Xenon

[royal orchid]

What like he doesn’t solo it already

[tacit spire]

can you explain more?

[royal orchid]

Imagine it like a graph

[dim tinsel]

Def aggro carry for normal vhilla at least

[tacit spire]

ya but why is it exponential compared to other classes? Is it because we have more consistent lines?

[royal orchid]

Were the blue line

We start off weaker per level/stat

Than other classes that are normally popular (green) cuz they’re strong early

But as we gain levels and stats our skills compound and eventually we get stronger than them for the same gear

Our lines are fairly low but our burst is LONG

and we have lots of put down stills

But like take v2 for example- not many classes have vskills where the more mp you have the LONGER the skill is used

So us gaining mp as a PA class actually technically increases our dpm

[tacit spire]

i know what exponential means haha i meant to ask about the factors behind it but thanks for the explanation!

[tacit spire]

isn't maximum damage output a function of lines * damage per line so if we have low line count the damage cap over 2 min will be low too? Unless you're saying V2 contributes enough lines that it overtakes with enough MP.

[royal orchid]

Ah sorry

Didn’t mean to dumb it down too much

[royal orchid]

V1 will always be our main burst dpm skill

V2 has lots of lines but attacks every 4-5s or so

So the longer it stays up the more total lines per minute/2mins yes

And yes dpm will always be lines*damage per line but you have to be careful about where you time gate your measurements due to cooldowns

So one set of classes will have insane lines in 1 minute but only be mediocre in 2 minutes or 3 minutes

Our numbers are pretty good last time I looked at the 3 minute counts, but again we’re weird in that we have a skill with an mp-based duration, and our 1 minute is just ok

So for you at 25k mp, you have a MUCH shorter duration than me at 40k

And we’re both super behind asta at 50

[tacit spire]

how do get so high MP? Lots of pot rolls?

[tacit spire]

it's tough enough getting HP/CDMG/ ATK rolls lol

ah i'm actually at 30k but i'm guessing it's the boss drops that give a good chunk too

[royal orchid]

Yeah pretty much

Esp on accessories

[royal orchid]

Ikr it’s not the kindest mechanic

[royal orchid]

Yeah it adds up a lot

I think I have a solid 4k just from boss sets

[wide slate]

I’ll just be careful when looking at v skill in this sense

The above is in a theoretical world without ds4 and boss with no movement.

This is partially why shadower is so good. Their burst is all within ds4 timing.

So a class that has more line than shadower, but most of their line dont benefit from ds4, meaning it’s a much less valuable line.

1000 line all fit within ds4 is better than 1100 line that doesnt all fit in ds4 timing.

Compounding that on top of boss disappearing a lot, such as in Damien / Will, any time ur v2 isnt hitting him coz he disappears = lost line.

[royal orchid]

Listen to @wide slate , Lucas’s wisdom is not to be underestimated ❤️

[wide slate]

I look forward to xenon 6th job

U guys turn into like a humanoid that fly n shoot stuff. Looks so cool

[royal orchid]

Mp is important

[onyx osprey]

That’s why I love my shadower. And the cooldowns line up with ds4 so you are always bursting as ds4 comes back online

[tacit spire]

I think mobile doesn’t let you fly? Only the extra lasers from what I’ve seen in kmsm 😞

[wide slate]

Oh dang. That’s a bummer

I wanted to see u guys fly

[tidal anvil]

with dice 3 i feel like shouldn't have survivability

[royal orchid]

What do you mean, you look plenty survivable XD

[tidal anvil]

That's why I am confused 😂

[royal orchid]

lol well being a will tank is a little different XDD

[tacit spire]

Do you guys use snipe 10 times at the start of every boss before omega blaster or skip the first rotation?

[royal orchid]

Yes, alllllways make sure you stack to 10

Unless of course the boss is gunna be dead in 3 seconds anyway, in which case- have fun, blast away

[tacit spire]

does that throw off ds4 timing or the team's stun timing?

[royal orchid]

Depends- often it’s best to coordinate, just let folks know you can’t burst right away, you need 4-5s

It’s not long and ds4 should last long enough to get the full burst in before it expires

I usually ask shades to count to 5 before splitting

But it depends on the boss you’re dealing with too

[last whale]

Hello!! I have been reading alot of this thread and youtube.
But haven't found an guide for Xenon yet.
Are there any essentials I should look at? (possibly links?)

Thanks alot 🙂

[royal orchid]

I can’t say I know of any myself

@dim tinsel @hasty gull do you guys?

In general xenon is pretty straightforward

We use snipe as our main attack and then our v1 stacks to 10 based on how much we use snipe

And then we have lots of tricks

That’s kinda it XD

[dim tinsel]

uhhh i usually leave it to @hasty gull to say all the xenon basics

but yes like what the @royal orchid says, main skill is snipe. I'd say xenon gets better after you hit 200, because you get your v1 which is the omega blaster skill (#1 dps burst skill for us)

[hasty gull]

Bumping this. Read up on this and ask away if you have any questions

[royal orchid]

I really wish we could pin in here

[hasty gull]

Could probably ask Tsuki or Restore. Since we had some of your advice pinned before

[royal orchid]

Oh that’s true @crisp temple can we get some help with pinning?

[crisp temple]

[hasty gull]

Tyty!

[tidal anvil]

Do yall manual press your v2/fd buffs? Feel like the time lost pressing is better just to put on pet even though it will not line up with v1. My dps feels really lacking rn 😂

[dim tinsel]

i do

just to maximize the fd buff. i dont necessarily line it up with v1

also depends how long your run is though... xenons do better when runs go long since we have lots of DoT skills

[last whale]

I did read 90% of the things on this post, and were very helpful!
Now i am 220 xenon having alot of fun haha

[alpine cairn]

I do the manual too, follow with emergency resupply (set a preset) make it push the energy to 35 instantly!!

[tidal anvil]

1:45:00 harchon
1:57:00 will
Getting smoked by a kanna 10 mil cap lower and cannot hold aggro 🥲
https://www.youtube.com/live/ka3Q5hnhyRI?si=JvBRTa4lb9r8oMFt

Just wanna improve my dps before doing vhilla as a leecher 😂

[dim tinsel]

You probably wanna take off overdrive lol. Nerfs your atk more rather than giving you the buff

Unless you’re def hitting cap even with the nerf

You could also probably do more dps if you used the blue hypogram in archon but im assuming there isnt a bishop so you’re self supporting

Also can’t tell if you use will skill nvm i see it

[last whale]

still not sure if i am using those buffs correctly

i have 4 buffs in one button

[tidal anvil]

Will try 🤝

[last whale]

This is how i use the buff preset

Is that in a correct(?) order?

[royal orchid]

Yes I do

I have that, emergency supply, and amaranth generator together on wheel 1

Very important to really eke out your bursts

[royal orchid]

Your bottom preset do not include the blue buff

That should be on a pet

For preset 2, add the 2 skills from preset 3 into the middle 2

So snipe, hypogram, infantry, v4 should go in 1 preset

Honestly, I don’t know that I’d recommend putting v2 and the 2 energy skills on a preset…haven’t tried that, but it might limit your flexibility a little

[royal orchid]

Yeah dump overdrive, 100%

It’s useless and causes too dramatic a rebound

You end up doing overall about as much as not using it, so it just wastes space and mp

[last whale]

gotcha! Thank u so much

[royal orchid]

Wao fund me papi

Nice gears. 42% ied omg XD

[tidal anvil]

Cannot wait to leech vhilla 😂

[royal orchid]

Aiming for mesos by selling crystals eh

[tidal anvil]

At this point just anything that is not building main 😂

vhilla stone way to expensive

[last whale]

Hi guys, I have been having great time with Xenon.
I was wondering if it would be good to get some mythic MP gears, just for MP

I know other classes almost ignore MP gears until they are done with HP gears, but it seems like Xenon needs to work on MP gears a bit faster

[royal orchid]

MP Is very important for xenon

Our v2 is entirely reliant on it

Absolutely worth investing in MP gear

I get almost 35s of v2 while using all my other skills

That’s a long time

[last whale]

I just cannot figure out when to start investing on MP gears

All i use is mythic Shoulder, CPBbelt, Legendary cape.
I have been focusing on HP gears to necro

I would really appreciate some guidance 🙂

So hard to find stuff about xenon is MSM haha..

[royal orchid]

Cape and belt should almost always be last

Regardless

Top and bottom should be used instead of overall until necro full set (last item of the set)

You’re at a point right now where you should be focusing on good flames and pots for PA and HP

(And cd/ba emblems and lines)

[last whale]

This my current progress

AF kinda low since ima new player

Workin on HAT, Shoe necro currently...
so u saying i should do MP gears after i get some good pot lines, flames on gears right? And after i do all my necro HP gears

[royal orchid]

Yeah cape and belt can wait- shoe/hat/shoulder should be first to necro once they’re lvl 40 and pots/flames should be done on those.

[last whale]

Thanks bro

[last whale]

Hello dear Xenon Gods...
got a quick question again..
do u guys use venom burst?..

[hasty gull]

Yes, nice first activation dmg and the DoT is nice

[potent yoke]

What’s ideal scenario for xenon rebalance? 😬

[dim tinsel]

I think xenon is likely getting a buff overall if following kmsm patch notes

[last whale]

We getting more lines 🙂

I wish they buff the pink rockets tho

So useless

[oblique frigate]

hope we get more lines for omega and snipe

[potent yoke]

Hmmmm……

[hasty gull]

for the most part this is good for us

[potent yoke]

I wonder if we can attack while burst is up now

[last whale]

naw thats PC ms 6th job thing

im just so happy that we can MOVE while burst

[potent yoke]

Moving will be nice.

[last whale]

not sure about the core overload

seems good but now the duration seems shorter... hmm

[hasty gull]

It’s now a good burst instead of consistent dmg over time. The pros is that it’ll line up with DS4 and we don’t get mp locked anymore

[last whale]

that seems very nice indeed

[hasty gull]

Max mp doesn’t matter to us now

[last whale]

i gotta reroll all pots again

(havent worked much on it thankfully)

[hasty gull]

We can’t cheese bosses if we die anymore

[last whale]

i always wanted the V1 to be more compact

[hasty gull]

Yeah I’ll have to reroll my mp % lines

[last whale]

now they give compact + move

[hasty gull]

[last whale]

i think Xenon be great again

[hasty gull]

They love compacting our laser

[last whale]

hehehehe

760 hits for V2 as well

amazing

i always wanted the compact laser and move whenever i did Hmag and Hdam

always!!! click V1, they fly

sigh..

[hasty gull]

5 sec down to 1.5 reactivation is niceee

[hasty gull]

I want to see how wonky it’s gonna loook LOL

[last whale]

ima spam left and right button

and see how its gonna look like

hahahaha

its gonna look like this

[hasty gull]

Also the fact we don’t have to get stacks to use it is sooooo good

No more missing DS4 tryna build stacks

[last whale]

i always attacked 10 times on random AF field and go in bossing right away hahahaha

Xenon life just got 100x better

now, msm, give us better iFrame

[hasty gull]

Yeah likewise. Feels good that we don’t have to any more

Honestly we are pretty blessed for iframes already

Compared to some classes I’ve seen

[last whale]

im still not used to the Cataclysm iFrame

still not sure when the iFrame ends, so i die more when using

especially during lotus P1

[hasty gull]

It’s short but def a life saver

[potent yoke]

Don’t quote me on this, but I just assumed cataclysm Iframe was as long as character cast animation. Hasn’t failed me yet.

Might not get you through lotus lazer though haha

[last whale]

this is very tru

i died multiple times from tryin to avoid laser

[dim tinsel]

you can time it right before laser hits you. its a 3s iframe

[tacit spire]

is overdrive worth using now?

[tired agate]

I was just wondering about this @tacit spire

[royal orchid]

I somewhat doubt OD is usable now, but we gotta test to see

(That’s what fog is for)

And we have 3 iframes, lol - very few classes have that many or more: we do quite well there

[last whale]

Overdrive seems real good. It might increase the average dmg i do regardless of capping

[tacit spire]

We we should have enough slots to equip all vskills so might as well just put everything on

[last whale]

Last resort+OD gonna feel so nice

[royal orchid]

Make sure you test over time, 3m fog runs at least

[last whale]

This is funny

[royal orchid]

Hmmmm I’d say if there’s a benefit with overdrive it’s very minor

[tired agate]

Do any of you guys run any of the Edra Skills? I’m just curious to see what else to add into my matrix with all these additional slot.

[last whale]

i added anything that had passive stat inc

i got 2 more slots empty haha

[tired agate]

Aside from Edra skills, the only ones I don’t have crafted are sharp eyes, decent advanced blessing, and overdrive

Actually, I had overdrive waiting on the sideline…

[last whale]

can anyone share the maxed override?

i wanna know the duration

[potent yoke]

Override would depend if your capping or not right?

Like +x% pdmg into cap isn’t going to help dmg output. Just lower % skill lines?

[tacit spire]

Yeah I was thinking along the same lines where if you were already capping during burst but not for snipe it might be better to use the vskill buffs off burst

[last whale]

Anyone use blade dance here?

Im having hard time killing mobs on P1 of lotus 😂

[hasty gull]

no blade dance, we all use snipe

[last whale]

We need more target counts

Does the hologram field dmg get affected only at the time of the placement?

I thought the dmg will increase as i put the buffs up but apparently not...?

[potent yoke]

You mean once it’s placed, if you start ripping buffs the dmg doesn’t change?

It does increase even if you cast your buffs after placing hypogram

[last whale]

i must have seen sth wrong haha nvm

real dumb question guys....
how do u cancel omega blaster?... i click other skills but does not cancel lol

[wide slate]

I’m looking for 2 min line count along with battle analysis results. Please let me know your best number!

[last whale]

i had 8,272 lines/min in fog

not sure if this helps abit haha..

[wide slate]

Ah I’m looking specifically for 2 min

[potent yoke]

16,097

With will skill

[wide slate]

Can u show me the analysis page and which skill is cloned by projector?

[potent yoke]

Not sure which “certain skills” it’s referring too

[oblique frigate]

Usually I press snipe it will cancel blaster

[wide slate]

Only way to find out is do a quick test with and without it

[potent yoke]

I’ll try it out later

[last whale]

Idk why but never cancels

[potent yoke]

I have to spam tap another skill to cancel.

[potent yoke]

Hypogram fusion, hypogram pen, and class vskills along Side the skills listed in the description are unaffected by projection

[last whale]

Which is so weird cuz in AB, omega blaster cancels so fast. But when u actually try it doesnt/takes forever to cancel

[hasty gull]

I haven’t tried canceling it since the change but I don’t see any reason to now that we can move with it

[unborn heart]

Hows the ab experience, can it survive sf158 with minimal funding

[last whale]

depends on ur definition of minimal funding lol...

[unborn heart]

Compared to ho young, shadower and cadena

[last whale]

such a hard question idk if someone can answer that

wait for pros i guess

[hasty gull]

If its just the free uniques, its highly unlikely. youll probably want at least high 50k-70k hp. xenons dont have much surivability, youll want to be able to 2-3 shot the mob with snipe

[oblique frigate]

You need mythic weapon at least to do sf 158

[upper sparrow]

What buff do you need pre 170/200?

[tame nymph]

What's the hyper passives for Xenon? New to the character

[potent yoke]

Mecha purge reinforce and boss rush

All hypogram

[last whale]

All of them

I dont think there is any buff that u dont need haha

[dim tinsel]

I did all mecha purge, persist and speed hypogram

[tame nymph]

This is what I did too and then picked up the hyper reset from this event just in case LOL

[potent yoke]

Dam am I playing wrong? 😂

[last whale]

I wish one day, they buff mecha skills

So we dont have to use snipe for mobbing

[potent yoke]

I guess if hypo caps every line without reinforce….. it’s a waste of a point…..

[last whale]

How do u even cap hypo

[dim tinsel]

Eventually you cap when you max it as boost node

[potent yoke]

Have low mdc

[dim tinsel]

I prefer persist and speed since it kind of makes up more lines

[potent yoke]

Do you take the extra target on snipe just for better mobbing?

[dim tinsel]

That and it’s also the main attack

[potent yoke]

I took all the hyper reset coupons on main so I’ll try it out lol.

[dim tinsel]

Yeeeah i think it works better lol. Back then i did do all snipe, but had fd and speed hypogram before

That was when i was a nub still and didn’t have high cap

[potent yoke]

I’ve had my hypers set this way since xenon came out. I think the mentality was “all bosses are single target” and I just stuck with it. Maybe I’ll be better at GHB now though lmao

On octopus days

[last whale]

I dont think i can max hypo

Gotta check

Nvm i am capping hypo hahahah

Was thinking about the 4th job skill

Able to move during Damien is just so amazing

[potent yoke]

Will cap both eventually

[last whale]

Buff blade dance plz

Such a cool trash skill

[potent yoke]

Tested with hypers changed. Still cap hypo. Thanks for the hot tip yall. I’m gonna hit sooooo many targets now lol

Yea rip blade dance

[royal orchid]

To be fair if you’ve done your hypers for snipe, snipe is pretty op

Lots of enemies hit over a wide range with really long hit radiuses

We can attack things REALLY far away

[tacit spire]

i got you bb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I00hhV49Iic

[wide slate]

Which xenon skill is cloned?

[royal orchid]

By what

[wide slate]

Xenon has a clone skill

[tacit spire]

only hypogram and photon ray are not i think

[royal orchid]

No I get that but last I knew it was everything.

Oh wait ur right

Not entirely sure how we’d test that

I’d expect if it’s “not by you directly” then it would include infantry, will skill, map skill

Etc

Since it explicitly says not for rockets or triangulation

[potent yoke]

#1059999225154375720 message

Didn’t tag you in this before.

Hypogram fusion, hypogram pen, and class vskills along Side the skills listed in the description are unaffected by projection

[unborn heart]

Pre lvl 140 still cant hit 100 percent in evolution system

[queen warren]

Hi, Noob Xenon just hit 200 anyone got a skill wheeel / ideal skill setup for me? also want take a look V Matrix skills

And also is Xenon fully focus on PHY att only or?

[last whale]

1. AB wheel, make sure u have that V2 in Pet for AB
2. V matrix

bossing wheel should be very individualised, so i recommend reading all the skills 🙂

[quasi geode]

How good is xenon as a low funded lotus alt?

[last whale]

i would just use shadower XD

[tame nymph]

Can a mod pin this lmao it would be very helpful

[royal orchid]

You don’t need rope lift in ab wheel for it to work btw

[edgy dock]

No wayyy, I totally did not know this LOL. You telling me as long as I have the vskill equiped, AB will use it even if it isn't in my skill wheel???

[queen warren]

Is xenon just need to focus on phy att?

[royal orchid]

Yep!

[royal orchid]

Correct, not magic

[wind plume]

hi!! just created a xenon for tera burning, how is xenon’s survivability?

[royal orchid]

We’re a bit squishy

[royal orchid]

Another set of wheels if people want them:

[plain compass]

Thinking about creating a Xenon for Tera burning but is it worth it?

[royal orchid]

Define “worth it”

Our link skill is pretty great, 4% FD

[safe juniper]

Curious. For mobbing. Why penetrate field over force field?

[royal orchid]

So penetrate will kill each individual monster faster (5 hits at 235%), so even though it technically does fewer enemies at a time, it clears them faster. Additionally, very few maps will put many enemies that close together.

That and it just keeps things simple

XD

[plain compass]

Like how fun is it post 200?

[royal orchid]

I mean, I’ve mained it for over 4 years now, so I might be a little biased XD

It’s a nice simple class

Lots of utilities

Lots of iframes

I think it’s a fun class.

[ancient owl]

You should check out each classes on youtube

[safe juniper]

Thanks

[plucky turret]

any xenon guides

[knotty sinew]

👀 no beam dance?

[royal orchid]

Eh, define guide

[royal orchid]

Nope, it’s trash

[plucky turret]

Video or skill roation

[royal orchid]

Skill rotation is preeeetty simple

[royal orchid]

This is what I do, steps 1-11

11 (snipe) is what you mostly use

Orbital and pod are iframes

And then there’s whip for stun/dr steal

And liberty boosters (infinite blink flight)

Fairly simple

[plucky turret]

ty

i try it later

[royal orchid]

You got this

Xenon is a very simple class. We attacc with a single main attack and augment with the rest you see there.

[plucky turret]

do you need to pay attention to the gauge thing

[royal orchid]

Yes, that’s what 6 and 8 are for

You do them 6-7-8 and that starts you at a very high energy gauge

When you see the gauge drop to 1, you have 6 and 8 to recover

THats why I put both of them on the wheel

But it’s pretty easy to keep up and it’s not the end of the world if it’s low

[knotty sinew]

thx this is the level of braindead that I needed

[plucky turret]

How often do you cycle to this page

Page2 for skills

[royal orchid]

Hmmmm not very often in most cases

I start there while boss is about to spawn

But for the most part page 1 is 95% of the time

I only pop over to 2 to quickly do either overload or blessing or will skill

Or to use whip or flight

(Like in gloom)

I know some people put them on a preset but their cds are so different it makes it hard to have quick access to the one you want at a time

Plus i dont have slots avail on page 1 to bring something from 2 over in a way id like

[plucky turret]

for the dice skill

does it matter which one i choose

ok i see the lash skill is a stun

[royal orchid]

Use 5 when bossing, 6 when training

5 is +15% pd, 6 is +10 exp

[royal orchid]

AND a DR steal

AND a damage null cancel

[plucky turret]

you only need to use teh dice once per boss run?

[royal orchid]

Just once- you set the number once and have the dice roll skill on a pet

That way it just always stays on that number until you change it

When you change it, go into the buff window, cancel the old dice, and the pet will set it

[plucky turret]

and you manual the 6/7/8 skill

doesnt go on pet

[royal orchid]

Mhm

Exactly

But that’s my personal preference

[plucky turret]

ok i try that in vhilla

[royal orchid]

I know people who put 6 and 8 on pets, but I find that the pet does a bad job

[plucky turret]

for a noob ilek me i prob need to put on pet

[royal orchid]

It’ll use 6 and then 8 but if you don’t do 7 it just completely wastes 8

And since those are the skills to keep your energy gauge up, it can leave you at low energy longer

[plucky turret]

ok i see, 7 is the skill that gives it the xtra boost to 40

[royal orchid]

Mhm exactly

[plucky turret]

and the non numbered skills are your iframes

[royal orchid]

On page 1 yes

[plucky turret]

use 10 on cd (main dmg skill?) along with 11

[royal orchid]

Don’t forget that 10 is also an iframe

A nice long 6s

10 is v1

It’s your main burst

11 is your regular attack

[plucky turret]

sounds op

6s iframe while attacking

[royal orchid]

Mhm it used to be 9 too

And before that it was 6

And before that it was 10

[plucky turret]

oh yeah 9, you just use once

dont need to tap again right

[royal orchid]

So we expect it to be 10 in the next rebalance lol

[royal orchid]

9 is your v3

You can tap it again to redeploy the field if the boss moves

But it gives a passive buff while you stand in the field (party buff too)

[plucky turret]

ohh i see

[royal orchid]

So you do v2 and v3, max the energy gauge, then do v1 for massive damage

For a long 6s

Ok almost max, it’ll be like 35

When you do 678

[plucky turret]

ty

[dim tinsel]

New xenon main running vhilla?

[royal orchid]

This sounds like the title of a very filthy movie

[dim tinsel]

[plucky turret]

any way to cancel the pod thing after you use it

[tidal anvil]

No just pray you don't get one tap after it

[royal orchid]

Nope. V1 you can, but you have to make sure you’re not touching the movement controls

[empty harness]

Nvhilla 🥹

[plucky turret]

what does this mean

So if i use v1 and i move the iframe cancels?

[dim tinsel]

i think the emperor meant if you tap another skill after using v1, it cancels v1

[dim tinsel]

yay another xenon clear! grats!

[royal orchid]

If you use v1 and WANT to cancel it, you have to make sure you’re NOT pressing a direction while you tap something else to cancel like @dim tinsel said

[royal orchid]

2100 PE’s

[dim tinsel]

pressing direction is fine as long as you dont press another skill

its a nice update nexon did since you can flip sides when the boss gets behind you

[plucky turret]

Also dumb question when you use the v1 skill

Your character is where the name tag is?

[dim tinsel]

yeah lol

its funny sometimes cuz people think you're standing in the thread during vhilla but you're just leaning back

[tired agate]

Nice! May I ask what you MDC is?

I’ve tried solo recently, I don’t have a grasp on the mechanics quite yet, so it went pretty badly 🙁

[plucky turret]

Tyty

[royal orchid]

I just mean if you WANT to cancel and you try while moving it doesn’t work

lol

[dim tinsel]

oh

[empty harness]

149m only… 🥹 keep practicing, you will succeed very soon 💓

[tired agate]

@empty harness Thank you for the response. I’m sitting at 106, so you’re much higher than me! Will report back when I do clear ❤️

[empty harness]

I believe you can 😍 morale support ! ☺️

[hasty gull]

More strong xenons

[neat needle]

Could anyone share the AB skillwheel for pre-200? For an alt character

[royal orchid]

Snipe. That’s basically it.

Snipe and blue box

[neat needle]

Thank you

[royal orchid]

Anyone here have a screenshot of the snipe dmg%’s before 6th job?

[upbeat pasture]

Oh veteran here

So dead forgotten class

[royal orchid]

It’s nice and somewhat strong now at least lol

[tired agate]

Finally cleared normal solo

@empty harness I’m amazed you did this pre origin

[royal orchid]

YESSS

Omg dude congratsssss

[tired agate]

Thank you! @royal orchid have you done the solos yourself? Or are you on a team?

[royal orchid]

Yes I have solo’d but omg only barely. I wouldn’t be able to if I didn’t have hexa stats I suck at this

Def haven’t done hard solo

Fak that shz I am not nearly good enough to do that yet

[empty harness]

Congrats 🥳😍

[hazy jay]

Which hyper passives to take?

[royal orchid]

Not any blade dance ones

[alpine cairn]

I can fly automatically when i use V6 skill, all skill can use in the sky but cannot jump. It’s bug??

[upbeat pasture]

Xenon killed vhilla🧢

Yea can't wait for next burning to finish last 15 lvl to 200

[tidal anvil]

I think its a new feature haha

[potent yoke]

Does unlocking mega blaster in hexa matrix add duration?

[potent yoke]

Jk learned to read im good

[tidal anvil]

Is this a bug i cannot hit mob after flight mode after origin

[tired agate]

Omg, I didn’t notice that till you brought it up!

It’s a very annoying bug, especially during my bossing runs last night

[tidal anvil]

Flying is prob feature but the no lines

[tired agate]

I kinda miss before the update. It screwed me up in Vhilla today.

[dim tinsel]

Yeah definitely a bug flying after v6 used is only intended if you used liberty boosters

[royal orchid]

It’s a bug yeah

Make sure to report it!

So it gets fixed!

Mastery for hexa is nice

Snipe is getting spicier, plenty of room to go though

[royal orchid]

Def made it all harder. I suck at Vhilla tho, I always do really well and then suddenly get knocked back through 4 strings at once and then I’m dead

[tired agate]

@royal orchid Did you craft the Decent Alchiba node? That came in super clutch for me today during Vhilla.

I’ll take any invincibility opportunity I can gets

[royal orchid]

I did, it’s on a preset with pod

I just keep getting in spots where our animations stop me from being able to dodge

Or I can’t see the poison on the ground and 3s I’m toast

[tired agate]

Yeah, I’m still learning Vhilla myself… I was getting frustrated the other day.

Most annoying boss imo

… at my current abilities.

[royal orchid]

Ikr even gloom is way easier

[hasty gull]

Bug for sure. We auto fly but I’ve noticed on server side we are still on the ground. Saw this when watching myself on another players screen share, and hitting liberty booster again will bring us to the ground and back up into flight mode.

[empty harness]

Solo chaos lucid cleared!! #1059999225154375720 power

[tired agate]

@empty harness Dang! Keep raising the bar haha

[empty harness]

I know u can do it too hahahah

[royal orchid]

Omg what’s your mdc

[royal orchid]

How on earth did you do this I just failed MISERABLY

Damn butterflies and why won’t the damn STATUES WORK

and why do I die when I CLEARLY avoided her rampage attack!!??

Wait…and with NO POTIONS?

[empty harness]

Have to practice really alot haha

The mechanics are irritating. Sometimes tough to full burst finish

[barren vector]

Hi guys can anyone provide ab and bossing skill wheel with the presets please and which to use before bursting

[royal orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-honey-ozzie-that-'90s-show-oh-dear-netflix-gif-10209599062515055681

There’s like 20 examples in this thread.

You can find em, I promise

[barren vector]

Yeah i can but after the patch u can put to 8 buffs in 1 preset, it would make things alot easier

Would appreciate somebody helping

[royal orchid]

Honestly my presets didn’t really change much tbh

I think fountain got added to my snipe preset but that was it, it really didn’t change from what’s in here

I’ll let others chime in tho

[hasty gull]

Yeah mine is exactly as you said

Free heals while I attack

[hasty gull]

You’re good to go with the set up in pins. If you have questions on them ask away but don’t worry too much about the 8 buff presets since not much really changed

[upbeat pasture]

Do we have xenon skill wheel after more preset slots?

[unborn heart]

@real coral this class discord buggy， i can't find any message or pins

[real coral]

hmm I can see them fine, check if your connection is stable?

[unborn heart]

Better now maybe its mine yea

[empty harness]

Any recommendations on which hexa skill to pump next?

[tired agate]

Omega blaster for sure

That’s your next heavy hitter after origin

That’s the route I’m going once I max out my origin and snipe

Well, lvl 10 origin and snipe lol

[empty harness]

Max out? Like level 30? 😨

[tired agate]

I clarified at the end

Maxing to 30 would take forever

[royal orchid]

Have you finished your hexa stat?

[empty harness]

Not pump snipe to 30 first?

[empty harness]

Yeah sub 10 already

[tired agate]

@empty harness I’m just going with Origin 10, Snipe 10, and Omega Blaster 10 for now.

Ideally, would love to have them all at max levels but that’s gonna take a long time…

[royal orchid]

Great

I think Zeety is right, although you could also do v2 not really for a big damage boost but merely to get more of the energy tank bars if “43” is a weird number for you like it is for me. Also keep in mind it has to do with where you’re capping, if you’re already maxed out increasing the DMG% of a skill won’t do anything for ya

[empty harness]

Snipe is not capping. Way too low dmg 🥲

[royal orchid]

Yeah that’s an issue I have too

It’s hard to tell what to do with that

The % bonus per boost level is very small

And the vskills do FAR more damage in general, but some still don’t cap

It’s definitely a hard question

[empty harness]

Yea right.
Blaster gives FD per level which not sure if it really helps alot because xenon have high FD already

[royal orchid]

Yep I honestly don’t know that we’d be able to tell a difference unless someone does 10 fog training grounds tests with it

[empty harness]

Any pro xenon here can advice? 🤣

[potent yoke]

Do you cap blaster already?

[royal orchid]

lol you’re talkin to em

Honestly I don’t think you’ll see a big difference

The benefit / $ just isn’t there

This was my last Vhilla run

My origin and boost are at 10, you can def see a benefit for snipe, but the averages are still tough. I’m at 306m mdc and 48% ied

But notice that my omega blaster is only lvl 1 hexa and it still does more than my lvl 10 origin per hit

So I probably won’t add to it, and instead continue to do snipe or the v2

If they had a level 10 ied bonus (our vskills) from hexa then it’d be far more worth it to level, but since it’s just flat FD it’s not the same

Maybe they’ll add that in a future patch and then we can re-evaluate

[tired agate]

@royal orchid can always depend on you to do the hard labor

This is why this community loves you

[royal orchid]

Gosh too kind

I am but a nerd nothing more and I always reserve the right to be wrong! I’ll happily admit!

😂

[tired agate]

What’s your current Hexa skills looking like?

[royal orchid]

Ones for vskills except v2 which is 2

And then 10 on boost and origin

[tired agate]

The only reason I assumed Omega Blaster next was cause it’s the bulk of my DPS

[royal orchid]

Oh for sure, and as you can see above it…very well likely is a good choice

In 6 minutes you have many more lines from blaster than snipe

So more gains there - more dps

[tired agate]

We’ll have to revisit when he have everything maxed out in the future 🤣

[royal orchid]

Ahahaha yeah that’ll be 2030

[tired agate]

God….🤦

[royal orchid]

We get wayyyyyy too few erda frags rn

Omega and snipe both take over 100 frags per enhancement now

[tired agate]

my snipes only level 7

[royal orchid]

It’s just not a thing to invest in, the dps/$ is gunna be higher in gear at this point

[tired agate]

Lost a lot of erda farming time to Kain event

[royal orchid]

I figure when they do the next Hexa patch to release stats page 2 they’ll add bonuses we can take advantage of

I’m expecting them to add ied to lvl 10 etc for snipe and such

But there’s no way to tell yet

[tired agate]

Again, thank you for your service

[tawny finch]

Even level 10 origin isn’t beating omega blaster??

Ty that was very helpful I got a long way to go with level 6 origin

[royal orchid]

Make note of the time elapsed- 2 uses of origin vs 6 uses of omega

Origin is great but the 4 minute cooldown is a huge handicap

Most bosses you will get at MAX 2 origins use

So you have to adjust your bonuses expecting you’ll use more of everything else

[tired agate]

@royal orchid have you cleared Chaos Lucid solo yet?

This boss is seriously testing my patience

Phase 1 is super easy, Phase 2 keeps kicking my butt

[royal orchid]

Yeah- ironically I usually screw up phase 1 and have less trouble in phase 2

The key to phase 2 is to be cleansing left statue like…every 15-20s

It’s obnoxious

There’s just a lot going on and the moment you forget about dragon or use up iframes and then get the number bomb you’re kinda toast

Minigame though is easy, I only die if I get one of the ten gazillion lucid bugs

[tired agate]

I’ve been practicing like crazy, I just can’t seem to clear it quite yet

[royal orchid]

Where do you die? Also remember if you die you have to wait to burst until she loses the buff

[tired agate]

I think my problem is the panic pressing, with so many things going on I mis-click

End up dying and stacking her buffs

So far my furthest attempt was getting her to about 50% in p2

😭

[royal orchid]

What’s your mdc?

[tired agate]

328

[royal orchid]

Oh Wao grats you’re higher than me!

Yeah you should be way further

[tired agate]

Exactly, doesn’t mean much when I can’t clear this boss

[royal orchid]

Def don’t panic, for sure- but are you dying in minigame or

Rage?

Or lasers?

[tired agate]

Nah, it’s not the minigame that’s getting me, it’s just the panic of me mistiming or mis-clicking when I need my iframes

The bomb is the one so far that’s getting me good

[royal orchid]

Should really only need iframe for bomb

You shouldn’t need em for anything else really

You’ve got both time pod and orbital on page 1 right

You can add Sia hat but honestly that one is tough to use

[tired agate]

Yeah, the Sia ones been weird

[royal orchid]

It’s a literal single hit and the time to use it has to be perfect

But yeah you shouldn’t need to use iframes for anything but bomb- I usually save pod for bomb

Since it’s nice and long

[tired agate]

I’ll try to do that more rather than using Orb

[royal orchid]

Yeah orbital you could use for slices

If you want, since it has a low cd

But always save pod for bomb

If you get bomb during minigame there’s nothin you can do of course

[tired agate]

Will try this out, I think I just get so caught up in tying to DPS

[royal orchid]

So just gotta keep making sure you’re cleansing

You got this, I’m sure of it!

[tired agate]

Getting closer so far

[royal orchid]

It took me a while to be able to do on my own and even then I used boss rush

[tired agate]

So far, she’s proving to be the most frustrating

[royal orchid]

But yeah just gotta keep practicing and accept that sometimes she just has a bad random run where she’s always in the wrong spot

Like bottom right

So you’re constantly losing dps to cleanse

[tired agate]

Do you ever get the random teleports?

[royal orchid]

Yep, she’s buggy as hell

I hate them

There’s a bug where you’ll get hit by nothing in minigame too

And die

[tired agate]

That’s the one that’s keeps ruining what I think is a smooth run

[royal orchid]

Yeah they’re awful

[tired agate]

It happens to me more often when I’m trying to purple cleanse

[royal orchid]

You can try using liberty boosters

And see if that helps

You can cleanse while using it

[tired agate]

Already do, Brother

[royal orchid]

Haha nice

[tired agate]

Oh with it on…

[royal orchid]

Yeah with it on

Just fly to it and stay flying

[tired agate]

Kk. Thanks for the input

[royal orchid]

👍

[tired agate]

Have you done CWill yet

?

[royal orchid]

No

And that’s a hard af boss
