i won the fight in less than a minute, i just equipped a support that boosts phys randomly (hazel) and skipped with ctrl and increased def when she tried to counter for 30 seconds until my phys and def was high enough, then attacked her, i received 0 damage from her attacks and blocked her impale just in case. i think hazel was from the hillside development. If you ask jessica, she tells you that she's a duelist and is bad at prolonged fights, you just need to outscale her stats

Yeah, it caught me offguard too when it was introduced.

Up until the start of act 3, Arc didn’t seem to be one for minigames. But I then learned he’s the type of dev that has to keep moving, trying new things or else he’ll get bored.

Also, in terms of narrative I can’t think of how the process of “taking back the town” would’ve gone without a battle system.

About Ophelia. Right, you know you don’t have to seduce her. You can choose the strategy you want, but some work better than others depending on the enemy.

Tanks will keep defending, so seduction works best against them. Seducers are resistant to seduction so you might want to attack them instead.

Aside from dialogue and some visuals, the only difference between a HP and a WP win are that the girls will need more… sessions to get them on your side. Hell, you can even use shatter, haven’t used it meself but it’s an option.

In the case of Ophelia, I saw a lot of WP for a combat enemy and ditched the seduction strat right away.

My strat for her was to have Hazel as frontline with MC as support.

If she attacks, attack back. If she’s going to counter, use Hazel’s skill to boost PHY. If she’s going to impale, block it.

That was it. Didn’t die or use consumables.

But maybe someday I could convince Arc to add something for the folks allergic to minigames. Emphasis on the maybe.
