Give Rain Uncurse Ring a [/quote]
I guess you didn't have the Uncurse Ring B for 25% instead of the 10% on A. I have one in my inventory, but didn't use it, although I can see it might be a very good idea.[/quote]
I actually had the one that gave 50%, which I typed as Uncurse Ring a but it's not actually the letter "a." It's some funky symbol.
[quote="1oldtymer" post=2724]Scene: the conference room where the game developers are meeting:
Developer 1: OK, this is the last boss, the last battle, so what should be the reward? How about a deluxe megatron zray confabulator?
Developer 2: We used that in Zylo 3: The Awakening.
Developer 3: Hey guys, isn't it obvious? We want them to continue playing, so that maybe they will want to buy something....
Developer 1: Yep, that's our job, and we know how to do it! There really is only one aspect of the game that we KNOW they could not have conquered . . .
Developer 2: Gotcha! I wish I could see their faces when they see what they get! It is the only thing that makes financial sense, even if it doesn't make game sense.
Fade out....[/quote]
This......this......this makes.......this totally makes sense ya know.

[quote="1oldtymer" post=2730]Here is a question that relates to many boss battles: does INT have ANY impact on the probability that a character might evade a status ailment? That is, is it equal probability that when I am attacked with (say) poison and I am INT 100 or INT 9999 that the poison takes hold?
Here is what the help says: "INT: spiritual strength (affects attacks with staffs and enemy magic effects."
IF INT helps defend against status ailments, I might try loading up on that to battle ENNA. Not sure what I'd trade off, however.[/quote]
Answering my own question: I did a battle against Enna (again) on Normal after pushing INT up on all my characters (to around 6000 on each). It didn't seem to make any difference--the status ailments were just as frequent.. However...I did get a better feel for how to fight ENNA (I won again):lots of speed to get more turns, mega heal and then just reanimate as needed. I did try using "Full Aura" item, and fever rings, and that wasn't particularly successful. Next try, but probably not today, is push up SPD (that's not easy--SPD seems to be not as frequent as HP, STR, etc.). If that seems to work on normal, then I will take a swing, with little hope for victory, on Hard.

What would A high SPD would do? You might get more turns though but If you won't have a STR of 8000 on Hard, you wont make a dent on her HP.
