HUCast - by Eric

After playing a force character non stop for 60 hours up to level 38 I decided to give a hunter a try. I picked the hunter the furthurest from a force as I could get. An android. As soon as I hopped into the game the first thing I dod was go beat the dragon. At level 4 with a couple of daggers and 10 monomates the dragon died faster than I expected.

Then was the caves. The caves was easy to say the least. Running around with my brand new sword hacking 5-6 sharks at a time into sushi. After doing a few quests to get up to level 12ish I got bored and went to face Mr Snakey. With a big sword you can hit 5 parts of him at once, more damage in one hit than an entire saber combo. He was down before my mag even had time to charge.

Now the mines was next. Normally a haven for the force this was a nightmare for a TPless character. Flying creatures, Sinow beasts that jump across the room, and robots that just won't stand up and fight. Take a gun in if you want, but I just waited until the flying things came down to my level and gave them what I got. All in all it was a great challenge that I did well. Heading down into the mines to get to the Computer was tougher than the Computer itself. Running around destroying everything with my sword was fun. Then the second part. Still with my sword in hand and dimate in backpack I cut my sword in to him until he died. With a sword you can hit an outside piece of him and the inside core at the same time doing double damage. He wen't down fast.

Then after hitting the switches, always tedious, it was into the ruins. Claws, Demians(spelling), and Delsabers all fell in large numbers to my whirling sword. The sword was still a godsend, cutting up the large numbers of claws that always spawn in here. The biggest danger was the Chaos Sorcerors. If you didn't run to them and carve them up then you would lose half of your HP from a fireball. Nothing in the ruins was particularly hard, including the big bertha walking tin cans. Just get behind them and hack away.

When I got to Dark Falz at level 24 I thought I would be utterly decimated. How wrong I was. The very first part is always easy, killing 4 spinny things, then comes the 3 headed dragon thing. Doing heaps and heaps of damage each swing cutting through the heads you can kill him swiftly, especially so because you can *just* manage to hit the heads when they are not on the ground spitting stuff out. The next part was even easier, Keep attacking him, and whenever he did a fireball drink a mono/dimate. Very soon he was dead and I had completed normal at level 24.

Mag feeding

Give your mag anything that will raise strength. Monomate, Dimate, Trimate. In my mags current incarnation one Sol Atomizer does a higher increase in strength than 3 trimates. Remember to test for new likes and dislikes whenever a mag evolves.

Tips

Some things about a HUcast I found out that are fun:

  • Get the best weapon possible. Your weapon is everything. Its all you can use so the bigger the better.
  • No matter how much a sword reduces your ATP/ATA/EVP from a saber, being able to hit a wide range of creatures is a godsend
  • Androids can't get frozen, poisoned, paralized, and have automatic trap vision.
  • Androids can however get short circuited by lightning.
  • a HUcast has the most HP and the most ATP out of everyone. Kinda self explanitory, but I mean WAY WAY more than anyone else.
  • Bosses are the easiest with a HUcast for some reason. Even with no TP the huge amount of damage they produce just shreds a boss.
  • A HUcast can be deeper into the game than his level say he should be and still make a killing. The exp you get will raise you much higher, faster than staying where you should be, but by the time you get the to level you are meant to be at for an area you will be on to the next one.

I can't play online so all of this was done in single player. But most of it should count when online with other people.
