[Poyonche]

Personally, I'm using Zero Effort tmg specifically for Satellite Aim / Messiah Time purpose only ..... and Perfect Keeper tmg for general runs (I changed between Launcher or Rifle for some cases)

Getting both should be nice too, of course. Since Perfect Keeper boost all kind of damage (helps with Dead Approach + Reverse Tap as GuRa because Zero Effort didn't boost them), also, it affect long range attacks (looking at PSE Burst + Shift Period + Standing Snipe).

If you're low on budget (can't get both) and not aiming for maximum damage possible as Gu, just keeping Perfect Keeper tmg is cool.


Okay thanks for your help.

A Japanese player whispered me (and disappeared), asked if I wanted to join their team, but I don't. I tried looking for the person's character's name in the "Communication History" Tab so I can whisper back, but I can't find it (only has GJ comment, players you've partied with, etc.).

I also tried the "Arks Search" function on the Visiphone but there are 7 people with the same name.

Is there another way to respond back to him/her for the sake of being polite?

Yes, read your chatlog files, find the ID, use the visiophone, whisper or send a mail.

What's a good class combination for soloing?

[Fusionxglave]

Your wish is Sega's command

[SPOILER-BOX]www.youtube.com/watch?v=zURMbWMOL4E (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zURMbWMOL4E)[/SPOILER-BOX]

Hmm so Ra/Br is the boss killer class.

I definitely have to reinvest some time to Ra/Br.

Thanks for the clip

What's a good class combination for soloing?
FoTe.

Beep beep beep.

[Fusionxglave]

Atm, only 3 MBs for EP3 are included.

@Fusion
It just mean Braver is not your easy-to-play class anymore. But it's still easier compared to Hunter and Fighter main.
Braver SH solo bossfight is still fast as ever, but you don't depend on just Shunka only now, Katana has other useful PAs at the right time.
And all those Hunter's Fury nerf, iirc, the power got shifted to the class' weapons (Sword/Partizan/W Lance). Fury nerf didn't affect other melee class too much, except Gunner/Hunter...

so with nerfing, players use more of the PAs given to them and play a more challenging game. instead of spaming one powerful PAs.

at this cost; the developer had to destroy an entire group of people who invested so much time and effort to make a Gunner/Hunter.

then again buffing does have its down.

If buffs do come back people rush to the class with the best buff attack power and soon that one class becomes the only class for real damage (force I assumed).

Buffs in a way, makes people give up the class they already have played and choose the class with the best states for over power.

Having over power makes the game easier but no players feels the challenge of killing a monster anymore and quite the game till they can see a better challenge.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[Z-0]

Since people complain so much about there not being challenge in PSO2, it's a wonder why people don't make their own challenges. PSO2 gives you plenty of opportunities to do it.

Like multiple Tower Defense runs, or something!

[Fusionxglave]

Because it was an outlier, and so is Ra/Br. They just don't know what they want to do about Ra/Br, especially since the devs trapped themselves behind balancing the game around WB.



ohohohoho~ poor pe... gunners!

Ra/Br seems pretty good.

the gunners/hunter have been really good class till the nerfing.

:-(

Yeah totally agreed with this, some people like to be overpower, if a challenge is need then players can make a challenge that really is hard.

If game developers have to insert a challenge then it affects everyone and that just awful.

but if one person makes a challenge for themselves that one person is the only person to be affected by his or her change and everyone else can simply play they way the enjoy at the most.

You shouldn't so easily jump to conclusions just by watching a random Banish+LN RaBr video compilation.

You can find GuRA boss killing videos with EP3 balance doing just as fine with WB, chain and Sat Aim. Sure, WB+Banish+LN is cheap, faster and preschool difficulty level but that's it. Outside of boss killing, you aren't going to be faster at mobbing than lots of other classes.

And gunners are almost like Force players, they love to QQ A LOT when SEGA nerfs the skill tree or PA/tech multipliers.

It does help, looks like I found my next weapon replacement, Guravu~iriosu (グラヴィリオス). This has the next evolution of Discerning Eye, Oath of old, which can give up to 14% more damage when using elemental weakness.

I just don't know what's gonna be the biggest pain in the ass, finding one in Ult or grinding it to Lv10 X4 :(

[LonelyGaruga]

Ares Rod is the best rod right now. Drops in the same area too.

13*s have very high success rates too, roughly between 10* and 11*s.

[the_importer_]

Ares Rod is the best rod right now. Drops in the same area too.

13*s have very high success rates too, roughly between 10* and 11*s.

Which one will cause more damage in this scenario?

Battle against Falz Elder using charged Ilgrants via the ______

-Guravu~iriosu Lv10 with Oath of old at Lv3 and Light Attribute at 50
-Ares Rod Lv10 with Maboroshisei blessing at Lv3, Light Attribute at 50 and PB meter full

[LonelyGaruga]

13*s have max attribute of 60. They are quite literally the strongest in very possible situation even with an empty PB gauge, in every category.

It's kinda silly, but yeah. 13*s are that good.

Also use Ragrants against Elder.

[PokeminMaster]

I know of one video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTVFIWkiseY), but is there a higher-quality version of the game's fourth opening?

Hmm, interesting. How about with this scenario?

Battle against Biol Meduna using charged Ilbarta via the ______

-Guravu~iriosu Lv10 with Oath of old at Lv3 and Light Attribute at 50
-Ares Rod Lv10 with Maboroshisei blessing at Lv3, Light Attribute at 60 and PB meter full

(Main difference is that we're removing weapon attribute out of the equation since Biol Meduna is not weak to Light)

Also, I'm a big fan of numbers. Can you break this down with a bit of math?

Use the damage calculator

And if you have Elemental Conversion, you still get a 12.5% Elemental bonus if the elemental weakness don't match, 25% if it match.

Element's still a factor because Element Conversion gives half bonus for non-matching element, so we're looking at a 12.5% modifier for Gravirios instead of 25%, and 15% instead of 30% for Ares Rod. They're 2.5% closer now, but that doesn't help. Ares Rod has 271 more T-ATK than Gravirios. That's a big deal, especially when considering Gravirios has merely 70 more T-ATK than the 11* with the highest T-ATK. Gravirios has only 4-8% more damage from its potential, but Ares Rod gets 2.5-5% more damage from Element Conversion, meaning that at max PB, Ares Rod has higher T-ATK and higher multipliers than Gravirios does, and doesn't require you to use a matching weakness to get full damage.

It takes an extremely potent potential like Niren Orochi's Soul Rending Stance or Elysion's Innocent Appearance to be able to compete with 13*s in terms of damage. There are still other weapons with utility latents like charge time reduction, but 13*s have the best damage in every weapon category, barring those extreme examples.

I'd like to give math right now, but I have to leave for work right now, so I'll give you numbers when I get back.

Alright, I'll wait for your return. Just for the sake of simplicity, why don't we remove Element Conversion from the equation. Should give us similar result with less complications.

Everyone has Elemental Conversion so removing it from the equation is utterly pointless.

Are EQs still the best way to level up quickly? If so, which ones?

Yes; though Super Hard Advanced Quests are pretty good as well

Mining Base Defense: Despair, anything for events/holidays (Merry Christmas on Ice 3 right now), both Dark Falz...es (as long as you repeatedly run Falz Arm/Apos Dorios on your current difficulty), as well as maybe the Shironia one and Lead Border Break (though those may require Client Orders to be effetive) come to mind

gathering fodders has always been the way. AQ's drop one of the best. So you can level (from rare bosses) and gain money. Of course with drops you need some luck.

Ahh, alright. So, to farm meseta, just go on AQs and, if an item drops, then sell it on the player shop?

I'm not exactly sure what qualifies as something being rare, however. I know star value comes into play, but sometimes items that are 9*+ still dont' sell for that much.

[Sizustar]

Hm, you can get money on PSO2es? I'm not sure what fodders are though.

You can get items, money and exp that carry over to the main game.
Specifically, PSO2es offers PSO2es only affix, called Soul receptor that make a soul transfer rate 100%, and Gift receptor that allow you to transfer Lucky Rise I,II,III.

And there are also emergency quest that you can earn item to trade in 11* weapon that can sell for alot of money.

Item rarity is only a select few, the main thing you want is Affix.
5s+ Affix with specific trait <Soul+X-Atk III+Fever+Junk+Junk> can sell for alot of money.

Well, not just anything; more specifically to this case, fodder refers to items that, even if they are only 9* or so, might sell for higher prices if they have a good affix on them

Okay. One more thing, what do you mean by 5s+ affix? (Affix, if I'm not mistaken, is just an ability on an item (e.g. Power III), correct?)

[manthisis]

Alright. Thanks for all the help! I'll come back here for a price check if I find a decent weapon

[PokeminMaster]

I hear that Fi/Bo or Bo/Fi, using Dual Blades, is a good class combination... what exactly about it is good? (I'm not criticizing it, I'm honestly curious)

Like, what do you build on the skill tree, and what PAs do you use?

[KatsuraJun]

I hear that Fi/Bo or Bo/Fi, using Dual Blades, is a good class combination... what exactly about it is good? (I'm not criticizing it, I'm honestly curious)

Like, what do you build on the skill tree, and what PAs do you use?

Because Bouncer can reach 90% or so crit, and Fighter has a skill that gives +15% damage while critting that only works when you have Fighter as your main class. Reaching that high of a crit rate is also beneficial because you will probably be crafting weapons to make a rainbow set of elements for Elemental Stance + craft mastery, and crit removes the increased damage variance.

On the other hand, Bouncer as a main class offers nothing worthwhile for a dual blades user.

As a bonus, you can also get Limit Break, another Fighter main class only skill as Fi/Bo.

As for PAs, you use the same thing as any other Dual Blade combination.

[Kiyumi]

Alright. Thanks for all the help! I'll come back here for a price check if I find a decent weapon

You can run price checks for yourself, I do it all the time. Type the name of the ability on the item you got (for example Power III) and select the option for "weapons" or "units" and select where it says " # of abilities".

Some general things:

Nearly all 9* or less items have no sale value. You can look them up but youll see a long list of it selling for less then 10k. Dont be fooled by the "RARE DROP!" thing that pops up your screen, its really just different colored junk.

In fact, most 10* items also have no sale value, but you should look them up anyway. The only valuable weapons are the ones with strong potentials, a lot of 10* are really just fodder to turn into excubes.

Abilities for units are much more valuable then abilities on weapons. Youll have to get to 4 or 5 abilities on a weapon for something desired like Spirita III to be worth anything, but unit fodders can be valuable with even only 1 or 2 abilities.

I would advise you to look around at some pro players (just click anywhere around you really) and check what they have on their gear. Then go play around with the visiphone and search for combinations of their abilities and "weapons/units" and different numbers of abilities to get a sense of which things are valuable and which are not.

The Christmas AC scratch is pretty "meh" other than that Another Sharp Long haircut that inexplicably sells for 30-40 million meseta (Why? Who knows... You got other haircuts that look better and are long off from being released selling for less). I wouldn't expect prices of much of the stuff to go up that much. But that's just my opinion.

Keep in mind the female Arks Coat was released like last year if I'm not mistaken and they still haven't exceeded 5 million for long. I don't expect the punkish outfits to do any better.

I think that's only 2% weaker in average stance. But 2% nonetheless. Depends on how much you value that.

Light is still the best element barring UQ mode (which is Ice). But the important thing is having 50.

I think that's only 2% weaker in average stance. But 2% nonetheless. Depends on how much you value that.

Heh, if it's only going to make a very minor difference, then I don't mind. I just want to not be a guy who has extremely low DPS.

ELEMENT GRIND

To increase element on weps you need:

Another of the same target wep and sam element = the sum total of both weps element (i.e brand 25 + brand 25 = 50%)

Another of the same target wep but diff element = target wep + 10%

Another of the same wep type but diff wep = target wep +1%

There are affixing guides in the forum so prob best to go there. Its a bit long winded explanation

POTENTIALS

You can unlock potentials when you grind a wep to +10. Simple :D

What would make for better cost efficiency or better affix choices over these?

The new soul, IV and modulator will give you 100 attack. It shouldn't cost much for just 3 slots.

[manthisis]

How would I be able to affix 4 abilities (Quartz Soul, Power III, Spirita III, Ability III) onto a katana? I tried looking at the affix guide but it's kinda confusing.

[Dephinix]

If you want the best chances something like

Base Weapon: Quartz Soul, Junk A, Junk B, Junk C
Weapon 1: Quartz Soul, Power III, Tech III, Junk A
Weapon 2: Quartz Soul, Spirita III, Shoot III, Junk B

Having Power, Shoot, and Tech IIIs will give you Ability III with a 60% chance, or so it should still be. So even after a 30% ability affix boost, you'll end up with 90% chance of adding Ability III or losing that slot. Instead of three Quartz Souls, you could get a 4s with Quartz Soul and Soul Receptor, but I imagine that costing more, and since we're in maint, I can't help ya there.

Great, this helps alot! One more thing, is it possible to search for items with more than one specific ability (e.g. searchinng for a weapon with both Quartz Soul and Power III)

[Dephinix]

Not yet, but I heard it's being worked on with the new director, or something. I usually just look for a certain price range, like Quartz Soul with Power III/Spirita III were around 100k last week. 4 slots will probably have a range like 400k-600k, haven't looked yet myself. Every popular soul has a pattern, shouldn't take more than 3 pages to find what ya need.

[KatsuraJun]

Planning out unit affixes, I want to confirm - Anga Soul boosts Vinculum correct?

[Dephinix]

Yes, by 20%, so with 3 Vinculums and Anga Soul you get 70%.

[Shady3011]

Instead of three Quartz Souls, you could get a 4s with Quartz Soul and Soul Receptor, but I imagine that costing more, and since we're in maint, I can't help ya there.

Just so you know, you can have up to five fodders now. That makes it a lot easier to do this since you don't have to get multiple abilities onto a single weapon. I'm not sure if a 4s Soul Receptor weapon is more expensive right now than just failing and trying again though. However, 3s Soul Receptor and Quartz Soul weapons should be cheap because of the recent rare boss EQ in PSO2es (it was Crys Draal). That might be a cheaper option forcing to 4s if you are feeling lucky.

[Dephinix]

You can, for a higher price, and because of all the quartz souls flying about now, my method should be the cheapest. 3 items was around 40-50k for me on 11 stars, Im not sure about 4, but 5 items was 300k with little benefit(all he needs are easy Stat up IIIs), and 6 items makes is 850kish. If manthisis wants to go that route, that's fine, but I can't say it's cheapest without looking at the costs. Also, forcing to 4s? Everything's maxed rate goes to 70% at 3>4slots. So that soul receptor is now a 70%, while ability III is now a 60%. You must be feeling all types of lucky, but I will never walk that route for my personal upgrades. Fodders maybe.

[reaper527]

[KatsuraJun]

On that note, does anyone have a suggestion on the cheapest way to get:

Anga Soul
Vinculum
Mutation I
Abi III

on a unit? Trying to figure this out is a mess for me.

[Bellion]

Anga/Vinc/x/x
Anga/Mut/x/x
Vin/Mut/x/x
Vin/Mut/x/x
Anga/x/x/x
Pow3/Tech3/Shoot3/x or Mind3/Bod3/React3/x depending on which would be cheaper.

Idk 4s Soul Receptor prices for a unit but it could be cheaper and save you a bit of time.

[dekopong]

On that note, does anyone have a suggestion on the cheapest way to get:

Anga Soul
Vinculum
Mutation I
Abi III

on a unit? Trying to figure this out is a mess for me.

I can't tell which method is the best since I can't look up for the prices now, but I recommend using units dropped by NX cougar. Like: cougar soul, mutation, vinculum, ability. If soul receptor is in a reasonable price, 1 anga soul 2 cougar 3 cougar 4 cougar 5 soul receptor will be fast. If not, you have to make a middle material like: anga soul+vinculum+ability+mutation in advance.

[KatsuraJun]

aaah that's what I was afraid of. I was hoping there was something I was missing.

Though I didn't know Mind/Body/React could get me abi3, that should be a lot cheaper, thanks for that tip.

[Dephinix]

Not only will going with power/shoot/tech or body/react/mind give you ability, it gives you 60% instead of 50% from just throwing 3 ability IIIs together. If you don't mind a maximum of 80% success, then Cougar units can be viable.

[KatsuraJun]

Oh yeah, I know that power/shoot/tech is improved chances over Abi III x3, I just didn't know you could use Mind/React/Body, which should be considerably cheaper, I think. Most people don't affix Abi nowadays and just use fevers after all, which are better for mono-stat and have no chance of failing, so there shouldn't be much demand on 4slot mind/react/body fodders.

[Dephinix]

It's usually the last used option probably because until Anga, most people still built separate units based on atk affixes, meaning you probably already had power/shoot/tech on the unit's planogram to begin with. With Anga, yeah, definitely try for it.

[KatsuraJun]

I'm building this specifically for a gunslash, so I wanted both R and S-atk. Don't need PP on the account of my crafted Saikis.

After trying to plan it out for a while, I realized that I may as well grab Mutation and Ability III over Power III and Shoot III in case I ever play a teching class sometime soon since it's only a 5-atk difference.

If only modulator wasn't so bloody expensive I could get 100atk for everything

[Dephinix]

On that note, instead of Mutation I and Vinculum, you could just get Power III and Shoot III, and all you would lose is 10hp, no?

[KatsuraJun]

On that note, instead of Mutation I and Vinculum, you could just get Power III and Shoot III, and all you would lose is 10hp, no?

I figure I may as well go from Vinc and Mutation since I could use them as tech units if I ever decide to play a tech class. Which is possible, I'm looking at TE/HU right now and I'm a bit interested.

Though only after I finish this Hawk Fiamma and... whatever that Add Bullet gunslash is called.

[Dephinix]

I want to say that Te/Hu was the worst at casting when compared to Te/Br and Te/Fi. I agree though, if you want all around everything, go for it!

[KatsuraJun]

Oh, do T-atk bonuses not increase wand explosion damage?

[Bellion]

They do increase the booms. Delphinix is just saying the tech multipliers are low for techs.

One of the potentials it had which increases gear accumulation or something was nerfed in the past. I haven't tried it recently so I can't say it's good or not. And about the element, I guess if the element number is over 30 then you shouldn't worry about it too much. :V

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

It's kind of a big deal if the element isn't maxed out. For just about any weapon that isn't 13*, that could mean being better off with max element crafted weapons, uncrafted 10*s, or maybe even 9*s.

To be more specific, meteor cudgel wasn't directly nerfed; there's a two-tornado-cap on d saber gear.

9* and 10* with 50 element is better then 11*? I see. The nerf to the infinite tornado spam makes it not worth it then. Thanks. Guess I wont use it.

Hurio will give you - barely noticeable - higher damage on weak spots. 0% boost on non-weak spots where the bio still gets 8%, so the bio will have a higher average dps. However, I wouldn't invest on a bio if you already have a Hurio. Save your money for +120 ATK unit affixing, wait for a 13☆ rifle or for SEGA to release a 11/12☆ one that could outdps the Ares.

Soul receptor only boosts soul transfer rates to 100%.

However, Quartz Soul does serve as a catalyst for Power III, boosting its transfer rate to 80%. Add another item with power III on it and it'll transfer at 100%.

GL with ability III though, as it'll still transfer at 10% with nothing else.

PSO2 x PSO2es Linking Campaign #5

if we already play PSO2ES using our PSO2 ID, do we still qualified?

its been a long time since last i played PSO2ES

If you already linked it before, you won't qualify for this or future campaigns.

There have been no changes recently. You might want to check if you can still access pso2.jp without a proxy.

I'm not sure, but you might not want to bother now that we can have Fortunate Omen passively by doing Zeig's CO.

To get the charm, you'll need any weapon with Fortunate Omen Lvl3 unlocked and then craft it to Lvl8. Once you have the charm, as long as you have a weapon with at least Fortunate Omen Lvl1 unlocked on it in your inventory you will passively have Fortunate Omen Lvl3 active at all times.

Theres next to a 0% chance of getting an 11* anything on VH mode. I never got anything 11 stars until I was lvl 70. Honestly you probably dont even need premium until you are at least in SH mode and can get useful stuff to sell.

Yeah dont bother farming for rare weapons in VH, I dont even know if 11* exist there. Your main priority now should be leveling up so you can do SH.

Loser actually comes around at least once per day I think.

Is the "Great Sun Diety" Potential useful?
What counts as fine weather? Does it work in the extreme quest? Dark Falz? Mining Base Defense?

I believe any weather patterns in Arks Quest or Free Field stop when you reach area 3 or the boss area so that would be guaranteed "good weather"?

[KatsuraJun]

Boss rooms are permanently sunny

However, rooms with no concept of weather (Dark Falz for example) do not count as having any sort of weather at all, so they don't work there.

[LonelyGaruga]

Boosted waves count as weather, so GSD works in TD unboosted waves. Otherwise, what Katsura said. Only specifying MBD because it isn't necessarily obvious that's a weather effect.

GSD was good for a lot of weapons when they were newer, but nowadays they're mostly outclassed. Especially if you consider 13*s, but that's a given.

[Kiyumi]

Oh thanks, so no weather like extreme quests and Falz dont work. Mining Base "weather" is annoying, so I should have a backup weapon to switch to? And also to use if the weather changes in an Arks Quest or Falz.

I know 13* obviously is OP but these 11* weather ones from the extreme quests would be an upgrade over what I have now. I feel like Im not contributing if I go into ult quest with my Heretically WLs.

[KatsuraJun]

just get bio then

it's like 1 XQ stone more

those weapons are outdated and ded unless you like their looks, then go for it I guess.

[LonelyGaruga]

You could go Bio instead, 1 more stone for 8% damage on all JAs instead of 12% damage when there's no weather. You'll be contributing more that way.

Beaten to it ;~;

[Kiyumi]

Ah so Bio is better all the way hmm...

But those Ranma WLs look so cool D:

I see the weather WLs come with light and the Bio ones come with dark and dark really isnt useful, so maybe I can justify myself getting Ranma for the appearance and light element.

[LonelyGaruga]

You could buy an element changer and grab two Bio WLs for 50 of any element you want (should grab 2 either way for 50 element).

Element doesn't really matter much unless you main/sub a class with tech access, though.

[Kiyumi]

Oh it doesnt? I thought you want everything to be light?

I look at prices of items and wind is always the lowest price and light costs a lot more.

having an element is more important than the element itself, but people will always shell out more for a better element.

light kills darkers, and darkers are on every planet, so light is popular

in terms of the actual benefit, it's tiny.

for example:

1000 atk weapon with 50 light element. the element bonus is 50% of the atk, so you get +500 atk from having it at 50 element, regardless of which element.

then, if you're striking something weak to light (say, a darker), you gain an additional % of the BONUS as additional attack. I believe someone said it was 20%, so let's just pretend it is for this example. The bonus is 500 atk, and you get 20% of that, so it's another additional 100 atk.

so in the end, having something at 50 element is way more important than having the "best" element. Plus, "best" element changes a lot between patches thanks to new areas. lightning used to be popular and now its ded. Ice used to be considered shit, now its moderately popular.


the exception is classes that use techs, because Element Conversion gives you an additional 25% more damage for using the same element as the element on your weapon, so the difference is huge then. Dual Blade Bouncer as well, because of elemental stance, and it matters a bit for melee Techer because of Element Weak Hit.

How you guys do the multi-chars trick for Elder/Loser EQ, how you find the mpas? Are there specific blocks? does it requires to be premium? do you plan this between players in advance?

Just asking cause i have 3 chars now and the only weapons i'm interested in drop from Loser and having it once a week recently doesn't help.

Speaking of Loser, no one knows when we'll get XH for him? (I don't think, but just in case...)

Log in to one character -> Do Fartz Arm/Doritos on normal -> Log in to next character -> Do Fartz Arm/Doritos on normal (repeat for more characters).

Then relog onto character #1 and kill Elder/Loser. Log onto the next and kill again. Repeat for more characters.

Premium is recommended for getting into blocks to kill him. Be fast!

neither because they're both worthless, so don't expect a real answer - there is none

you may as well have asked if it's better to have power III or shoot III on a force.

I guess all resist because you only end up wasting one slot on a junk affix rather than three?

[Asuka~]

Yeah. Pretty much what KatsuraJun-sama said.

[Sandmind]

I didn't ask you for what abilities to put on my units. I asked out of the two choices, which is better?

Well, specialist resits are +3 at lv1 and gain +1 by lv, and all resist start at +1 at lv1, but cover everything. I dunno if it cover elemental resist also, if it does, then I'd say go for it.

Edit: Only way to make resist affix worth it would be stacking a lot of defense unit/affix/skill tree together and this game lack the concept of tank/healer/dps trinity of old type mmorpg. As an online action rpg, when you can negate damage by dodging or blocking, defense only matter more when doing lot of solo. Or if you got enough money to throw at a 2nd unit set purely for defense and use chat shortcut to switch on the fly I guess.

[KatsuraJun]

you can't make defense "worth it," ever, unless there's some kind of offensive use for it (automate, massive hunter, toughness time)

the reality of tank builds is that a guy who can block and step dodge with a full fury tree, atk affixes + massive hunter and war cry tanks just as well as the guy with a full tank tree and defense affixes with war cry.

arguably better because the fury guy is generating even more aggro by actually dealing damage.

stacking more useless shit together doesn't make it not shit, it just makes it an even bigger shit.

Oh really is that all it does? I was under the impression that the "weak element" damage did 2x. So I guess its not that much of a big deal then. Thanks for explaining.

nah, this isn't PSU

the only time you really need to pay attention outside the listed class is weapons with racist latents, since having a light native hunter weapon is kind of silly.

[Hatsodoom]

Ok, nice to see some serious answers. (Also I think All Resist only goes up to Lv3.) So, simply put, what's the best process to Ability Affix these abilities onto a unit?

All Resist3/Spirita5/Stamina5/Technique5/(Monster Soul)

Again, don't tell me what I should or shouldn't have on my units. Just tell me what the process would be.

Is it possible we may do some kind of joint campaign with the Dragonkin in the future, as we did the Lillipans? I know we fight the dragons... but the ones we fight are infected, and even as early as the FC story quest, you've gained the approval of 1 (almost 2) of the clans... (I have not yet run the Sanctum story, though, so I'm not sure what happens there)

Personally, I'd just be really curious to see what they do with the idea, if it ever has any work put into it

[Scale of Judgment]

If you want to main RA, what's an ideal sub to use? Or so I guess the pros/cons of any?

Gu for burst damage from chain trigger
Hu for survival ability and utility.
Br for Weak Stance sniping. Average stance also works for overall dmg increase.

[Saagonsa]

Gunner and braver would both be good for burst damage builds, but braver with an all class bow would be better due to banish arrow. Hunter is more for general damage and not getting your shit wrecked the second something hits you.

[Anduril]

What are the best PAs for Bouncer? And can they use techniques?
Can't help much for the first one; Bouncers can use Techs, but only Jet Boots have a casting animation and the T-ATK to fully utilize them, while Dual Blades are S-ATK based and have no casting animation.

[Anduril]

Ah, k. So mates aren't necessary on Bouncers with DBs, just have to get Resta?
You could see it that way, yeah.

[Xaeris]

HU is the favorite sub for RA, as it lends the most in damage multipliers, second only to FI, and those multipliers are virtually unconditional (you have to JA and be in Fury Stance, lol, so hard). In addition, HU also has Automate which is useful for obvious reasons, and Massive Hunter, which is incredibly useful for allowing you to use Satellite Cannon with impunity, among other things.

BR is another choice, in that Banishing Arrow and Weak Bullet make a very potent combination. It's a one trick pony, though it's one hell of a trick.

GU is an odd sub for RA in that most of the GU tree is designed to back TMGs and is worthless for anything else. APPR is cool, sure, but honestly, you can do better for a sub.

[Dark Emerald EXE]

BR huh......figured id have to level something else lol


So I suppose Weak/Average Stance > Fury Stance when it comes to damage?

Edit: Didn't notice people responded by the time I replied. Guess I'll be going RA/HU....maybe /BR if I ever level it on this char.

Currently have a Level 12 Crafted Level 3 potential firearm for my rifle....idk what the best launcher is but red scorpio seems to still be nice.

I'd like to clear things about RA subs.

RAHU / RAGU / RABR are all viable combo, all capable of doing high damage, especially when it comes to killing bosses. The 3 are good, but 3 different playstyles.

HU sub: unlike the BR sub, you'll get more consistent damage simply because you get a JA bonus > higher damage to break non-weak parts. Massive Hunter+Automate Heal lets you spam 5 SC or more (if you have the PP) Sat. Cannons in the middle of a TD Goldies wave, without dieing, just with 750HP. Massive Hunter doesn't just mean more survivability, it also means less time knocked down/back, less time spent on running from a boss, dodging hits ALL THAT is going to lead to more damage.

BR sub: you go BR and not HU because you want to use a bow. You want to use a bow because Banish Arrow+Last Nemesis on a WB'ed weak spot in a deadly combo. You'll still deal decent damage using a launcher and rifle, but your damage on non-weak parts are going to be shit tier.

GU: Perfect Keeper+Chain Trigger+Zero Distance+200 R-ATK (if you max the R-atk up on GU tree) > that's just as good as a RaHu combo at killing bosses, maybe even better. Access to TMG but IMO RaHu and RaBr will probably be better at mobbing than a GuHu because you want the Sharpshooter boost and Sharpshooter isn't Zero Distance friendly :|

Currently, the best Launchers are:

1. Ares (13☆)
2. Vault Hauser (Fury Combo latent)
3. Red Scorpio (BH latent)
4. Arms Legacy (AO latent)
5. The Fucking Racists

Rifles ... well, the Ares > yas7KV > punisher > racists :| Oh and the Holy Ray has a new +20% HE latent, that's not that bad. And good old Arao still a nice AR.

[manthisis]

I'd like to clear things about RA subs.

Wasn't my question, but thanks for the info. Thinking about creating a Ra/Br. Is the only thing you do is just WB + Banish Arrow weak spots, or do you also use launchers and rifles as well?

Also, are launchers or rifles better, or do they serve diff. purposes?
