Hopefully all of U will get the game soon since it's a cool game. Yet the style of RPG sticks with the game realy deep that some of the battle is hard (literaly...(-_-!).. take Shou's battle 4 example).
Here's some battle strategy of the Noise battle and Shinigami corp. members battle.
The Noise:
1.) Dragon(??):
Strngth - decent, Magic - high, Defense - high, Aggresiveness - decent.
Badge requirements: Volcanic blast, projectile badges (patrol shot or discharge) & Barier
Suitable party members: All (Neku + Shiki, Neku + Joshua, Neku + Beat)
>> To put it simple, this type of noise is rarely seen (rememberin' that it's one of the early parts of the games' boss battle) and it's strong . Be sure to level up the Volc. blast badge and barier badge before facin' this Noise. It's a strong opponent, but it's quite weak againts Neku's Volcanic blast badge, although itwon't do toomuchdamage at a time, it'll delay its movements. Use 3 or 4 strikes from the badge then quickly use the Barier badge to recover extra damages from its counter attack. When the V. blast badge is reloadin', use projectile badges - for example the patrol shot badge - to give extra damage. keep doin' the process till' it's down for good. (Use fussion attack for faster battle).
2.) Wolf
Strngth - low to decent, Magic - low, Defense - low to high, Aggresiveness - decent to high.
Badge requirements: Any badge will do...XD
Suitable party members: All (Neku + Shiki, Neku + Joshua, Neku + Beat)
>> Ur ordinary street puppy that' easily beaten, Any of Neku's badge will do decent damage to em', Shiki's combo attack and Joshua's 3 chain combo will dead-lock em' too, 4 Beat it'll be easier since his defense and strngth is high. Although,U got to watch for red wolfs at Shinigami corps chamber, they're faster and packs more of the herd than the street ones.....
3.) Bear
Strngth - decent, Magic - low, Defense - decent, Aggresiveness - low.
Badge requirements: Velocity crash, Black ball, Piercing pillar.
Suitable party members: All (Neku + Shiki, Neku + Joshua, Neku + Beat)
>> Same as the wolfs, they're commonly found in almost all of the area. They have huge claws and that means it'll cause troublesome damage if we get to close to it. Use V. crash, Black ball or Piercin' pillar for faster battle. Any badge will acctualy do but the 3 above is the most effective to evade from extensive damage.
4.) Frog
Strngth - low to decent, Magic - low to decent , Defense - decent to high, Aggresiveness - low to decent.
Badge requirements: Flame blast, Teleport, Black ball, Burst shot, Volcanic blast.
Suitable party members: Any (Neku +Shiki, Neku + Joshua, Neku + Beat)
>> Frog Noises are always showin' up with 2 or 3 of em' at once, one at each end of the DS screen. Use Neku's Flame blast for starter, quickly use teleport badge and tap at a different position for Neku to land on usin' the DS stylus. That way, U can prevent multiple damage done by the frogs. Use the Black ball badge for an even easier battle, after the frog Noises are sucked in to a grouped position,use the Volc. blast or burst shot to kill multiple of these Noises at once.
5.) Penguins
Strngth - low, Magic - high, Defense - low, Aggresiveness - low to decent.
Badge requirements: Any badge with fire element.
Suitable party members: All (Neku + Shiki, Neku + Joshua, Neku + Beat)
>> Perhaps the weakest Noise there is in the game,but the Shinigami corps Penguin Noises are stronger coz they're more agile than the street ones. Use anythin' that's fast and flaming to kill em' quickly.
6.) Oviskantas (unknown form)
Strngth - decent, Magic - decent, Defense - decent, Aggresiveness - decent.
Badge requirements: Any badge will do.
Suitable party members: All (Neku + Shiki, Neku + Joshua, Neku + Beat)
>>pretty easy, just keep a beatdown on him, and keep an eye on your HP. Its not too hard.
7.) Shark
Strngth - decent, Magic - low, Defense - decent, Aggresiveness - low .
Badge requirements: Any badge with fire element.
Suitable party members: All (Neku + Shiki, Neku + Joshua, Neku + Beat)
>>shoot the fin, and when he goes under, move around and shockwave him or use Flame blast when he pops up. Heal often after getting hit by its counter attack.
p.s. there're still a lot of Noise types I haven't listed coz I haven't found out the effective way to kill em', I'll try experimentin' a lil' soon and post the rest of the Noise stategy later. XD
Shinigami corporation members.
1.) Uzuki Yashiro.
Strngth - decent, Magic - decent, Defense - low, Aggresiveness - decent.
Badge requirements: Any badge will do.
Suitable party members: All (Neku + Shiki, Neku + Joshua, Neku + Beat)
>>She's the most troublesome and still most pathetic member of the Shinigami corp. member. She'll use a Gatling gun-like weapon to attack U and your party member, it can be dodged by usin' Volc. blast to delay her from doing so. Use barier badge if U got hit by her gatling gun attack, then counter her with a well placed Flame blast or Burst shot badge. After that, quickly use the Volc. blast badge to delay her counter attack while your Flame blast and Burst shot badge reloads.... Do so till' she flees the battle field. She'll often show up with Kariya most of the encounter. She may also summon some Noises to support her, but it's rarely done by her and theones shown upis low classed to middle classed Noise......XD
2.) Koki Kariya
Strngth - decent, Magic - high, Defense - decent, Aggresiveness - decent.
Badge requirements: Any badge will do.
Suitable party members: Neku + Joshua, Neku + Beat
>> He almost always sho up with Uzuki at his side, this dude packs quite a lot of elemental damage. Keep usin' the same strategy as Uzuki, but use Frezze badge first to slow him down. As 4 dodgin' hisattack, just keep running upward and downward to dodge most of his attacks. Use fussion attack to give large damage at em'.
3.) Yodai Higashizawa
Strngth - very high, Magic - low, Defense - high, Aggresiveness - high.
Badge requirements: Frezze, Volc. blast, Flame blast, Black ball, Teleport, Velocity Crash.
Suitable party members: (*)Preffered party - Neku + Shiki, Neku + Beat. (*) risky but effective party: Neku + Joshua.
>> Joshua isn't really suitable for Yodai's battle since Joshua's attack R mostly magic, but his fussion attack with Neku packs quite a lot of damage, so it's up toU to use him or not, Shiki is slim and is able to dodge all kinds of Yodai's attack but receives a lot of damage if she got hit, so be careful. Beat can just barge to Yodai and skatin' at em' quickly and U just need to heal when Beat's HP is at half. At the start of the battle, use the Lv. 2 Frezze badge if available to slow him down and lower his attack. Afterwards, use Black ball Lv.3 to take em' to the center of the screen while he's doin' his blocking stance when being sucked by the blackball, teleport to his back and use any strong badge U got. Keep doing this and U'll get the upperhand.
4.) Mitsuki Konishi (a.k.a Mikki)
No clue, still experimenting with it. (gomen)
5.) Shou Minamimoto
No clues as well (-_-!), his battle is just plain hard, still experimenting with it too. XP
6.) Megumi Kitaniji
Haven't got to em yet.... I'm still playin' at the 3rd day of Chapter 3....(-_-!).....
p.s. I'll post the rest of the strategy soon. hope it'll help ya play it soon.
