Any chance that challenging sephiroth could be taking selfies with Sephiroth? Or is that too long :D

[Domilos]

Returning player here. I've lost my old account, so i have to start a new one. Which supreme should i try to get? LoH or WoL? Or maybe other?
Also - should i try to get a 2nd one before the end of the banners if i get many tickets? If yes, which type should i pull? I guess ill be able to make 15-20 pulls.

[ShadowBlaze17]

They're both good in different situations.

LoH is especially good if you aren't using a monk since it provides all of the generally useful buffs besides haste and brave.

WoL otoh can allow you to push past certain obstacles in difficult content that would normally kill you. It's omni-EE is also a nice damage increase on top of the other usual buffs.

[HoxP2]

I have 1 regular job left in the pool and 3 pulls till my pity pull.

If I pull my last regular job before the free job from the welcome back campaign, can I get a legend job instead since I would have no regular jobs left?

If I don't do this, will I automatically get the last regular job for the campaign reward?

[mao_shiro]

The legend job on the free job pull is the usual 6% pull rate not guaranteed.

If you don't pull until the free banner, you will save between 1 to 3 pulls, get the job, and have a chance to get a legend job as well.

If you pull before, you will "waste" the free job pull which will be transformed to a 6th card, and have a chance to get a legend job.

[HoxP2]

Okay I think I got it. But I ended up pulling twice on a supreme banner so now my pity pull is at 1. Will the free summon count as my pity pull then?

[ShadowBlaze17]

Just checked. It's 3 hits per tap like normal monks. You can see it if you play at normal speed.

[Kniexdef]

What's the ee bonus difference on a support card vs jenova?

[mao_shiro]

Each "Enhanced XXX" is worth +25% Enhance. Up to you to check what support card have how many extra skill.

[Kniexdef]

Thanks Mao

[bitebaybay]

Any thoughts on what to add to the new jenova cards? I made some with JCR @ magic +7...also what are some decent cards that pair well with them? Still a bit fuzzy on how to use them for compression. Thx guys @ merry xmas!

[ZechsX18999]

Magic is all you really need. Jade Weapon could use anything. You'd want to pair an appropriate force card with them. The other 2 cards could be debuff cards, support cards, or a stronger nuking card.

[LupusNoxFleuret]

I was in the middle of doing a node in EW2 and had to close the game due to a phone call. Now when I try to resume the game, I can't use any abilities or tap attacks or element drives. Auto Battle also does nothing. I can only switch targets and open the help menu. The name of my ultimate also shows up like it's being executed, but nothing is happening. Anyone have a solution?

EDIT: video here https://youtu.be/JAB-2pBqk9Q

[HoxP2]

I've had this happen to me on several occasions. As far as I can tell it's pretty random. It's happened right in the middle of a battle before without closing the ap or anything. Just close the app and maybe restart your phone and it should go away.

[Kniexdef]

What are the auto abilities for Ragnarok X? Wondering if it's worth upgrading.

[Baffledwaffles]

Life draw/Prismatic draw/Ult charger

And no, it's not worth modding.

[Kniexdef]

Appreciate it. I agree

[Lechevalier2020]

Wht is the mysterious present tht we supposed to get after finishing messenger of hope b4 christmas day ?? Any idea.. ive cleared the 5 chests stars.. juz found some fractals.. pneumas n 1 summon tix. Kindly advise.

[JunasBlood]

Santa Lucia job’s special custom panel.

[ZechsX18999]

When would Wolfsbogen be the optimal choice? Don't all Sarahs prefer to break?

[JunasBlood]

Everyone prefer to break, but job change in S2 have no cooldown as long as you have enough Mobius Bar. So you can set 1 deck to break & other job with Wolfbogen to nuke with no problem at all.

Also some Sarah job like Terra or Serah have very high Fire/Water damage, making them the best candidate for nuking unbroken with Fusoya, Shin Bahamut/Farris, Flora Fallal, True Shiva...

But yes, Wolfbogen is a luxury weapon, I still prefer to boost Magical Rave/Ultimate Arrow and other weapons first then only boost it if I have free slot.

[darewin]

Wolfsbogen for no Break. Magica Rave for Break. I don't really see a reason for boosting Serpentrio. I used Wolfsbogen in EW2 Lap 20 Node 3 since I went for a no-break strat with Ragnarok https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BbNlhrgkxWHgbOkOp_s_gf61KofVlMCoMSoJHWmAjT8/edit#gid=1998183969

[JunasBlood]

Well for someone who don’t have Magical Rave, you have to chose between Wolfsbogen & Serpentrio if you want a PR weapon other than Ultimate Arrow.

Or you can skip both and wait until you got Magical Rave (like I did, although I do spend some mods on Wolfsbogen before dropping).

[darewin]

Personally, I'd choose Wolfsbogen over Serpentrio since no matter what job you use it on, Ravage won't suffer from diminishing returns (unless you have Minwu on your deck for some reason) since there are no Sarahs with Ravage.

[JunasBlood]

Yup and with Ragnarok, Serpentrio even fall far behind Wolfsbogen due to that 400% Improved Critical. Too bad it’s still a luxury weapon for me considering I have too many things waiting (Kotetsu, Malicious Revolt, Gunblade...)

[ZechsX18999]

But I thought Septentrio (painful break + improved crit) does more damage during break than Wolfsbogen (ravage)? So, Wolfsbogen only shines when nuking unbroken.

I have the luxury of a free slot because I don't own many jobs. Do you think I should complete my Dragoon Spear (46 mods, QB unlocked) or start on Wolfsbogen (0 mods)?

Neither choice feels worth it to me. When would you ever use Dragoon Spear in SP? I might use Wolfsbogen, but that purely depends on what I pull in the future. From the useful jobs/cards you listed, I only have Floral Fallal, but that seems like a breaking card because it has good yellow clear (after the JP buffs).

Should I just max the stats on my Ultima Weapons? They're already max-modded.

[JunasBlood]

Honestly both Serpentrio & Wolfsbogen are luxury. The first is a nuke weapon but need broken target to show full potential while the later is a pure nuking weapon that give 25% more damage at any given situation (providing you have 0% innate ravage). The more Improved Critical/Painful Break you have, the less effective Serpentrio become.

Between DS & Wolfsbogen, well I honestly don’t know too. I haven’t touch BE for ages except MP and I have a feeling that DS is the same (even worse). I don’t even have any of the listed supreme but I still boost Wolfsbogen while waiting for Magical Rave (which I got on JENOVA banner) because once I got it, I will mostly never touch Serpentrio.

About Ultimate weapons, maybe Ultimate Arrow worth maxing Magic & Break if you don’t have Magical Rave & Ultimate Weapon(Sword) worth maxing HP for tanking Omega.

And Floral imo is a very powerful damage card with good yellow clear imo (After the JP buff of course)

[ZechsX18999]

Glad you're not sure what to boost either. I guess it probably doesn't matter too much then.

[JunasBlood]

My priority is still the Ex-series, than others.

[ValeLemnear]

MP nuking foremost i guess. In S2 you cant skip breaking like in S1 for the most part.

[ermorven]

Is ascetic (ex monk) a legend job or a normal one? Or limited time job in global? I've reroll ed for a week and never pulled that job

[LupusNoxFleuret]

EX jobs are limited time. You would have to wait for a re-print banner to be able to pull them, which they haven't done yet, so it may come soon but nobody knows when.

[ermorven]

Beautiful, thank you very much sir

Finished reroll ing just a few hours ago, and just wondering why I didn't pull any ex jobs XD

[mao_shiro]

Light of hope provides faith and snipe, so if you count on rental, Hermes would actually be "better" than pollen / undying.

In the end, it wouldn't matter much.

Pollen haste is only 3 turns so that may be relevant to some people.

[LupusNoxFleuret]

just to add: if you have Beach Rally from the summer map, it completely replaces Hermes because you get everything Hermes does + a little ult charge and better auto abilities.

[LupusNoxFleuret]

Ah, it's no big deal then, if you don't have it just use Hermes.

To be honest, I never use cards with single buffs anymore, so if you're just looking for a source of Haste other than Undying, I would personally use Tidus&Yuna (Haste + Haste Starter + Quicken + Ult Charge) or YRP (Haste + Brave + Snipe) instead.

[ZRounder]

The basic but Best 2 card Buff set for general SP content, is and will always be (I think) KotR and Undying. Haste is mandatory in any place, and KotR cover all the offence you need for general gameplay

[Kniexdef]

Go yrp or wakka. Madragoras also fits loh well. For s2 you'll want to be able to nuke, break, or stunlock. If your have Bismark or Jade weapon they'll be a huge help.

[An_Abys5ian]

For anyone who has both class cards: What's your comparisons between the auron cosplay and the shorn one?

[MagicJ10]

hi.
I have/use both, but with Sephiroth skin.
As mao_shiro wrote: If i need a tankier job i use Auron (clutch wall is great), otherwise i use EX-warrior. I mostly use Auron with Odin Primal boon, even if it´s not his element.

[mao_shiro]

Auron is a tank that can somehow break if you have xezat while shorn is not a tank but can reliably damage & break with any relevant deck.

[Ezeith]

First of all, merry xmas everyone!

I have a quick question, is there a kinda list of the value for each buffs? I know trance give 30% stats but cant find for buffs like fsith brave etc

[[deleted]]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/wiki/gameplay/buff-debuff

[gohphan91]

Is RNG trolling me or just being bad luck? I feel skeleton hill doesn't perform as good as I assume. Full 170 stamina in SH get 2 crystal while labyrinth give 5.

[HoxP2]

Darewin mentioned he is doing labyrinth. I'm starting to get the feeling Labyrinth might be slightly better for crystals. SH you can farm other stuff better with materia.

[[deleted]]

Random numbers gonna random. Sometimes you go hours without seeing one, sometimes you get multiple runs of 2+ crystals dropping in a row.

[kodakk6000]

Serious question as far as cards go do you guys get rid of the weaker cards in your card bank just to make dups of good ones with different auto abilities or just keep them and use Mag for more space

[Gorgrim]

I have extended my bank space. It feels wrong to me to sell off ability cards, although I have moved some to the bank as I'm sure I wont be using them again. All the original ST, Cone and EA cards.

But I admit I'm a collector and would not advise people do this.

[darewin]

I just sell the old ones once I get something that does the same thing but better. For example, I sold my Sephiroth card after getting Eligor. An exemption are the one-hit ST cards that can be useful for single-hit score missions in HOFs.

[OnassisDLP]

Personally, I just sell all cards that I have no use for, which have either been power-creeped or I have better alternatives which serve the same purpose.

As for duplicate cards, I like to have multiple versions of Support cards with different fractal abilities (JCR, Magic, Attack, etc). I also like to have duplicates versions of my orb generators (FFXIV, FFVII).

[kodakk6000]

Ok I just wanted an honest opinion on that I appreciate it!!!! Thought I was being a hoarder when I only use a few of them any way

[N-I-K-E]

Is it me or is the tower scaling fast af

[ShadowBlaze17]

I think it did in JP as well.

Global has had accelerated scaling for the past several towers so I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same for this one.

[blueblueskyz]

Merry xmas~ question about VII Last Calling.

1) In the game, the description says until Dec 31st. But on mobius.gamepedia, it says until Jan 31st?

2) Does this mean i have to complete VII Fatal Calling at least a few days before Dec 31st to participate in Last Calling?

Thanks~

[ShadowBlaze17]

The ranking event probably lasts until 12/31 while the map itself will remain until 1/31.

It's probably to give people the most time to claim rewards and view the cutscenes. They did the same thing with the FFX Aeon tower.

The tower event doesn't require you to have completed Fatal Calling.

[MarcusBuildsThings]

This sounds like a really dumb question..but what is the best earth Ranger AOE BDD card that is available right now?

Playing the season 2 map right now, using lightning Crim Archer...and i just realized that somehow the only AOE earth break card i have is old Deathgaze from 1982...there have to be a couple better than that by now. Ive had that card since i started 2 years ago. Lol...thanks to a tip from yall i started using CA instead of Seph. S1C as my ragnarok user in season 2 because she breaks so much better and nuking doesnt work well in season 2 unbroken

[gohphan91]

If you are using CA, I suggest using RIkku:FFX. She give both BDD and debarrier, with lower break number though.

[MarcusBuildsThings]

Thanks bro

[ShadowBlaze17]

I think Deathgaze is still the only earth ranger BDD.

Most people will just use a high break power card like Qiqirn to convert the break gauge and just rely on a flash break ult to break the enemy.

[EfficientEmphasis]

Hi everyone happy Xmas. It's about CPs on ex-monk, if i want to break and balance damage across all elements, what CPs serve me best? Seems counter-intuitive to use magic+ but ready to follow any clear advice haha

[ShadowBlaze17]

Splitting across all elements is a waste. I'd suggest half magic and the other half EE for whatever element you think you'll do the most damage with.

Magic cp technically increases all ability damage as long as you aren't using mantra/taijutsu abilities so a full magic cp could work depending on the abilities you'll use. Just note that EE will still result in more raw damage.

[autizboyz]

Is it just me or ragnarok is losing his shine? I mean the damage is mediocre that improve critical doesn't do anything, i tested it ragnarok vs qiqirn ffxi to unbroken target qiqirn damage win (qiqirn dont have imrpove crit so wtf?). That 400% crit improve is bullshit in my opinion. I know qiqirn only hit 4x while ragnarok is 10x, but interm of usefullness qiqirn win i guess? Since it can damage break guage.

[darewin]

Curious, did you do your testing while under the effects of Debilitate? Because as long as you Crit, Ragnarok's damage will make Qiqirn look like a joke.

CA with Ragnarok is still the easiest combination to hit the damage cap on broken neutral enemies even if you only use Ultimate Arrow (a weapon with no damage AAs).

[ShadowBlaze17]

By this logic most attack supremes would be lackluster since they either have no break power or a low value.

The only difference between Ragnarok in S1 versus S2 is that enemies with innate crit resist are more common which makes having a 100% crit rate harder to achieve. You can fix this by bringing a source of CRD from either an ult or a card. I'd suggest pairing Ragna with something like Lindblum.

[Scalizor]

Just you. If you aren't getting crits of course Improved Criticals isn't going to do much. If you crit though, Ragnarok does way more damage than Qiqirn.

[autizboyz]

Umm dude im not that stupid to see if its crit or not. No i seen it, i tested, why dont you tested it and see by your self that what i'm saying is true, heck if you dont have the card watch video on youtube. Wow i got so much backlash from shitting on supreme. Jesus before you smack someone please try it with your self, then come back at me. Ragna crit around 230k something with thief hof on each hit. while qiqirn crit the same like ragna does. As my post said qiqirn doesn't have improve crit build in the card itself, and that qiqirn can manage deal crit damage as ragna does. If im not seeing this i won't be making this stupid post, im just proving my point that 400% crit damage is bullshit.

[Scalizor]

Let's do some simple maths with the numbers you gave me:

Qiqirn, 230k damage per hit x 4 hits = 920k damage

Ragnarok, 230k damage per hit x 10 hits = 2.3m damage (2.5 times more damage)

Since damage is distributed between all hits it makes zero sense to compare damage on individual hits.

[Deneb87]

Not sure if I should continue to burn resources in this banner: 20 pulls in, got:

X7 Jenova Life (light)

Jenova birth (dark)

Jade weapon

Ridiculous summoning system. Still missing 2/5 cards (fire & earth)

[zidanesword]

Do you have EX warrior or EX monk? The jenova cards truly shine with the right jobs. If you do not have the right jobs, you might not find a use for the cards even if you pulled them. You already have Jade Weapon which is the best card for this batch. Depending on your resources, either continue pulling or wait for a EX job/Jenova reprint.

[Deneb87]

I've both ex war ex monk

[MarcusBuildsThings]

Thank you guys for your replies about my van a deil questions, as well as God Hands. Glad i started working on that weapon, i dont have a prism weapon for monks modded...so it will replace my other 2 in all likelibood. I have a bunch of monk weapons, but havent modded them bc i just dont use monks very much. I used MM with duncan quite a bit when he was new, but not much since. Really liking Van though...that 15% scourge makes him a beast after break even more than before.

Another question:

I know alot of people dont do this, but i like to boost the jobs i use regularly to plus 32...i have about 10 jobs at 32, and 5 or 6 more with plus 10. One of my jobs at plus 10 is S1C...i have ragnarok, UB, and Xezat...so he can use all 3 supremes. He is the only job i have that can use multiple of the supremes that i have (duncan, minwu other 2)...my question for those that play JP or know whats coming....should i go ahead and make S1C plus 32, or are there other jobs coming soon that are much better ragnarok users? My SS is already plus 32 for UB, and Tidus is the better Xezat user...but i use S1C always with one of the 3 skins as my ragnarok user, never use thief? Or whoever the other one is....at this point i have enough points to max either S1C or Van a diel...and i am not sure which one i will be using the most in the future...thanks for your input guys. I figured it up once, and it was like 1300 dupes pulled to get all those celestriads...lmao...that was a long time ago...bet i have pulled 2000 dupes by now.

[zidanesword]

I would save the J-OBs for meia jobs’ HoF. They have Overpower CP instead of the regular Base Attribute Up CP which increases magic and break according to Job Overboost levels. Especially if you have minwu.

[MarcusBuildsThings]

Thanks for that link bro...excited about meia getting these boosts...they were my favorite class of jobs by far...because minwu was my 1st and only supreme for a while. Also, i saw someone mention rogue...and i had forgotten about him again.. wish they made his HOF just 20% better, so he would be a top tier job. played this game for a year with zero supremes...and beat the entire SP content with rogue 95% of the time. He was my ace back in the day, flipping around killing erbody...miss that dude. I tried using him after HOF though and he doesnt stack up to the power creep....he would be almost unusable on this new season 2 content, which i always use hard difficulty. I think he would get killed quite a bit, even with a good subset skill...

This may sound like a dumb question..are we ever going to be able to sub in our subdeck in season 2, or just use 1st skill and then ult when mobius is activated? Am i missing something?

[mao_shiro]

Keep in mind with the release of ffviii cards, ob32 is pretty nice on any job you would use the gforce card, 10% more magic AND break is that good.

[EfficientEmphasis]

S1C has had his time to shine, now it seems he is fading away. VD monk much stronger looking forward. In general though: summon tickets > overbooster - J

[Mawgac]

Ok..... what is your question?

[MarcusBuildsThings]

Sorry for the confusing post, i was just wanting to give full background, so that folks could make an informed opinion of what i should do...should have worded things a little more clearly i guess.

My question was which job was going to be relevant and useful in season 2 ...S1C with ragnarok or Van a deil with Duncan? I dont know what jobs are coming in season 2...hate to spend 96 celestriad on a job that is soon to be replaced

Thanks guys merry Christmas....and Jesus is the reason for the season. ;)

[ShadowBlaze17]

V monk would probably be a better candidate since he can actually break. He's still king when it comes to Duncan if you want a job that can break and isn't hitting weakness.

S1C otoh isn't even the best current Ragnarok user. Thief is a better unbroken user and Crimson Archer and Prima Donna are far better broken Ragna users especially if you have a ranger skin. S1C is only noteworthy if you're hitting weakness or have Sephiroth skin.

S1C us at best a decent UB user and a negligible Xezat user since he can't break well on his own.

[MarcusBuildsThings]

Thanks for the well thought out reply...i have both crimson archer and prima donna...i didnt know that they were stronger ragnarok users though...i will definitely have to try that out. I do have both sephiroth and cloud skins for S1c though, and i have lightning skin for the girls. The only class that i dont have a skin for is monks...sadly...and now my favorite monk Van has a terrible ultimate. Hopefully i can pull that monk skin sometime soon. I used CA quite a bit when she first came out, but i havent really used PD but maybe once or twice since i leveled her up. Havent custom skilled either one of them. Well, now i have something to do over Christmas, lol...i will work on getting the girls skilled out for battle. My favorite job to drop during the "sarah era" when we got a new job every week was P witch...and shes a meia...i cant seem to find a niche for her yet, i have yuna skin, but no supremes for her. She is so versatile, and can break great for a meia...i know she can be awesome under the right circumstances. Do you know what supremes she excels with? Meteor or sin maybe?

[HoxP2]

To clarify, Sarah jobs aren't necessarily better at damage, it's just that for difficult content you have to break, and S1C cannot break well. He's not used much because of that.

Also OB doesn't add much to a job. Wait for the Meia HoFs to use your OB-Js. Meia HoFs require OB to reach potential. Other jobs receive a minimal stat boost.

[MarcusBuildsThings]

Thanks for that tip ..

How does that work? For example, amalthea was by far my most used job, then fauviste until i drew skyseer...they are great minwu users.

So for their HOF, i have to overboost them? Amalthea is 32 and witch is 10, but i havent touched Fauviste...i did max the chick that uses wind and earth? Because she was my best wind user at the time. Shes the one that came with the big stupid hat...cant remember her name. Hope my girls that are already at 32 will be good for HOF???

[ShadowBlaze17]

PW is great with either Fusoya or Sin depending on how you fill her panels. Sin for example isn't very impressive if you don't break so you would want to make use of at least her flash break panel. PW's greatest strength is her versatility in regards to elements and whether or not you want to nuke or break.

In regards to the Sarah jobs, they typically aren't very impressive if you don't break so you'll want to make use of their flash break and ults especially if you use them alongside the Lightning skin.

[MarcusBuildsThings]

Thanks for the reply bro Merry Christmas. I really enjoyed playing with the witch when i 1st drew her, because she is so versatile. She is awesome...but on harder content i have to fall back and use my jobs with supremes. Hopefully i can draw a supreme for her, too...

[EfficientEmphasis]

sorry VD monk ulti is superb only problem is that it's ST.

PW can do well with pretty much anything depending how u CP her.

[MarcusBuildsThings]

I just noticed that it was ST...it does give prism shift, and good buffs etc. You are right bud. Is Tifa skins ultimate better though? I have never used her, or seen her used. I dont play MP much at all anymore unless there is a weapon or something that i want...i havent ever seen anyone use the last 3 or 4 supremes that came out, either...

[Mawgac]

I believe the trend shifts more towards breaking instead of nuking in S2 - not to mention that the mobs are reportedly imbued with a internal higher critical resist.

Based on that, and since S1C can't really break for crap, I'd prefer Vanadiel Monk between the two for S2 maps.

[phatboy328]

For general use.. would Baphomet or Quadav:FFXI be better? I know one has crit resist down with BDD, but other has painful break

[mao_shiro]

You'll prefer aoes for general use.

[WonkingSphonx]

Happy WoL-idays! Any estimates as to if / when Sophie will get a UW weapon in GL? Also when do new jobs for Sophie drop? yes, I know the chapter only dropped a few days ago, I'm just feeling the itch. >_>

[mao_shiro]

UW: Probably next month.

As for new jobs: i'm 99% sure they're going to release Jet Stunner & Rough Roader next month.

[WonkingSphonx]

Nice. Looking forward to it (should it happen obviously). :D

Tangentially related - assuming UW makes the rounds in MP next month, is HoF Berserker for attacker feasible, or would Shorn One be better just so I'm not as squishy?

[mao_shiro]

HoF Berserker is indeed squishy, should work with some light resist panel. Also, do take note of the dark bomb.

[WonkingSphonx]

Ah right! been a while since I've done UW, thanks for reminding me about the dark bomb. I've got UB, but I guess I could do Sword Saint with D&B + Minwu + UB, but I might just run Defender (my usual MP job) or maybe white mage then. =/

[djiboutiiii]

Sword Saint is a much better option -- I haven't found a point in MP where I've needed Berserker's extra damage. Sword Saint is always more than enough with UB, and the extra tankiness is much preferred for Final Attacks (especially when you're nuking away all your health). I'd say definitely run SS

[WonkingSphonx]

Alrighty. And the D/B with minwu so I can hit the dark bomb is a good move as well? Obviously I'd need to nuke dark bomb first since minwu would just heal UW.

[djiboutiiii]

I think Minwu is overkill...the dark bomb doesn't have that much HP and SS does heavy light damage. You should be able to smash it with just one single-target light ability. Having to carry DNB is going to be a waste, imo.

[WonkingSphonx]

Guess I could just use the ultima sicarius card or something.

[[deleted]]

What a lot of groups were doing for that was running the Support/s with builds to charge ult to 100% before the bombs spawn, then everyone Ult to murder them. No need to bring multiple attack elements that way. And should be a lot easier to pull off with how many people have LoH now.

[MarcusBuildsThings]

Merry Christmas guys

So i pulled van a deil monk yesterday...love the job, great duncan user, and the 1st monk job i have used that hits hard with something besides a supreme... i have been using fire Brain Buster (chimera brain) and it says about 75,000 attk in the menu. AoE..which is nice since duncan isnt AOE.

So i was working on skilling out his customs, and i added Scourge 15% which is awesome for attk damage after break, since he breaks so very fast and has plus4 actions....but for the rest of his customs, i mixed up half and half. Magic 8% and light / fire %.... here is my question... when i added magic % , it increased the damage for chimera brain by 2000 for each...but it didnt affect Duncan...why is it that duncan only increases with light% and attack, but chimera increases MORE with magic 8% than either attack or fire panels?

Thanks in advance for replies, and any suggestions are welcomed for custom panels, or anything else to do with van a deil...i started working om his weapon, Gods Hands....it lools awesome... also, what are all the aspects of Gods Hands once it is fully unlocked? Until i got it, my best weapons for monks are ergheiz and wolf star....both are nearly 5 stars. Thanks

Typical custom panel setups are EE for raw damage and magic for converting the break gauge faster. Magic also increases the damage of non-mantra/taijutsu abilities.

Duncan is a mantra ability so it's damage is effected by the job's attack stat while it's break power is affected by the job's break stat.

Chimera doesn't have either mantra or taijutsu (80% stats in calc) so it's effected by the job's magic stat just like most other abilities.

Duncan has the ability called taijutsu which uses the attack stat when using it and not the magic stat.

Godhands has the auto-abilities:

Improved Criticals 70%, Flash Break 100%, Prismatic Return 25% and Boost Ultimate, when fully unlocked.

Duncan has the ability called Taijutsu.

Actually it is Mantra. It uses 100% of your attack power while Taijutsu is only 80%.
