Guide to affixing Units?

[Genovesi]

My apologies if there is a present guide for affixing units I have yet to come across a solid guide. Does anyone have one and/or are there any videos that show the process. I'm not worried about pricing or anything like that.

What abilities do you want?
The best setup would be a Soul, Abilitiy for your Damage type III, Spirita III and a Items Ability (like Spirita Boost etc.)

I'll take a Mizer, Shoot III, Spirita III, Special Ability R-Atk for this example.

Anyway, here is a ability simulator (watch out it's kinda buggy with souls)

Lets start from a scratch. First you need to add a huge amount of junk abilities together to have 4 slots (increasing slots reduces the success rate). this should look like this:
Step one: http://puu.sh/9wwPK/2381306b4e.png
Step two: http://puu.sh/9wwVw/389c10492b.png
Step three: http://puu.sh/9wx2p/4ca241589a.png

Junk abilities are those with 100% success rate such as stamina 1 or power 1.

Now what you may notice is that in the bottom right corner you can see Dudu's glorious success chance.
Its so pathetic that you are going to waste time and money if you don't use any success rate items.
Use at least 10% boosts or 30% boosts or buy units with 4 Slots to work with them.

Alright if your unit, that you wanna add abilities to, has 4 slots filled with junk lets start with the real deal.
You don't need to fuse abilities up to Shoot 3 by combining two shoot 2 you can buy such stuff in the player shop, just make sure you know how to search them.

You can buy Shoot 3 units and weapons with 4 slots easily and they shouldn't be too expensive.

Anyway, moving on.
Step one: http://puu.sh/9wyis/bd8c0dd77a.png
Step two: http://puu.sh/9wyuO/717f2cc833.png (notice here is where the simulator bugs. Spirita should be at 80% too).

Step three: http://puu.sh/9wyJ4/502c342278.png This is the hardest step since you have a chance of 32% of success without items. a 20% boost would make it a 70% chance and a 30% boost gives a 80% chance.
You need to pray that Dudu or monica don't screw it up (they screwed up a 95% for me once so pray they are in a good mood).

Fantastic, thank you very much I appreciate it. So what if I want a challenge and to shoot myself and add the fevers/stigmas/mutations/modulators/vincs/etc? (5 slotting)

you really don't want to do this. Even with a 30% boost you will have less than 45% chance of adding all 5 junk abilities together. Besides you already use the special ability items to get a 4th Slot ability without a headache. 4 Slots is really optimal. At the moment abilities higher than lvl III and higher amount of slots are suicide.

You have to add soul to w/e you're going to make the final affix on for 80%. You need 3 souls. Needless to say you'll get 100% w/ a 20% affix boost vs 80% with a 30% affix boost.

If you use 30% affix boosts save them for something like 5 slots with tier IV modifiers.

i'm more concerned about your sig pic than getting 80% with a 30% affix boost.....
affix chance must be 100% or no boost at all... lol dudu....

The point of the third step in this guide is to get a soul onto the main unit. If I use 3 souls to get a 80% chance that would imply that I already have a soul on the main unit making step three, in this guide, unnecessary.
