However, Othercide does play with some innovative concepts for the genre.īefore we go into that, let’s briefly talk about the story. I mean, look at my review of Langrisser I & II to get an idea. If you know me, I do love my strategy RPGs. That’s pretty much the way this SRPG works. The first question I would ask my readers here is: “Do you like XCOM?”. Now, the real question is whether the journey is fun since the destination is clearly going to take some work to get to… So, is it? You’re going to die and start over from the beginning and hope you get further. That’s pretty much it in broad strokes, to be honest. You will make mistakes, you will die, and you will start all over again. For more information, check out our guides and features hub.This RPG makes one thing very clear. One boosts you XP gain by 25% and the other allows you to skip an era. You’ll get two Remembrances after this fight. Once the Scythedancer joins the fight, though, you can make mincemeat of her. Much later, though, the Maid will start buffing or healing herself based on the actions you take, and this is combined with careful placement so you’re not accidentally standing on a spot that leaves you open to damage. Thankfully, The Maid’s interrupts can also get interrupted (so get your Soulsingers’ Intercepting Rounds to safeguard teammates).

The Maid boss fight in Othercide relies heavily on careful planning due to her reaction skills that interrupt your attacks. She can continuously rupture the Maid’s armor and deal a ton of damage. That’s when the Mother spawns the Scythedancer Daughter. The good news is that your squad of four will have a reinforcement once you bring the Maid below 10,000 health. Lost Love (reaction) – interrupt any boost/buff and deal 1,200+ damage.Vow of Obedience (reaction) – gain a bit of initiative anytime a Daughter does something.As for Deception, it hits multiple tiles (seen below), but there are some safe spots near her.Īt 50% health, the Maid enters phase three: Likewise, take note of Forbidden Love which could kill Soulsingers easily.

Deception (charged) – AoE damage with knockbackįor phase two, try to avoid moving around too much unless necessary.Forbidden Love (reaction) – interrupts ranged attack and does 1,200+ damage.Vow of Poverty (reaction) – heals the boss for 100 HP whenever you move.The more you attack her, the more often she’ll go to the front of the timeline system.Ĭollection, meanwhile, fires at an eight-pointed pattern:Īt 80% health, the Maid boss enters phase two: The Maid boss’ initiative also skyrockets thanks to Vow of Chastity. She’ll swipe at your melee unit if this is active. The first and foremost danger here is Sisterly Love. Transfiguration (phase transition) – after reaching 80% health resets initiative to zero (takes a turn after you’re done).Collection (charged) – throws a scythe that drains 1,200 damage heals the Maid boss for that amount.Sisterly Love (reaction) – interrupts melee attack and does 1,200+ damage.Vow of Chastity (reaction) – increases initiative whenever she’s attacked.

The Maid is the third boss in Othercide, and she’s going to clean house before she’s through with your team.
