Ballad overwrite

[Nyarlko]

Perhaps instead of replacing based on remaining duration, it targets oldest timestamp? I think this would be the only way to guarantee the behavior that it sounds like you are asking for.

Oldest timestamp would not work as it would result in more songs having to be sung when getting up songs 3 and 4 with daurdabla. IE (assuming no time to get 4 songs up before real fight) currently fastest way to get 4 songs on at maximum power is first 2 songs gjallarhorn, 2 songs with daurdabla, then overwrite the 2 daurdabla songs with gjallarhorn powered songs, 6 songs total.

If oldest timestamp was added, all 4 songs would have to be sung with daurdabla, then 4 songs with gjallarhorn power, 8 songs total.

When using NT, time is limited to 1 min 20 seconds maximum and you can get 15 maybe 16 songs off before it wears, when party swapping this would not be ideal.

My points to fix ballad overwrite would be in this order:

1) Increase base ballad duration to account for the 27% difference in song duration, in this way it would not overpower the potency of ballad

2) Add more ballad+ on slots that currently do not have ballad+ or all song+, this would add power to ballad over the 30mp/tic native, which would likely overpower it.

3) Make it so that if ballad 3 is on and you cast ballad 2 or ballad 1, it forces another song to be overwritten. Basically a higher tier ballad cannot overwrite a lower tier ballad and it forces another song to be overwritten. IE attack 5 has 11min 00 sec remaining, attack 4 has 11 min 5 sec remaining, honor march has 11 min 10 sec remaining, victory march has 11 min 15 sec remaining. NT has already worn.

Current status:
If you cast ballad 3 it would overwrite attack 5 since that has lowest duration, but now ballad 3 is the lowest duration at 5 min 26 seconds. If ballad 2 is cast it will overwrite ballad 3 since that is lowest duration.

Suggested change:
Cast ballad 3 which overwrites attack 5 since that has lowest duration. Cast ballad 2 would then see ballad 3 is already on so it would overwrite attack 4 as next lowest duration.
