Summoner Class Discussion

I can see that some of the eggs have bonus values (randomly), for example +2 HP +2 Tech +1 Strike.

Is there anyway to have your current pet receive these bonuses?

Also can someone let me know if Ranger's Weak Hit Advance is affecting pets? Thanks.

Weak Stance penalty is kicking in on non-weakpoint, which means that damage is calculated more like a Striking or Ranged attack than a Tech attack, even though it's not explicitly typed Striking or Ranged.

Should probably explain how this works.

You have striking, ranged, and tech attacks. Then you have striking, ranged, and tech hitzones on enemies too. Then you have another hitzone for every element (plus non-elemental). Techs and Wand Gear proc Weak Stance because they don't target the tech hitzone, they target the elemental hitzone (or non-elemental for a non-elemental Wand Gear). Summoner's pets don't proc Weak Stance because they target the tech hitzone.

Weak Hit Advance only works for ranged attacks. Pets aren't ranged attacks, so they cannot be affected by it.

Doesn't, or if it does I've had terrible luck hitting weak spots so far.

Man, why does SuTe do more damage than SuBr Average?

I feel like I'm missing something because isn't the only damage bonus EWH?

Yea to be specific that's the case, although there's no signs of mismatched typing for Summoner yet, unless a Kamikaze Arrow-like attack shows up, i.e. Striking-type but hits headshot zone or similar.

I took TATK Up 2 on that Te tree I think along with Te natural TATK. Lowbie stats throwing it off, nothing unusual

I assumed it might work with some of Sully's ranged attacks.

i assumed it might work if you use pet switch shoot skill

Right now I shudder to think of what will happen when the current wave of Summoners make it to XH Magatsu.

Considering pets are too stupid to dodge his attacks and too fragile to facetank them, it might get to a point where half the party drops to 0 DPS after the first laser barrage.

Might have some value in TDs though, assuming the pet doesn't get caught by random Goldra stomps. Will need to see how high Sari Chaser can go.

[Rakurai]

Where do you even get Torim and Sari eggs?

It seems like Tokyo only drops Wanda eggs.

[Selphea]

Try the Player Shop, before I went to bed they were 30-40k each.

I got mine from drops, myself.
