Skill Builds: Part Two

[Chaos]

I was surfing around the internets and I came across a guide that had the Pros and Cons of each build. Just sharing it with you all.

[glow=red,999,999]POWER[/glow]
Power: 4, Magic: 1, Sense: 1, Charm: 4

Pros: Excellent HP, defence and evasion! You'll be a tank!
Cons: Digging impossible at low levels! D: You can't carry much... Less critical hits. =P And skills tend to miss. /:
---
Power: 4, Magic: 1, Sense: 2, Charm: 3

Pros: More critical with this build. More carry and dig. (: Skills hit more often. This 'causes more 1-Hit KOs. =D
Cons: Less HP, defence and evasion than first build.
---
Well the other builds are just bad... I mean really bad! You need the good HP and defence. (:

First build is good but you can't really dig or get critical hits. /: And you'll be relying on normal attack as skills tend to miss. Awesome when going for bosses that don't use magic attacks and your attack rate is quick. =D But because you can't dig well you'll be very poor in the beginning. /:

Second build is quite perfect when leveling fast and cheap. ^^ Good for newbies. =D Simple as that! Also if you want to use skills this will be good. (:
As some skills tend to rock more than normal attacking in the end... but still those use up MP. O:

[glow=blue,999,999]MAGIC[/glow]
Power: 1, Magic: 4, Sense: 1, Charm: 4

Pros: Good defence, Good HP, Good evasion. Bosses can't kill you that good.
Cons: Bad accuracy, bad dig and carry. Can't hit bosses until at high levels...
---
Power: 1, Magic: 4, Sense: 2, Charm: 3

Pros: Excellent with Magic Ring type. More accuracy than first build.
Cons: Less HP, defence and evasion that first build. Magic Ring has quite the short range so you need to be closer to enemies... hence the more HP than third build. :3
---
Power: 1, Magic: 4, Sense: 3, Charm: 2

Pros: Excellent with Magic Arrow type. Magic arrow has less accuracy than magic ring so you need the extra. Longer range than Magic Ring.
Cons: Less HP, defence and evasion than second build.
---
Power: 1, Magic: 4, Sense: 4, Charm: 1

Pros: Excellent accuracy, dig and carry. Pure Magic power!
Cons: Sucky HP, defence and evasion. Bosses kill you fast! Bad at later levels... I wouldn't go for this.
---
Never pick 1. D: You can't hit anything... But they can't hit you well. O: Hmmmm... leveling is quite slow soloing. Party party party... But you'll be a support character most of the time. /: So not a good build for fast leveling.
You could use you bonus points on Luck... But with the other builds you could do more damage when put to Magic Attack. =D

Pick either type 2 or 3 so you can beat bosses and soloing is quite good with these builds. =D Magic Ring needs the extra HP, defence and evasion as the range is shorter than MA's. The enemies might get to you. O: But MR has a shorter cast time than MA. =P Pick wisely...

Pick 4 if you want to level quite fast at lower levels but don't die too often from low defence and HP. >.> High levels will make you party more. =P So soloing is not a good idea when going for high leveled monsters. Bosses aren't for you. Until you're safe with Defence and HP, which could take a while. D:

[glow=purple,999,999]SENSE[/glow]
Power: 1, Magic: 1, Sense: 4, Charm: 4

Pros: Good evasion, HP and defence. You can take/evade many attacks. :3
Cons: You'll suck against magic. D: I mean really... Magic defence will suck! Damage will be quite sucky (same with second build).
---
Power: 1, Magic: 2, Sense: 4, Charm: 3

Pros: Better with magic monsters and MP is decent. (:
Cons: Less HP, evasion and defence (Duh!). xD
---
Power: 3, Magic: 1, Sense: 4, Charm: 2

This is good for Gun Lions. Also it gives a faster delay. So you'll attack faster. =D
Cons: Sucky MP and magic defence. D:
---
Note! I only did this assumption from the builds I found... Also they noted that Sense types don't need Power since their damage isn't based on Attack. =P

Now... First build. You won't be going against magical enemies... >.> They'll kill you even with High HP... 'cause your magic defence sucks bad.

Second build is good for magical enemies. Also you get more MP. (: Good if you want to rely on skills more. =D

EDIT: If you're going for gun Lion! You must have more Power so you'll do more damage with guns! Thanks Wikipedia! =D
Foxes don't need it 'cause they can't use guns. (: But I'm not sure about Shurikens... >.> Must research. :3 If they don't need Power then you can choose to use skills or pure normal attacks. (:

The third build is quite good if you don't want to rely on skills... but the HP, defence and evasion will be low... so short range combats are quite tough. D: Yet good with Shurikens and Guns. =D Go for it! x)
But again... beware those magical monsters. D:

[glow=orange,999,999]CHARM[/glow]
Power: 2, Magic: 2, Sense: 2, Charm: 4

Pros: Decent average stats. (:
Cons: Check the others to see what makes this better or worse. =D
---
Power: 3, Magic: 2, Sense: 1, Charm: 4

Pros: Good damage. =D Faster attacks and good accuracy for attacks.
Cons: Your dig will suck. ><;; And you can't really carry much. /: Skills will miss. D:
---
Power: 2, Magic: 1, Sense: 3, Charm: 4

Pros: You'll be hitting many things and with criticals also more damage with criticals. O: Decent dig. =D Skills are your use...
Cons: The damage won't be much when higher levels even with critical... and MP and magic defence will suck. /: Magic enemies will kill you even with your large amount of HP.

(You can also change Magic to 2 for more MP for your skills but your Power will go down to 1... I actually recommend this if you want to use skills quite a lot. Or then go for the first build.)
---
First build is pretty average... Good when soloing. =D I'd try with this at first when newbie.

Second build is good for damage... Also your attack rate is quite fast. =D

Third build isn't really that good if you're going for magical monsters a lot. /: Which makes partying with Magic typed people quite hard 'cause they go for those with their awesome Magic Defence. xD But you'll pwn with Buffalos and Bunnies quite well. =D Just stay away from those Magic monsters and you're good. xD

In his posts, he says these are ASSUMPTIONS. Results may vary.

Alright, well, hop this helps you guys pick a build

[infieri]

Nice.
Thanks Chao :3


...I didn't use any of the builds they reccomended XD Ah well.

[Reaza]

Actually, I've got three characters to worry about and I don't think I'm going to use any of those builds. Thanks for posting it though makes me think of better ideas.

[Malicus]

Wikipedia is often not quite right. In this case, gun-users don't necessarily need high power. They only need one of the three power stats. The accuracy stat determines their attack power, and the luck stat determines their accuracy. (I'm not quite sure about what determines their criticals, granted. Luck again?) So, really, all you have to do is put all your bonus into accuracy. With the first build, you might not do as much damage as the people who have high power and pump accuracy, but you also won't die nearly as easily.

[cronosx]

um im makin my character how I! want it =P

[Chaos]

Don't double post Cronos >_>

[Reaza]

Um....when did he double post this time, yes he has a habit of oing it but I don't thin he did anything wrong this time.

[Chaos]

I deleted his second post >_>

[Flayd]

Meh... I deleted a TRIPLE post on the Board Updates, and that wasn't even necessary to post there since it had nothing to do with the updates D= Oh well.

Hmmm... I should check out these skill builds as well. I'm considering on restarting my Fox since it has guns instead of knives D=

[Reaza]

Note for Crono whenever he returns.

Everytime I have additional information to say that I may have thought of after already posting a intree I just highlight the wording in a different color

or

you could do what I think Aelt does and just write edit and then continue writing in a modified post.

[Chaos]

That's what I do, Reaza >_> I write edit in all my posts I put additional information in. Aelt did it with one of his posts though, so... yea, whatever.

[Reaza]

Um....yeah Chaos ;D.....it may have been an accident with the posting the same thing twice but still, don't double post.

[Flayd]

Problem solved :3

[Chaos]

Ah damnit... stuff happens >_>
