Techer Guide/Thread 2.0

[Ce'Nedra]

Just found this from rare Gal Gryphon. Don't mind the element I picked, personal bias >_>

Spoiler!

Latents
1: On attack at very close range 15% crit 6% power (lv1)
2: On attack at medium range 25% crit 5% power (lv1)

1384 S-atk and 1349 T-atk base at+10 Don't have any more Lamba Grinders so can't check beyond level 1.

How does this fare for melee techers?

[Rayden]

The close range potential gives 25% more crit rate and 12% damage at level 3. Strictly for melee, it's better than Ares since it has a slightly higher damage bonus and it doesn't depend on PB. It'd be much worse for techs though, since they could easily be out of melee range a lot of the time, and that counts for Zanverse too. Given a choice between that and Ares, I'd take Ares, but sadly there is no choice and you get what you're given.

Edit: Wait, it requires 450 DEX? Hallelujah! Another S-ATK mag equippable wand. Based on that, I will amend my above statement. Ares would be my preferred choice for TE/BR and TE/FI, but Fianisu wins for TE/HU.

[ZynischQ]

Ye, the gryphon wand looks quite decent for strike-focused te/hu, higher stats than slave cross and without the high TAtt req.

Potential looks serviceable, with 75% crit and a 12% boost to crit damage, although it requires full investment into shifta crit and fury crit.

[Rayden]

Wait, I thought the damage bonus applied to non criticals as well. Is that wrong?

[Shinamori]

Should I get the Techer sword?

Holy shit. I need this wand.

[ZynischQ]

Pretty sure the damage bonus is only on crits, otherwise it'd outclass ares in every way possible, which even for SEGA is a bit early a power creep.

[Bellion]

It's straight on damage in terms of range, the critical percentages are just a bonus.
The fighter weapons definitely outclass the Ares for this weapon series.
Can't say the same for any other weapon types since a majority of weapons have both decent close-range and mid-range attacks.
If you're that dedicated to only smacking with the wand and not casting with it from time to time beyond close-range, it does outclass Ares.

But no, 13* weapons are still pretty balanced amongst each other except for Slaves.

I don't see any use in casting as a melee techer whatsoever when you have melee weapons with ranged options, I see no reason why you would ever do so for direct offensive damage.

[Bellion]

Because not everyone plays Te/Hu, it's that simple.
