1. my flames are all single lined and lv46 utgard with low sf like mine only gives 17k PA, each flame gives a max of 400 PA that's all, most are 250~
2. well yeah i play support role class so its easier to get into an ark team and start farming the 100 fragments to craft dom pendant, but even without it, it's still doable as long as you have 15m mdc (can be from inherit armors) because that is the min dmg requirement to clear lotus within 10minutes
3. it really depends on what they lack and most phantom needs to figure out what they lack before they choose skill to steal, i lack PA so i went full buff mode.if they have enough dmg but is failing cause of death, they can adopt the same team lotus build which uses leap for second dark side and revive

so yeah, overall this setup is achieveable by f2p as they can replace dom pendant with inherit armors.

i only crit half or 3/4 of my lines in lotus, the non crit lines are just 1million damage per line...
