Phantasy Star: Fringes of Algo

Hey, in PS4 what are the most useless techniques?

Here is my list...

Before we start, I actually like all techniques in the game, but anyway...

1.Rimpa - Paralysis rarely happens, and it heals outside of battle once you're taking a few steps.Also, why does it need about 5 TP ? Why not a small bit like 3 ?

2.Arows - Sleeping only lasts for a bit and then stops.Also 9 TP is a bit to much, it should need only about 5.

3.Anti - Poison happens not a lot, that is all that is actually bad about it.

I can't think of any others.

Probably the debuffs. I remember them having really low hit%'s

There is a very handy tech called "Saner" and it increased agility, a.k.a Speed, well, Doran which is a agility lower must have been used on youtube's buffer about 100 times -_-

Also poison in PSIV isn't really that bad. In PSII you loose health every step I think? (or not?)

Rimpa and Arows ! They aren't really necessary and more, I think it's better to attack than use them

Rika: Yes, I know, the status curing Techniques are a waste of Technique Points that could be spent on Techniques like Foi, or Gra, or Shift, or Sar, but that's only because status effects are a rarity on this journey!
Rune: Tell that to Chaz.
Kyra: Oh, yeah. Poor guy; this whole adventure ruined him.
Chaz: (slumped against a wall, with hundreds of empty Antidote and Cure-Paral injectors sticking out of his head, shoulders, arms, neck, chest, back, and legs) Uuuuuuggggh
Rika: Not my fault. You told me to manifest stuff like Na Sar and Rever! ;_;
Kyra: I think his blood's more Antidote and Cure-Paral than actual blood, you guys...
Rune: Kyra, first thing you need to learn about being one of the Guardians of the Seal, or whatever the hell we are-- everything hates your boss.
Wren: Every opponent we fought seems to have preferred to target Chaz instead of the rest of us...
Chaz: (runs towards the group. His eyes are unfocused) GIMME DRUGS!!!
Rika: Still think Rimpa and Anti are worthless, Rune? >_<
Rune: (punches Chaz in the face as hard as he can) Totes.

Actually it's the same as in 3. You can't heal until you remove it.

Of course, it's nowhere near as a pain to deal with in 2, because there's far fewer enemies that use it on you.

I've used Arows and Rimpa constructively a few times in my current playthrough. I agree that most stat debuffs are the worst: Doran and Gelun. They don't work on bosses and the same TP could probably be used to wipe randoms. Their skill-equivalent friends Illusion, Shadow and Telele aren't any better... in fact I'd say Illusion is worse, since you can't tell who it had affected.

EDIT: Seals is also really silly. I mean, the idea is cool, but there's only 7 enemies in the game who use techs who are vulnerable to Seals. And they're also vulnerable to Rimit, which is a better effect.

True that SEALS is not really necessary...In fact there are a lot of techniques where you are not so sure of their effectiveness...
