Besides clearing the mission, what are the minimum requirements to get an A or S clear?

Does one need to kill every enemy in the map for? Only all encountered? Only the emergency trials? Or Whatever?

[Ledo2013]

About the quest bonus items listed when choosing a quest:
Is it possible to get them even before clearing the quest? Or does only quest clearance / killing the the boss gives you a chance to get them?

[gigawuts]

Besides clearing the mission, what are the minimum requirements to get an A or S clear?

Does one need to kill every enemy in the map for? Only all encountered? Only the emergency trials? Or Whatever?

You need to kill a set number of enemies during the quest to rack up enough points. The counter is hidden and small enemies count less than big enemies. If the path to area 3 is eventful you can kill only what you see and get your s-rank. If the path to area 3 is scarce you'll need to roam around a bit. You'll get a feel for how much to kill after a few tries.


About the quest bonus items listed when choosing a quest:
Is it possible to get them even before clearing the quest? Or does only quest clearance / killing the the boss gives you a chance to get them?

These are items that dropped somewhere, anywhere, for someone running that quest. You'll occasionally see an Elder Pain listed for an area where Hunar is a very rare random spawn. Other times you'll see clone weapons (the 10*s) listed, or even a drop from a rare enemy you can only find in that map with a parallel area which are hardly common.

Basically, it seems to just take one of the absolute best and least common drops and show it off. It's a pretty scummy move. It's like showing pictures of lottery winners at every cash register to try to convince other average shmucks into thinking they'll win too.

Any benefits to being in a party for EQs like Dark Falz etc? Do you get more exp with more people?

[Sp-24]

You do get more experience, and, I believe, that's it. No other benefits.

is fortunate omen broken for TD? i have it equiped and im still getting untekked crap.

[Sandmind]

is fortunate omen broken for TD? i have it equiped and im still getting untekked crap.

Only the mob's drop are affected by fortunate omen. The stuff that are from the tower themself (11* and misc old VH 10*) can never be untekked.

Fornax evolves into . . .
Cepheus (image): (Ranged > Strike + abi) AND (Ranged > Tech + abi)
Tucana (image): (Strike + abi > Ranged) AND (Strike > Tech)
Caelum (image): (Tech + abi > Ranged) AND (Tech > Strike)

Say I level a Ranged / Dex mag and Ranged is higher at the last evolution of the first form. I get locked into a Fornax. Later, Dex surpasses Ranged and it never gains any Strike or Tech.

The conditions for Cepheus are no longer met, because Ranged is not > Strike + Abi and Tech + Abi.

The conditions for Tucana and Caelum are not met either because Strike = Tech (Zero).




Does it just stay a Fornax? or what happenes? More curious than anything. I'm sure I could do one point in either to get the one I prefer and it wouldn't be the end of the world.

When attacking weak spots your damage is x2 so the extra damage is not made by any stance, it's just you striking the weak spot for the additional damage.

Sometimes with a katana my normal attacks will send me flying and Im autolocking onto weak points it seems? How did I do this so I can do it again?

That's part of the effect of the Katana Combat skill ability. Investing more points in Katana Combat will lower the cooldown on the ability.

The coming XQ weapons ARE the bio weapon series. The other shown 11*s are from AQs.

[Uthred]

Just wondering is there a full list of what is and isnt translated floating around? Because when I come across stuff in Japanese (e.g. the tutorial about switching weapons, Astarte, etc.) I'm not sure if its simply untranslated or if I cocked up with the various patches

[Dark Emerald EXE]

I'm sure this shouldn't matter as its just an alternative source but....

I currently play pso2 with a wired 360 controller.

Over time...the wiring trying to split open...
I have a wireless controller for 360 as well but no receiver (but i can get it)


Does the game play well using the wireless receiver?

It shouldnt make a difference provided the pc recognizes it but i thought id ask before i buy one... (can't seem to find one separately in storeS)

There is not. Just use the tweaker and it'll keep you up to date and conflict free.

Question about a potential Hunter/Techer. Does Dark Mastery 1 and Dark Mastery 2 have anything to help with Megiverse? From what I understand, Megiverse is lifesteal in AOE area when doing damage. Would Dark Mastery help in gaining more? If so, is it worth it? Thank you for your time!

[jooozek]

does bkb/mkb latent add more affixes or adds them at all?

[Arksenth]

does bkb/mkb latent add more affixes or adds them at all?

It increases the chance that affix rolls will succeed when an item is generated. So both, really.

If I have an Esca Hermes, and I want to extend it to add Braver as an additonal class, with its T-atk at 1069 at 10 grinds. Will it lose T-atk at max grinds since its a higher tier'd 10* weapon if I choose extend it to add Braver class to it?

Extended rods apparently get 995 T-atk... so you'd be losing 70, as well as having a large damage variance. You would be much better off casting with a Vibras Bow, which gets 950 T-atk

That's a good idea, but I've somewhat noticed a dps drop from using my vibrace rod ( +6, 695 T-atk ) to using Vibrace Bow ( 10+, 970 T-atk ). I know the proper setup on my sub-palette goes a long way with using spells from the sub-pal, but am I doing something wrong?

I don't know why you'd lose damage with 275 more T-atk...

[KazukiQZ]

Regarding Launcher and Standing Snipe, does shooting while on ground will activate the bonus, or just while standing really still?
Because iirc, Divine Launcher does push the user abit to the back, so normal attack (SS count) > Divine Launcher (SS ?). And this question also apply to other PAs, such as Rodeo Drive (Does using it while on ground activate the SS bonus?) and Flame Bullet (Moving around while shooting flames)

And this question also apply to other PAs, such as Rodeo Drive (Does using it while on ground activate the SS bonus?) and Flame Bullet (Moving around while shooting flames)just stay still for 5 secs and you'll get the damage bonus, Mobile PAs such as Impact Slider and Rodeo Drive gets affected as long as you were stationary when you activated it.

[GoldenFalcon]

To expand on the rules for standing snipe, you need to be in the same spot on the server for 1 second. All PA's get bonus even if they move you, but you'll need to wait 1 second between PA's to always have the bonus

Keep in mind, every single launcher PA moves you except for Flame Bullet...

[thematesV2]

so I've been saving up to upgrade my Gramacient to a Rubiascient. does anyone know if they have a planned 3rd version any time soon? I heard rumors of a 3rd round of upgrades with this new content release coming up.

also, are those stones tradable? I've got a bunch that I don't need, and still need about 50 for rubi. was thinking I could use my one day premium if they're tradable, and work out some trades with others to reach the 90 mark.

[BIG OLAF]

Yes, there should be a 3rd tier coming out for your rod (in a while, at least).

No, those stones are not tradable, and I highly doubt they ever will be.

How do you get patty and tea as an option for the story mission arks battle championship?

[TaigaUC]

How do you get patty and tea as an option for the story mission arks battle championship?

If I recall correctly, you need to clear the right key points on the matterboard.
In a cutscene, they will offer to join you as a partner (as with the other NPCs you can invite).

[Saffran]

Go through the Matter Board 11 and one of the nodes should unlock them. Node F2, as a matter of fact.

[Atlantis419]

Ok I'll do that, thanks guys.

[deahamlet]

Ok I'll do that, thanks guys.

That's not enough, you then have to do the story Arks Battle Championship and pick the penultimate option when prompted (it chooses Patty and Tea). Run the whole thing with Patty and Lea and then they will have the mission for you. You then need to do that mission for them (Sanctum Explo I think?!).

[Evex]

I've recently come across a my room pass, 3 days, from my venture into the fun scratch. I know the pass gives me access to the premium feature of my room, but my question is what happens to the items in my room once the premium time runs out ? For example you edit something you need premium time for, but then the time runs out so does it return to default ? How do you get more space in your room outside of the five original spots, considering a support partner stand takes up three of these spots.

[VKhaun]

Quick idiot check here... can a Cast (male) wear these all-race costumes?
If my Cast can wear them, can he still do the hover movement type while wearing clothes?

My only character is a newman female, my other slot is pending deletion. Can't go look in the market for myself.

It seems to imply that they can since the others say non-cast, but I've never seen a Cast wearing regular clothes and I can't find a screenshot of it using google. Being a JP game I guess that's not really evidence of anything, really.

Having a cast character, I can attest they can wear these all class outfits. At least from the previews in various shops. It just looks really odd. Like the cast has com out of psi video or something. I know cast are supposed to be androids, but ugh. It might look okay if you us the more human looking heads instead of the mecha ones though, so a cast trying to pretend its a human ?

When your room time runs out, you just lose access to premium rooms. Everything that you put there stays, and waits until you buy Premium (or win/buy another ticket).

As for making the mini room bigger, I'm pretty sure that's impossible. The whole reason why it exists is to make you want to have a bigger room, so it only makes sense for it to be incredibly small.

Okay so another question is, if I was to edit my rooms theme to say a modern theme using the pass. Would I lose access to my room when the ticket ran out, since I'm now using a "premium" theme instead of the default one, or would the theme just be reset back to the default one until I came across another ticket ?

No idea about that. But I assume that My Room and Mini Room are completely different entities, and using theme passes would not affect the Mini Room in any way.

[gigawuts]

Room themes aren't premium, they're just room modifications. They don't expire when your premium runs out - your access to Premium Room A and Premium Room B is cut off. Mini Rooms, the free ones, are different and cannot be modified.

I am being super OCD whenever using the Este, so here goes:

So whats the point of the fortunate omen latent? Does untekking a SW add an additional roll in determining rarity? If not it seems like a great way to waste meseta on all those trash rares.

[gigawuts]

You can choose element (big deal for 11*s), get guaranteed minimum of 2 affix slots, and get boost to the element amount (another big deal for 11*s).

edit: Also, if you're untekking a rare with a built in affix you can choose the untekking affix - like if it has Another History you can pick EXP Boost, etc.

[Uthred]

Is it worth grinding lower level weapons or do you out-level them too quickly to make it worthwhile?

[Saffran]

Uthred > you can craft them and keep them until you get a really good rare. Uncrafted, they are pretty much useless considering that you WILL find rares sooner or later.

[Sp-24]

Is it worth grinding lower level weapons or do you out-level them too quickly to make it worthwhile?
While it's not exactly "worth" doing it, you aren't losing much by doing so, and get a decent crutch to help you hunt some better weapons. However, you can just buy a decent 7☆ from the visiphone, so yeah, not worth it at all.

[gigawuts]

These days you can extend and grind a 3* weapon early on, and then extend it as you level until you can equip a decent 10*. Extended weapons are nice for this since you can just extend the one you're using now, letting you keep the element, affixes, and grind, and extending costs very little. It's much more cost effective than most alternatives for early on.

I mean 50 minutes in total for all five runs, including time in between and talking to Klotho, so on average about 10 per (I can solo all of them, except amduscia and lilipa, in under 10).
Holy poop, 50 per would be if I went bare handed...

And yeah I was looking through youtube, but I was kind of hoping someone would link some videos. I guess I'll just stop being lazy :-P

Ship 2 problem.

[gigawuts]

Depends on the difficulty, really. A SH run, even with decently competent players, will take like 40 minutes or so (I think? I never actually checked my clocks, but 35-45 minutes sounds right to me). A solo VH run on someone who isn't capped taking 50 minutes sounds fairly good, in light of that.

[VKhaun]

On the Weak Bullet skill it has a list of 'bullets' 1, 2, 3 and 4 at max. What exactly does that effect? The other special shots don't seem to have that.

[Bellion]

The amount of weakbullet shots you have. Up to 4 shots max at 10.

[VKhaun]

The amount of weakbullet shots you have. Up to 4 shots max at 10.

How does that work? - I hit the PA and it fires a shot that applies a weak point, then what happens to give me three more shots? I can use the PA again three more times without a cooldown? - Cooldown starts when I run out, or I get one shot back every time the cooldown's time elapses?

[Bellion]

You use it from your subpalette when you have a rifle equipped and it will replace your normal attacks with x amount of weakbullets, so you can't use normal attacks unless you get rid of your remaining weakbullets by using them up or switching between weapons. Cooldown starts when you first load your weakbullets.

You have to use the weakbullet from your subpalette again if you want to get more, after the cooldown of course.

Okay, so the trick is to hit WB, shoot them one time to make or exaggerate a weak spot, and then go to a non-rifle weapon to shoot that debuffed spot until the weakpoint I created wears off?

How long does the weak point I create last?

[Bellion]

It triples the damage on the site where the bullet hit.
Depending on how many bosses there are or if you need to break parts, you save them and use them when one disappears after 15 seconds of it being in effect.
You generally want to save them and not use them all up in one go.

18x4 is still less than 90sec, so I can't perma a weakpoint even at max level and my bow steroid is on a long 150sec timer, Still, multiple shots are better than one and it would give me something to do while letting my PP come back if I don't want to stand still and shoot a lot. Think I'll go for three bullets.



Thanks Bellion!

You won't really need more than a full minute of weakbullets anyway. It's 15 x 4, by the way.
And I don't think you should use weakbullet for recovering PP. Also, 4 weakbullets are really valuable, and I'd still recommend maxing it.

[VKhaun]

No I meant that after I use up my PP, I would swap to rifle, fire a shot to reapply WB and swap back to my regular weapon while PP regenerates on it's own.

You cancel the Weak Bullet and you WASTE the extra 2 or 3 if you switch weapon.

The strategy would be to have PP management (Photon Blast, Bullet Save skill on Ranger) and not attack, only PA

[deahamlet]

You do not keep weak bullets if you swap away from rifle. Usually if in a party you keep and use your weak bullets and just use rifle PAs until everything that needs WB is done. For example Ragne... wb a leg, wb again when leg shell breaks, wb his weak spot on the back of the neck when he falls (from the leg breaking)... now you want swap to guns and go to town. If solo, you can pop a wb on the back and go to town immediately. But on a Quartz, for example, you'd want to wb his nose, break it with rifle PAs then wb again the broken nose and go nuts on him with guns.

If you do not intend to ever use rifle or hate using it for your party's sake... don't waste skill points getting more than one bullet. If you want to support your party and/or don't mind rifle and its PAs... go to 4 bullets. I got all 4 bullets, I can pike in an MPA or party between them and STILL give the other 3 or 11 members more DPS than I would if I used one bullet and swapped immediately.

Understood!

Tyvm for the explaination. I guess that's why there's a PP return skill at the bottom of the line, so you can use your rifle PA's to kill mobs and recover PP without wasting WB shots on regular attacks.

Does Lucky Rise boost rare drops or just all item drops?

Boosts all drops. Rare and non-rare. The wisdom is to use Lucky Rise with boosts. Personally SEGA likes to troll me and I get more awesome stuff without Lucky Rise and boosters :P. I still use them though.

[Nulve]

I asked because I was thinking the LR/Temp might be having some kind of negative impact on the drops I was getting or something.

Every time this week I've used LR+Temp + 250%, with Elder, I've got meseta piles, about 6 Iri stones and about 2 7-9 rares. The time I didn't use LR/Temp, and just had a 250% on, was the time I found an Elysion.

I already posted this awhile back:




Settings > Language > Input Languages > Keyboards/Add Terms > Japanese

When I'm looking for an item in the player shop, I usually type at least 2 katakana symbols and hit find to look at the list of available items with the same 2 symbols.

Let's say I'm looking for a Wild Muffler accessory, which is ワイルドマフラー . I would type in just ラー in the first text box of the shop search window and hit the button beside it. A list of items will appear with ラー on their names. Just look for ワイルドマフラー and hit search.

It's the same process for finding abilities in weapons and units for affixing. Just use the second text box in the shop search window.

Once you've added Japanese, you'll have an English, Romanji and a Japanese keyboard. Just hit the "Keyboard" icon on any of the keyboards to scroll a different keyboard.

Alternatively, you can use a romanji converter (http://nihongo.j-talk.com/) (http://nihongo.j-talk.com/) and Vita's romanji keyboard for typing english characters if you don't want to bother using the Japanese keyboard.

How do I get premium? Is it as annoying as getting ac with the address choosing? I'm still a minor currently so is it less of a pain to get premium through buying the premium package vol.2 with the extra item codes and stuff from play-Asia?(it's only around ~30$ right now on play-Asia) Or is that outdated and the codes can no longer be used because I see it was released back in July of last year. The only reason why I want premium is to trade in 100 of my useless ten star rods and units for a weapon exchange pass.

I don't think there is a way anymore, as far as I know, to add AC to your account with having an address tied to it. I had to set it up on my account before I was even able to select a method for adding AC to my account. I've sent you a PM with some more info.

You enter JP address info into AC website, then go to buy AC, choose Webmoney option and enter the webmoney code you bought from play-asia.

The codes were still valid a couple of months ago when I got the package myself.

An all-class crafted MKB is universally useful for money making, especially on Lead Border Break where you can easily yield 4-5s Power/Shoot/Tech items with it off of Cougar. The initial investment is a little rough but Lv. 3 should be easy and just spam Lv. 1 extend over and over to keep costs down.

This, right? Latent level 1 is 1.3 mil, ones level 3 and with souls +10 and 50 element, around 5mil. I think it'd cost less to do it yourself, but then again I own 2 already so...

Question... isn't it cheaper to buy the 10* and craft that? Also never gotten a 7* version, but got at least 5 of the 10*s so they seem easier to get to me.

Crafting a 7* is considerably cheaper than crafting a 10*
Grinding a 7* is considerably cheaper than grinding a 10*

[btw-Niji]

BKB requires 10* pass, has 10* grind rates, will have 10* cooldown when crafting and has a high SATK req. Not sure how much lower that req will go when crafted, but it definitely won't be equippable by every class without SATK on mag.

[gigawuts]

A crafted 10* will have very similar stats to a crafted 7* at ExLv 1.

edit:
At ExLv1 a...
7* will have 335 satk & require 340 satk & cost 4 aironia, 1 pa fragment, and 6k meseta
10* will have 324 satk & require 380 satk & cost 8 aironia, 1 pa fragment, and 12k meseta


Don't let the 10*'s low cost of 12k meseta & 4 more aironia fool you - you may have to do over 100, even 200 crafts to get allclass. Believe me.

I get lucky with all class :D. But you're right, 10* grinding is horrid. Guess I might go kill me some Gwanahdas cause I'm not paying 1mil for it.

[gigawuts]

I've crafted 14 allclass items. My MKB, mechguns, and a couple other things worked in the first 12 tries. The MKB nailed it on try #9.

Others took over 150, after which I stopped counting.

My Zanba for instance took about 140 over two sessions about two weeks apart. My Shot Legacy took around 130, with multiple sessions of about 32 at a time.

My favorite is when you don't even get great successes 30 times in a row. Fucking love RNG.

Well damn, I never crafted 10* because it's a waste, but thank you for the correction.

[Gourd]

Anywhere to find player base statistics? Like how many active users are on monthly and the total amount of active accounts? Something at least from Q2 2013? I have an interest in that kind of junk.

Also, are bravers getting any sort of nerf? Cuz...they need one. Or rather a few.

[gigawuts]

I doubt Bravers will get a nerf for at least another month, when Sega sees the new PAs still won't have balanced things yet.

[MetalDude]

Sega's gonna be too busy giving Bows another PA that takes 2 seconds to charge and still does less damage than Shunka.

[Kondibon]

I doubt Bravers will get a nerf ftfy~

[gigawuts]

I foresee a nerf in a similar vein as the Zonde nerf - a tiny tweak, and little more. Shunka essentially is the Zonde change, except they didn't change anything that was already in the game. I mean, based on that they might not nerf it at all, since they won't realize they overboosted it. They might just think it's a natural evolution of the class over time. That could be true if Shunka wasn't god tier OP, but you know.

[.Jack]

No we can't.

I dont want AC cash i just want premium to get the weapon/unit exchange pass, thats all i need. So if I by the play-asia premium package episode 2, will i have to go through the address thing? Or can i just enter the premium code on the back of the box in game and not have to go through the convoluted process?

[Sanguine2009]

if im not mistaken the code is entered into the game itself and then gives you the items from said code(a ticket for 30 days prem in this case) so you should be able to skip all the stuff on the sega site

HU/RA is okay and BR/HU or HU/BR (if you have the money for hu/br katana) is OP as all hell.
Make a decision, a hybrid r-atk/s-atk mag will be weaker than a pure one in terms of what you can equip early on as well as overall damage. T-atk why?!?!?! RA is r-atk, HU and BR are s-atk for katana (r-atk for bow). T-atk is only for force and techer.

T-def is not a good idea. It won't make a lick of difference on a cast hu/ra or hu/br. They lowered defense requirements for units so don't put any defense on mag.
S-atk mag: feed melee weapons and 4* furniture (or one 2* and one 5* furniture piece since 4* is expensive)
R-atk mag: feed range weapons and 5* furniture

Good luck.

Can I get a step by step on how to use the shunka combo chain? I only do the dash stab then a long delay and then sheathing the weapon.

Hold forward on your thumbstick

alternatively
hold your w key

or hold the side keys for side swings!

[SkylyVi]

So press the skill while holding forward? Or Press the skill and immediately hold forward after?

Im trying it but nothing is happening :(

[Sanguine2009]

you are charging the skill right? you have to do that then while the PA is attacking hold a direction

[GoldenFalcon]

So press the skill while holding forward? Or Press the skill and immediately hold forward after?

Charge it, release like Kanran, hold forward, lock on helps a ton

[deahamlet]

So press the skill while holding forward? Or Press the skill and immediately hold forward after?

Im trying it but nothing is happening :(

1. Do NOT let go of the PA until the circle is around you. You will not do multiple hits if the circle is not in close and red.
2. Press W/thumbstick as you are charging the shunka and keep pressing it until the last hit. Turn camera around if you need to go anywhere but forward after the first hit (turn around, go to the side)

PS: Lock-on will help to hit the same enemy several times or to quickly make shunka change directions by spamming TAB to new enemies as your first one is dead.

[SkylyVi]

I see!! The problem was not unleashing when the circle was red.

Te/Br if Elysion, Fo/Br otherwise

probably

[gigawuts]

Te/Br can be fun without an elysion if you craft techs the right way (faster zan, ragrants, and possibly nafoie & gifoie; reduced PP sazan, gibarta, & other techs...I mean, most of these are the optimal choices anyway, but they really help te/br among a couple other classes).

I mean, it's not optimal, but I found it to be fun since you have weak stance for element weaknesses and weak points, snatch step, and just reverse cover. Techer has no hyper armor so JRC is handy, and snatch step combines great with wand lovers when stepping around to hit stuff with space magic.

But what would Techer offer for crafted techs that Force doesn't?

Also, I somehow forgot about Territory. That alone could make Te/Br worth it

[gigawuts]

Techer offers wands, and it's not what techer offers those techs but what those techs offer techer: faster casting to make up for a lack of flame charge S and a reduced reliance on PP revival.

[Randomness]

As far as I can tell, the biggest reason to use Techer is the part where you suck in twenty enemies and utterly annihilate them with wand gear in the blink of an eye.

Or paired with Force for EVEN MORE PP.

Techer offers wands, and it's not what techer offers those techs but what those techs offer techer: faster casting to make up for a lack of flame charge S and a reduced reliance on PP revival.

I guess I put a lot of value in Talis Bonus for the damage, and not enough into wand gear. And well, my reliance on PP revival lol

[Sanguine2009]

keep in mind 90% of the time te/br is just a worse te/fi due to either having to use a element you dont have mastery in or having to hit a weak point that may not be there in the first place, additionally your melee is pretty useless without the consistent bonus of fi's stances. im assuming you meant a weak stance te/br because an average stance te/br is just worse period

except due to pp limitations te/br and te/fi can only really get much use out of wind which has very few mobs weak to it. you can use other element but you dont really have the pp or masteries to make the most out of the damage bonus and end up doing less than a te/fi would if they just spamed sazan even without elysion. additionally you cant get much use out of the weak stance bonus for much other than some boss weak points for your wand melee basically giving up the one reason to play techer over force.

thats not to say its not viable just a worse choice to play the same role/style a te/fi would or if you are trying to go straight up multi element caster a much worse choice than fo/br

Weak Stance applies its bonus damage when you use the element the enemy is weak to, without hitting a weak spot. Understand this.

Nothing

[Dia79]

ZRA1 and ZRA2 on the Gu skill tree has different ranges, actually.
ZRA2 you need to be almost point blank and ZRA1 is like the diameter of Thrillerplode.

Zero Effort skill has the same range as ZRA2.
Maybe I switched the numbers for ZRA around, I forgot which it was. But they do both have different ranges.

A 16% extra damage is always a yes, even if you don't have access to it all the time (I doubt it though, what with Heel Stab and everything). And if I recall correctly, when you're literally at point-blank, combine all the Zero-x skills and you'll get a 50% damage bonus? I don't really remember the details.

Also nothing in the S-Roll category should be at 5, except for S-Roll JA.

[Bellion]

This is what I think.

i totally agree i have one of my trees exactly like that ... now i wonder if i should make a showtime tree just for fun lol since i just did reset alll the trees (with an old free reset pass) and i have 3 empty trees for gu :P

[Rehal]

ZRA1 and ZRA2 on the Gu skill tree has different ranges, actually.
ZRA2 you need to be almost point blank and ZRA1 is like the diameter of Thrillerplode.

Zero Effort skill has the same range as ZRA2.
Maybe I switched the numbers for ZRA around, I forgot which it was. But they do both have different ranges.

I would like to to see a proper video about this . _.

[Bellion]

Sure, when SEGA hands me more skill tree resets or when I make a dedicated Gu character.

[Rehal]

Why you still haven't got 20 characters for lifetime supply of skill tree reset yet?

[Dia79]

going back to katana/br what would u choose guys a +12% on AVG S Critical or a + 32 s atk? i made a tree with 10/10 on s atk and 1 point on braver mag leaving avg S crit on 4/10 atm (5%) considering i need some s atk to equip my Boulay Obs i can do 5/10 stk 1 point on braver mag and 9/10 on avg crit S having 685 stk (exactly what i need to equip the katana) and a 17% crit rate on avg stance but im not sure if a +32 Satk would be better

[Bellion]

What does your mag look like? If you put in 1 point for Braver mag, then why not all 5?
You really don't need Avg crit at all, especially with katana gear.


Just 1 week old . _.b

Welp, please ignore me then. I can no longer prove anything. ;_;

[gigawuts]

Uuuh, if you guys are talking about what I think you're talking about with the longer range effect:

All guns have a built-in falloff penalty at about 10-20% of their maximum range. The damage penalty is 20%, IIRC. People don't usually realize this because rifles and gunslashes have such long ranges, but grab a hunter/fighter and check it out for yourself.

However, on mechguns this is much more noticeable because they have such a shorter range. People assume this is ZRA in effect, but you can see this using a hunter/fighter with waterguns.

[Z-0]

Nah, they're talking about the differences in ZRA ranges. ZRA1 and 2 used to have different ranges, but it's been patched.

[gigawuts]

Alright, just making sure. The comment about moon atomizer range is what made me unsure, since that sounds like about the range where the built-in falloff penalty kicks in on mechguns.

[Bellion]

Yep, I noticed the innate drop off damage range, ZRA1 range, and ZRA2/ZE range. I haven't been playing Gu for a few months, so I'm behind now.

Also Z-0, your sig pls stop.

[Rehal]

How do I diveroll just as fast as someone quad-dash? .- .

[Yamishi]

Going back to my question about Br + Fo/Te, it seems like folks suggest Te/Br if I can get my hands on Elysion or if I have all elemental techs ready to do weaknesses, or Fo/Br if I want to be lazy and have some techs, yes?

I'm open to alternative class combos as well, I just main Gu/Ra, so I'm a total noob for other classes. I want either Fo or Te so I can do support techs on my friends who just started playing and need backup, but I already have a Fo/Te, so I was looking to mix it up a bit. Thoughts?

[darkepyonuk]

What level can i start using sub classes?

[yoshiblue]

You get their quests when you hit level 30 in Hunter, Force, Ranger or Braver. Braver unlocks all 3 of the quests at once.

[Pugas87]

You get their quests when you hit level 30 in Hunter, Force, Ranger or Braver. Braver unlocks all 3 of the quests at once.

Actually, once you hit 20 you will get a quest from Koffie allowing you to use subclasses. If you want GU, TE, of FI you need to lvl Hunter, Force, Ranger, or Braver to 25 (it was changed). Then quests will be unlocked from Lisa, Ohza, and Marlu in order to get recommended for those classes, and Koffie will offer you quests to use those classes after getting recommended.

Got 3 tri boosters, have lv 13 br and lv 11 hu, when or what kv would be the best time to use them?

[Sanguine2009]

save them for super hard, sh TD is probably the most efficient use of them though XQs or boosted SH falz are other options too

[infiniteeverlasting]

lol im leveled capped now and i still dont know how to eliminate the lag in switching weapons... Is there any way to immediately switch weapons when i scroll? Everytime i scroll on my mouse, it opens up tha little menu that popups and you hafta click again to switch the weapon, or is this the latency and its unavoidable?

That is not "lag" or "latency", it's a game mechanic.

To avoid the switching menu, you have to bind weapon switching to something like the number keys

[Shadowth117]

No... this is wrong. Part of it definitely is because of latency, but part of this can be cancelled by pressing jump and so switching more immediately. Binding to numpad keys doesn't change this. You can triple dash with vanilla controller set up technically, but the scroll menu makes it harder.

you can instant weapon switch via numkey / 1-0 number bar.

also, unless i'm blind... he doesnt say anything about ws cancel for dashing lol.

They are for technique crafting.

Once again, partly dependent on latency and you need to press JUMP to eliminate time past that. It really doesn't matter where you have the switches assigned.

Edit: The only thing assigning them to keys does is avoid the scroll wheel, but there's still a delay without the jump action being used.

[Rayden]

Even with jumping, there can still be a lot of delay if it's laggy enough. I've had plenty of times where I couldn't switch weapon for about 20 seconds (usually in Tower Defense).

[Kamekur]

You need to survive the hit.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

You have to survive the hit, the multi-hits, and the lag.

Each of those things can hop over halfline's effect.

You need to survive the hit.

As a FO/BR, how much is the damage difference between a lvl 3 latented Heretic Saw with talis bonus and a lvl 3 latented Satellite Riser for lightning techs?

[Shadowth117]

11,606 with heretic saw max and 11,449 and satellite riser max for me on a Spardan A in desert AQ with same affixes, lv 3 latent, max grinds. So they're basically about the same, but the heretic saw is slightly stronger.

My friend is raising a Katana-only BR/HU. He's been feeding S-ATK weapons, but I'm concerned that he may not have much DEX in the long run to equip better Katanas. In addition to the DEX he would gain by simply feeding his Mag S-ATK weapons, how much more points in DEX would be ideal?

0~30 should be fine.

Non T-ATK weapons with T-ATK on them.

1) If I have a sword with T-ATK on it, can I put Techs on the PA slots or will the T-ATK just help out the spells on my subpallette?

2) Are there any gems in the list for added T-ATK? I see Vibras Bow has a nice high T-ATK number, but what about low and mid level weapons when crafted? Soul Eater for example. Anything really jump out as particularly good (or bad)?

2)Most non-casting weapons don't have good enough t-atk to be worth it, but there are a few that are ok. Madams umbrella, Coat edge D, and Trator Liner come to mind for swords. The vibras bow and laucher have t-atk comparable to a mid tier 10* rod. The rest aren't really worth it.

Extended weapons lose any secondary stats they have so there's no point in trying to extend one for that. You might be better off extending a rod or talis to be usable by whatever your other class is and just use that when you want techs for damage.

i have question , what is the minimium time to direct go for zakum
i wan to skip falz arm direct go zakum for safe time .

[WildarmsRE5]

i have question , what is the minimium time to direct go for zakum
i wan to skip falz arm direct go zakum for safe time .what is zakum> did you mean elder? If you don't want to do arms then, arms has a 30 mins time limit, after that there's a 30 mins time limit for elder which you can only fight once and fighting Falz Arms atleast once.

[windload89]

yea i mean elder, i tested ....after 30 min , i couldnt go for elder direcly , so i have to do a falz arm before phase two is it?

[Alma]

Yes, you need to do at least 1 arm to qualify for elder fight.

[WildarmsRE5]

yea i mean elder, i tested ....after 30 min , i couldnt go for elder direcly , so i have to do a falz arm before phase two is it?yes, every time falz appears you need to do atleast one Arms run to qualify for Elder stage. and yeah, Phase 1 ends after 30 mins.

[windload89]

thanks for both of your answer, it help me alot

[Natsu Nem]

Alright, I've decided to finally hunt for Sazan 16 after an annoying situation during SH den. Fighting bird Darkers with angled Zans doesn't work well when the Zan projectiles clip into terrain.

What's the most efficient way of farming it? Bonus drilling in SH Rare Ore Mining?

[Kikikiki]

That is probably the best option to hunt for Lv.16 Sazan, as many other people have stated. Looking for red boxes, looking for Gels, looking for special drill, etc.

[gigawuts]

Also break domes, and check green boxes since very rarely they can drop red box items.

[pkemr4]

is there any good SH mode katana braver solo boss rush videos? i wanna git gud at being braver :S

any body know what is this mean?
(Edit) Using boost items that share the same name can have their effective times extended to 120 minutes.

this stated in next update
means that when i use tri boost and rare boost
it extend time to 120 min??

[WildarmsRE5]

no, you can use Exp Boost 75% and Exp Boost 75% (Literally the same name) and extend their effective time to 120 mins. since each boost has 30 mins timer, using 4 of them would extend it to 120 mins and capping it.

[windload89]

mean i can do like this?
4x250% rarebooster
=1000% rare boost and 120 min ?~!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?1

[WildarmsRE5]

no, only 250% with an extended timer. . .

Is there a way to minimize the game in windowed mode? I can't find any way currently and was wondering if there was a way to enable it.

the game is sensitive to fiddling with it, a simple alt+tab on fullscreen means a crash, i'm sure you'd crash on minimising too (since it crashes when the 3d stops to render)

[WildarmsRE5]

Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask, but I was wondering what type of Mag would be best for a hybrid Braver?DEX Mag with Braver Mag Skill on Braver Skill tree.

How do you create this so called "hybrid" braver?

Oh, i thought i was missing out on somthing for a minute then lol

If you're premium, then you don't have to buy room tickets, as you get it by default along with premium.

If you're not, and you have a fair amount of excubes (50+) and you play enough to get at least 1 excube every 3 days, then you can purchase them to dump room items in to save storage space, or design a mini-ish room. All's up to you. Some of my friends do that.

[Saffran]

Crafting board and console cost 2000 fun points at the shop, but remember that you will get a console automatically.
There are also an Extend machine and a Technique machine for 2000 points that reduce the cooldown time. The Extend Machine 2 and Tech Machine 2 are traidable for excubes in the excube shop.
I believe you will need the board to receive crafting orders from other players, but you don't really need the console as you can do all the crafting from the main menu in My Room.
