Onigiri magic users: Glass Cannon Mode(no this isnt a guide)

[HelixDraxzonyx]

It *is* possible to be a Healer and still do decent damage. If you focus on using only Staves, max out MND as quickly as possible, and pick up some good Staff Skill Force Mags (and switch to Staff Affinity later on once your Affinity cap raises), then you can technically pull off the Healer role, it's just very tricky. Staves aren't the strongest weapons around, so your DPS will be lacking compared to say: Twin Swords. They also have limited ranging capabilities (and their ranged attacks are quite weak) so some bosses (like Beelzebub from my own experience) will be pretty tough to take down. That being said, Soul Strike VII is pretty badass, and the healing/buffing skills can be literal lifesavers. *If* you decide to create a pure Staff user some time in the future, I'd recommend upping their durability to around 4k. Some Staff skills (like Soul Strike) will devour your weapon's durability. Also, once MND has been maxed out, add some points to POW. I've read that POW increases attack speed a little, which with Staves is something you want (as well as the Swift Combo Card).

I can't give any more advice about Wands, since everything I can think of has already been said. Unfortunately, due to the way Onigiri has been made: Glass Cannon Mode is the only viable strategy since defence is meaningless, and there's no actual armour items. It's a case of max out DPS, learn to Just Guard, learn to roll whenever you're unable to Just Guard, and try to minimize Ping as much as possible.

TL;DR Healer *is* possible if you Glass Cannon, but there are better builds. Glass Cannon is the only strategy.

P. Atk Spd is the only attack speed. M. Atk Spd doesn't exist either. P. Atk Spd is just attack speed in general.

*P. Cast Speed*
Not Attack Speed.

LOL what... P. Cast speed isn't even a real stat where did u even come up with this.

Probably shouldve rephrased that to "reduced casting speed"

According to C$ casting speed is P. Attack speed

[Ryxa]

Spell cast speed and basic attack speed = P. Atk Spd
Rolling and Movement = Movement Speed
That's it.

oh wow the amount of replies since I left, anyway...


thanks Helix that will really help a bunch since I am going to try and be a healer later on.


and aside from that mini-fight over speeds that i just read over, that'll be really helpful to.


thanks you guys, for the help

(and the unintentional help, hehe.)

There's no point in becoming a healer later on, no one needs heals past lv 105 so yea.. you'll be just a useless leech since anyone can rapid storm, invigorate and strikeboost without maining staff.

Fixed.

You really should never take enough damage to warrant healing pre-level 40. After that, you can probably wear a Chiami. When you hit 105, you hate having hp.

Once I've got my new TV and can play again, Chiami will be top priority for my top 3 characters (the other 3 don't have Kaguya *just* yet. Albion *could* get her in a heartbeat, but I'm trying to get her bows sorted out first since I don't plan on getting new ones until Kyoto). Of course, that'll mean grinding Daiku Hard until the end of time trying to get Orange Glass Marble (I'd rather not have to spend OC just on that, plus searching through a crowd of bazaars gives me a headache and lags my computer). I've seen Virtual Demon crit for 30k, so having Chiami equipped would give a decent amount of health back, especially when I get stronger than I am now.
