Summary: Mostly spent this session around the Veldt accumulating more Rage for Gau.
The Veldt
-Flew over to the Veldt. Most of this was just getting new Rage (SO MANY NEW MONSTERS!) and trying out there ability.
-It looks like Edgar’s Chainsaw has two attacks. He either spins with it for massive single target damage or dons a hockey mask and has a chance to outright kill the target.

Setzer’s Slots
-I got to test Setzer’s slot mechanic out a lot. I’m probably wrong on some of what I concluded, but here’s the system as best I can understand it:
Common:
-First slot chocobo. Very high chance of triple chocobos regardless of when I stop the next two slots. This results in the delightful Chocobo Stampede for group damage.
-First slot diamond. Very high chance of triple diamonds for Prismatic Flash, group damage.
Uncommon:
-First slot airship. Tough to line up three, but when I get three, Setzer summons the Blackjack to “Divebomb” the enemies.
-First slot dragon. Even tougher to line up. Three dragons summons Bahamut for Megaflare.
Rare:
-First slot BAR. Very tough to line up. I’ve gotten a bit better at timing this, and can pretty consistently get the first two as BARs, but the third slot feels purely random because it moves so fast. I’ve seen two results from triple BAR. First is Bahamut’s “Megaflare,” and the second is where some big whale floats across the screen with this watery damage effect. I was so surprised that I didn’t catch the name of it.
-First slot 7: ??? I’ve seen “7” on the slot wheels, but haven’t been able to get it ever. Probably something awesome and overpowered. Hopefully I’ll see it one of these days!

Glossary of New Rage Abilities Acquired
Onion Knight: Imp
Imps.
Sergeant:Reflect on a single ally
Chippirabbit: Raise on a random ally or punch. I didn’t use this when I had a dead party member, so I don’t know if it prioritizes the dead. I’d hope so.
Corporal: Swing (heavy single target (“st”) physical damage)
Veil Dancer: Blizzara
Chaser: Plasma (heavy st thunder)
Wild Rat: Scratch (moderate st)
Flan: Sticky Goo (Slow?)
Anguiform: Aqua Breath (aoe water)
