Sierra.

2nd for G I X is the ULTIMATE WEAPON SERIES

Stratos is a dum bname

Heroes can't have dumb names

The effort symbol rings are all the same regardless of class so it doesn't matter which one you get, right? I can just get the one with the color I like most?

...

If yer gud enuf to finish the Q on the right color class suer

The only other content where I am relevant is Gracia

How close do I have to be for TMG finish? I’ve done it 5 times now from a distance and haven’t seen any damage

thanks

I think swiki estimated it to be about a three average-sized character radius

Is Acro Effect actually good for defense?

>doing 4 million more damage than 2nd place by holding m1 and moving around with TMGs

First time doing that boss.

I didn't know what I was doing with the ship thing, but the actual boss was fun.

If you have a Techer in your MPA please don't cast Zanverse, they can cover more people in the AoE because of Territory Burst

If you're good at taimingu

It has a ton of guard frames before the backflip, it's almost as braindead as deadly circle-0
TMG normal attack on a 2x weak spot with all tmg skills taken and hero boost up is more dps than backhand smash spam

>I didn't know what I was doing with the ship thing
no one does. it has retard controls. glad you had a good time though user

What's a "2x weak spot"

Anywhere you get headshot damage

...

Okay maybe I over exaggerated a bit.

Hero > Fighter > Gunner > Bouncer > Braver > Ranger > Techer > Force

Debate me.

Headshots deal double damage, and make tmgs amazing if there are no other available weakpoints.

Move Fighter up, move Bouncer down several places.

I'd say Hero=Fighter, since they will always come close, but fighter is better than hero at some stuff, and hero is better than fighter at some stuff.

Also there's just no reason for bouncer to be above braver. Nothing a bouncer can do will beat a dual stance katana braver right now.

You forgot to put Hu between Gu and Bo.

What exactly is Fighter better at than Hero apart from raw sustained damage on a still target?

Ranger, techer and force aren't better than bouncer now.

raw sustained damage on a moving target

I mean, you pretty much nailed it right there. Its their damage on still targets, like a stunned boss, that outdamages Hero outside of Hero finish. Like I said they can come close, but it'll end with fighter coming out slightly on top. In other content featuring highly aggressive enemies that rarely get stunned, hero will come on top.

Hero aoe suffers if things aren't zondeel'd on top of each other compared to Fi. Fi can mob way more safely as well. It's no fun doing the final part before falz in LQ1~4 and having aggro on mother, ragnus a decol malluda and half the small mobs as hero, I almost always lose my hero boost if I have aggro on half of them or more.

>go talis
>use wise hound
>racer edge back to sword
>swing it a bit
>the little ones are all dead by then

If that works then the first problem I listed isn't present.

Does attack advance ring work for hero?

Nope. Nothing boosts hero normal attacks other than its own skill.

What rings would you recommend for hero.

To be honest, probably just effort symbol and maybe pp convert to switch to every so often. None of the other right rings are all that great for it.

Killing Bonus isn't terrible.

>Zext is playing PSO2 again

Man people really suck at LQ.

Someone post the real picture of zext

>rare mining stuff has Yerkes so the COs are always there
>fishing shit doesn't
>you can go weeks without getting the CO for a specific type
Why?

buy material storage (((friend)))

At least they don't time out any more, even if the runs are bad enough I get 5 hero times.

What's the deal with material storage?

It's fucking expensive, not permanent, and not even included in premium, so it's a fucking scam.

Does heroes having resta mean the gix sword is going to be busted for them?

...

yes, especially with how PP-light sword on hero seems to be, gix seems perfect if you're going to main sword

Shits fucking terrible I remember the first time I followed my friend to Vegas I was baffled that something could control so fucking bad

>80/60
>can get 3 classes to 75 in less exp than it takes to get one to 80
you did this to yourself.

Gix talis should be broken too, if hero's step doesn't count as mirage escape.

It doesn't count as mirage escape

It doesn't hurt anything. More Zanverses can cover an even bigger area. Most Techers are retarded and don't play support anyway.

Oh wow. My body is ready for the Gix revival.

Rideroid contols are fine for me with a controller.

Left: Step Jump (essential), Step JA Combo, Tech Charge Parrying.
Right: PP Convert, Effort Symbol, Adrenaline, Friends Protection.

Too bad hero is supposed to switch weapons which resets the potential

>this shit again

almost have 1000 excubes, what should I do with them?

>hero
>step ja combo
nah. My personal left ring selection for hero is step jump, air reversal, atomiser lovers, and a +20 attack filler. I dont cast techs with talis so that's a bust for me. for right ring I'm a fan of effort symbol, adrenaline, or massive hunter depending on content.

The moment you ever decide to do good affixes you're going to need more than that, you can just hoard them. Otherwise you can turn them in for grinders to sell or something, the excube shop has your options.

Why Atomiser Lovers?

Well, you're a huge retard I hope you realize that

greatly speeds up the usage of star/moon atomisers, as well as seemingly granting invulnerability during their use.

That's fine, go and eat a dick though.

Step>JA reload>step> JA reload is faster than just holding reload.

Yes, switching weapons depending on the situation is a very good idea. I don't know why some people in this thread have such a problem with that concept. It's almost like people see solo PD videos and think those represent the ideal way to play the class in all situations.

pls carry me thru 4 beach wars soon

Not him, but ideally if you main a class you should be gearing it for every scenario, and that includes 1weapon quests, for which Gix is quite clearly king

While I'm not going to disagree with that, because it actually sounds, well, sound, I'm not such a tryhard that refilling my pp an extra second or two sooner is going to make me use it.

>doing the most damage is not always optimal
Huh?

I want to gick my gix into Stratoschan.

Ok good for you but don't go acting like it's bad when you just don't feel like using it. It confuses people who don't know better

It was more that hero has first blood, which is in essence step JA anyway. It's like giving braver step JA when it has snatch JA.

I want to impregnate Stratos-chan (with responsibility taken)

Hybrid Braver actually used to do that to get the 2 SP back

Considering what deals the most damage can vary depending on the situation, yes actually. The on paper highest dps is not alayse the best move for the situation.

Actually I'd consider Zein/Quliff the king for the very few 1 weapon quests. The double attack affix makes up quite a bit for the missing 6% modifier at max between them, and doubled HP/PP affixes are amazing for keeping hero boost up and just generally keeping up your DPS. Gix is honestly really old news.

Are you actually retarded or just trolling? Are you mentally incapable of looking at the numbers, or trying it in practice, and seeing that swords are not actually the best DPS?

Show even a single video that shows sword isn't the best

My man, Racer Edge is Hero's best DPS. This is a known fact.

Also helps with not prematurely activating banish because of the damage from fucking snatch.

Why is your small brain only capable of following what other people do in videos?

If what you're looking for is solo PD, obviously sword is the best. Not only does that quest reward precharged burst damage way more than most other quests in the game, but PD itself takes way more damage from striking attacks than it does ranged/tech thanks to its weird resistances.

These two facts are very obviously not universal across the entire game, and if you think they are you might be retarded.

>Banish
What is this, I think you are referring to something that does not exist

The one exception being TMG headshots.

Are you supposed to left click or moment trick in those situations

For TMGs, Second Edge > Moment Trick > Normals for on paper DPS. Normals are so much easier to work with though, especially if you're manually aiming.

Just left click. Most enemies that have heads that can be headshot but no weakpoints generally move around a lot and are fairly aggressive, so being able to stay on the move helps a good bit.

It used to be a wonderful thing.

They should have given Hero a better version of end attract too

every tmg hit should call down a fully charged sat cannon

What do we know about the new collection files and the new 14* hero weapons?

worse then gix and qliph who cares get fucked newfag

You'll never get the 14* who cares

>implying i didn't already finish 5 +35 zeins, and finished turning one of them into a qliph already.
There's a miniscule chance i might, nice to have that small glimmer of hope anyway.

Every event is a treat thanks to the ARKs that join in.

What's going on

Xiera is very cute when she pronounces vopar!
