Introduction
The Main focus of this Guide will be about the different early to end-game Gear for Arm Cannon and Triple Laser.
(sadly i m not fond with the melee build hopefully someone writes a guide for it soon)
If you need guidance for lvling you can check out Spike's Guide as Meister and Biolo are very similar to play,
exept you have mado gear support skills and don't have a homunculus.

Mid Game/Late Game
|
Mid/Late Game Lvl 200+
- Now that you've reached lvl 200 a lot of Dungeons/Instances will become a lot easier due to an enormous increase in dmg.
- And you can start farming for some better Gear.
- Your 2 Main goals in mid to late game are to reach instand cast (dex*2 + Int = 530) and getting 65%-70% After Cast delay(ACD for short) to efficiently spam Arm Cannon.
- You can also opt for a budget Spark Blaster build. Tt will initially do a bit more dmg than Arm Cannon but can't be spammed and you can't use your elemental advantage of Cannon Balls.
Mid/Late Game Gear
- Weapons:
- For Arm Cannon There are 3 Weapons that are better than the Eden Weapon atm.
- Armor:
- You have 2 Options for the Armor Slot:
- Cards:

Costume Enchants

- Garment:

End Game
|
End Game Lvl 245+
- At this Point you have 2 Options. You can choose between a "Quality" and a "Full DPS" Build.
- The Quality doesn't require additional buffs like Clementia or Poem of Bragi at the cost of DPS.
Quality Build
|
Quality Build
- Your Goal is to get (DEX*2 + INT = 530), an ACD of 65%-70% and 185-193 ASPD without any other Buffs, while doing enough DPS for most Content and efficient grinding/farming.
- To achieve this you'll need very specific Gear and you need to play around with your Int value a bit. (You can check your cast time with @bs)

Quality Gear
- Garment:
- Probably the most expensive piece of equipment.
Cards*
Shadow Gear
- Since you already have built in def pierce you don t need any shadow gear for it.
- Option 1(A lot cheaper to make)
- Option 2(stronger against res monsters)
- Master shadow Set +10 with Pow/Dex/meister soul Triplelaser
Costume Enchants
- same as in Mid/Late Game exept you might want to use the Reload Stone (Dual) (1000675) if you urgently need the 5% ACD
|
- The Full DPS build can do the Maximum DPS Possible but requires at least Clementia and Poem of Bragi to funktion.
Full DPS Build
|
Full DPS Build
- Your goal here is the same as the Quality build getting (DEX*2 + INT = 530) and 65%-70% ACD and min. 190 -193 ASPD.
- The Key difference is that you get free 30% ACD from Poem of Bragi and 17 DEX and INT from Clementia leaving you with much more freedom.
- You can check your stats with @bs

Triple Laser
|
Triple Laser
- I strongly recommend building towards an Arm Cannon Build first so you can farm the Items required for this build.
- Because this build is not the best for farming large quantities and is more focused on mvp's/Instances.
Stats
- For stats you ll need again Dex*2 + Int = 530.
- You will also need ~185+ ASPD for sufficient spamming.
- And you ll need ~140 crit to bypass crit shield.
- Stats should look somewhat like this:

Gear
- Since i consider this build Endgame I'll only post endgame options here.
- For TL you don t need any ACD to spam it.
Shadow Gear
- Option 1(A lot cheaper to make^^):
- Option 2 (better against res monsters but a lot more expensive^^)
- Shadow Shoes/Armor/Accessorys:
Costume Enchants
- if you re missing out on crit you can also use the crit costumes

Useful Tips
- You can cancel out the Animation of Magnum Break by casting Infrared Scan before or after casting it (you will need more ACDR to do it more efficiently).
- Neutral Barrier can be made smaller if you stand next to a wall
- Shape Shift is very useful against strong fire/earth/wind/water attacks
- Rush Quake is your most important buff/debuff. Not only does it increase your ranged damage by a whopping 50% for 5 minutes long, but it also debuffs the target so it takes 50% more damage from both ranged and melee attacks, which is useful at MvP-ing and in party gameplay.
- (similar to GX's Dark Claw and it even adds up with dark claw)
- Stealth Field sometimes might be useful to cancel Neutral Barrier
- /bingbing /bangbang on a hotkey (use Alt+M keyboard combination to change them) can be used to quickly turn while spamming Front Slide / Back Slide to move really fast (with high enough ACDR it is the fastest way to move in the game)
- Hover can be used to ignore some ground effects like Quagmire
- Weapon Perfection is reason why you will never worry about any size penalties, and it should be always active in battle
- Activation Defense Machine is reason why you may want to choose MRES and WIS over RES and STA
- ABR - Mother Net could be used to help to maintain your HP and SP pools
- Do not underestimate Two-Handed Axe Defending defense bonus
- Arm Cannon absolutely CAN NOT be spammed without instant cast, do not even try it. If you need higher DPS while leveling as Mechanic, try to use Knuckle Boost instead
F.A.Q.
Q: Where to buy Cannon Balls and my MADO-gear stuff?
A: You can find all you will need at Merchant Dealer at Main Office (main_office 60, 63)
Q: I want alternate MADO outfit to not look so boxy! Do I need to buy Alternate Outfit Coupon (50010) ?
A: No. All you need is Emergency Mado Gear (Reinforcement Suit) (100158) , it is usable item which could be bought from Merchant Dealer.
Q: My Manufacture Machine do not work! Please help me!
A: First of all you need Machine Creation Guide (1000352) in your inventory.
Second, you will need all mentioned in guide items in sufficient numbers:
Q: Game is broken! My cardinal gf can't heal me! Agi Up do not affect me!
A: Riding MADO-gear is reason of this. Use Acceleration skill to have second-after-genetic Movement speed in-game.
Q: Does Arm Cannon ignore DEF and RES?
A: Yes and no. Arm Cannon treats them as Soft DEF which is negated from final damage. With millions in damage numbers you won't even notice it. Also Arm Cannon ignores any FLEE.
