When you have a set of Pictos so powerful, it auto-wins every battle.
Pictos equipped:
FIRST OFFENSIVE: First hit dealt and taken deals 50% more damage.
AT DEATHS DOOR: Deal 50% more damage if health is below 10%.
AUGMENTED FIRST STRIKE: 50% increased damage on the first hit, once per battle.
Luminas set (with cost):
AUTO DEATH (1 pt): Kill self on battle start.
DEATH BOMB (5 pts): On death, deal damage to all enemies.
SOS POWER (5 pts): Apply Powerful when falling below 50% health.
The above set, total cost: 11 pts. This will trigger an instant death explosion at the start of every battle, resulting in an instant win in many cases. The character who exploded will then be revived with 1 HP, which will activate the damage boosts for low health in the next encounter.
For bonus fun, to supercharge your party, equip to the same character:
ENERGIZING DEATH (5 pts): On death, +4 AP to allies.
ENERGIZING REVIVE (5 pts): On revival, +3 AP to allies.
Every battle start will issue 9,999 max damage per enemy. If this doesn't kill them, reviving the character will max out your party's AP immediately.
