This build doesn't have as much of a max HP as other Devo focused builds. You might not be able to have more than 2 party members in your Devo.
	# {{#skill:5257}} ~~significantly reduces~~ the ~~incoming~~ damage. ~~Make sure to keep it up when available (since it can get dispell-ed). Additionally, since devo depends~~ on ~~the~~ reductions of the ~~person being~~ devo-ed, ~~suggest other party members reach atleast 40~~-~~45% reduction (using Alice Card etc~~.)		# Defensive buffs you'll generally want to keep up at all times: {{#skill:5255}}, {{#skill:2313}}, {{#skill:2315}} (level 2 only), {{#skill:2325}}, {{#skill:2318}}, {{#skill:249}}.
	# Keep ~~other buffs up~~ such as {{#skill:~~2313~~}}, {{#skill:~~2315~~}}, {{#skill:~~2318~~}}, {{#skill:~~2325~~}}, {{#skill:~~5256~~}} ~~whenever available~~		#* If you're devo-ing as well: {{#skill:5257}}. It cuts half off the damage received through devo. This 50% reduction applies on top of all reductions of the player you have devo-ed.
	# Use ~~skills such as~~ {{#skill:~~5266~~}} to ~~recover~~ AP ~~to help keep~~ {{#skill:5256}} ~~up whenever off cooldown~~		#* If you're devo-ing: note that {{#skill:249}} also blocks damage received through devo, effectively applying itself to the devo target.
	# {{#skill:~~249~~}} ~~blocks 30% attacks~~ and ~~applies~~ to devo-ed ~~targets~~		#* Optionally: {{#skill:5262}}.
			#* Optionally: {{#skill:2322}} in Vita, unless you have a Holy enchant on your {{#item:15388}} - for better protection against holy skill attacks from Arch Bishops there.
			# You will get dispelled. Dispel is dangerous as it removes most of your defensive buffs. Keep an eye on your buff icons and promptly reapply them after dispels. Start with {{#skill:249}} as it has no cooldown. At such moments your {{#skill:2325}} is always on cooldown, and {{#skill:2318}} is often on cooldown too.
			# You will get accessories stripped. This is dangerous as it breaks the {{#item:27112}} and {{#item:27111}} combo, lowering your damage reduction from 96% to 76%, which effectively increases incoming damage 6x (24% starts getting through compared to 4% normally).
			# If you're devo-ing, keep {{#skill:5256}} up and re-buff once it's off cooldown. If you're mostly luring, use a tactic that better fits your play style:
			#* Pre-buff before luring and reapply once off cooldown.
			#* Don't pre-buff. Cast it if you get hitlocked by mobs or get your accessories stripped.
			#* Pre-buff but lure less while it's on cooldown; lure aggressively once it's off cooldown.
			# Once you die, get back to the party as soon as possible and ask your biolo to reapply {{#skill:479}}. Switch your chat to party mode and bind a message like <code>FCP please</code> to your Alt+# hotkeys.
			# You might get gears broken. Bind a message like <code>brb need repair</code> in case you need to travel to your savepoint and back for repairs. Bind <code>@load</code> and <code>@lastwarp</code> for fast warps.
			# You will get trapped in Electric Shocker. Use {{#skill:2309}} to remove it.
			# You will get stopped by Extreme Vacuum. Use {{#skill:2323}} to remove it.
			# Mind your AP as you need it for {{#skill:5256}}. To generate AP:
			#* Aggro mobs with {{#skill:5265}} while luring. {{#skill:5265}} no longer requires switching to the Attack Stance and is now the most convenient way to regen AP if there're mobs around.
			#* Spam {{#skill:5267}} if there're no mobs around and you're short on AP.
			# Since devo depends on the reductions of players being devo-ed, suggest other party members use at least reach at least {{#item:4253}} and other reduction gears if possible.
	# {{#skill:252}} can be used to trigger {{#item:470073}} which could be a valid alternative to {{#item:470303}}		# {{#skill:252}} can be used to trigger {{#item:470073}} which could be a valid alternative to {{#item:470303}}
	# {{#skill:256}} can be cast on allies to increase their resistance against demon monsters by 25% ~~(not~~ a priority since there is only 1 demon monster per map)		# {{#skill:5013}} is useful in situations when you're luring a large mob and can no longer handle it but your party is too far away. Casting {{#skill:5013}} gives your 5 seconds to prepare your next move and allows your party to catch up while keeping you alive.
			# {{#skill:256}} can be cast on allies to increase their resistance against demon monsters by 25%. Not a priority since there is only 1 demon monster per map.
			# {{#skill:2322}} can be cast on allies to protect them from Arch Bishop's skills as well.
			# If you mostly use {{#item:1100005}} for healing, you can bind one of the hotkey slots to Space, and set Space as a turbo key (<code>Key1=SPACE</code> in its config). Thus hold Space = emergency heal.

			'''Patch Update'''
			After [https://forum.muhro.eu/d/4877-patch-notes-216-13-march-2026 patch], it looks like Zerocell floors 1&2 might be primarily suited for soloing
			and Zerocell floors 3&4 better suit lurers due to party loot.

Reach out to HavaHSniper on Discord to talk about / suggest updates to this guide

== Introduction ==
This guide aims to provide a viable path for people without super endgame gears to participate in Zerocell under certain party compositions

'''What is not possible'''

This guide '''will not enable''' you to solo-farm Zerocell

'''What is possible'''

This guide will enable you play as lurer, survive and contribute to Happy Hour parties

This guide will enable you farm Zerocell as 2/3 people parties - by performing the role of lurer + devo

'''Disclaimer:'''

Personally I have not played much of IG or Meister other than as Zerocell lurer.

If you are looking for more information about the class itself (skills, levelling etc.), suggest first looking at some of the other amazing guides in [[User Guides]]

For more information on the Map, Monsters in Zerocell (such as access quest etc..), please take a look at [[Chapter 1]]

== How it works ==
The aim is to reach as high % medium resist as possible - as all the monsters in Zerocell are medium size.

With a high enough % medium resist, you will be nearly unkillable allowing you to Lure effectively.

This is currently possible using 2 classes - Imperial Guard and Meister. Personally, I feel Imperial Guard is more effectively since you can keep other DPS alive via Devo (but Meister could be made to work as well)

Here is the build for both classes (this build aims to minimize cost. Optimizations on this build is definitely possible)

TIP: Try using 1 hour version of the consumable where available, so that it aligns with the 1 hour Map entry buff (and you don't have to remember to re-buff mid way)

== Play Style ==
As Imperial Guard here are the key priorities / things to keep in mind

# As lurer, make sure run in front / ahead of party members to get aggro of the monsters. With 96% resist you are nearly immortal.
# If you are playing duo party - make sure the DPS is always Devo-ed Dispell removes Devo. So when facing mobs, I typically just turbo spam devo on the DPS
# If you are playing larger parties - be careful how many people you have devo-ed This build doesn't have as much of a max HP as other Devo focussed builds. You might not be able to have more than 2 party members in your Devo
# {{#skill:5257}} significantly reduces the incoming damage. Make sure to keep it up when available (since it can get dispell-ed). Additionally, since devo depends on the reductions of the person being devo-ed, suggest other party members reach atleast 40-45% reduction (using Alice Card etc.)
# Keep other buffs up such as {{#skill:2313}}, {{#skill:2315}}, {{#skill:2318}}, {{#skill:2325}}, {{#skill:5256}}

P.S. I have not played lurer with Meister, but I'd imagine most of the above remains the same; minus the devo; with other class specific buffs
