Cards: what's a good elemental bullet to start with?

[DreamLocke]

I'm amazed how early my CAST GT is able to use cards. (In two levels X-bows too! Woot.)

He's level 20-ish. I'll be just about broke buying my first A-rank. So what's a good element to level first?

The guides say level every bullet for cards because they rock. That'll take a while so what's good to start off?

I would say ice since there are a lot of fire monsters, also you get SE2 freeze.

Light, because fans are good weapons to use on technic casters.

Why would light be good on Technic Casters O-o

I too say ICE since most flying monsters are FIRE. But LIGHT and actually GROUND are very good too.

Cards are 25% element at lvl 21 so that is the 2nd highest elemental gun damage in the game. And since cards level so fast you'll get there in no time. High Accuracy from the Cards and the GT job and you'll be hitting BEEZ and Vahras with ease while safely sidestepping their attacks.

Status 2 is good but as a GunTecher there are Crossbows and BOW/RIFLE if you wanted Status effects to land reliably. Cards are your Mobile Fire&Forget Power Gun. I wish GT gets S rank cards.

Because technic casters don't have any light attack spells. The only light attacks we get are fan bullets and bows...

I believe it was said because confusion causes all the AoE spells to miss their targets and targeting spells to only hit targets on the side of the spell's target (i.e., Deljaban megid missing you and hitting the 3 other Deljaban in front of you).

But, yes, I would also suggest starting with ice and then getting elements based on whatever level you normally play (earth for Parum, fire for Neudaiz, etc.).

cool thanks. Went with ice. Why didn't anyone tell me before how much ass cards kick? Love 'em.

...My Human Wartecher is 42/5, and I can't even use them yet. :/ Close, though...

It took my newman FT to lv 52/4 to get enough ATA for even the Kikamic. I feel your pain.
