100k-ish if I remember it right?
Their level, mana and stat doesn't change in all difficulty.
So in SH mode, they are mainly your guinea pigs for testing damage rather than a good mana source

Yeah I know, but that one isn't exactly balanced for normal mode levels.

Just beat up shun on hard, the difficulty was totally different. On normal finding 2 parties where everyone can survive the aura photon break was the challenge. On hard, it doesn't seem to do any more damage than it did on normal. Finding someone who could take 20k damage of melee smacks afterwards since photon break ate up all their block actions was the challenge.

I'm wondering if aura photon break is pretty feeble damage-wise on sh too (but still a bish since it eats up your blocks/actions).

[Volandum]

Oh Super Hard he gets 4 uses of Aura Photon Break, and I think his World hits very hard.

If you have Kouin, exhausting Shun's Aura Photon Break is easy on any mode. Protection (or Trusscade on lower levels) really makes it too simple. Yuuto can also survive solo against Shun, even on SH at nearly equal levels. It really comes down to have Start Support healing skills. That or you can action deny Shun with Elemental Blast from Halion.

Koin went from full health to less than 10% for me despite casting Gaia's embrace or whatever it's called (which offers about the same protection as protection). He can't take the worlds and cast protection alone since it doesn't let you assign him as an all-rounder (at least not in some paths). Anyway I'm not asking for help with how to beat it. I'm just curious if the damage you take comes from the photon break, or the worlds on super hard, as I said, on normal, the break was damaging, but his melee was pretty feeble (even without the blocks), on hard, the break was a joke, but the melees with no defense were utterly brutal.

[Mane]

The thing that might kill you in SH is not the break (unless you're using Esperia), but his melee attacks.

I have a question about Orpha's route, with spoiler:

After the Extra Orpha Mission at the beginning of Chapter 4, before Mission 18, Orpha suddenly disappears from my team. Usually I wouldn't panic, but I replayed the extra mission and there's no indication whatsoever that Orpha disappears. The last thing that had anything to do with Orpha was when Yuuto woke up, everyone has fainted and all "five" of them returned to Rakios, which would include Orpha. Can someone confirm that this is normal or if I missed some dialogue saying what happened to Orpha?

Thanks.

[Volandum]

Orpha should indeed leave your team.

Spoilers:

Rebirth should have awoken, making everyone forget about Orpha. Five... is that Yuuto, Aselia, Esperia, Youtia and Io?

[KholdStare88]

Oh I see, so the 5 includes Youtia, and not the 5 combat characters. Subtle. I just kinda feel cheated...I tried my best to level her up painfully just so she was finally a bit usable...then she leaves.

I know how you feel, I personally think she has the best storyline though.
