The Official Build Thread: Episode 3 - Reboots, Rebalance, and Reprisal, oh my!

[ArataWata]

I don't want to sound like I'm being pushy and I think the work you did on the thread is solid but I have a question about the builds.

Do you think you'll be posting more different builds for the classes like in the 1.0/2.0 thread? Or are the builds you posted already pretty much the only optimal builds out in episode 3 right now?

[UnLucky]

I added some options today. What would you like to see?

[ArataWata]

I was thinking of maybe seeing a TE/FI build like the hybrid melee/tech build.

[UnLucky]

Oh right, I forgot to add something like that, since Te/Fi and Te/Br can't live on Ilbarta alone.

I snuck it in there now.

[final_attack]

Oh right Unlucky, just a little bit of question regarding Hu's Fury Combo Up .....

Won't it be better to leave it at level 5? Isn't it gives 5% each consecutive successful JA with cap of 10%? By cutting it to Lv5, you'll be able to maximize Never Give Up for extended invincibility or Fury Gear Boost, or 5 SP to spare somewhere else.

With StepAttack - normalAttack - PA, won't the PA already get the 10% damage bonus? or normalAttack - PA - PA, the 1st PA already get 5%, and then the 2nd one 10%?

I'm kinda curious for this one, since I planned to maximize Never Give Up.

Edit : fixed typo. 2nd -> 1st

[UnLucky]

Correct. If you're hurting for SP, you can even drop Fury Combo down to lv1 and still eventually get the full 10% bonus. Anything over lv5 would only affect the first JA, since the second and onward will cap at 10%.

It's why I have it as lower priority in the chart, but perhaps I should make note of it in the description.

[final_attack]

All right, thank you very much

[Maenara]

finish OP when

[Chdata]

Getting both halfline and iron will would be redundant/a waste, right?

[Rayden]

If you can spare the points, they synergize really well. Automate keeps you healed in general and protects you from multiple rapid hits, and Iron Will protects you from big deadly hits. When Iron Will triggers, Automate kicks in and heals you back up instead of leaving you at 1 HP.
