Title: Cosmic Break
Post by: ArteShy on November 29, 2010, 05:58:57 PM
So basically, this a game where you play as Moe Mechas. But under all the cuteness, there is a really serious story.

This is a video that explains the story : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icOW2jP3nTA&feature=related

Anyway, does anyone play it, here on MoTK?

I've played through both betas and mini-betas. I really enjoy and will now do so even more now that the Ivis hell is over. My newest addiction really.

I recall a lot of people on MotK being excited about this game. I wonder where they all went... Maybe we could organize ourselves into one of the factions and play together.

Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: An Odd Sea Slug on November 29, 2010, 11:04:24 PM
We should really figure out what union everyone's gonna be in (I'm assuming they're gonna let us reselect, now that the wipe has happened) so we can get this ship outta port.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Jana on November 29, 2010, 11:21:58 PM
It'd be cool to start today, so I'm just gonna throw out there that I like Bladine (for COURAGE and FRIENDSHIP) and Wizdom (for SMARTS and RIE TANAKA). Maybe I'll just make two characters and have one on each faction until we pick one to stick to?
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Bitmap on November 30, 2010, 01:38:59 AM
I'm up for either DOS or BRD.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: MysTeariousYukari on November 30, 2010, 02:38:16 AM
I just might get this ^_^

What difference does each union make? Cosmetic(looks, or a minor variation on a quest), or does it actually affect gameplay notably(drops, shops, enemies). If it's cosmetic, or mostly minor gameplay changes, I'm fine with anything.

Anyone notice the Legend of Zelda Triforce related things for the Unions, and their leaders? Link wears Green and has Courage, BRD has Lios who is Green and is for Courage. Ganon/Ganondorf and the DOS leader are both notably Red and are for Power, and WIZ Leader is mostly Pink and is for Wisdom, like Zelda.

Either I looking into it too deeply, or this is a LoZ reference. :V if it's a ref, I like it :) If not, it's kinda funny how it worked out.

[WMG]Or maybe the Cosmic Ark is a result of the Triforce tearing the fabric of reality, creating a Hyrule-influenced pocket dimension. The giant sword in Bladine is in fact, the master sword after lying dormant for thousands of years while drawing technology to itself until it became Bladine, a physical technological god, possibly born from the remains of Gigatron and Unicron and no one even knows it.[/WMG]

But enough of that. Unions don't effect gameplay at all, aside from the fact that Rie Tanaka yells at you when you lose a Union Wars match as a WIZ member.

The story's not that serious unless you're talking about Ivis or such.

Also, when you're playing, do not be a dumbass and make shield wofl. As viable as it is, people will push you into rivers and shoot you until you explode just because of how annoying you are for using it.

It probably seems that way because WIZ has/had far more people than the other unions. Trust me, BRD and DOZ weren't much better. :/

Hey Choja, I think I've seen you in like 3+ matches :) Assuming your Choja in-game :P

I've been doing pretty horribly so far, usually ending a match in the negitives for Score. Yes, even using the Frog Lander strat.

Yes I am! I am also very cocky in-game!

I've been doing pretty horribly so far, usually ending a match in the negitives for Score. Yes, even using the Frog Lander strat.
The main point of the Frog Lander is that you should never have anyone locked onto you; when a red arrow starts flashing onscreen, it's time to walk in the opposite direction of the arrow fast very.

Teamwork is essential when you're doing this (but how much you need depends on how good your team is) because you're trying to kill enemy robots by hitting them with a thousand cuts (or a thousand bullets whatever) and you can't do this when you get stunlocked into explosion due to your low TGH.

Hippos make good distractions.

Thing is, when the enemy can always keep up with me, running is nigh pointless. Also, the Hippo is rare for me to start with.

Any tips for Crimrose useage? Or any FLY types in general for that matter? I get shot down so fasy, and I don't even know what gear to use... btw, my Crimrose is using a Dual Rapier and the starting Energy Gun or the Wide version of it.

Also, how the heck am I supposed to fight when it's 30 vs 30 and nigh-everyone is fighting in the same area!? I can't even get a lock without dying right after/getting blocked by an Ally and hitting them.

You should flank the enemy and shoot them in their blind spot; if you're not doing too much damage, they might focus more on the prominent danger in front of them firing bazooka shells at them.

I actually forgot how to play AIR. Another problem with that is that my best AIR robot is... a Izuna. With Wing AMJs. And a Tengu BS. It's absolute overkill (FLY 29) but all I have is leg homing lasers and handheld beam rifle which both have very low ammo reserves. I aim for anything that gets near me during my flight and because I was stupid enough not to get Quick Boost, I become *very* vulnerable when I occasionally land.

If you're near a giant gunfight and you're playing your Frog Lander, run in (and across the Power Spot if you can), spray and pray. It's very inefficient and very stupid, but hey, there's a lot more deadlier robots than you shooting at the enemy so you might as well attempt to get some shots in.

EDIT: I AM A VERY HORRIBLE PLAYER DON'T LISTEN TO MY ADVICE.

Right now, I use Cannon Baller-Cannon Baller-Destructor

I Just got hold of the game and tried it out in single player to get a feel of things first, seem pretty interesting, I don't suppose I can trouble you guys with a few questions can I? *puppy eyes* You guys have any advice for a newcomer going into the game? And Is there any in-game guild/clan system? Is there a limit to how many various characters you can have? Or do you just have one and it's up for you to outfit him differently?

According to CB official site's FAQ page, they will be wiping player inventories when official service starts. What does it mean? How will it affect the overall gameplay?
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: An Odd Sea Slug on December 22, 2010, 10:13:08 AM
That info is outdated; the wipe has already happened. In fact, we're going directly into official service on or after Thursday.

As for your other questions, just do the in-game tutorials. They'll answer your questions well enough.

Easiest way is Mission Mode Star Cluster EASY, I think, but it might get a bit boring even if soloing.

The maintenance period starts at the stroke of Midnight, around 17 hours from now. Better buy those limited time robots now.

...DOS has a lot of hotheads.
I'm seriously regretting joining it....

If any of you guys go into battle against a fella with the name "BoyTitan", ruin his day for me willya?
He may be in DOS just like me, but DAMN, he's a real ass.

I know I should be better than this, but that guy really bugs me.


Edit 1: Thanks for the advice.
You'll probably find me somewhere near the Cosmos Pot, that's normally where I can be found, or near the mission counter.

Edit 2: But I won't always be on channel 1, I've figured I need to try other channels.

Edit 3; I'll likely be on channel 4, the least-populated one.

And this just in, only new mechs are Rt.

Everything we already now from Pre-official, but post-beta, is exactly the same.
Even the moe mechs are UC still.
there's just some interesting dealies here and there that are Rt.

For example, the Asura AM joint part, which permits 2 arms to be placed instead of 1.
And it's only 50 Rt.

I dunno about you guys, but I'm gunning for a pair of them.

Think about it, 4 Rage Machineguns.
That'd hurt quite a bit wouldn't it?
add in the Full Burst cartridge, and you've got a gamebreaker in the making right there.

Not really- 4 rage machine guns + asura joints would mean your bot is absolute shit for mobility, and by way of using machine guns, will not last long at all. You need to be MOBILE for machine gun use. Furthermore, Drum guns (not drum machinegun) are a better choice than rage machine guns to be honest- more damage per hit and less spread. The opponent will take more damage before the TGH rating kicks in.

Machinegun mechs are a specialty of mine y'know.
Do note that I mentioned the Full Burst cart, which lets you move during all-fire.

And with how I tune(read: build, mod, etc.) things, it won't be a problem for me to maintain my current mobility.
I just gotta get the right parts, and it's off to the races with hefty firepower!
Besides, I gave drum guns a shot, and wasn't all that impressed.

Patience comrade, there's a good chance he'll be released soon.

I can only assume that there were some minor flaws they wanted to correct.
Either that or he's released as a different bot.
Or in a gashapon.

One of the three, take your pick.

The Rt System.
5$ gets ya 50 Rt.

....Which is no different than other MMOs with a cash shop, just scaled down.
And here's the difference between bots from the Garapons/Gashapons, bots bought with Rt, and bots bought with UC.
The Rt bots just have more mod-slots, that's it.
Same goes for the garapons/gashapons.

In summary, the Rt bots aren't much different from the UC bots, just more modslots.
And let's be honest, who uses those very much?
I don't, but because I lack materials.
And plus, what ones I have looked at, have all had a 50% or lower chance.
I ain't risking it, not without catalysts.

Some, like the Asura joint that I mentioned in earlier posts.

But some of them, like zero saber(or so I've heard), aren't worth it.
The only Rt Bot that would be worth it that comes to mind right off would be Toybox.

I mean, it has CRUISE MISSILES.

You clearly haven't been playing this long.

Modslots get used a LOT more than you think. Furthermore, garapon and even regular rt bots tend to have much better starting stats than UC bots, so even You also say all that without taking garapon into account... I'm willing to spend money on the game, but Rt prices are a bit high for my tastes. The main issue I have is garapon though. $4-$20 to roll with a very high chance of no return/getting something completely shit (lolAce Braver and tune-up packs)? No thanks. I'm not spending my hard earned cash for a chance to get something viable. Maybe its because I don't live in Vegas, but I find it too risky. Honestly, the current prices could stay for all I care, but the garapon situation is in dire need of CPR and respiration.

Also, ahahaha, charging $10 for Zero Saber Girl. Cyberstep must think we're all a bunch of idiots with fat wallets.

EDIT: Toybox missiles are TERRIBLE. You're better off with Sturbanger, Destructor or Amateus. Howitzer AMJ missiles are better as well.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Hanzo K. on December 24, 2010, 06:50:46 PM
Well, toybox's missiles are BUILT-IN, that was the main thing that jumped out at me.
Think about it, you could add on the howitzer joints with enough cost ups.
Tack on the snailbot head, or any other head with a weapon, and then you've got a walking armory.
I for one look forward to trying that out, can we say double-wide?

As for the garapons/gashapons, I do agree with you on that.
Those do need to be fixed.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Prody on December 24, 2010, 06:55:48 PM
Sturbanger and Destructor have their missiles built in too, and I can say that they're pretty good, especially Sturbanger's. Never tried Amateus or Toybox before, but Toybox looks pretty cost heavy for its weapons.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Hanzo K. on December 24, 2010, 07:00:56 PM
Well, when one thinks about it, that gives you more room to work with.
Think about it, since it has a 1000+ cost, you could do a little tweaking here, a few parts swaps here...and presto, more weaponry than you can shake a leek at.

Since the missiles are a part of the body itself(barring that my memory hasn't failed me once more), one could feasibly add on the howitzer joints by using the snailbot arms instead of the toybox arms.
sure, your main weapons would take a minor hit, but you'd have firepower to spare.
I would assume that one could apply that to the others, with similar results.

Alternately, asura joints+snailbot arms.
Two words comrades, Big. Kaboom.

Well hyo, we're having a lively debate about artillery mechs.

Good flyers....Well, you might wanna try saving up to 16k UC for an Izuna, I've heard they're decent.
As for rapidfire weapons for flyers.....can't go wrong with a light machinegun, perhaps Nano Machinegun.
Alternately, wide beamgun might work out.
I'd try things out, and experiment, find what suits you.

Post by: anjelloo on December 24, 2010, 11:10:17 PM
Yeah, kinda made this account just to reply but I just felt bad for the people who might be listening to Hanzo about builds. I'm not really trying to attack you nor try to offend you, well kinda, but give you some insight on your understanding of the game mechanics and what's useful or not.

Rage Machine Gun -
First off there is no way you can equip 4 rage machine guns. One RMG is 160 cost and four of them would equal to 640 cost. There is not one bot in this game that has 640 free cost even with all capacity upgrades. Let alone have enough cost to let you equip 4 arms, 2 asura, legs, booster, and a head. As for RMG's effectiveness in battle that differs on the player. But most people won't want to use one because

1) the cost
2) -3 fly
3) bullet damage is not justifiable for the cost and stat loss even with the high rate of fire
4) it really has horrible tracking and just sprays everywhere

Moving Burst Cartridge -
Moving burst does let you fire all your weapon while you're moving BUT it only lasts for 1-2 seconds. Moving burst is horrible for machines guns and are really only useful for burst fire weapons. By burst fire I mean single shot or burst weapons i.e. Bazookas, Magnums, and/or Auto beam rifles. They're next to useless on arts and are mostly only useful for LND or AIR. Lily Rain really is the only ART that benefits from it.

Asuras -
Asuras are very impractical, costly, and really have no use besides trying to fit as many weapons as you can for the lulz. Just because you can have 4 arms doesn't really mean you should.

This build you're thinking of is nothing more than a power spot standing turret cannon fodder for AIR types to run circles on. Well not just AIRs actually, any type of bot that has mobility will probably run circles over you.

Practicality and mobility > 283671826 weapons in this game.

Toybox Cruise Missiles -
By far are one of the worst missiles ever in this game. Let me list the reasons why...

1) Damage is abysmally low.
2) Horrible tracking, or actually the lack of it. It practically just goes straight. It can and will be dodge by anyone who is slightly moving to the left/right. Think of the Millennium Falcon scene on Star Wars. They hardly really ever hit unless you're shooting the power spot.
3) Fire rate is just god damn slow
4) The way it fires. The way it fires is that the missiles get shot out in front of you at ground level then fire off their boosters. This is horrible when it comes to maps with uneven terrain as the missile will just hit that and explode there. You have to find high ground to launch those things.

Yeah it does have a pretty big blast radius but that blast radius really only damage on the 4s range. It doesn't justify the weapon to be actually effective.

All-in-all anything is pretty much better than Toybox cruise missiles. Go with Sturbanger or Destructor as sturbanger has the lowest wlk stats out of all the ARTs.

And I guess I'll just leave it at that...

So I caved and bought 200Rt and dropped all of it into six rolls of the Moe-Gara Machine.

First five rolls were okay (Bomb Launcher, Maril March, Shino Exroad ALPHA, blue ball, Izuna Kamui). And then I went through with the sixth.

It's a silver ball! Awesome! It could be a Medi Aide!

MARIL MARCH.

If you like flying and dodging attacks, pick Crimrose. If you like slow movement but high firepower and range, pick Lily Rain. But if you like melee, pick Jikun Hu.

Well, there's a problem here; I like both playstyles, and know nothing about this game's metagame to determine whether one or the other would be a better choice. :V  From the gameplay vids I've seen, Lily EVE looks like the most interesting bot I've seen.  I also heard something about Crimrose having a Seraph upgrade at level 10; is that cash shop, or in-game money?

Oh, and is the choice I make at the beginning of the game all that vital?  Just wondering if it's impossible to get both Crimrose and Lily Rain, or if choosing one or the other will somehow limit me.

Well, when I started, I picked Jikun Hu, the land type. After, I got a flying type and an artillery type for my commando (your team of 3 bots), but they weren't Lily Rain and Crimrose.
My advice is to pick the one that you like and suits you more, since you're going to get a bot of the other types. If you like them both equally, then I don't know what to say at this point.

EDIT: Too late. You picked Crimrose.

I once was ranked 2nd in a 15vs15 Union Wars battle. I got best supporter and best jammer. Dunno what best jammer means, though.

EDIT: Now that I has 50k UC on my hands, I decided to buy my own Crimrose and Lily Rain. It turns out I absolutely fail at using air types like Crimrose. I like Lily Rain, though. She's faster than I thought she would be. Nice firepower, too. Her move when she shoots those pink bullets reminds me so much of Icicle Fall Easy.

Current commando is Crimrose/Lily Rain/supportunitiforgottenameof.  Not really sure what to do with equips; Lily and Crim both have two wings, I swapped Crim's rapier for a handy laser, and gave the support bot a healing bit.  Aside from that, I've changed nothing and have about 3~4k to blow.

I suck with air-types too, but they're so fun. Know any good laser parts for Crimrose, I tried one, but it requires the user to stop moving, which is annoying.  Got jikun Hu, what a fun bot, nothing like meleeing in a shooting game.

Also, I tried a frog, with a flamethrower(inb4derp.) It was fun, but health is so low, how did sibladeko do it?

Also, is there something I can use as a reference, as the Cosmic Break wiki seems rather barebones.

PvP takes time to get used to and learn how you need to play your bots, ie. how not to body slam into a crowd of enemies, how to camp best with your Artillery unit, how to hit and run a crowd with an air unit, and eh... never played a land unit so I dunno :V But yeah, IMHO, survivability should be the top priority in PvP, the less you die, the slower your team loses, so just learn to TAKE IT EASY and play safe.

I still need to try melee stuff sometime, thought of giving my Izuna Kamui Nagi a rapier but the Blaster + Shield combo works so well for hit and run on big crowds, and she works better just keeping her distance and spam her core ability.

And where the hell are people getting the healing bit/parts? I fail to find any :<
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Wisp on December 25, 2010, 10:06:51 PM
For land types, what I do in PvP is stay with my teammates, shooting at the enemy using a mid-range weapon like the Easy Rifle. If one enemy strays from its teammates, I use melee.
@reVelske, I earn my healing bits from PvP, quests, and missions. IIRC, you can buy healing bits from the shop. I remember seeing some there.

The point of the frog is to use it with stock equips - minus an arm - to give it next to no cost.  You can effectively zergrush with it, and so long as your kdr is better than 0.142 you're helping the team.

Bought a rocket launcher for Crimrose, suddenly I'm helping the team out a lot more already.  Amazing how quickly you can take down other air units as an air mech with rockets; unlike artillery, you can't outfly another air bot. :V

Get spammed with guild requests!? I've never gotten any! Maybe I'm too shit T_T

Unless you are artillery, mobility is the key, just keep moving and stay the FUCK away from anyone who's holding a melee weapon, otherwise just circle around your opponents if you are air or just keep flanking the motherfuckers if you are land, hit them from their blind spots. If you are an artillery, find a good camping spot and cover the battlefield with your love, be sure stay alert and get ready to run the hell away when you sense enemy closing by/trying to flank. And you should periodically check your map to see the flow of the battle and relocate yourself accordingly, nothing worse than accidentally get caught out of position and surrounded.

The above advices are for Arena PvP, Missions/Quests (vs AI) are obviously a lot easier, but the general tactics still apply.

What's everyone equipping their air types with?  I'm not really feeling very effective with any loadout.  Currently have Crimrose equipped with...Wave Beam Gun(I think that's the name, it's the upgraded version of her default weapon)/Small Bazooka, and I win almost every air-to-air with the bazooka, but against anything else she feels weak.  Izuna Kamui has a Beam Rifle/Shotgun, and again I win a lot of air-to-air with the shotgun, but the beam rifle feels weak, and I suck at aiming it.  Had a laser equipped on her for awhile too, but again that felt weak even when I did manage to hit with the full laser.  Tried a rapier on both, but going toe-to-toe with art types doesn't usually end that well and against anything else I'd rather have a second gun.  So I'm not really sure what I should be equipping at this point. :ohdear:
Title: Re: Cosmic Break

I wanted to go melee with Izuna but the idea of having to ground myself just to hurt someone seem stupid for an air unit, it's so much more effective to circle around and shoot them from a distance. I gave my Izuna a Blaster and Viper Shield, the shield is obvious very handy and helps incredibly with survivability, the Blaster is so-so, pretty weak ass and pointless against single target but it can be somewhat useful against a crowd (as it shoots through people), but yeah, very poor burst damage, I use her Tail Wisp attack for proper damage when chasing people down and whatnot.

Though if I want more direct damage, I'd go with a grenade/mini-grenade/etc, then you can just fly overhead your opponents' army and bombard the living hell out of them.

Tail Wisp I use for crowds or far-away/fleeing targets.  It's like both variants of Lily's Trance Skirt; close-range, it's slow and likely to miss.  Haven't tried the shield yet, I might have to give that a shot.

By the way, rapiers are much better while flying than while grounded.  On the ground, you get a single thrust.  In the air, you can follow that up with a flurry of stabs for a good chunk of extra damage.

Oh, also just remembered I was running chakrams for awhile on her too.  Infinite ammo and great damage, but the fact that they can't be aimed vertically or thrown while retreating made them too annoying to use effectively.  Still, it was hilarious to take down arts from medium range as an air type. :V

EDIT: Found this list on another forum:

Quote
UC Weapons:

Short Range:
Handy Laser
Particle Gun / Blaster
Handy Bazooka (anti-air)

Mid-Range:
Pulse Gun
Beam Gun
Wide Beam Gun

Long Range:
Musket
Izuna Kamui Nagi: Legs
Time to ditch the beam rifle.  Maybe I'll give it to Lily or I could give it to Crim alongside her bazooka and truly live up to the name Suguri

Handy Laser's been fun to use with Crim. Is there anything the flamethrower is good for? It seems to have a rather bad range and when I'm at that range, I'm better off just meleeing.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: reVelske on December 26, 2010, 11:13:12 PM
well the flamethrowers are there just to put burn status on people, not to outright beat someone into submission.

EDIT: Just gave Dual-Rapier to Izuna and took her for a test drive in Arena, good heavens, it's RIDICULOUSLY hard to aim, and unlike land units, it's hard to follow up even if you do land the hit since you need to lift yourself off first. Gonna give it a few more tries and switching back to Blaster or Mini Bazooka if it doesn't work out.

EDITEDIT: That's it, I give up, it's bad enough that you have to flank all your opponents just to get to those camping artillery units to chop up, then when you do your multi-thrust special you will inevitably get yourself grounded and get pounded by the gazillion reinforcement that comes, and it's hard to aim the rapier from air, so yeah, it's back to Blaster for me.

I didn't mean that you should actively try to flank with a rapier.  It's not easy to use, but it's saved my ass in 1v1 when I've flown around a corner and come face-to-face with a bot that wasn't on the radar.  I've managed to win air-vs-air fights with it too, though I'd attribute that more to a lack of skill on my opponent's part for not dodging the initial strike.

@Esoterica: Well the effectiveness against non-Art units seem quite pitiful, and again, being difficult to follow-up (of course, that may very well just be me being noob) makes it a whole lot less charming in my eyes, and to me, melee rely a lot on the fact that you can turn around and re-initiate a combo after your opponent is slightly stunned and disoriented from the first attack.

Gonna be keeping the Rapier for Haku fights though...

I just bought the level 5 and 8 limit breaks yesterday. :derp:

Also, bought a Tesladonna, ripped her arms off, and threw them on Izuna.  I get kind of bored with the setup and the range sucks for everything that isn't tail wisps, but the tesla coils are like unnerfed lasers and their melee attack is sexy too.  I might keep one and replace the other with something like a plasma gun or viper shield.

It's her other sub weapon.  Shift + click to switch.  You can't fire them without a lock-on either, but they have rridiculous range so that shouldn't be a problem.

Leveled up and got Jikun Long as a reward. I'm sticking with Jikun Hu, though. He's faster and stronger than my Jikun Long, and I need that speed and strength for my "get in, do damage, get out" strategies.

EDIT: Gave Jikun Long a try and liked her. Dunno who to pick, though. Hu has more STR and TEC, but Long has more FLY, TGH, and TEC.

EDIT2: Jikun Hu it is. Heard some people say Long's range is pretty bad, and I use range a LOT in Union Wars.

Post by: hyorinryu on December 28, 2010, 05:29:36 PM
Did you customize either?
Weird the wiki says their Wlk is the same, with Hu sporting better strength and technique, while Long is better for flight and toughness.

EDIT: Turns out Long was faster because I gave her a cutter while I gave Hu a long sword. I think I'll stick with Long, as she seems to all for more screwups.

Also, Nanomachine gun is the greatest. Works with Crimmy, Long, Winberrl...its SS restriction is the only reason Guile's theme doesn't play whenever I run my cursor over it.

Was doing the Mate request for leveling a bot to lvl.6, only realize afterwards that lvl.6 bots can't enter arena (unless I'm missing something), rather upset actually now that my Izuna has been benched (who has been doing really well in Arena, managing to not die at all most of the time whilst picking up a few good kills) and forcing me to take Winberrl out of the reserves.

So I'm guessing lvl.6+ bots are just good for epoch war/mission/quest?
Title: Re: Cosmic Break

That can't be right.  Crim needs level 10 before becoming Seraph Crim, there's no way they expect you to do that outside arena.  Maybe it's just unable to enter E-rank ones or something?

I dunno, I did my level up whilst queued for an arena, and it refused to let me in because of my lvl.6 Izuna, all entries on the arena list were also marked "lvl.5 or below" (unless I'm going senile), will check again later when I log on to make sure.

My Jikun Hu is equipped with an accelerated gun and a metal slayer.

11 FLY
7 TGH

My Jikun Long is currently equipped with an easy rifle and a long sword.
19 STR

10 FLY
10 TGH

Dunno why my Long has more TEC than my Hu, but I plan on equipping Long with an accelerated gun and metal slayer when she gets enough cost. For now, using Jikun Hu.

You should pay more attention to updates; they've added rooms where bots level 6 and up are restricted to give lesser players a chance.

That can't be right.  Crim needs level 10 before becoming Seraph Crim, there's no way they expect you to do that outside arena.  Maybe it's just unable to enter E-rank ones or something?

Actually, you can do it at level 8- people just wait until 10 to maximize cost capacity.

Now using Amateus-Sturbanger-Destructor combo. I get game warrior 1 out of every 3 games I play. Arts deal the most DPS now, have to quickly have my fun before Ivis comes along.

Amateus and Destructor are pretty great. Stur is going to have it tough when tuned up airs with air loop/accela roll though. Also, don't worry about Ivis; she's available at only temporary times. That combined with the re-fucking-diculous garapon prices means that even when she does come back there won't be anywhere near as many.

Well, I've been playing as both Jikun Hu and Jikun Long, liking them both equally. Hu for his WLK, TEC, higher HP and cost capacity. Long for her FLY, TGH, and the fact that she's female and says "gomen ne" whenever she kills someone.
So, what do you guys think? Should I use Jikun Hu, Jikun Long, or both?

Bought a Negatron Rifle for Izuna Kamui now that she can equip it.

Dear Lord.

The only reason you'd ever want another weapon ever is either to troll or as a dedicated tree killer to save ammo.  This thing is way too damn beastly, and you're not going  to see it on most other air types because it's large-size only.  For damage reference, this thing downs cacti in two shots.  The range and speed are ridiculous too, and if you get hyper shot at any point, things will die.  I equipped her with a rapier as her other weapon just for aesthetics.

So, what do you guys think? Should I use Jikun Hu, Jikun Long, or both?
I like Long, pretty much the only ground unit I have fun with.  Haven't tried Hu though.

Negatron Rifle? Gotta try that, I've given up on Mini Bazooka due to a slight range issue, still have to give Twin-Blaster some try and see if the reduction in ammo compare to Blaster will affect her all that much, Beam Machinegun is nice still but... yeah, I'd like to see what other options there are.

And yeah, I was being senile about the arena thing with lvl.6+, there are specific rooms for them it seems, maybe I'm getting too old for this shit.

And just got my Haku staff/sword after my third successful 3*Haku run, loving it. Now I just need to level up a Land to give this sword to :V

So, I assume most of you here know just how annoying it is to do Haku runs with people who has no idea, so, mind if I add some of you on friends so we can call on each other for runs?

I haven't done a Haku run at all yet, so I wouldn't know what to do either (though I know about the lolnuke).  I want that staff though. D:

The point of the mini bazooka is to use it in close range, particularly in air-to-air fights.  If you want a general-purpose air weapon, I'd recommend the Wide Beam Gun or - if you can equip it - the Plasma Gun.  Both have decent DPS and range and are easy to work with.  For close range, I like the Particle Gun; I'm fairly certain it's one of the highest-dps options at close range, and it has loads of ammo too (1400!).  Lasers are still decent too imo thanks to being undodgeable as long as you can track the opponent, but if you're going that route I'd recommend a tesladonna arm for more damage and range as well as that sexy triple-chakram melee.

Also: Black hair or pink hair for seraph?

Btw, this game needs player shops or marketplaces. I need parts so I can upgrade my weapons and stuff.

Best thing I can think of that fits that description is the negatron rifle, but I'm not sure if that's equippable by land units, and if it is it's probably too big for the Jikuns.  Though I haven't tried it yet, bazookas seem like they'd be great for land units; use melee on anything grounded, and blast airs (your weakness) with rockets.

Got a Lazflamme LOUD last night, who I recolored to regular colors and named EX-Lazflamme.  Using her over Jikun Long now purely because her cost is in the 400s atm and the underboob may be a contributing factor too.

I gave Jikun Long one of those shotgun beam things, it works okay. What do you guys use for Crim? I usually go nano/lance or bazooka/lance. Just got her to level 5.
Think they'll add Seraph-type power-ups for other bots? Maybe a Lily Seraph or a Laz Seraph?
Speaking of which, how many times have you seen people use Laz? I see tons of Crims and Lilies, but no Laz. When it comes to Lands, I usually see Jikuns.

My level 7 crim's got a wide beam gun/bazooka.  Though I'm reluctant to admit it to even myself, she does so much better than any of my other mechs with that loadout.  Going to give her Izuna legs at some point for tail wisps + medium size, and have been toying around with the idea of giving her Tesladonna legs right now (though the kick seems rather meh and tesla's parts have horrid stats).

They didn't have any other seraphs in beta, so I doubt it.  Seraph Laz might be a possibility since they have similar stats, but I can't even imagine how brutally a Seraph Lily would rape everything.

I myself just switched to Laz Loud from Jikun Long.  I haven't noticed much of a change in performance, except Laz has about half the cost.  She still only has her default weps though, not sure what else to give her.

Uh, I was under the impression we did; Choja mentioned it a bit on pages 2 and 3.  Would that be the clan with the Byakuren icon?

If you decide to walk into THREE STAR RESTAURANT (my room name for highest difficulty Haku) and I'm not confident in your setup, I will kick you out.

Do note that defeating three star Demonwolf Haku gives you ~2000 EXP per robot (which can add together and allocate to another robot if your other robots have full exp) and also everyone gets the same drops after victory, but if you fail, you get NOTHING.

I don't like spending ~20 minutes to get punched in the face ok

I generally ask around if everyone know strat, been nice enough to take a few newbies on a run and take them through the strats. But yeah, worst is when they don't admit to being utterly clueless but comes along anyway and either get completely lost on route or just feed the Haku. And then you have people with the right equips, know the strat, but simply waste precious time by not evading attacks that should be evaded and kept dying to silly things.

Title: Re: Cosmic Break

Just had two fail 3-star runs in a row.  First one, two of the people had just started playing, one using an art and the other a jikun with handguns.  The second one, two people were impatient fucks and left a split-second before we found the fifth treasure, then everyone else bailed too.

I'm definitely going to be more cautious about who I do these runs with now.

Also, would it be a terrible idea to use, say, a Duel Rapier or Tesla Arms instead of a 3-way against Haku if using an air type?  Those things don't aim well midair.

(which can add together and allocate to another robot if your other robots have full exp)
Wait, this works?  If I pack my level 5 Lily Rain and Izuna, my Crim will be getting 6000 exp per run?  Oh man, I might get Seraph tonight then.

Straight to 3-star Haku.  Which, honestly, I don't think seems all that hard.  As long as you equip a melee weapon and know when not to rush him with it, it seems like an easy fight.

Arcantus is good if you have nothing better to do, you'll get quite a lot of WBs, robot parts and tune up mats from it, just make sure you use up all your ammo before heading into the next area, and try get as much power ups early as possible. Also, you can consider killing off two out of three bots of yours before heading into Outpost just to maximize the benefit.

Do you get anything special for beating Berzelius (like Haku's staff-sword thing)? Doesn't feel like I got anything cool, maybe I should check.

You can allegedly get a Stardust Cannon, though I haven't seen one drop yet.

EDIT: Oh man, 1.5k exp for a 10-min run against 1-star Berzelius?  Definitely doing this one a lot more.

Fortunately it doesn't take too long to figure out.  I've got the path down for both 1 and 2 star runs now.

Also Kamui Staff rapes him so badly it's funny.  After he lands the second time I can just go Ivis-mode on him and get  him to fly off to the next area without getting hit :V

EDIT: Level 9 Crim, 70k UC.  Seraph promotion's on the horizon.

I was in a Haku Run once, my 1st run, soon as I saw form 10, I called it Ran. I have called it Ran everytime onward. for the record, Berzelius is Hibachi :P

If any of you see a ShinkuTear, thats me :D I'm currently trying out Shino Exroad, Jikun Long and Lily Rain to see how they are :3

BTW, if I can, I'll friend request Choja to get in Maidens :D I plan on doing Ran-runs for levels, and SquidTentacle is even joining in :D

Do you mean getting through the stage portion, or tracking him when he moves?  Right now, for 1-star he moves to the northeast corner at about 30% HP.  For 2-star, I'm not sure if he has a set pattern; he seems to go southeast then northeast, but last time I fought him he went center then northeast.  Haven't fought him on 3-star.  If you're talking stages though, the blue gate is right next to the spawn in every stage except the second and third one.

For 3*, after the first time, he goes into the lake(take the 2nd most right path I believe.) Then he moves back,(I think not sure about this, he moves SW.) After that, you finish him on that elevated arena.

I am going to rip your face off :|  Winberryl is like an art with suction that can heal you on the side.  Plus that bind trap is god tier against spamming jikuns.

Also chibis trip, which incapacitates you for like 10 seconds if it happens.

Bleh, I honestly hate Wiberyl's, they are just raep waiting to happen when someone else uses them, and when I use them it's just a death.

IIRC, isn't the Trip an attack? As in you can trigger it? Even if it's random, it's not like it'll get you killed if you have smart allies, and if you don't, your going to die no matter what.

You either stay behind everything like a regular support and heal when necessary, or you play her like an art.  She's best against airs and arts, since she can pull them out of the air/bring them into close range; if you don't kill them, they'll be in a terrible position to escape.  Don't try M1+M2 against something like a Jikun with her though, you're just bringing them into melee faster (unless you're dual wielding particle guns or some other absurdly powerful beam weapon, then you can go ahead and try to kill them).

I think I remember someone saying in-game that Medibot or whatever it's named (it's a support  bot in the shop IIRC) has unlimited repair bits.  If so, that's probably the best choice for a pure support unit.

You can trigger the trip manually, but it also happens randomly, and I heard it happens any time you try to melee with a chibi.

Post by: reVelske on December 31, 2010, 06:00:25 PM
Winberrls are just trolls, and they are fairly easy to troll with once you've figured out what you need to do. Get two machineguns (rage machinegun/beam machinegun work pretty work, Beam Machinegun especially if you can get it, since you are Land units' worst nightmare), hide behind a rock on the backline, poke your head out every now and then and fire ALL weapons at whichever unfortunate soul you see in the battlefield (even easier if they are Jikuns ramboing into your side's defense trying to cause havoc), drag him to you and friends, release bind, cancel and riddle the bastard with bullets, rince and repeat. Most important thing is not to be on your own and not to be on the front line, you do NOT want to be eating bullets whilst trolling.

EDIT: ^ Oh? Well, honestly, their pull+bind combo work pretty well on all three types, but Art seem a lot more resistant to the stun than the other two, and besides, you won't find much Arts to pull on the front line. Air are just so much harder to actually aim at, unless it's an inexperienced Air that runs out of gas in the middle of the opponent's defense :V As for Jikuns, I've yet to see one that managed to melee out of the pull+bind, they are way too stunned to get out of the mess everytime I've trolled them.

Medi Aide is one of the only two robots (the other is High Priestol Q, but that robot is made of dumb) who has the level-up cartridgeGrowing Wonder which allows the robot to steadily fill their WB gauge over time. Medi Aide also has Tough Wonder Bit (raises the HP of your Wonder Bit) and Wonder Rate Up (increases the gain of WB gauge when the robot is damage), so she essentially becomes a walking hospital.

If you have money to spare and you've got Medi Aide, buy a Winberryl and take off her arms, then put it on Medi Aide. Suddenly, you've got the best repair robot in the game.

Also, I want Medi Aide. I will spend another $20 to get six more tries in Moe Gara and probably fail all of them.

The difference is though, froglanders and beezles have arms and legs.  There is no customization whatsoever for a Cannonballer; all its weapons are built into the core, and it doesn't have arms, meaning what you see is what you get.

Also, reVelske and I were talking in-game, when it occurred to us that Thoarla is a large air type, and thus capable of using a Stardust Cannon.  Her core ability also has 45 force.

Why would you Melee with a Chbi anyway? I always see Chibi's with a Beam-type weapon, like Beam Gun Mod or Wide Beam Gun.

Isn't Aide-bot or w/e a Mech though? As in an actual machine in comparison to the human-like bots, such as Lily, Laz, Wiberyl and the Chibi's? I can't stand the mechs, too generic seeming, aside from Frog Lander :P

There's zero reason to melee with a chibi.  Trying to would probably result in tripping.  I'd probably give a chibi a musket for ranged combat, and a particle gun for close range.

And no, this is Medi  Aide:

She has high Tgh and Fly, which make provide for solid defense and evasiveness as well as allowing her to easily reach injured teammates.  She has every wonder bit cartridge possibly available (that I'm aware of), including the near-exclusive ability  to have a wonder bit regenerate without having to do anything at all.  Decent HP too, and she can resist being pushed around.  Basically, the ultimate healer.

The only bot I'm aware of that has any sort of healing bit as a default is Priestol Q, and it's a mini so it's still relatively worthless.  Sadly, if you want repair bits, the only option is to farm them.

EDIT: Also, learned about Burst Fire Bits today.  I heard the minis only add hyper shot, which makes me wonder what the full size ones do.

FAKE EDIT: Does anyone know how Misty Hollow's bullet invuln ability works?  If it really only wears off after either a certain duration or when melee'd, I'm strongly considering buying her just so I can solo 3-star Haku whenever I want.

FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU


Don't feel so bad Odda, at least it was only $3, and it was spent on a slot protector, so you can still try it again another time.
Just need the materials.

Be thankful you didn't spend $10 on it and have all the tries fail.
Better to lose $3 instead of $10 as I sometimes say.
And the Rt will hopefully be repriced in the future.
In the meantime, I've found some tunes that work great as gaming aids to listen to while playing.

If you play a zippy Real Type kinda bot, then this might just work.
Blue Comet SPT Layzner: Lonely Way ~ Like Melos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzu4WShwZJo&feature=related)
Doubly so if you use a mix of melee and ranged, and one of your ranged is a beam type.
Crimrose in particular fits this tune, especially if you color her blue, just like the Layzner.
V-MAX Crimrose anyone?

For the Zippy (almost)Melee-only pilots among us, anything from Tekkaman will suffice, Eternal Loneliness and the SRW J/W/K versions of Reason and Masquerade are notable.

And Finally, for those of us who made sure to have a LND-AIR-ART team, only this will do.
Getter Robo Armageddon's second OP, HEATS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wob41XQ-60A&feature=related)!
Of course, the LND is obviously the strongest of the 3.  :]
Due to being the Getter-1 analogy.

^ what? Surely Getter 2 is LND? Unless you are talking about Neo Getter of course. Even SRW gives Getter 1 a B rating on land :V

As for tunes, seems like any JAM Project songs go well with the game (go figure).

-Look at 3 Guardian's Mate, see that I have to do a tune-up.

-Get to Cosmos Pot and realize 'hey, a smashing opportunity to add +2 FLY to my Amateus for only +15 cost!'
Um, you know you had to do the tuneup with the proto cosmos they give you, which also gives you a 100% success rate, right? :ohdear:

Well, I was going by general Getter rules.
The big slow one is always Getter 3, and most Art Types are big and slow.
The streamlined one is always Getter 2, and most Fly are like that.
And the All-Around one is always Getter 1, and most Lands are like that.

And I left JAM Project unmentioned because I figured folks already knew about it.  :V

Slightly Off-Topic: I'm slightly bugged at how Getter's been in practically every SRW up to J, where it suddenly goes missing, only to return in the following ones sporadically.

Gimme a few moments, looking for a better sig.

Btw, doing pretty good with an accelerated gun and lance with Jikun Hu. Also got him to lv6 and gave it the "sway" dash action. Not sure what it's really good for, maybe for dodging and closing in on enemies. Also thinking of giving Winberrl two guns instead of that easy rifle and knife.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: reVelske on January 04, 2011, 07:18:08 PM
I got sway on my trollberrl, apparently it has some good invulnerability frames, I have yet to really see that in action though :S I THINK it gives Winberrl a bit faster ground movement than normal dash or run, but I'm not so sure if that'd be the case with Jikuns or any other LND units with decent WLK.

And double Rage Machinegun/Beam Machinegun on trollberrl is the only way!

Gave Jikun Hu a little grenade, somehow doing much more damage and killing a few more enemies than the accelerated gun. Probably because it sometimes gives the burning effect.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: An Odd Sea Slug on January 05, 2011, 01:10:23 AM
Little Grenade does not give burning effect, only regular grenade does that. Fast LND types are actually better off with 'nades than ART types, because 'nades are slow (requiring getting closer for a better shot at hitting) and a LND is usually going to be in people's faces anyway.

I seem to get disconnected from the server a lot recently, if not DC, I just lag like hell from time to time. Really sucks when you are in the middle of Arcantus, and DC/lag in there usually results in death and wasted time. Sometimes my game lags/freezes up at the oddest places, eg. after pressing Finish Customization in garage, oh at the end of Arena/Quest zone when you press "To Lobby". It's starting to get really annoying and I KNOW it's not my connection acting up.

I've come to the conclusion that I have no idea how to continue leveling up C.S.  Many of her cartridges are either useless (Moving Burst would be great on anything else...) or incredibly vague (enhancing CS Explosion could either be really pointless or really awesome depending on how it scales with upgrades).  I guess I'm leaving her at level 4 until I get it figured out.

Probably neither, unless you're questing.  Beam machineguns are pretty great for arcantus, but I haven't found them too useful for anything else.

If I had to choose one I'd probably say stick it on beryl, since her drawguns compensate for the range and it gives her less trouble with land types.  Crim needs to get too close to make it worthwhile.

The lag is worst it's ever been for me. I was doing the Haku quest and by the time I got to the entrance, people were on areas 4-6. Then several times I would try to use the gate and it wouldn't work, forcing me to restart. Then when I used the gate, I would wait 10 secs, then randomly take a bunch of damage and appear at the next part. I couldn't make it in time for the boss. I was 2-3 stages away. If you ask I'm usually one of the first people there.

So basicly WIZ is losing in epoch but they have more players. Thus why fight BRD and put effrot into earning their points that way. When they can just spam shuffle and get points for participating and not actually putting any effort into getting those points. That's why players like koi want all the WIZ players to not fight BRD but to just go shuffle rooms. Because they are garunteed mass point gains every game with no effort at all.

Btw, my team often loses when I'm in a WIZ vs BRD match. Dunno how they do it, but WIZ manages to stay in first place.
It's a combination of shuffle matches (where individuals can reward the faction instead of having their work masked by 14 other baddies) and us finally kicking the "BRD SPIEZ OHEMGEE" out of epoch. :V

I've got to ask. How many Haku attempts did it take you guys to get the Kamui staff. I've beat him at least 10 times by now and all I've got to show for it is a blank staff(all attempts were 3*.)

Also, dumped a good 16k UC in Garapon and the only gold prize I have is a mini Lily White.

I gave my Jikun two armor breakers and started using him for sniping. If I fire both of his armor breakers I can do 50 damage or more. Now I place more often in the top 10 in union wars matches. I tried sniping with my Lily Rain, didn't do so well, dunno why. Didn't try sniping with trollberrl yet, though.

Also, you can use UC in the Garapon? Didn't know that. Oh well. Off to play some more~

First attempt for me, but I got extremely lucky.  It took me about 100 berz runs for a stardust cannon, and I still haven't even found a scout rifle from him.

So, I named my Jikun "Your Face," my Winberrl "Trollberrl," and my Lily "This is a pen."

I keep getting them confused all the time. I wonder if there's a skin for that yet. What's so great about the stardust cannon and scout rifle anyway. Do they look anywhere as cool as the Haku staff?

Don't worry about that. You're just being paranoid. I haven't given any names, though. Might name my frogger derplander, but that's it. All the fun seems to be in descriptions.

Stardust cannon is a laser cannon that functions pretty much like an LL-size laser bazooka for airs.  In short, you basically become a flying art with one equipped. :V  Scout rifles are, as far as I'm aware, rapid-fire versions of the regular rifle.  More dakka, etc.

And unlike the Kamui Staff, they're actually useful. :getdown:

No matter how much you love your Halberd, Kamui still has, IMHO, the largest AoE of all the melee weapons I've seen. You should put it on your Squealer and take him for a test drive at enemy PS whilst people are huddling around for some healing.

And yeah, annoying flashing blue lights, ooooh I'm just happily flying around harassing people, oooooh there's that guy over there charging up some cann-*BOOM* ow!

And what's up with those cannon that shoots and creates a big purple sphere?

But still, nothing is more annoying than Oukas. Them god damn perma-stunlock! *foams* Jikuns got NOTHING on them and they make trollberrls look like niceberrls, think I should call them Troullka from now on.

Because there is always one hiding somewhere when my Izuna either land to recharge Boost (even at what seems to be the safest places) or get shotdown, then they'd pop out of nowhere, stunlock you till you are dead or ran away with most of your limbs and health missing. They love me. They are always there for me. They will never give me up. They will never let me down. They will never turn around and not hurt me. Hell, I can't even do SURPRISE-SLAYER-BIT-SUICIDE-DIVE-ON-YOUR-ARTS'-BEHINDS-MOTHERFUCKERS anymore with my Izuna, because THERE IS ALWAYS AT LEAST ONE OUKA. THERE. WAITING. FOR ME.

And they stunlock my Squealer whilst I tear shit up, hell, "high TGH? FUCK YOUR TGH I DON'T CARE I'LL STUNLOCK YOU LIKE THE LITTLE A.MAID YOU ARE." Machineguns and vulcans? Pfft, I can tank those. Trollberrls? I'll slice their head off whilst they have me bound. But Oukas? Oh look I'm stunlocked again guess I should just stop frankly smashing my keyboard foolishly hoping I can actually escape that crap.

For arts, Destructor's about as good as it gets for LOL MISSILE RAPE.  Try Destructor CN with Misside AM holding Box Missiles, your opinion will change very, very quickly.

Almost every art that isn't mecha musume has at least one part with integrated missiles or bazookas, though.

How to make an instant melee build.

1. Remove bot's arms
2. Add two Ace Braver arms
3. Play as normal, but whenever someone comes near you, right click
4. ???
5. You know the rest.

Also, Arcantus drop parts make tuning with UC-only relatively easy, imo.  The only things I worry about bombing a tune on are my one set of 3-slot laz legs (because my 2-slot legs somehow vanished completely), and irreplaceable parts with specific functions like Winberyl AM and Tesladonna AM3.  Anything without an integrated weapon can pretty much be replaced by any 2-slot arcantus drop, though.

I noticed that this thread was getting big so I decided to give the game a try since it's free to play. This game is pretty fun. I chose Lily Rain as my first mech, but since I was doing better with the machine gun rather than her artillery I decided to buy Crimrose and Shino Exroad. I'm fight better with those two. Though I want to know what's the difference between the three Unions. They say join if you have the courage/wisdom/power but they never mention if there are any benefits for joining their Union.

Well, those numbers are gradually filling with terrible players and idlers from other unions that are costing us epoch battles and union wars, so that's been changing lately; BRD won two weeks ago, for example. (fortunately Snowflake and Hotglue have been stacking epoch and votekicking baddies, so we're making a comeback~)

I'm pretty sure you can only use one catalyst to begin with; the second slot is for slot protectors.  Though, I guess I haven't tried to combine them otherwise...

There are no specific union benefits.  The only things it affects is which union you play for in union wars/epoch, what clans you can join (same union only), and what "base" you get to go in (#1 reason not to pick DOS).

is there a MotK clan?

I'll be honest, BRD definitely does have some scary players.  If we see certain names popping up at epoch on BRD's side, we stack against DOS instead.

At the top of the top though, the best from BRD and the best from WIZ are pretty even from what I've seen.

Shame the UC Koko lacks slots :c  Chibi Crim is probably the best chibi, hyper shot circles are insane and you can tune her TEC or FLY past 30.  A 30+ tec chibi with plasma gun and hyper shot not only hurts you badly, they're near-impossible to hit back because they're so small.

I tried to experiment to find an alternative to 3-ways...btw who's Raiko? They should have a punching bag type thing so you can test this stuff out.
Also, I'm looking for Midoro Cosmos and Drum Magazines. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

I was hoping you wouldn't say that, Arcantus is so boring. Combing 3 levels took more than hour and a half. I wonder though, if I could get to the point I want, leave via the home portal, use a drop ticket, and then come back. That, combined with an Arcantus drop guide wouldn't be so bad.

Yeah you can do that, though I doubt there's an arcantus drop guide, a lot of the monsters have a chance to drop their own parts (eg. Blocky drops his own BD), but nothing fixed aside from that AFAIK. I've just did a complete Arcantus tour two days ago and I've noticed how the coloured chips were only really dropping in the first couple of zones whilst the later dropped the non-chip tune-up parts. It could've just been a matter of luck though.

Well, I suppose the later the zones the higher the chance of them Cosmos showing up from what I've seen, and maybe the rarity of the different grades of cosmos also matter, but *shrugs* who knows, I've found an Ones Cosmos near the end of Arcantus (around Area 130-143), even random crap like A.Maid and Red Squealer parts, so... *shrugs* who knows.

There's a couple of bugs that I really found annoying(I think these are bugs). Whenever I fire missiles when flying backwards, my robot flies forwards and I can't control it. By the time I regain control I run out of boost and land right in the middle of all my opponents. The chibi's magic circle ability shares it's cooldown with melee weapon, so I have to wait like 10 seconds to use a melee weapon after using the magic circle. And life bars are deceiving, they stay full as long as they have above 200HP(maybe a bit more or less). So if I start whailing on someone, I can't tell if I'm actually doing damage and I can't tell what would be the best robot to kill first.

On another note, I hate Ouka. What are the best weapons to counter her?

Stardust cannon? The bitch is way too fast, you have to align yourself correctly or simply get lucky if you wish to hit her with anything like Limited Beam Gun or Beam Rifle, so AoE is your best bet I guess. But honestly, unless you are an air, don't bother, just run.

Hell, run anyways even if you are an Air, seeing how they will miraculously pop out of nowhere when you land with your Air.

EDIT: Just had another two games where Ouka popped out of nowhere AS I LAND. WHEN THE ENTIRE AREA LOOKED PERFECTLY CLEAR. IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

I was able to somehow kite an Ouka as Land with Shino Exroad who has 27 walk and deal a lot of damage with my Rage Machinegun. That was until my arm was destroyed, I'm not sure if Ouka destroys arms or not, but most of the time my arms are destroyed there's an Ouka nearby and I can't tell if it was her since she moves so fast.

Aside from the latter (and that's probably intentional too), none of the rest of those are bugs.  Sub weapons share cooldowns, and certain weapons (it'd really depend on the missile in question) affect your flight when used in the air.

The strongest weapon against Ouka is the spacebar.  Seriously.  She's cursed with the fact that her midair melee instantly drops you to the ground, and her projectile is absolute ass (especially if the person's been tuning str and sacrificing tec).  I've seen Amateus and Saggi players jump up and nova/railgun her in the face and walk away with barely a scratch, and I've taken out Oukas the same way with a Lily.  If you're looking for specific weapons, there's a whole slew of them:

Any beam weapon - x1.4 damage multiplier
Beam Rifle - Good range, pierces her shoulder shield
Blaster - Punishes her for getting in her effective range, pierces her shoulder shield
Breakers - High damage is likely to stun her due to low tgh, splash ensures you don't need to aim perfectly if she's zigzagging with boost run, has great range so you can take her out at range too
Elecguns of all varieties - x1.4 damage multiplier, high stun rate.  I've stood still and stunlocked Oukas with my Tesla's AM2 doing this before.
Lasers - x1.4 damage multiplier, hits where you aim.  The only way she can dodge is by running faster than you can aim.
Grenades - Causes burning, completely destroying her turn radius and making defeating her as easy as stepping to the side and shooting her in the face
Burners - See above.
Volcano Grenades - See above, to a more serious degree.
Jupitizer - Won't really work unless she's either attacking something else, stunned, or in water, but it's hilarious if you catch her with it :3
Any weapon with a slow tune - She's useless if she can't move.
Any weapon with a stun tune - See above.
Any weapon with a burn tune -  See grenades/burners.
40 WLK (or 20 WLK + Boost Run) - She can't hurt you if she can't catch you.
NOT C.S. Explosion - She can just turn her shoulder to you to block it :c

EDIT: Oh, and if you can get 35 Rt for a Bugsycait, you can render Ouka completely unable to do anything.  Elecshields disable melee on contact. :>

That's what I do. So far, I've only done weapons and low cost bot stuff. The problem is that all the tunes I want need that Midoro Cosmos and I don't feel like hunting for an hour only to turn up with nothing. I could only try with copies, but the problem is that the copies aren't the thing I want to use for whatever reason(cost, said part sucks, etc.)

I was thinking of making a suggestion for a garapon for making tune ups. One catagories are the misc. tune up parts, another can be the chips, the common cosmos could be silver, and the rarer ones can be gold. Maybe throw in an Rt catalyer/slot protector for platinum, but that's asking for a bit much. Maybe 300 UC for 1 roll and 1k UC for 5. The original idea was to break up the UC garapon so that people don't have to dump 70k for a Koko Gaap without slots and end up with just about nothing(this doesn't give them money, so I figure it won't be so bad.)
Also ask for stuff in Crim's shop to be cheaper, non-cosmos stuff cost way too much, especially when 90% of tunes need at least 5 of them, and I'm talking the stuff with a 40% rate of success.

Unrelated, I fell in love with Maril March today.  I also fell in love with volcano grenades and their magical ability to rape all types.  Beat a Seraph, Jikun, and Saggi each in 1v1 with a volcano grenade and maril am2 (or just x2 volcano grenades), and showered a crowd huddled under a repair bit too.

Since I'm using Maril March Trill, I have AM3 instead. That one is weaker but shoots faster, it still has saved me from meleeing land bots several times.

And a few questions, was does the INT stats do on weapons?  There's no info on that stat in the website. And what does the sway action do? I gave that to one of my robots and I didn't notice any difference in the dash.

Post by: reVelske on January 25, 2011, 06:36:33 PM
Int is interval, ie. how much delay is there between shots, so the lower the better.

Sway is... well I dunno, "nigh useless" is about all I can think of to describe it :V It's a replacement for your standard dash action, it's quicker than dash, faster recovery but shorter distanced (not 100% sure about this, but it feels like it), you don't drift along in sway like you do in dash, it's basically a dash that gives you better control of your movement, and there's is a very short invulnerability time at the startup which you can potentially learn and use to dodge missiles with. The benefit of this isn't worth the cost at all TBH, rather go with Short Boost if you want something to dodge with or Boost Run/Float Dash for better movement.

If you junk a bot with locked parts, those parts stay with the core.  Moreover, any tuneups on locked parts  - successful or failed - will be reset upon being junked, too.  This is part of the appeal to bots like Mecha Jetter Girl; you don't need to waste RT on slot protectors and high-end catalyzers, because you can just junk her to reset everything.

I wouldn't mind this change, but that's mostly because my region has no free Rt offers at all. But if CS must add a way to get free Rt, it should be something you have to work for in-game instead of just doing some silly surveys. Maybe a weekly challenge that's difficult enough that people won't be able to do it in multiple accounts.

Though I want to know how much Rt I would have gotten if I lived in a region that has those free offers. How much do those survey give and how many surveys are there?

A single Rt from the Garapon isn't worth it, gold balls are too rare and there's 6 other items you can get from those balls. Especially when most people can get almost 50 Rt from surveys. The only reason I would keep rolling the UC Garapon is to get Mini Lily and School Lily, I already have every other item including 3 Sailor Crim, 2 mini Crim, and 2 Kokos(the damn Garapon hates me). Though I'll probably stop rolling and wait until the bazaar is implemented and trade my spare minis for the Lilys.

yeah just realized now as well that the Rt Charge is only for 1Rt, so it's not very useful.

I'd love to be able to roll UC Garapon again, but UC has been so tight lately, just finished the UC farm for Limit remover 5 -> Limit remover 8 -> Seraph Crimrose (175k UC...), a Shino Exroad so I can rip her legs off for my Red Squealer (35k UC), now I need to push out another 30k UC for Ettion so I can rip the head off for Squealer, 65k UC for Cosmo Kaiser so I can rip head off for Destructor and BS for Squealer/Shino legs, even more Cosmo Kaiser if its parts aren't sold for UC, and I have Squealer and Seraph waiting for their level.5 remover, lily waiting for a level.8 remover, etc etc.

Well hopefully with the removers included in the Login Campaign, less farming will be required.

For some reason I seem to be unable to get some items from the UC Garapon. For example I never got a single Long Range Unit Wonderbit while I got at least 8 of every other single silver item.

More like arts are useless against airs if the air has a melee that can stunlock.  At close range, an art can just m1+m2 and the air will blow up in a split second.

Now, an art directly above them, that they're helpless against since they can't aim up high enough.  Thoarla and Helingal make that really fun and easy :3

If an art is having trouble killing airs without any melee weapon equipped, he is doing it wrong. Large arts should ALWAYS stick with the crowd, this coming from a full art player. If you can get allies which support you, your damage output will skyrocket since you're always given the opportunity to attack, and arts seem to have the highest damage.

If you let any bot with a custom shotgun within firing range of you, you will die no matter what. :derp:

This is my level 1 Elme S.

Her cost is at 360.

She is the lowest-cost support bot in the game, as well as the smallest non-chibi.

And I don't think she has enough weapons. :derp:

Just logged on and saw ~250 people on channel 1. Is it me, or is the population dying?
Maybe it's just what I said before, this game is more active during the late afternoon and evening.

Also, I like the new menu theme. It says something like... cute Japanese robots. It lacks the "OMG EPIC PvP BATTLES BOOM BOOM CRASH" feeling, though.

I think it's because the population is spreading into all the channels since CS said that there is less lag if less people use just one channel.

Speaking of RT gara, I thought I had nothing to lose by rolling it since at least everything on the lists are at least somewhat decent.
Little did I know that you could roll ITEMS.

Equal chance for anything on the list, which means RT garas (specifically Ouka, Moe, and Mecha garas) tend to be generous when it comes to handing out bots.

However...

SUPERFLY loading screen means you actually get a chance at those.
CARCRASH removes the chance of getting any gold bots.
DERPWALK means you're going to be enjoying weapons and tuneup materials.

Two bright sides though:
1. Chibi gara is guaranteed gold.
2. All gara bots have 3-slot parts.  Even if you don't use the bot itself, its scrapped parts offer a lot of potential to UC bots.

Obviously suggesting to wait for EVE gara unless there's something specific you want to roll for before the sale ends Wednesday.

Read through the mangas on the website and they're pretty good. I want to read more.

EDIT: Right now, my Jikun is equipped with two armor breakers and has 11 TEC, no tune-ups, no body part changes, etc. If you can get Laz's TEC higher than that without tune-ups and part changes, I'm getting a Laz.
If you're wondering why I'm asking, I use land types for sniping, instead of artillery types. I tried sniping with Lily, didn't do so well.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but isn't it kind of impossible to change stats without tuneups or part changes? :V  I think Jikun has a higher base tec (slightly), but Laz has more capacity to work with and has two BS slots thanks to her legs which lets her equip two boosters; I've gotten her to 18 tec before without tuning.

The wonderbit is weird and the explosion seems to be kind of useless but i guess i am just using it wrong. Should i give her a melee weapon? How about short range weapons? Or just put 2 shields on her and practice exploding?

C.S. is nice in that her stats are universally good.  You can do whatever the hell you want with her.  I personally run accelgun + micro zooka on her most of the time and play her like a regular healer.  Other builds I use include x2 shotgun with a burst fire bit, and x2 Viper Shield, run at a crowd, go boom.

Speaking of surveys I want 50 RT before today ends so I can get a Destructor Girl before the sale ends TOMORROW.  Had two offers confirmed for 9 Rt each and didn't get anything for them, goddamn.

I've got an assload of gara bots - most that I never use - because I spent Christmas money.  From offers I've gotten a shine battler (#6 hurr), a sigma clock (dupe), and Misty (who is terrible if you don't make her a hopper; I suck at hoppers).

EDIT: Almost got Mecha Jetter Girl instead, but decided to go with Destructor Girl after all.

Oh my God this is the best bot I have ever played, I'm getting top 10 in unrestricted rooms with star ranks at level 0.  And let me tell you, Tec definitely makes a HUGE difference in damage.

x3 airs, unless you know what you're doing (I've heard of solos with Victory 1 before using grenades and the internal blast zookas).  First two airs should have 499 or less cost each, last one can be as expensive as you want.

Use shotguns, blasters, etc with the first.
Use wide beam gun + other weapon of choice on the second.
Use whatever the hell you want on the third, within reason.  You should be using a similar setup, but since cost doesn't matter with the third bot you could do something crazy like Stardust Cannon + x3 Great Force-tuned Custom Shotgun.

I don't know specifics beyond that aside from "blaster bits help", so good luck~

No longer needed. I just took a Seraph, gave her a wide beam  and a mini-bazooka. Second was an Izuna with a similar setup. Used the wide beam gun on everything I could and the bazooka shat on the shielded ones. I cleared without dying, the boss has little health. Also, I used dual beam bits.

Replace the BS for sure.  Jikun BS actually SUBTRACTS Tec.

I don't know what a good BS for lands for tec is though, aside from Laz BS and Shadow Hunter BS (both being 75 cost and having +2 tec among other stats).

Gave it an Ace Braver, now 14 TEC. But it takes away 2 STR so I'm back down to 16.
I still need STR because I still use melee a lot, so I guess I'll have to stick with Ace Braver BS until I get a better one.

Also, this random guy walked up to me and asked me what I wanted for Cosmic Break Christmas. Someone else came and answered "your face."
Funny thing is, my Jikun is named "Your Face."

I highly recommend using a California proxy to do surveys to roll chibi gara if you want a chibi that badly.  Gold in UC gara is a bitch to get, and the UC koko lacks slots; her stats are virtually unchangeable.  RT chibis have nine slots as well as better abilities (Crim-chans, Ouka Kamuro, and maybe one or two other chibis have magic circles that give burst fire instead of long range; certain chibis have additional carts like Quick Swim; others still have completely unique abilities, such as Ouka Kamuro's Ouka Raisen and Lily's (alleged, I've never seen this before) helicopter-like takeoff when tumbling sometimes).

welp

reV, guess I was wrong about the wonderbits.  Wonderbit duration would be the same at 1/1 as it would be at 40/40, but apparently a wonderbit's strength is determined by your lower attack stat.

For example, a bot with 12 str and 12 tec will have their wonderbit last longer than someone with a bot that has 40 str and 12 tec, but their wonderbits will do the same amount of damage.  Similarly, a bot that has 1 str and 1 tec would have the same wonderbit duration as someone with 40 str and 40 tec, but the 40/40 bot will do considerably more damage with their bit than the 1/1.

Also, additional penalties for having one or both of the stats at 0.

Attempt to convince parents to let me buy RT has failed miserably.
They'll only let me buy it on special occasions, like my birthday, which is in August, and Christmas, which is at the end of the year.

Don't get too excited about it though, it's a rare drop, has absurd cost, and has the same force as a short sword.

I will admit that the range on it is obscene though, and that that alone is enough to make it worthwhile.

You forgot the part where it looks really cool. I have yet to use it outside of quest though.

Also, why do so few people use Beezles. I've seen like 3 people use them. They're just so good. It's nice chasing down a low health Ouka into a crowd and not having to worry to much because the cost is low.

Also, do you still say haku sword rapes Berzy, I tried it, and I still prefer dual blasters. I had marginal success with the Negatron Rifle too.

I sold three different people on the concept of level 1 headless one-arm beezles with machineguns today.  It's such a fun commando, and it's impossible to end up with a bad score using it.  However, I also spent a good portion of today using a Sword Wing; having 31 fly while still only being at 300-400 cost is fantastic.

Kamui staff is really only nice for when you run out of shotty/blaster ammo and don't feel like suiciding, there are definitely better options and I simply didn't know any better at the time.  I throw a force-tuned omega blaster and custom shotty on my thoarla during berz, and she can get 1000s to pop up during hyper shot.

EDIT: How is one to use Shino? I'm finding her BS to not be very practical, and I can't be agressive like I can with Jikuns or Squealers. Her TEC is rather high for a LND, so I gave her an armor breaker, with marginal success. Also, I keep confusing her with Marill.

I'm assuming you mean her LG.

anyway

Four main Shino playstyles I've seen:

1. Give her x2 shields and run everyone over with her LG attack
2. Give her smaller legs, a bazooka, and use her as a hopper
3. Give her Byne/Squealer arms and kill everything with your fists
4. Give her accelguns or 8-vulcans and shoot things

4 is probably the most practical.

You're prolly right. 4 is the pretty much what the play style I'm looking for. It just seems that other robots(UC) are just better fot the other things. Btw, I've never been a fan of double viper shields. I could understand if you had a gun and a melee built in, like I wouldn't mind doing that to a Jaguar Arm with a squealer. But I see Jikuns and squealers do it. I've tried it, but I keep getting stun-locked into obblivion and wishing I had a gun to take down the low healths shooting me without fear. I also don't get why people put them on Airs, I keep seeing them on Crims. I would rather have another gun.

They work great on S-airs, actually.  They usually completely shield you from grounded attacks, and amp up your survivability considerably.  Also keeps you from getting stunned, dropping to the ground, and consequently killed.  And for people that want to play Tesla with her regular arm, the shield lets you get up close for thunder laser/raiko without getting your face ripped off.

Damage based on force and TEC (http://i56.tinypic.com/4jlyj5.png)

Sometimes you're better off increasing the force if you are tuning a weapon. Since sometimes it takes about 2 to 3 TEC to increase damage by 1.

Sturbanger in general is horrid.  Massive cost, massive target, internal and arm missiles both have crappy homing and lowish damage (moreso the internal, with a measly 8 force per), and he's slow as hell.  The instant anything gets even remotely close to you, you die and cost your team 2000 BP.  Not to mention that he's 100 RT (50 RT on sale) on top of it all.

Clan tourney matchup is set!

Super nervous atm, lack of confidence is kickin' in yo, I just don't feel I'm on par with rest of my guildies. At least it's 10vs10 so PC won't lag to hell like in typical 30vs30 Shuffle rooms.

Now I just need to find some Midoro cosmo to finish up my Izuna's tune up, can only get them from Arcantus, right?

I decided not to participate in the clan tourney because I don't have a single bot that's at max level or fully tuned.  After seeing some of the other clanmates that joined though, I'm regretting that decision >_>

Midoro drops from bosses for sure, I don't actually remember the last time I got one from arcantus.

Also, Lop sisters next week <3

EDIT: And since you're never on IRC at the same time as me, some tips for Crescent Saint (or rather, general air melee):

1. Melee airs should focus more on quick weapons with lots of reach than weapons with high force.  This is also true for land melee (see: Metal Slayer sucks ass), but it's even more important for air melee due to adding the third dimension of elevation.  Popular melee choices include Kamui Staff, Sonic Blade, and Slash Blade.  Halberds and Lances (can airs use lances?) are also good.  I personally like rapiers, but lots of people have trouble using them effectively, so.

2. If you don't want a specific melee weapon, Ace Braver AMs are fantastic as well.  They actually have near-identical stats to Crescent Saint's default arms (1 less fly), and stunlock effectively.  You can run x2 shields or a shield and a gun of some sort with this setup without sacrificing melee.

2a. Frau legs.

3. Since you'll be in enemy territory and are dependent on boost, you'll want quick jump, quick boost, and/or float dash.  Quick Land+Float Dash is a great combination, though I don't know how viable it is cost/cart-wise.

4. Flying is the most versatile form of mobility.  You can actually afford to be more aggressive with airs so long as there aren't arts around, since you can get in and get out more easily.

5. Only dual melee bit is dual pepen, and it has crappy range.  Use Slayer bits.  Alternately, use dual beam/laser and laugh as you horribly maim and stunlock any land you meet.

*sigh* I wish everything didn't have to be RT. Anyone know any fun UC bots? I decided to try Helingal, and once I got over the fact he was a transforming Helicopter, he was underwhelming. Why bother with him when I can use a Seraph, Izuna, or a Tesla. His weapons deal very little damage,and I can't change them, where as with the other 3, I can switch things out for extra flexibility. I could try tune-ups, but I absolutely tuning(it can go die,) I only use it for things I really like to use, and Hellingal has to work his way up there. I might try my luck with another bot, but I don't want to spend 30k-50k to get a robot that's obsolete compared to what I already have.

Is there anything other AM that can contend with them. I'm debating getting a slotted Lily Rain. Main reason I'm hesitant is because I'm trying to get 50 RT for a Sturbanger(he's fucking badass), Aquila(what my friend used), or a chibi.

Slotted Mach Knight AM has more potential than Lily's, for a FLY/TEC build that is.

Though for a M size bot, Tengu AM wins if you do not intend to tune anytime soon.

If you're talking UC, Dharma and Cyberoid AMs are the best.

In terms of RT, Cross Raptor AM is the best you'll find if you can luck out with gara 1.  For non-gara bots, Maril March AM and Mecha Jetter AM are solid choices as well.

Before I go looking for cyberroid, what kind of bot  is he, and more importantly, is he in the shop(I'm not going into arcantus if I don't have too and I know what dharma star is)?

btw, how do you feel about the peace maker? Just got one from UC Gara 2. Was thinking of using it instead of a Vulcan with Shino when I get Boost Run. Maybe I'll test it with a Jikun. Also, how can the Damascus knife have more  range than a Kamui Staff? It's so small.

Shame. I manage to get decent results with it though, at least until I run out of ammo. Could you elaborate on how teh Damascus is weird? Mainly, does it have awesome range, giving it some kind of trolling invisablade?

for Art I recommend getting the Howitzer AMJ.

It is easy chair artillery and flies over most walls, if you aim it right.

Only downside I can see is the 40 shot ammo limit and it's role as a secondary weapon, but it works well for hitting unsuspecting people in the face

I'm not even sure what it means by that range, because it certainly doesn't feel or look like it has that much.  The weapon itself attacks ridiculously fast, and seems to break parts like Slayers do; I chopped off both of a Shino's arms within a second of each other when stunlocking one.

You can always use false information, that's what everyone else does.

Maybe I'll test it against Haku, see if I can attack through the fence like I can with the kamui staff.

In other news, I got a maril March Trill. Fun bot.

Tried. Damascus Blade did not piece the Haku Barrier. Niether did the Halberd. Maybe the Kamui Staff is the weird one.


Also, I was looking at the UC Gara, and noticed how ridiculously bloated it was. That gave me an idea. Remember how I said we need a tuning Garapon? Well, why not reformat UC Gara 1 into it. After all, why else would someone use it? Gold's are near impossible to get there, I have gotten a gold 3 times out of my 100 rolls, so I'm not going for that. Wonderbits not in the shop? UC Gara 2 completely outclasses it. Random accessories? Few of them have status effects, and UC Gara 2 outclasses it there too. That only leaves chips and various tuning materials, so here's an idea.
l
Put the slotlessKoko Gaap in the shop. Make her about I dunno...30k UC? Sounds fair to me, if a little on the expensive side. The gold accessories(Mini-Lily,Mini-Crim, Ouka hair thing) can be given slots and put in UC Gara 2 with the other acessories in the bronze level. Most of the wonderbits(silver-level) are in UC gara 2. The ones that aren't(only the Long Range Unit and the Propeller) can be put in the wonder bit shop. How many people use Propeller bits? I've only seen them used for Frac. I have never seen the long-range bit outside of chibi circles, so I don't think they're overpowered in anyway. The misc. accessories can be be put into the shop, as few of them are stat-changers. If the ones that are can't be in the shop, put them in UC gara 2, though I feel that would become too bloated after this.

Now that everything not tuning-related has been taken out, this will be what is put in. In the bronze area, are the level 2 cosmos(fudara and twode), alpha catalyer, rainbow chips. a In the silver level, you would find the level 3 cosmos(Midoro and threed), the beta catalyzer, and the alpha slot protector.They're rt I know, but I'm pretty sure the loss will be minimal, as I doubt too many people spend their hard-earned rt on tuning material. The gold level, would have the level 4 cosmos(Yoguru and Fourda), the gamma catalyer, and the omega slot protector.

The not-mentioned tune-material would go in the red and blue zones. The level ones cosmos would be red, along with the chips, with the misc stuff being blue. The chips would come in bunches of 2-3 and the misc tuneup stuff would come in bunches of 5. That still makes the garapon rather bottom-heavy though. So, perhaps the misc materials would be cycled out every so often(have around 5 misc. materials and cycle them out with each maintenence period.) If people are being left out because their item isn't in the garapon, they can give them to Crimrose, at least, they should be able to.

Crimrose's exchange are terrible as is. 400 pts for a chip is a lot when you need around 10 of them for a tuneup, assuming there's a 100% rate of success, which is being really generous, considering your average tuneup has around a 40-50 rate of success. My proposal is that Crim's prices are cut to 25% of what they are now. If some gets 5x an item they don't need from the reformed gara, they can exchange it for 3-4 of the item they want. If there's worry about it being too cheap the UC fee could be increased to balance it out.

There's my idea. The current UC gara 1 sucks, and the tune-up gara idea isn't new, so lets remake UC gara 1 into a tuneup gara, because that's basically what it was, as tune-up parts are you would get 90% of the time you do it.

It varies not only by bot, but cart number as well.  For example, Thoarla's internals increase force by 1 and ammo by 10 for Jupitizer.  All four of Destructor Girl's give +1 force, but int only decreases on the even numbered carts, speed only increases on the odd numbered carts, and range's increase doubles on the 3rd cart (and ammo does something too).

So...how 'bout those proto arks?

I tried to solo the first one, that pinkish-purple butterfly one.
...Didn't go well.

Think any of you guys could lend a hand sometime?
Doesn't matter if i get the low-end loots, I just wanna beat the dang thing.
Of course...nobody's forcing ya to, you don't have to if ya don't want.

Just be forewarned, my only major source of damage on it is my ART's all-fire, which only dings it for about 80-100.....
All I used was the frame and wind memories......why did it go so poorly.....?

Also, to let you guys know why I asked you and not some random pick-up-group is exactly that.
I trust you lot a lot more than some randoms.

Use dual shotguns and make sure all your bots are wielding dual shotguns. If any of your bots are support, give them the burst fire wonder bit.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: reVelske on March 01, 2011, 11:00:07 AM
I certainly don't mind helping out, seeing how we don't have that much of a timezone difference (unless your profile lies about your local time, which is GMT+0 as far as I can tell, I'm on GMT+2), let me know what time is convenient for you and I'll make a plan (sometime in the evening of course, or early morning).

I suppose I could try summarize a few points about each of the runs.

Berz (giant bee)

Equipment: 2 x Shotgun/Blaster type weapons, Shotgun/Custom Shotgun preferable.
WB: Burst Fire Bit on your support bot (increase attack speed for you and your teammates, speeds up the fight by a lot); WB doesn't matter much for non-supports, but Blaster bit if you really want to maximize your dps.
Bot Types: Anything goes assuming they aren't slow as hell as you will need to chase after Berz for 2*/3* (maybe even 1*, not sure).
General Strat: Find a good spot, settle down and burst his ass down, WB whenever possible, give Burst Fire to teammates whenever possible, learn his dive/AoE/bomb animations so you can anticipate and avoid them in time. He will travel from/to different locations on the map during 2* and 3* after a set amount of time, you need to learn these locations and learn the correct route to take to reach him. This is absolutely vital for 2* and 3* as you want to minimize the downtime from chasing after him, as he will try regen his life once he has reached his new location and left unharassed.

1*: Can be soloed and dualed with reasonable ease, I think.
2*: Easy with three skilled players. Probably slight of a challenge for two players. Might not be soloable.
3*: Pretty fucking difficult, you'd want a full party of skilled players and plenty of burst firing, and pray that he doesn't troll you.


Frac (ball of ice)

Equipment: 2xShotgun/Blaster type weapons for Air, 2xBlaster type weapons for Support.
WB: Propeller Bits for Air (essential), Burst Fire bit for Support
Bot Types: Air and Support, NO EXCEPTION. Support is pretty hard to do Frac with also, as it takes a lot of time to climb back up the platform if you do get knocked down from there, but Burst Fire bit can make a big difference for the rest of your team.
General Strat: Fight through waves of trash first, then climb the platforms to deal with the boss himself. He will continuously fire small beam bolts at you, they can easily be jumped over/dodged if you keep your eyes open, if you are propellered and circle strafing Frac, they generally will not hit you (though you will need to keep your eyes out for random stray shots aimed at other people and try not fly into them). This gets a lot more tricky when Frac is on low health as there will be many other sources of death to worry about. Regardless, you don't want to be hit by them as they hurt like hell and will likely break something. periodically, he fires a big green beam and rotate slowly, move the hell along to avoid it. After he is dropped to about 50% and 20% (I think, can't remember the exact numbers, hell, not even sure if he does it at all for 1*), he shields himself, breaks some of his platforms and create a few sentries/pillars/towers/objects/whatever you want to call them around the map (look at your minimap for their locations, they have a different icon to the trash mobs), destroy them to deactivate his shield. When you are busy with that whilst he's on 20%, he will fire off a nuke before he unshields himself, get up the platforms to avoid being hit by it. At low HP, he will fire slow homing orbs at you that will apply slow status on you when hit, try avoid them of course. He will also make some platforms detonate periodically, you will see small sparks lighting up around some of the platforms, once all the sparks of a platform light up, it does a blast attack that WILL kill you if you are on it, so fly off them before they do.

So, try avoid his shit whilst dealing damage to him. Air can propeller up and circle strafe him whilst shotgunning his ass (try adjust your distancing to get the most damaging distance for your shotgun), blaster users can stand at the platforms and fire at him from a distance, shotgunners can do the same thing on some specific platforms as well if I recall correctly.

1*: Should be soloable, but with some difficulty.
2*: recommend 4 skilled players at the very least, 3 players with Frac might be possible, but probably is one hell of a challenge.
3*: Bring 5 skilled players, don't fuck around. This thing is batshit crazy.


Haku (Nine-taled Fox)

Equipment: 1x Shotgun type weapon + 1x 3way Dagger/Comination Dagger(gara weapon). NOT EXCEPTION. (Eso would probably argue that, but yeah sure, once you are pro enough against Haku you can go with other options, don't worry about anything else yet) Also bring some other forms of direct melee interegrated weapon. eg. Ace Braver AM, Red Squealer AM, Shino AM2.
WB: Dual 3way Dagger Bit for Land, Slayer Bit for Air.
Bot Types: Preferably Land, Air works too (especially with Trap phase) but Land is a lot more mauverable in most cases and able to equip dual 3way, and dual 3way bit makes a HUUGE difference.

Oh and be sure that you have Packet activated, as happy as possible and with her Trap Sight ability selected.

Never would've guessed, that thing takes a lot of punishment, even on1*.
As for time, it's about as right as it'll be.
Whenever we're on CB at the same time eh?
I may as well give it another go, this time with shotguns.

Berz 1* is definitely soloable with very little effort, if you shell out $10 for x2 asura amj you can take him out in six minutes flat without a party.  2*'s a bit more durable, but I'm quite certain you can still squash him with 15-18 min left in that case.

Fractulus is identical to Berzelius as far as I'm aware in terms of durability, but the fact that Frac has multiple attack phases slows the fight down no matter how quickly you can destroy them; a good party can destroy 2* berz at the same time you'd be starting Frac's true form.  Frac 3* is SCARY SHIT though, whereas 3* Berz just requires a team that isn't DEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRP.

Post by: reVelske on March 01, 2011, 02:15:22 PM
So shotguns are essentially it's weakpoint?

Not so much their weakpoint, but it's one of the highest dps weapon around when you are able to land all your bullets, and because the bosses are so frigging huge, you WILL be able to land all your bullets.

And it's pretty hard to track people down when you don't have them on your friend list, not sure what channel they on and where they are, guess I'll try send you tells to see if you are around when I'm on, your player name is Hanzo, right?

----

Anyhow, tried to re-tune my Izuna this morning to optimize things a little (decided to buy the Rt Izuna just for her 2 slotted legs), so I was trying to do a Proto boost tune (100% success rate by default) on the 3rd slot of a mach knight AM (80% success rate), gave it a harmonic, thought to myself "no fucking way I can fail a 90% chance tune" so didn't bother to waste a slot protector, instant fucking fail. Now I don't have any more 3 slot Mach Knight AMs left to tune and it's basically two Proto cosmo ALPHA more or less wasted (since another one was already on that AM), FML.

Eso~ Send me some Mach Knight AMs please when you see them~

Meh,I would start off with AIR, especially as when you're new, unless you feel like getting lost(much easier to follow people as Air.) Even if you aren't new, people use Air because they get around things more easily than Lands. Just make sure to dash instead fly during Haku's form, or lnds, won't be able to hit him. Also, you can use a support with burst Fire, it speeds up both shotguns and 3-ways.)
As for equipment, People commonly use Kamui Staves so they can hit him outside of the arena, and I've used the halberd with decent results too(large mechs can't use 3-ways)
You can also get away with support, as Burst Fire speeds up 3-ways.

Yeah, if you're new, start off with 3-ways/shotgun, but I thought I would give some ideas to experiment with. If I were to reccomend a good bot to Haku with, I would go with a jikun with 3-way and shotgun. They have great walk, and they're legs can't be be destroyed ensuring you always have a melee. Personally, I think as long as you have 1 AIR and 1 LND, you should be fine, though I would reccomend 1 AIR and 2 LNDs for beginners.

Sturbanger(looks awesome, my friend says it's solid, like the sound of its missile spam)
Amateus(It's stats make me think Lily Rain large)
Baltheon(for epoch)
Thoarla(I'm partial to mecha musumes)
Chibi Gara

Don't see any lands I want. The only I would want would be Hartigarm, and that's only if there was a robot unicorn reskin.

EDiT: Getting that last RT is more annoying than I thought. I would do surveys, but 9/10, I'm not eligible, and I'm rather paranoid about installations.

Sturbanger: Yeah, I've voiced my opinion on this one already. >_>
Amateus: Superb bot, you're right on your assumption (except Ama is medium, but whatever :P).  Though not a heavy artillery like Sturbanger, he's both powerful and mobile, which is overall more dangerous.
Baltheon: Balth + x2 stardust = MAXIMUM OVERTROLL
Thoarla: Loses Baltheon's shieldtrolling, but is still a very solid bot in her own right.  Great LG too.  I'M CERTAINLY NOT BIASED WHEN I SAY SHE'S MY PICK OUT OF THE FOUR, OH NO.
Chibi gara: Can't really  comment.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Prody on March 03, 2011, 05:35:07 AM
Sturbanger's slow and can die even to weak attacks because he takes all the punishment. However, he's great for epoch and whatever air that comes within his attacking range dies almost immediately.

Amateus is the more versatile and easy option and plays just like any other bot with high tec.

I remember facing a stubanger as a frog. I kept thinking "holy shit look at all those missles, it's a good thing this guy sucks at aiming." :V

Anyway, I'm torn between Baltheon and Thoarla. Finding out Amateus was an M made me lose interest, and I figured Sturbanger can wait(I still plan to get him eventually, he's the coolest ART of them all.) Also, my only L AIR is Tengu.

I want Baltheon because he seems to be more unique, but Thoarla has Jupitizer, which seems like a fun weapon, and is a mecha musume. I'm going to have to see jupitizer in action before I can make a decision.

I think I'll still go for Thoarla, then, even though I'm the type of person who tries to go out of their way to use the gimmicks. I'll prolly die several times trying to use jupitizer, but it'll be worth it. She also just seems to have that "first bot appearance," for lack of a better term. Also, if they suddenly remove the discounts. I'm less screwed.

Post by: Esoterica on March 04, 2011, 05:22:08 AM
Vanguard Fencer... is even worse than Ivis.
Correction: Vanguard Fencer hits harder than Ivis.  His lack of free hands, nonexistent air-chasing potential, lowish walk when untuned, and massive sword pretty much acting as a giant "Shoot me!" sign make the situations where he can actually  slaugher stuff with his insane damage output situational at best, and due to his absolute inability to use a shield of any sort, airs rape him even harder than Ouka.

Also, he lack's Ivis' Crimson Veil (though there'll be a tuneup that kind of makes up for it eventually...).

Though, you did remind me, it'd probably be a good idea for me to make a "how2counter" guide over on the fanforums for this, because Guyvis is making quite a stir.

Post by: Hanzo K. on March 04, 2011, 10:45:39 AM
Do note that it means if they get close.
Since it appears to be largely close-range, here's an idea that's 4 steps.

Note: This is based on first impressions after seeing it in combat while watching union wars.

1) Stay out of reach. (Air, or sufficiently fast land suggested, and do take care to look below for the (non)usefulness of arts in this situation.)
2) Have your team stay out of it's reach. (Airs, or sufficiently fast Lands recommended, ART is a deathwish.)
3) Watch sad little VF baww and whine about how he/she can't score. (Perhaps real life issues too? Koishi would know!)
4) Enjoy win, and possible trollage that may ensue after match, or transpire during match. (Lulz for all but the losing team.)

Problem solved.

Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Esoterica on March 04, 2011, 01:14:44 PM
Currently, you don't even need airs.  Vanguard has 17 wlk without really having a way to up that without tuning, extremely low tgh, and an even lower average lifespan.  Sure he hurts like hell if he catches you, but you can easily troll him with even a Lily with float dash.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Hanzo K. on March 04, 2011, 01:40:22 PM
Thus, he's the Glass Glacier, as my observations noted repeatedly.
But still, don't know just HOW tuned it is, better safe than sorry.

But if you want to troll him from maximum safety, use an air, preferably the fastest you can get your hands on.
Then proceed to buzz juuuuust outside his range.
You get to troll, and nail 'im down.
It's a Win-Win-Lose situation. (Win-Win for you, Lose for the poor sap rolling VF.)

It's more fun messing with them than it is Ouka. It's seems like he has a bigger hitbox. Also, if you could tune STR that high, why not put it into Walk or toughness? Or is his Strength naturally that high.

Between his core and his arms you're already at 26 str from those two parts alone.  You can get his str higher a lot easier than you can get his wlk higher, especially since wlk tunes neuter his already bad fly.

So then most players figure to play to the strengths, and leave the weaker stuff as-is.
Pitiful.
At least Ouka actually has some form of ranged.
All this bloke has in the way of range? His sword's massive size.
Ouka? Semi-decent speed, and at least SOME form of ranged combat.

The way I see it, Ouka was meant as a land-based fighter, able to zip around fairly well without flight.
This guy? There's ARTILLERY faster.

I'm not sure, but I think that Vanguard's sword swing might be slow enough for another melee bot to fight back. I got attacked by a Vanguard and I was able to hit him with my Kamui Staff before he could do the second swing.

Couldn't you just...use the 12-use subweapon?
That Iai move that's really badass and useful in her story mode.
It wasn't all that useful on the boss, but consider that vanguard has low TGH, that would mean that you can lead off with Iai, and follow up with a barrage of swings.
Since Iai is very close to being hitscan.

Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Hanzo K. on March 05, 2011, 02:41:13 AM
Is that what the weapon's called?
If so then yes.

As I've experimented with the one owned by the story mission model, and it can't be TOO different than the one owned by the limited edition.
It has a fairly good range of effect, and is near-instant.

A vanguard would have no choice but to try to tank their way through it, but the attack hits hard.
And would leave them vulnerable to a followup attack, either lolswordbeams, or slice'n'dice, depending on how quick you are with the controls.
Or just repeated uses of it, and hope you snag some collateral.

Ouka Raisen's pretty terrible due to startup and end lag, it's just asking to get killed.

What should I tune my 2s Drill Knuckle with? Here's the stats and details:

COST 70
STR +1
WLK -1

SUB
DRILL
FORCE 35
AMMO -
RANGE 29
SPEED 55
INTERVAL 840

DETAILS
Standing: Drill (three hits) => Drill (three hits), finishing hit pushes back
Running: Forward Drill (three hits), finishing hit pushes back
Boosting: Homing Drill (three hits), aims straight at the nearest target
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Hanzo K. on March 05, 2011, 10:51:38 AM
Well, I never said that you should use it exclusively, merely as an opener/finisher.
Sure there's a delay at startup and finish, but if you have fast enough reflexes you can zip away with minimal effort.
It's all dependent on catching the vanguard off guard, or launching it right before the swing.
Then relying on the damage dealt by ouka raisen to temporarily stun.
Since most bots with TGH below 20 tend to get hung up when attacked.

And it's entirely possible that it's folks not knowing how to play it.

As for the drill knucks, lemme think....force is usually a good pick isn't it?
Could always boost STR too though, but either one would work for me.

But of course, you aren't me.

If it was me though, I'd tune for a bit more force, and use homing drill often.
I need to get my hands on one of those really, my jikun hu would benefit from it.

Oh, on a union wars related matter...
I jumped into one after a while of semi-inactivity, and decided to equip a halberd on my jikun hu.
Cue me dragooning the first sap i came across.

I would assume it has a set damage threshold, once it's exceeded, you gotta wait before bringing it back online.

Deflector Shields only can take a set level of damage before they fail.
The baltheon shield is likely the same.

Not much reason to use anything else, aside from propeller bits.  Dual laser bits are good, but unreliable and don't last as long.   Plus, Slayers let you take arts on head-to-head.

I thought Airs could already take ARTs head-to-head, and that it was a major complaint among ART users. I certainly have no problem doing it with dual beam bits(my preferred bit,) though idk how good the ARTs were. The main problem when facing ARTs as an air is that they're in packs, and I don't see how a slayer would help with that.

Also, is there a reason they took dual blaster bits out of the shop? I don't remember too many complaints about them. I liked to use them in my Berz runs.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: reVelske on March 07, 2011, 06:42:04 AM
I wouldn't say head to head, you still need a lot of altitude to be able to pull it off comfortably, even then, them fat arts tend to have a lot of HP so it's by no means easy to chew through all that HP before you start getting shot at from every direction (unless it's an Art that's caught out of position of course). The advantage Air has over Arts is simply the ability to circle strafe the bastard without worrying about retaliation from that unit, nothing more, nothing less, there's really nothing an art can do to air circle strafe aside from taking cover. Even with that, an Air unit will still have to find a safe spot to land to regen its boost, and since you are likely behind enemy line for taking on an Art, to comfortably regen your boost is also quite the task. This is why Seraph is one of the most headache-inducing Air unit around, with the aid of their wings, they are able to stay in air for a long period of time without needing to worry about being hit by missiles thanks to the wing's anti-homing feature.

Now with Slayer Bit, you won't need to abuse altitude as much as usual, as your Slayer bit will guarantee to hitstun the Art, making it even more difficult for them to retaliate whilst dealing impressive damage.

And odd, I don't ever recall seeing Dual-Blaster bits in shop :V

The "normal" Thoarla is Thoarla Nimbus. I think the difference between them is how the Jupitizer works.

It is.  Nimbus has Jupitizer, a 45-force lightning blast centered on the target.  Frazia has Jupitizer Io, which scatters three 40-force lightning blasts around a target by a certain radius, just far enough away to not hit a stationary L-size bot.

For a while yesterday I kept getting booted while in a mission.
Like, I started Cacpetus Vacation, and all the enemies froze up and became invincible.
And another time that same day, I got all the way to the endboss of the pepen mission, and it froze up and became invincible, just like the cacpetus beforehand.

At least I managed to get enough UC to get some parts and stuff, as well as level up my thoarla and jjikun long.

And on that note, Jikun Long's kicks. :getdown:

Tell ya what man, you message me when you're ready to go, I'll provide ranged support, and I'll bring a few clanmates or friends.
Channel 3 fine?
That's usually where I can be found.
I need to level my Destructor CN anyhow, still gotta get that limiter miniquest done, which means i need to ding level 5.
Thankfully, I'm somewhat close to that, level 4, and roughly halfway to 5.

Sounds fine with me.
I'm not too strong, but I can at least cut it to a decent ammount on 1*, it just escapes me after that.
That's really the only flaw in my ability.
I haven't tried 2*, but I'm willing to help however I can.

Wait, you were going to do 3* without know the map? That's a very bad idea, as Berzy moves quite often, 4 times in fact on 3*. Knowing the map is must. I would say just follow other people , but then they don't know either, ending up with only 2 people actually fighting her.

I'm pretty sure there's a Berzy map somewhere though. If you don't get it by next week, I might be able to help you out. Maybe even this week, but I'm not counting on it.

No luck on finding a map, i figure it's gonna be hard to find.
Best I can hope for is finding some folks who know the map like the backs of their hands.
I bet a few clanmates of mine know.

I should ask them.
Mind you, it's a DOS clan, but unions only matter in the arena, am I right?

Right. It's not that hard though. There are only three paths IIRC.(There are four places where you fight her, you'll have to pass one to get into one of them though.) The hardest part would probably be the tunnel in the upper left, but once you make a right on the fork you find, it's basically a straight line. It might not make sense, but something I did was just go 0* berz and learn the paths that way.

btw, has anyone ever gone 0* frac. I wonder what that looks like.

If you need quick EXP, best way is to get good at 1* berz and spam the hell out of it.

800 exp a run that quickly adds up fast.  Lots of drops that way, too; I got a 3-slot mechled holding a handy bazooka last run from the cube I got. :3

Hell yeah.
Just need enough cost to use better equips and such.

...And the UC to buy said equips.
Well, I'll fix that eventually.
...If I can ever stop blowing it all on garapons.

Curse my love of garapon-related things! :fail:

Ah, yes, I'm spamming Berz as well, but 2* instead of 1* since I'm doing it multiple times and gain a chance to get one of the more rare drops. Doing 3* Berz is also pretty exciting, but getting lots of bucklers from it really sucks.

[07:05] <Choja> i really need to stop having weird dreams
[07:07] <Choja> i was like whoooooaaaaaaaaaaa
[07:08] <Choja> had a dream about cosmicbreak + marvel vs capcom 3 gameplay system, it's kind of magical
[07:08] <HashiriyaR32> o-o
[07:09] <Choja> the first character i thought of, strangely, was zero saber girl /o/
[07:09] <Choja> but yeah, three characters, it's a commando!
[07:09] <HashiriyaR32> ZSG vs Fencer?
[07:12] <Choja> apparently, the roster in my dream was ZSG, Zero Saber, Destructor (who was the worst character ever because he was a really shitty setinel and we all laughed at him), Crimrose (who had a seraph super), ivis, ouka (who reminds me of ryouki shiki with that one last arc), and a dorky misty hollow/nicole malice combo
[07:13] <Choja> but geez that would be a nice game /o/
[07:13] <+rei_hunter> lol
[07:13] <Choja> ouka had a stupid super attack!
[07:13] <Choja> it's ryouiki shiki's last arc!
[07:14] <B2Seeker> KYKOUSHI.
[07:14] <B2Seeker> RYOUGI
[07:14] <Choja> turn to ouka dayu, cherry blossoms and pink background, background fades to crimson as she turns to ouka and *slash* lots of damage to anyone onscreen
[07:14] <Choja> /o/ yay stupid counters
[07:14] <Choja> i think i had a really crazy cold that night
[07:15] <Choja> or i was actually drunk

BONUS:
Have fun with my blatantly long explanation!

Nicole Malice
STATS AT LEVEL 0 DEFAULT PARTS:

280 HP/SUP/S - COST: 555/605
STR: 10 TEC: 8 WLK: 11 FLY: 19 TGH: 14


BD - MODE CHANGE: Enables the SOUL ROD installed in her right arm (AM). The weapon equipped on her right arm disappears when SOUL ROD is enabled, but will return if MODE CHANGE is used again to disable it.
AM1 LOCKED - SOUL ROD: Can lock onto four targets simultaneously and fires four slightly homing lasers. If the weapon locks onto only one target, it will fire two lasers instead of four, otherwise all four lasers will fire. Projectiles inflict Booster Trouble (doubles speed of victim's boost gauge depletion) and if the victims have any WB gauge, some of it is stolen and comes back to Nicole Malice as yellow orbs.
HD LOCKED - NECROMANCY: Activates Nicole Malice's unique wonder bit, DEADEYE BIT. This subweapon is special in that it can activate the wonder bit at any amount of energy in the WB gauge.
WB LOCKED - DEADEYE BIT: A three part wonder bit unique to Nicole Malice. The hands will fire purple projectiles that inflict Booster Trouble and slam into nearby enemies if any are in range. The center bit fires a red projectile from its eye that lights anything it hits on fire. Center part has around 100HP, hands have around 150HP. Do note that while this wonder bit is activated, Nicole Malice herself is inflicted with Booster Trouble.

WARNING: Nicole Malice's WB gauge does not increase normally like other robots; she must use the SOUL ROD to steal the energy off of enemies.
Wonder Drugs work normally on Nicole Malice unlike Patty Lop.


CARTS:
LEVEL 1: 6x Capacity Up +70, Shell Guard, Sword Guard, Blast Guard, Beam Guard, Tough Wonder Bit, Soul Eater
LEVEL 6: Sway, Boost Run, Short Boost, Float Dash, Quick Land
LEVEL 9: Broad Radar, Sniper Sight

BUGS:
1) Her head sometimes doesn't move.
2) The glow from her SOUL ROD stays around even if you disable it.
3) Her wonder bit under very strict conditions can actually be activated at 0 gauge, allowing it to stay infinitely until it dies.

Okay, Berz 1* isn't so bad when you know where the dang thing runs to hide.
I was recommended to get vulture parts.
Specifically, the wings and booster.

Same thing. :3  They look nice, but they're garbage for the cost and make you a massive target.  Same for Snow Vulture BS.

Running treasure quests in arcantus.  Running the high rank ones is literally 8k per 10 minutes.

And treasures would be the fastest way to get UC, assuming you know the treasure routes. Otherwise, Arena spam is your only option, which isn't that bad.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Hanzo K. on March 15, 2011, 04:14:42 PM
My thoarla.
I guess making her a bigger target won't do too much given as how she's already pretty big.

Aside from that, I'd have to not only memorize treasure locations, but the gate locations too.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: reVelske on March 15, 2011, 07:01:32 PM
Vulture BS is relatively small, should be fine on Thoarla IMHO, besides, you don't really have much options to go with, it's either that or Snow Vulture/Thoarla/Tengu/Big Mountaiz BS unless you want to fork out some Rt. Personally, I'd have just went with Tengu BS since Hi-Jump is totally addictive, but that's just me, from a cost/size efficiency point of view, Vulture BS should be the best option.

And remembered treasure/gate locations? Huh? For Arcantus? *scratches head* Or you mean for the boss runs?
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: hyorinryu on March 15, 2011, 08:18:58 PM
I personally use a Tengu as a BS. Easily Tuned, as it's easily replaced for 1600 UC.The TEC bonus is nice too.

EDIT:

btw, what do Large AIRs have in terms of weaponry. There's the stardust Cannon, and the plasma gun. I guess the Negatron Rifle is good, but it's really hard to aim with AIRs. They just feel really limited, which is why I never played them until I got Thoarla and Baltheon.

Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Hanzo K. on March 15, 2011, 08:53:33 PM
Arcantus.
and so far my idea is the snow vulture wings, and the vulture booster.
or a mix-n-match of decent parts.

As for weapons, they have the omega blaster, the strongest beam shotgun.
as well as the aforementioned stardust cannon and negatron rifle.
they also have an rt weapon called "Twister Fan".
it kicks up gale-force winds.
now recall that there's a Tengu mech.
Tengu fans kick up gale-force winds.
2 + 2 = 4.

I was told that the distance only affects how many bullets it actually counts damage for.

That said, there was no testing involved.  This is purely taken from the given int and force as well as the amount of bullets fired per shot.

I got one looking for a Stardust Cannon. Put it on my Shino and i like the results. Not as much as the Negatron Rifle, but eh...]

Laz AM, Destro AM2, and Turtle AM are your only choices, and for what you want Laz AM seems to be the only arm that raises all the stats you want while having +2 tgh.

Yup the grind is bad, having to kill a boss 20+ times for a weapon drop isn't odd for an MMO though, especialy with how easy they are.
Missions on the other hand are totaly unforgiving.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break

It's wouldn't be so bad if there were more missions/quests, but with only 3 quests and 5 missions, it gets boring.

Maybe every time you clear a quest mission, it would give a token of sorts that could be exchanged at a shop for rarer parts.

The game relies on scarcity of the good stuff.  And it being less scarce for Rt.

A 0-slot stardust cannon would still need the token equivalent of tens of bossfights.
The 2-slot would need to be enough grind to match up to the 500 Rt or so it would cost you to get it out of the gara.
It still needs to be enough "work" to be worth what it would cost in Rt. Dunno what your minimum wage is like, but here that's about 5 hours tedious work to equate $50, You want it to be harder than using that real money, so say 10 hours bossgrind for a 2-slot stardust cannon.

Rt needs to have value, making it cheaper than the time the grind would cost is one way of doing that.

I would agree with you if there was a trading system, but there is not, nor or are there any plans of one as far as I know. If there was a set price for said stardust, I would be fine with that. But, just about everything good either requires a lot of time/money for a CHANCE of getting it. I just think it's stupid, and that it's a way of cutting corners. If the game is really fun, I should still be playing even if said Stardust Cannon cost 2000 UC. Also, it would not take $500 to get an Stardust Cannon, nor do people try to roll for it last I checked. A few posts ago, Choja was raging about getting one IIRC.
TBH, I just want a "cap" on the amount of time/money needed to get somthing. It's just unfair to the people who have ground the hell out of Haku, Berzy, and Frac, hundreds of times with little to show for it. The grinding doesn't give Cyberstep money, so I figured it would be easier to negotiate, though I think one should exist for Gara too.

Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Think Komachi with a Rifle on March 30, 2011, 02:14:53 AM
500 Rt migt have been a bit much, probably about 320 Rt (ten rolls) $32. It was just an example where you can get it for Rt as well as from boss grinding, pleanty of people must get rare boss drops when they want another one as well.

I actualy like the lack of trade system.
I think it's one of the best features, it means you get no goldfarmers/ RMT problems.

The problem I can see is that the new level for how many fights it takes to get the item is going to be aimed high. Instead of some getting lucky and geting a 1/50 drop first time everyone will need to run it 50 times. It's still a painful grind, just now a totaly even painful grind.

I don't see what's so bad about RMT and goldfarming. UC has little value right now. All it's good for is limit removing and Garapon. We already have people hacking into accounts, as shown by people hacking Snowflake accounts and junking their EVEs.

In EN, just about every way possible.  Surveys, rank-ups, purchasing it, and even doing things on other peoples' accounts (such as farming UC, tuneup mats, rare drops, or most frequently >1.8k on EVE mission) for donations.

In JP, rankups and UC -> Rt conversion.

It's using the mecha from it, and the customisation and using it as PVP arena shooter instead of a more normal RPG.

Whip drags you closer on hit for other melee followups.  It's weak and rather pointless on its own, and I don't know what its range is, but I'd assume it's a waste.

Not sure on the specifics of pumpguns, but  I don't see them being too useful on anything that isn't tuned to focus on a wonderbit (str and tec instead of just one or the other).

Pump Gun is alright, a decent substitute for Custom Mag and comes with a decent anti-melee. Sure, you'd want some str with it just so you can shoot reasonably sized bullets, but it does fine with mini-bullet. The bullet itself is 100% shell based, but if fired at pointblank, it adds an AoE blast damage and pushes anyone who is hit with the blast far away from you (Hurricane Blow effect).

On another note, while they gave the UC gara better items, they also gave the UC gara 2 crappier items. If you got a bunch of the old UC gara 2 items, then there is no reason to roll either of them unless you just want to collect them all, or need the accessories that give TGH.

Afterall, I chose DOS, and I'm pretty damn Hotblooded!

Sure, you can have yer BRD Courage, that's just fine. But there's way too many Wizlings.
I mean, nearly everyone on MoTK chose WIZ simply for Rie Tanaka. AKA, the lady who voiced Sakuya in that one touhou anime.

There's a variety of different crossbow weapons.  I'd assume you're talking about Cross Shooter, since the more popular two (Ballista Shooter and Power Shooter) are pretty damn rare in EN.

Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Mounting Jaggis on April 13, 2011, 12:23:20 AM
Koko has a high chance of appearing, I got 2 before the change and after the change 2 of the 4 gold balls I've gotten have been Kokos. So I have 4 UC Kokos plus 2 more I got from the chibi gara when I rolled to get something that's not a Koko. Nicole and the 1 Rt are as rare as the RO cube. And you don't have to worry about running out of Repair Bits, as long as you regularly roll either UC gara for the accessories you will get tons of Repair bits.

Well, it depends on how much hits the part takes, Chibi heads are biiiiig, so they end up taking all the part damage rather than having it distributed between other parts therefore they break quicker.

Though I keep getting the feeling that parts on Support units are more fragile than others.

Oh, I always though that a random part broke regardless of where they hit

Though I keep getting the feeling that parts on Support units are more fragile than others.

The only non-chibi support I've used are Nicole and C.S. I don't think I've ever had one of C.S.'s parts break, and I get hit with her a lot especially when I try to self-destruct.

EDIT: They started teasing CBen with the new fangirls too. I think they might be simultaneously released in CBen and CBjp. They also revealed Toybox Girl and Squidol Girl. I'm thinking of getting Aquila Girl and Squidol Girl, I think they are the best looking moe-bot so far. But I'm kinda disappointed with Toybox Girl, I was kinda hoping for an Art fangirl with a more mature appearance like the other new fangirls. And Toybox? A clanmate got him out of a lotto box and said that he sucks because his missile's are too slow to hit anything. It should have been Saggitaris Maxis.

It's a complaint about moebots in gerenal being mostly Rt only, and normaly garapon top prizes.
They're the main advertised feature, so need to be more available to UC players, or even just without the huge cost of gambling with the gara.

1. Handy Bazookas - as well as pretty much every other type of bazooka - is available for UC.
2. JP players fully understand that bazookas are extremely good  weapons and will use them on anything you can fit them on.  Mini bazooka airs fighting bazooka hoppers while dodging bazooka arts being supported by bazooka supports.

Also, what makes SilentIce bad, to the point where he's up there with Boytitan?

I got Toybox Girl with free Rt. She was the fangirl I least wanted, I'll try the gara some more next week when I buy more Rt. I doubt I'll get Aquilla Girl, but at least I might get the other silver bots which are also good.

EDIT: A question to anyone who uses UC bots only. Has it been harder for you to keep up in arena since the last update? A lot of people started saying that balance went to hell with some of the robots added in the Sugoi Gara. Most of them raging at Toybox Girl, and I think I might agree with them on Toybox Girl being too powerful.

Her missiles are too much. TBG's missiles are 10 force weaker but have more than twice the ammo, are faster, and are spammable as hell. And her wlk and tiny size makes her really hard to hit, All I've gotta do is just stand somewhere where I can see well and spam right click. If she only shot one set of missiles at a time she wouldn't be that problematic but she can fire repeatedly without cooldown and it makes it difficult for enemies to dodge the missiles, especially when they make an explosion as big as an Omega Hippo.

My BR went from 5.0 to 6.5 before my TBG reached level 5 and I'm barely trying. She's really fun to use but I think she seriously needs a nerf.

I'm technically super limited rt spender, but the the only items I've bought with rt are thoarla and Baltheon. I haven't been doing too well lately, though I don't think I would be able to pin it on Toy. It was more people spawncamping us with vanguards and me not knowing how to do anything with lily Rain (Moving Burst can't make that big a difference can it?) i'll try playing later and giving more data.

Personally, things would be much easier for uc players/limited rt players if tuning wasn't such a hassle. You need to gather all these materials, only for there to be a chance for it to actually work. It even breaks a slot, which discourages people from tuning parts they can't replace easily. Slot Protectors are too expensive, no one buys them.

Also, I'm not sure how to feel about CS turning Byne into Byne Girl. Idc about the other 3, but it's Byne, the manliest bot ever. Why?

One more thing, that pertains to the BR rating, right? I guess that means I should bust out that mighty byne HN i got from the cube.  :V

I think that might change with the level up campaign I mentioned in my last post. Hopefully it's a permanent campaign, CS still left the 50% off sale and the daily lottos, they'll probably do the same with this. Plus I really like this campaign, not because of the free items but because it rewards Rt stuff by working for it and since it's it's only between 5 to 10 it's not easily exploitable. I think that the best way for F2P MMOs to work is to give free players access to some cash content but they have to work for it, and if they don't want to work for it then they'll pay for it.

WIZ is definitely LayLay.  As bad as he is at actually playing (rofl @ last place with EVE and Ass Raider), just seeing his builds whenever I walk past him is enough to make me laugh.  Most recently he's been trying to alpha with fagbird AMs on a psycho cluster.
I thought I was the worst.
But that...
That just wasn't fair!

If I had to say, maybe that Laylay guy...though Analprobe is closer in terms of "infamy"
Also, it sucks how the campaign has been added 2 weeks before AP tests. And ends close to when they end. Ah well  :(
Oh God, I forgot about AP tests.  Boo.

AnalProbe's not actually terrible from what I've heard, though I haven't really seen him play and know he has some fellow clan members that are better than him (hi kobrakai, nice 40 fly 40 tec stardustfag).

How can you do that? Everyone at my school is like BAWW AP Tests. I have to take 4 of them too, one of which is Physucks.

Well, I wasn't saying Analprobe is bad as much he tends to cause lots of commotion( what with his analizing and everything.) Like that topic where that guy was disturbed by his emblem.

LayLay I said because he seems to be the only person I can think of in CB that gets as much hate as Ice. Does BT get that much hate like Ice does, though?

Hah. I remember something about Muchi's being better the faster the air was, and thus the original was more effective because few people tune stuff here.

btw, how the heck do I Jikun? It's hard I tell you. It's not like I can rambo like Squealer and Byne, and I can't connect with the tele attack for shit, unless my target's a fat art. I ending have better accuracy with the legs.

Well, in my experience, if I see a Misty I automatically think "hopper" or "derp with scythe." When you say you use melee, are you talking scythe? You might want to get rid of it and get a buckler.

If you want to melee with her, give her dual slayer bits. You don't want to be using the scythe when you're in the mist anyways.

Misty's scythe sucks.  Craptastic damage, craptastic range, knockback pushes your opponent so far away that they're automatically safe after 20~60 damage, and the dash attack is even more craptastic.  Apparently her AM3 doesn't have those problems, but I'm not about to try it.

If you aren't using Misty for hopping, you're using her for sniping.  And half the time you're using her for sniping, you're using decent hopper weapons on her anyway.

Are you sure about that? I've never actually used the AM3 in arena, but the only difference I noticed by swinging it around in the Wiz area is that in her running attack, she swings the scythe multiple times instead of one before attacking. I'm gonna try it out in practice.

Gee, does this mean I'm the only one without a Misty? Oh well, she can wait until after I learn to Jikun. I don't too many of them anymore anyways. I mean, I ocassionally see them, but they usually aren't high in rank. For every Jikun, there's at least 4 Vanguards.

Well, it's because everyone either ragequit or goes on the official forum. As mentioned before, the only people that from MoTK I haven't seen on the offical or fanmade forums are you and the Komachi guy, and that's might only be because I'm looking for soot/wisp,(no idea what Kcmachi dude goes by.)

Honestly, I'll say it before and I'll say it again. I don't get why people don't put guns on melee bots. That's just asking to crapped on by Airs, though really anything with a gun and higher speed, not even that, can do it too.

I never got all the rage about Jikuns either. Most are very predictable in their lag attack and have low tough. Spacebar does wonders too. I have yet to see a Jikun player get top 10. When I play Jikun, I'm using my bazooka most of the time as people turtle like crazy.

Well, unlike most LND, Jikun-series bots aren't meant to be hit.
They're meant to zoom around the battlefield like Speedy Gonzales on crack. And use either occasional melee attacks, as is the case with Long. Or use primarily Guns/Melee Weapons, as is the case with Hu.

Hmm...they're the same except for a slight difference in stacks and the angle the attack from though, so I imagine the strategy would be the same. Do you reccomend a specific weapon, I've been using the mini bazooka, but with your strat, I'm wondering about machine guns.

Which brings me to this point. Why do people like the 8-Vulcan so much. The regular trumps it every way except for a slight range and ammo, looking at stats. Is there some perk to using the 8-Vulcan I don't know about? I never used it, because I prefer rifles and bazookas on anything I would put them on.

The LG combo and tackle both work completely diffferently between the two.  Hu's tackle is a straightforward tackle and his LG combo is a typical melee spam-until-dead move.  Long's tackle is an invincible teleport behind an opponent, and her LG combo flips them into the air, which makes melee stunlocks impossible but makes them food for gun shots.

8-Vulcan has more range and fires two streams of bullets at once.  It's by far the best vulcan.

Which in turn makes Long a better gunner than her brother.
Suggested Gun Types:

Of course, those are just my personal picks.
Boost into the enemy with the tackle, knock 'em sky high with the kicks, then burst 'em down with twin machineguns!
Quite effective if you can time it right, most Airs won't last too long against it if you can catch 'em off guard.
Of course, the higher end ones like Thoarla, Tesla, and such are a bit more durable. And as such, less likely to go down.
Artillery types will also be sitting ducks for it.


How do I know this? I've used Long quite a bit. Hu too.
One could say that they're my mains. Long moreso than Hu though, and I'm more likely to use Thoarla or the Destructor CN you start with than either of them.
Though Long's the one I generally live longest with, by virtue of being my fastest bot.
Though I'm looking to get better parts for my Thoarla so she can fly better.

It's fucking wonderful, speed/range tune it and you can happily snipe away at things.

I dunno, Air is pretty entertaining for me as long as it's not a wisp spam or wing spam build, between AG, TBG, railgunners, EVE, Albatreos and Amateus, there are more than enough hazardous things to dive at when you want to spice things up.

Dual Pepen can work kind of like a poor man's spike bit for arts, since the pepens have solid knockback, allowing them to repel melee.  It also DPSes better than slayer vs Haku for air/art.

I honestly have no idea why, but I really, really want to give my Laz boost run. Re-read Suguri's guide, said it was up to me but could end up unuseful. My Laz is at 25 WLK right now, and I'm fine with it, but it wouldn't hurt to get WLK to 30. Still want boost run, though. I'll probably test it out on another bot, see if I like it.

Boost run (if not, soul eater)

Eager to get home and check out the full content of royal and weekly gara, especially to see if the weekly bots are carrying slotted accessories and 3s weapons, unlikely to charge up and roll for anything though. Mel seems interesting but not enough for me to gamble for, rolling gara for a single bot is never worth it.

Also, accessory cube from crim shop, DO WANT. Wonder what ridiculous price it has though... and I just wasted 10k crim points last night on 20 green chips, only to fail a great rapid tune and lose all of them + harmonics delta + slot protector omega at 85% T_T

with the new gara, you shouldn't roll even if you want any gold bot.

Recently I've been doing quests (mostly Berz) to try and get me a buckler, but I've had no luck so far. I heard Haku 3* drops a lot but is very hard. What do you guys think?

Also, do want Elisa... or not. Maybe I'll convince my parents to let me buy RT when Ivis-gara (?) comes out.

Haku is by far the easiest boss.  3* haku can be solo'd with a pair of lv1 beezles as long as you know what you're doing.

Also Elisa is very very very bad.

Im expecting a huge buff on Elisa next week, since Tempura said Aquila Girl and Mighty Byne Girl got a buff because they weren't as OP as Toybox Girl in the last GM radio, I don't see why they wouldn't do the same with her seeing as she is more rare.

He actually said they didnt stand out as much as Toybox Girl but since they decided to buff them instead of nerfing Toybox then that seems like the reason they did it.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Esoterica on May 21, 2011, 07:22:28 AM
She needs (at least) one of several things, imo:

- More aura ammo
- More capacity, same max cost
- All-around damage buff
- Aura stat buffs improved (+4 wlk +5 fly is both bizarre and mostly unhelpful)
- More non-aura wlk/fly
- Shield Bit should rotate like spike bit

She reminds me a lot of a watered down Ouka that's forced into special conditions to be able to work, and is forced to use her extremely unsafe gimmick attack to stay effective.

Also, bots take forever to level. In my 4month play time, I've leveled exactly one bot to 10, and that was Crimrose, which I made a Seraph. Lily Rain is sitting at lvl 8, (24,000 fuuu), 2nd Crimrose at lvl 9, and I haven't bothered leveling any others past 8, as I'm focusing on them.  Isn't it enough that those removers cost thousands of UC each?

You'll reach level 10 much quicker than in Union Wars.

3* CS is pretty foolproof and it is likely to be a clear even with random pubs, but haku can be shorter if there's lots of professionals.

I know, I've been doing that, but Berz and friends get really, really boring after a while. Also, you don't need to be pro for haku, just not super derpy. I thought CS took the longest out of the 4, because of how large the areas are and the long cutscenes.

The new gara hurts my head. The chances for getting gold is just weird, there are some people who waste $100 before they can get 1 gold while others constatly get gold. xzpwnz says that it has a higher chance of gold than Sugoi but most  people say it's actually worse. I know random is random, but random still has consistensy. For example, if I flip a coin 100 times the results might not be exactly 50/50 but it should be pretty close to that. With the Royal gara it seems like the chance of gold varies between players instead of just being luck. Maybe I'm thinking about this too much.

Also, is this good enough for a WLK Nicole? (http://i56.tinypic.com/2r7oety.png) Oh yea, I finally got my first Handy Bazooka after failing to get so many from the lotto cubes.

Really, I find that hard to believe. Sure the numbers have been staying near 300/50/50, but the amount of available rooms has decreased dramatically, I can barely hop rooms because often both(maybe 3) of the rooms have at least 80 till they start again.

I honestly don't understand why people need RT to enjoy this game. I only use UC bots (except for Misty) and I still love this game. Sure, I face a lot of overpowered RT bots like EVE, but I just deal with it. I'm just here to have fun, not become some super-awesome player like you guys.

You honestly don't, you just need to tune a little and you can do well. The thing is, almost nobody tunes their bots(I don't blame them, tuning is annoying as hell), so just tuning WLK/FLY and weapon speed can make you go far.

Still, I'm not going to lie. It's way more frustrating dealing with AG and Alpha Raiders than other bots. AG's not as bad, though I wish her stun rate was lower. Also, dual Vipers/bucklers are ugly. I hate Alpha Raiders because the moment I'm shot by one, half my health is gone by time I can move again.

The moment I see any of those two, I gtfo, no matter what bot I have. Course, most of the time they see me first...

Oh btw Rukoto, after you sign up don't forget to go to this page (http://www.cosmicbreak.com/info/topic/news/3262) to get a free robot. I would recommend Maril March Trill. She can be one of the best arts once you get used to her weapon which has great homing. She's also one of the 2 robots available there that you can only get with Rt, the other one is Mecha Jetter Gold but he is easily outclassed by Seraph.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Hanzo K. on May 25, 2011, 02:50:50 PM
I agree with Skye here, MMT is a pretty solid bot.
Sadly, the one you can get has no slots, so you can't really tune her without using different ones.
If you have the cash, I highly suggest getting a Payload Rifle, or a Scouter Rifle.
MMT does surprisingly well with Rifle-type weapons. She starts with a Musket, and that weird Right Arm that shoots...soundwaves? Looks more like lightning.
Also, she's a rhythm-based sorta bot, you gotta know the timing and rhythm for using the subweapon.

But once you can get it down, it's like Skye said, one of the best arts.
She's just a tad on the slow side in terms of flight. and she's not particularly durable, but some cost up carts might cut the mustard if you're intent on using her stock parts.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: reVelske on May 25, 2011, 03:09:16 PM
If you want to go SERIOUS BUSINESS with your Maril, all her parts will need to be removed anyways, so the lack of slots won't matter. And it's better off to focus on WLK with her so the lack of FLY will not matter either. Build Arm AM, Misside BS, Ace Braver LG, Hound LG, Thoarla LG, give her Ballistic Launcher/Box Missile/Blast Bazooka/Bazooka/Handy Bazooka/Buckler and tune her for TEC/WLK and you are ready to kick bubblegum and chew ass.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Mounting Jaggis on May 25, 2011, 04:17:08 PM
As a new player, he probably won't have access to things like Ballistic Launcher, Handy Bazooka, and Buckler right away and Thoarla LG and Blast Bazooka are Rt. Though you can still use the other things he mentioned in the meantime.

And like reVeleske said, remember to tune up her WLK. A lot of mistakes that people do with tuning their arts is that they focus on maximizing TEC first to do as much damage as possible but it's pretty pointless if you can't stay alive once someone gets near you. The majority of art robots have terrible mobility and most of the time have the largest hitboxes, fortunately Maril has great mobility for an art bot, but that doesn't mean she doesn't need more. reVeleske uses a Destructor with Grandum BS which is more commonly known as Fatart. It's seen as a free kill to most player due to being freaking huge and slow as balls but reV can still end up in the top 10 without dying because he tuned him to have more than 20 fly.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: reVelske on May 25, 2011, 05:24:06 PM

That's the funny part, every dick, john and harry thinks I'm a free frag and nosedive at me every opportunity they get, even when I'm peppering them with Blast Bazooka shots or kiting them through the entire team's firepower, they don't give a damn how much damage I'm wrecking on them because their minds are simply made up about being able to kill me with ease, and they will just keep shooting and body-slamming towards me until they die. Some semi-smart ones start to run when they hit red HP but it's too late for them by then.

At the same time, it's fucking annoying really, they do end up lowering my HP a bit (though with Stun Regain + Beam Guard + Blast Guard + 20 TGH, not as much as they'd like) and I don't always get the kill. The lower my HP is, the more retards I see body-slamming at me. LOW HP FATART! MUST BE FREE FRAG! I really much rather be left unharassed thank you very much. :V

Post by: Mounting Jaggis on May 26, 2011, 02:41:08 AM
Don't go looking for the gates after getting the keys, the purpose of Arcantus is to kill everything to get lots of loot. Just kill stuff and eventually you'll find the gates while traveling around the area. I'm pretty sure 10 minutes is more than enough time to find them and if you can't find them use a gate radar, you're bound to get a few of them if you spend your time killing stuff. Oh, and remember not to take the red gates, the enemies there are much harder than normal. BTW, what weapons are you using?

You're going to want to stick to shooting with Laz. Get a buckler, which is found in Bastagant if you can, but if you can't, just take a Viper Shield in the shop. 20 cost won't kill you. I would heavily reccomend a minibazooka for Crimmy, though I put one on almost anything. Really helps in Air battles.

Koi has a Crimrose guide here (slightly outdated since it was written during or slightly after beta and is based mostly on JP; he's edited it slightly since, but not much): http://cosmicbreak.forumotion.com/t456-a-small-guide-to-crimrose

I have a Lazflamme guide here (got lazy and never finished it completely, may do that today): http://cosmicbreak.forumotion.com/t3449-guide-lazflamme-and-you

Beezle varies a lot on a person-by-person basis; you could leave her lv0, remove an arm, and either keep the wide beam gun, or give her a military gun or musket.  Or, you could level her to level 8~10, tune her for fly, and equip her somewhat similarly to Crim (I'd keep the build arm LG).

For S/M-air in general, you'll be following a beam weapon + (mini bazooka or buckler) formula most of the time.  For S-land the build isn't as concrete, though.

Koi has a Crimrose guide here (slightly outdated since it was written during or slightly after beta and is based mostly on JP; he's edited it slightly since, but not much): http://cosmicbreak.forumotion.com/t456-a-small-guide-to-crimrose

I have a Lazflamme guide here (got lazy and never finished it completely, may do that today): http://cosmicbreak.forumotion.com/t3449-guide-lazflamme-and-you

Beezle varies a lot on a person-by-person basis; you could leave her lv0, remove an arm, and either keep the wide beam gun, or give her a military gun or musket.  Or, you could level her to level 8~10, tune her for fly, and equip her somewhat similarly to Crim (I'd keep the build arm LG).

For S/M-air in general, you'll be following a beam weapon + (mini bazooka or buckler) formula most of the time.  For S-land the build isn't as concrete, though.

That's some pretty solid information there, thanks. It really helps to know what I should be aiming for :V

Oh good. I remember someone saying Frogs were crap and combined with no one talking about made me doubt it.

Also, It's nice to know what I have to look to forward to.

You should go look at this video, although I think I might have seen this posted somewhere here before http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAB2xWRc40U&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAB2xWRc40U&feature=related)

Mist is cancelled when you get hit by a melee attack, but it protects you from all and any projectiles, no matter how near or far.

So as some of you may know, CS teased a Winberrl promotion. We still don't know if she is an actual promotion or a garapon bot like EVE. I think she might end up being a garapon bot, but since she has glowy wings like Seraph she might end up being a promotion. I'll be leveling up my Winberrl just in case.

I just thought of something, doesnt the starter Crim have locked LGs? And doesn't it unlock when you promote her to Seraph? I think it might end up being the same thing for rank-up Winberrl's AM.

Aww man, it would have been fun getting an extra pair of Winberrl AM.

Also, I think this teaser might be like the new fangirls and Melfi and Elisa teaser. They only showed Aquila Girl and Byne Girl but later they showed the other two and they showed Melfi first and then Elisa. Maybe they'll show us a LazFlamme promotion next week. I think it might have been in the first or second GM radio that Tempura said they are planning a LazFlamme promotion but they aren't quite sure what her special ability would be.

I wonder why not many people use Winberrl, she's one of the best things to use against melee. Not even MBG stand a chance.

EDIT: She can also easily stop hoppers dead on their tracks, I wonder why people didn't use her back when hoppers were crowding arena.

CVeil doesn't make you immune to bind, no.

As long as you get 1500 rank points per month, koi won't kick you.  That's like, seven missions, or ~20-30 arena matches in one month.  Not hard to make.

At first I had no interest in Ivis, but since people keep making such a big deal about her I want to get her just to troll people who think she is OP. I think the only thing she is OP against is other melees, otherwise she is countered the same way as Vanguard Fencers. The CBjp wiki doesn't have the stats for her rapier, but I'm pretty sure the range on it is less than Vanguard. So pretty much if you can dodge a Vanguard you can dodge an Ivis.

Rapier is 28 force iirc, and has moderate range during CVeil (derp range without).  DPS is actually lower than Ouka, Veil is her saving grace.

Can you tune it for range? Or does Veil override it like overdrive does for fencer? Course, I remember a build with slow tunes, so it may have been more practical to do that.
Title: Re: Cosmic Break
Post by: Esoterica on June 05, 2011, 11:50:01 PM
I'd probably go slow tune on Ivis.  Her specialty isn't raw kill speed like Fencer as far as I'm aware, it's more like "stunlock while being unstunnable".

I'll be damned if I know, ever since I tried leveling her up, I went from 4.5-5.0 to 3.xx, I wanted to ask you guys. I think it's because she requires aiming.  That and I don't feel like I'm doing the damage I should be. I've heard that alpha builds are glass cannons. Well, I see the glass(328 health and >1000 cost, surely I can do better than this.), so where's the cannon?

Please look at my build and expel as much derp as you can.

I didn't get the Tentrion AMs I wanted, but I did find a Tentrion HD with 2 slots, so I guess it's not that bad. I don't have anything to put it on though(all my non-Balth AIRs are moes.) Hmm...maybe I could give it to Balth and have him alpha while in the shield...will try out. Anyway, this means I have at least one of every Tentrion part that except for his AMs.

Also, found a Wootree BD, which I put in my sub-garage/Arcantus collection.

Well it depends on the bot of course, but generally, for most bot who can make a choice between Tent or Mach Knight AM, Tent will work out better.

That's my Izuna (http://koi-sama.net/cb/?Ra-SbScYd%26BDgAM7hWBgFP4hLGgM32iB5hHDguehHDACg90hFCACg29@B5hBSgL13iTjk3@lfT4hWPgHG31@mfmhk3iBjWPgBZ4@RP3fm%233*6f19f21f23f30|e|peedy|k|ren|ndefined|%2C|%3A|%7C|@B5f|1fT1h|AMgS6|T4fT4|RP1), and she's got everything ready/tuned EXCEPT one of the 3s Tentrion AM which I don't have.

I managed to fight them. The first one I found was Shiso, probably from CBjp, who was a giant Needle Mog. I don't think he was actually fighting back, he didn't even use Needle Mog's internal weapon. The I found Miso as an Omega Hippo. She actually fought back and almost killed me because I wasn't expecting her to fight back, but she went down pretty fast. The last one I found was Tempura as the Banhammer Maril. When I saw him with that I was thinking "well we're fucked." I was transformed into that Maril once and I noticed she had the highest HP out of all the transformations I've gotten, like 100 times more. He was also taking between 1 to 0 damage which didn't help much. He disappeared for a minute because he apparently got disconnected. Most of us just left and very few people stayed in the room. I heard that people that were still in the room finished off Tempura when he came back.

I think Game Warrior depends on how much damage you did, but sometimes I get the most damage and I don't get it. I think your cost also makes a difference, kinda weird cuz the difference on damage done between you and the guy first place is 6 and the cost difference is 40.

3. Redeem code.
4. Get Maril March.
And I'm having fun with it so far.

Maril March is very underrated. The homing in her internal weapon is even better than TBG but the reason people don't like her is because having to set up the sound balls before attacking.

Don't forget her high walk.

btw, Thoarla comes with the Thoarla AM, and I'm assuming Frazia has AM3. Where's AM2?

AM2 is summer thoarla.

AM3 comes on certain variants of Nimbus (red hair and some other hair color).  Frazia always has regular arms, I believe.

Made use of the UC / Rt conversion event to charge up 25 Rt I needed to purchase a Thoarla Nimbus. I needed a L air bot to abuse my recently obtained sdc with, and I didn't want to use a tengu, so yeah :V

Killing lnds has never been this easy. I should make a note of getting that abr though, for my seraph at least.

I got the ABR. It's harder to BS my shots with it(compared to Wide Beam Gun and Plasma.) Surprisingly, it makes it more fun. It feels more challenging and fulfilling with I hit something with it. It's why I like Lily.

I finally got me a Thoarla cube. Once I open it I'm gonna skin her like Okuu.

Hmmmm...thinking of rolling garapon...one one hand, I don't want to say I'm okay with garapon, but on the other hand people are saying that this is the best one ever, as aside from tune-ups, there are no fail rolls, and maybe I should support progress...and then there's the they gave me 50 free rt, so the roll could thank them for it...decisons, decisions...

Anyways, getting a playset of 3 ABR before the special wears off takes priority.

I'm beginning to see why people hate SilentIce. Me and a few clanmates were in a room with him and we left after two matches. All of that raging and bossing us around... ugh.
Shortly after, a conversation started about elitists and snobs, like "Only people I call the very best are good enough for me" or "I am better than all of you."

Jeez, is SilentIce as good as he thinks he is?

 Long overdue for a new thread.
