Fuka's Serious Guide for FS Cardinal

THIS GUIDE HAS CHEAP BUILDS (will have some late game ones latter)

About the guide

I am making this because there is no other guides and people ask on Discord if there is a Full Support (FS) guide every now and then.

Here you will find builds on the cheaper side. Maybe I/someone else will bring a more end game build. (probably not me, as I haven't tested other stuff yet and most likely won't because the builds in this guide are sufficient for basically any map)

This is supposed to be more of a educational guide as you can mix and match different equipment according to your budget.

No, don't follow this guide if Cardinal is you first and only class. This build is supposed to play around other people so you won't be able to do stuff by yourself.

What is a FS Cardinal?

You basically buff everyone and don't die. You can tank most places as you have resistances, high HP and %MaxHP healing with Renovatio / Mediale Votum

How deep is it?

No.

Because I am not that knowledgeable either.

Overview

Consumables

- Brilliant Protection Scroll (23204) for DEF/MDEF

- Infinity Drink (23475) so your skills aren't interrupted

- Small Life Potion (14534) HP Regeneration (probably not)

- Small Mana Potion (23203) SP Regeneration (probably not)

- Mental Potion (14600) SP and SP Consumption (probably not)

- Almighty (12883) Some HP and ASPD (probably not)

- Limited Power Booster (14766) for ASPD (probably not)

- Red Booster (12796) for ASPD (probably not)

- Enhanced ASPD Potion (12684) for ASPD (probably not)

- Guyak Pudding (12710) for movement speed

- [Bound] Token of Siegfried (6316) We take care of everyone, but who takes care of us?

- Blue Gemstone (717) people may get annoyed if you don't have these

- Yggdrasil Berry (607) for desperate times

- Holy Water (523) for Aspersio

If you are lazy like me:

- The One Potion (50035)

Some Stats

Most of the stats from the next table are NOT REALLY necessary. You can have a little bit less and be fine. If you go to places with high damage and don't have instant cast, I recommend using Infinity Drink (23475) or The One Potion (50035) so your Reparatio doesn't get interrupted.

Stat	How much you need	Explanation
Attack Speed (ASPD)	193	Reduces animation time to help with spamming skills and recovering AP using Dilectio Heal / Benedictum / Religio
Variable Cast Time (%VCT)	100%	It will help you if you don't want to use Infinity Drink (23475) or The One Potion (50035) every time in dangerous places.
Variable Cast Time (Stat VCT)	530 points	An alternative for %VCT. For that you should use the following equation: 530 = Dex*2 + Int. Like %VCT this is easily achievable, but the cost is higher as you will probably need Almighty Shadow Pendant (24340) / Almighty Shadow Earring (24339) combo.
After Cast Delay (ACD)	94%	Reduces time to cast another skill, so it helps with spamming.
Fixed Cast Time (FCT)	1.5s	Most skills have 1.5s FCT, but you can have 2s that can help with Convenio / Renovatio / Reparatio It will help you if you don't want to use Infinity Drink (23475) or The One Potion (50035) every time in dangerous places.

More Stats

Stat	Points	Priority	Note
STR	1-50	Somewhat Useless	You can put more in here if you want to carry more stuff like a billion gems idk
AGI	90-130	Primary	More ASPD
VIT	130	Primary	1M HP dream
INT	90 or 120	Primary	For Vicious Mind Aura (19439) %VCT reduction and some MDEF.
DEX	1 or 90-120	Useless or Primary	If you go for %VCT ignore this stat. If you go for stat VCT put points here.
LUK	80-100	Secondary	Helps with Curse status. You need to have at least 100 combined (base+extra) (need confirmation) or have 0 LUK (Some cards subtract LUK). If you have the patience to use Blessing every time, ignore this stat.

Traits

Trait	Points	Note
POW	0	No
STA	100	RES to tank more
WIS	100	MRES to tank more
SPL	0	No
CON	0	No
CRT	Rest	More Healing

Equipments

For now I have 2 builds for you. First one is the main build which is more generic and second one is more specific for Constellation Tower, but can be used anywhere (you have to be more careful in end game places like Depth 1/2).

As you will see, some equipment/enchantment values will be a bit vague/loose. I wrote it that way, because you will have to balance, mainly, ASPD and %VCT. So if you get a good %VCT enchant in an equipment, you can get another ASPD equipment/enchantment/card.

Main Build

Slot	Equipment	Enchantment	Note
Headgear (Top)	+10 Temporal Circlet (Archbishop) [1] (19480)	Adamantine Lv5 (29105) Temporal Jewel (VIT) Lv 3 (29680) VIT+4 (4743)	Obtainable from Old Glast Heim Challenge Mode Most important is Adamantine Lv5 (29105) as it gives lots of HP and DEF/MDEF. I have Temporal Jewel (VIT) Lv 2 (29679) and STR+1 (4700) on mine lul.
Headgear (Middle)	Victory Wing Ears [1] (400002)	%ACD %ACD	Obtainable from Amicitia You can enchant it with Joy of Victory (100009) , which can be bought at Muzaszir You will probably get the rest of your %ACD here.
Headgear (Low)	Vicious Mind Aura (19439)		Obtainable from Bioresearch Laboratory's MVP (Usually cheap) Combos with Fallen Warrior Manteau [1] (20749) Gives lots of %VCT and %ACD
Armor	+9 VIT Soutane [1] (15399)	VIT Blessing (310078) MaxHP+5% (4900) or VIT+8 (4747) MaxHP+5% (4900) or VIT+8 (4747)	Obtainable from Odin's Past You can follow this page to enchant it. IIRC %HP is better, but does it really matter?
Weapon	+11 Rubber Hammer [2] (16099)	%VCT or %Heal Effectiveness	Obtainable from (einbech 151, 251) Gives 10% VCT and 20% ACD! You can follow this page to enchant it. Enchant can give up to 20% VCT! If you have enough %VCT, you can get %Heal Effectiveness or just skip enchanting.
Shield	+11 Illusion Silver Guard [1] (460018)	Rune of Vitality Lv2 (29010) Rune of Vitality Lv2 (29010)	Obtainable from Illusion of Twins +11 is for the enchantment's requirements.
Garment	+10 Fallen Warrior Manteau [1] (20749)		Base version ( Fallen Warrior Manteau (20748) ) obtainable from Bio 5: The Bed of Honor (Nightmare Biolab)'s MVPs. You have to transform it into the slotted version. (transformation process in the same page) Gives good ASPD, some neutral resist.
Shoes	+11 [C] Hero Boots-LT [1] (470094)	Don't even mind looking	Base version Ancient Hero Boots [1] (22171) from Doil or Bioresearch_Laboratory's MVP. You have to transform 2 times. Ancient Hero Boots [1] (22171) into Great Hero Boots [1] (22238) into Hero Boots-LT [1] (470094) . You can see this process here. This will give you good FCT, really good resistances and some %VCT/%ACD.
Accessory (Right)	Safety Pendant B [1] (32249) or Safety Pendant R [1] (32248)		There are 4 possible combinations. See what you need between %VCT and ASPD and choose. All possible combos give %ACD and FCT.

Secret Build (WIP)

I hate when I say "I'll use Competentia" and people just ignore, go away and then complain. That's why I started thinking about this build.

Shadow Gear

You will use Eden's Advanced Paradise. It cost 230 Eden Coins to buy all pieces.

It gives 15% ACD and 10% VCT and 7% ASPD. REALLY cheap when compared to the Shadow Gears you would have to make.

Pet

Wouldn't bother getting one

• Blue Moon Loli Ruri Egg (9140)

What everyone should know, but sometimes go unnoticed

Shout out to Madame Celery for the good general tips guide for the MuhRO server (Madame Celery's Guide to MuhRO)

There you can find general equipment progression, level up spots suggestions, what to farm and where, what is a Refinement Ticket and how to get it, some notable cards that I definitely didn't look to make the card section of this guide.

You can use the refinement tickets in the Hero Boots-LT [1] (470094) transformation and refinement of basically all equipment from the builds in this guide.
