Beginner's friendly Guide

[Depassage 533]

Credits to Orgodermirk for maths, Mag Informations (coming soon), rereading,  general adjustments and corrections.

 

And myself for writing/compiling all this knowledge which was gathered from years of playing and from various people/sources

 

if someone wants a specific subject covered he can ask /submit his/her work

 

This guide assumes that you’re starting the game for the first time on this server. It will eventually note which equipment you may need for additional characters.

 

Feel free to use the database for more information on specific items.

 

Destiny Reader is also available

 

It's an amazing tool that can show you which items drop on the floor.

 

download it in the appropriate topic

 

Regardless of which character you pick you can extend the duration of auto disconnect in the

in-game option

and also speed the display of the menu text

 

I would say these characters are the easiest to start the game with in this particular order including their material plan needs. (It’s not absolute. feel free to start with any class you want. It’s just my personal opinion)

 

 

Humar <->Hunewearl It’s basically a tradeoff between Male vs Female Animation, better Techs/Healing for Hunewearl and TP regeneration.

 

Also, very important: HUmar can use Shifta/Deband lvl 15 here.

 

Ramar, Ramar can use Jellen Zalure here

 

Racast <-> Racaseal

 

Hucast <->Hucaseal Both have High HP and can be specialized depending on your playstyle. Either in ATP/DFP (Hucast) or ATA/EVP (Hucaseal)

 

Fonewearl <->Fonewm It does depend on your play style. FOnewm might get his shield (Three Seals) easier but lacks good healing and support early before Skyfall. On the other hand, Fonewearl is more all-around support in my opinion due to their possibility of early Glide X (but harder Elemental Shield Drop) the downside resides in their low HP.

 

Ramarl. Currently, their high material requirement for decent damage makes it hard to recommend them as a first character.

 

Fomar <->Fomarl Gear for melee (Excalibur) can be found faster for Fomar, but Fomarl can use support item quicker and earlier due to MST requirement.

 

Please also notes that if your aim is Battleforce/Melee Force you may need to start this kind of build after you've got a solid other class to run to game to obtain the items necessary for it.

 

Also Nuke Force outside of the Highest Tier items are fairly cheap to build investment/time wise.

 

VERY IMPORTANT. When you do you create your new character, use the command /dropstyle 2 to make the drops set to individual so any person on the room can access rare drops.

 

Each day you have to opportunity to get a daily crate on a specific quest which can be seen by typing the command "/daily" In game, the drop rates of the crates increases if you hunt with more people. Here's the rates:

 

Normal 1 player:           1/2000

Normal 2 players:         1/1200

Normal 3 players:         1/932

Normal 4 players:         1/800

 

Hard 1 player:               1/1600

Hard 2 players:             1/960

Hard 3 players:             1/720

Hard 4 players:             1/600

 

Very Hard 1 player:          1/800

Very Hard 2 players:        1/560

Very Hard 3 players:        1/400

Very Hard 4 players:        1/320

 

Ultimate 1 player:          1/800

Ultimate 2 players:        1/560

Ultimate 3 players:        1/400

Ultimate 4 players:        1/320

 

In Ultimate, Phantasmal Crates has their own topic for their possible rewards

 

Phantasmal Crates Findings

 

You can get ADDSLOTS for maxing your armors slots easily by doing Redria Normal Temple Episode 2 > Dolmolm Research

 

You may come across Photon Drops as rare items.

 

Gathering 99 of these can give you a Photon Sphere in Episode 2 > Gallon’s Shop like the original game. Once you complete the special tasks in east/west tower you can also add specials to s-ranks and use your Photon Drops and Spheres to increase attributes on most weapons, but also exclusively on this server, 6 Photon Drops can be exchanged for 1 Photon Token in the quest, the Phantastic Bazaar. Photon Tokens alllow you to boost your HIT on any weapon by 1% each to a maximum of 80% hit. where you can trade respectively 1, 5, 10 or 20 tokens at the time on a same weapon

 

Also, in the Bazaar, you can also add specials on rare weapons that don't have their own for 50 PDS. This is really useful for Yasminkov guns, Type weapons, and Hellion Sword.

 

Non Rare Charge Weapon such has Raygun Vulcans and Arms are available in the Bazaar for 1 PDs each

 

There is no definite hierarchy but depending on the class you play you may need to get access to these specific items in priority.

 

Hallowed Garment

 

Haunted Helm

 

Blue Winter Hat

 

Deal with It

 

These are event items for making new characters but many players keep them for newcomers. Just ask away or get them for very cheap

 

These are mostly useful and probably the best for any human character until level 160

Casts can benefit from black hound cuirass on level 123 which will give them a +300 DFP Boost

 

After making any character:

 

Optional: Decide which kind of endgame build you would go for in the materials consuming process.

 

 

Build your mag.

 

Try to find/hunt in chronological order for each class the following

 

Note that if its not your first character you can easily grind normal to v hard quite easily using hell weapons and the appropriate /Arms units/Mags which will be make you able to equip Hell Striker by example

Leveling Efficiently

 

These quests are assuming you're getting carried by a high-level party that helps you to level fast.

 

Towards the Future (Boss rush)

Maximum Attack S Episode 1 (if you can manage paralysis)

Maximum Attack S Episode 4

Dolmolm Research

CCA (no quest) after it got unlocked on all 3 areas (the player which does get all the 3 switch at the end is saved to the server for that difficulty so he won't have to unlock CCA fully again =P

 

RT (Boss rush)

 

Playing your class efficiently :

 

General guidelines :

 

Quite 2 opposite kind of thinking but complementary

 

First try to carry as less unnecessary weapon that you need for the specfic quest/episode you're doing this way you can browse your inventory by the quick menu faster that ending on weapons that purely slow you down in item selection at a given situation this small difference can result on either successfully manage the spawn, or simply dying because you couldn't switch to the appropriate weapon in time

 

Secondly carry as much weapons(including set) as you can in terms of diversity to efficiently handle all kind of situations

 

For those specific recommendations Optimizing/Sorting your weapon efficiently is mandatory

knowing that by example as Force that setting by example Skyfall/Tyrell Parasol on 1st spot and Celestial Fusion/Glide Divine as 2nd spot is vital to handle a lot of situation instead on losing time in all spawns.

 

The quick menu can be used efficiently by setting your most needed weapon either on the first few slots starting from the top and on the bottom of the list.

 

This way you will not use your precious time to drag all the way up to down to look for a weapon but instead starting from the bottom to get these quicker.

 

Also when using casts you may use Twin Blaze to set up the mini gifoie instant trap combo

 

When using casts having an approximation of what numbers of traps you need before refilling/reaching an healing ring is quite important. This means learning the spawns or knowing which spawns you don't need trap.

 

This problem for hunter have been simplified with the appearance of Twin Cyclone which has 3 targets Freeze bomb special

 

Hunter

 

Usually Hunters will catch the aggro of ennemies the more easier as they're close combat to the mobs.

 

these are not absolute but each specific Hunter has (for me) an Endgame favorised playstyle

 

Humar focuses on High DPS, Demon and Spirit while having still the minimum bagage to handle 2P games without force, as they have SD on this server. They will outshines Huney when played in groups in other aspects aside to the speed of spamming Ultimate Double Cannon/Resta.

 

Hunewearl

 

The female counterpart of Human Hunter, posess female animation which can come in handy for double saber such as Ultimate Double Cannon als Hunewearl is not considered to be bottom of tier unlike other servers, here its very balanced and versatile. Very good for solo play.

 

 

Hucast

 

The way Hucast is built can either be made into a DFP or ATP build even one featuring both at the sacrifice of units (Which I personally don't think any units sacrifice worth it except if you manage to get the ceiling of stats with 1 unit done)

 

Its resilient, it does tons of damage it has traps. playing Casts is mostly a race vs getting out of ressources if you do not have support.

 

 

 

Hucaseal

 

The way Hucaseal is built can either be made into an ATA/ATP or EVP based build. if you go full EVP Build be prepared to evade a lot of attacks which makes the build hyper fun to use

ATP/ATA is like having a hunter with ranger ata and lots of HP which is definitely good

 

Dark Flow Gameplay:

 

Dark Flow here is combo unlocked and its blade produces damage alongside its swing.

Using Stormrender you can maintain yourself as cast under the famous 12.5% of HP necessary to trigger the special and of course getting from 100% to HP to under 12.5% with Ultimate Double Cannon

 

Being under 12.5% means you should either have a knowledge of the upcoming spawns, be comfortable by the numbers of trap you have, or using mates at specific points,

 

Something sometime overlook is to be cautious if you're going for Dark Flow gameplay as Human as you normally can't see where traps are unless you're going for awkward strat like carrying trap vision, usually you would carry a trap unit or a shadow cloak if you're aiming to walk through long distance under 12.5% or you'll simply Dark Flow at specific points.

 

Basic gameplay for it as casts is to trigger traps get behind and ignite trap with the special.

Simply Special Special Special

or simply Normal Hard Special on basic enemies to juggle with the stun of the blade and their recovery time

 

The fact that the blades hits along the special changes a lot of things, makes it even more effective as a boss killer, by example you can now kill dragon types second phase without having them quit the land (at the exception of the Rathalos/Vaal Hazak where you usually need to be careful and having constant resta spam support). Finally this change gives you some sort of reward for having being close to the enemies

 

You can have some Synergy with DFP HUcast or EVP Hucaseal aswell

 

Ranger

 

Ranger got a great diversity of options here. From Frozen Shooter/Frostbite/Snow Queen to Arrest Needle to Arctic Faust, passing by Combustion Cannon, Yasminkov9000M,Final Egg Blaster and Dark Meteor Its way diverse. Ranger excels in crowd control and inflicting status ailments to monsters. Note that when exploring Episode 4 you should always carry a melee weapon, such as Last Emperor, Ancient Prophecy or Excalibur

 

Ramar

 

It features the highest natural ATA of the game and can use Grave Digger and Demon Yasminkov9M to its fulltest also when maxxed it can make nices uses of Christmas Spirit.

aswell as all the weaponry listed above. however he's quite fragile if you want to go pure ATA Build

 

Ramarl

 

The female version of Ramar pretty much everything applies

 

Racast

 

Even if its HP got reduced vs Vanilla its still a powerhouse, it does tons of damage, can abuse Charge Weapons and Sacrificial like no tomorrow. Imo you should always carry Demon Yasminkov9M with it it does well against problematic ennemies.

I wouldn't take Grave Digger outside of Tower based quest though (it works well on Walking Through Flames)* - Orgo disagrees with this. He says take Grave Digger everywhere.

 

Rcaseal

 

The Female Counterpart to Racast Its DFP got nefred I still don't own one to test myself but it can still be solid with Max DFP

 

Force

 

Force is technically the hardest class to master. It requires multi tasking having all time a global perspective at your team HP bar and SD icons . knowing each enemies elemental weaknesses (nuke force), also you need to be able to dodge and switch between cane and offensive weapons (demon) through the course of actions in the case. Keep in mind that you constantly need to jump around between healing your comrades, attacking/nuking, preventing eventual enemies rush and Reviving your allies it takes definitely some mental gym to pull everything together. from my personal perspective unless you don't have all gear you shouldn't come undergeared when playing Force. Depending which class and build you choose, as it may be pure nuking, pure battleforce or a combination of both, you should always carry demon weapons. They are overlooked or forgotten but 50Hit Bringer Rifle and Hit Slicer of Fanatic is a must for dealing with enemies you can't kill fast with spells.

 

When Nuking using Skyfall as a safety net even its not optimal in tech boost is great to constantly filling your team mate HP and still getting damage done. You can also catch the aggro of some monsters and side step around for dodging while the others team mates does the job

 

Fomar

 

He has the male animation something interesting when working with Excalibur Last Emperor, Hellion Sword. His downside is you can't max both DFP and MST so if you choose the DFP way you'll likely need to have a D Virus Armor to equip Imm/Mind for Skyfall or you can still Use Immortal Battle with a shield which will grant you SDx2 such as Wings of Life or 2ND Anniversary Wings but you won't get the DFP from Max Red Ring you can alternatively choose to go full MST and ATP (I didn't go that path but you'll likely be hit harder by ennemies)

 

Fomarl

 

has fastest Shot animation of the game, best Slicer animation but worst Saber one,

When using her for melee build you must rely on Last Emperor and Hellion Sword for close combat. Or Slicer of Fanatic, Soul Devourer, Diska of Braveman Rambling May mostly for Ranged.

 

One interesting use is to max its DFP ATA ATP and get just Enough MST for Skyfall, using Batwing and  D Virus will transform you in a living Tank

 

 

Fonewm

You'll likely apply the above and nuke with her or using the demons weapon mentionned before his simple Techs makes her very effective to solo numerous Boss

 

 

Techniques and tricks:

 

 

Dodging/Sidesteping

 

 

 

basically you only need to pull the stick in sync with the ennemy attack and and push it back to dodge it can be done even easier by getting the item chat menu

 

Special Normal Special

 

SNS trick consists of  doing a combo Special, Normal, Special. With some weapons, like slicers, this type of attack combination allows you to do the 2nd attack (Normal) before the first (Special) hits the enemy. When this happens, the first special attack will then take on some properties of the second attack. Notably, it will use the accuracy of a second normal rather than a first special. This makes it much more accurate and reliable.

 

Resta'ing only yourself

 

When you're in party as a human and with Dark Flow/Final Egg Blaster/D Virus Launcher users. you can actually resta only yourself by setting RESTA on the 1st spot of the quick change menu, then doing a simple or hard attack with the weapon you're currently using (or by doing an animation like dancing) then immediately use Resta from the quick menu

 

Stopping Dark Bringers, Delbiters Dorphons Zu's rush

 

simply cast Gifoie or use a Gifoie special weapon cast ability such

as Mercurius Rod or Twin Blaze (which creates 3x waves of Gifoie)

 

Stunlocking

 

Zu's Meri-type enemies can be continuously stun with Razonde or Rabarta

 

Cumulating Paralysis and Frozen Status on enemies

 

Easily doable as Ranger it will make both effects lasts longer

if you apply paralysis again before it wears off, it may doesn't sync to other players

 

 

Team Work

 

Instead of grouping your attacks on an enemy where another party member is already attacking, attack another one which will usually keep the others safer because you either catch the aggro or stunned the monster you chose to attack.

 

this will also prevent too much damage cancel (DMC)

 

Early attack

 

Sometimes group enemies such as Bartle/Vulmer/Arlan can attack early without bending their arm to the sky, watch out when you're approaching enemies with under 12.5% HP, this is interesting to know

 

Trap Shoot

 

the action of setting a trap and immediately normal attack with a gun/rifle type to inite the trap

mostly used with Freeze traps more rarely Confuse traps (depending on spawns) and sometimes detonation traps on Slimes or Deldepth

 

Twin Blaze's Instant trap

 

simply do a gizonde as special attack and release a trap to immediately ignite it you can this way follow up a trap after you stopped a Bringer rush or Delbiter

 

Stunlocking Vol Opt 1 Screens

 

you need to cast gizonde with v802 and weapon with High Machine %

or you can use a simple gun with simple attack letting a delay occur (when you hear the machine hit sound) then continue until the boss changes its phase. With V802, Razonde works at Vol Opt as well. less range, but you don't have to aim it, which can be useful

 

Using only 40 of PB as Dragon Sword/TJS Special

 

on 3rd hit after either normal or hard perform the special then change weapon quick.

You can use this to slowly put 4 waves total, put some damage. or even preventing ennemies rush

 

DO not use Divine Punishement Weapon if you're a Cast, because your max DPF is 0 and this will also create Damage Cancel (DMC)

 

Item combinations:

 

These can be found in the appropriate topic on Help and Support

 

 

Damage Multiplier

 

Hard damage is roughly normal damage x 1.89

Special is normal damage x 3.32

Vjaya is normal damage x 5.56

 

 

 

 

Accuracy Math

 

 

   var n1output = (atainput*5-enemyevp)/5;

   var n2output = ((((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/5)+atainput/5)+(atainput/10)-0.1;

   var n3output = (((((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/5)+atainput/5)*1.5)-2-((atainput-enemyevp)/10);

   var h1output =(((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/8)+((atainput-enemyevp)/(40/3))-0.1;

   var h2output=(((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/5)-(atainput/10)+(atainput/100)-0.1;

   var h3output =(((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/5)+(atainput*0.19)-1.15;

  

   var s1output=((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/(40/3)+((atainput-enemyevp)/8);

   var s2output=(((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/8)+((atainput-enemyevp)/(40/3))-(atainput/20)-0.1;

   var s3output=(((atainput*5)-enemyevp)/5)-(atainput*0.15)-1.15;  

 

 

end result is a % of hitting the target

 

Damage Multiplier Math

 

shiftainput = (1.3*(shiftalevel-1)+10)/100;

zalureinput = (1.3*(zalurelevel-1)+10)/100;

 

 

mindmg = Math.floor(((((baseatp*(shiftainput+1))+(minatp+grind*2)*(1+sphere)+armor+shield)-enemydfp)/5)*0.9);

maxdmg = Math.floor(((((baseatp*(shiftainput+1))+(maxatp-minatp)*(1+shiftainput)+(minatp+grind*2)*(1+sphere)+armor+shield)-enemydfp)/5)*0.9);

 

 

hardmindmg = Math.floor(mindmg*1.89);

hardmaxdmg = Math.floor(maxdmg*1.89);

 

 

specialmindmg = Math.floor(mindmg*3.32);

specialmaxdmg = Math.floor(maxdmg*3.32);

 

vjayamindmg = Math.floor(mindmg*5.56);

vjayamaxdmg = Math.floor(maxdmg*5.56);

 

Math.floor = rounding down the value Example 7.499999 would round to 7

floor makes it where even 7.99999999 rounds to 7

base atp = player atp without weapon.

shiftainput = shifta level

max atp = max atp of weapon

minatp = minatp of weapon

grind = grind

sphere = % on the weapon I think. number 0-100.

armor and shield are armor/shield boosts

enemydfp is enemy dfp

then it's just the math on that

order of operations is really important

 

The ATA calculation is actually a lot simpler as it involves 2 variables.

This has 9 different things to consider.

But I'm pretty confident in its accuracy.

With some weapons, it's maybe off by 1 dmg or so.

Just hard to tell with min/max stuff

 

 

A fairly simple formula to see how much % will affect your damage is this:

Normal Attack. 100% will add about 20% Weapon min atp + grind as damage.

Hard Attack will be about 33%.

Special Attack will be about 60%

 

take Soul Biter. 700-750 ATP 75 Grind.

 

This means what % affects is 850 ATP. 700 + (75x2)

so 100% on an attribute should add:

Normal: 170 dmg

Hard: 280 dmg

Special: 510 dmg

 

and that shouldn't matter what enemy/atp/shifta/zalure/etc.

Great work @Depassage
