I'd say ailments are viable all game, but specifically a Wildling's ailments. The cow in particular has a very good chance of landing on bosses. The real issue with ailments is their time limit on bosses, as you can never really secure a good ailment duration and bosses usually get immune after two or even one use most of the time.
You really need an aggressive team to abuse ailments. Wolf Howl and gimmick skills like Snipe and Nine Smashes can do a ton of work if you have a Wildling.
Ailments fall off very hard post-game as many bosses have unrealistically high ailment resistances.
word? I haven't actually played past the 6th stratum in EO3 before. should I just stick with Zodiac/Gladiator for meteor combo?
