Grinding Metal Enemies?

[tkv89]

So anyone have any idea how to grind metal enemies in this game? In other games, I had items that could grant pre-emptive battles and multihit. But can't seem to find pre-emptive stuff in this game?

 

Any ideas?

Hello, and welcome to the forums!

 

Sorry for the late reply. You know. Real life.

 

First - I only saw Metal enemies on metal islands. Therefore, no metal attract items

Second - There's Attack All Stone, insertable on weapons which cause 50% chance that normal attacks hit all.

Third - Shiranui's “Vanish” gambit increase preemptive rate in 10%. Speed Jewel also raise it in 2%.

 

I hope this helps!

In addition to the points made by Jesusalva, there are several skills that give multiple hits.  Also:

Shiki's skill Iron Sledge :2x2 space critical rate 33% up for metal enemies over normal attacks
Sakura's  Marble Scoop weapon: critical hits for metal-class monsters 20% up

So my current setup is 2x crit+50 ( as an aside I feel I understand farmers better now what with the prayers for a bountiful harvest)

The good thing is that with this setup as long as I can get a turn off any multihit-all skill guarantees multiple overkills. Now if only we had pre-emp 100 in this game....

I use two 50% critical stones and just spam either Heavy Anathema, Heavenly Ghost Card, or Whirlwind Shuriken works like a charm
