User blog:Linathan/Squad Spotlight: Fun With Normal Attacks

Normal attacking is just the basic attack of your units and the main premise of generating your BB gauges. However, turns out, with enough utility, normal attacks can become quite lethal to enemies if played correctly. Don't know what I'm talking about? Let's explore!

Squad 1: Typical
Made in the most F2P manner possible! Can't deny the awesome power of F2P!

Whatever you do, always make sure Ark's hit count buff is active. Avani's SBB has a +1 hit count. To avoid Avani's +1 hit count buff, use Avani's SBB and then Ark's BB directly after.

Because stat conversion buffs are a ton of fun, Gazia is there to convert Atk to Def and vice-versa. Paris also does a fantastic job with providing all three stat buffs, replicating Nadore's SBB, but better. Drevas is there to cure status ailments for the squad, which is something Paris lacks.

Squad 2: Full F2P
Not F2P enough? Let's take it up a step!

To maximize the damage dealt in the most F2P manner, we're using Lugina as the lead to provide the high stat buffs. After all, since all we're going for is the OTK, we only need those few turns to have fun, right?

Instead of using Avani's UBB for the hit count buff, we're using Selena for this type of buff. Everything else stays the same.

Squad 3: Hadaron
Used for OTK-ing even the hardest quest dungeons!

Proven in the Lv7 Elgif dungeon, Zamburg EX, and even Fal Nerga EX, you can never go wrong with the insane amount of damage you deal!

If you really want to maximize buffs, follow these steps:
 * Overdrive with Zenia.
 * Use Zenia's UBB
 * Use Ark's BB
 * SBB with everyone else
 * Next turn, normal attack with everyone else.

If you're afraid of status ailments, use Krantz instead of Gazia. Status ailments only deem lethal when using up the first turn to buff everyone.

Even in some situations, you don't even need a second Hadaron lead, especially in the Lv7 Elgif dungeon where you can practically use any friend you want.

Conclusion
These normal attack OTK squads are viable in a huge amount of the content available in the game, mainly in the hardest Vortex dungeons, EX normal quest dungeons, etc. Normally, you won't see these squads in a trial, unless you're really going for a last resort to yolo your way through before dying.
