Best Techs

[Zagreus]

This is what I use (I use this on both DC and Xbox, not sure how the gamecube controller is, but I see you're an xboxer so that shouldn't be an issue).

Set 1 is without using a trigger button, set 2 is the stuff you get with the right trigger. Items are listed from right to left.

Forest, Caves, and Ruins:
Set 1: Gifoie, Special Attack, Gizonde
Set 2: Resta, Difluid, Rabarta

Mines: Foie, Special Attack, Gizonde
Set 2: Resta, Difluid, Rabarta

Dragon:
Set 1: Deband, Grants, Reverser
Set 2: Restra, Difluid, Rabarta

Del Ro Le:
Set 1: Gifoie, Foie, Gizonde
Set 2: Resta, Difluid, Reverser

Val Opt:
Set 1: Grants, Foie, GiZonde
Set 2: Resta, Difluid, Reverser

Dark Falz 1:
Set 1: GiZonde, Grants*, Reverser
Set 2: Resta, Difluid, Rabarta*

Dark Falz 2: Switch Rabarta for Gibarta
Dark Falz 3: Switch Grants for Foie

As you see, I try to keep things in the same place, most of the time. I prefer medium level (Gi) attacks as opposed to high level (ra) attacks, except barta (Gibarta is awesome for Falz 2 though). This is mainly because at level 40 I don't have really high level Ra techs. This is the same layout I've used on the dreamcast for well over 1000 hours, so I'm used to it. The only change my DC char would make is swap out difluid for grants, as his double saber special attack gets him plenty of TP.
