[WIP]Mariah's Guide to becoming a Magical girl (or guy)

Like i said, dont quote me on that info
The reason why energy ball looks like "crit", is maybe when cast energy ball, change it to main weapon. You know, you cast sanctuary, you change your weapon, and you receive more heal? Something like that.
For vit and dex, it's like a different between solo player and the "other" player. If you dont have any trouble finding party, with higher lvl player for example, then dont bother to add this stats (excluding if you're willing to use enma). Better to maxed up your dex for better crit.
Oh, and for adding wisdom if you already reach max affinity even without any aff mags, dont worry. If this game still exist, the future content will be raise our affinity cap to 4k.

Besides affinity and %skillforce, all the healing force (Energy Balls, Sanctuary, Healing, Cure, Healing Wave) will have different value when you have different total attack. (You can try with initial staff and endgame staff, or try attack increasing magatama).

For invigorate, there are 'invisible' threshold (still in investigation) to up the value. Some of the invisble threshold value for invigorate is your total attack, total MIND -> affects affinity, and your total Skill Force of level X.

OK. I'll post it again,

So I started a solo run into Echigo Normal, and as per normal values, I seemed to have gotten 17k for a three room bout. I didn't want to use a new booster until I mapped and got a feel of the area, but was there some sort of significance to the place that made it a training hotspot? I used some leftover time from a previous booster to gain some reward...still, I'm probably not seeing the charm of Echigo Estate.

Maybe I should post this question on that other guide about training. I can only guesstimate that a hell run would do, around 100k total? Or is this dependent on a five man run?

Ah, either way, my rambling is over.

Anyways!

I kinda thought Susanoo's Aramitama run was some super secret high risk high reward training zone that was limited by 6 tries...I'm disappointed, but I did get some nice friendship gear for my troubles. The sensory range was kind of broken, esp with those two twins...yech.

Update: Tried a hell run, mooks could withstand an ice glaive, learned my limits. Going to train with a party that doesn't scoff at my "low" level.

I try to look at more positive outlook today, and find my build is not that bad.

As a hybrid mage (with lots of MND) or hybrid support (with lots of WIS) :

Pros :
1.Higher Defense and Magic Defense (not squishy)
-> With Defense Mags and Anti-Criticals, I can semi-tank bosses at my level and lower level (not sure bosses higher level than me ).
2.More HP and SP
3.Higher Survivability, combined with First Aid IV/V and Energy Ball IV/V, I can fully-heal my own HP after getting hit from bosses.
4.Saving HP and SP sushis (I almost never eat those sushis)
5.More streamlined Attack/Defense, no need to wait for SP recov.
6.Can switch between Support/Attacker easily
7.Has range of wands/staffs to pick to.
8.Great at solo party
9.With excellent equipment and mags, can solo bosses too

Cons :
1.Need higher level to reach affinity cap and sufficient SP pool and recovery.
2.Need more money to reach 'acceptable' damage and support (more identifying weapons ).
3.Useless tank in party, since the boss got harder and got lots more HP.
3.Less damage than pure WIS, less heal than pure MND.
4.More time to finish dungeons when soloing.

Now if only invigorate could target solo, we wouldnt need sp pots...

Hybridization isn't a bad thing, as im slowly starting to branch out myself. If you find yourself with OC again, you could probably invest In a reset module, I believe they are 100 each, atm.

Also feed Amaterasu, her stat bonuses are very helpful.

3.Less damage than pure WIS, less heal than pure MND.

Uhh, what kind of build did you even do?
If you max wand affinity (which is at approximately 113 added wisdom), your damage does not change compared to someone who went full wisdom- which is why going pure wisdom isn't ever a good idea. Definitely your heals won't be as strong as a pure mind player, but you won't have less damage than a pure wis...

I'm more to WIS right now, has reached max affinity now,and enjoying solo very much ^_^. When party I usually act as support though, till I get one of the ougis..

So I just saw a wand user spamming skills in echigo, as in using 1 staff, and spamming the same skills consecutively, normal skills and ougies too. how do they do that? His name is AlexOP by the way.

Wand? It's usable. Fireball has low SP cost, quick cooldown, and high damage (the only 'decent' spell). It's my top priority spell. Its crits can count to 30k (at my level 57). You can stack the same skills using Skillcard Sets from item mall or from lucky boxes. Just press, 1,left clikc,2,left click,3 left click and it looks 'consecutively' by 'normal people'. Combined with magatama to cut cooldown and spellcast it's even faster + idaten's grace.
Combined with Ougis .

I should have taken a video, i think there's just something in his build. I know he drinks chidori because he stop and drinks something at some point. But i don't really think he's just pressing 1 2 3 consecutively. First, because he always cast 5 times in a row in split seconds. 2nd, because i have tried chidori and full maga cool downs, but casting ougi's consecutively is just not possible because of cool downs. 3rd, how can you cast ougis in 1 2 3, for 5 time?????????? do you mean he put ougis in 5 slots?????? using the same wand and just switches to another wand when casting a different ougi and skill. Dark gate is understandable because it has lower cooldown, but crimson and fujin/raijin, hell no! there must be something. The skill he's casting are Frost Glaive, Earth Glaive, Hellfire, Fujin/Raijin, Dark Gate, Crimson.

Are you sure it's Ougis? Ougis for wand are only Fuujin/Raijin, Dark Gate and Crimson Rays, and there are some delays for them to recast again.
Frost Glaive VII, Earth Glaive starting from V has a considerable cooldown too.
The only faster one is Hellfire and the Lightning Blast VII.
