G Colony 5F

Yup. Event is in its early days, admittedly, but next week there's the second half to be released.

Gravity Break was nerfed on JP server first. It's since been given a damage boost but still only hits one target. Tornado Break is ridiculously god-powered on here though, so nobody misses it; but the real action is Assault Crush, which has about a 40% damage boost and hits two targets instead of one with the first two parts.

Other things to bear in mind, the extra GAS options (limit breaks for all techers except Force and Acrotecher for instance), class updates (axe for WT, grenade for FiG, pistol for FF, stat boosts for the three hybrids), daily stamps, etc.

If you haven't subscribed yet, I'd suggest waiting at least a little while until you've hit at least the fifties before considering it. Player shops are nice, sure, and hellz cheap, but lots of stuff drops easily enough.

I have just a few more question to add to this

1. I am pretty sure I will be playing acrofigher or acrotecher and was wondering now with the human suvs and gas system are they a stronger pick than casts for these roles now?

2. Knowing that I have to solo most likely all the way to 180 what would be your suggestion as far as types to use to get to a decent level like around the 60 or 80's?

3. I am planning to go subscribe to do innocent girl on c to level at a fast pace but I was wondering if there was a faster way to level up?

1. Human/Newman SUV is strong but its based off of ATP only so each class will affect damage. Casts are still better because they have more useful SUV's out.

2. Stick to acrofighter like you said, its a lot easier to gain MP than master classes.

3. Right now there's an event going on at 5th floor Colony so feel free to stay Free Course if you so choose.

About the Human SUV, at 180 it kills most spawns in the event that annoy me so IMO, it's good enough.

For AT, I would say almost certainly Human. Before, they were only 60ATP behind, but had so many more GAS points to make up for it. Not to mention, AT's good PAs are typically stronger on the first part (or sometimes only part) than the last, i.e. LOLDezza, so they benefit from higher EVP and Just Counter Damage+ more than other classes. At the same time, Dezza ignores ATA so that more or less negates the Cast advantage in that area as well. Throw in SUVs and it's pretty much a done deal IMO.

For AF, it's more about personal preference - IMO the main trade is 70 ATP and Ares for Divine Cataract, 400 EVP and the ability to max out both slicers and twin sabers (6 each - 5 PA and 1 Element+), put 2 points into cards or dual guns (1 PA, 1 Element+) and still have room for more. It's pretty much a given that both races will max ATP with GAS, so the remaining points on Human vs the minor stat advantages on Cast more or less cancel each other out. I'd say go with Cast if you're planning to run with Legsless and Human if you're planning to use Rapid Action. Although, if you plan to run Cast AF with Legsless you might as well go Cast FF with Core Shield.

2. Knowing that I have to solo most likely all the way to 180 what would be your suggestion as far as types to use to get to a decent level like around the 60 or 80's?

AF works. If not AF, maybe WT. When things go smoothly, AF is slightly faster, but WT's tankish stats and Giresta makes bad situations more manageable, like when you're underlevelled/geared and stuff doesn't die in 1 combo, then starts moving out of place and charging all over the room or shooting synchronized Diga/Foie. If not WT then FF for Cast or FI for Humans

[Willg]

Awesome, thank you very much this helps A LOT and you are a saint! I will try both AF and WT out for a little while to see how well they suit me early on and make a choice from there. That being said is there any PA or TECH buffs, and or nerfs I should know of that happened on JP that are not yet on Xbox360 servers? Just trying to get a feel for what type of weapons and PA's I should use.

P.S. I am sorry if I am annoying you i just like to ask questions I know it sometimes bugs the hell out of people. ><

There's quite a few changes. The main ones are:

1. Assault Crush is overpowered
2. Tornado Break does about 50% more damage and hits 6 targets
3. The new slicer PA, Retsuzan Souhi-jin is like Chikki in fast forward
4. The new whip PA, Vivi Dezza, is a 1-part PA that puts out more DPS than Tornado Break. At least, for WTs since they can't equip Tradicion
5. The new spear PA, Dus Skadd does good damage on the first part, which works well in cases where Assault Crush gets interrupted easily
6. Moubu Seiren-zan does about 30% more damage, which is a godsend for ATs and pointless for just about everyone else
