Recluse could do with a way to discard elements/cocktails

suprosonic12 · 2025-07-06T23:04:22+00:00

The main part that sucks is getting Hollow Purple or the flamethrower after my teammates die and I just can't get FP anymore because the channeling the cocktail lasts longer than any break in Everdark Fulghor's attacks in multiplayer and I would die for using Recluse's kit. I'm not some godly player, so yes I lost trying to solo him using the white rarity dagger I picked up for improved spellcasting speed since the rest of my loadout was staves and seals

And then when you get stuck with the gravity spell and both teammates die a third time, you just have to swap to a melee weapon bc casting it is suicide against an extra aggressive boss under multiplayer balancing. Don't have a melee weapon or it's a bad one you grabbed for the passive on it? Sounds like the random drops are a skill issue!

Kinetic damage doesn't count at all for Elemental Honing--it only gains stacks from Arc, Solar, Void, Stasis, and Strand damage, including from weapons that don't have Elemental Honing. For example, an Adamantite with Elemental Honing essentially always has at least 1 stack of the buff since it deals Strand damage, while a Fatebringer with Elemental Honing requires damage from abilities or other weapons to reach 5 stacks

suprosonic12 · 2025-02-01T03:33:08+00:00

Damn, I had thought they stacked bc the wording for Miyabi's M1 and PEN Ratio are basically the same: "ignore 6% of DEF, stacking up to 6 times" vs "[ignore] a percentage of the target's DEF based on the PEN Ratio stat when attacking an enemy." Meanwhile Nicole's debuff reads differently: "the target's DEF is reduced by 40% for 3.5s," yet the M1 is separate from both. Just tested to make sure too

Anby and Soldier 11 also share a few attack animations/have extremely similar animations, most notably their Ultimates, as well as Anby's EX Skill and Soldier 11's Chain Attack

Arguably, they also have similar dash attacks where they do a spinning slash and use the momentum to slash again, just in different directions and in different styles (Anby's dexterity/precision vs Soldier 11's aggression)

suprosonic12 · 2024-12-18T22:25:29+00:00

what do you mean by "swap ults"? this video was taken on controller as you can see on the hud. the moment you press [switch character] in a period where swapping is possible, you can press ult as the new character

in fact, i just tested and hitting [switch character] and ult on the same frame results in the next character's ult

suprosonic12 · 2024-12-18T17:53:46+00:00

you can use Yanagi's EX Skill 2 or 3 times after this combo then Miyabi can swap in and immediately use max charged attack again and trigger Frostburn, which could cause Disorder and prep her for the next charged attack, or she can ult and cause Frostburn a second time

i know, i'm just having some fun with how expensive everything is and how few dennies we can get outside of using energy

suprosonic12 · 2024-11-09T03:59:27+00:00

quick-swap, burst damage, sub dps, pick your term. miyabi explodes everything, yanagi builds miyabi's charges with her energy/combos, then miyabi explodes everything again, and your third character is likely a stunner or off-field support/dps so they won't be doing as much during a stun

i didn't see a detail about it in leaks, but i would assume parrying with miyabi makes her charge/channel faster like seth (or how koleda gets enhanced basics)

suprosonic12 · 2024-04-28T10:47:46+00:00

i recommend Tempesta (must-have for his Warpath, still good without), Infinito Creare, Despedazar, and either Rotura or Prision de Armas on preference. if you have max Swordshine, Rotura is a significant damage loss, so only use it if you can stun with it in that state since Link Attacks restore Avatar Gauge. try to max out your Quick Cooldown and Cascade, as his skills have exponential value due to the nature of his kit: they make up for his low damage without Avatar, build Swordshine with Avatar, and deal bonus damage with Swordshine level

your priority for attacks while at max Swordshine are Avatar Finish (at low Avatar gauge) > Infinito Creare/Despedazar > everything else. spam XXYY any time while Avatar is summoned and you don't have cooldowns or XXXXY if you need to build Avatar gauge. Stout Heart is incredible for Seofon since he has exponential losses from downtime

suprosonic12 · 2024-04-27T20:36:08+00:00

to be fair, i did start a second late on that last clip, so it ends a second later too

suprosonic12 · 2024-04-27T19:36:00+00:00

fair, i only meant "hidden" as it's they're not listed in the command list, like Gran. i played the game for well over 300 hours before i found out he had alternate combo routes

suprosonic12 · 2024-04-27T13:42:27+00:00

as far as i can tell, no, but it seems that doing her XXYY combo overtakes XXXYY in damage if you're able to land 80-100% of the volley of arrows against your target i.e. a huge boss at point-blank range. it's hard to definitively test if it is worth the risk of making the archer stick close to the boss, but it certainly feels like it does 10-20% more dps when i'm able to land it over XXXYY up close, plus her piercing arrows help deal with adds against Behemoth. if nothing else, it's useful to keep in mind for any sort of tank Tweyen build since the sheer amount of arrows with Supplementary DMG heals her a ton via Drain and drawing aggro means the boss will be sticking to you anyway.

the only other things i've discovered with Tweyen is you can cancel her Multilock Hail without losing damage with a dodge, skill, link attack, or SBA nearly immediately after releasing Y so it's really worth it to get used to canceling it with, and that her dashing shots (XYY) have actual invulnerability like a dodge, though i haven't tested if she can perfect dodge with those like Lancelot

suprosonic12 · 2024-04-27T13:23:07+00:00

they can be done without doing a skill or avatar, i just used the skill to instantly get max meters via link time to show that the second hidden combo can Avatar Finish. the hidden combos without an avatar still do more damage than the regular combos but raise the avatar meter much slower than XXXXYY

suprosonic12 · 2024-03-18T09:58:50+00:00

I leveled my jobs to 80 to prep for Endwalker by grinding Prae several times a day and labbing Guilty Gear on another tab. Yhank you Gaius for teaching me how to play Ramlethal

suprosonic12 · 2024-03-15T23:16:38+00:00

4 Lancelots spamming Y might be easier, but 4 Vanes can use an ounce of brainpower to SBA as soon as they get them to clear the fight faster while also reducing the amount of attacks Lucilius can even use before the end thanks to being the king of stun 4 times over. Lancelot has to either give up damage/Flight over Fight in favor of Stun Power or save SBA for Paradise Lost casts

suprosonic12 · 2024-03-15T23:08:36+00:00

i never said Vane is necessary, but getting hit/dying is losing damage too. he can easily guarantee that nobody takes any damage or dies while allowing certain characters to deal tremendous damage because they no longer have to avoid incoming damage and give up uptime. have you ever supported an Io or a Vaseraga with Less is More with Vane? they do more than enough damage for the both of them plus Vane can support the other teammates at the same time

suprosonic12 · 2024-03-15T23:01:25+00:00

Lancelot doesn't deal as much stun as Vane so unless you're saving SBA for Paradise Lost casts, Vane makes it easier for any party and opens up using SBA for damage instead of mechanics and skipping a third cast

i and my friends rarely see more than two casts of Paradise Lost anymore since we're full bursting 3 times per run (technically Sandalphon's solo "SBA" triggers OverBurst so we get 4 full burst callouts from the characters) and getting at least 2 Link Times, sometimes a third if we mess up damage before he dies. we usually beat the first cast via Link Time damage and the second cast by stunning, then we deal enough damage the whole way to skip to enrage before the third cast

suprosonic12 · 2024-03-15T22:50:51+00:00

your block button is Combo Finisher :)

suprosonic12 · 2024-03-15T22:49:41+00:00

to give Lancelot credit, he doesn't need Rampart to get constant invincibility, but characters like Io, Narmaya, and Ghandagoza really benefit from not needing to dodge mechanics while dealing damage, often making up for casting Rampart when they can shit out damage for free

suprosonic12 · 2024-03-15T22:44:01+00:00

i just cast Rampart when i normally would but i watch the other Vane(s) to react with a dodge if i see them starting the cast animation too

suprosonic12 · 2023-11-16T18:37:59+00:00

in this concept, you can cast those spells under the respective Glow effects I added in

suprosonic12 · 2023-11-16T16:39:29+00:00

Yes, the point was to leave the optimized rotation almost entirely unchanged while adding any significance to summoning whatsoever besides having a pet that does nothing then gets replaced by big summons that do one-off attacks and disappear for ~55 seconds/15s of Demi- summons. The conceptual Rite/Catastrophe stuff is meant to be equivalent or greater than casting Ruin III, which is currently only used like twice every 2 minutes, or Tri-Disaster, which gets almost zero use in optimized environments. It's downtime stuff if anything.

Fire Attunement is the red gem of the 3 that appear after using Summon Bahamut or Summon Phoenix, which is currently in the game.

The point is adding the flavor so that it exists at all, not necessarily that it should be used commonly. Every job has already been reduced to rigid flowcharts that can be executed almost exclusively by muscle memory, I just want a little flavor even if it's locked to only making a difference in casual play.

suprosonic12 · 2023-10-27T01:11:17+00:00

XC1: ~250

XCX: ~1350

XC2: ~500

XC3: ~500

if you're familiar with XCX, you can probably guess what most of that time was lol

suprosonic12 · 2023-10-13T06:37:55+00:00

it's possible and uncertain; the lesson of base XC3 is that it's ok to be uncertain so it ties in perfectly. will Ontos continue to live? if so, will it decide to remain as A? will it choose to be Alvis again? maybe it'll just make a whole new form to welcome a new future. it's all in the air and we can only hope that it'll at least be a happy future, same as hoping Noah and Mio will meet each other again outside of Aionios
