GH451 vs. GH452

[ZombieGirlD]

I was just wondering about the differences between the two in regards to healing and buffing. I used the 451 for one mission and found that it didn't heal that much so I changed to the 452. She seems to do a good job healing and buffs occasionally. I was wondering if anyone has the 451 and would like to tell me about her battle functions.

This is my first time posting hehe. Well from what I can tell from 451, she really is for offense. She will only cast resta at half hp like the rest of the PM (though 450 and 452 may cast it whenever its owner is damaged to a certain point, they cast it almost anytime). 451 casts barta,gibarta,rabarta all past lv21, and does each spell very often based on the monsters. Oh and 451 or any 4X1 will have Auto regn instead of a SUV, while all 4X2 will have SUV with no auto regen.

Hope this gives you some insight

I have a 451. It's true that she doesn't cast Resta as much as 450 did; and when she does its for her benefit, that is when her HP is low. On the plus side, she's far more aggressive with attack spells, and spams Gibarta like nobody's business. From what I can see, 452 is more geared to players who want support spells, and 451 for those who prefer offense. As an FT, healing is easy for me, so I like to see my little girl attack ^_^

Overall, she's a definite improvement over 450, except in the healing department. She tends to do a very good job freezing the mobs, and is totally unafraid of them... she is very independent and run towards monsters rather than sticking by you... the downside is that she can get low on HP and not do anything about it.

Summary: 452 is for healing and support. Probably great for non-tech classes. 451 is all offense, blasting Gibarta like mad, but little healing.

I'm sort of wondering.. How worth it is it to upgrade the 450 to the 452? They don't sound all that different, except the 452 uses electric based offensive spells instead of fire and has a SUV.. I kind of like how the 450 always shouts out sadistic comments to the enemies and would be sort of disappointed if the 452's dialogue was less.. entertaining..

450 has an execption to stay as she is cause her resta is always top notch, so upgrading her isnt really needed (unless you like having the monsters getting the shock effect here and there). Since other PMs resta is really based on their equiptment they have a need for it. 452 although I dont have experince with her, just has the SUV that makes her truely worthwhile, as a high battle strength (BT) will make it devestating, and can really be awsome when soloing specially if she pulls it off at the right time.

452 is sadistic too, although she doesn't say 'Burn! Hahaha!' since she uses zonde techs. She's shouted 'Die!' a few times. I like her. I've seen her use zonde, razonde, gizonde, shifta, zodial, rentis, and resta.

And her SUV is not bad either. Good thing it's Sturm Buster, she doesn't have to aim. I'm looking at you, Lou! >_>

From the little experience I have with the 452 she doesn't use Resta quite as much as the 450, but it's still considerably more often than the other models. The assortment of buffs (shifta, zodial, and rentis) helps to make up for that difference. Oh yeah, then there's the SUV too.

And the dialogue is slightly different, but still quite entertaining. "Take this fool!"

Okay, I'm liking the sounds of that.. I might just upgrade to 452 later on then.. Mucho Thanko.

huh? maybe I'm just doing something different with the 451 (or I'm a bigger master of disaster on that character then I thought) but she heals a lot for me along with spamming ice techs. I could barely get my 450 to do anything besides sit there. I haven't tried the 452 at all yet so don't really know anything about it besides the lightning techs and the SUV XD

I have the GH450 and like most Ncp's it will sit there doing nothing when you need it most and spam Resta when its to late.
The "Upgrades" from what I can make out are being misinterpreted as such.
There aren't upgrades there are just different PMs with different attributes.
So save your money for a while and wait till you get to see some in action.
