Also, just curious, but how are Jihl Nabaat, Gilgamesh, and Omega once they join your party, anyway? What kind of uber attack sets can I expect from them?
Omega and a monster named Chichu are the two characters that are considered the best COMs in the game. I've never used Omega but from what I read:
Omega is powerful, got good HP, and he's got an incredible attacks speed. The problem is that he has a Leadenstrike passive which slows his ATB down. But if you play your cards right he can be unstoppable barrage. Also apparently he has an unique AoE attack.
(You can put passive abilities on monsters- and Omega is best with Attack ATB Charge II which recharges a little bit of his ATB bar every attack, and then Siphon Boost II which enhances ATB Charge II. Since he technically uses three strikes as one attack, the bar fills up almost all the way after he is finished using his ATB Bar).
I haven't felt the need to use Jihl but apparently she's a pretty unique as a sab. How, no idea. I think it has to do with doing a good amount of damage wounding because she's the go to sab if you want to wound Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh is more well rounded than Omega since he has a more balanced magic and strength stat and decent Ruin casting speed compared to Omega. He's apparently got some issues with making him a top tier COM, basically there's an attack he can do for like, one damage that happens occasionally, and has an undesirable learnt ability but I never had a problem with him.
Okay, me = stupid moment. I didn't recognize the name.
