A Guide to Setting Up Friend Partners (mostly updated for Ep3)

[TaigaUC]

Mine are popular too. Shame I can't accept friend requests anymore, because I can't get rid of all these people who may have or may not have quit 2-3 years ago.

Thanks, SEGA.

Oh yeah... I remember somewhere you mentioned 'fps restock when they go back to the campship', so you're implying friend partners also have a limited number of healing items like any player, which means It would be limited to 5 star atomizers, yeah? Wondering how necessary it is to put resta on the subpallet when i have star atomizers.

[TaigaUC]

Yeah, they have a limited number of consumables.
Bots won't always throw up Star Atomizers when you need them to, so it depends on how often you get hit and how many bots you're bringing that will use Atomizers and Resta.

They won't use Resta or Atomizers unless someone nearby has less than full HP.

Right, though I have noticed they do use star atomizers way more readily. I guess there's no replacing resta with them entirely on an FP if they only carry 5 like a player does.

I think I just saw two of my FPS use Rebirther Field.
Is it a white and pink sparkly ring around them?
They both used it at Gwanada in Naberius 2. No one was dead.

Edit: Never mind, it was just the Tech Mag SP Auto Action.

Rare mastery skills working or not still unknown?

[TaigaUC]

I don't remember.

Anyway, JP friend did some testing today and found that weapon element and grinding now yields a very slight damage increase.
Note that rarity and weapon damage seems to have no effect.
So a +10 1 star will be as good as a +10 13 star.

A few questions:

Te/Hu or Te/Fo?

Does the weapon element matter for FPs, like if the weapon is light, will it do the same damage to all enemies or extra damage only to darkers?

I'm using Te/Hu, Is it best to just slot one offensive technique like Iilfoie to use or should I only slot support techniques so my FP only wand whacks and uses support buffs? I imagine techniques aren't all that effective considering Hu sub, so I'm thinking it'd be better to not have offense techniques at all.

[Sandmind]

TEHU make for a better surviving buffing bot, add megiverse or zanverse so they spam it between the occasionnal buff. FP still see a wand as nothing more than a casting weapon, they don't whack anything.at.all.

For an ilfoie/other attack tech spammer, obviously FO work better.

I don't remember enough about the gear for FP, except that they mostly only looked to weapon affix a while ago (latent are useless iirc).

[Kayarine]

There's no reason to sub Hu on FPs anymore. Ever since they buffed FP HP, they almost never die, even as TeFo. When my FP uses a Star Atomizer, it heals him for like 2.3k HP... lol (so approx. 4.6k HP with Deband Toughness)

I suggest just using TeFo for better Resta at very least. Whether it spams Ilfoie or Megiverse is up to preference.
