"Our biggest concern is that special it is using - severing Pleaides from it for good will only ensure that it uses it. There is nothing we can do against this beast besides run!"

"Heckz, finger pointing will help no one!" Doesn't help that he's 100% correct in saying that, but... "There is nothing meaningful we can do - we have no choice. No element we can use, no status we can inflict, and likely nothing we can do to resurrect Pleaides until the demon is down. With more people attacking we have even more of a chance of incurring its wrath - we may inadvertently slaughter the students, our only link back to Eubric, and ourselves. If the solar blast goes off, we need one person to attack the demon while we're all weak, or it'll send out its blast no matter what. In the case where we're all weak and we need to target the demon again, s single misstep and we're all dead. This battle is going to kill us all, Thalion. Especially now that we have more people piling on the demon, its all the more likely it'll unleash a solar blast and essentially end us. We NEED to run."

At least you guys aren't fighting an invincible sun.

Well, considering Aureole is border-line brick wall, yeah.

I think a Hastened enemy dealing a free hit no matter what is fine.

"I'll await our party leader's input."

I'm actually curious: is Big Battles judged by the number of heroes, or number of enemies? I'm noticing all of the examples you have listed have had the heroes outnumbered, while the one I'm planning actually has a number of enemies approximately equal to the heroes... But will be more excruciatingly difficult nonetheless.

I apologize in advance if my passive is inconveniencing anyone. In terms of balancing... I almost would've grouped everyone by their level as a QM. It damages versatility, sure. but sometimes that needs to be sacrificed in such a massive brawl to be fully enjoyable. Big battles have potential, though. I don't think they're a lost cause in the slightest.

"In the long run, I just don't think this battle is worth it. Doing so only makes us viable to drop - I may have already killed Pleaides for good! If we can bring the school back without exterminating this demon, I'd be happy."

"...If we lose Noel, we die here. I say we flee. Now."

"Just beware... if that thing hits us with its special, it'll take us a minimum of 3 turns to fully recover from it."

"I'm afraid "we're all dead" may not be an exaggeration in my case, should this go wrong..." I bite my lip and run through all of the possible options... To think the Sun, of all things, would prove the most murderous thing I've encountered.

Well, Auroele's battle officially took a turn from being "long" to "lethal."

I let an arrow fly, hoping to shoot the demon squarely through the eye... ...The demon instead wretches its chains and puts Pleaides in the path of my shot. "...No, damn it! I refuse to kill another!!" Without my hood, there was nothing to obscure the visible pain in my eyes. I was torn up about this. it was glaringly obvious, yet I tried to conceal it otherwise. Sandy, can I resurrect Pleaides with a Phoenix Essence?

QM Note: The first issue has been resolved, but I don't believe poisons stack. "REMARK: referring to me as "Master Minoid" is an unnecessary social convention. QUERY: Why do you do such things?"

If you consider Ethereal to be a type that is simply immune to all elements, and then attack it with another weapon with effective typing (Water weapon against a Fiery Ethereal), wouldn't it be normal damage? I can attack Aureole (Holy/Demon) with my Dark Ice bow, after all.

"Keep at it. Maybe we can reduce this damn thing to nothing if you hit it enough," I muse.

I believe something similar was issued as well. Otherwise, you have a 10 gold version of the Rogue's skill.
