With the forum back up, i'm leaving a note that TBS has been updated around a month ago to tone down a bit Hydros Statue and Manticore up a bit.

Moreover the detailed changelog, the one that was found in the former download section of the forum, is now shipped with the patches

Hey Caledor! I haven't posted in a long time. It's good to see that the project is still going on!
I am replaying (3rd or 4th time) through Reloaded. Some notes I have while running a different set up:

- Some Psynergy that can be used in the overworld is not available as "base". This necessitates switching djinn around out of combat often to solve the puzzles. For example in TBS, Whirlwind is only available if Ivan has Venus djinn (but not triclass), or Isaac has Jupiter (without triclass) or Garet has Jupiter (again without triclass). I remember that you explained that this was intended and that you did not want to have them as base on the characters. My suggestion would be, if possible, to add all Psynergies used for overworld puzzles as equippable items (except Move and Retreat of course)

- Killer Ape in Mogall Forest can kill a character from full hp if it uses Ransack twice on a row on them. If intended, you can disregard this :p  After all we need a reason to use Guard and Protect

- Manticore in Lamakan Desert is the first boss that makes extensive use of 5-target damage abilities. This is the first fight (after the Hydros Statue boss change) that requires Wish almost every round. The available djinn up to this point "unlock" Wish with 4 Mercury djinn on Mia, Isaac or Ivan, but not on Garet. No other class can be unlocked up to this point with Wish. At the same time, Resist, which would massively help here to reduce the need of Wish, is only available for Ivan monoelement or Garet with 4 Jupiter djinn but high level, or Ivan with Mercury (which already unlocks Wish anyway). This is where I'm stuck now, I'm trying to find a way to defeat it without having to switch djinn around :p
My suggestion would be to make Resist available at 18+ levels to open up that strategy for this boss.

Looking forward to further updates!

PS: I STILL haven't defeated Dullahan on Hard Mode with Reloaded!
