== Melee Autospell (Leveling, WIP) ==
[[File:Autospell SN.jpg|thumb|Melee Autospell Super Novice in the [[Geffen Magic Tournament]] Instance.]]
The main inspirations are two awesome Super Novices that pioneered the build: '''Shin Chan''' and '''Yami Reborn'''. The Melee Autospell is an early-game leveling build that is quite cheap to build, focused mainly on dealing Neutral Element magic damage from the Noblesse, Imperial and Grace Magic Sets, which enables autocasting Psychic Wave when autoattacking. It is a jack-of-all-trades kind of build, having a little bit of everything from the three other builds in this guide.
=== Stats ===
AGI and INT are the most important stats. This enables the autospells to proc often and deal as much damage as possible


== Hybrid (Work in progress) ==
[[File:Mage HN .jpg|thumb|Mage build Hyper Novice treading carefully in the Ancient Factory.]]
[[File:Mage HN .jpg|thumb|Placeholder screenshot.]]
'''(Description WIP)''' - The late-game Hybrid build combines the best of both worlds. While it doesn't have access to AP skills, it more than makes up in versatility, especially in certain places where both physical and magical attacks are required.

| style="background-color: #ADD8E6; text-align: center;" colspan="4" | '''Super Novice'''
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=48 |skill=Double Attack|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:19}}
|8-10
|4
|Adds a chance of attacking twice - 50% chance at level 10. This makes damage output a little more stable, lessening the reliance on the Earthquake proc from the Faceworm Queen's Leg.
|Prerequisite for Fireball.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=50 |skill=Steal|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:17}}
|5
|6-10
|Steal items from one target. Prerequisite for Hiding.
|Deals decent Fire damage in a 5x5 AoE around the target and has a quick cast time. Very useful in taking out Earth and Undead enemies and good in the very early game.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=51 |skill=Hiding|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:10}}
|1
|1
|Causes the player to become invisible, but unable to move. Use this to escape a losing battle. It is useless against Insect and Demon race and Boss monsters. Prerequisite for Tunnel Drive.
|Reveals enemies around you for a short duration. Prerequisite for Sightrasher.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=52 |skill=Envenom|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:14}}
|3
|Prerequisite for Detoxify. Poison-element melee poke that has a chance to cause Poison status.
|-
|{{Skill List |id=53 |skill=Detoxify|simple=yes}}
|1
|Detoxifies poisoned enemies. Since Archbishops don't have a skill that cures Poison, Thief Classes are (usually) too busy doing their thing and some players may forget to bring Green Herbs, you can use this to get rid of the Poison.
|-
|{{Skill List |id=6 |skill=Provoke|simple=yes}}
|5
|5
|Mainly used as a prerequisite for Endure. You can also use this to lure bad and scary monsters to you, if your insults and middle finger succeed.
|Prerequisite for Frost Diver.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=8 |skill=Endure|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:15}}
|1
|1
| Prevents your character from flinching due to being hit (up to 7 hits). Level 1 is more than enough to escape a losing battle, as higher levels add only duration and MDEF, not the number of hits you can sustain before flinching.
|Prerequisite for Storm Gust.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=22 |skill=Divine Protection|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:20}}
|5
|Prerequisite for Blessing and Angelus. Reduces damage from Demon and Undead race enemies.
|-
|{{Skill List |id=34 |skill=Blessing|simple=yes}}
|10
|Raises a target's STR, INT and DEX. More INT means stronger autospell damage and more DEX makes you land your hits more, which means more autospell procs.
|-
|{{Skill List |id=27 |skill=Warp Portal|simple=yes}}
|4
|4
|Warps up to 8 players to your save point and 3 other spots of choice. Consumes 1 Blue Gemstone per use. Use /memo to add a spot.
|Prerequisite for Thunderstorm and Jupitel Thunder.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=25 |skill=Pneuma|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:21}}
|1
|1
|A very useful skill that makes ranged physical attacks miss in a 3x3 area. Some powerful MVP attacks, such as Hell's Judgement, can be blocked by this.
|Prerequisite for Lord of Vermillion.
Note that Safety Wall and Pneuma can't be within a 3x3 area of each other. You can use this skill to prevent some monsters (e.g. Hibram, Magaleta) from casting Safety Wall.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=35 |skill=Cure|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:11}}
|1
|1
|Cures Blind, Confuse and Silence.
|Prerequisite for Jupitel Thunder. A cute little Ghost element poke with a tiny AoE (3x3 around the target).
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=10 |skill=Sight|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:16}}
|1
|1
|Prerequisite for Sightrasher.
|Prerequisite for Earth Spike.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=20 |skill=Lightning Bolt|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:9}}
|1
|5-10
|Prerequisite for Sightrasher.
|Compensates for the Super Novice's very low SP pool.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=16 |skill=Stone Curse|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:28}}
|1
|3-10
|Prerequisite for Earth Spike.
|Mainly for self-healing. Also helpful in healing teammates.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=12 |skill=Safety Wall|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:29}}
|10
|10
|Creates a barrier on the ground that blocks melee physical attacks. You can use this to protect your teammates or to protect yourself if you're starting to get mobbed.
|The increased movement speed and AGI means you'll be more mobile and be able to evade and/or escape attacks easily.
You may combine this with Quagmire to further reduce the mobs' AGI and DEX, making you harder to hit and making the wall last even longer.
 
Safety Wall also blocks Hell's Judgement at melee range (1-4 cells from the enemy).
Finally, Safety Wall and Pneuma can't be cast within a 3x3 area of each other. That means if there's an annoying monster (e.g. Kiel-D01, Hibram, Magaleta) that's casting Pneuma and preventing your teammates from doing ranged physical damage, just cast this skill right next to those mobs and they won't be able to protect themselves from ranged physical attacks.
 
Consumes 1 Blue Gemstone for each wall created, not the number of times the skill is cast.
|-
|-
| style="background-color: #FFFFCC; text-align: center;" colspan="4" | '''Expanded Super Novice'''
|{{#Skill:22}}
|5
|Prerequisite for Blessing. Reduces damage from Demon and Undead race enemies.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=210 |skill=Snatcher (Gank)|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:34}}

|Grants STR, INT and DEX bonuses. Very useful buff.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=213 |skill=Tunnel Drive|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:24}}
|2
|Moving while hiding makes escaping or positioning for a raid easier.
|-
|{{Skill List |id=211 |skill=Steal Coin (Mug)|simple=yes}}
|4
|Steals zeny from an enemy. Higher levels means higher levels of success. This will draw the aggression of the enemy, because apparently theft is bad even for bad guys and monsters.
|-
|{{Skill List |id=212 |skill=Back Stab|simple=yes}}
|2
|Usable only when facing the enemy's back. Causes physical damage that never misses, but it will make the enemy look back at you very angrily because they hate backstabbers.
|-
|{{Skill List |id=213 |skill=Raid (Sightless Mind)|simple=yes}}
|1
|1
|Requires being hidden before use. Mainly for supportive purposes, by boosting your own damage or your party's overall damage. Non-boss enemies receive 30% more physical and magic damage and boss enemies receive 15% physical and magic damage for 10 seconds.
|Essentially an improved Sight skill. Deals Holy Element magic damage to revealed enemies.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=72 |skill=Status Recovery|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:26}}
|1
|1
|Cures Stun, Frozen, Stone, Stasis and White Imprison.
|Save weight, money, inventory space and the grind for a Creamy Card (or the zeny to buy it)!

|{{Skill List |id=81 |skill=Sightrasher|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:12}}
|1
|Optional
|Utility skill that deals Fire element magic damage and pushes enemies away. Requires Sight to be active before use. Use this to push back enemies away from you or party member/s getting mobbed to death. This is a very effective means of escape when combined with Quagmire.
|Requires Level 7 Napalm Beat and Level 5 Soul Strike. While it's optional, it is still a very handy skill and can be a life-saver in a pinch. Aside from blocking physical attacks at melee range, it can also prevent armor from getting broken from melee Armor Break attacks and shadow equipment from getting stripped. It can also block attacks reflected by Max Pain at melee range too!
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=90 |skill=Earth Spike|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:43}}

|Prerequisite for Heaven's Drive. Essentially an Earth Bolt.
|Prerequisite for Vulture's Eye.

|5

| style="background-color: #FFFFCC; text-align: center;" colspan="4" | '''Expanded Super Novice'''

|Bombards an area with meteors, dealing Fire Element damage.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=74 |skill=Magnificat|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:89}}
|Optional
|1 or 10
|Optional. Doubles the caster and party's SP Recovery rate for a duration. If you have SP consumption issues and SP-healing items are too expensive, then add some points here. When combined with the skill "Increase SP Recovery", SP should be much less of a problem.
|Deals Water Element damage and a chance to cause Frozen status over a large area while knocking around enemies. Lower levels means lower damage but much higher chances of freezing while higher levels means higher damage but much lower chances of freezing. Keep it at level 1 for crowd control purposes. Max it to level 10 if more damage is desired.
 
'''Notice: The skill has a tendency to push enemies to the upper right at the default orientation.'''
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=70 |skill=Sanctuary|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:84}}
|7
|5-10
|Besides healing party members, this can also be used to heal yourself while tanking in case the main support/s is either disabled, too busy or too far from you.
|An improved version of Lightning Bolt with an added knockback and removed cooldown.
At level 7, it heals 777HP per second. Higher levels aren't necessary as they add only duration. Consumes 1 Blue Gemstone per use.
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=75 |skill=Gloria|simple=yes}}
|{{#Skill:85}}
|Optional
|10
|Adds 30 LUK, which means more CRIT, ATK and MATK.
|This is a larger and more powerful version of Thunderstorm with an added Blind effect. It can combo with Storm Gust. Storm Gust pushes mobs away but guarantees they'll be not too far apart while they're chasing you, which is a good opportunity to blast them away with this skill.  
|-
|-
|{{Skill List |id=5075 |skill=Breakthrough|simple=yes}}

|Restores 1000 HP and 350 SP per second for 20 seconds for a grand total of 20,000 HP and 7,000 SP. Affects self and all party members within a 31x31 area. When a party needs help to get out of a bad situation, this can help quite a lot. Beware of the ridiculously long 5-minute cooldown, so use this wisely. Very wisely.
|Prerequisite for Quagmire. Use this skill to reveal and damage hidden enemies that are a good distance away.
|-
|-

|Optional
|Provides additional Weapon ATK and MATK to you and the whole party.
|-
|{{#Skill:74}}
|5
|Doubles SP Regeneration of the caster and the party. When combined with the skill Increase SP Recovery, SP consumption becomes almost a non-issue, which means less zeny spent, big weight savings and most importantly, very little to no fear of spamming spells.
|-
|{{#Skill:248}}
|Optional
|Adds up to 2000HP and increases Holy resistance by up to 50%. Get this when more HP is needed.
|-
|{{#Skill:249}}
|Optional
|If survival and not dying too much are one of the top priorities, get this skill, preferably maxed.
|-
|{{#Skill:5076}}

|Save weight, money, inventory space, the grind for a Creamy Card and crafting Teleport Shadow Armors! So much zeny saved in the long run!
|This is one of the best weapons for this build. It gives decent attack and a good amount of MATK. When physically attacking, there's a chance to transform into the Faceworm Queen. When that happens, physical attacks will have a very high chance of casting Level 1 Earthquake. Unlike the article in iROwiki, Earthquake deals Neutral element damage '''BASED ON MATK''', not ATK. Level 1 Earthquake deals three hits of 300% '''MATK''' in an 11x11 area around you. The Earthquake proc will be your main source of damage.

|Requires Level 7 Napalm Beat and Level 5 Soul Strike. While it's optional, it is still a very handy skill and can be a life-saver in a pinch. Aside from blocking physical attacks at melee range, it can also prevent armor from getting broken from melee Armor Break attacks and shadow equipment from getting stripped. It can also block attacks reflected by Max Pain at melee range too!
|The best shield the Super Novice could ever have - gives 20% resistance to all elements except Neutral. For this build, '''don't equip a shield unless it's necessary'''. Super Novices suffer a BIG attack speed penalty (-10 ASPD) when equipping shields and it will make your offense a lot weaker.

|Rod
|[[Eden Academy]], Base Level 100 and above
|If better rods like the ones listed below are still out of reach, this humble rod will still serve you well, even beyond level 200. It deals more damage than a +15 Crimson Rod and almost the same damage as a +15 Rutilus Stick-OS with the MATK +15% enchant.
|-
|-
|The strategy will be based on my version of the Melee Autospell build.
|{{#item:1680}}
The playstyle is fairly simple - just point, click and watch the monsters get quaked, burned, frozen, electrocuted, Psychic Wave'd and more! Like the Meteor Strike Melee above, this build is more suited to solo play, but it can still be good in a party because of its well-rounded mix of offense, survivability and support.
|Rod
 
|[[Illusion]]
<u>When soloing:</u>
|A strong wand that gives After-Cast Delay reduction at +11, becoming even stronger with enchants. Try to get the MATK +15% enchant. The Paradise Super Novice Wand you get for FREE deals almost the same damage as this at +15. However, it does have its advantages. The Paradise SN Wand has no slots while this has 2, and it doesn't require Super Novice Soul Link to use, unlike the Welding Wand and Illusion Thorn Staff of Darkness.
 
Even if your gears aren't the best, this build can still solo dungeons and some instances quite well - just don't lure too many monsters. Use your arsenal of skills in order to help you fight and defend against monsters more effectively. Use Safety Wall in order to protect yourself from attacks, especially if you're starting to get mobbed. If there are too many, cast Endure, then cast Sightrasher and follow up with Quagmire for a quick escape. Heal, rebuff and go back again until the mobs are wiped out. With good enough gears, this build can deal with some mobs and MVPs with Reflect Shield, like Hard Amdarais. By endowing the weapon with the element of said mob or MVP (e.g. Shadow for Hard Amdarais via Cursed Water), the damage dealt is very low, resulting in miniscule or manageable from Reflect Shield. The barrage of autospells does most of the damage.
 
 
<u>When in a party:</u>
 
You'll usually be the secondary DPS and secondary support but on a few occasions, secondary tank. Soften enemies that come from the sides and rear so that the main DPSs can more easily kill the mobs. Help the main support by providing extra heals, buffs and crowd control. The high AGI of this build also grants a bit of tanking ability - you can help the main tank with luring enemies to the party. Just be aware of the Flee penalty. If there are 2 monsters attacking you, each additional monster will reduce your max Flee by 10%. That means if there are 12 monsters attacking you, your actual Flee is '''ZERO'''.

<!---
[[File:High Flee when Naked.png|300px|right|thumb|Even without a single piece of equipment and shadow gears, Flee is over 500 with just simple buffs.]]--->
 
The Flee Tank is an early-game support-focused build that is quite cheap to build. It is mainly used to lure mobs in Gramps 85-175 and 175-200 to a lesser extent while providing decent support. Upon becomong a Hyper Novice, one must choose between going Physical or Magical, with optional Flee Tank characteristics by raising CON.

The set can be further boosted with an {{Item List |id=550030|slots=2|item=Illusion Thorn Staff of Darkness|simple=yes}} (or Illusion TSOD for short) but it requires {{Skill Info|class=Soul Linker|id=451|skill=Supernovice Spirit}} to use.
For this level range, try to get a +10 Hood, +10 Shawl and +10 Illusion TSOD, then refine the weapon to +12 so you'll get most of the benefits without spending too much Zeny and dealing with too much RNG Minorous-poop. Once you're ready, refine both the Hood and Shawl to +11 and enchant them both with {{Item List |id=29100|item=Spellbound Nive Lv1}} or {{Item List |id=29101|item=Spellbound Nive Lv2}}

|Ignoring the OS weapons bonuses, these three are pretty much the same. They boost magic damage, especially at high refines. Choose which one looks good without an upper headgear costume. To easily get them to +10, refine them to +4 and buy a couple of {{Item List |id=35160|item=ET insta-polish}} for 3 {{Item List |id=32417|item=Endeavor Tokens}} a piece, because it will refine them to +7 - 10 at random.

It is highly recommended to refine it to at least +12 to easily get the Dress' maximum bonus, which requires a total refine rate of +23. This is made relatively easy thanks to {{Item List |id=35551|item=Vintage Armor Polish}}, obtained by purchasing it from the Master of Coin at the Main Office's 2nd floor.

A good upgrade over the Crimson Rod at high refines. Despite the Level 170 requirement, Super Novices with the SN Spirit buff can equip this at level 96. Even if the buff expires, it will remain equipped unless when logging off or dying and switching maps. Dying on the same map will not unequip - use Siegfried's Token or ask a someone to revive and the weapon will still be equipped.

|A very useful skill that makes ranged physical attacks miss in a 3x3 area. Some powerful MVP attacks, such as Hell's Judgement, can be blocked by this.
|[[Amicitia Dungeon]]
Note that Safety Wall and Pneuma can't be within a 3x3 area of each other. You can use this skill to prevent some monsters (e.g. Hibram, Magaleta) from casting Safety Wall. When facing a mix of melee and ranged enemies, should you decide to cast Pneuma, make sure to place it in the cell behind you so that ranged physical DPS classes can hit the melee mobs attacking you.
|A level 5 weapon that boosts {{Skill Info|class=Soul Linker|id=5456|skill=Jupitel Thunderstorm}} and {{Skill Info|class=Soul Linker|id=5455|skill=Meteor Storm Buster}} damage. Try refining this to +8.

|A strong rod that gives After-Cast Delay reduction at +11, becoming even stronger with enchants. Try to get the MATK +15% enchant. The Paradise Super Novice Wand you get for FREE deals almost the same damage as this at +15. However, it does have its advantages.

|{{Skill List |id=12 |skill=Safety Wall|simple=yes}}
|{{Item List2 |id=24318 |item=Super Novice Shadow Shield |simple=yes}}
|10
|Shadow Gear
|A very versatile skill with many uses. Creates a barrier on the ground that blocks melee physical attacks. You can use this to protect your teammates or to enhance your tanking abilities.
|[[High Rank Shadow Gear]]
If Flee and Perfect Dodge aren't enough, this skill will enable you to tank larger groups of monsters and even a few MVPs. With your high Flee, <u>Safety Wall tanking with this build is easier compared to other classes</u> ('''disputable'''), as a missed attack won't count as a hit and won't reduce the wall's durability.
|Highly recommended to get this, as it provides a lot of nice bonuses depending on which skills are leveled. Max {{Skill Info|class=Soul Linker|id=43|skill=Owl's Eye}} to reduce Variable Casting Time.
You may combine this with Quagmire to further reduce the mobs' AGI and DEX, making you even harder to hit and making the wall last even longer.
 
Safety Wall also blocks Hell's Judgement at melee range (1-4 cells from the enemy).
Finally, Safety Wall and Pneuma can't be cast within a 3x3 area of each other. That means if there's an annoying monster (e.g. Kiel-D01, Hibram, Magaleta) that's casting Pneuma and preventing your teammates from doing ranged physical damage, just cast this skill right next to those mobs and they won't be able to protect themselves from ranged physical attacks.
 
Consumes 1 Blue Gemstone for each wall created, not the number of times the skill is cast.

|Garment
|If your headgear isn't overupgraded, this is a nice choice. Gives 80SP and 5% more SP recovery if refine rate is 4 or less. Otherwise, it gives 40SP.
|When paired with a Dame of Sentinel card at level 200+ and with at least 120 Base INT, Ghost element damage is increased. Good for Napalm Vulcan Strike.

|Currently the best in slot garment card. Best paired with the armor card {{Item List |id=300308 |item=Meyer Lugenburg |simple=yes}} for a 5% all property magic damage bonus. Compared to the specialized elemental garment cards above, it deals a very teeny-tiny bit less damage (around 2%), but it is made up by boosting all elements significantly at the cost of reduced Neutral Element resistance. Increases all property magic damage by 5%, and is further increased by 4% every 2 refine rate. Try to +12 the garment this card is slotted into.

This build works best with a partner or in a party.


<u>When soloing:</u>
===Tips and Tricks===


This build's soloing capability is limited due to its meager damage. It is better to go for a Melee build (see above) and sacrifice a bit of Flee for significantly increased damage. With high Flee, up to 6 enemies (40% flee penalty) can be tanked without much problems, though that number will vary depending on the enemies' Hit rate. You may get Super Novice Spirit and use a {{Item List |id=18666 |item=CD in Mouth |simple=yes}} to enhance your autoattacks, but beware of the After-Cast Delay that comes after each autocast. In case you're being mobbed, cast Sightrasher to push away mobs, then cast Quagmire to slow down the mobs in order to escape.
{| class="mw-collapsible wikitable mw-collapsed" style="width:100%"
|-
! style="background-color:#ADD8E6; color:Black;  width: 100% " |Strategy (WIP)
|-
|The Mage Build Hyper Novice is quite a challenge to level up due to Super Novice magic spells dealing adorable damage unless there's heavy investment involved. However, upon becoming Hyper Novice, the damage increases exponentially, and that's when its true power starts showing. <!--- This strategy is focused more on a modestly built Hyper Novice with very little to no consumables used even in the thick of battle.  
'''This is subject to change depending on the market:''' As of the time of this writing, my idea of a "modestly built" Hyper Novice has the full Illusion Morpheus Set with the hood and shawl both at +9, a Paradise Super Novice Wand, a +9 Grace Super Novice Robe, a +9 Grace Magic Boots and a Novice Shield. --->




<u>When partnered with a DPS:</u>
<u>Super Novice:</u>


You'll double-duty as support and tank. First, the party window must be open at all times with the lock function activated and with buffs shown (type @showbuffs). Protect your partner and keep him/her alive at all costs. Buff, heal and cast Safety Wall or Pneuma on your partner and yourself when necessary, but be aware of your very low SP and the Cast Delay after casting some skills. Lure, but not too much - be aware of the Flee penalty. It's a 10% reduction of your max Flee for every additional monster if 2 are already attacking you. When 12 or more monsters are attacking you, your actual Flee is '''ZERO, '''no matter how much Flee you have. If you run into the unfortunate situation of luring too many monsters, hope that your partner is nearby and not busy or disabled. If not, cast Sightrasher to push the mobs away, then cast Quagmire to slow them down. This combo will either guarantee an escape, buy some time, or make killing mobs easier. When a particularly powerful monster (including MVPs) is aiming for your partner, draw the monster away. Make sure it is ALWAYS aggro'd on you, and let your partner kill it.
*Focus more on hit-and-run tactics by leveling up quick-cast skills like Fire Ball, Fire Wall and Soul Strike.  
*Safety Wall will be your wall of safety in dangerous situations but it will cost a lot of skill points.
*DEX will be your primary stat, very closely followed by INT, so Variable Casting Time will be reduced.
*Due to the Super Novice having absolutely atrocious HP and SP pools until level 99, your primary survival stat is AGI, not VIT. All the VIT and DEF in the world won't do much if you have a mere 700 HP. It's better to completely evade attacks instead of taking a hit with such low HP.
*Be very judicious in your movements and casting. You'll find yourself running out of SP very quickly or dying in just a single CRIT attack from Orc Zombies if you're not careful!
*When in a party... I have writer's block!




<u>When in a party:</u>
<u>Ex. Super Novice</u>


This time, you'll be both secondary support and tank, as your party is likely to have a main tank and at least one Arch Bishop (AB) as the main support. You'll be helping out the AB, being the secondary source of heals and buffs, providing additional Safety Walls and Pneumas and crowd control with Sightrasher and Quagmire. While doing support, you're also going to tank. While the main tank is luring monsters from the front, your job is to keep the monsters coming from the sides and rear from reaching and doing damage to your party, especially the main support/s and DPS, moreso if they're squishy. If the main tank is a Sura, there might be a few occasions that you'll have to provide cover while Steel Body is being recast. In case the main tank is disabled or has internet issues, you'll be the substitute. It is somewhat similar to when partnered with a DPS, except it's easier as you now have a whole party to more easily dispose of the monsters you lured while the main support heals.
When soloing, I get writer's block!


In a party setting, You'll be the secondary support, providing crowd control and extra buffs and heals. Quagmire, Storm Gust and Sightrasher will be your main crowd control skills. Once you see the tank and its lures approaching, cast Quagmire on the mobs to slow them down in order for the DPSes more easily dispose of them. Also watch out if the tank lured too many or if there are monsters coming from the side and rear - use Sightrasher to push them away or Storm Gust to freeze them in place. From time to time, you may also buff your teammates, provide additional heals with your cute Heals.


<u>As the main tank:</u>


High Flee does most of the tanking work, not the Safety Wall spam or the "Steel Body on death" after accumulating over 5 billion EXP. Safety Wall is mainly used as an extra precautionary measure. However, in situations where you're surrounded by large numbers of enemies or when facing enemies with really high or increased Hit rates, like MVPs that have the skill "Power Up" (red lightning aura), Safety Wall spam is the way to go. As much as possible, going Steel Body must be avoided unless it is absolutely necessary, like in [[Tomb of the Fallen|Bio5]] or when fighting enemies with powerful magic spells like Nightmare Amon Ra's Meteor Storm spam and green aura Dracula and his overpowered Psychic Wave. If you die or if Steel Body expires, you can relog to regain the "Steel Body on death".
<u>Hyper Novice</u>
WORK IN PROGRESS!!! Break the Rule of Er and destroy all who bring you down. Don't let them go, let them gravitate to you. Devastate their mental health, freeze them to the core, shock them with baleful thunder and call forth the wrath of the skies until they're no more. until they're no more. Beat the already dead horse by summoning the wrath of the skies and command the earth to swallow it whole, driving them down to a place worse than the deepest depths of the darkest hell.
