Screams a lot, which is usually exactly Onsen's fault. Hapless golem sponge and surprised--though surprisingly effective--shield.

Pretty happy with how the stats are now, 124 Int/50 Qck/34 Vit. All of the testing I've done with these stats has been with a noncontributing fodder in the party (not even potions). Heals are pretty beefy, contuses are decent but not scratch levels of damage, turns are more than frequent enough to keep guard/anticipate up, and Vit is high enough that it lasts forever. With these stats, you can drag a useless lump of fodder with NO stats or stones for ages, keeping xp streaks up, and even kill bosses regularly, though usually need a reset after the boss. I find I can start with nearly every starter pack, though of course it's easier if at least one of the pack is a caster; I can even easily start out with 4 packs if half of them are casters.

In my normal turn order, I have the sponge haste and guard the warrior, warrior gets three turns to scratch/elim, and then sponge anticipates after the first enemy round. For bosses, I use a different turn order. I haste the mage sponge instead of the warrior to keep up good contuse/guard/anticipate cycles. They would go faster and more smoothly with contributing fodder, but enh, that's fine.

Team order: sponge/warrior/fodder
