Quick question - Quick answer

I would like to hear the reasons why people would play a XXcaseal over a cast, aesthetics aside. In which moments, with what equipment, encounter etc etc. are they shining? I'm really curious what people think about those two.

I have no experience with RAcaseal, so I'll just list some things about HUcaseal. Also, I'm not gonna try to make a case for HUcaseal being better than HUcast, because objectively HUcast is better. It's just that HUcaseal has a lot of little things that add up to make a very fun character to play. I personally enjoy playing HUcaseal more than HUcast.

First off, HUcaseal has a lot more ATA. 27 ATA to be exact. It's like adding 30 hit to all your weapons. For example, a HUcaseal with a Red Ring and basic 50 hit cvulcs has a total of 300 ATA. for a HUcast, to match that 300 ATA would need 80 hit cvulcs for a total of 303 ATA. 300 ATA puts you in the realm of using NSS combos instead of NNS or NHS combos. this also applies to other weapons with sacrificial specials. I'm pretty sure a HUcast using NHS combos will still do more damage than a HUcaseal using NSS, but she can a lot more damage than her ATP on paper would suggest. It also allows her an easier time using other specials. The extra ATA also makes HUcaseal an easier character to start out with because that new player doesn't need hit on their weapons nearly as bad as with a HUcast.

HUcaseal has really good weapon animations. Everyone mentions the doublesaber and dagger animations, which are unique to HUcaseal, but the female twin sword animation is also way better than the male animation. I think the slicer animation is better as well. I've heard the female sword animation is slightly faster, but leaves you slightly more vulnerable. HUcaseal doesn't really have any bad animations (except maybe fist and claw, but who cares). A HUcaseal with a Jizai, a POSS, and a V502 is almost like cheating against ep4 lizards.

HUcaseal can make use of both android only and female only equipment. That includes S-Parts, D-Parts, Gratia, Vivienne, Sweetheart, and Last Swan. Last Swan is worth a special mention. Last Swan can do a lot more damage vs. a 50 hit charge raygun. That weapon gets a bad rep due to lvl 80 HUneys spamming it everywhere, but it is really a fantastic handgun. Unfortunately she can't use Zanba or the special on Flowen's 3084, so she is stuck with Yunchang/Excal for a sacrificial multi-hit weapon

Also, the Jizai is not female only, but it is fantastic on HUcaseal so I wanted to mention it again.

This kinda turned into an essay, but I just wanted to point out why I think HUcaseal is really fun to play.
 
You forgot to mention that HUcaseal is the best looking character out of all of them. Like the most important reason to play her. :wacko:

Regarding sword animation, male and female have the same speed but male steps forward at the end which makes them more vulnerable than females. I also believe the double saber animation on HUcaseal is the same speed as other females as well, but it's faster than males (but I lost the frame data for this so I'd have to double check).

The only "bad" animation that HUcaseal has compared to HUcast, if I remember correctly, is saber, since it's a bit slower and also has an awkward step at the end.

Good info.

I made a quick video showing what a HUcaseal can do with a Jizai against lizards. Equipment is a Red Ring, 25 hit Jizai, Proof of Sword-Saint, and V502. EP4 Ultimate multiplayer mode.
 
Hey, does anyone know how to tell what stats an armor/shield will have after combining? Like I have a +3 def Spirit Garment, how good of an Aura Field or Love Heart would it make?

It will end up as a +3 def Aura Field/Love Heart.

Compared to RAcast, while RAcaseal does have some merits, like having 7 more ATA and access to female equipments, for the most part the benefits are not enough to outweigh the difference in ATP.

Okay so new question. Is there some place that shows what the stat differences are between what this game uses and PSO World? Like how much max defense and evade can all of these variable armor and shield items have?

Keep an eye out for the Ephinea Wiki. It hasn't been released yet, but once it's released, it'll probably be one of the most accurate source around for information like this.

For the time being, there are a few sources, one of them can be find here.

Alternatively you can use an ItemPMT Editor to read the pmt file directly. The pmt file can be found in the ship server files here, I don't know if there is a better source for it.

Type SH/Shot 40h
80 ATA
Flat 130 ATP after grind

Charge Arms 50h
83 ATA
80-160 ATP after grind
 
So Spirit Garment is more or less useless? It can only make up to +7 def of stuff that can otherwise have up to +50? How else do you even get a love heart if you want to get one that has +50 def?

Charge Arms may have slightly higher average ATP after Shifta is cast (roughly 139 with Shifta 30), but SH/Shot has the benefit of stable damage. Overall it's cosmetics more than anything.

Yes, armor made from Spirit Garment is more or less min stat. You can't get a high stat Love Heart/Sweetheart unfortunately, except through event -- there was one Easter where Love Heart had a chance to appear for more than +7 def in an egg gamble. I don't think anyone has it though, and I don't know if it will appear again in future events.
 
@Gopchang
Personally, i used the solomode missions to level up while hunting things that i needed to start out with.

Example: Started as Redria and did forest of sorrow for God/Battle, also hunted in ep4 for FOnm gear (switched to multimode and hunted in the area before the first Warp in ma4c for this)

Keep in mind the tables have changed drastically.. but I'd like to stress that it's important to plan out your characters and their IDs.

The idea of solo mode doesn't appeal to you..make a multi mode game, name it TTF and just run towards the future for levels.

The first couple bosses in towards the future can be soloed pretty easily after you get a little gear if people don't join your TTF. You could use this quest to kill Sil Dragon repeatedly for an item drop that you may need.
 
My friend tells me level 15 rabarta (ramar rabarta) has a higher chance to freeze than level 20 rabarta. Is this true?
 
Strictly speaking no, Rabarta has a flat 20% chance to freeze regardless of level, but in practice it seems different.

At least until next year's event, but the Stealth Kit and chef trade-ins will be unavailable.
 
Double post, sorry....

Is pioneer 2 mag affected by the color of the mag?

Thanks!
 
1. Between mag levels 35-50, if you switch from a FO to a HU will your mag change as well? Like for example, Kalki doesn't change between Lv10-35 no matter what class is feeding it, does the same apply for a mag between 35-50?

2. Does the server save data each time there's a loading/"warp" screen? Like, if I go down to Forest 1 and my computer crashes after loading, is the most recent save when I was teleporting down?
 
Won't change from 35-50 either, it stays locked in its class evolutionary line until 50 (then it will change depending on HU/RA/FO).

The server saves data when anything is done, so don't worry about possibly losing data. There are also daily backups, so even if the server goes kaput for some reason, everyone's character information will still be saved somewhere.

And no, Pioneer 2 doesn't change on colour.
