NGS Master Class Tree Builds Discussion

[ArcaneTechs]

Recommended skill tree builds for all classes in one thread. These builds should hopefully point you in the right direction whether it's comparing your build to these or starting a new class. Take a look at a specific class tree build then consider a sub class to go with it from the Universal Sub Class builds. Feel free to discuss classes here or any of the class specific threads below.

Current Total SP: 47

Aelio = 20 SP
Retem = 10 SP
Kvaris = 10 SP
Stia = 7 SP

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take Note

1. Feel free to discuss any of the classes here. If you want to get more specific for a certain class, you're more than welcome to go to any of the class threads listed below and discuss it there.

2. Pick a subclass from the universal tab below

3. These builds are subject to change over time

4. These are Meta class builds

5. I will not be posting meme class/multi weapon builds for people to use

Skill Tree Simulator

Spoiler!

Blank skill tree for you to build however you want.

Universal Subclass

Spoiler!

These builds are intended as sub only use, so if you use only one character and main all classes then I recommend you adjust SP however you need.

Fo = PP utility + Tech Elemental bonuses.
Fi = Increased boss damage/PP recovery during down phases.
Gu = Alternative to Fo PP utility but with less PP income.
Bo = Good for solo boss content with emphasis on getting an additional down damage phase(s).

Multi-Weapon Suggestions

Spoiler!

- Wired Lance WA is excellent as a gap closer.

- Talis WA is excellent as a free PP recovery turret.

- Knuckle WA is considered one of strongest counters currently, as long as you're subbing Fi and have the 2 appropriate skills (Knuckle Sway Counter & KSC+), then it will work just fine if you feel the weapon your maining needs it.

Current Top Weapon Series & Presets

Spoiler!

This tab may be temporary, it depends how consistent Sega is going to be when releasing new weapons that cover some or all categories otherwise each class will have it's series meta updated in their respective threads. You should be able to identify each series by it's aesthetics.

Neos > Neos (L) > Gunblaze > Rugged > Obsidia

Fixa Attack > Fixa Fatal > Fixa Termina

Hunter Class Discussion

Spoiler!

-War Cry can be skipped, doesn't have much going for it right now.
-You can adjust the SP in Massive Hunter or Flash Guard to your preference.


Adjust subclasses as needed if you plan to use any weapons or skills from them.

Ranger Class Discussion

Spoiler!

-Ranger doesn't have much going for it right now so it's easy to grab all the essentials.
-Stealth Strike seems to be completely optional, genuinely you want the aggro

Force Class Discussion

Spoiler!

-All elemental Tech skills will need to be adjusted depending if you're subbing Bo, Gu or Fi.
-Photon Flare Short Cycle is optional, some prefer the extra Compound Tech dmg without a 10% loss from the skill & others prefer the fast tech charge dmg regardless of the 10% loss. I suggest 3 SP for a balance.
-PP Conversion/Recovery Boost still don't need to be maxed out unless you really feel like it (Fo basically has infinite PP right now that it doesn't need that).
-If you're going to use Talis, grab all the skills for it.
-Floating Pillbox Multirock gives the same amount of PP as if you didn't have the skill, it only insures that you will hit something/guaranteed PP.

Spoiler!

-Spiral Drive can be skipped
-Limit Break (Over Load) can be adjusted as needed

Gunner Class Discussion

Spoiler!

-You can completely skip the Rifle skills on Gu's tree as you will be using your TMGs 100% of the time for efficient damage.
-You don't need to invest much into Overwhelm
-TMG Alt Art PP Save (Preserve) is optional, there's currently not a big incentive to keep alternating PA's constantly right now.

Techter Class Discussion

Spoiler!

-All elemental Tech skills will need to be adjusted depending if you're subbing Fo, Bo, Gu, Fi.

Braver Class Discussion

Spoiler!

-3 SP into Brave Combat Short Cycle is sufficient enough (4 is max, you want a good balanced time in BC)
-You add the remaining SP into either Resta Effect Amp or Breakfall HP gain
-You can pull SP from the opposite weapon your maining if you don't plan to use it.
-Special Ability Optimization needs your highest atk stat spec'd to be put to full use. So if you main Katana but also want to use Bow, you NEED to add Melee dmg affixes to your Bow to see a dmg increase. At this point, you can just multi weapon your gear to save on resources.

-You can pull SP from the opposite weapon your maining if you don't plan to use it.
-Special Ability Optimization needs your highest atk stat spec'd to be put to full use So if you main JBs but also want to use DB's, you NEED to add Tech dmg affixes to your DB's to see a damage increase. At this point, you can just multi weapon your gear to save on resources.

Waker Class Discussion

Spoiler!

- You can decide how much you want in Resta Effect Contuance and Lucky Sign, adjust SP as needed.
- 1 SP into Reseta Effect Continuance is fine unless you want more in then adjust SP elsewhere.
- Max out Call Again PP Save in game, the sim seems to be missing the other 4 Levels.

Slayer Class Discussion

Spoiler!

-Gallant Attack Crit Up doesn't need to be maxed for a 1% gain, better to max Crit Up instead
-Adjust Critical Hit PP Gain as needed (50% is honestly good enough)
Adjust subclasses as needed if you plan to use any weapons or skills from them.
