Lxna's Elemental Master of Puppets Build Guide: Difference between revisions

== Introduction ==

Hello everybody! I'm Lxna, I have played ragnarok for many years but this year I started pushing myself into getting better at the game, understanding mechanics, and helping others so we always have a community to grow together. I started MuhRo around August 24, and since then i've been growing stronger, farming and making some friends on my journey. I have started as an Imperial Guard but I had to make a new character because I was having trouble farming late end game maps, because there's lots of holy immune mobs.  

This is because:

* And all of that with the case that we can choose the element of our burst skill at any type, almost free;

Cons:

* As a mage class, at the start you will be very squishy! Go after some resistances/ mresistances asap;

* You will need to do a lot of micro managing during game play. You need to keep track of how many elemental stones do you still have, how many gems are left, etc;

* Your skill bar will be full of skills that you need to use. Few more than others, but it's good to remember each shortcut because speed matters;

=== Skills ===

# Use AOE skill and get closer to use diamond storm + elemental buster combo. This is where our class shines on high dps. You'll need to play like this in Biosphere B and higher maps.

# Party support. If you don't have high enough dps, you'll be as useful providing lan protector and awesome buffs like strinking and spekll enchant. Our class can also give AP to others using xxx, which is very useful when the party wipes mid instance;

=== Traits ===

I've used [[Choi's Guide To Magic]] almost entirely to progress through every phase with very few changes. In every phase i will list the equipments expected to have and the changes made from his guide!

|Shield

|Robe

Moving forward, your main priority is to see where you can reduce your fixed cast time, and your second priority will be increasing your damage output (for now).

You should start progressing through the story to unlock all the maps and instances, and if this is your first character ever you will need to do it, so you can just buy the episode unlock with further characters!

|Head - Top

| [https://wiki.muhro.eu/Equipment_Crafting#EXP_Advisor,_Vesper_Headgear To craft Vesper Helmet]  

Grade it only to C as anything further will not be worth it as we will change our headgear later on.

|-

|Weapon

| You will start your journey on refining and grading equipment with this one. Hopefully it has a refine box, so it's pretty easy to begin and to understand.

|Shield

|Robe

| +11 {{#item:480125}},

+9 {{#item:450267}}

|Shoes

| This will be our first end game item. We only need it grade C for now. Prioritize this along the dim glacier weapon.
