Yes; monsters are not very interesting in that sense.

Steal is affected by evasion, and Chantage is foiled by Petrify.

I was planning to have a ninja or thief that abused abandon+protect/shell to rob the enemy team blind (well, steal their ribbons and perfumes anyway). I couldn't figure out a good way to make it work and not die horribly.

EDIT: But this is supposed to be fun so now my Chemist steals. Earlier post has been edited.

Code:
Cersei
Female Wizard
Brave 70, Faith 40
Fight for Life

Black Magic (None)
Draw Out (Muramasa)
MP Switch
Magic Attack UP
Move-MP UP

Wizard Rod
-none-
Flash Hat
Robe of Lords
Chantage

Jaime
Female Geomancer
Brave 70, Faith 70
Run Like A Rabbit

Elemental (All)
Math Skill (All, White: Holy, Esuna)
Abandon
Defense UP
Teleport

Rune Sword
Escutcheon II
Thief Hat
Chameleon Robe
Setiemson
Kindly ignore Jaime's sex change.

The biggest thing I wavered on was whether to go with all math instead of the above. I'm worried he'll spend too much time casting Haste on himself, but that might be worthwhile. We'll see.

EDIT: Loser's bracket changelog:

Cersei's AI: Save Fading Life -> Fight for Life
Cersei's Faith: 70 -> 40
Cersei's Draw Out: Muramasa, Kiyomori, Murasame -> Muramasa
Cersei's Accessory: Setiemson -> Chantage
Cersei's Armor: Wizard Robe -> Robe of Lords
Jaime's AI: Save Fading Life -> Run Like A Rabbit
Jaime's Armor: Robe of Lords -> Chameleon Robe
Jaime's Accessory: Chantage -> Setiemson
Jaime's Hat: Ribbon -> Thief Hat
Jaime's Math Support: All Skills All Sets -> White: Holy, Esuna
Jaime's Reaction Ability: Blade Grasp -> Abandon
Jaime's Support Ability: Magic Defense UP to Defense UP

Whew. Trying to turn these guys into two focused killing machines.

Move MP Up

Mace of Zeus
Ageis Shield

I really wish there was a source of innocent, that Draw Out oracle looked really nice on paper.

Kari: Changed Cure 4 to Cure 3, changed Doubt Faith to Foxbird, changed AI from save fading life to run like a rabbit, added reraise.

Joan: Added Speed Break, changed Concentrate to Maintenance.

Tempest
Female Knight

Save fading life

Battle Skill (All)
Item (Elixir, Remedy, Phoenix Down, Holy Water)
Damage Split
Concentrate
Move +2

Excalibur
Escutcheon 2
Grand Helmet
Maximillian
Salty Rage
edit: Changes in bold.

Changes:
Jean:
Blast Gun -> Faith Rod

Counter Magic -> MP Switch
Equip Gun -> Magic Defend Up
Fly -> Move MP Up

Tempest:
Faith 70 -> 40

Blood Sword -> Excalibur
Venetian Shield -> Escutcheon 2

Battle Skill (all except for Magic Break) -> Battle Skill (All)

Okay, if everyone is going to have a female knight I'ma clearly have to do something else. Being just like everyone else just ain't how I roll.

Innocent blocks casting, though. It's the same as having zero Faith (unless you're Malak).

I will double-check the ribbon resists tomorrow. (Thief Hat 4 lyfe) Ribbon is totally foiled by Head Break, though.

Exactly, seems perfect to dodge math skill and just get into someone's face with non faith MA attacks.

EDIT: Fixed my duped gear.

Evasion is for the weak.

Made a couple minor changes to my team. OP is also changed, but here they are again

Team Dynamic Duo
Quote:
Batman
Male Ninja
70Br/40Fa
Save Fading Life

Throw (Knight Sword)
Punch Art (Earth Slash, Wave Fist, Chakra, Stigma Magic, Revive)
Blade Grasp
Martial Arts
Move+3

empty
empty
Thief Hat
Power Sleeve
Vanish Mantle
Quote:
Robin
Male Lancer
70Br/40Fa
Save Fading Life

Jump (all)
Item (Phoenix Down, Elixer, Remedy, Holy Water)
Abandon
AttackUp
Move HP up

Javelin II
Venetian Shield
Grand Helmet
Robe of Lords
Feather Mantle
All I can say is good luck trying to kill, or even hit, Robin. He's like... invincible, near as I can tell. Who needs Chantage when you can just not die in the first place?

And dtsund, why throw Axes, when you can throw Knight Swords? You'd get to throw Chaos Blades, man! 40 WP vs 16 WP, seems like a no brainer.

So much of this tournament is going to come down to how kind the number generator is, and to who.

So... interestingly enough, BMG has it both ways. In the equipment section:

Code:
A9 Cachusha         20    0  20000  (50)  Block: Dead, Petrify, Invite,
                                                 Confusion, Blood Suck, Stop,
                                                 Berserk, Charm, Sleep
AA Barette          20    0  20000  (51)  Block: Undead, Darkness, Silence, 
                                                 Frog, Poison, Slow, Don't Act,
                                                 Don't Move, Death Sentence
And in the status section:

Code:
[Frog]
Block with:  108 Gems, Cachusha, Ribbon
etc.

The Final Fantasy wikia confirms that Torzelbaum and the status section of the BMG are correct. I'll update the Autobattle wiki to reflect this.

Good point, didn't know Ninjas could throw knight swords. Fixed above.

Unless you're one of those people who gets free Chaos Blades in the deep dungeon without cheating, by catching the ones that ninjas throw at you down there.

I made some changes to my team by editing the original post. Just wanted to make sure Mogri knew.

Mogri, are you analyzing the metagame in detail here before coming out with your own team?

Lol, Mogri's about to go hard this time. Scouting everyone out and then countering us all with a Excalibur weilding knight and a Chameleon robe wearing wizard + math skill + holy.

I was gonna try and make a hardcore team as OP as I could make it, but when I thought of the Dynamic Duo theme, I didn't even want to consider Math Skill shenanigans anymore. Despite the emphasis on flavor, I still think they're pretty beast. I definitely didn't skimp on them.

No, I'm just taking a break. I honestly haven't examined at half of the teams, but I can tell you I was considering the Excalibur/Chaos Knight that dtsund was using. That is hot stuff. Talk Skill was also on my radar.

But I can't just copy dtsund, now can I? I'm still weighing my options.

But... that's my party (well, priest for Raise 2 and Esuna and a speed boost instead of wizard).

EDIT: yeah, and the Chaos + Excalibur combo is hot. I was really considering that too (mostly because breaks should be pretty damn off the hook with 40 WP and then a second chance if that misses).

I think after this we should have a tournament with just Oracles, Mediators and Time Mages. I'm not sure if that's a joke or not.

So it is... I hadn't realized that angle was being taken already. Holy must've gotten lost in those other white magic spells.

Can't fault you for it though. I was totally gonna go for something like that until I realized I could make the goddamn batman instead.

I want to do this, or something similar. Like, there might be other classes we can add too, like Bards and Dancers.

EDIT: Thieves and Mimes too, why not?
