I kill monster regulary and tell everyone to use skills. Then I use Data drain on rare occasions to get cores. In dungeons i clear alll the portasls and in the field too.

I only DD when I have to. And sometimes I just like DD'ing for fun. depends though. ^^; If i'm in need of Virus Cores, I DD, but if not, I just DD to get me some weapons. :x


I also have a weird tendency of going to REALLY high level places, just so that I can level up faster. --But I would NEVER EVER go to a high lvl place with Kite alone...that scares me. xD

I only DD when i need virus cores, which actually turns out to be horrible! I hate virus core hunting, aagh, so annoying. But yeah i try and get experience for my players and pretty much only DD when i have to or when i am in a really tight spot. I usually try to go to the highest level i can without being killed, which is usually about 7 or 8 levels above my level at this point. I do that cuz i hate having to waste time leveling up by getting like 28 exp. points each monster that takes forever lol, when i fight 7 or 8 levels above my level i get like 540 exp a monster lol, it is great.

Hmm, yeah sometimes. But it usually isn't that scary for me, just another challenge, its actually very fun for me.

Lol, Uzi, to me it's NOT a challenge, it's annoying. but ah well.; Yeah, Gate Hacking IS fun. The problem is..hunting for virus cores and then NOT getting the virus cores you need --but I keep forget to check that e-mail Helba sends you about the virus cores, thus why I sometimes can't find the ones I need. *sigh*

I only go Data Draining like there's no tomorrow whenever I need Virus Cores, or of course, against corrupted enemies.

First, I do any side-dungeons/quests available (like when party members ask for help) before I move ont o story areas. This is for buidling up levels & such.

If there's a break in the action and I have some stuff in my inventory, I'll take some time off to boost my weapons and armor in Myst Springs to the best they can be (hunting for hard-to-get stuff later on). In the case of elemental armor (like INFECTION & OUTBREAK) I'll usually mix-and-match, giving my guys a variety of armors. Gives them better protection all-around and more skills to use. Weapons I'll usually pick whatever best works with the characters natural elements and/or weapons with multiple-element skills.

Dungeons, I take plenty of Fairy Orbs. Though every so often I might explore blindly. I'll usually take a straightforward path, unless I'm buidilng levels or my Ryu Books. For fighting i usually get into the thick of it, fighting right htere with everyone (unless I figure doing otherwise is the better idea).

I tend to hoard scrolls, since I don't use them very mcuh, relying instead on the characters' own skills. Though I've started re-thinking that approach.

Finally, for parties, I'll often take whoever needs experience the most (and isn't required by game law to be there with me).

My typical approach is to attack and kill first. I may sometimes data drain but I hardly ever. 8)

I have a rather different approach. Someone hits from the front (this is usually if the monster is one of those big ones) then i hit it from behind while my wavemaster heals when we need it. This is why i hardly use Data Drain. Only when i need to.
