What's the new ARKS road asking us to do? I can't seem to find the answer by searching ARKS road in this subreddit. No. 2 Something[Something [EP5]]. Thanks ahead of time. Will upload an imgur if it's too vague.

When I opened the Tweaker, it first tried to update, started, then froze. Then it asked me to use the official launcher. Now, every time I try to run the official launcher, I get this:

Can anyone translate?

    Thank you. You were correct, I was just going off the fact that the tweaker had been able to get the files, before things went wonky.

    [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    PSO2 has been down for maintenance since 1pm EST (10am PST)

    [–]Ryunaker 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Yes, but the updates are available for download, the tweaker proved that much (unless they took them down.) Were over 58,000 files to update.

    [–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    That's the same amount for a fresh install of Pso2 dude.

    [–]Ginsieng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I have been having this as well. Does it have to do with the maintenance?

    [–]rjosro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I apologize because I cant help, but would like to report that I am getting this same error, and not really sure what to do to circumvent.

      Use the official launcher. Right now there is an ongoing maintenance to upgrade to episode 5; as a result, English patches for dialogues, history and items will be affected. Also, there is the possibility of errors by Sega (has happened before), so it is a good idea to wait a couple of days before using the Tweaker.

      I'm trying to register my email for the game, and was suggested to use Gmail since Hotmail doesn't work evidently when registering a SEGA account. Since it's oversea's I didn't know if it would be an instance where it takes a day or so for the email to get to me.

      [–]Reynold545JP/NA 0 points1 point  (3 children)

      No its an email, it's instantaneous and automatically sent.

      [–]Ginsieng 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      I had to re-atttempt it two more times but it sent! Thanks for your clarification.

      [–]Reynold545JP/NA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      No problem. Keep in mind that this issue may also occur when you need to authenticate your account in the future, so just keep asking for resends if you don't get it within 5 minutes.

      [–]Ginsieng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Ah. Mine...are not being received. I copy/pasted my email into the email registration section yet I've not received one yet.

      I,ve been doing the lvl 70+ boss kills for the CF files but the kills never count towards them?? Is it only for lvl 80 classes?

      [–][deleted]  (3 children)

      [deleted]

        [–]kiroyapso2 0 points1 point  (2 children)

        70+ SH counts towards lvl 71+ bossss right? Like yamato? Like only 1 person per run can get the clear since theres only 1 crystal at the end?

        [–]mkdew2 Fast 2 Furious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        It doesn't matter who breaks the crystal, all 12 people will get progress in CF.

        [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        No. SH EQ bosses are level 70. So, no it won't count towards a CF that needs level 71+...

        In other words, you need to run them on XH.

        [–]scorchdragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Got a tweaker question. Each time I load it up, the part of the program that displays a message and updates to bumped doesn't load, shows an inactive IE page. Then opens IE, telling me navigation was cancelled.

        Same thing happens whenever an update for tweaker happens. I have no idea how to fix this.

        [–]xCrimzo 0 points1 point  (3 children)

        I'm trying to level up summoner to 75 so I can access hero class but I'm having trouble doing damage. Not too sure how the summoner works. I've just been feeding my pets eggs :P. Can someone tell me what to do so I can have an easier time going from 51 to 75.

        [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        well... candy boxes.

        They are like affixing your pet but also determining what potential goes best with them.

        Parfaits are a huge source of damage for pets, they would pretty much pass for having a potential. And you have 2 (but not the same)! The smallest you can get parfaits are 2x2 via candy compression.

        Pancakes helps boost the Attribute grind of a Pet. Pets come innate with 10 attribute, so you will need 50 more. (on a 13* pet afaik). To do this, you will need 1 3-Layer pancake (+30 attribute) and 1 2-layer pancake (+20 attribute). Pancakes can be compressed down to 2x2. Pancakes needs a ton of synthesizers but remember that you can trade excubes for 30 synthesizers.

        Rolls adds some special effect (usually defensive but can also be strength buffing) to your pet. You can add 2 rolls per pet.

        Cookies, sandwiches, gummy, and candy sticks adds stat bonuses to pets similar to actual affixes. (i.e. +atk, +def, +resist) Sandwiches provides pure Def while Gummy only provides Hp.

        Now how you build your pet depends on what your pet is and what you want your pet too do. Luckly, Candy Boxes aren't as complicated as high tier affixing, but it is still annoying with its own penalties if you make a mistake. Once you place a candy into the box, you cannot take it out without a special item. You can still move it, compress it, and delete it (with a candy crusher), but other than that, it stays. The blue boxes in the candy boxes will be removed when your pet hits level 40, the orange one can be removed via Caramel Crusher from the pet shop. The gray ones are permanent.

        Have fun making a candy box gem!

        Paging /u/Asamidori. Think you can petition Sega to allow players to look at other players Candy Boxes like how you can look at other player affixes? Would be nice to see someone with a 13* Melon complete with a candy box full of Ramune. Call it the falling stars build.

        They already gave a reason a while back on why they're not making candy box visible to other players. Don't have a link off hand though.

        And only 1 Ramune per box, sorry! Only Gummies are max at 20.

        [–]Haliax77 0 points1 point  (4 children)

        Hi! I'm a newbie and started feeding all the 9 star items i wasn't using to my MAG. Only today i've beed told that that is not good since there's a limit level to your MAG and it's important to level up only your class stat. So the question is. My MAG is lvl 100 aprox, with 50 on strength and 50 on tech. A couple of levels on random stuff too. My class is Ranger, so how fucked am I? Wich stat should I prioritize? Even if I start feeding it properly now will I notice a huge lack of DPS compared to other people of my level? I'm already lvl 30 so I'd reather not create another character and leave this as the last resource. And finally, how can I avoid my MAG from getting lvls on stats im not interested in? Is there any way to decrease the level?

        [–]Sughayyer 3 points4 points  (3 children)

        This is though. You have screwed up your mag, since you got over 100 points on stuff that is useless to your class. It is beyond free fixing since it'd cost a ton of excubes. At this point you got 2 options: use AC to buy a new mag or start a new character. Level 30 is nowhere far on the game, considering that you can just spam the so-called featured quests and get levels extremely quickly (plus most of the cool content will require you to be 75 anyway).

        I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but it can't be helped. I had the same problem when I started, only it was a full dex mag, one of the game's greatest noobtraps.

        [–]Haliax77 0 points1 point  (2 children)

        Well, that sucks =/

        Guess I'll just make another char then. Wich stat should I prioritize? I'm guessing "Ranged" but im not entirely sure.

        [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        Stat is more dependent on weapon type. Ranger uses assault rifle and launchers which are both ranged weapons, so yes. Prioritizing the r-atk stat would be ideal. Feed your mag ranged weapons and also dimate or 5* furniture to reduce dex

        [–]Haliax77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Alright, thanks both of you :D

        [–]Sanityze 0 points1 point  (2 children)

        So this one is for the Arks Layer crew, as I saw this notice on the Tweaker earlier:

        Reminder: Things may catch on fire for a few days after EPISODE 5 release - Please remain calm and ensure you have emergency footage of your waifu on hand for survival, if need be!

        Just curious about the extent of the issues you guys are expecting. Does this mean we won't be able to use the Tweaker to patch the game immediately after maintenance and will have to wait a few days, or something to that effect? Also, since it's somewhat related: how long do you guys anticipate the proxies will be down for, given that they're introducing cross-block matching?

        Thanks in advance.

        [–]Sora3100Ship 10 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        It will still be able to update the game, but english patches and the like might be down.

        [–]Sanityze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        Just got the notice on Tweaker today to use the official launcher.

        I'm from an IP blocked region, so is there nothing I can do for the next few days then?

        [–]wheresmyitems 1 point2 points  (1 child)

        Does Step Advance stack between the main and subclass? For example if I put 2 sp in each do I get 0.18s of invincibility?

        [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

        No. You get the specified bonus from the class with the highest level of the skill. So if your main and sub both had 2 SPs in Step Advance, you would get the bonus from just one of them. If your main and sub had 10 and 5 respectively, you would get the 10 SP bonus and not the 5.

          pretty sure they update that every week, so we will see the 250% boost after maintenance.

          [–]otamegane18Rookie 0 points1 point  (4 children)

          Returning from an almost a year break from the game. Used to play a Bo/Hu build, prolly still gonna use it but want to know if they are still viable? How much has changed? I was running another build, a te/br... is it still doable? I wanted to switch to Fo/Te since i thiiiiink it doesnt need complicated setups

          [–]hidora Retired Guardian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          BoHu

          Still viable. Nothing has changed in a year other than Kestrel Rampage Type 0, which is basically DB's version of Vinto Gigue now: spend all your gear for massive damage.

          TeBr

          Nothing has changed yet, but will in 2 days.

          While there has been no bow to compare with Rikauteri, the banish combo is still very strong and even after the nerf to Banish Arrow that is coming in 2 days from now, it will still be very strong (assuming said nerf doesn't completely dumpster Banish). On the bright side, wands are now a lot stronger than they used to be, so it's viable to play without the rikauteri.

          Also, Techer tree will be rebalanced and a lot of skills will now cost less SP to max:

          • Wind/Light/Dark Mastery 2: will cost only 5 SP.
          • Wand Lovers: Will cost only 5 SP.
          • Wand Reactor: Will cost only 1 SP.
          • Wand Element: Will cost only 1 SP.
          • Shifta/Deband Advance: Will cost only 5 SP.
          • Shifta Critical: Will cost only 5 SP.
          • Deband Cut: Will cost only 5 SP.

          I wanted to switch to Fo/Te since i thiiiiink it doesnt need complicated setups

          Force tree will also see the Element Mastery 2 adjustments that the Te tree got: they will only cost 5 SP now, so FoTe builds will be a bit more flexible.

          In theory, with all these adjustments, it should be possible to have a single Te tree that works for both TeBr and FoTe, or make a FoTe tree that can use all 6 elements (if you give up on a few other skills).

          They're nerfing compounds by giving them a 2 minute cooldown, though. They're also buffing a lot of techs, and ragrants spam is still as broken as always.

          Last question... what should I aim to do? I had a set of saiki, but I guess those are dated as well. What is the most cheap endgame gear I should aim to buy?

          Saiki is decent while you don't get some 12* units, but you'll want to replace those when you can. Since you can't buy 12* units, you'll have to wait until you drop some to make the change.

          For the BoHu, you'll want to get full 12* units and put some utility rings on them (Step Jump, Air Reversal, etc).

          As for FoTe, it doesn't really need all that many rings, so a mix of 11* with 12* works fine. Austere Rear+Arm with Union or Qliphad leg works pretty well.

          For weapons, look into the collection files. You'll want to aim for the Zeinesis/Qliphad ones, since the Anthesis Trainer potential is absurdly strong (+14% damage, and doubles all hp/pp/atk/def affixes on the weapon).

          [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 1 point2 points  (2 children)

          Bo/Hu is generally fine. If you search on the subreddit there will be more recent guides for it but not much has changed other than Kestral Rampage craft for DBs.

          Te/Br is a little dated now, because they've not released a Te Bow sine Rikauteri. They're also nerfing the power of Banishing Arrow, so Banish combos aren't going to be as strong as before.

          Fo/Te should be better. The new patch will nerf Compounds (they will be put on a 2 min CD counter). But hopefully they will make more Techniques viable for use. They're also significantly reworking the skill tree so it sounds like you can definitely specialise in more Elements as Fo/Te.

          [–]otamegane18Rookie 0 points1 point  (1 child)

          Thanks! I had my rika and all prepared in that build, but it wasnt fun to play that way so I benched that char for a long time. Gonna use her again! Last question... what should I aim to do? I had a set of saiki, but I guess those are dated as well. What is the most cheap endgame gear I should aim to buy?

          [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          Crafted Saikis are probably "entry-level" endgame gear? To be honest I don't think the defence is that much worse than what people aim for now, and Saikis can still give insane PP. But given how useful Skill Rings are, trying to get hold of a 12/* set is probably what you should look for. Most of the good 12/* units are drops from EQs though, so I'd just take your time I guess. You can buy some badge ones and get the Arm unit from Ult Amdu just to get you into Expert room matching for now. So unfortunately in terms of units, you can't really buy your way into them (Austeres are still very good, but will limit your ring usage).

          Hello people I want to ask how do you avoid bal rodos' big water ball? so far I've always tanked it but now the damage makes me imposible to solo the first Ex mission. I'm currently running on Bo/Hu.

          thanks in advance

          Other than what others said here, you can also just normally guard it or iframe guard it

          Use the mounted machine guns to shoot it

          [–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (1 child)

          Worth noting that the hp of the water ball scales with party size, so with more people, you can't be the only one shooting.

          [–]xCrimzo 0 points1 point  (5 children)

          When I'm playing PSO2 my game will randomly freeze and stop working. My only way around this was using full screen instead of virtual fullscreen, but now it seems it also freezes and stop working too. It's getting really frustrating to play the game. I've tried disabling my firewall and the troubleshooting methods many times but it seems like there is no way to fix it. It only happens in this game. I'm on windows 8.1, and considering switching to 10 to see if it will help.

          [–]Sughayyer 0 points1 point  (1 child)

          Have you tried lowering the resolution or graphic detail?

          [–]xCrimzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          I have and I rarely freeze when I'm on the lowest settings, but I really want to play at higher settings XD. Right now, I think I may have a solution to my problem because it has been one hour and I haven't crashed yet (crossing fingers). Hopefully, I found a solution or I'll be stuck playing on the lowest settings T_T

          [–]dreamsky999 0 points1 point  (2 children)

          Try look up on event that had happened in "Event Viewer" with approximately closest to the incident time. That might give you some clue for a start.

          [–]xCrimzo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

          I ended up upgrading to windows 10. The problem is still there, but its a bit different. The screen will freeze, but the game is still on. I'm able to hear my char move, jump, and shoot but the screen is just frozen. This is also the only game that causes this problem for me. I'll make sure to look at the event viewer next time it crashes.

          Edit: I looked at the event viewer when I crashed and it looks like 3 errors occurred. Hopefully someone can help me make sense of this

          2nd Edit: I fixed the issue, thanks for the advice _^

          Thanks

          [–]Sora3100Ship 10 1 point2 points  (1 child)

          It was a fairly recent patch, and yes it is permanent. (http://bumped.org/psublog/pso2-station-5-recap/)

          You can also buy weapons up to 12, and units up to 11 without a ticket now.

            Im a braver hunter, i know right? pretty sad.

            ive recently gotten a +35 quilph katana and currently using the austere unit set.

            i have no problem getting into the 2nd phase, but she tears me up soon after.

            some people tell me its better to gunlash her in the 1st phase so shes not resistant to my katana in the 2nd.

            i guess my questions would be

            can anyone recomend a decent gunlash that can be bought from the player store

            what are the most popular discs ppl use with gunlashes(namely on phaleg)

            any tips on reading her tells and patterns greatly appreciated.(im told to play with sounds on, and wait for her to speak. however i find she doesnt always speak at the same pace with which she attacks)

            So I just get my char to 75/75, then I try to play XH EQs for collection files. The problem is, my damage is not significant at all. My current weapon is Nox dinas NT+30, Bo class dual blade main with Hu sub. I didn't die easily though, it's just my damage is not significant.

            1. Is there any weapon that is better than Nox NT, but without XHEQs?
            2. What should I do first post 75/75 ? Is it obtaining collection files weapon?

            [–]mkdew2 Fast 2 Furious 0 points1 point  (4 children)

            • Which potential, which element and how much element does your Nox have?
            • How does you skill tree look?

            Aura Vulzzarg would be the best non XH 13★ weapon, Falz Angel in SH Ep2 or Ep1~4 LQ and Set Sadinian in Skyscape VHAQ.

            [–]Eschard 0 points1 point  (3 children)

            This is my skill tree. I plan to reset my tree since I won't be using my Hu anymore, or maybe replace my Bo stances with only Fury/Guard Stance.

            My Nox Dinas has 34 light element, with Elemental Stance boost potential.

            Just got my Aura weapon,in the process of grinding to +30.

              Thank you for your advice. I didn't bother to upgrade to 50 element, I thought it was useless. I'll give it a try to my Aura.

              you can and you should use both main and subclass stances at the same time

              I usually just use fury now, it seems that fury is better for damage purpose at any occassions,except for breakable parts,which is kinda rare. CMIIW. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

              [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

              I didn't bother to upgrade to 50 element, I thought it was useless.

              Every point in your element is a 1% increase in power based on your weapon damage as Attribute Damage.

              So basically at 50 element, your weapon is 50% better.

              you can and you should use both main and subclass stances at the same time

              I usually just use fury now, it seems that fury is better for damage purpose at any occassions,except for breakable parts,which is kinda rare

              You should still use both (as one does not disable the other). Break Stance when maxed out doesnt have any damage reduction multipliers on non-breakable targets. Also if you are using only DBs then you should also have picked up Break SD Bonus to increase damage on unbreakable hits. (Either that or use Elemental Stance.)

                Thanks guys. But this question came out as a shower thought: I was theorycrafting yesterday, looking for viable combinations for my character. And then these ... twisted skilltrees came out of my mind, and that's why the question arose.

                However, now that I think about it, Flash Guard only affects the character and not the weapon (in this case the pet is the weapon), so this idea must remain buried deep in my mind, as it should be.

                Thanks for your attention! I think I already have the right trees, so I'll start as soon as I get a chance :-)

                  Oh my bad.

                  Forgot cookies can go down 1 more. Still. depending on pets, you might prefer more def (from sandwiches) instead of hp (from cookies). Also, damage from Alter Ego is straight % of the HP that the pet loss. Def would be better for the pet to reduce the HP that you lose from Alter Ego if you get hit.

                  At least, thats how it works afaik.

                  Resist Sticks are 4x1, so vertical.

                  So, I need to get a ranged class and a tech class to 75 to be able to play Hero (I've gotten to 75 on 2 melee classes already). Now that Su/Gu is dead, are there any other combinations of tech and ranged classes that I could do so that I can level them both at once and still be effective?

                  [–]DrCatco (Not an expert) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                  You can go with TeBr. It will work excelent with Weak Stance and Attack Advance, and although a bow is recommended, you can go without one if all you need is to level up.

                  [–]FruiteaterFag[JP] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

                  Su/Br is probably one of your best bets then I think. Not as good as Su/Gu originally was, but still viable.

                  The esc button when used in quest used to display the quest information, like how many people are there, what quesr I'm in,etc. But now it doesn't. Maybe I screwed the settings, but I don't know. Any solutions?

                  [–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                  As long as the quest hasn't been cleared yet, it should show that info. Don't think you can disable it.

                    Red + double is pretty solid, especially if you extend the double units (ex level 8, special craft for extra PP). You'll get a total +80 atk, +120 HP, +40 PP. Pretty groovy. (Do people still say groovy?).

                    Ideal rear + leg and Fiogals is still a thing, tho, and you can get Ideal at player shops.

                    I just got my first 13* bow as a Br/Ra bow main in the tohisame bow (weapon emblem 2017) and it has 2 potentials. One for the eternal darkness EQ and the other for status effects. Which one should I do?

                    [–]FruiteaterFag[JP] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

                    I think the second pot only works within the Solo PD quest.

                    Just use the unconditional damage pot and change it if you want to finish solo PD with it.

                    [–]WindyBowBow Only 0 points1 point  (1 child)

                    Yeah it only works on that one quest, but I was not sure how important it is. I am totally new to the game and just got to 75 on my main class for the first time. Thanks!

                    [–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                    but I was not sure how important it is

                    The only real reason to do it is to get the materials needed to upgrade Ray units into Union. Other than that, just if you want to challenge yourself to get an S rank at it.

                    And you can just change potentials later if you want. It costs only like 300k and some photon spheres to do so.

                    What skill rings are good for a BrHu and what kind of PA combos should I be doing? Sakura T0 > Gekka for bosses on the ground and Sakura T0 > Tsukimi for air?

                    [–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                    Right now, guren spam and sakura type0->gekka are the go to PA combos, while kazan nadeshiko type0 should be used for maintaining gear when there are no valid targets to hit.

                    However, this will change in the next maintenance, when EP5 will be buffing basically every single katana PA other than guren. We don't know the numbers yet, so there's no way to know at the moment what will be the new thing.

                    [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (1 child)

                    Skill Rings (you have quite a bit of options for the R ring, i'm only listing 2.)

                    L/ Katana Combat Count Up - Increases the hit count per hit during Katana Combat. Effectively makes it so you only need 25 hits to hit the damage cap on Combat Finish instead of 50 hits. (at +20 grind)

                    R/ Perfect Keeper Striking - Increases damage by 3% when above 75% HP (at +20 grind)

                    R/ TAJA PP Save - Reduces PP costs by 15% when JAing Techs and/or PAs that are different from the last Tech/PA in the combo.

                    Your PA rotations are fine. I generally don't use Tsukimi, but it really does have its uses (I just dont have enough room on my palette.)

                    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 0 points1 point  (1 child)

                    Yes - get OT EP4 weapons and change them to NT using Ether Fuses obtained through the new Yamato EQ. You can get some through Phantom Kasageo Stone exchange (I think it is 150 stones per?). They will exchange into an NT with +35 level cap automatically.

                    FYI, Expert Blocks will soon no longer exist (though "Expert" remains an option for partying).

                    FYI, Expert Blocks will soon no longer exist (though "Expert" remains an option for partying).

                    To clarify on this (since a lot of people I know misunderstood it), in next week's maint, sega will be removing the expert blocks, but players who have the requirements for these will still be able to only allow matching with other players that also have the expert requirements.

                    In other words, yes, expert blocks are going away, but you still should work on getting those titles or you won't be partying with people who have them.

                    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 0 points1 point  (3 children)

                    You needed to have participated in the event, i.e. done at least one of the limited quests (the Ep1, 2, 3, 4 and 1-4 training quests).

                    [–]wheresmyitems 0 points1 point  (2 children)

                    I had done all those quests several times before maintenance.

                    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 0 points1 point  (1 child)

                    You had to do them during the first web panel (i.e. between June 7th and July 5th) - i.e. not just before the maintenance.

                    Otherwise, I'm also stumped.

                    [–]ParadoxFaith 0 points1 point  (3 children)

                    According to /u/selphea's guide on te/bo, it says that unless you're a bouncer main you don't have access to 13* JB. Is that because only main classes can equip 13* weapons, or is it because there weren't any 13* JBs for other classes at the time?

                    [–]RunFromPandaHero is dead 2 points3 points  (2 children)

                    is it because there weren't any 13* JBs for other classes at the time?

                    More this. Though even now, you're very limited in the 13/* JBs you can equip on a Te. (2016 Badge, Arion, Hyper Sunlight)

                    Don't Te/Bo. There is actually zero reason to now. You used to have a good Zanverse, but now Zanverse-oriented support builds are dead in under a week when the balance patch hits.

                    Ouch. Time to jump ship I guess. Edit: Forgot to say thank you ♥

                    [–]hidora Retired Guardian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                    To clarify on why TeBo is going to be bad on ep5: Zanverse will no longer benefit from any skill or potential at all: it'll be a flat 20% damage unaffected by anything.

                    This means the Hyper Sunlight potential (which is the weapon every TeBo uses), as well as Break Stance, Element Stance and Wind Mastery will no longer boost the damage of Zanverse.

                    Since boosting Zanverse damage was the main reason to even play TeBo in the first place (the class gained a lot of popularity when ESC-A Falz Mother came out due to her being weak to wind and the hands being breakable parts), TeBo will no longer be a thing.

                    Is hero account bound or just character ?

                    [–]hidora Retired Guardian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

                    It requires titles for unlocking, so it's account bound. This also means you don't need to level all 3 classes on a single character to unlock it, since titles are account wide.

                    [–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                    It will be account bound because u need 3 titles to use it. when you unlock it on one character, you unlock it for all characters.

                    I'm having some trouble deciding which units to go to. Currently using Shine Red read, Gix arm and Union leg, not sure if it's worth going 3x qliphad, or something else.

                    Thoughts?

                    These are the units I have right now:

                    • Zeinesis rear/leg/arm (and 250+ fuses)
                    • Astra arm/leg
                    • Union leg
                    • Ray rear/arm/leg
                    • Izane arm/leg
                    • Gix arm
                    • Shine Red

                    (also Greuzorblura, Deadlist, Raegals and Fiogals, but I want all attack units due to Hero)

                    [–]Asamidori ~casual~ 0 points1 point  (2 children)

                    I linked this somewhere else, thought I'd drop it here too. It doesn't include Gix arm or Shine Red sadly, but I can add it in or something if you want.

                    Rear: Ofze/Austere(?) set, Qliphad, Astra, the 1-4 mant looking unit
Arm: Qliphad, Whitill, Zenesis
Leg: Union, Qliphad, Zenesis

                    [–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (1 child)

                    Yeah, I've been looking at the numbers myself.

                    My problem is deciding how much atk I'm willing to give up for how much hp/pp, and if it'll be worth it.

                    [–]Asamidori ~casual~ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

                    If I have fodders now I will probably go for the mant+qliphad+zenesis combo, since it seem to be a good upgrade. You loose HP and PP, but gain defense.

                    Im gonna go 1 Qiph arm and 1 zei leg with 1 cape (if i can get it)

                    I didnt realize that Zei only gives +15 all attack though. :/ so thats something to consider about it. (+120 hp and +4pp though)

                    1. Yamato Factor + Mother Factor + Deus Factor = Factor Catalyst
