What do you even get out of my knights anyway. Is it just the mats for the weapons, or are there any max dmg/stat bonuses to raising knights?
Pretty much just for the materials as far as I'm aware, and maybe some gold/exp. At least from what I get out of Rixx's post. Data mining it isn't going to happen by the sounds of things either so only thing I can do is try and get the npc screens translated so I have some idea what is being said and just level them up.
I wonder if I can go on some missions with them, as I did obtain a few new keywords after G20 completion. So maybe I'll get to fight more Zebach there?
Even if Zebach was a Raid Boss, he'd be boring. He doesn't deal much damage, his attacks are predictable, and overall he's a real snore.
Let's just say the Prophets and the Black Wizard were more of a pain in the neck in the final than the Zebach ever were. I just ran around it as Zebach had a set attack pattern, the big one anyways. Use Zone of Agony 4 times, then swat at you and stomp. You can prevent getting kb'd/damaged by just using shield of trust and spamming skill of choice. Rinse and repeat until dead.
Also looking at the data files, there's only 4 skills recorded for Zebach, Staff Bash which is him swatting at you, Stomp, Zone of Agony, and Rotation which might just be what it uses to switch Aggro on the fly as Girgashiy had the same.
No HP reducing move, nothing that imprisons you, grabs you, and no super damaging attack aside from Zone of Agony which is completely easy to run out of the circles and avoid.
