i like crystal. it rules. and so does balm.

Bane is my favorite djinni. He poisons people!

hmm.. I like blitz and char.. they paralyze.. but crystal and balm are like really powerful

I like Shade, Granite, and that mars djinni I can't remember. They cast a barrier that protects your party.

You mean Flash.

I like Balm too. But I like Geode and Serac the best.

I like granite too but when i was playing i saw that the barrier they set up did not protect me from psyenergy

I think they protect you from different types of attacks.. so granite can be really good defence against some attacks while i'ts worthless against others..

Haze and Kite and lull are cool, but flash is the best, the enemiy cant do a thing to you then

Same with Granite and Shade.

yes but Flash is more powerful than granite and shade by far

Perhaps...Bane, Echo, Flint, and Steel are my faves, cuz they deal a big blow.

Cannon is a good one also.

Cannon is okay, but it's weak compared to the other djinn.

Well, maybe I'm thinking of the wrong one...

Yes, maybe you are.

I still like Serac. For Mars, I like Shine, although Fury is much more powerful. For Jupiter, I like Gust because you can hit many times. For Venus, I like Geode because of the graphic sphere.

oh.. that's where it is. I never use djinns. I have no real need since Isaac has like 50% chance of doing around 1200 (on chimera worm) and all the other around 1000 except for mia. She only does like 350..

seach :vein:

everybody does 1000 but she does 350...freggin big difference :o

Yeah... oh well, at least she can heal.

yep.. and so can jenna. the good thing is that they almost never run out of pp :)

I like Mia better though. It just seems more.... right.... to have a Mercury Adept healing people.

Yeah, it's true, but Jenna can heal everyone at once. It's not fair to Mia, it makes her lose her purpose. -_-

Mia can heal everyone at once! Her best skill for it is better than Jenna's if you're talking Aura vs. Wish. Of course, Jenna is a Beast Lord on my game. Manticore heals 300 to all, which still isn't as good as Pure Wish. But Jenna only has one move that uses more PP than her PP recovery equipment restores, and that's Ghost Soldier, so she's actually the better healer.

Oh, I always forget the Wish psynergies. Because my Mia never has them. She's always a water seer throughtout the whole game.

i dont know how you play the game without the wishes... i use them so often. i used to use a tomagrathon (i dont know how you spell that) for Jenna. but then i needed her auras. so i use them now.

I have all my dudes in weird classes so they have really weird psynergies, and that rules.

I use mist potions. I don't often heal during battle, so after a battle, I heal with cure. Mist potions are for bosses only.

I recon Kite is the best becuase I used it against the Fusion Dragon on Mia so she healed as well as attacked

I never used Items... NEVER!

Down with items! I never use items either. In any game. Except a bit in Pokemon Ruby...

items aye
i only use potions in the last battle (both games) or sell them.
fav djinn is probably the one that makes the ememy hit itself

perfect place to say stop hitting yourself

Speaking of me and items, I also found them higly useful in Tales of Symphonia. In fact, while I usually hoard my money and sell everything except for the equipment I'm using, I practically tried to have as little money as possible at any given time by keeping a complete stock of every kind of gel and life bottles and all that stuff.

Items are good, but what sucks it that most of them are only 1 time use...

in golden sun i dont beleive in using any healing item all i believe using are djinn, psynergy and power-up items

me love power-ups!!!!!!! ^_^ :}

Power up items... You mean the items that raise you stats I presume. I don't even use those. I save them up because they're too precious. I feel like I've used them in some game where they're techinically limitless, but nothing comes to mind. I would say Dragon Warrior Monsters, but I don't really use them much in that either. I'm chalk full of them but I'm saving to maximize my three +99 monsters that I've been working on for like a year.

good way to max stats in dwm:
always have like 3 bookmarks with you.
whenever you find a floor that only is 2 screens big, save with a bookmark, then drop in the hole.
if there is a bard on the next floor(the green guy who gives you the medicine), fight him, when he dies all your mosnters (or at least all that are still alive) will have their lowest stat raised by 20.
if there is not a bard on the next floor, reset and try again.
2 screeners are very rare, but thats why i say just to carry bookmarks at all times, in other words, dont go looking for them, just be prepared in case you find one.

Interesting, I always wondered how those guys came. I think I'll not bother, although I always carry a couple bookmarks anyway. I don't want to actually use them more than necessary. After all, I can't afford to waste my 1,082,925 G.

yeah, it took mea while to realize that the enemy master appearance was based on events:
if i remember correctly:
priest=pick up every item on the level
wizard=explore every screen on a very large level
bard=explore both screens on a 2-screen level
red/yellow warrior=random I think
merchant=can't remember, i think it was not picking up any items on the level
i think thats all of them. been a loooong time since i played this game. some tricks I used with them were:
-if you have megamagic cast it against the priest, it should kill all of his monsters and he will restore all your hp/mp afterwards so the huge mp cost doesnt matter.
-always explore the early levels, and hope you get a wizard to take you to the end, before I learned this trick it would take me upwards of and hour to go through some of the later levels.
-make sure you have at least 2 spaces free before you fight the warrior, otherwise you only get a warpwing
and of course, the saving to make sure you get a bard.

nah, in any battle i save all my items for drastic measurements, when the battle is going bad downhill, i pull out the items, but i thinks its kind of funny that one of my characters are always walking around with corn, yep i got corn on GS and carried over to GS2

WAWAWAWAAAAA I HAVE CORN YOU FOOOOOLS YOU FOOLISH FOOLS!!!!!


anyways, in my big battles, i usually start out with 3 or 4 djinns for each person set, summon until i cant, and then just use normal attacks until an emrgency, which i then use flash or shade, then set them back the next turn and continue on, i always used jenna as my main healer, and i made her i beast lord so she would have more health and still have good healing, this never failed my in a battle except when fighting doom dragon and is stupid-gay djinn fest >.<
