I've found that the crystals that have X% chance of inflicting dry/heavy/etc. on hit are quite useful, you can really turn the tide of battle when your enemies are weak to, y'know, everything. But Glenn's attack that inflicts oil and Victor's that does dry are pretty useless, like you said: just a waste of a turn.

It gets really brutal when I hit, say, an enemy with fire weakness with oil. Feels like cheating.

Whoop whoop

Is this a sky armour fight? Has anyone on your team got inact? It’s a game changer, especially late on. Poison works really well too. Do as much gear 2 fighting as you can get away with too.

Lol np mate, sorry it's causing frustrations!!

Yep inact is priceless, you can't inflict it on one enemy twice in succession, but if you have lots of enemies, it's so useful. Also, I remember some of the sky armour weapons being more useful than the others. i think the more useful guns inflicted blind? which is also a super useful skill. In the non sky-armour battles I would always use the ninja girl's move that blinded all enemies for one turn

I remember using Glenn's oil attack quite frequently actually because I'd follow it up with the mage girl's (forgot her name) super fire attack and hit them for silly damage

Yeah, I'm hitting him (the Sky Armour boss fight) with blind.

In non-Sky Armour fights, I quite often do just that, but I use the gems that give X% chance to inflict oil or whatever, rather than the debuff attacks. Glenn and Victor have a chance to inflict dry or oil, so I can follow up with Lenne, and she has heavy strike, which I can follow up with Victor's earth spell. Plus Lenne has "your super move fills 2x faster when you do elemental damage" crystals, which is delicious synergy.

Ninja girl (my turn to go blank on names), I've set up with lots of agility boosting stuff, then coupled it with boosts to critical damage and chance to do criticals. I have her on the same row as Robb, so I can hit them with poison, then switch him out and use ninja lass to inflict bleed.
