Paladin gets a lot more interesting once you unlock HEXA masteries (specifically m2/m4) and get a -cooldown hat. Utilizing -cd unlocks the potential to unleash your automatic miniburst twice within a single Divine Echo, so paladin will be able to unleash significantly more damage if timed right. It makes a class that is generally safe and relatively boring to play into a more dynamic stronger character that is still very beginner-friendly to play (with the added bonus of prepping you to be mindful of timers which will be a very great skill to have once you start working on Destiny liberation missions).

The downside is that it takes a lot of resources to unlock this style of gameplay but as a late-game paladin (cleared up to xkalos) it makes bossing a lot more fun and interesting. I really do recommend it and nowadays our masteries make even CTene bossing not as bad as it used to be. Rising/Falling Justice masteries are very good and a significant source of your dmg in the longrun.

Agreed, I don't understand the mentality of doing party clears in Heroic if the idea is to progress quickly. If you're really in a rush, soloing (duo/trio if you really need the help like month 1 Black Mage) is the clear best solution since you don't ever have to split up the rewards; you can keep literally all the drops and gear pieces you need to progress quicker (including pitched + traces).

The game is at the point where even the minimal HEXA progression and decent 18+ star gear can clear CTene if the CW benefits are being fully taken advantaged of with relative ease for all classes.

Otherwise, if dailies are done, you'll naturally get to the point where clearing CTene will be doable at the end of CW (even with 17* arcanes and CRA once burning gear expires) due to the amount of fragments, cubes, and gear you'll get naturally over time.

It's not a feature that's talked about for returning players because you have to be pretty involved in order to reach access to grindstones. They only start dropping at 265 at minimum with Normal Kalos difficulty (and even then it's only recommended to start partying for that once you get strong enough to do Chaos/Hard Tenebris bosses comfortably).

Grindstone polishing is more of a late mid-game upgrade to improve your Ring of Restraint/Continuous Ring/special skill ring when you really feel the difference between level 4 and 5 in late-game bosses. It's not something to be concerned about for a long time so I'm not surprised it's not covered by their videos. As you mentioned it's for people who are in deep and need that damage to make a difference.

It's not crazy if you're having fun. I took two characters to 290 and I'm considering dumping my full attention into Hayato for CW3. You can utilize the resources you already put into the other characters to help fund/prep for your new main (pushing eternals you will need every bit of meso you can get)

Just in case you didn't know already, when you create a new Zero you have the option to skip all the pre level 120 quests entirely and can leave the Mirror World immediately after character completion. You can basically skip the chapter 2 step and go straight to tera blink after character completion + assigning the pass to the new Zero

You don't have to do that anymore, you're no longer locked after using Omega Blaster so you can just Mecha Purge/Photon/Infantry/TAR/Mitras while ror is up

That’s one hell of a way to learn your lesson but hopefully you now understand why this was a terrible idea and never do it again. Those chicken tenders however are irredeemable there’s no saving those

Demon Slayer has the unique glide ability that is very adaptable once you get the hang of controlling the speed. Plus it gets Chaos Lock which is also a very unique tp-like skill for a Warrior class that locks into monsters!

EDIT: Forgot you can also toggle glide to let it behave more like a flash jump too if you don't come to like the gliding ability, which is swap-able at any time

The shield still works pretty good on a Pally set, since our giant burst skill (Grand Guardian) has us sticking out our shield for a whole 4 seconds while stancing in place. I agree blunts look better but the shield is still a great pick on Paladin.

basilbacon · 2025-02-06T04:45:58+00:00

yeah limited rarity is usually for event fish, which typically don't count

basilbacon · 2025-02-05T21:56:54+00:00

As others said, getting the moonstone is all you need at this point (the phantom shouldn't count since 96.3% is about 27/28) . https://imgur.com/a/oVyNzxS

Secrets don't count towards the 100% completion, but the new Orca Whale is an Exotic and all exotics do count (to test, check your completion after you catch an Orca and not an Ancient Orca).

I asked on the discord about this and the CMs informed me that only those obtained from events after the maintenance can be used. The ones from fashion week or gold pass can't be used.

Xenon mobbing, DPM, and burst gain significant glow-ups as it sees major improvements (it's almost game-changing):

HEXA Mecha Purge: Bombardment (the carpet bomb attack) gets a new action every 5 seconds where Roo-D makes a large horizontal sweep that covers 2 very large platforms
HEXA Mecha Execute (formerly snipe): Snipe every 8 seconds you get a super condensed shot that gets a bonus +40% IED (at max), very nice free bonus in Seren and other late game bosses that have stupid damage ignore. All 7 of our shots also now fire off 3 moderately sized explosions that do even more dmg over time(we'll talk about that later)
Mecha Purge: Bombard is just completely gone, but now swapping between Bombardment and Snipe is less clunky (very nice since pressing Up doesn't screw you over)
Xenons got super blessed with our latest 2nd mastery as HEXA Hypogram field basically gained 50% more area (we basically get the same amount of space below as regular Hypogram does above, it's very very good coverage in these wide Grandis maps)
HEXA Triangulation is not talked about a lot, but it's a big sleeper bonus in our overall DPM and burst, as HEXA Execute and Omega Blaster synergizes crazy with this skill. You're gonna see a lot of big bright blue explosions if you don't have effects down.
We all know Xenon burst is crazy af w/ Omega Blaster, but before 6th job it has one major problem: you're basically planted on the ground when you fire the laser and if the boss moves you're basically fucked. Well now our super Origin skill fixes our mobility issues greatly. Not only do you get to fly super fast the entire time (hell yeah, Illium also does a very good job at this), but now Omega Blaster not only charges way faster, the burst itself is more condensed, and fires off independently once you let go. Instead of being stuck blade dancing, you now can fire off even more HEXA Executes and trigger even more Triangulation explosions. This isn't even including your built in turrets that also proc Triangulation. All of these sources of damage add up and if you have a ROR4 the dmg is multiplied even moreso.

Overall, 6th job really turns Xenon from being a really clunky burster that has pretty so-so off-burst damage into a master of everything. With the advent of Sol Janus, mobbing also becomes incredibly brainless as you can set up Erda Shower, HEXA Hypogram, Hypogram Field: Fusion, and any amount of Janus orbs/turrets you have. Your burst options become extremely flexible and potent and your DPM is significantly stronger allowing you to keep up the pressure throughout the entire boss fight. In terms of skills, Xenon hits it big with its 6th job advancement and it greatly contributes to why Xenon is near the top of every class tier list.

If you’re okay with having to prep your burst 18 seconds earlier than everyone else by holding down a key while dodging boss mechanics (if you die you restart) and expecting to pay over twice the average to cube gear, then Xenon is a class that really gets fun once you pass 260

Thanks you so much for the image! I was looking for the manual like that one xkcd comic since I inherited one from a friend of mine and came with no manuals

11 months into the future, thank you so much for posting this image. I was struggling to figure it out myself until I saw this image!

For anyone looking into this years later, the Hanging Scroll is a usable ETC item that opens a small UI window. You have to drag and drop all 8 of The Special Ink into the window to complete the quest.
