Character Guide for Patapon 3
By Dennis Setiawan aka _Agidyne
7 July 2011
---------------------------------------------
=============
Introduction.
=============
This Guide is made to help questions for those players out there asking,
'Which one is better?' or 'What should I go for?' and such. Writing this, I
will do my best to not be biased, since I don't want to force people to do
something. This guide may only be published or used at www.gamefaqs.com. And
as a note, this will be my first FAQ post to www.gamefaqs.com. And as for
comments, which I don't really mind, If you really need to, E-mail at
[email protected]. Now, I don't think there's much more to say,
so let's move on!
================
Version History.
================
07/07/11-- The Beginning- Thought of the idea, started typing.
08/09/11-- Version 0.97 - The debut of this FAQ.
08/12/11-- Version 0.98 - Minor and some moderate corrections, planning
some big or many updates in the upcoming weeks.
08/24/11-- Version 0.99 - Added DoJ section, upcoming sections yet to come.
09/11/11-- Version 1.00 - The true legal version of the FAQ, ready to be
launched. Added some new stuffs and corrected some mistakes.
12/10/11-- Version 1.01 - After some hibernation, some minor mistakes were
corrected and restated the fact that I will make updates ASAP.
After version 1.00, there will be very few updates to this FAQ.
=========
Starters.
=========
First of all, What is this 'Character' which we're gonna discuss?
I'm not talking about Tekken or Street Fighter here. I'm talking about
Patapon 3, where you press 4 times and rest. Press. Rest. Sounds boring?
Then why play? Okay, now in Patapon 3, we call them 'Uberheroes' or UH for
short. There are a total of 21 different varieties of uberheroes which are
divided into 3 groups which are:
- The spear class
- The shield class
- The archer class
When creating a new game, you will be asked to choose your starting UH's
class. Choose carefully now, select which fits your style as you cannot
change that class until you level-up until level 15.
From now on, once you choose your starter, you do missions to level-up
your Uberhero until it unlocks new classes that are unique to each other.
I will not explain this specifically, you should seek other FAQs for this
matter.
With the discussions of the the UH's strengths and weaknesses, I'll put
ratings of the UHs. Please do note that the rating is purely based on
my opinion, so don't barge in later on to yell at me about the ratings,
but I'm more than welcome to hear about rating complaints, please also
provide reasonable reasons to why do you think the rating should be
changed and I'll think about it.
I will now present of the contents so far into something like this:

Do you throw it? or do you stab with it? either way, the spear-classes
here are your average hero who deal lots of damage, inflicts heavy and
occasional critical and has a moderate defense. The 7 different UH each
have their unique traits and skills. So, that's pretty much it.

considerable defense. Take care not to go in front of your
tank, it can cost you. Nice UH mode, with your skills maxed,
it just keeps getting better. Don't stop! Keep throwing! Go
Spearman!
Rating : Recommended (8.4).
-----------------------------------------------
A2. Kibbada [KIBB]
-----------------------------------------------

They can carry shields for extra protection.'

'Mad Charge' . Charge at foes at high speed with a glowing
mantle that boosts attack power. Hit hard, and back off!
This pretty much explains everything.
Overview : Your typical horse warrior. You gallop to your foes, and
back off. This can be annoying at times since even though
you defend, he will still charge forward. Very bad against
dying salamanders. He can carry shields and with mastered
class skill, gives you about 7-9 amount of hits, Great.
That 7-9 Hits is used to Burn, Freeze or to Stagger foes,
so Kibbada's use when maximized is epic. UH Mode, and
all is swept away. Ride your horses high, Paladin!
Rating : Useful (8.5).

Oh yes. A 20 second boost of attack that can be stacked up

Not to mention adding Team Aid 1&2, well... it makes it into
3.5X the damage. Not painful enough ?
Overview : Piekrons. Yes, they are capable of many things. Boosting your
power, Dazzle foes with lightning and they carry shields. They
are great but they are relatively weak in HP. Nevertheless, He

'Flamespin'. Plough forward while deflecting enemy ranged
attacks with flaming spears attached to rapidly spinning
wheels. This UH mode is used most effectively with long
reach weapons, Pikes. Your wheels will enlarge as large as
the pike. If you haven't seen a pike you should see it.
Really. And it also deflects projectiles. Nice UH mode.
Overview : Ah. Something new to the spear classes. These are melee
troops, They deal good damage. When equipped with pikes,
their reach is awesome. Mastering his class skill lets you
strike 6 times in 1 command, awesome. I'd recommend to free
1 set skill slot for Rain Dance if you have it or let your
army, Ton do it for the power-up you will get. So, overall,
Great spear class UH, with an average UH mode. Swimming in
the rain, Fish? Careful not being stabbed!

'Thwack-mash'. Attack with weapon-chariot combo. First,
knock down foe with weapon, then grind them with wheels of
chariot. What a cruel UH mode. The wheel part doesn't hurt
as much as it looks. (Too bad..) In here you really want
to tumble your enemy here, since it's great, breaks all
UH Mode.
Overview : These melee axe users are some heavy attackers, unstoppable
when attacking. Not really having the 'WOW' in defense,
they use chariots which are quite enough. Nice UH, but I
think he has this 'Reckless' nature. Because of how fast
he depletes his own HP (staying on the front line, duhh...)
that's why, he equips Greatsword! Smack 'em hard, Deer!

Uberhero Mode : Activate : O-O-[]-O
Combo : O-O-[]-O
'Shwoop-fling'. Attacks near and far simultaneously.
Throws spears to pierce far-away foes, and spin
wheels to toss those nearby. Meh. Those wheels will
mostly never hit. And the spear thrown, Does medium
damage. Not a very good UH Mode.
Overview : Oh yes. Angels. Or Birds? whatever. They are able
to use shields, chariots, and lances which makes
Charibassa great at defense, offense and support.
They heal, boost attack power, and are able to
inherit class skills from other spear-classes. And
Charibassa has probably the highest critical rate.
probably the highest rate in Patapon 3. They are great.
But you should minimize the use of your UH mode.
Rating : Extremely Versatile (8.8).
So that's it for spears. Lots of pointy spears there.
======================================================================
B. The Shield Class. [SHLD]
======================================================================
In this section I'm just gonna give introduction to the classes common
traits.
So okay, shields. When we're carrying a shield, we will use it to block
attacks, yes? That is the main purpose of shield classes here. To give
protection to those with weak HP and taking the brunt of damage from the
foes. They are not the best damage dealers, but some do. And some don't.
The 7 different UH each have their unique way to attack. And only with
the shield classes UH can you see their charged attacks have different
animations. For example, Taterazay's Uppercut and the Infamous OHKO
Blade charge of Grenburr's. So that's pretty much it.
-----------------------------------------------

'Energy Field'. An invisible shield protects the whole team.
Greatly reduces damage to team. Effect boosted by mastering
class skill. Remember, no matter how far are your teammates,
the buff is always there, with your allies. This enables
you to stay back, if you wish, and Chaka-chaka all the way!
Overview : Your typical shield bearer. Can't deal too much
damage, but he excels at supporting his team. While in
UH Mode, the entire team gets the Defense boost. He is a
well-balanced 'Tank' UH. Never fear, Taterazay is here!
Rating : Tanky yet Supportive (8.1).
------------------------------------------------
B2. Destrobo [DEST]

They are the ones to call when it comes to building
destruction. Because of not having very impressive damage

Overview : The evolution of Destrobo has made this Eco-friendly
warrior which yet again, not having 'WOW' damage, and
defense. But, this guy's UH Mode, makes you think twice.

releases prey during combo. Perfect for shield bearing foes.
It will take some time to lock a target. But once you lock,
you will NEVER release him (Unless you die). Note that it
only can target minions or Uber or Dark Heroes. Overall,
Great UH Mode.
Overview : Myamsars, despite having the same big body like Tondenga,
has much more agility and technique in his attacks, making
him an adept, swift assassin. His ability to truly ruin one
foe he locks in is truly remarkable. But, for more advanced
tips on Myamsars, please refer to the following extract
written by Molivious :
'When you hit ~0.18 attack speed, it's best that you stop
putting effort on taking it lower. Since the animation
limit of Myamsars are about 11-13 attacks, excessive
attack speed are a waste (unlike Alosson, who has nearly
infinite animation limits). Instead, focus on increasing
his strength or critical rate.'
'The "Spoon and Fork" build doesn't work on normal pons,
so most of the time, Shiv/Blade or Shiv/Shiv S.U combo
beats the normal weapons in terms of damage. And you can
get Slash Master set skill from Grenburr too.'

'Mega shield'. Summon a huge shield that protects the rear
lines. 10% of damage received by shield transfers to hero.
Great tanky UH mode. But the 10% damage absorption is
something you should look out for. You might end up killing
yourself. Not a very good UH Mode.
Overview : The ultimate tank is here! Dropping their swords to carry
greatshields, they are great in defense and not-so-bad at
HP. Your damage output will be severely decreased though.
Now you attack with your greatshields. Minimum damage with
quite high Knockback ratio. Not good. You shouldn't attack,
though. but instead, keep drumming the Chaka-Chaka! Raise
your shields high, Sheep!
Rating : Full-out Tanky, and yet suicidal (7.7).

'Guillotine'. Leap up high, spin in the air, and descend
on foes with a great swing of a giant weapon. Major damage!
Like a guillotine. Leap, then crash. Bam! Secondary blast
affected by Zapper class skill.
Overview : On the contrary to Guardira, this guy drops his shield to
carry Greatswords. Greatswords. They're called greatswords
because they are great! Even though he can't carry shields,
He has an extraordinary HP due to greatswords granting
lots of bonus HP and resistances. Not the best tanker, but
he's best attacker of all of them! The best one-hitters in
the game, they can deal 999999 damage easily with critical.
But with all of this, he's a very slow mover. Jump high,
and bring them down, Demon!
Rating : Very Useful (8.9).
So that's it for shields. They come in lots of varieties.

C. The Archer Class. [ARCH]
======================================================================
In this section I'm just gonna give introduction to the classes common
traits.
Oh yes. Archers. My favorite. You got a bow in your hand, what will you do?
Fire it. Where? Somewhere far from the target. That gives you the idea of
Archers in Patapon 3. They do quite powerful long-range attacks from a safe
distance behind the front lines. But they have a very weak defense. Much
weaker than Spear-classes. That is why they stand behind their shields and
spears. And since they shoot projectiles into the air, the destination of the
projectile is affected by wind conditions. Note this. Arrows, Sounds, and
spores travel the best when there is a tailwind. Well, that's pretty much it.

C1. Yumiyacha [YUMI]

'Meteo Arrow'. Fire a barrage of arrows into the sky which
fall down a moment later and impale enemies, causing heavy
damage. The amount arrows fired is equals to the level of
your quickshot times two and your attack speed. Having an
attack speed less than 2.00 makes you do the same command
twice in 1 measure. So if you have Quickshot 6 and you are
using Raijinpon's Bow (Attack speed 1.62), You will be
firing 6 X 2 X 2 = 24 arrows in one measure. And it has
already burn effects by itself, too. Great UH Mode.
Overview : Your basic archer. Shoots arrows from the rear to deal
some damage. Your UH Mode should be used at all times when
it is possible cause it is the best way to deal deal the
most damage. Favorable Tailwinds makes arrows travel
further. What's more to say? Rain 'em arrows, Archer!
Rating : Outclassed by Alossons (8.0).

'Arrow Shower'. Rapidly fire glowing arrows! Power of glow
enhances with high volume. Powerful weapon when fired
rapidly. Oh yes, get attack speed 4, and fire away! Not
having a good damage in one arrow, but in many chaos is
made. Get a very quick attack speed for this one.
Overview : Alosson, the speed demon. Easily reaches the attack speed
of 0.13 with this guy. You will just do UH Mode, and your
foes are wasted. One thing though.Archer classes will have
a tough time hitting foes that moves a lot and foes that
get in close. Watch out for this. I am stressing this issue
to Alosson because he is a guy who really needs hits on
his arrows. Overall, Great UH, Great UH Mode, and awesome
rapid-firing capability. How many arrows have you fired,
Hedgehog? Shall I count your spikes?
Rating : Deadly, but requires positioning (9.0).

'Mucharapapa'. Fire three sonic balls per shot. The balls
bounce about unpredictably and relentlessly inflict damage
upon foes. The balls stay longer than ordinary balls, other
than that and increased damage, No obvious changes, Except
for the colour. Not the best or the worst one.
Overview : Wondas. Support-type dogs that can also deal some damage.
They use horns, which fire balls that bounce. They cause
quite some stagger, but other than that, nothing much. A
good support UH that just gives you the buffs to win.
Blow the horns, Dog!(Not in a harsh way...)
Rating : Great with large teams (8.4).

* One very common misconception of this one :
'Your HP cap WILL remain as it was.'
An example. Your HP will be reduced from
100/100 to 25/100, NOT to 25/25.
Uberhero mode : Activate : O-O-[]-O
Combo : O-O-[]-O
'Airborne Threat'. Fire poisonous spores into the sky to
inflict poison damage to all foes. Destination determined
by wind. Yes, like all projectiles, they are affected by
tailwind. but for this one, I think it's better to shoot
normal sonic balls due to the insane attack speed. But,
this is your choice.
Overview : Jamsch. These variation of Wondas deal less damage in the
exchange of a ridiculous attack speed and the extremely
high status effects rate. Causing trouble is what they do
best. Attacking very quickly is how the trouble's made.
Get it? Your Charge attack isn't bad either, your choice.
The 'Troublemaker' UH. Ruin the foe, Mushroom! But careful
not to touch your own sonic balls now!
Rating : The destroyer (9.0).

'Armageddon'. Countless shooting stars coalesce and form
magic fireballs which rain down upon the entire Earth. The
number of meteors falling down is affected by your attack
speed. Go get Bunny Hood and Lilith Shoes and see it for
yourself. This UH Mode is not at par of what Oohoroc can
really do. Really. You'd better be off with doing charge
attacks rather than this one.
Overview : The darkest magicians being able to cast even the most
holy and sacred spells. That's Oohoroc. Doing all sorts
of magic, from the basics like Fire and Lightning, to
Holy and Darkness spells. To get the secret, powerful
and epic sorcery spells, you need to do lots of grinding
with the 3 other spells. It will be totally worth it.
The UH that sucks when played for the 1st time, but
Godlike when players have played a lot with him. Now,
which staff would you use this time, Monkey?
Rating : Various arsenal of spells (8.9).

'Healing chateau'. Creates a gigantic ice castle that emits
a visible energy which gradually heals allies. Remember that
the Chateau is still a building, so it can be brought down.
When it happens, You will lose your UH Mode and you will
tumble for a second (for reasons unknown). That's not good.
But the Chateau's healing rate is high, so go for it.
Great UH Mode.
Overview : Hm.. your full-time support UH who can do lots of healing.
Even his attack don't do damage, and don't even ask his
charge attack. All related to freezing and ice. Brrr....

- Cannon : Glowing shells.
- Blunderbuss/Howitzer : Piercing fire spray.
- Laser : Ultra ginormous laser.
UH Mode varies in weapon. And no combos. *Sigh*. The UH
Mode is nothing very odd, just an upgrade of your normal
attacks I guess. But still, I think it's better to do UH
mode rather than doing 2 attacks.
Overview : Cannogabang, the living artillery. Man, this guy is
strong. He can carry heavy artillery for such a small
dude. But sadly, he doesn't have the power to lift the
weapons properly. Each 3 weapons have their own purposes.
The cannon is made for building demolition. The howitzer
is made for large bosses. The laser is made for crowd
control. So, your choice. Piercing laserz, Crushing
cannonz, and Scattering Howitzerz. Whoa, point that thing
away! Over there! Dragons! Ready, Aim, Fire!
Rating : Easy and powerful (9.0).
So that's it for archers. There's some really cool shooters there.

D1. Depths of Jealousy (DoJ) [DEOJ]
------------------------------------------------
Welcome, fellow end-gamers, to the depths of Tomb of Tolerance! If you think
Tomb of Tolerance was a major pain... DoJ will burst your heads. Twice harder
than ToT (at least, be warned) and only TWO floors, yes, two floors. Sounds
easy, right? Well, I will now give you an insight of these 2 levels and you
will see what are you going to face, DoJ, the evil dungeon that has captured
so many players playing it over and over again, some people have been doing
it for ~700 hours. Feel the pain of them!
Depths of Jealousy.
[Multi] Black Dragon Libera.
Suggested level = 26+
Rewards = ?
That's what it says on your PSP.
As you can see, it's supposed to be multiplayer, since you can't always find
good friends to tag along with you, people have found ways to trespass the
Multiplayer restriction. More will be explained later.
Now, an insight on the floors.
1st floor : Recommended level is 28+. This is purely my opinion, don't barge
in and yell at me: 'I can do this at level 26!' or so.
There are 3 rooms, divided by an iron door that also trigger an axe falling
down through you. To avoid it, move really close so that you can't move any
closer. There are some ways to trigger this switch solo, which are:
- Jump, quickly cancel the command, then move.
- A Tondenga Charge attack, followed by move.
- Have Ton as Yarida or Piekron, attack so he jumps.
The third option is the safest to play, but note that options 2 and 3 will
cost Kan's life. No Kan can survive 40K damage. Option 1 will force you to
break fever, but Ton can die.
Now you can get inside solo, now to get your army inside too. Get an UH whose
UH Mode can make him move. This will fall to Grenburr or Tondenga. Move, and
bring your whole army in.
Now your army gets in, its showtime. Let's see your army's challengers.
Floor 1, Room 1 : Deaths, Balrogs and 1 Gargoyle. Not much fight.
Floor 1, Room 2 : Deaths, Balrogs, Flame Salamanders and 1 Gargoyle. Back off
from dying Salamanders.
Floor 1, Room 3 : Deaths, Balrogs, Flame and Ice Salamanders and 1 Gargoyle.
Now the fight gets intense. You gotta kill the 2 salamanders
at one command to make things easier. I would like to warn
you that these guys explosions are deadly. Stay away from
them, you should be fine.
Deaths have approximately 700.000 HP, while Balrogs have ~1.100.000 HP.
Salmanders have approximately 600.000 HP. You can see how tough these people
are so be armed well. This is just an estimation to let people see how powerful
is this dungeon.
At the end of Room 3, a door must be opened with a key. Do so and find either
a Gold or Jewel chest at the end of the 1st floor. Hooray! Move on to the 2nd
floor, which there all of you 1st timers will see 'True' DoJ pain.
2nd floor : Recommended level is 30+. Please get level 32 for a better chance
of survival on this tough floor. The difficulty of this floor is
Tripled or more. Yes, at least TRIPLED. Why? Well let's have some
insights on the 2nd floor.
The beginning door will ask you to use another key and once you step forward,
you can pretty much see why it's call THE 'Pain'. A hit from the axes not
properly armed can hit 50K or worse. And that's just axe. You must be thinking
that after one neck-breaking axe, it's over right? well, these fast-spinning
axes are always there for you, to start 'till end. Even you finished all of
the Monsters they are still there, trying their best to fail you. How sad.
Now let's see Living challengers.
Floor 2, 1st axe : Just swinging never ending axes. There's a switch that stops
the axes from moving that is AFTER you endured the axes.
Pretty much useless in single-player mode.
Floor 2, 2nd axe : Blue Cyclops, Yellow Gargoyles, and Big Golems. All in their
empowered forms huh? If you have problems killing these guys
you don't stand a chance against what's beyond this three.
Floor 2, 4th axe : Blue Cyclops, Yellow Gargoyles, Big Golems and Green Balrog.
Remember Green Balrog? He's back to bring you PAIN. Takes
time to kill, which I suspect him to have 2.500.000 HP. That
is my guess. If you past him, you have a good chance to
finish the floor... only one more barrier stands...
Floor 2, 5th axe : All 4 with the Black Dragon Libera. Oh yea. 5 Huge monsters
all determined to kill you. Black Dragon is easier to kill
than Green Balrog, assuming about 2.000.000 HP. He barely
does anything until 15 seconds when he breathes an almost
never-ending poison breath that hits you ~1500 per hit.
Not good. Now the key to defeat the Dragon is positioning.
Get it right and you're on your way. Screw it up and die in
pain. Unless you're a 400+ hour DoJ veteran, that is. After
killing the Green Balrog in the previous axe, stay right
there. Make your Hatapon stand as far as possible to the
edge of the 4th axe switch. From there, you could reach all
the 5 while stopping the axes from killing you. This is
crucial for beginners at DoJ. And Oh, there's axes....
Floor 2, 6th axe : After the Dragon is defeated, no more monsters spawn. Just
you and axes... again. This is it!
At the end of 6th axe a door which needs yet another key to enter can be your
evil nightmare. It's either you have no more keys or due to standing there,
waiting for the animation to end and letting the 7th axe hit you freely. Even
doors hate you. After that grab your reward, Either Jewel or the fabled Purple
Jewel chest. Note that Chests from the end of 2nd floor are always level 25 and
above. Purple Jewel Chests range from level 29-32, netting you fine equipments.
And that's the No.1 reason to why spend more than 150 hours playing Patapon 3.
Now on to how to survive the evil dungeon.
First floor is not restricting too much, since it's fairly easy. Tondenga and
Grenburr is to go, any decent equipments can win the day.
But if you want to win 2nd floor, By all means get a Tondenga (I know there are
videos doing full DoJ without Tondenga, but for beginner or safety's sake). No
Grenburr, since it's defense is intolerable. I did my first full DoJ with a
level 31 Tondenga, and you could see my full stats :
- Thor +7
- Bunny Hood +13
- Alldemonium Shield +14
- Crono Riggers +11
This set will grant you bonus 50% defense to all attacks, so it's a one to
go after. Using this set gives me:
Stamina : 44741
Strength : 1-99999
Defense : 266
With using 6 set skills :
- Peerless Hedgehog
- Strike Master
- Peerless Deer
- Peerless Bovine
- Club Attack
- Damage +
And mastered Energy field 10%, 20%, and 30%. This is a good investment for a
better survival so the positioning tactic can be abandoned (if you wish to).
My Thor is weak, +7. So for those with better equipment, will have a better
chance to clear DoJ.
I see complaints from people that finding Alldemonium Shield is way too hard,
so I tried Molivious' set w/o Alldemonium Shield, and here's how it goes :
- A good weapon capable of killing foes quickly. A good Susurapon or Stagger Axe
enhanced at least [St] +30 will suit well.
- Any helm, preferably Lightning, with [W] +30 enhancement or higher.
- Octagon Shield +10
- Crono Riggers +11
This will make runs tougher but still manageable. Here are the stats, I tried
this at level 32 :
Stamina : 62127
Strength : 1-99999
Defense : 356
With using the same set skills and class skills as above, for me.
As you can see, Crono Riggers is irreplaceable since it nullifies criticals,
those axes will always do critical. And why have helm [W] rather than Super
Unique helms? because, [W] enhancement can reduce slash attack damage by
20%, a free 20% energy field, if you would say. It has a noticeable effect
when you run through these axes you'll get about 3K per hit using my set.
It's worse than doing Thor set which will hit 1500 per axe hit, but still
manageable due to extra stamina boost.
* Please note that the 20% slash damage reduction from [W] enhancements
doesn't mean it's 70%-20%=50%. It essentially means 20% of that 70%.
So, 20% of 70%=14%, 70-14%=56% slash damage reduction.
Now to set skill importance.
1. Peerless Hedgehog : If you don't have this set skill, don't go to the 2nd
floor. Without this, it's just impossible solo.
2. Peerless Deer : Your lifesaver, at least mine. Saved my life dozens of
times, always good to have one.
3. Peerless Bovine : Only use this when using Thor, I was wrong to use it on
the alternative set, try getting something else for it.
But for Thor set, it really helps you to kill monsters
faster since Thor's minimal damage is really low.
That means less axes.
4. Strike/Slash Master: Always get this on Thor/Alternative set. Please, double
attack boost is irreplaceable.
5. Damage + : Always good to have it. Title says everything.
6. Club Attack or
Battle Axe attack : I was wrong, yet again for not switching club attack.
perhaps this is the reason why I have such a hard time
using this set. Don't switch this off.
In general, Peerless Hedgehog is a MUST, Get 3 offensive set skills, and 2 of
your choice.
Your army : Well, it doesn't really matter, they all die at the second floor
anyway. But just to give you a nice head start, get a Wonda for Kan, Grenburr
with Fertilizer set skill for Chin and Piekron/Charibassa/Yarida for Ton.
Have fun farming!
