Collaborative Weapon, Gear and Class Build Guide End of 2024 Revision

Welcome to Collaborative Weapon, Gear and Class Build Guide End of 2020 Revision !

This guide's revision purpose is to help new and returning players, but also current playerbase as well to discover Destiny PSo BB present optimal, alternative and past  gear strategies/possibilities. It focus in a later part  on possible builds for the various classes available.

It is based upon my personal experience with the game. I've been hooked in PSO around 2004 on Gamecube and since 2006 in different privates servers with hiatus between them.

Destiny PSo BB is for me the best experience and most enjoyable you can get from every aspect of the Endgame. Let's proceed :

First of all, this guide is non exaustive and can be corrected/completed by the community.

 

Thanks to @Orgodemirk , @Piv , @Howitzer @Lipelis  @VEL(JP) for their contribution

This list is updated by @VEL(JP)

 

If you are new to here, this tutorial would help you.

 

 

All class mag/material guide by @thanx is here: https://discord.com/channels/363947585154580480/1288152360715161620/1288812177486118934 (you need to join Destiny Official Discord)

 

Also an important point is that in this server : Weapons DO NOT Need a lot of Hit % to connect its special. From my personal observations around  270-300- to 330 total ATA is generally good enough to connect on most enemies, even less with Weapons which bypass manual evade proprieties.

Please use the Database at

For full descriptions and stats for each item within the game. You can also use Ctrl+F in your browser if you search a specific weapon

This guide includes my personal comment and % choice that I think suits the weapons the best,

About % choice :

 

A.Beast % is rarely prioritized. because A Beast covers Caves a place rarely visited in Endgame aside from specific hunts, Merillia, Doldolm (weak to Hell), Astark and Slimes. There is also the fact that some people might prioritize this particular % for Bosses but In my opinion if your goal isn't time attack it shouldn't take that spot or your should aim for a set of the chosen weapon. Because its clearly not optimal its like using a % slot for 3 A.Beast boss which you don't require 99% of the time instead of Machine or Native enemies which you'll meet way more in quests.

 

Hunter:

Exclusive addition to the server:

Spoiler

Dark Flow

It is combo unlocked here. under 12.5% HP its special attack will launch a wave which do not produce DMC (Damage Cancel) and exclusively here, the sword swings will produce damage as well giving you a risk/reward strategy if you decide to get close.

please note that the blast can ignites traps too.

The original requirement of under 12.5% was long to require in the past usually a Lavis Blade  was used to achieve that. But we have Ultimate Double Cannon which gets your Hp directly under 12.5 % under a full combo. See under

 

This is one of the few weapon ingame where a full weapon Set is heavily recommended either pick Native Dark Hit/A Beast Machine Hit, or Native A Beast Hit / Machine Dark Hit. depending of your preferences.

 

Master Raven

 

Master Raven is combo unlocked on this server and its stats is based on Last Swan

Its definitely a staple in Hucast/Humar and handy in a variety of situation the special isn't relevant so you don't require much Hit %

Prioritize Dark % and Hit the 3rd one can be either Native or Machine

 

Ultimate Double Cannon/Lavis Storm/Double Fury

(the picture is lavis storm and double fury)

 

 

Ultimate Double Cannon made from the combination of Dark Matter and Double Cannon.

Lavis Storm/Double Fury are made from the combination of UDC and Orb of Illusion depending on the hunter class which uses it.

The special attack unleash a cone of damage with mechgun range in front of its wielder in exchange of life consumed at the start of each attack.

It has also capabilities with a full combo to drain your HP under 12.5% which make an effective synergy with Dark Flow

Ultimate Double Cannon (UDC) Can be used in a lot of situations, casual cleaning also including distant spawns, Towers to get rid of Meri-types enemies and most Bosses

It also has a lot of spam possibilities with the high MST of Hunewearl

Good Against Sil Dragon Da Ral Lie Vol Opt 2  Dark Falz 3 Optimal (in conjonction with Dark Flow) against All Episode 2 bosses. Against the bosses of EP4

 

% wise I recommend Dark and Machine, Dark is obvious for quests with massive monster counts which takes place in ruins.

A set is possible if your inventory can carry it yet not vital yet the most important one is Dark Machine first.

 

UDC + Orb of illusion (with HUmar/HUneweal) = Lavis Storm (blue one)

UDC + Orb of illusion (with HUcast/HUcasel) = Double Fury (red one)

 

Stormrender / Twin Executioner

 (the picture is twin executioner)

A double saber with an unique special of long -range attack with handgun range. consuming a little HP when using the special.

 

It shares the unique proprieties of Christmas Spirit and Last Emperor (bypassing enemies manual evade) (usually manual evade is when a monster is moving making them harder to hit in motion)

 

Also when the special is used the blade still swings making it a weapon of choice for Lizards of Ep4 or Zu's and Also Falz 2 and 3 is very affected by it

 

The class that benefits the most of it is Hucast/Hucaseal but Its great in any if you don't have Last Emperors on Humans Imo

Please note that some ennemies may not be hit by stormrender special depending on their vertical hitbox and that the special doesn't hit 3 x ennemies at once

 

Storm Render + 4th Anniversary Orb = Twin Executioner (TE has alternative effect)

 

Christmas Spirit / Act of War

 (the picture is Act of War)

A formidable weapon hands down. Design-wise (Gatling gun shooting candy/laser). It has unique attack proprieties that bypass enemies manual evade (usually manual evade is when a monster is moving making them harder to hit in motion)

Its Special attack is Spirit which is Lethal in Human Hunter/Ranger wielding it especially Humar which has the most attack of the Human hunter.

 

 

It's deadly against the annoying Zu's and optimal as human for Falz form 3 or anything with lots of HP

 

 

% Preferred Native Dark Hit

You could even think about using a set, mostly if you're using Fomarl for its insane animation speed or any Human if you got room in Inventory

(UPDATE) Since Last Rebalance Christmas Spirit is useable by Force despire the animation seems a little worse on Fomar but now Force can with efficienty deal with Long Range Zu's and Falz 3 Form which is a great welcome change.

Christmas Spirit + 4th Anniversary Orb = Act of War (Act of War shots laser instead of candy)

 

Rathalos Greatsword / Terror Sawd

(the picture is terror sawd)

 

A unique Sword that produces explosion in contact with enemies bodies, walls AND Traps

 

Making it a weapon of choice for Hucast/Hucaseal the blast radius and the fact that the enemies receives both the swings and explosion without any risk taken from the wielder makes this Hard Hunt weapon especially worth it.

It compete with Dark Flow as the best Sword except that Rathalos is always safe because you can use the special at full HP

As for % for your first one it should be at least Dark with a few hit. but note that Lizards can block your RS explosions.

 

 

A Set can be also be envisaged if you're aiming for TA and if you have the spot in your Inventory

Rathalos Great Sword + 4th Anniversary Orb = Terror Sawd

 

Nightmare

 

Since last rebalance update Nightmare features now a wave similar to Dark Flow which inflict Hell to groups of enemies (which appears to be the same enhanced hell as Ill Gill Reaper in my testing or maybe a bit weaker)

It's regular sword swing is imbued with hell as well. also it has Infinite vertical range allowing you to snipe Recobox attached to the ceiling above your head when you enter a room in Seabed.

Definitely a great addition to hunter

 

Yamigarasu + Dark Matter = Nightmare (Special: Hell Wave)

 

Eternal Night / 3rd Anniversary Blade [galaxy/crimson]

 

 

 

Dagger 3 Targets + Charge

You still need a little hit to make it connect its second attack often though

% wise Dark and Native is OP as Twin Cyclone covers already Machine and Dark

 

Twin Cyclone

 

Uses the freeze-bomb special from Frozen Shooter for daggers with mechgun range and 3 targets. It redefined the gameplay for Hunter

Redefined! Humans can now effectively freeze problematic monsters while casts consumes less Freeze Traps

Also please note that machine is immune to paralysis and Twin Cyclone is Imo the most effective way to deal with them (Im thinking at you Sinows from EP2 and Baranz). But also deals with Dark and/or problematic enemies just as fine, Belras, Bringers , Delbiters, Meri-type. and Goran type more effectively than paralysis because paralysis can stuck Goran into their teleportation animation which does not happen with Twin Cyclone

% choice is obviously Machine, Dark Hit

Special: Freeze Mist

 

Judgment Blade

Its very good on Humar and Hunewearl. being able to Multi demon and kill on 3rd combo is very practical.

For % Choice you definitely want to get some hit to be able to demon on 1st or 2nd combo after that Dark may be the most necessary % and finally I guess its in tie between machine and native depending on your other gear knowing that normally you would rather carry last emperor than eternal night on humans and knowing LE can't use lizards with the special anymore might change your decision.

Special: Demon

 

Kitetsu

A new type of weapon introduced in the server which can hit 3 ennemies x 6 in a full combo

Its very reliable in Ruins and Ep4 for Paralysing Dorphons (Expecially for Dorphon Divine)

%  Choice goes to Native Dark Hit (as machine can't get paralysed)

I personally carry it on my Casts but mostly for EP 4 Dorphons as my inventory space can't afford it but yeah if yours can then its great for a lot of context.

 

Mitsunari

A super-katana which shine in EP2 and EP4 really useful to deal with Merilias Gee, Recobox and Lizard

it got sorta obsoleted by Nightmare despite still having 6x hit on a combo but its a lot better in EP4 than Nightmare because Lizards will block nightmare long range wave.

 

Soul Biter

An evolution of Zanba that both males and females can use. Before the release of Rathalos/Swing Dark Flow it was optimal with High % as a set to deal atrocious tons of damage at the expense of your life.

 

Dragon Sword

An upgrade of Tsumikiri J Sword Outclassed this. but you can still use to reduce your PB.

 

Planet Eater

A stunning very beautiful designed Twin Saber and an Hard Hunt (Olga)

Set bonus of Excalibur + Tellusis obsoleted this weapon. But still not bad as 3 targets berserk weapon if you got one from crate with decent stats.

 

Venus Bow

Its needle type weapon that all classes can equip. Venus Bow's special attack deals 777 set damage. this is 1st set damage weapon. It works greatly against high DFP foes. also has better range and angle compared to regular needle.

For now, It's only obtainable during 7th Anniversary Event.  

 

NEI'S CLAW (REAL)

Upgraded in 2024

Targets: 1→3
Range: 14.0 → 25.0
Hits: 1-1-1 → 2-2-4 (3rd attack takes time a bit)
Animation: Claw → Custom

Video:

Spoiler

 

Last Emperor

It used to be the best melee weapon DPS wise but it was too overpowered. Its claw used to strike alongside the special. Its special attack cost 20 tp from each strike for 3 targets . Dagger type means it can be widely used in any Human but especially lethal on Humar, Hunewearl, FOmar and Fomarl

It benefits from the proprieties of bypassing enemy manual evade. with its special. Its wave blast radius does gives you a little distance from enemies spawns and also its a weapon of choice for dealing with enemies with lots of HP such as Meri Flowers which can usually be dealt with with 1-2 full combo., High EVP like the Sinows or these Pesky Zus Its no longer optimal in Bosses unless you play Battle/Melee Force but still a solid option in any situation.

 

Depending on the class you play Machine Dark Hit is the way to go or you can even look for a set (which I think is necessary for Fomar/Fomarl.

 

Ill Gill Reaper

 

An unique Scythe Weapon introduced in this server. Its the only weapon of all PSo history to carry 3 Special attacks in each attack button.

it uses a modified storm special for regular attacks which doubles the damage of it

A True Blizzard special for heavy attacks

and an enhanced Hell special for special attacks

 

The enhanced hell special has higher rate than regular hell. maybe built-in V501? so the rate with V502/3 will be (93-EDK)*1.5*2.0

Hell Striker

Being used by hunter and ranger it does provides autolock Hell which comes in handy in missions featuring Episode 2 especially Seaside.

you should always carry one as hunter for EP2 with a v503 or Nightmare instead or both depending your choices

Hit only matters

 

UPDATE from @Howitzer @VEL(JP)

 The vertical range of yas7k is smaller than hell striker, and horizontally range is a bit smaller than hellstriker also. Also handgun animation does make slightly faster recovery than rifle. Ultimately the normal and hard attack reaches farther if you do need to disrupt an enemy by attack it.

 

Death Reaper

Its definitly a starter option and viable on Ranger and Force for EP4

Sub Optimal in Hunter but it has Partisan Animation which swings really fast.

% Preferred Native Dark Hit

Ill Gill Reaper definitely outclass it. the only thing that Ill Gill Reaper doesn't do compared to it is it's Megid penetration for Force

Tiger Fang & Dragon Claw

An evolution of Sange and Yasha Can be used in soloing for the unreduced gush

 

Taste of Affection

Powerful Mechguns that male make the most of use especially with Hucast Humar and Fomar

it also boosts SD Range which can come in handy sometimes

Special: Berserk

 

Celestial Fusion

 

A mechgun born from the combination of Passion Haze and Taste of Affection ( or Taste + Passion)

On Hunter its utility is to basically unreduced Demon the enemies making problematic mob gone in 1 to 2 full combos

again Hit especially Dark in priority but also Machine

the JZ Extended Range works wonder in Human class type. and Also its a Vital Piece of Equipment for Battle/Melee Force setting

Special: Demon

Jellen Zalure +100%

 

Passion Haze 

Its good but overshadowed by Christmas Spirit, which bypass enemies manual evade

 

Legacy/Past Optimal Gear

 

 

Dark Flow see above  

Twin Blaze (for Casts)

% don't matter

it creates a mine Gifoie which stops rush from several ennemies type. Precisely Chaos Bringer, Delbiters Dorphons, Zu's and can also stuns ill gill on spawn

The gifoie generated immediately ignites Traps if you drop one in a row

It is for me one of the most crucial gear to get in any Cast setting. it creates and facilitates lots of setup once you know the spawns of the area you visit

it drops also randomly in Black Paper deal 1

 

Holy Ray

You use it on Humar,Hunewearl and all Forces its paralyse effect is improved by 503 It's very effective against problematic monsters like Gunner, Belra's  Meri-Type,Dorphons

 

basically you only need Hit for it above 35 is a good number.

Master Raven see above   

Last Swan

Its still a staple in Hucaseal the fact that it shots 3 times (9 bullets) in a row might need a little practice to Trap-shoot

 

Suppressed Gun

Its still an option with Charge or Arrest if you're allergic to the 3 shots of MR and LS

Basically you do want Native Dark and Hit

 

Arrest Raygun with 50hit or more

Its still an option for Casts if you start or don't want to miss timing using either Master Raven or Last Swan. It has the benefit of Paralyse capability in long range but it does take a spot in your inventory

Hell Raygun with 50hit

if you can't afford/find a good Hell Striker it does the job at the difference it doesn't have autolock

S-Rank Gun (Zalure)

Probably one of the most invaluable gear for Soloing Endgame as Casts for Boss. or in party with multiple casts. it shots Zalure 21.

S-Rank J-Cutter (Zalure)

I didn't tested yet it might be interesting for Solo (if someone can complete this section be my guest)

S Rank J-Cutter (Arrest)

Its still a fantastic tool for casts to mass paralyse foes. Carry it at all cost

the only downside is being an S-Rank % can't be added however Thanks to the new addition of V503 it makes this weapon even more consistent that it already was.
 

S Rank J-Cutter (Hell)

It's still viable and offers 4 Targets at the same time for Hell per combo something Hell striker can't in terms of speed. Despite it hasn't autolock unlike Hell Striker. I suggest carrying it for specific EP2 quests if your inventory space can afford it

Obsolete because of Nightmare

 

Excalibur

Updated in 2024

Required: Tellusis
Range: 14.0 → 25.0
Hits: 1-1-1 → 2-1-3
Animation: Saber → Double Saber

This update made Excal top-meta of PSOBB again

 

Sealed J-Sword

It used to be the only Hell Sword in Vanllla PSO BB its been obsoleted by Death Reaper, and so forth by Ill Gill reaper's faster swing animation

 

Tsumikiri J-Sword

Upgraded in 2024

Targets: 10→5
Hits: 1-1-1 → 3-3-3 (Normal/Heavy) / 5-1-1 (Special)
Animation: Sword → Custom

Also skin has updated by @Magic and Samurai Armor buffs TJS's ATP by 30%, ATA+20 

Slicer of Fanatic

Humar and Hunewearl can use it to get 3 targets Demon. useful against some spawns or EP4 Girta's like DoB Fomar/Fomarl can make the most use of it but also FOnewm Fonewearl.  

Red Sword

Despite having 10 targets and unreduced seize it has been outclassed by Kitetsu which has better animation, DPS and speed

 

Daylight Scar

upgraded in 2024

Targets: 1→3
Range: 14.0 → 25.0

Easier to get than other end-game items, but still works greatly for new-mid players, even semi-end gamers.

 

OROTIAGITO

Upgraded in 2024

Required: Samurai Armor
Targets: 1→3
Range: 14.0 → 25.0
Hits: 1-1-1 → 2-2-2

In addition all attacks have faster battle speed (by 35%) and special attack has better range/angle (150.0/15.0)

Works pretty well to sweep up pack of mobs like Ultimate Double Cannon.

KUNAI

upgraded in 2024

Required: Ninja Suit
Hits: 1-1-1 → 2-2-4 (16hits on 1 enemy at max)
Animation: Card → Slicer

In addition ATP+50, ATA+20

 

S Beats Blade  

Obsolete in Hunter but might be still interesting in dealing with Lizards as Ranger for its Unreduced Hell ennemy part can get 50Hit easy due to quest

 

S Reds Blade

Now that most Humans class can S/D and the appearance of PB/Flow it became quite forgotten. It does take an inventory space but if you experiment Time Attack solo it may come in handy sometime.

 

Vjaya

Once the most powerful charge weapons DPS wise it has been obsoleted by Eternal Night

Each swing even in the void charges you 10k of Meseta

 

Tyrell's Parasol

Can be used as pseudo support for Hunewearl and Ramarl. Obsoleted in Force since the appearance of Skyfall

Stats don't really matter

 

Ranger:

 

Exclusive addition to the server:

Spoiler

Dark Meteor

 

It is combo unlocked here and the ATP has been rebalanced. it does also features in a recent update 7 targets per hit making it the only 7 targets gun in the game. Also can fire more lasers when your HP is low.

Upgraded in 2024

Required: Low HP (under 12% like Dark Flow)
Hits: 1-1-1 → 1-1-3 (Normal/Heavy) / 1-1-5 (Special) (3rd shot fires 3times(N/H) or 5times(SP) when you are low HP)

It's laser special attack has infinite vertical range, useful against Vol Opt 2 screens Gryphon, Dragons, Olga Flow Worm-like Bosses Despite Final Egg Blaster outshines it against those. also sweeping up pack of mobs.

 

Grave Digger/Nefarious Needle

(the picture is nefarious needle)

 

 

Nefarious Needle is made from a Grave Digger and an Orb of illusion.

Human Ranger's new best friend. It obsoleted Demon Needle. Its needle speed and extended range makes it a weapon of choice on situations where brute ATP isn't enough to deal with spawns quick. it can be an option on cast but my preference goes more for YAS9k Demon for them if you're fully geared or Charge or Regular damage for them as you won't take away much of enemies life with GD. at the exception of Tower where you can get Epsilons even when your fire is sucked by Epsis shield.

In Tower in any case Carry it ! that's my advice

 

 

Hit is necessary get as many as you can. after that dark and the % of choice in priority

 

Arrest Needle

 

 

Its a necessary gear for Rangers it is mostly used for crowd control unlike S rank one's it can have stats it is made by combining Spread Needle with Proof of Sonic Team.

Its speed, cone spread and number of targets is what is making it so good

It can lock enemies into freeze and paralysis with the synergy of Freeze Trap or Arctic Faust

you can even put Arctic Faust in the bottom of your inventory and Spread Needle just over it for fast Freeze and consecutive Arrest. Arrested Frozen Mob takes longer to fully recover from that.

 

Hit and V503 is optimal for a lot of situations usually you do want at least dark with it since the damage output is decent but not excessive. after that Native can come in handy for Episode 4

 

 

Hell Striker

note that Ramarl animation is the best for Handguns, outclassed only a little by Yasminkov 7000V with Hell in Ranger for pure ATA stats

 

Hell Needle

 

Its great, It's really great faster than Type Shot but at the cost of a shorter range

Well depending of your character choice. My opinion is that it should be the 2nd or 3rd item you may make out of Dark Matter  after UDC/Nightmare/Behemoth.

Spread Needle + Dark Matter = Hell Needle

 

Frostbite  

A power upgrade from the original Frozen Shooter it shares the same freeze bomb special and ATA. Its rarer to find because its a boss drop but one with good stats would still be better for finish off enemies with Demon vs a regular FS. seee Frozen Shooter below for more details

 

Machine/Dark Hit is mandatory if you want to have the full benefit of it

 

Gush Needle (Unobtainable unless event crate)

Unless you don't have Dark Meteor that combo don't worth it currently with the last item pool

It could work well if Berzerk Needle archetype get a new Needle with % ability.

 

Exterminator

Its situational/decent/depending of your party. It has shot Range 5 Targets berzerk the downside being its the attack animation.

but D Virus Launcher clearly outclass it

 

Boondock Saints

 

a really good starter ATP Mechgun with Handgun Range and hell as special.

Hit machine and Dark, again

 

Combustion Canon

 

It has very interesting proprieties like High ATP rifle range, hitting behind walls, lowering your HP and Overdrive..  

my opinion is to privilege stats over hit for this weapon except if you're going to exploit the special a lot again Dark is where it shines

 

get as much % in any area as you can

the usual % spread

 

M&A85 Fury

 

The best Falz killer for Racast/Racaseal (?), with high Dark its also a safe way to kill Olga 1 if you didn't succeed to kill it with FEB on spawn it can also shot enough times to pierce delsaber block animation. its overheat count carries over even if you quick change weapon.  

I only wear it with max dark and a bit of hit personnaly

 

(UPDATE)

LCK 38 outshine this weapon on Dark Falz 3 since its combo unlock on Ranger use because its burning special can damage Invincible Falz

 

Final Egg Blaser

 

made from combining an Egg Blaster and Dr. Robotnik's Plan B. it featured an Autlock and extended range in past update. Its special full combo produces 18 hit per combo (bullets + explosion) bullets make it the perfect boss killer except for Dark Falz. it can also be used in a variety of spawns if you know how to dodge and keep and HP Low It also comboes well with Combustion Cannon or D Virus Launcher to get your HP Low.

My opnion for this weapon is to get a Set

Final Egg Blaster + Blueprint: Astral Dragon = Astral Dragon (has alternative skin/effect)

 

Armageddon

 

It's great on Racast. autolock+charge you basically always want ot finish off high Hp enemies with that as Cast. it can also be used well against any mass enemies like with the autolock the shot will always reach a target. Its really on claws on ruins,yet you may prefer Charge Yasminkov9000 for Tower because of that same autolock stuck on closed Epsilon shields

 

Dark and Hit and any of your preference

 

LCK38 Combat

 

It recently got combo unlocked for Ranger here

also while not being optimal the 15hit could come up vs Zu because evne Lck 38 does not possess Manual evade byepass it its 15x times in a full combo which could come in handy on Casts

but do it if you can freely invest in their %

So my conlusion is for Casts (and even for Human when Falz is invincibile) its the best Shot you can use for Falz 3  

 

Arctic Faust

 

 

All Rangers can use it. Made from Cryo Warhead and an Iron Faust.Featuring a True Blizzard ice special, its invalauable in a lot of being surrounded situations with its blast radius as its suggested its very useful and effective against machines. it can also be used in other areas to combo with arrest needle to make the foes para and freezed at the same time.

 

Dark Machine and Hit without a doubt

 

D Virus Launcher

Deadly nothing else to say.

you can FAST KILL OLGA 2 with some buff debuff and high dark and hit before Olga has time to move its leg. but be cautious to not get early DP if you mess up

Special: Berserk

under 50% HP: 2bullets per 1 shot

under 12.5% HP: 3bullets per 1 shot

 

Legacy/Past Optimal Gear

 

Heaven Striker

Its still amazing for Racast and Ramarl (which can go arounds its quite low ATP and its animation)

the special is Berzerk and despite having only 1 target the range is one of rifle

 Dark Machine and either Machine or hit. but Dark Hit alone does suffice

 

 

Frozen Shooter

Crucial Piece of Ranger Weaponry don't think on getting on field without carrying it or Frostbite

It shares the same ATA and special as Frostbite but its weaker and much easier to find with Hit it has Rifle range and formerly unique special called Freeze Bomb useful in a plethora of situations. Im not an expert in PSo Math but if I remember correctly FS/SQ/Frostbite/Twin Cyclone basically just checks the ata and Bypass ESP Check (correct me if this statement is wrong).

 

Its Vital in Tower and against enemies with lots of HP. It has Synergy with Yasminkov 9000 Demon, Charge  and Arrest Needle or any high DPS Weaponry

 

Snow Queen

I'm a man convinced with the Opness of Snow Queen its Freeze Bomb pierce is just too good despite being a 1 hit weapon I always carry Frozen Shooter along Snow Queen for specific spawns and quests such as Gal Da Val Darkness and Beyond the Veil hills.

Over 40 Hit% Snow Queen seems the be the right way it works very well here.

 

Spread Needle

Still works decently as starter gear its animation due to being Needle type is very fast and must be used to crowd control any spawns of monsters. Its special is unreduced Seize its been replaced/enhanced by the appearance of Arrest Needle (NON-S-Rank)

 

S Rank Needle (Arrest)

Once one of the best S Rank Needle its been completely outclassed by the Non S Rank Arrest Needle which can have stats. It still works better on Human and Cast better than a decent hit % Spread Needle. But basically its a weapon of the past you shouldn't use it

 

S-Rank Needle (Demon)

Once the best possible Needle on Gamecube and Vanilla Blue Burst for Human its been buried and outclassed by Grave Digger/Nefarious Needle which has 170 Range compared to OG 65 don't make one its not worth it anymore

 

S-Rank Needle (Hell)

Here such needle got made into an item which can have Stats. Its definitly useful in Episode 2

The legacy one may be still useful but doesn't worth much the investment IMO

 

S-Rank Rifle Zalure

It is what Zalure gun is for casts aside its range is way longer refer to zalure gun for more infos

S-Rank Zalure Shot

I didn't tested it but it seems valauable in certain solo quest/cast party (opinion needed)

 

S-Rank ZalureLauncher

 

It's the best way to Zalure in solo boss for the most annoying Gryphon and Olga

It has INFINITE vertical RANGE! (Thanks Lipelis for the intel) you can setup Gryphon and Olga without a chance to miss or even touch Olga 1 before you can hit him.

 

Yasminkov 7000V (Hell)

 

Its still stats wise the best Hell rifle by 5 ata vs Hell Striker. It does auto lock in a small cone in front of the user its only drawback is that it has shorter range than Hell Striker

The special of Hell Striker and Yas 7k has the same range so use it over HS if you're Not Ramarl

Hit only matters

 Update

The vertical range of yas7k is smaller than hell striker, and horizontally range is a bit smaller than hellstriker also. Also handgun animation does make slightly faster recovery than rifle. Ultimately the normal and hard attack of HS reaches farther if you do need to disrupt an enemy by attack it.

 

Yasminkov 9000 (Demon)

Its as good as it was on the past its necessary on all ranger even casts.

Rifle range + demon with 9 bullets. the only drawback is the mechgun recovery time

 

Hit only matters and its a well worhty investment

 

Yasminkov 9000 (Charge/Berserk)

 

Despite its low base stats it can still be used very well with Racast and Racaseal in areas such as Tower
Where Armageddon auto-aim conflicts the targets you actually want to aim at

 

TYPE/SHOT (Hell)

Still plenty usefull for its long range hell. Its weakness is it's shot recovery time

Hit is only necessary

 

Guld Milla.

Its Grind have been enhanced here. Its still a valid piece of equip if you plan to solo Falz as Racast/Racaseal

Its still a possibility if you do not own FURY or LCK 38

Iron Faust

It is combo unlocked here, all ranger classs can use it like panzer paust and still a very useful against being surrounded by its formerly unique blast radius. Its special can be interesting for sparing traps and long range confuse however you rarely need this in my opinion. Its exclusive Upgrade Arctic Faust with True Unreduced Blizzard gives you more flexibility and recovery when surrounded by spawns.

 

Baranz Launcher

It used to be the Best Shot in game when maxxed and correctly scaled with SD. The new 7 targets on DM and D-Virus Launcher makes you wonder if its worth carrying/invest anymore

basicall its only downside is 4 shots but charge is definitily good and can be carried on maxxed Racast for a lot of damages.

 

Bringer Rifle

despite being obsoleted in ranger by Grave Digger, carry it at all cost on Force it gets 50Hit easy due to quest and photon crystals  and can be used in a variety of areas especially tower

Force:

a note about % usually Force support gear doesn't need to have % the only exception is machine because of Vol Opt 2 first form where you can stun lock him with Zonde Based Techs

Skyfall

Best support cane ever made its long range makes you able to even heals and SD even between small rooms sometimes. its only downside is it doesn't cover Anti which basically isn't a big issue since State/Maintenance is available here

 

S/D/Resta 300%+

 

Dark Bridge

 

Its tech boost have been rebalanced compared to the original. its the highest Tech support cane in Rafoie / Rabarta / Razonde / Grants it also features a Grants UNIQUE 3 TARGET SPECIAL ATTACK.it also slightly boost DFP

this is the only weapon that boosts 4 techs, and help a LOT for solo hunting with FO. (photon tokens, crate, etc etc...)

(UPDATE)
The last update of Dark Bridge creates by itself a new layer of gameplay for MST FOmar and MST FOmarl which is very versatile especially vs Falz 3 + regular EP4 creatures

Rafoie / Rabarta / Razonde / Grants +50%

 

Glide S

You can combo it off with Red Phantom Field to get a 300% Jellen and Zalure. Its 60% Grants could come in handy in EP4 if you play Nuke around Zu's and Dorphons

 

Glide X

An easy to get and Staple in Fonewearl its tech boost make it optimal for Falz and Olga 1 Nuking

Foie / Barta / Zonde +60%

 

Zu's Punishement

 

Equip it with any Force (but especially fonewearl) and watch Gol Dragon die in agony,

Its very Powerful its unique 3 Foie Tech at the same time make it very useful. note that if you're really close to the opponent he will get hit by all 3 techs at the same time.

 

Foie +60% Gifoie and Rafoie +60%

 

Claw of Elements

 

This makes Gifoie/Gizonde spam even more consistent by its tech boost and tech animation. Especially good at VOl Opt Screen trick or When farming D Virus Baranz

 

again machine is all you need

Gifoie +60%, Gibarta +90%, Gizonde +90%

 

Hellion Sword (Charge)(Battle/Melee Force)

My Secret Tech,  as Battle Force it does need investment in Hit but its devastating especially against Ruins and EP4 Lizard. The Sword range is something Battle Force don't possess its usually limited to 3 targets with either Excalibur or Last Emperor.

it also gives Megid Penetration (again against lizards, its useful) and Rafoie Boost the latter might be useful if you carry it on Fonewm

Ill Gill Reaper

The Best crowd control Weapon Force ever had and really fast Swing animation scroll above for more overall details on this weapon

 

Mortal Ruin

Very useful tool it casts lv 25 megid. 6 in full combo. making you able to bypass megid problematic recovery time. it does pierce on Fonewearl or with Ethereal Armor aswell.

It's only downside is that it doesn't strike when you use the special making you vulnerable to close lizards which usually outnumber you. And also the megid strikes in front of you you're vulnerable on sides.

 

Last Emperor

On Fomar/Fomarl you Must use it see above for more details

a set would be your best investment

 

Celestial Fusion

See above, Its vital in Force, also you combo it off with Bat Wings to get massive debuff range

SOUL DEVOURER

Upgraded in 2024

Required: Paragon Frame
Hits: 1-1-1 → 1-2-5 (Normal/Heavy, 3rd attack takes time a bit) / 1-1-3
Animation: Slicer → Custom

In addition ATP+100, hits Lizards in the face

One of the best FO's ranged weapon.

 

Twin pallash (Melee/Force)

I heard some experimented with this.I didn't personnaly but the fact its devil makes things a bit sad.

UPDATE

Definitly not worth it

 

 

Legacy/ Past Optimal Gear

 

Excalibur

see also above

 

Rambling May

 

Still a staple on Melee Fomarl. Each combo shot twice. the special is occasional

get at least maxxed dark and a little hit

 

UPDATE

Dethroned by Christmas Spirit in every aspect

 

Slicer of Fanatic

See above, must have on Force but needs even more good Hit %

 

S Rank Slicer (Demon)

 

Lower ATA due to S rank but 4 Targets

All force can equip the slicers in Destiny due to the 800 atp ceiling

it will land with difficulty on sinows but overall its solid if you don't want to invest on an SOF

Fomarl again will make the most use of it

 

UPDATE

Yeah 0 Hit doesn't make it connect on Sinows or high EVP mob.

 

 

S Rank Slicer (Hell)

 

4 targets.

It used to be the best Hell Weapon at Force disposal until Mortal Ruin released it may be still useful on EP2 but not optimal anymore,

 

Striker of Chaos

Outlcassed by Skyfall, its still a useful as starter gear until you find one

 

Tyrell Parasol

same as Striker of Chaos on Force can still be useful on Hunewearl/Ramarl

 

Madam Parasol

same as Striker of Chaos

 

Psycho Wand

Outclassed by DarkBridge except in its Rabarta boost which is 30%

still a very good equips.

 

Glide Divine

Its still a staple as nuke Fo or as starter gear. Note that the cane tech cast animation is faster on female than with Celestial Fusion

 

Mercurius Rod

Its still viable it casts 3x low level gifoie without the annoying recovery time. Helps a lot against charging ennemies see Twin Blaze for details on them.

 

Bringer Rifle

Vital in Force see above for more details

About Armors / Shields DFP/EVP and Units

Destiny PSO BB removes the old fallback feature that made DFP/EVP quite irrelevant in Vanilla where you would even aim for the lowest your can get in some character to abuse the fallback feature. Its now part of History

 

 

Because here ,Monsters surrounding you is situation you don't want unless you can trap or can/have enough DFP/EVP To tank it/evade/or being a force being able to JZ quick but nonetheless getting comboed by ennemies solo and surrounded is never optimal (the exception being Bulclaw when farming crates/photon tokens in event).

 

 

So in Short Here DFP/EVP is relevant and on some class/build one of your goal may be to max it and also you may "build" your characters differently by the vast amount of various endgame armors PSo BB Destiny features.

 

ARMORS/SHIELDS

Spoiler

Special thanks to @Magic for gif files for armor and more!

D Virus Armor:

Its by far the best DFP Armor I highly recommand it on DFP Builds and Forces over other armors its resists are also amazing and for the last its built in Centurion/Battle (80%) which can be handy on some class to substitute a battle unit

 

5th Anniversary Armor:

it has same DFP/EVP and resists as D-Virus Armor. but built in PB/Flow instead of Cent/Battle.

Only obtainable during 5th Anniversary event.

 

PARAGON FRAME:

heal power +800 / Shifta Deband level +5 (exceeds the limit)

FO only 200lv armor. now FO can use lv35 shifta/deband and this is enough to change the game. in addition heal power will be added by 800.

no need to explain more, the ultimate support armor in party.

 

Ethereal Armor:

Great armor with lot of versatility Force Only

 

the DFP doesn't seem too impressive despite great resists at first sight and you may ask why you would use it over D-Virus. I initially thought it was not worth it...in the long run I was wrong.

Well one argument would be the 100% speed modifier updated and fixed the glitch! 120% boost now

and also the Megid pierce built within it for Mortal Ruins

Here's the important fact.

The built in speed allows you to carry a Unit to max out selectively your base MST or DFP if the situation doesn't requires you using Dark Bridge on an Agressive Utility Battle Force Build. including changing Armors and Units with DVA depending on the situation

Also the high EDK combined with an Armor will give you mostly immunity against Cave and over decent one for Del Lily in Tower.

 

 

Primal Nexus:

Fonewm/Fonewearl Garment of Doom.

 

This armor made the impossible possible... gives the 10 different Attack Tech of the game at the same time Boosted by 30 %. and Its stats are more than decent. Spread fear and high AOE Tech and mop the floor with all the monsters in the room with all that DPS...Did I mentioned that it synergize even better with the latest buff of Dark Bridge?

 

Best synergy with Fonewm followed by Fonewearl

 

 

 

Genesis Armor

It used to be the best DFP with very good EVP and the possibility to get it maxxed until D-Virus got released its 190 requirement and more affordable from players in the market than a D Virus.

 

 

Behemoth Armor/Evil Aura:

(picture is behemoth armor)

Evil Aura is made using an Orb of Illusion over Behemoth Armor

built by using a Dark Matter on Spirit Garment.

It excels in a lot of area at the same time. good resists along it can be comboed with a molten ring for near Ceiling EDK resist for Tower. it features a good attack boost. Near Max EVP gear featuring an over decent DFP together. you can get most of use for it in ATP Hucast EVP Hucaseal / (Charge/Attack )Racast.

 

Reflex Gear:

Its quite rare on the market. It used to have even more EVP. Having high EVP in the Hucaseal class is where it shines, Its basically an "all goes to EVP"  Armor rather than a Balance like Behemoth Armor more info will be covered below in Hucaseal EVP Build

 

 

Shadow Cloak:

Built in Trap Seach for humans +20 ATA on armor it surpassed Dynasty Armor upon release

but the counter part is rather weak stats. my opnion is to equip it on class which can make the most of it Hucaseal (Ata Build) Ramar and Ramarl

 

UPDATE

Can be used in Time Attack in some glass canon strategy where you do Need to see traps or it ruins your run. Aka DF or DVL focused strategy

 

 

Dynasty Armor:

built +15 to all stats and also doesn't cost much on the market you may find it a good compromise between various armors but in my opinion your final armor should'nt be it

 

Business Jacket

A great engame starter gear with a lot of good resists and an HP Boost. Shoul be used in Force until you find better

 

Archfiend Armor

An over decent armor to use DFP Wise its weakness is it doesn't features any resists aside its 50 EDK which can be comboed by molten ring

 

Ring of Fire

The fire counter part to Archfiend Armor but it has cure freeze built in and better resists again you can combo with molten ring to make Epsilon and GIgue Strikes history

 

 

Xparts ver 3.10:

Its a great starter gear for cast if you begin endgame. Its ATP boost is still the strongest you can get in any armor. I saw it being used in Time Attack. got great synergy with Charge

 

Ninja Suit:

Great resists, and can be found quite easy. can be relevant but not final on Humar/Ramar 70 ATP Boost

 

 

Hallowed Garment

Halloween Event armor for lv 80 chars. possess 235 dfp which is really high for this level requirement

 

Spectral Suit

A good starter Armor for anyone with quite low stats compared to Hallowed Garment but its

no weapon lag could be useful in some niche scenario. However its resists doesn't live up to the other armors

Legacy/Past Optimal Armors

 

Stealth Suit

Spoiler

 

a vanilla BB Armor which used to be unique turning you in optic camouflage at the cost of low stats but nullyfing the short lag time of weapon switching

 

UPDATE

Completely obsolete since the add of Halloween's Spectral Suit which has the same unique features.

 

Dress Plate

High EDK and good for low lv chars, better than regular frame 

 

Mother Garb+

a good starter armor but doesn't live on most end stages due to its low stats. it reduces TP based usage by 50% for Force

All FO can equip this

 

Lt Mantle

quite rare to drop it for its drop rates however its a very decent armor for humans around lv100

 

Exclusive Shield addition to the server

2nd Anniversary Wings: 10 different colors variant. (unobtainable)

 

Exclusive 2nd Anniversary drops and won't drop ever anymore.

Beautiful colored wings after section's ID color. They featured a lot of synergy of the best shields released at that time

2x resta from Wings of Life

30 Ata from Blue Phantom Field

and inferior 200% Range Jellen from Red Phantom Field

 

Section ID Halo (Viridia~Whitill)

-100% Boost on Reverser / Moon, Jellen and Zalure

-ATA +25

 

Even if you are cast, its still usefull with the Moon range and ATA. Obviously top meta of shields.

Obtainable during Valentine event by trading 3 of Wings of Life and 50 flowers with NPC in [Quest] Love Research.

 

ASTRAL WINGS / ASTRAL HALO

This shield built in 'Improved' State/Maintenance and Trap/Search. Behemoth Armor + x3 Heavenly/Resists and this Shield makes 100/100/100/101/101 resists and it works greatly in Tower.

Class: All.

DFP: 180 / EVP: 180

Resists: 32/32/32/24/24

Improved State/Maintenance: This doesn't take 1 frame to cure

It's only available during Halloween Event. To obtain Astral Wing, find Paganini in Pioneer2 and He will trade Astral Wing for...

• Bat Wing ×3 (See below)
• Astral Essence ×1 (See below)
• Gratia
• Magic Stone "Iritista" ×2
• Magic Rock "Heart Key" (Obtainable from Paganini in Gallon's Shop, it costs 50PDs.)

 

Red Phantom Field:

It used to be the best combo for JZ by equipping Glide S before Bat wings got released

as you would get 300% Jz

its still decent on Casts and for Time Attack I would imagine

 

 

Blue Phantom Field:

One of the best shield in Pso History A Shield that gives  30 ata and 300% zalure range. its optimal in a lot of class/builds the only downside is its okay dfp/evp

 

Cataclysm Shield / Hellfire Shield

Very high Stats and free 100 Hp Boost its definitily something you want to consider if you try to make Hucaseal EVP Build or aim at a strong DFP Shield for RAcaseal.

 

Molten Ring:

The high resistance on it gives a lot of possible synergy with either archfiend armor (100 edk) Ring of Fire (100Efr) but one of the most interesting stays with behemoth armor. Where 91 Edk is minus 1 chance of getting megided by del Lilies. Its basically a Tower specific gear

 

Rainbow Shield:

not known by many it is currently the Max EVP Shield you can get above all else if you find a Maxxed EVP one (255) it does also features +15 to all stats and grants boost which would suits any force well if not for the recovery time of Grants but I would imagine a nuke Fomarl would pull good damages with it

UPDATE

Holy HELL has been unleashed  since the buff of  Dark Bridge and also Thanks to the New Max Stats Plan I asked out of ORGO to get the most out of Fomar/Fomarl to an extent never experienced before allowing you to selectively choose max DFP or max MIND depending of the situation. find that build in build section very exciting ones.

So Rainbow Shield adds fuel over insanity with a the innate buff of Grants on these character and the boost given by the shield

 

Bat Wings/ Demon Wings / Cursed Wings /GOLDEN BAT WINGS

(pictures are batwings normal/golden)

Good 60ATP boost and even better +100% Jellen and Zalure turning your Melee Force into a living Glide Divine without having to change weapons at every spawns and it changes everything as these little seconds might changes the outcome between living and dead. It greatly helps you focus on an agressive Support Fortress with FOmarl and Last Emperor.

 

Wings of Life / Valentine Wings

These adorable wings has the world exclusive among any version of PSo to revive party members at a longer distance with either moons and reverser. I do always carry it with my active Force to fast swap for it. The Resta boosts makes the combo of Hunewearl and Ramarl closer to a force with a Tyrell Parasol

 

Resta/Reverser/Moon 100%+

 

Deal with it

these cools shades is currently the best multi Gi-Support Tech shield 20% it also gives you 15 ata

Haunted Helm

an Halloween event shield with good stats and +10 in all stats really good for low level

Blue Winter hat

Its very close to a min red ring in terms of stats and the free +20 ata despite the resist is lower and the requirement is good for making new characters.

Elemental Shield

Fonewearl most optimal shield for Si Tech . it also level up your technique by 1 once equipped. you would naturally fast swap (F2) between this shield and three seals depending of the quest to get the maximum value from the tech boost

 

Red Ring

Its still very good with High variable DFP/EVP for specific builds the +20 boost to all stats can also facilitate some Max Plans. but better to go plan with 4 free slots.

 

 

Three Seals/Profound Darkness:

Profound Darkness can be made with a Three Seals and an Orb of Illusion

Mandatory in nuke Force especially with FOnewm it also features the "Resist" which can nullify at my knowledge any physical attack sometimes

+30% Ra techs

 

Gratia:

Outclassed by Astral Wings/Halo

Not relevant anymore in end game due to ennemies stats but the ata specific bonus for yas can still be come in handy if you're not 200 .

but still important shield for all 100resist setup, certainly in tower contents.

 

UPDATE (and what an update)

Actually its one piece of the most lethal and resilient build close to Sonic Team Armor from PSO VER 1 Dreamcast for Racast/Racaseal Only that this shield can produce but it NEEDS Lot of hard equipment to find and comes with lot of limitation like 80% Max Attack speed and unable to use any free slots

 

This has been discovered by @Orgodermirk

 

Ranger Wall

the 20 ata for low lvl requirement is nice and easy to get but you will get decimated by ennemies with its low stats

 

De Rol le Shield

Excellent Variable Defense unfortunately its reserved for humans so you can't build your DFP Hucast with it. Might be good on DFP Fomar with Max Stats if you do not have the appropriate Red Ring

 

 

God Shield Kouryu

Very High Resists but low stats I didn't remember seeing one since I'm here

UPDATE Its simply unobtainable right now. suzaku and byakko are only obtainable from easter event.

 

 

UNITS

Spoiler

Exclusive Units addition to the server:

 

Centurion/Battle

gives you 80% attack speed. D-Virus Armor is built in C/Battle

 

Immortal/Battle:

 

The best attack speed unit ever made gives you 120% attack these can help you breaking a surrounded situations using the simple attack by example with last emperor .

Ethereal Armor is built in I/Battle (FO only)

 

V503:

It does and resolved the impossible law of carrying always a smart link along a v502 on hunter and force. making you one more room for build customization because it combines the effect of smartlink and  v502 together with extra rates on arrest blizzard and chaos to 100% and hell to match v502 one's it also features +5 atp which can help you complete some Max Plans

carry it all cost even on Force as you get the smartlink ranged weapon penalty removed with it

 

V802:

It does boosts tech casting by 100% something exclusive to Destiny in all Pso History

It also makes you able to recover on spawns and attacks that were impossible to handle with previous cast speed (like being comboed restlessly while trying to pull resta after each attack, getting pinball'ed by ennemies in previous game versions in short) notice that the casting time is fast enough to heal while being trapped by Olga Flow 1 Dark Meteor Continuous Laser

 

State/Maintenance:

A Relic from V1 in Dreamcast which can be only be found in Destiny. constantly removes any status ailment you may get. a small difference between State and the cure units is that you'll still get the status for like half a second whereas cure units it does prevent them completely but its irrelevant because State does so much for Humans/Force and even Casts in dangerous Area like tower making this unit a must-have even if you sacrifice a battle unit (and using D-Virus or Ethereal Armors as a substitute) for it

 

PB Flow:

Fantastic for towers, dragon sword gameplay if your char can get a free spot after Imm/battle+State and V503 /mostly on casts since the v802 doesn't fit them. otherwise if your inventory space can afford it. you can still equip casually at  time when you don't have much fight.

 

 

UPDATE

it can also be used on Nuke Force or even Battle Mage if you have a built in battle unit speed modifier armor

 

Immortal/Power

Can be used in DFP HUcast for Boss Fights where DFP is not relevant (Dark Falz)

aside from that you can still use it to get a nice atp boost until you correctly max your char.

Im thinking of Ramarl which may needs it

 

 

Immortal/Body

A Unit Necessary to max out Hucast (DFP Build)

aside from that use I do not see much the point to carry one for particular reasons

 

Immortal/Legs

Make Hucaseal Evp Skyrockets without having to use much evade mats

again I don't see any point of just carrying it otherwise

 

Immortal/Arms

Very good on low level rangers to use most of your endgame gear.

 

Immortal/Mind

Necessary in Fomar Tank and the new New Aggressive utility Fomar/Fomarl Build to be able to carry Skyfall mostly and reach max MST on the new ones

 

Immortal/Luck

If you don't have the patience to hunt lck mats/ not maxxed yet and you can afford a free unit like racast/racaseal its still an option

 

Immortal/Ability

the most all round stat giving unit. Can be used on specific plans but do not forget it does takes a slot

UPDATE

Most appropriate plan for this is RACASEAL getting all stats in Yellow

 

Immortal/HP

Might come in handy again specific boss if your space can affort it (Olga, Vol Opt MH Dragons)

 

Legacy/ Past Optimal Units

 

V101/H Battle

still decent as a starter gear

 

Smartlink

Get one in DDWBP the only place where it drops if you're a new player

its very important in hunter and force until you can replace it with v503

 

V502

Same as above except its important in every class

 

ADEPT

well it may be used and ncessary in some plans buut that's all. also in the past i used to run 2 with ramarl for Spirit Needle something you could if you carry D Virus Armor 802 and v503 sacrificing State

IT does affect Last Emperor and Christmas Spirit but I see NO Reason to carry it for an optimal max plan

But it does in the other become really useful for Photon Tokens farming which happens usually 2x time a year. on a full Nuke FO

 

 

Cure Units

obsoleted completely by State/Maintenance try to get cure freeze/confuse/ until you can find State

but S/main takes 1 frame of freeze/confuse etc, so not to stop your attack, cure freeze is still usable in certain situation.

 

Heavenly/Resists

actually the best and probably the only highest resist unit forever for various balance reasons

this is actually important unit to build all 100 resist setup for certain contents.

 

Heavenly Technique

Can be useful if you don't carry Elemental Shield all the time

 

Proof of Sword Saint

No reason anymore with the new weapons and No SYNERGY with them to carry it

 

[Depassage 533]

Again these are guidelines for giving you ideas when making builds they are not absolute and I do not claim they are the best but upon my experimentation, they are for my playstyle.

Some are only theorized for currently Hunewearl Ramarl Racaseal because I did not experimented them.

 

All the builds presented were tested except for some specific SET and also at the exception of  Racaseal which is the last Class which I have to level which won't change much comparing to Racast, some possible niche weaponry and the theorized TA Builds (but I did saw some runs with gear mentioned)

Again you're absolutely welcome to contribute any section of the guide

 

Regarding Tower : you can opt to carry either Archfiend Armor or RIng of Fire or Behemoth Armor with Molten Ring to gain significant resist in either EDK or EFR or a lesser mix of both

 

Regarding Mag choice.

 

Gael Gill is preferred for his weird yet useful ability to trigger more often if synch is 101%+ (95%/60%/95%)

Recon (mag) works same as Gail Giel but it doesn't drain your HP. only obtainable by using 6th Anniversary cell on Kama. (it has animation like regular enemy has!)

Spoiler

If you're running any Human with DVL Setup for TA, I Highly suggest using Twin Sato (it spins when trigger) for not killing yourself in the process or having to heal every 20 steps or carrying NON optimal unit...HP Flow and you could choose to equip Shadow Cloak to not get 1hko by the traps.

This build is the Most Resilient build of the Hunter class allowing you to withstand attacks and Solo some quests if you're good or having the proper gear. Its highly Underappreciated/underplayed but i do PREFER it over Attack Hucast for good reasons, try it and forge your opinion. Knowing you do have to carry an Immortal/Body, you can hotswap it on the field and replace it with Immortal/Power to max ATP for boss where your DFP does not matter aka Falz

Hucaseal

 

 

 

Hucaseal Features the Highest ATA of the Hunters and the best EVP of the game

 

 

making 2 different specialized Hucaseal was for me the best choice- both using the same Mag as starter.

1st possibility will Maximize ATP ATA LCK and put some points into defense

2nd possibility will Maximize ATP ATA LCK EVP but will need you to constantly use Immortal/Legs

Ultimately you can mix both these into One Hucaseal but you won't be able to gain extra DFP and have to change your gear completely each time you decide to go to the other playstyle.

But there is some specific distinctive EVP Hucaseal  you may use

 

5/128/67/0

currently you should make it if playing optimally

0/133/67 with 0 def mags

 

 

ATA Hucaseal

Last Swan N/D/H or Christmas Spirit N/D/H or even Suppressed Gun (Charge) N/D/H or Suppressed Gun (Arrest) /H( Suppressed gun was not tested)

EVP Hucaseal is very fun to use and my main Hucaseal Build actually, you can sometime even cancel sinows jump attack and all often all low tier regular mobs

 

 

This could give you (assuming you find a maxxed rainbow shield) 1710 EVP total

OVER RESILIENCE BUILD (New)

 

 

 

Theses specific Builds which are only available optimally for Racast and Racaseal does provide an insane amount of Resistances and over the top DFP almost rivalizing the fabled Sonic Team Armor a supposed GM only Armor from Version 1 of PSo Dreamcast

 

But Over-might does come with a Price. You won't be able to swap any units or shields or equipping Immortal/Battle and will be without the assistance of V503.

 

And I need to mention that the combo pieces of the build aside from Gratia are VERY Hard tier to get (Heavenly/Resist is Anniversary Crate Only)

 

Be mindful that if you do use the Immortal/Ability max all stats build for Racaseal you will lack 40 in everything except ata if you plan to use this build with her DO use the standard max ATP DFP ATA LCK plan

part 3 about Class Builds for Hunter and Ranger is done still Forces to cover

[Depassage 533]

Part 3 about class guide by myself is completed, Orgodermirk suggested me other guides to possibly do however it's very complex and I probably need more time/help If I decide to make them

[VEL(JP) 1155]

awesome guide 

here is some my opinions, Eternal night set work pretty good with all HUnters since LE got nerfed. (it still deals high DPS on single enemy tho), Special of storm render doesn't hit to some enemies (it's depend on enemy's vertical hitbox) and that special doesn't hit to x3 enemies at once.

Ract/cl with charge yas9k is OP especially in tower. Armageddon sometimes targets enemy that you don't want to attack (guard form epsilon etc)

About Exterminator, it's depend on area/your team i'd say. it works well at some situation, but i agree DVL is much better than this weapon.

in addition, actual special of FEB is fire bullet + explosion, so it hits 18 times on targeted  1 enemy with 1 combo.

[Depassage 533]

Thanks for the input! Ill add these later to the guide

[Depassage 533]

I added your contribution to the the guide, thanks again ^^

[Piv 403]

Love the guide, I refer to it a lot 

I would say a Hit Hell TypeRI/RIFLE (or a hit hell laser which is much cheaper but less ata) is worth considering for some spawns where auto lock isn't wanted, it also has the longest range of the hell guns.

I've found it useful in certain spawns in episode 2 sniping gees from a big distance or aiming for certain enemies that unlock the room.

 

Its more of a legacy gear suggestion but Stealth Suit has an interesting property that it removes weapon equip lag so you can attack faster when changing weapons. Might not be optimal given the other options but is worth considering possibly.

Edited September 6, 2019 by piv
forgot about not adding hit to s ranks, originally posted hell laser

Thanks for your Feedback!

YASMINKOV 3000R has 66 ATA, comes with no specials and still have the 210 Range if you don't want Autolock on rifle which can be used as an HELL or Arrest Rifle aswell and still get the possibility of having % which unfortunately S Ranks, lacks.

 

Yes I've forgot about Stealth Suit,  I'll add your contribution later into the guide.

[Piv 403]

Ah I didn't realise that about Yas 3000R - thats great! 

[VEL(JP) 1155]

about Halloween event items and updated items.

ILL GILL REAPER

The hell special is better than regular hell, that accuracy of hell is better than other hell weps. not sure the certain rate though, but you can kill mid EDK (60-70) enemies pretty easily.

Heavy Attack (Unreduced Blizzard + Heavy attack) deals nice DPS for melee FOs 

L&K38 Combat

Combo Unlocked for RA and that DPS is close to ARMAGEDDON, doesn't require so many hit%s since you won't use special so much.

Christmas Spirit

now it's one of great ranged weapon for melee FOs.

Nightmare

Tricky and Technical Ranged hell wep for HU, worth to use dark matter for this now.

launches some hell waves (+regular hell swing as well), that movements of hell waves is similar to dark flow.

 

not going to say about dark bridge and ethereal armor, these items are strong obviously lol.

haven't tested subzero, but i think it will work like holy ray.

 

 

[Depassage 533]

Okay, I did added some I will complete the rest later, I do have interesting data for LCK38 Special on Falz (Thanks Orgo) I also need to find some spelling for Ill Gill Reaper and still add Piv's suggestions (im sorry)

[Depassage 533]

a small update to ill gill reaper and lck 38 (thanks orgo for the data) the rest is coming soon

Wow thats a nice list, it sure will help me as an returning player! Thank u for makeing it.

[Depassage 533]

Hello everyone,

I did started to make an end of 2020 Revision for the guide. The weapon part has been covered and spelling mistakes corrected. I just need to update Gear and Class Build (I do have spicy new content and opinions) =P

Dragon Sword

...

Also you can use Only 40 PB by only doing the special at the end of Attack 3 and switch weapon quick using the quick menu.

On 08/01/2020 at 12:11 AM, Piv said:

Reducing PB

Unlike the above PB reduction tip, this can be done anywhere. You can reduce your PB by switching weapons after the second swing of TJS / Dragon Sword. With a combo of normal attack -> special attack, then quickly switch weapons to cancel out the PB burn. This way you will only burn 37 PB instead of 44 PB.

-> Second swing & precise PB numbers ⬆️

I use this guide all the time.  Thank you for the work.

[wade1212 161]

This section I'm a little confused with wording.

 

Gratia

 

Not relevant anymore in end game due to ennemies stats but the ata specific bonus for yas can still be come in handy if you're not 200 .

 

UPDATE (and what an update)

 

Actually its one piece of the most lethal and resilient build close to Sonic Team Armor from PSO VER 1 Dreamcast for Racast/Racaseal Only that this shield can produce but it NEEDS Lot of hard equipment to find and comes with lot of limitation like 80% Max Attack speed and unable to use any free slots

This has been discovered by @Orgodermirk

[Depassage 533]

Hello Wade.
Where is the confusion? The build I'm speaking of is quite known for some times. but requires 3 H/Resists (only available as a random crate drop in Anniversary Event), 1 State Maintenance and 1 D Virus Armor along Gratia. I'll be more specific once I've rewritiing the build part. but yeahsentence construction might be confusing at the end but It definitly means what it means.

 

Anyway, stay tuned

Edited November 5, 2020 by Depassage

[Howitzer 496]

Nothing comes close to STA.

[wade1212 161]

I think a lot of new players to the server never heard of this build. This is very cool information. Hopefully we get a chance to farm the h resists. I started last year at the very end of the anniversary event.
