octopath traveler decision battle 2 intro

In truth, you may want to take a cue from the Splatoon 3 meta: If double Splash-o-matics are so effective, why not try double scholars in OT2? It’s a strategy I used to great effect in the original Octopath Traveler, and while I didn’t do so immediately in the sequel, I carved a similar path of destruction when I finally started doing it here. Physical attack types tend to be pretty well spread across different jobs, and no one job provides more than two different weapon type attacks (until you find the secret class, that is…), but the Scholar not only provides the best concentration of elemental attacks (Fire, Ice, and Lightning), but also provides all-enemy attacks for each one, giving you solid type coverage that can go after multiple enemy weaknesses simultaneously. One of the big keys to success in Octopath Traveler II is to have as many weapons and elemental attacks at your disposal as possible, so that you can always find an opening no matter who you’re standing against.

Keep a Scholar in your party as much as you can.

So what can you do to increase you chances of success in this game?

Since the purpose of this blog is basically to subject myself to torture (whether it be bad songs or tough games) so you don’t have to feel the pain yourself, I figured that I’d pass along some of the strategies that I learned the hard way and used to great effect in the later stages of OT2. If your characters aren’t ridiculously overpowered, you may struggle to keep up with your trickier, rapidly-and-frequently-attacking opponents, and winding up taking 8-10 tries to bring down a baddie (not that I’m speaking from personal experience or anything).

The sequel plays much the same as the original did in terms of the combat, but I’ve found the bosses to be a bit harder, throwing in a lot of new twists and tricks to shake up the static formula of normal combat.
