enah/Tetanya/Sigurd as a mage, then they probably don’t have the good Sword/Scythe damaging BG skills.
• My recommendation is the Lunacy formation for 4x normal attack damage. With the Striped/Border Scarf, you deal +25% normal attack damage. Then the Twin Necklace double procs your normals, so you get 250%. By quadrupling normal attack, you get 1000%, which is more damage per turn that’s faster than BG skill use (in theory).
• The armor you get from beating Licker Forest is 2nd Guardian Dress (ailment immunity), 1 Imp Dress (auto-revive at 50%), and 1 Divine Mail (-15% damage taken), but they’re inferior to the arena’s Mercury Vest because the superboss is also going to burst you with that vertical column physical attack, and you can’t survive it otherwise.

My final equip setup was:

• Tetanya: Carlisle Knife, Mercury Vest, Twin Necklace, Border Scarf (Earth/Wind for HP & Quick Speed)
• Enah: Air Ride Silver, Mercury Vest, Energi Conversion Collar, Bouncy Pin Badge (Earth/Darkness for HP & Catastrophe)
• Skye: Grape Zagnal (Gacha, turn delay did nothing), Mercury Vest, Twin Necklace, Striped Scarf (Earth/Wind)
• Leifer: Pine Blade (Gacha), Mercury Vest, Twin Necklace, Striped Scarf (Earth/Wind)
• Torte: Coleus Rod (Gacha), Mercury Vest, Energi Conversion Collar, All-Ability Ring (Gacha) (Earth/Darkness)
• Sigurd: Ragnarok, Mercury Vest, Twin Neckalce, Striped Scarf (Earth/Wind)
