1UP: Fortetechers how are you handling the Neudaiz Mission?

[-Asheth-]

To those that didnt switch to alts and are going through the mission as fortetecher what Techs are you using?

I find myself relying heavily on my bow in mission especially the EX portion.

[StkDrowsy]

Get 3 wands......
First wand heal/Magic Buff and use a card with ice or fire
Second wand- foie/ other best ( i use ra-foie) and use a card with ice
Third Wand- Barta/ Rabarta (or any others) and use a fire card.

i use this setup for any rank, becouse with you have both elements onhand at any moment

[CelestialBlade]

Continue using Fire/Ice technics as if they aren't resistant to them. You're still not going to out-damage your technics with a Bow or even Cards, so may as well just stick to usual tactics.

As long as you've got a good melee and/or ranged character in the party, no big deal.

[A2K]

I'm using pretty much what I usually do for Neudaiz: fire and ice. I'm particularly fond of Damfoie, myself. As you alluded to, though, the EX missions are another story. I do what I can but those are really just seem much more suited to the ranger-types.

[BahnKnakyu]

I stopped playing my fT altogether. They die when a Gohmon looks at them, and it's near impossible to properly support melee players because I have to get closer to the enemies to kill them. I'm using my WT at the moment since average buffs + average heal + 2.2x greater survivability is better than good buffs and good heals.

[Anduril]

I'm using my usual Neudaiz tactics in this mission: Foie the Ice Enemies and Kagajibaris, Rabarta the Fire ones, pull out my Ulteri with Ice Bullets for Onma, heal and buff as needed.
Of course when I solo it to search for a Me/Quick I switch to Guntecher so I can just keep firing my bow with a higher damage than usual in the Bonus Mission.

[BigBadWolf]

Here's a strategy that's been working pretty decently for me:

As Typheros said, if you're a Newman bows and cards aren't going to do much to the mobs so it's best to stick with the technics. What I do however to compensate I try to debuff all the mobs with Zalure and rebuff the other party members immediately when they use their racial ability. My main thing is that I started carrying around extra G traps (Burn, Ice, and Virus) for the Ranger members of my party. This pretty much encourages them to go crazy with the trap laying during the mission instead of conserving their limited supply for the mid bosses. The traps SE damage + debuffs + my technic damage doesn't measure up to a FF's spear, but at least I'm not worthless.

For Ex mission, I tag a group of mobs with GiFoie, and instead of trying to kill them off myself, I just lead them them back to the melees for them to pick off along the way to tag more mobs to bring back. Those Golhoms that don't move, I try to pick them off Foie instead. Gifoie also does well with clearing out the boxes.

[The_Big_Show]

The easiest thing to do on the EX mission is just to pick a corner, pull out a bow with a fire shot and start shootin

[stukasa]

I don't even bother with rods in this mission (except my buff rod). I bring 9 wands. Eight of the nine wands have a combination of the following: Foie, Rafoie, Gifoie, Rabarta, Gibarta, and Resta. I only use Gifoie and Gibarta on the Ageetas. The ninth wand has Diga and Reverser (Diga for Kagajibaris/Tengohgs and Reverser because people tend to get frozen/burned a lot in this mission, although sometimes using a Sol is faster).

During the EX mission I use wands with Foie/Gifoie equipped. I use Foie on the Gohmons and Gifoie when I get surrounded by Ageetas. I know I won't do as much damage as my gunner/fighter friends but at least I'm helping! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Randomness]

I switched to Wartecher, picked up Dus Majarra, and spammed it left and right. Works like a charm!

[BlackHat]

Sneak behind the enemies and let loose with Megiverse. Also hope you don't get hit while sneaking.

I've been using a mix of Diga techs and Megiverse.

[Zael]

I have Fortefighter capped on my Newman.

And 44% Fire and Ice Muktrands.

[darkante]

I don´t really care for dmg effectiviness on C.
I just found myself an excuse to level my razonde and gizonde spell during these runs. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[-Asheth-]

On ex I like to you use my Bow 2 shots dead ageeta

[Broodstar1337]

Foie. Diga. Dambarta. Can't exactly fall back on noob tricks when you're a FT...

Like spamming Nos-Diga in the Ex Mission?

[Guildenstern]

Debuffs and Megiverse spam for me, then jamming the "Resta" button on my FG friend while he spams Berserk grenades.

Fun times. O___O;;

[amtalx]

I've been letting the gunners and fighters do all the work while I debuff and collect EXP http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[SolomonGrundy]

WT ftw! Just remember to wear neutral armor, the fire/ice thing on neu is a biatch.

[Remedy]

Debuff them
Spam Gi- technics like I usually do
Switch armor as I go

Pretty simple, really. :3

Right, because by the time I've gone through one attack with Nosdiga, the guy with Majarra already ripped through five guys.

Nosdiga isn't fast enough to just cut through the EX missions like they were nothing at all.

If i am not leveling my electricity spells then,
they are my main nuking power haha.
Although uses rafoie instead of foie for variation sometimes.

[bloodflowers]

I've been using cards and bows heavily, with the odd Foie and Dambarta as needed. I've also been using Resta and Reverser a -lot-. My techer hits a bit harder than most with ranged weapons though, L98 cast with a hard/power and a Shi-Kikami. Topping out past 1000 per blade set assuming none miss.
