One Piece Odyssey <\/em>has a lot of wrinkles in its battle system. Although you may have expected a very basic, familiar system to be in place, the game actually does something different that can take a bit of getting used to. You\u2019ll need to understand weaknesses, areas, buffs, and attack ranges to make the most of the game\u2019s combat, so this guide will break down everything you need to know to get Luffy one step closer to becoming King of the Pirates. Or at least getting off Waford in. . . one piece. Yeah, yeah, boo if you want.<\/p>\n To start with, One Piece Odyssey <\/em>uses a rock-paper-scissors weakness system. There are three character types \u2013 power, speed, and technique. Power is good against speed, speed is good against technique, and technique is good against power. This works exactly as you\u2019d expect. If a power character hits a speed character with any attacks, that speed character will take a much higher amount of damage. If a power character hits another power character, the damage will be much lower. If a power character hits a technique character, the damage will be at its lowest. You can look at character stats to understand just how it works.<\/p>\n Power characters are resistant to power attacks but not as resistant to them as technique characters are. This means that you want to carefully organize your party so that you take advantage of your enemies. By default, you technically have three characters of each type (although you will only have all three power members for most of the game, as the third speed and technique characters don\u2019t show up until much later). Let\u2019s say you\u2019re in a boss battle against a speed character, such as Rob Lucci. You want your power characters \u2013 Luffy, Sanji, and Chopper \u2013 to be hitting him and taking his hits, as that will maximize your damage potential while keeping your crew from taking huge amounts of damage from him.<\/p>\n
