Is Octopus right for your level?
The main thing that changes with your level is whether you can hit it. Each level the monster has over you scales your accuracy down. Accuracy you need for a 100% hit rate (your total ACC from the stat window, gear and skills included):
| Your level | 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ACC needed | 31 | 28 | 24 | 24 | 24 |
Calculated with the Classic accuracy formula (see accuracy and hit rate), which reproduces published in-game examples exactly. It hits for 40 weapon attack, so check your HP and defense too.
