Have the drop rates been figured out in PSO2? It would be nice to know the percentage so that we could add-up the boosting and see our chances.

All the data we know so far is here

https://sites.google.com/site/pso2db/home/drops

[LonelyGaruga]

That thing's not really accurate. Especially the section about gunslash, that's just plain wrong. Every class gets the class drop bonus for every gunslash. Stick with swiki's link (http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?%E3%83%89%E3%83%AD%E3%83%83%E3%83%97%E6% 9D%A1%E4%BB%B6%E3%81%BE%E3%81%A8%E3%82%81) and google translate it.

[Magicks]

Two questions;

1. How does Illbarta work? I remember reading that it amps damage the more casts, and that the chain resets on the 7th cast dealing a lot of damage, but I sometimes feel that I'm not doing any at all. I barely break the 50k mark at times. Is that normal for an off-build? (As in not specced for Ice Techs, FO/TE with a non-matching element rod. I'm still trying to get one. @@)

2. What's the best way of farming Queen Vera?

[LonelyGaruga]

Ilbarta does normal damage for the 1st-3rd casts, 200% (doubled) damage for the 4-6th casts, then 800% damage for the 7th cast. Uncharged is 50%/100%/200% respectively. You're probably doing fine, Ilbarta by itself is one of the weaker ice techs right now. It's actually not all that much stronger than Namegid on its final hit.

Queen Viera is currently exclusive to Fang Banther EQ, so I guess just spam boosters there.

I've been wondering this for two goddamn years. What are those gray chat text boxes that randomly appear on your screen while you're in the lobby, that simply say "..." and have no character name, and don't appear in your message log?

That means someone said something in the lobby in /a but you are out of reach to "hear" and thus read it.

Off topic, I need the help of a PSO2 math pro. Until I managed to get one of the 13* Weapon, I was looking into changing my current Force weapon and I've narrowed it down to 3 choices:

1- Baren Gokou because of Discerning Eye
2- Vasetail for Shadow Formation
3- Evil Nochiuhau for Fatal Activity

In a scenario where I was all of these weapons would be grinded to 10 with a Lv3 potential and using a the elemental weakness of an enemy, which one would come out on top in terms of damage?

[Miles064]

Were do you aim on bal rodos for sat cannon? Every time i try it hits from the top doing 6ks and not getting the weak shot bonus. I have tried both tps and free aim and it still hits the top.

Evil Staff Nochiuhau. It's pretty self-explanatory, its potential is 15% (the first weapon is 8%, the latter caps at 15%) and has higher T-ATK than the other options, so it will always come out on top in the given circumstances. It even comes with 10% PP regen speed. Only thing is, it drains 5% of your HP every 20 seconds, but Resta/Megiverse can fix that.

Hey hey, I had the feeling you'd be the first to answer, you always seem to have the knack for these questions. Ya, my money was on Evil Nochiuhau, but you never know with elemental weakness and all. Alright, time to start hunting some Magatsu Sai to get one (or get enough Shiva Ash Pyroxene in the process to buy one)

Thanks

You cant hit his weakspot,anymore with SatCan since the hitdetection was changed to top to bottom instead bottom to top.. Your way to go now with rifle is to spam Glorious rain on rodos

[Charmeleon]

No, this is incorrect. You can still hit the weak point with SC. You have to TPS a bit in front of Rodos's lip so that just the edge of the beam hits.

[Bellion]

You can, just need to hit with the splash next to the tongue and not aim directly on it.

Is there a thread about Tech Craft Recipes or Tech Recipe walkthoughs?

[Sizustar]

Is there a thread about Tech Craft Recipes or Tech Recipe walkthoughs?

Don't think so, it's pretty straight forward, as the merit and demerit are clear on what it can be.

So just choose the recipe that best suit your style.
But generally, PP cost > Cast speed > Range > Power

Does the efficient megiverse 3 craft ever get a -9pp cost merit on a great success without support items?

I've only ever seen great success on the cast time demerit, and after a teammate got -9 from efficient megiverse 2 with no support items, I'm questioning if the smaller merit range (-4 - 10) is why it refuses to do -9pp at least (and getting annoyed at wasting frags and time on something that just might not work).

[EspeonageTieler]

The smaller range will only help get a better merit; no way can it make it worse. You're just getting screwed by RNG.

[shots28]

When people say to craft the unit with level 3 PP, what do they mean by that? Does it mean to extend it with T-Def 3 times until level 3? I crafted my Hiei (Rear) from level 1 (T-def) to level 2 (T-def) and I didn't see any increase in my PP.

[Perfect Chaos]

No. It means to extend to level 2 using any recipe, then use the special recipe that gives you +10 PP on the third level. Those uses R-ATK Fragments.

[Shadowth117]

When people say to craft the unit with level 3 PP, what do they mean by that? Does it mean to extend it with T-Def 3 times until level 3?

They probably mean a separate, more recently released craft. For levels, 3, 8 and 10 on 11* units, you can do a special craft that gives the unit 10 pp innately.

[Anduril]

When people say to craft the unit with level 3 PP, what do they mean by that? Does it mean to extend it with T-Def 3 times until level 3?
At lv20 weapon/unit crafting, you unlock special lv3 recipes: an S-DEF that gives 100HP, an R-DEF that gives 10PP, and a T-DEF that gives 30HP, 3PP, and 4% Resistance.

[shots28]

Ahh I see... Ok, thank you very much for your answers

Edit: Sorry, this brings me to a new question. Cirno says I get Goldrias/Goldams/Goldlegs from desynthesizing, but doesn't specify what kind of units. Do you guys know what kkind of units I need to desynthesize to get them?

[Dephinix]

Been a while, but I'm pretty sure you can only desynth up to Silva mats. To get Golds you need to go to recycle shop and trade Silvas in.

[Kitess]

I'm trying to get use to using keyboard and mouse instead of gamepad and i remember when i first started i could switch palettes using the num keys which was convenient since i have a naga but now they just open random menus how do i change this?

Desynth 11* units, so stuff like Saiki units, Magatsu's rear unit, Brisa set. They give Silva mats then you trade them into the recycle shop for Golds.

[Dragonpie852]

Is there any point in maxing out limit break? Or is it only worth adding 5 sp and spending the other elsewhere? Also would it change depending on if u were gonna go fi/hu fi/br or fi/bo?

[Dephinix]

It depends alot, and yeah, for Fi/Bo for instance, I use 8 points for 45 seconds to match PBF. If you use Crazy Heart more Limit Break time becomes a lot more useful too.
Using Partisans as a Fi/Hu, I max Limit Break because why not. You can guard pretty easily. It just depends on, are you actually going to be using the duration or not.

[EspeonageTieler]

can anyone recommend me good units to hold me over until i can start farming the good stuff? like easily obtainable ones (matterboard/quests) im a hu/fi if that matters

Buy the 9* sakai set, or make the zieg set if your level is high enough

[Dephinix]

The Hiei set from MB 3-1 at F-1, C-3, and C-5 will hold you even till VH. Extend them during VH or SH to get some more time out of them until you can get a decent affixed set.

[EspeonageTieler]

Buy the 9* sakai set, or make the zieg set if your level is high enough

ill work on the zieg COs but how much do sakai usually cost?

[Dephinix]

リア／ヒエイホウヨク
アーム／ヒエイソウ
レッグ／ヒエイショク

Looks like 10-50k, or you can get them for free and with 4 affixes from MB3-1.

[KazukiQZ]

'Sakai' xD

But yeah, Hiei set works just fine until you're able to obtain the next advanced unit set ( Or you can just keep using it for a while too). Been using one for my TEHU (with special craft lv3 PP and HP) and works wonder for its easy access and rather cheap cost to make.

[EspeonageTieler]

So does the type of defense on units not matter?

[Yamishi]

Is Arks-Layer down?

[LonelyGaruga]

So does the type of defense on units not matter?

Not really, because all high-end units also have high defensive capabilities, to a point that the only reason to worry about your defensive stats is generally when you specifically build for tanking hits, and having extra HP is more important than defenses or resistances, as HP defends against all types of attacks simultaneously.

As far as the best defensive sets go, an HP crafted Brisa set (+80 HP set bonus) and Magatsuhi + HP crafted Vento/Uranus set have the best defensive stats.

[wefwq]

So does the type of defense on units not matter?
Not really, lots of people just want certain set for it's bonus set.
High-end unit also has a good DEF/resist stat on them, check wiki to see which one you want/need.


Is Arks-Layer down?
Yeah, looks like it's down.

[Selphea]

If they have low base DEF you can just overwrite it with crafting.

[Bellion]

Thank you for buying.

[EspeonageTieler]

Which set of units should i get from zeig? Not sure which ele res is best

[LonelyGaruga]

Elemental resistances are like, the least important thing to consider.

S-DEF set has the highest HP and S-DEF, and lowest PP. Pretty much strictly for tanking, and it isn't even the best unit set for that, but it does excel at taking S-DEF and tech based attacks among the Zieg sets.

R-DEF has second highest HP, highest R-DEF, and second lowest PP. Doesn't really do anything well, but it does have the best ability to take ranged attacks, even better than S-DEF set.

T-DEF has the lowest HP, but the highest PP. Pretty much the "normal" set to go for, since it's best geared for offensive use. Unless you want to tank, go for this. It's still not that great though, since R-ATK and T-ATK has crafted 9*s for their best offensive sets.

DEX doesn't really do anything well and isn't worth mentioning.

[Dephinix]

Crafting also removes element resistance, aside from the set bonus, so just brush that aside.

[Selphea]

Do only certain status effects affect certain bosses? or can something like posion be applied to every monster/boss in the game?

[Anduril]

Do only certain status effects affect certain bosses? or can something like posion be applied to every monster/boss in the game?
Some enemies are immune to certain SEs and big icon bosses can only get certain ones, but those are a special type that is unique to the boss and (I believe) won't trigger Chase skills.

[LonelyGaruga]

Do only certain status effects affect certain bosses? or can something like posion be applied to every monster/boss in the game?

Mobs are usually affected by all status effects, with occasional exceptions (insect darkers and many aquatic darkers are immune to poison, and VC dragonkin and their palette swaps are immune to burn, for example), while mid-bosses and bosses are immune to most, if not all, status effects, and have varying vulnerabilities to them depending on the individual (mid) boss. Bosses also universally have special reactions to status effects instead of the typical effect applying to them (such as shock immobilizing Falz Arms and Dark Falz Elder).

[monkeyscythe]

Dang that sucks, makes the status potential/chase pretty eh then i guess?

[munekun]

This may be a hard question to answer but i am thinking of buying 2 additional mags. But i would like to level up multiple classes but I do not want to have to purchase a mag for ever class I plan to level. So basically I want to ask Would a pure S-ATK mag be use able for hunter[Wired lances mainly] Fighter[ Dual ..is it swords for fighter?] Bouncer[ purely dual blades.] and Would a pure r-atk be good for a braver[ pure bow.] ranger [pure launcher] and is gunner s-atk or r-atk?

Gunner is R-ATK. Having a pure R-ATK and a pure S-ATK will cover almost every class combo except casting.

[LonelyGaruga]

Dang that sucks, makes the status potential/chase pretty eh then i guess?

Yeah, because it'll only ever apply to mobs and mid-bosses, and only if they have a SE applied. Chase Advance itself actually got nerfed in EP3, it used to be a 140% increase instead of 125%. Baffling as to why it was nerfed.

Yes to S/R-ATK mags, Gunner is R-ATK no matter what attack it does, it has striking and ranged attacks but they always use R-ATK.

31 light if they aren't the same Weapon, 40 if they are (might be less since it is below the level of the base weapon, need to verify). Attribute Grinding. (http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/enhance_2.php#nav)

[ArcaneTechs]

If I use a weapon with, say 5 fire element, as material to grind a 30 light ele one, does it results in 35 or 40 element?
Synthing with the same weapon type will only boost the weapon your doing it to by +1 even if it's the same element.

Synthing with the same weapon but different element will always add +10 to it, however adding the same element and same weapon will add the two %'s together.

i.e.
28% Fire Sange+35% Fire Yasha= 29% Fire Sange
28% Fire Sange+35% Ice Sange= 38% Fire Sange
28% Fire Sange+35% Fire Sange= 50% Fire Sange

^To add to that, it also use from the lowest one to the highest. So, Monomate->Dimate->Trimate. General rule is Automate user should not bring any monomates around, as the heal from it is most of the time isn't enough to bring your HP back to full (or to safe zone).

Doubt it, I've only beaten Magatsu on XH about 3 times since I've always done it for EXP before maxing out.

If it's only happen when you using tweaker, post it on tweaker thread maybe, but if JP launcher are the same then something is wrong with your rig.
Do you run PSO2 before, or it's the first time you trying to run PSO2 on your machine?

[LonelyGaruga]

So you'd say that I would get more out of 2 rounds on XH than I would with 3 or 4 on SH or VH?

You should be able to do 3 runs of XH anyway. 4 if your MPA is good enough, but that requires you to pull work too. XH drop rates are extremely good so it should be better than doing 4 on SH.

And you should always run XH phase 2 anyway, so might as well be on an XH block for that to ensure you actually clear it.

[Ryziou]

So you'd say that I would get more out of 2 rounds on XH than I would with 3 or 4 on SH or VH?

Yes but as the above post said, you should always get 3/4 runs in.

[shots28]

Does JA->dodge/jump->JA count as consecutive JAs? Or it's strictly JA->JA->JA?

[GHNeko]

The latter.

[TheszNuts]

Yes but as the above post said, you should always get 3/4 runs in.

Actually this depends on how you intend to run the EQ. The above would work for those with only 1 or 2 chars, however anyone with 3/4 chars would run lower difficulties to grant more AIS runs.

[the_importer_]

Well the MPAs on my ship seem to be able to do about 3 runs on SH and 2 on XH in average. Of course, I'll play phase 2 in XH since we can only play it once anyway. Guess I'll be waking up before 08:00 to do the Magatsu on Sunday, hopefully, I'll get at lease to 50 stones (need 100 to get the 12* weapon).

Rare weapons have minimum damage equals 90% base atk, but crafting discards this feature and your minimum damage depends solely on DEX. Silva-tier crafted weapons have hidden bonus DEX so they are not really that bad like before.

Depending on what you decide to craft its still worth it.

Hi!

I forgot my Sega/PSO2 email u.u I only know my SEGA ID and password. Any way to know the email from my account?

(sorry for my bad english btw)

[nguuuquaaa]

so they arent worth going for if you dont use a dex build?

As stated before, they have hidden bonus DEX if the materials for crafting are silva, so you don't need too much DEX on your mag and equipments to use them effectively. Though the more the better, and Saiki can cover 80 DEX for you, plus there are many abilities come with free DEX, like Bayari/Siorg/Diabo souls.
I personally use a lot of crafted weapons and still do quite consistent damages, so I say they are definitely not bad, but not as good as non-crafted weapons.

P/S: there will be gold-tier crafting for 11* weapons in the next update. Maybe those weapons will require less DEX, who knows?

[Arkios]

Are Support Partners useful for anything outside of free CO XP when you're logged off?

Right now I have all 3 loaded up with COs (8-10) when I log off just as free XP for when I log back in the next day. I've tried using them as partners when soloing, but they seem useless.

Are there any setups that actually make them mildly useful for soloing purposes or should I continue to just use them as XP bots?

[TheszNuts]

Support Partners aren't exactly good in that manner in the first place, and the only thing that affects their stats is the rarity of what you give them, so if you give them 1-3* fodder expect their usefulness to scale along with it.

[Perfect Chaos]

P/S: there will be gold-tier crafting for 11* weapons in the next update. Maybe those weapons will require less DEX, who knows?It's been confirmed that 10* weapons will also get a higher craft level, so those will most likely use gold-tier materials, too. It would be nice if those give significantly more DEX.

Is there a block ppl go to for ultimate quests? Just hit 70 and would like to try it

[KazukiQZ]

^Your best chance would be searching for 'parties in Another Block' and see which block has most parties for UQ (that is not locked). My tried before lead me to B24 and B213. It's kinda random.

[emeraude]

Is there a block ppl go to for ultimate quests? Just hit 70 and would like to try it
Likely to be the first 2 Ultimate Quest blocks on your ship. 25/26 iirc.

You'll see mostly Anga farming though so most parties would be locked until they find an Anga.

[Perfect Chaos]

At this point, you might as well should just wait half a week. Then everyone will be doing Ultimate Lillipa on every XH block. LOL But I imagine that Naberius UQ will be completely dead when that comes, so if you need to complete the Zandion CO, then you probably should do that now.

So, you created your Deuman free of charge during that time? If yes, this need more confirmation from other players with same situation. If by logic, you *can* create another character after deletion, free-of-charge, but sometimes thing can go wrong. Do wait before deleting till it's confirmed tho.

What is the best possible unit set for purely r-atk?

[final_attack]

What is the best possible unit set for purely r-atk?

Tian set (for +90 R-Atk and +10 PP, 2 piece only) or XQ set (+90 All-attack and 1 or 2 elemental resistance, I think ...... if you care about a tiny resistance boost and doesn't care about PP at all, 3 piece) your choice.

Of course, feel free to craft them for other bonuses of your choice.

Or the usual Saiki for PP ....... or Burisa for HP. Though both only gives +60 Attack.

Edit : Or if you're using Magatsu Sai's Tmg as main weapon ....... then Magatsu Sai's set.

hi, thanks for the in depth reply. I've really never crafted before so i have a question if you don't mind.-http://pso2.cirnopedia.info/craft_2_16.php#nav on this link under ranged- where it says parameters and has a bonus say you level it to 1 you get hp+20 and pp+2 when you level it to level 2 do you get ANOTHER hp+20 pp+2 making it hp+40 and pp+4? sorry if that sounds confusing lol. and is there any downside to crafting units or weapons?

[KazukiQZ]

@munekun
Nope, the bonus is still just HP+20 and PP+2.

Downside of crafting?

For unit: The original hidden bonus on unit disappear, replacing it with new crafted ones. Set bonus is still there though.

For weapon: Rare weapon lose their 90% minimum damage range (except for Red and Blue series, which already have 55% minimum damage, despite being rarity level 7), replacing it with 55%, making you do deal inconsistent damage. This however can be upgraded somehow to around 65-80%, depending on the weapon's rarity. You also lose usable class status if it was multi-class by default, UNLESS you got lucky can crafting grants you more available class usage.
Generally, you need to reach crafting level that requires SIlva-material to achieve this upgrade. And for weapon 10* and above, most of them are better off uncrafted, unless you know the risk and reward of crafting.

Also, speaking of Tian set, craft them up to level Extend 2, and then search in Visiphone (or craft it yourself if you have the recipe), the Special Craft lv3. Either Special Craft HP(+100) or PP(+10) is good, depending on your needs. These recipes can be found under the 'unit with S-def' and 'unit with R-def' tab, respectively.

No, the bonus is HP+20/PP+2 for all RDEF non special crafts on units. It replaces your normal unit bonus. For example if you craft to RDEF LVL 1 a Blitz Symbol, HP+20/PP+2 overwrites the Blitz's normal unit bonus of HP+30/PP+3.

Opinions on which version of Lucky Rise armor (Arm & Leg) from the Excube Shop is best if you had to get them? Max S-DEF, a little more balanced, or what? I guess this question would work for armor in general

[Dycize]

You pick the set that has your favorite set bonus, then you craft the units. Really don't bother with their base stats, because they were kinda weak when they came out, and they're even more nowadays.

[Anduril]

In this situation, you will still need to pay to recreate the third one. Since it was free to create the third one, it filled the second free slot, and once you have more than two character slots, you have to pay to recreate the third (or fourth, or fifth, etc.); it's not a matter of the what order the character was created in, but the number of slots, so even if you delete your first character, you would still need to pay to recreate.

Question: Why do some lv 75's play on normal eq's?

Question: Why do some lv 75's play on normal eq's?
Depending on the EQ (Magatsu and Falz), it could be to trigger the flag for phase 2 on all their characters.

[KazukiQZ]

^Yay for 4 times Magatsu 2nd phase (not me tho, I have only three chars :()

[nathanielzor]

Question: Why do some lv 75's play on normal eq's?
1. To trigger phase 2 for Falz' and Magatsu on multiple characters for hopes of more drops.
2. Decent way to farm Elder units on Falz Arms, however they're not worth much anymore.
3. Really rare but you could spam normals for the quest clear Team Point bonus.

Edit: Heeeey, you tried Gu/Fo and you don't even which of Gu's bonuses apply universally to techs and striking attacks? o_O

[LonelyGaruga]

Why did you put Te/Bo mobbing on par with Gu/Bo (B-)? It's at least on par with Hu/Bo and Fi/Bo (B+, more like A). Wands are wands. Nothing more really needs to be said about that. The tech damage also warrants at least a B for bosses. Te/Fi and Te/Br have devastating wind/light/dark techs that would get an easy A. While /Bo is weak, it isn't so much weaker as to fall two grades. To give an idea, /Bo gives almost as much tech damage as /Fo does (more with SAAB). I'd nitpick about Bo/Br but that's a joke class anyway.

[Selphea]

Well the As would mean solo XH Goldras and solo UQ, and Wands on XH Goldras is risky while in UQ, Zondeel resistance makes it hard to get quadratic damage. Even Hu/Bo and Fi/Bo DB with Dispersion IMO don't fare as well as FiHu or TeHu in UQ. IYO though, if Te/Bo can Zondeel smackdown a group of XH Goldras before they can go tatsutatsuOTGstomp dead Te/Bo I'll upgrade it to B+.

I'd nitpick about Bo/Br but that's a joke class anyway.

On bosses it's usually a question of can it stunlock/instakill/hover conveniently above mechanics and never have to worry about getting hit. Even if Te/Bo has the same tools, without the DPS it still can't stunlock. And unlike Te/Fi, which only loses 20% vs non-weak and Te/Br which has Banish, Te/Bo pretty much goes all in on elemental weakness, which means only 3/6 elements can work well as far as techs go.

What usually gets WB'd in XH Magatsu after middle head face is broken, for the fastest kill? Been having problems because rangers are playing wb tag between broken and unbroken faces and switching bouncer stances midair drops me.

[Xaeris]

In the best rooms, the middle head is WB'ed again and everyone continues going ham on it in spite of the reduced damage. If Magatsu lasts beyond the first binding phase, the WB moves to the top head until it's broken, then back to the middle head. You may have a hard time getting people to heed this strategy outside the appropriate block though.

[final_attack]

Should be depends on the mpa though. Probably best to at least ask your party members where they want the WB (or maybe ask the mpa too) ..... some party I was in before (as WB slave), party members prefer stomach, some prefer top head (after it's red face's broken and both arms broken), some went for all unbroken faces.

But, if there's a WB tag, then the rangers itself should consider stopping WB tag, and pick one spot (1 or more should gave up picking the spot they want, and support others). Moving WB from 1 spot to another spot can hurt (not to mention downtime when all WB is depleted and in cooldown) o-o

Thanks, I'll see if I can get those to work. It's pretty frustrating to see WB jump all over the place (I remember one Magatsu where we were working on the left shoulder and the other ranger kept WBing the right one, because screw 4 runs right?).

^You can't reset it to level one tho. The stat down device only reduce the mag stat that you don't want by 1 point. For example, level 190 mag becomes level 189 (from 1 usage of the device, so you still can reduce it further by spending another 50 excubes).

Kestrel is a terrible chain finisher. Its animation length is 3.4 seconds while the Chain Finish window is 3 seconds, so the last few hits from the slashes won't connect. The 6 hits from the blade rain at the end fall well after the 3.4 second animation window so there's not even a ghost of a chance for them to benefit from Chain Finish either.

In total, that puts it at less than 18/24 hits x 2913 Power, or <2185 Power. Compare to Destruct Wing followed by 2x Heavenly Kite for 3369 Power, or if the hitbox is small, Destruct Wing followed by 2x Justice Crow for 2665 Power.

The funny thing about this is when I watch JP videos, especially soloing XH/Ultimate, it's not surprising to see player HP hovering around 1000.

For SH Time Attacks, obviously minimum HP is fine though.

I'd say affixing priorities would be 60 ATK first, then as much HP and PP to feel comfortable with, then push ATK the rest of the way.

Problem with more HP is, it won't always give you more survavibility. If you get hit and flinch, you won't die because you can reverse roll. But if you have a little more HP, you won't flinch and can get a second hit (sometimes at the same time because of lag) and die :-?

^Yes, even 1 damage from N level enemies against a capped level 75 players can cause knockdown if it's the knocking down type.

Still, higher HP pool synergies well with Halfline Automate.

Is Anga Fundarge pronounced (Ang-uh fun-dar-gee) -- heavy gee as in geese

[Xaeris]

The kana is アンガ・ファンダージ with the ジ forming the "ge" sound. ジ is pronounced "ji" so it should be soft g; basically, the second one.

Is Anga Fundarge pronounced (Ang-uh fun-dar-gee) -- heavy gee as in geese

Going from the japanese name for anga, the correct reading is close to the second one since the 'ジ' character in アンガ・ファンダージ is read as "ji"

Is still useful to max Perfect Keeper if you use the pot of Evil Riruyupuke (the tmg that you get from Magatsu Sai)?

[Xaeris]

Yes. The potential ticks for 5% every twenty seconds. Not only would it take two minutes to deactivate Perfect Keeper on its own, the counter resets when you switch to a different weapon. So it's pretty easy to manage. The real problem, is that the damage counts against your gear. For daggers, that means a full reset, and for TMGs, Showtime can prevent gear loss, but One More Time won't proc. Probably resets High Time too, but I can't confirm that.

I'm having trouble understanding the use of Julius Nifta. I keep hearing a lot of good things about it, but I'm not seeing it.

MPAs. When multiple people link their PBs at the same time it, increases their power and duration; you can see it if you set your NPC partners to Chain PB and wait for their PB Gauge to fill before using yours.

[Lorne]

So is Julius Nifta only good if it's chained? Even then, if it has a bigger power and duration, how is it better than just spamming Zondeel and having everyone spam their attacks?

[Kondibon]

I'm having trouble understanding the use of Julius Nifta. I keep hearing a lot of good things about it, but I'm not seeing it. It only seems to last for a few seconds, and while its range is bigger than a Territory Burst Zondeel, on SH+ enemies will all happily run across the map into a Zondeel anyway, so why is the bigger range needed?

Thanks!Another thing to mention, is that with decent T-atk it will one-shot most small mobs. This is why, before they made it so PBs can't build the PB gauge, it used to be so easy to use it multiple times in a row in PSE bursts. Things would die as soon as they spawned.

I do agree though, if you have no T-atk weapon, and a Te in your party, then it's actually not that useful.

Is there a location with a detailed summary of the episode 1 & 2 story? I wanted to play it all before hittin episode 3 but I don't really have the time to waste .-.

Well, one of the reasons that Julius Nifta is good is that almost every other PB is worse. It's unique in that it has high damage, great mobbing ability, and a long duration, qualities that no other PB really combines. So your choices basically boil down to either Julius Nifta or Ketos Proi, for when the quadruple PP regen is superior.

Also, in a PSE Burst, no matter what, your goal is to beat as many enemies as possible before the Burst ends. Julius Nifta being able to pull enemies significantly further away than a Zondeel would is invaluable, especially in 12 player MPAs where enemy spawns are generally spread out enough that a Techer can only cover about 1/3-1/2 of them by themselves. The damage it does is also a nice bonus, talking at least 20K per tick as a tech user. Dunno about non-tech users though, but the utility is really the main draw. The ability to kill spawns faster simply by pulling them all together is just that big of a deal, and no other PB really has much utility in a Burst besides Ketos Proi, so Julius Nifta is a natural choice.

And then there's its utility in other scenarios, such as TAs and XQs. In XQs, you can use it before teleporting into a given floor, and Nifta will generally clear the entire floor, granted that there isn't a boss present. And in TAs, it's invaluable for its strategic timesaving uses. Other PBs just can't do these things.

I don't know about non-tech classes, but Techer itself actually makes great use of Julius Nifta since it has high T-ATK, and pulling enemies in allows it to focus on wand melee and start refilling PB faster, instead of the slower Zondeel > wand melee. Julius Nifta even stuns enemies, so it interrupts their attacks and guarantees that players can hit the enemies it pulls in. It helps that Ketos Proi is generally not useful outside of BA combos, and PP Convert fulfills a similar role, and no other PB is really worth using for Techer, so Julius Nifta is practically a winner by default.

[Lorne]

Thanks a lot for the comments, Anduril, Kondibon, and especially LonelyGaruga. I think I have a better understanding of it now. I'm going to try running it on my mag for a while and see if I can put it to good use. The tip about using it before teleporting into an XQ floor was pretty interesting! I didn't know it stunned either.

[KazukiQZ]

@LonelyGaruga

Non-tech class user: With Weapon that has T-atk on it, around 10-12k damage per tick. Without one, it's just around 4-5k, could be lower.

Also, thanks for your tips about Julius Nifta locking on the target that the player lock-on to. If anything, it's closer to the Ilios family that way.

You can see all the cutscenes from Episodes 1 and 2 from the Event Chronicle in your room without having to do the matterboards. There is also a summary movie available, but I'm not sure if it is translated.

Here's the untranslated video:

You mean like the NPC chatter when actually running a quest? No; most of that chatter isn't even translated since it isn't really vital to the story itself.
The Event Chronicle just shows all the Gold and Blue event tablets.

Random drops in ult.

[EspeonageTieler]

Random drops in ult.

ive only done ult once or twice but do disks drop for all classes or just the ones you play?

[Kondibon]

They're area drops so they all drop. You might be able to get them at level 1 from the photon drop shop though.

[000111]

Besides a crit build, what are some other classes that can fight well without needing a rainbow set of weapons?

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

That's SHAQ disks.

Bravers, hunters, fighters, JB bouncers, rangers, gunners as long as you're not using ancient oath-like potentials, or any subs that demand element matching.

Pretty sure I bought Chase Arrow for 1 Photon Crystal before, they should be there along with the SHAQ PAs.

[GHNeko]

This is correct.

Chase Arrow is 1 PC.

[Kondibon]

Well the JP wiki didn't list them so I figured I was just wrong. I dunno anymore. *curls up in a ball*

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

This is correct.

Chase Arrow is 1 PC.

For real?

Gotta check.

[LonelyGaruga]

Both SHAQ discs and UQ discs are available at level 1 at the Photon Drop shop, for the price of 1 Photon Crystal.

Which is strange, because they don't do that for any of the discs that drop from rare enemies, even though they're also level restricted (VH+ only) and drop from a very specific source (Haze Draal and rare Goldrahda/Vibras are the biggest offenders).

[Kondibon]

Actually the JP wiki has less info on the UQ disk than Cirnopedia now that I look... >_>

Also a few (probably the rare boss ones) seem to just be normal drops now because I regularly get zondeel drops from things like dagans...

You mean to tell me cirno is on the ball for once? Moreso than JPwiki?!

So how much attack on a unit would be considered "decent" nowadays with affixes?

[Kondibon]

So how much attack on a unit would be considered "decent" nowadays with affixes?I think 60 is what most people consider minimum for unit affixes.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

That's a bit subjective...

Well it's possible to get 100 atk in 3 affixes, but id say 70 per unit is expected between ult soul, and stat iv.

[GHNeko]

So I know that weapon drop rates are boosted based on classes it can be equipped by.

As in a TE/BR/HU katana will have a boosted drop rate if you're using TE, BR, and/or HU.

But is that effect only for main classes, or does sub class impact this as well?

I ask becaise I have a FI/BR and I want to get that magatsu katana, but I've been doing Magatsu Sai as BRBO and I want to know if simply doing it as FI/BR or BR/FI will futher boost the drop rate of that katana.

Anyway クラウチ・レプカ紅 is the costume.

Hairstyle is a bit harder thanks to how many short ones with subtle differences we have these days.

[Selphea]

60 from Soul/Stat3 is passable. Decent would probably be 80 with Vinculum rolled in.

Looks like Medium Cool (ミディアムクール) to me.

Has anyone tested the "extended range" on the support techs for Techer since the patch? If so, about how much further is the range now?

When do the Mag level down devices get released and is it true that they cost 50 Excubes for a single level?

[wefwq]

It's already available for purchase on excube shop, and yes it'll cost you 50 cubes/pc.
There's only one available and you can use it to decrease any stat you want (but please note it's one-time use item!).

[Ziel]

There's only one available

Wait i dont quite get what you mean there, as in only one time ever buyable?

That would be plain stupid but then again its SEGA and i cant play atm to check.

No, you can buy as much as you want as long you have tons of cubes required.
I just point out that those device are not broken into several types depending on what stat decreased.

[Azure Falcon]

Out of the choice between a Gunner or a DB Bouncer build, which of the two would be more manageable for a controller player? In terms of juggling switching between skills, weapons, chaining PAs and such on the fly. Just looking at making an alternate setup for when I don't feel like using my Jet Boots Te/Bo build.
