Start a new game?

[XxGoregrinderxX]

Hello.

I have played with my Cast Ranger for a long time.
But its very boring now.
I saw videos with Newmans.
They can make very high damage.
My questions:
1.Should i start a new game with a Newman?
2.Beasts are good in Meele.Can i use my Cast for ALL Melee Weapons?
3.Does it take a long time to level a Newman up.

Newman are very cool because i like magicla attacks and the high Damage.

I hope you can answer all my Questions.

Well of course Casts are great with all melee weapons! They're Casts! With High ATK and ACC, they'll hit and hit hard!

The time it takes to level up a newman is no different than with a Cast, Human or Beast. Thus the question is null.

And by 'newmans make very high damage' it depends on which class you're planning on making this newman.

Whats the best class for Newmans??
I think i will make a Force newman.
But i wont delete my Cast.

Has anyone else some answers?

Well the 'best' class would have to be Vanguard, but that's mostly to take advantage of the Vanguard's high EVA bonus. Newman Hunters are a bit too squishy, though not impossible, and Forces, at least in PSP2, are somewhat frustrating and require your absolute commitment to achieve some form of play.

In the form of a scale from best to worst for Newman, it would be like this:

Vanguard>Force>Ranger>Hunter

But why is Vanguard better tha Force for Newmans?
I think Force IS for Newmans.

[RenzokukenZ]

Again, to take advantage of the Vanguard's EVA bonus. Newmans already have the highest EVA of all the races, so add that with the bonus, and it's possible to be immune to most physical attacks. Plus Vanguard is more balanced with all the other stats, so they'll be able to melee, range or tech well.

But since it sounds like you're going Force, this shouldn't matter. Although there are several FO pros here that can give you better advice on that than I.

Yes i will make a Force Newman and change my Cast to Hunter.
I have got many S-Rank Melee Weapons to test out.
Is it good to give a Cast a rod for Shifta,Deband and Resta?
That helps.

[RenzokukenZ]

Yes, that would be good, and the best rods to use would be the C or B-Rank Clarita Visas or the Mr. Ecoeco stick. Why? They have reduced PP usage.

If you're a Newman, ALWAYS HAVE DEBAND UP. You'll never know when something will randomly fly at your face. Best to be safe.

Thanks for the Tips.
I will test my new Newman.
But i will practise with my Cast Hunter too.
I love Axes and Swords.
