Sia

[torpid slate]

make sure your jewels are all S though

[modest pendant]

That's intended

It's to prevent exactly what you're doing

[robust monolith]

I thought there was a patch where they made capella stay after you switch presets

But it just stopped working after a while

[robust monolith]

Because it used to work

[lapis anchor]

I assume it’s due to the constellation enhancement. Once you set it, all the buffs got reset when u changed skill wheel preset

[robust monolith]

yeah i noticed that too

i think after i set the capella enhancement it started happening

[gusty jay]

Anybody know what's the best set up for boss attack? For normal attacks & constellations?

[lapis anchor]

I would say focus all constellations other than Algol and Izar

Try avoid using preset for bossing

Use these for mobbing is enough

[gusty jay]

Alright thanks for the heads up!

[slate burrow]

Can Sia cup block ark screen cracks ?

[blissful crystal]

Link/Sadalmelik Yes

[lapis anchor]

Does Sadalmelik resist also? I actually didn't try to check it out 😅

Possibly the closest replacement to bishop's role in Arkarium

[slate burrow]

Isit the first 5sec or the entire 30sec haha

[blissful crystal]

5s

if it's 30s it will be imba hahah

[blissful crystal]

i use it as 3rd shell

but you have to teleport to the middle

because the range is quite short

around half the map if you're at the orb

[slate burrow]

haha yeah was thinking does it work for 30sec hahaha. Thanks!

[heavy torrent]

How do you unlock Sirius?

[tall schooner]

Reach Lv.200 and craft the Sirius Skill (V2), or get it straight from opening a node if you’re lucky

[turbid patrol]

what does your guys' AB wheel look like?

[heavy torrent]

LF AB wheel pre 200

[short swift]

Same, looking for ab wheel for fast daily dungeon clearance

Pre170

[upper karma]

@tall schooner did not test 1000 skill combinations for you guys to keep asking

[short swift]

Good advice, I didn’t scroll up far enough.

[tall schooner]

I’ve added Pre-Lv.200 AB Wheel Recommendations in the video description and Pinned Comment, hope it helps~

[heavy torrent]

Last i check the video it didnt have anything for post 140 but it's been updated. Thanks.

[zenith flame]

hello peoplee

i need help with my Sia who here in 180+ SF and can help me with manage the skill wheel for 180 sf

some 1!

?*

[lapis anchor]

Someone just said about sharing 64 different skill wheels and recommend the best…

Read pinned

[zenith flame]

i dont understand its not fits for my issue

the only thing that pinned is 60 dark force

[silk nimbus]

I used this at SF180 which is in the comments of that video -

Canopus+Algol & Equalize Vega

I also added Fomalhaut for when i was dying at SF180 at first

[zenith flame]

i need picture

right now this is my skill wheel

[silk nimbus]

This is what I used. 2nd preset being irrelevant in the pic.

Removing or adding Fomalhaut based on whether or not you are struggling to survive

[zenith flame]

thats all i need for sf180 to survive ?

except from the gear of course haha

[zenith flame]

?

So as a second main which would you say is better bishop or sia?

[viral radish]

Bishop will probably see more use in boss content

So more primals

[signal wind]

True true

[clear mesa]

Hi guys, this is my AB matrix

Any advise for bossing matrix?

Add those highlighted?

[livid galleon]

does anyone know a good CD/BA emblem ratio for gear?

[upper karma]

Full cd

[livid galleon]

damn fr? i was thinking mostly CD at least

[blissful crystal]

Im using 4/4

I think anything from 4/4 or 6cd 2 ba is ok?

[pale ember]

What are the best hypers to choose?!

[upper karma]

Well that’s most optimal emb set up

6/2 cd/ba is good enough for all situations

[livid galleon]

got it thank you!

[zenith flame]

i need help with this decision also...can some 1 know what is the exact ratio?

i actually got gloves 15%CD + Weapon 4% BA + shoes 3% BAb

the rest should be CD from now on?

[lapis anchor]

There is no proper answer for CD : BA ratio

[upper karma]

That’s silly, ofc there is an answer. It’s full cd. You always crit now, meaning cd always in effect and therefore always the bigger boost than BA (in terms of emblems). Even if all your class skills cap, there is a need to cap ADI hyper lines now and it’s pretty much impossible to cap.

[zenith flame]

hey pple

my sia reached to 200 🥳🥳

who can help me with nodes skill or its pined here

got them

[lapis anchor]

There are only 6 boost node skills for sia and all of them are important

Ultimately u gotta max them out, but first u try to craft rope lift for better mobbing ability

And also ‘Sirius’ skill node, allow you to summon wolf

[echo oar]

what hyper stat that I should priority first? Can someone guide me pls?

[tall schooner]

Sia is still a MSM exclusive for now

[upper karma]

Forever maybe

[blissful crystal]

no pre 6th skills showcase

[upper karma]

Sia nerf

[zenith flame]

hello there i got those nodes till now

i really wanna know about the skill nodes if there any important of any of them or should i extract them cuz they not important

like the special node i will save and the boost nodes i use now

[upper karma]

Extract all skill nodes that can’t be used by sia

[upper karma]

Most special nodes aren’t worth keeping/using so I would extract them right away so you don’t end up forgetting to extract (since they expire after a week of being obtained, which means you lose 20 shards).

Defense Smash 4 being the most popular one but only useful for culvert, mu lung and boss like arkarium and above

Then the ruin exp one’s are bad but every thing counts when it comes to exp so might be worth using if it’s not a hassle to remember to extract later on.

[zenith flame]

oh...how can i know what is able to use by Sia or not.?

some 1 have his nodes list he using and its good and recommended?

[lapis anchor]

You can try to equip those nodes, chances are that the first three doesn’t fit your matrix, therefore should be extracted right away

[livid galleon]

@zenith flame

priority would be the first 2 (sirius and shine) + ropelift for farming nodes

[clear mesa]

Can shine be level up?

[livid galleon]

levelling up will reduce shine’s cooldown time and increase its fd buff. but i’m not sure if this should be a priority

[clear mesa]

Thanks , at lvl8, did not know the add for what effect

What about siriu? Should we level?

[lapis anchor]

I think aim for the level as multiple of 5

Like your shine right now is lv8, just add 2 for now and make it lv10

As for Sirius, add 4 points to make it lv5

I think both are great to boost DPS, I would level them up together and equally

Shine reduce CD, can cast sirius more frequently

Sirius increase duration, lasts longer per Wolf

[clear mesa]

Thanks. Left Algol & Izar to max

Both at 58

Yeah, can cast double sirius during ab

[weak stratus]

Agree with Yeow. Siri also now has IED which is important for bossing. For V1 shine, cooldown reduction will be important as a component of both V2 (wolf) dps and V3 (hourglass) support functions

[clear mesa]

Great. Thank you codeblue. Max out all basic skill already. Will just lvl Sirius after this

[dusk swan]

now sia's v3 can stun bosses haha

[blissful crystal]

if i read it correctly, you can either choose 12s stun or 5s invulnerability

[gloomy lintel]

Yes I saw that too from a video

Do you guys think Sia’s V3 is a good one?

Seems quite underwhelming...

[dawn tulip]

Sia’s got more lines now xD OP farmer

[gloomy lintel]

Yea thank God they made some improvements to Sia’s basic attacks

[outer solar]

looks like another door

[zenith flame]

i need help 😦 how do i rearrange now my Sia skills with the V1+V2+V+rest of the skills together...

[rich pike]

Dont do anything imo, I would use the V3 only during boss fight and learn it and do it manually

I would still prefer using sirius on AB

[strange laurel]

What's V3 description

[weak stratus]

Sia’s V3 is great! With the cooldown reset for Shine, the ress buff - “another door” - can be maintained indefinitely for your team. The only situation that it can’t cover are mass deaths eg missing shell in ark, which in any case bishops are better equipped to revive. It seems to complement bishop ress quite well actually - because bishop ress is less useful for individual deaths where people die one by one and burn the death count anyway due to Ress on cd

[strange laurel]

I don't understand just explain it in simple terms what death rebirth does

[strange laurel]

Thx

So during 60 seconds u can just revive if you die?

[gloomy lintel]

Preset 1 changed to Algol
Preset 3 changed to Algol
Stellar Equalize set as Vega
The rest remain unchanged

[dawn tulip]

That moment when I thought Nexon secretly nerfed Sia by removing constellation when changing maps… turned out it was a bug

[haughty verge]

any sia specific hyperstats sequence?

[gloomy lintel]

You can go for final damage increase and additional skill counts first

[haughty verge]

Hey thank you!! Really just started out on this game so am really lost!!!

Should I max the final damage first? or just alternate?

[gloomy lintel]

You can alternate because mesos cost would be higher once you level up the skills further. But I’ve been told if you’re still pre-200, hyper stats is not your priority for the time being

[haughty verge]

im at 162 for now!

Is there a guide for emblem?

[gloomy lintel]

If that’s the case unless you have hyper stats discount coupons, don’t bother with them yet

[gloomy lintel]

You get a random emblem from emblem potential scrolls. After that you could level up the emblem by using emblem trace ( I think ). If it’s not an emblem you desire, either change it with emblem change scroll ( super expensive, usually real money for that ) or start over ( in the case of boss accessories )...

[haughty verge]

I see! okieee. I kind of funded myself abit with the wonder pet events

but im still lacking in alot of stuff

[haughty verge]

is crit dmg the most desired?

referring to emblem now

[weak stratus]

For hyperstats, the bonus is minimal at the lower levels and get much better at higher levels, but more expensive too. Now with the event hyperstat meso discount, you can also consider using the larger discount on the higher levels (eg 100m discount is only usable if the cost exceeds 100m).

After 200, skill boost nodes are the best bang for your buck so you could save up for that instead

[gloomy lintel]

This one I don’t know. Some prefer heavy CD but others prefer BA or PA/MA...

[weak stratus]

CD emblems are most desired: Point for point, BA is better than CD. Eg 1% BA tends to add more dmg output compared to 1% CD. however, CD emblem (ruthless) gives 20% while BA emblem (dominant) gives 10%, hence CD emblems are preferred. There’s no standard breakdown (depends on your other gear eg potentials and skills) as end game stats are typically CD >400% and BA >100% and most people use more CD than BA emblems in order to achieve this

[gloomy lintel]

Thank you for the clarification!

[haughty verge]

Thank you guys!

[gloomy lintel]

Any time 🙂

[haughty verge]

Thank you!

[feral osprey]

Is there any guide on pre 200 bossing skill order to execute for max dmg?

[gloomy lintel]

Always activate Fomalhaut and Bellatrix and alternate between Antares and Algol

If pre-180

1. Stellar Equalize set to Izar
2. Vega activation sequence: ray>link>ray>ray
3. Bellatrix activation sequence: ray>pole>boom>ray
4. Fomalhaut activation sequence: boom>pole>boom>boom

If level 180:

1. Stellar Equalize set to Canupos
2. Canupos activation sequence: ray>link>pole>ray
3. Vega activation same as above
4. Bellatrix activation sequence same as above
5. Fomalhaut activation sequence same as above

This is how I do it when I fight bosses. Might not be the greatest but hope it helps you out

[lapis anchor]

I think don't bother using Algol for bossing

Same as Izar, it only deals 5% of it's original damage against boss unit

Pre-cast Capella before entering boss, so that any time you cast any constellation that has "link" in it, Capella buff duration resets

But the rest is right, make use of "link" to cast Vega when the tornado running out, and Canupos for the rest of the fights.

[weak stratus]

While I’m post 200, I’d say that a good 60% of my dmg comes from pre-200 skills. Eg Vega gives me 20% of my output by sage rock testing (you should try and see how your breakdown looks like).

To use:

Offensive
Antares 🐰, Vega🌪️, Canopus ⚓️, Bellatrix 🦋

Team buff
Alchiba 🎩 (use inner fire enhancement for +10% FD), Capella🪽

Defensive
Formalhaut 🐚 (use -30% all dmg reduct)

To avoid:
Mobbing skills (Algol 🐊, Izar 🎭)
These skills have a -95% dmg penalty

What’s not so easy to appreciate is that for bossing, technique matters. Sia’s range is so long that you won’t hit with Vega unless you’re standing a bit closer than your max Ray/Antares range. An estimate would be half of Mulung dojo screen, or just outside Ark’s lightning.

How do you stand closer and still survive? Sia’s defensive skills work wonders. For example, Formalhaut 30% all dmg reduct can let you tank a 155k HP hit (snake) just by having 110k max HP. Ark’s lightning now deals 84k HP instead of 120k HP. Sadalmelik (cup) is great not just for iframes but also HP scaled dmg which means you can just chill outside Magnus’ blue zone.

If you can’t stand closer, then stand further and attack with Antares. Surviving = more dmg dealt and is part and parcel of your boss dmg output. Anyway, don’t worry and level up first! Sia begins to Shine 🌟😛 after level 200 with your V skills

[gloomy lintel]

Thank you guys for the in-depth breakdown!

[feral osprey]

Thank you all so much for taking time to write this!

[zenith flame]

i still...dont understand how should i manage my skills wheel....i need maximum damage skill lvl for bossing (please pic it for make a copy)

[weak stratus]

Click on this

You’ll get to this page with a constellation fusion guide

Most Sia’s skill wheels look the same, I should think. It’s a combo class using essentially the same five ingredient skills “marking skills”

[gloomy lintel]

Also, try casting link at 2nd instead of last, because it’ll be better to utilize the cooldown time, even if it’s just 2 or 3 secs

For example Vega is ray ray ray link, instead you should try ray link ray ray

[weak stratus]

Yes this - also Link enhances subsequent Ray’s lines for the next 5 seconds

[haughty verge]

omo i realized that previously I had added 4 of my skill points erroneously into final damage for hyperstat. Should I reset it now? or it is fine and I can just continue adding into CD?

[lapis anchor]

Don’t go for CD hyperstat, Maxing out Final DMG benefits you much more

[surreal swallow]

Anyone got mobbing preset and boss preset skill for reference? Lvl 162 here

[weak stratus]

You can scroll up in this forum for the mobbing presets. My advice is to take these with a pinch of salt and try for yourself - results will vary depending on your stats and skill options (eg hyper skills, constellation enhancement). See which gives you the best kill rate and use that!

Take note that if even one skill is on cooldown within a preset, it will be skipped entirely. For instance, putting Bellatrix and Formalhaut next to each other won’t work because the second will be skipped. As a rule of thumb, Sia cycles through four presets fast enough such that you can accommodate 2x Pole 🌟 constellations and 1x Link 🌙 constellations. Eg bellatrix and formalhaut, with either Vega, Izar or Canopus. Putting more than one Link 🌙 (15s cooldown) constellation does not make sense as you won’t consistently activate that present if any one of its components is on cooldown. Additionally, the pole constellations should be placed separately (eg preset 1 & 3 or 2 & 4 with a spacing of at least 5-6 casts before the next 🌟 preset). To allow for its 5 second cooldown.

Equalize can be used on your skill wheel also and it’s very good to have more than one Link-containing skill. For example you can Equalize Vega and set Izar (2-2-3-4 boom boom pole link) on your preset or vice versa.

There are no boss presets. You’ll want to play manual mode so you can recast your constellation attacks and buffs when the time expires.

[dawn tulip]

You can always use the preset from “MapleStory M Tips” in YouTube… There are many variations out there from YouTubers like Moonbean, Casual Gamers Online and so on. I’m too lazy to figure out which variation is the best… or remember all the constellations… I just cast the presets in order like an auto battle bot

[weak stratus]

Can anyone confirm if Sadalsuud’s 20% BA is a party buff? Seems to say Target party in the skill description, but patch notes and in game testing suggest otherwise ☹️

[gloomy lintel]

@tall schooner could you confirm with 星座之子 as well?

[lapis anchor]

I think the description says "You will be granted with Star's Blessing", means self gain only

Left : Pt member
Right : Sia (caster)

[weak stratus]

Thanks Yeow! Still, a really good buff 😄

[clear mesa]

Is it best to equalise Sadasuud?

[weak stratus]

Nope. The support skills (one-mark constellations Alchiba, Sadalmelik, Sadalsuud) are the worst to equalize because they all have reapplication cooldown. Equalize is better for maximizing dmg output (4-mark constellations) and you also save casting time that way

If you want to maintain V3 ress buff, all you need to do is to make use of the inbuilt V1 cooldown reset (V3 “timeleaps” V1) by resisting the temptation to fuse a Sirius constellation. V3 will always refresh V1 so long as no existing hourglass is present

[clear mesa]

Thank you for advise.

[haughty verge]

Is there a skill level up guide? i'm not sure where to throw my skill point into at level 170 (sia)

[gloomy lintel]

I think you’re referring to hyper skills, basically anything that boosts your damage output is worth investing in. You’ll see a red thumb above the skill icon and that’s usually the one you’ll wanna level up. But just to be sure, let others double check for ya

[haughty verge]

oh yes, thats what I am referring to.

I've alrd up-ed marking reinforce, stellar marking -reinforce duration and appear persist

what should I up next?

[weak stratus]

tagging this but do take any advice given under consideration and test if you aren’t sure 🙏 also the line counts will be slightly different as the latest V3 update improved some skill hit counts

[haughty verge]

how many total points do I have?

Im assuming I cannot max all of them?

[lapis anchor]

I went for Appear CD cutter and Stellar marking - enhance

[gloomy lintel]

For every 10 levels you get 1 hyper skill point I think. So yes you won’t be able to max them all

[dawn tulip]

Level 141 / 151 / 161 / 171 / 181 … so five points.

[haughty verge]

Anyone has a general guide on when I should start getting emblem equipments and how much I should be paying for them in A2S server - class: Sia

I'm level 175 , sf 146, around 3 weeks-ish in; only one alt (aran)

[dawn tulip]

You can check the “Gear Progression Milestone” in Reddit. My guess is to get weapon first. As for the prices, it depends on the type of weapon/armour and the emblem itself. I am outdated on the prices, but I got my Utgard with Crit DMG weapon when the character first introduced for 2 bil. Perhaps it is worth below 1 bil now. Try to get a unique one whenever possible.

[strange laurel]

Ok what does equalize do?

I just started a Sia and it's using the wrong skills which is in the correct order

[strange laurel]

Is this ab wheel for characters below lvl 150 and which preset do I actually put in the skill wheel and which skill do I equalize

[gloomy lintel]

It basically clears all the current skills casted. Like for example if you’ve casted boom boom boom on stellar marking (the blue thing on the top left), when you hit equalize it clears out all three booms and you have a clean stellar marking once again

[gloomy lintel]

If there’s a transition Sia’s combo sequence is being interrupted and this messed up with her skills, even if you set the skills in correct order. But when it hits equalize, you’ll be back to your casting order

[upper karma]

I thought equalize resets cd of the skill you choose

[dawn tulip]

They don’t have any skills with cool-down… just the basic ones I.e. Link / Pole etc.

[upper karma]

I meant like if it was on Vegas, it would use that skill without need of making a combo

Maybe I’m mixing up the skills or they reworked that skill

[dawn tulip]

MapleStory M Tips does a better job here. In YouTube, he/she gives AB rotation based on level range and tells you which to equalise.

[dawn tulip]

Oh, you’re right. But it also clears out the existing stellar marking like he said.

[upper karma]

Ah I understand now

[lapis anchor]

U can add another preset “Boom Boom Pole Boom” for Fomalhaut, then from constellation page use the DMG reduction to survive better (if need)

And for me I personally use 4x Boom = Algol, instead of 4x Ray = Antares

[clear mesa]

I don't use preset anymore. You can try if this suit you

[zenith flame]

can some 1 help understand the potential recommendation for hat? what it should be better to have ?

[chrome locust]

CD to EXP for starters

[strange laurel]

So how do you get your buffs and protection spells off?

[strange laurel]

52894. So this is the order for the hyper passive?

[strange laurel]

Anyone?

[limpid hatch]

Click ray and hold down

[zenith flame]

what do you mean for starters i am lvl 205

[chrome locust]

💀 then you should already know which is the better potential by now

CD to EXP typically until you get the full commander set where you will switch to CD to HP (or BA, depending on people).

By starters I mean non-endgame, unless your gear is either full necro/4-set abso with full commander set, you’re pretty much still going with EXP scaling

[strange laurel]

Hyper passive

[zenith flame]

ok chief

[chrome locust]

applies to all classes btw heh

[strange laurel]

Wait I still want to know hyper passive anyone?

[turbid patrol]

only MA/PA scales with HP/MP so for CD go for EXP/BA scaling

[strange laurel]

This

[dawn tulip]

https://youtu.be/cZmHyiyPcMQ You can scroll to 44:02 and see if his advice is to your liking. It’s been so long since I touched hyper passive so you’ll have to judge it yourself.

[strange laurel]

Yes I saw that but there is another opinion in this thread that's different. Also it's been months since this video has been released since Sia is out of the resting stage now I just wonder what people are choosing now

How do people cast their protections buffs when ever they want to? Without equalizing?

[weak stratus]

don’t understand the second question…why equalize a protection buff? Equalize is only useful for offensive buffs. Most of the protective buffs have cannot reapply times so equalize, which cuts cooldown, does not benefit them

[strange laurel]

Just saying that the buffs are initiated randomly because of the combo system. Without equalizing a protection buffs you won't be able to initiate one at a specific moment

[weak stratus]

The defensive buffs are usually single-mark constellations. Meaning you will need a blank stellagram before casting. Either

1. Complete a constellation prior; or
2. Clear to a blank slate by pressing ray+down direction.

[strange laurel]

Good tip

[cyan oracle]

Did not know about #2

Thanks

[haughty verge]

Any constellation guide? now that I'm at 189 ><

I'm not sure why I can't search within the sia class forum

[lapis anchor]

Maybe you can scroll up there, multiple different builds and all works fine

[pastel epoch]

Can someone explain to me the combos for sia bossing to be effecient

@lapis anchor do you know

Are yall all sia mains?

[lapis anchor]

Not really main for me

But priority is to keep those constellations with durations up

[pastel epoch]

What are the combos

I am a returning player

[lapis anchor]

These 3 need to stay up:

Bellatrix (periodically chain attacks) 60s

Fomalhaut (DoT nearby + summon flying shells) 60s

Vega (DoT nearby) 90s

[pastel epoch]

I forgot how to play my sia…

Retuning to this cash grab game…

What are the sequence for those

[lapis anchor]

Just… check the skill description…

Trust me, you won’t understand anything even if we explained it

Prior to bossing - Capella (will stay up the whole time)

Keep these activated - Fomalhaut, Bellatrix, Vega

Summon as soon as available - Canopus, Sirius

Support - Alchiba, Sadalmelik

The rest of the fight - Antares

[pastel epoch]

Is sia still good now @lapis anchor

[lapis anchor]

If I say no, will you still be playing it?

[pastel epoch]

Yes

Maybe i will try another class like kanna?

@lapis anchor

[lapis anchor]

Haha then I guess u continue playing your sia then

Definitely try out every class

[pastel epoch]

My sia is geared thats why HAHAHAHA

[lapis anchor]

You won’t be just playing one character the whole time

But if I were to reroll, I will definitely choose Sia

[pastel epoch]

Anyone know the perfect trios for skill nodes for soa

Sia*

@lapis anchor

[pastel epoch]

Anyone can help

Need this info badly

Anyone

Please

[lapis anchor]

There are videos up there to find out

In short, all 6 boost nodes are needed

[livid galleon]

you can try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXCgVndnHfU&t=283s&ab_channel=月豆MoonBean

[cyan oracle]

Personally I did Ray/Izar/Canopus

And a trio for the other three skills

[pastel epoch]

In short everything…

HAHAHAH

[edgy mist]

not worth it, too weak

[weak stratus]

These seem to be the main bossing dps skills - from my testing, around 60% of the output is from Vega + double Sirius (equalize) by sage rock.

Starlight can be considered too. It gives more lines than even Canopus but seems harder to cap. I’m using these nodes for now:

[serene dust]

is sia worth maining?

[dusky hornet]

[serene dust]

oh any other alternative?

@dusky hornet

i havent chosen a main yet haha

[cyan oracle]

Sia takes a lot of brain power to play lol. But I like her

[cyan oracle]

These are mine

[edgy mist]

is this good for mobbing?

[weak stratus]

I think this was from an old video when sia had to cast 3x for each mark. And because of that some marks were skipped, so this was suggested to give “fault tolerance” for skipped marks. Now AB is a lot less clunky and if you use this you will end up fusing a lot of false constellations:
Ray-ray-ray-link (Vega) > pole (Alchiba) > ray boom boom boom (nothing) > boo boom pole boom (formalhaut) > boom ray ray ray (nothing) > link (sadalmelik) > repeat

[cyan oracle]

I just walk around with tornado and rasen shuriken every 30 secs 😅

[strange laurel]

Now we need at least 4 more.preset slots for Sia to utilize all her skills in auto 😂

I like this class the more I play it.

[cyan oracle]

sia hyper skill passive recc?

[pastel epoch]

Do your use the hourglass?

Never seen people really use it

@weak stratus

[weak stratus]

yes! I use it especially in solo bossing. You can be essentially unkillable right now

V3 refreshes V1 if no existing hourglass is up. So try waiting until the 3-4 revives are activated and then refresh it to have a permanent heaven’s door effect (at the cost of Sirius, and unpredictable stunning). hmag solo, floor 44-45, KT50 are a breeze with it

helps to reduce animation transparency so you can see the hourglass and when it disappears. For the stun, I haven’t quite figured out how to avoid randomly stunning the boss - seems to be always activated for certain modes like Lotus P2 & P3 which is where I don’t use it

[pastel epoch]

My tri cores are the same as you

Algol and the other not that important? @weak stratus

[lapis anchor]

It’s an incredibly OP support skill haha

Theoretically infinite Heaven Door buff

[weak stratus]

Exactly. Iykyk

[weak stratus]

Oh I’m not using tricores. mine are four level 60 skills - the key bossing skills - across 4 slots

[pastel epoch]

Yes sorry

[weak stratus]

Even from a mobbing perspective, most of your Mob clears are going to be from Vega. Either way, you hardly need 10% IED or extra dmg on Algol if it’s just for mobbing

[pastel epoch]

But i did the same

[weak stratus]

(But just my opinion. Anyway, with our class it’s so easy to change nodes 😄)

[pastel epoch]

True

What server do you play @weak stratus

[strange laurel]

Do you guys think they will add more preset slots because skill slot 1 2 and 3 share the same preset

correction: for V3, seems that having Sadalsuud’s first hourglass fused and present on the field (death-rebirth time still remaining) means any manual Sirius fusion will trigger the stun effect and shine’s cooldown. Equalize Sirius doesn’t trigger because no Shine is casted. Caution because now people are stun-dependent for ark DR, lotus platform 😅

[clear mesa]

How to fuse the hourglass, it appear after 1st sirus fuse?

Then manual activate Sadalsuud

Sirius -->Sadalsuud --> Sirius = stun

Setting is equalise Sadasudd

[weak stratus]

don’t equalize V3

[weak stratus]

for those who haven’t tried, V3 is actually a two-phase skill with a vertical hourglass (death-revive) and a slanted hourglass (stun).
I. cast V1 (Shine) on blank stellagram > V3’s first vertical hourglass is activated = the BA/crit rate buff (yourself only) and death-revive buff (party, whole map). If there’s no existing hourglass, V1 cooldown is reset.
II. casting V1 at any point (whether as the index i.e. initial mark on a blank stellagram or as part of a Sirius fusion sequence e.g. Ray Shine Boom Pole while this vertical hourglass exists, will tip the hourglass diagonally. This is the stun effect and V1 will be sent into cooldown even if it was the index stellar mark.
So V3 is really great for keeping that death count healthy but doesn’t work for mass deaths >4 and you need to micromanage it. if you aren’t watching it closely or keeping V1 primed to refresh, then you may let deaths go through (refresh vertical hourglass too late or infrequently) or accidentally stun the boss (tip the hourglass diagonally)

[humble yarrow]

Sia hyper how to up?

[clear mesa]

Thanks you. Manage to understand better

[late merlin]

which hyper passive skills to chose?

[haughty verge]

I need a little help on nodes 😦 If all 6 boost nodes are required, does it matter what the other 2 sides are?

to the 3 sides of the nodes

How do I know what is important at this point. Sorry >< Just reached level 200

[weak stratus]

Sia’s V matrix (like all classes) has different categories:
I. Sia-specific: V1, V2, V3.

• At least V1 and V2 should be in your bossing (and probably mobbing) matrix
• V3 can add a very good crit rate/BA buff. If you aren’t doing higher bossing content, you probably don’t need to worry about throwing the stun
  II. Class (mage) specific: common V1 (arcane overload), V3 (ethereal form).
• Common V1 can add some final dmg at the cost of mana.
• Common V3 isn’t so crucial as Sia already has access to iframes.
  III. Boost nodes. This is what you mentioned and has the steepest learning curve. It is important as it can give up to +120% extra dmg on skill dmg and that’s your main power spike after 200. Sia technically doesn’t have wrong nodes - any can be used as tricore - but space being limited, you may want to prioritize bossing skills as mob clear is usually decent enough
• Bossing: Antares/ray, Canopus, Vega, starlight
• Mobbing: Vega/Izar, starlight, Algol
  IV. Decent skill nodes
• It’s good to keep a slot for decent sharp eyes (mobbing/bossing)
• If possible speed infusion as well for BA
  V. Special nodes
• Not too important at this stage. Can extract first for shards

[clear mesa]

@codeblue, hijack abit further, would you upgrade hb ? Let say for Ark

[haughty verge]

if i solely want to focus on bossing without a regard for mobbing. does that mean that all 3 portions (within one node) should be one of these
Bossing: Antares/ray, Canopus, Vega, starlight

[weak stratus]

oh yea I used to do that. But with formalhaut up you don’t really need. You can easily tank orb and lightning with 84,000 base HP because 30% All dmg reduction is so good

[haughty verge]

does this make sense?

I read this reddit guide on extraction and whatnot but it sheds little light on how to choose the 3 slots 😦

[clear mesa]

Thks. Not being to Ark, guildies advise to get hn to 120,000 hp

@ kaede, eventually you get to this

[haughty verge]

but if I want to max bossing dmg, should i make it sucuh that my other 2 side is always antares/smth else?

is there a cap?

[weak stratus]

Problem is, most guides aren’t contextualized to your needs. For instance you might be told that all skills are needed but with limited slots you’ll have to economize. & if you aren’t doing ark or higher, you don’t really need level 40 nodes for IED, and matching tricores aren’t essential or easy to level to 20 in the first place without funding.

Anyway to keep it simple, what
I’d do if I were you is to keep the first and third node and swap out the 2nd for a matching tricore (base mask/Vega) + Canopus + Antares/Ray. This will get you good bossing dmg and Vega will be good enough for mobbing. Subsequently get your V2 Sirius in as soon as you get a new slot.

[weak stratus]

Oh….120k is a lie, especially for us 😅 anyway in a support role Sia can replace bishop in ark actually. So you don’t really need 120k HP to justify your presence, but if you have at least 84k and keep 🐚 up you definitely won’t burden with deaths

[clear mesa]

Thks for advise

[haughty verge]

thank you! is there any reason why I would change starlight to basemask/vega?

is it stronger?

and for now do I just dump all my nodes to enhance this 3 boost nodes?

[haughty verge]

assuming funding is not an issue? would this be a good start to max out?

I swapped it out as you suggested.

[weak stratus]

yeah this will give you good bossing and decent mobbing for now. I think it’s good to have starlight, it’s not a bad source of dmg for boss/mob but just lower compared to these primary skills. If funding isn’t an issue I guess you would be buying and opening nodes and opening V matrix slots

[haughty verge]

ooohh i just hit 200 yesterday but only opened around 40ish nodes

I was waiting for the correct 3 before enhancing ><

[weak stratus]

One misconception is to pursue the end-game build from the start, especially for our class. Sia nodes are so flexible, you can just feed your level 20 node into a different tricore with the same base and change them down the road

[haughty verge]

I see! thank you so much!!!!!

i did watch moonbeam's video and read a few guide but was really hard to know what I want

[weak stratus]

Also your approach may be different depending on your resources so it has to be individualized. Eg some people are going to go for the three matched tricores (level 20 x3) to attain level 60 while others are going for double tricores with matrix points +5 in each because of space issues, but then they can’t add matrix points into V skills until really late (like level 220-225 half a year later)

[weak stratus]

so I did this, it’s definitely not standard but it works for me. and we can recycle nodes later without losing the value

[haughty verge]

I heard that if i buy a slot, it will not be pushed along as I level up

meaning to say I will not get a new slot if I reach the required level

so I was putting off buying it. Not quite sure what you feel about this.

[weak stratus]

oh I think this one is up to you. Unlocking early means more mesos spent!

[swift iron]

anyone have a sia alt farming 144? can i see ur eqs :)

[strange laurel]

@weak stratus what can be done to improve Sia? Do you have something in the feedback I can read?

[turbid rampart]

Anyone got a guide on how what order of skills to use for bossing… confuse on how to improve

[gloomy lintel]

While I’m post 200, I’d say that a good 60% of my dmg comes from pre-200 skills. Eg Vega gives me 20% of my output by sage rock testing (you should try and see how your breakdown looks like).

To use:

Offensive
Antares 🐰, Vega🌪️, Canopus ⚓️, Bellatrix 🦋

Team buff
Alchiba 🎩 (use inner fire enhancement for +10% FD), Capella🪽

Defensive
Formalhaut 🐚 (use -30% all dmg reduct)

To avoid:
Mobbing skills (Algol 🐊, Izar 🎭)
These skills have a -95% dmg penalty

What’s not so easy to appreciate is that for bossing, technique matters. Sia’s range is so long that you won’t hit with Vega unless you’re standing a bit closer than your max Ray/Antares range. An estimate would be half of Mulung dojo screen, or just outside Ark’s lightning.

How do you stand closer and still survive? Sia’s defensive skills work wonders. For example, Formalhaut 30% all dmg reduct can let you tank a 155k HP hit (snake) just by having 110k max HP. Ark’s lightning now deals 84k HP instead of 120k HP. Sadalmelik (cup) is great not just for iframes but also HP scaled dmg which means you can just chill outside Magnus’ blue zone.

If you can’t stand closer, then stand further and attack with Antares. Surviving = more dmg dealt and is part and parcel of your boss dmg output. Anyway, don’t worry and level up first! Sia begins to Shine 🌟😛 after level 200 with your V skills

Maybe you can refer to this message by @weak stratus

[weak stratus]

Sia is good just as it is 😇

[tawdry path]

i been told Sia is a good farm class to use for alt, how true is that ? I was told Luminous too

[strange laurel]

I'm still lacking in bossing

[gloomy lintel]

The 30% damage reduction from 🐚 is very good when ABing. And Sia’s skill especially 🦎 is a wide map killing skill, it flying here and there. Also activate 🌪 for further protection and killings

[haughty verge]

any good recommendation on cd/ba ratio for sia?

[weak stratus]

don’t think there’s a class-specific ratio, but across the board CD>BA if you have the luxury to choose

[edgy mist]

whats the PBA for normal weapon?

[dawn tulip]

Base: 27 = TPBA: 30

[edgy mist]

[vague spire]

What’s the sia skill wheel for level 100-170

[lapis anchor]

U can check pinned message

#1060008793406181467 message

[strange laurel]

It's hard playing this class manual 😅

[lapis anchor]

This class is relatively high skill cap

That's why she has potential to be very strong DPS player

[haughty verge]

I opened quite a few nodestones and have alot of boost nodes that are not part of my 3 (that I have chosen previously). Do I just fuse them together and extract at level 25?

[lapis anchor]

Yeah, best if you extract only at lv25

Double the return

[haughty verge]

Like my concern is will I be needing these other 'base' boostnodes or I can freely just merge them together and extract

[lapis anchor]

Believe you will need 4 trios to max out all your skills

[haughty verge]

is there a cap to these? I'm like having overlapping boostnodes at the moment. So If I max everything here does that mean my antares/ray will be + 50%* 3 = 150%?

[lapis anchor]

Oh...

For your scenario, the answer is yes and no

Yes, you can still level up these current ones to 25, but each skill will have a cap at lv60 (+120% FD)

So you Canopus will Antares will be overlevelled

But you still can keep it like that first, in case your Izar-based trio with two other skills like "Izar + Fomalhaut + Starlight Link" for example

You can just feed your lv25 "Izar + Antares + Canopus" onto it, and you instantly get lv25 "Izar + Fomalhaut + Starlight Link"

[haughty verge]

I see! thank you for the explanation!

[upper karma]

Just be grateful you don’t have play it when the class was first released.

Doing combos within combos

[strange laurel]

It's hard to focus on the combo when you are bossing. Sometimes you press so fast you bypass the combo order

You have to maintain combos frequently due to the shirt cooldown

[upper karma]

That’s just skill issue

I guess server lag can make it a problem but just be careful

It’s a unique way to play a class

And it’s rewarding

[strange laurel]

Oh for sure it's just qol for me specifically.

[weak stratus]

For this you can change the sequence that you press the marking skills, there’s no fixed order to activate a constellation (except that using pole/link/shine as the first will fuse the single-mark constellations instead).

For example, Vega can be cast as ray link ray ray instead of ray ray ray link. Knowing this is important because you’re less likely to miss the last link if you cast ray x4 by mistake (and often cast sadalmelik/cup with link on next press).

As another example when I cast Canopus I do it ray pole link ray or ray link pole ray and so it is more likely to fuse in case I double click the starting or ending ray by mistake. This is a kind of “fault tolerance” so that if you miss a beat you can still fuse roughly what you were intending. For added flexibility you can start the boom constellations (formalhaut/bellatrix) with boom pole > ray ray or boom boom which gives an extra second to allow you to choose between the two

Here’s an example showing my stellagram fusing - you can see some variance in my constellations because cooldowns/reacting to latency between casting the mark and seeing it appearing on stellagram. (Latency especially bad if you don’t have good ping). Hope this helps!

[strange laurel]

Yes I was noticing some of this while playing with Sia manual. Some of the skill activated with a different order when link is involved

[vocal kayak]

Hi, just wondering did something happen to Sia's questline? It abruptly ended after speaking to Tru in Lith Harbour.

Just one level? Or does it continue way later?

[vague spire]

Fellow sia senpai, what to use the equalize skill on ?

[zenith thorn]

Pre-200 Canopus, Post-200 Sirius. You can also equalize and cast Capella before you start your AB, and then switch to Canopus/Sirius after so you’ll have the Capella buff up permanently

[zenith flame]

can i see a picture of a perfect completed nodes on his Sia?

i still trying to understand which nodes to build up

[lapis anchor]

Eventually you will need all six skills to be maxed out

[zenith flame]

i understand but i have to see....how it built up on the V-skills + how it built up on the skill while or on the skill system

[lapis anchor]

This is my current setup, eventually will max them out and get them close to lv60 when I'm approaching lv220

Basically for 4 trios of total 12 skill slots, I assign 1 skill to 2 slots each

So once all four trios at lv25 + 5, I will have all six of them at lv60

@zenith flame

[zenith flame]

thank you my friend i will follow it or some 1 else have another recommendation of skills...

[ancient prawn]

Which order to level up hyper passive?

Most of the skillwheel suggestion does not include formahault, which I direly need to survive with the dmg reduction. Anyone has a suggested skillwheel pre200 that includes formahault?

[haughty verge]

Anyone knows what it takes to solo CRA as a sia? anyone done it before? Like what is the ma/cdmg/BA/cp stats for reference

[weak stratus]

I think if you’re capping you can give it a shot, but best to increase MDC to 14-15m first to comfortably clear. To cap with buffs, BA should be 80-100, CD 300-400, base atk >30k thereabouts

For Pierre, our summons ignore hat colors (like Dmg reflect and ark orb color) so try to double wolf when he splits and burst both clowns at once. Sia can single dps CPierre

[haughty verge]

Am I doing smth wrongly. Im at 32kMA, BA 60.6%, CD 367% but I am not even close to capping.

[signal wind]

Are your trios maxed?

Hyper stats allocated?

[timber tinsel]

Are you use buff items?

[haughty verge]

nope. my hyperstats only maxed out on the first one.

[haughty verge]

yes just the chickie and the jellyfish actually

[strange laurel]

Can I argue appear Cd and persist is a better combination than Cd and enhance

That extra 30 seconds is better than the extra 10% fd

Ok NVM I was reading the pin message

That answered my question

@weak stratus in your pinned message stellar marking enhance vs marking persist. You talked about stellar marking then marking persist then you said you can change from stellar marking enhance to "this" what exactly is this? Are you referring to stellar marking enhance or marking persist?

[weak stratus]

From marking-reinforce duration to marking-persist, in the case that you 1) cap regardless without the FD boost from Reinforce Duration & 2) can benefit from the additional lines from Persist

[strange laurel]

I was going based off the video which the person chose appear enhanced

[strange laurel]

Ok you mean stellar-marking reinforce duration to marking-persist according to your first point in the pinned message. Stellar - marking reinforce duration is different from marking - reinforce.

[weak stratus]

oh! Yea thanks. The names, they confused me 😅 edited for clarity

[weak stratus]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=DQVpj16UCGM&si=Vh5OYNzPP4LQMw0e

[strange laurel]

Until you mess up the order on the stellar marking 😂 I know you can press down and ray to clear the marking but some people might still miss doing it

[weak stratus]

Oh. So far no issues. At the cracks that I cover, I just don’t attack for the few seconds prior to screen crack so that stellagram is clear

[strange laurel]

Does bishop gate stack with Sia v3? If both and cast and you died which buff will be subtracted first? How exactly does the v1 shine reset?

[weak stratus]

It stacks, and hourglass procs first

V1 resets if (i) you equip V3 in your V matrix & (ii) there isn’t any existing hourglass on the field

[strange laurel]

Ok thank you

[solemn totem]

Hey all

Currently trying to get an alt Sia to 200 and loving it

Any recommendation for skill wheel for Edge of Space?

Bro you're a genius

[solemn totem]

Could you show what that skill wheel would look like?

Currently don't have Canopus in presets

[strange laurel]

@weak stratus do you prefer Sia to get a support v4 or offensive one?

[lapis anchor]

Yes

[raw falcon]

anyone knows ab skill wheel for sf144 pre lv 200?

also hyper passives guide ? thanks 🙏🏻

[raw falcon]

i did.. haha but rly not sure where it is at. don’t seem to be in pinned either

you mind bumping that msg up ? thanks @upper kindle

[lapis anchor]

It’s very complicated, and quite many things to care about

You can check out the video from pinned messages

Can someone share best sia skill preset pre 200 for auto battle .

[raw falcon]

not sure if this is the best but i have just been using formalhaut , vega and stellar equalise vega

[weak stratus]

3. Fixed an issue where the Additional Functionality of Sia's "Marking Skill" would not be saved to her skillset.

Has anybody deciphered this one yet 😅

[lapis anchor]

I think it means the toggle on/off doesn’t save based on your skill set 1/2/3

Means now u could toggle off for one skill set, and on for another set?

I dunno man hahaha

[stable yacht]

Someone sell me sia wep ts is scarce (NA Scania)

[tough sapphire]

Hey so i have pretty much memorised sia's combo and can do them on the fly

my only problem is managing the amount of times i press my buttons

sometimes i overpress and ruin combos

anyone got tips?

im not using presets

[weak stratus]

Thanks!

[tough sapphire]

I have hahahaha

[weak stratus]

For constellations in which the order doesn’t matter (most of them) you can cast in a different sequence eg for Canopus, ray link pole ray instead of ray ray pole link. Even if you accidentally cast ray extra times for the first sequence, you are more likely to fuse something (still Canopus if you accidentally double cast ray, and Vega if you accidentally triple cast ray) rather than the second sequence (even one extra ray will mess it up into a non-constellation ie ray-ray-ray-pole)

[tough sapphire]

Yeah I've memorised them in order. Being able to combo out of order is something i need to practice then... thanks!

I'm also finding it hard keeping track of my buffs and when to rebuff lol

And if I'm bossing, if I turn off graphics, I have trouble keeping track of my combos. If I turn it on, I have trouble seeing boss animation

[lunar nova]

anyone help me hyper passive pls?

[tough sapphire]

hyperstat or hyperskill

[lunar nova]

hyper skill passive

[tough sapphire]

^

its under pinned msgs

[lunar nova]

ty so much

[tough sapphire]

i think to summarise (from top to bottom)
24589
or
23489 if you are hitting max cap

[dawn tulip]

Well, not like anyone would know if you ruined a combo. Just finish it with rays and start afresh… or restart your constellation with the equalise. I am personally the lazy kind, so I have everything in presets.

[tough sapphire]

Yeah is okay ill get there :/

[weak stratus]

exactly. Having to multitask all the time 😅

[tough sapphire]

I’ve put on my training wheels and selected longer buff durations. Makes it a lot easier

[strange laurel]

Maybe they will simplify it a little more

I made some suggestions in the feedback but there are a lot of thumbs down

#msm-feedback-qol message

[haughty verge]

Why shld they make it simpler lel

Its quite a perfect character.

[tough sapphire]

I think sia is fine right now. Classes that are harder to play should have higher dps/utilities And sia is pretty up there

[lapis anchor]

Agreed too, sia is a high skill cap character, and this is what makes Sia unique from other classes

Which excels well on both DPS and Support

Just sharing my Sia milestone, 28k MA solo Hmag 4min

[lapis anchor]

By not completing unique ring during event

That’s a part of soul made ring

[haughty verge]

Omg thats so crazy. Im at 34k MA but have yet to clear solo hmag.

[strange laurel]

The term 'hard' isn't quite right, but it's the fact that you have to multitask in Sia. You need to be aware of the stellar marking, combos, buff durations, and switch from offense to support depending on the situation, among other things. One challenge I face is making the wrong combos because I might be tapping too fast or diverting my eyes from the boss to check Stella markings, causing me to fail to refresh my buffs (like Bellatrix and Fomalhaut) on time. Sometimes, I cast them too frequently to ensure they're active. Additionally, when I switch to support, my DPS drops because I want to ensure the support markings aren't interrupted. My main goal was to avoid splitting our attention so we can focus more, especially during boss fights where mechanics are crucial. If Sia works well for players, that's great. However, if you want a change, share your opinions to improve it. There's no other class in this game where you have to multitask as much as Sia, and again, I'm not using the term 'hard.'

[jaunty obsidian]

very knowledgeable for me at least

[strange laurel]

Well I'm happy some people don't go through some of these issues 🤣. I like the class.

[jaunty obsidian]

I don't know endgame maplestory too well so choosing a main is hard and your paragraph tells my small brain- this class might be too much for you hahah

[strange laurel]

Yeah that's because it's a alt and had a learning curve. The amount of time I spend on it is limited.

[jaunty obsidian]

Oh yeaaa, I've been making a bunch of alts only so far to get the links & legion. While researching on how to gear and play certain classes

[strange laurel]

Btw why don't I see a final damage buff for capella when I have it active?

[strange laurel]

Never mind I can see the change in character info. The 5% doesn't show up on the buff icon though

[edgy mist]

can you share your Vmatrix pls? and also whats your emblem ratio?

[lapis anchor]

I only have 3 emblems, lv3 BA, lv1 CD and lv1 MA

But this is my V matrix build

Basically all 6 boosted skills, with each skill takes two of the four trio slots.

And I make use of the Matrix points to make sure Shine and Sirius levels are multiple of 5

[haughty verge]

😦 im so terrible at it. Im at 87m cp but only doing abt 50% before running out of lives.

[lapis anchor]

Priority for Hmag is to dodge attacks

If blindly attacks, 2 mins and you're out 😂

[mild wraith]

What is they hyper passive order?

[haughty verge]

do you have any tips on avoiding the charge attack. I always seem to be 'crippled' - for a lack of better word. I can't seem to jump sometimes.

[lapis anchor]

My best advise is to start moving away before he cast attacks 👀

Especially for Spin and charge attacks

Maybe like stop attacking for 1s before he attacks

[feral osprey]

Hi all, for Sia doing kerning tower, I stopped attacking when the dmg reflect started but I still died... Is there a particular skill that is passive and still reflect dmg?

[haughty verge]

nope

My general strategy for level 50 is just to use the summons and walk around until it dies so I dont remember such a passive skill that would reflect dmg

[swift pawn]

Hello there, Sia benefits more of full crit dmg or 6:2, 5:3 CDMG / BA emblems

[cosmic axle]

More CD the better but also limited and dependent on your max cap.

If you’re capping with 4:4 then 5/3, 6/2, 7/1, 8/0 doesn’t matter until you drastically increase your cap

[swift pawn]

ty

[strange laurel]

I reset my skill from 12589 to 23489. I feel like 23489 is better because I got slightly better numbers. Starlight link increased from 600+ hits in the training grounds to 900+ hits in 2 mins. Butt I'm not confident on my efficiency on the markings because I mess up sometimes. I'd want a pro Sia to test those builds :/

I'm not capping on damage either

[merry thistle]

Hey guys 👋👋
Just return playing couple of days ago from almost a year of np
Hope some can review my progress so far and hope to get some tips on what to focus to gain more power to start ra

[zenith flame]

yo bro what the different between your build to this build

[lapis anchor]

Hmm..

From my first glance, it appears to have no Fomalhaut and Algol skill in any of these trios

The other 4 skills (Antares, Starlight, Canopus and Izar) are allocated 3 times each

I think especially Fomalhaut contributed quite significantly in bossing DPS, which is what’s missed out from this build

[weak stratus]

Lotus battle analysis (with level 60 for all skills and capping). This is with hugging lotus half the time but the range is really so near for Formalhaut, I’m not sure if there is much room to optimize on moving targets

[lapis anchor]

My Fomalhaut did 3k++ lines in Lotus tho 🌝

Did u not apply Fomalhaut - Swirling in your bossing wheel? 😅

[cyan drum]

Hi all - level 147 sia here, does anyone have tips for hyper stats?

so many choices for damage - not sure which to choose

[lapis anchor]

Rule of thumb: Final DMG first, followed by Addidional damage

This generally applies for all classes

[cyan drum]

thanks!

and is there an order for additional damagem

[lapis anchor]

Don’t understand 😅

Maybe what I can say is

Max out one hyperstat first before starting up another

If this helps 😂😂

[cyan drum]

ah oke, just realise it costs 50m per stat xD out of my budget lol

and the hyper skill?

[lapis anchor]

U can read pinned message

[lapis anchor]

@weak stratus my run just now

[plucky chasm]

@lapis anchor can i peek what equipment u have?

@plucky chasm my gear doesn’t change much since this, except one lv40 mythic BA emblem cape I built recently

Oh, I also have my 5th commander accessory in my book

[plucky chasm]

@lapis anchor for the armor is it fine not go for set bonus?

[lapis anchor]

Yeah, just focus on the best stat for individual piece, like Muspell hat, Eligos Glove etc.

[plucky chasm]

btw do u have pba pbd table link? or pict?

[chrome raptor]

What is the recommended constellation skill config for bossing and AB? Is the formalhaut defense worth it or should i just get the extra lines?

If u can survive without the need of defence, you can consider going offence

[chrome raptor]

Thank you!

[lapis anchor]

You can check your base option from your gears, then add 10% to become PBA / PBD

But that shouldn’t not be your main focus

[frigid hollow]

For Bossing, would it be better to use Canopus or V1 for Stellar Equalize?

For Lotus and Arkarium

[weak stratus]

I didn’t! I’ll have to try this. Yours seems like it has more lines for sure

[crude ledge]

What cp or gear should i have to survive sf 144, just got there and its pretty intimidating how fast i die

[dapper lintel]

What skills? I really like Vega for auto battle. There is a pin that has a pre-200 skill wheel setup but I don't feel ready for it but if I have Vega going, I haven't had any problems the whole range of SF with nominal gear.

[echo oar]

Maybe buff

more information is on 14th

[quartz sorrel]

Looks like it lets you choose a skill to instantly reset the cd

[strange laurel]

Explain activation of all constellation

So it activates all constellation enhancement. Does that only include the buffs?

How to activate Alchiba in manual mode?

Ty in advance

[lapis anchor]

Cast “Pole” marking as your first star

So need to make sure your Stellegram is cleared out before casting Pole

[clear mesa]

Thank you

Play for months, didn't know lol

[gilded seal]

Hi, can anyone share their sia bossing skill route please 👀

i saw pretty much the mobbing route but doesn't see much bossing

[misty cairn]

what is the AB logic of Sia's preset?

like, preset Yellow will go first or smt

[misty cairn]

right i think i should tell the problem, for example i only have Vega and Antares preset in skillwheel

it just spams anteres at 1 point

first time using Preset

[lapis anchor]

Usually no use preset for bossing

[lapis anchor]

I think the star marking skills mention something like this

If that marking skill is on cool-down (say Link), the whole skill preset containing Link skill will be skipped

[misty cairn]

i see....thats why

[lapis anchor]

So recommend to have at least one of Antares or Algol preset

4x Ray or 4x Boom

[wide crest]

Is Sia easy to cap ?

[haughty verge]

cap what

depends on what your cap is

[nova wharf]

I think he meant to ask
does her skills have high damage on avrage

[uncut vault]

What Hyperstat should I invest in?

[nova wharf]

final dmg

mag dmg

additional skill dmg

max dmg

[silver lintel]

Hi anyone have any SIA auto battle skill rotation to share? I’m level 150.

I followed this one end up doomed. Not lvl 200 yet.

https://youtu.be/RfBw2AwG2jY?si=CaZCTqax5CLDYmuZ

[lapis anchor]

Which map were you farming currently?

[silver lintel]

SF 133

[lapis anchor]

Go to constellation enhancement, there should be a skill that relates to Fomalhaut

One of the options is by reducing your dmg intake by 30%, activate it

And your skill wheel must consist of Fomalhaut preset

[silver lintel]

Okie i will find that do you have ab skills for reference?

[lapis anchor]

How’s your current skill wheel like?

[silver lintel]

Imma kinda stuck here, can’t do SF 133

[silver lintel]

Sometimes wrong with the skill wheel, when i try to follow ^

[lapis anchor]

Maybe you can register the second preset into the wheel as well

But change all three Rays to Boom, so it creates Fomalhaut

[silver lintel]

Okie bro i try

[solemn totem]

Which V skills should I absolutely need for a farmer Sia

[strange laurel]

Probably the most interesting thing I've seen today https://youtu.be/2j2ZbTBcrjI?si=snOvh9_MuHM-zXz3

Survived that whole run on the v3

Maybe a few iframes to but that was impressive.

[solemn totem]

Do I need the wolf skill if my sia will be just a farmer

[lapis anchor]

Good to have

Quite a huge area, and and deal DoT for nearly 20s

[solemn totem]

Cool cool, do you have any post 200 farming AB wheels? Sia is insanely complicated post 200

[strange laurel]

The conservative build works for me. I wanted to include v3 and the damage reduction skill. The skills are constantly on most of the time. I didn't want to use moon's wheel because it didn't include the v3 and damage reduction. I'm trying to replace the front with the 170 hyper but I keep messing up not sure what I'm doing wrong. The 10 sec cool down for link messes it up.
https://youtu.be/oQ1viniqM94?si=nLJk93JNyxI_WIbX

[solemn totem]

I've been using this wheel and it's honestly a lot better than the moonbean wheel

[solemn totem]

You can't use the 170 hyper with this wheel? I've been using it and it feels like it works fine

[strange laurel]

Can I see you ab preset and wheel. When I insert the 170 hyper my order gets messed up as I'm trying to replace the frog

[solemn totem]

It's exactly the same as this

I put 170 hyper as stellar Equalizer

[strange laurel]

I'm using the conservative build the first one. Wolf is equalize

[solemn totem]

Yes I have everything the same except put the 170 skill as Equalizer because it triggers more often

[strange laurel]

Cool. I'll keep wolf in there

[solemn totem]

Why

[strange laurel]

The range is decent. Better than the 170 hyper

[uneven veldt]

Hi guys, any suggestion for surviving at SF144, newbie here just up to Sf144 with unique equipment and weapon + 5 yellow s rank jewel

[uneven veldt]

139level havent unlock hyper skill yet

[wide crest]

if you just only unique equip and level 139, you may should farm 147 or level up to 160 to farm 144

even mine sia with this equipment level 138 cannot survice 144 :v

[uneven veldt]

I see even with 5 yellow s rank ?Any other suggestion?

[wide crest]

level her up about 15x maybe

[quartz sorrel]

it'll be smooth sailing after you unlock the -40% dmg shell at 140

[wide crest]

what hyper skill should i level up ?

[wide crest]

which skill ?

[haughty verge]

im not sure but he might be referring to the -30% skill called fomalhaut

got to skill and under constellation skill enhancement - activate fomalhaut - quintile

[wide crest]

anyway, which hyper skill should sia level up ?

[wide crest]

thanks

[autumn carbon]

How old is she?

[tranquil plover]

Can anyone share an AB wheel pre lvl 200?

[turbid rampart]

Check pin

[vale needle]

Bro you can check 12:07 in the video to pre-cast 170 hyper and let other skills refresh it automatically in AB

[solemn totem]

150 hyper*

[vale needle]

That one is not efficient in auto battle

Small area long CD

[solemn totem]

30 second CD

Compared to 90 seconds for the V2 skill

[vale needle]

try Izar

[solemn totem]

Izar is also 30s right

[vale needle]

yeah but it has much wider range , almost full screen

the 150 hyper is good in bossing

[solemn totem]

But does way less damage right

My sia is farmer

So all nodes L1

[vale needle]

each hit does less dmg than the 150 hyper, but total dmg is way way more. if you have decent bas dmg, Izar should be enough to clear mobs

using 150 hyper for mobs is a waste of that intense dmg

[solemn totem]

Oh cool cool I'll try it out

[solemn totem]

Which enhancement should I be using

[vale needle]

I guess you can check this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XV4P5YuEcE

the 1st 3 mins is all about enhancement

[strange laurel]

I can't break 13k lines in 3 mond. V1 not maxed. If this class gets 18k lines in 3 mins wonder what I'm doing wrong.

[wide crest]

how many lines did you get in 3 mins ?

[strange laurel]

13k+ not even close to the 18k that shows on the charts.

[haughty verge]

omgggggg i finally did my first arkarium solo single mode as sia

🥲 bittersweet moments

[strange laurel]

Wolf range is kinda suspect..it doesn't seem like a large range at all

[turbid rampart]

It’s not the same range as hourglass

[green yacht]

Does anyone have or know where to find a V-matrix guide for Sia?

Just recently reached 200 on my Sia and don't really know which nodes to focus on.

[lapis anchor]

Sia only has 6 boosted skills, all 6 are important

[green yacht]

Thank you for the response 😊

[random aspen]

@turbid stump

[hearty gyro]

Hi peeps. No one in my guild plays Sia so I came here to find others to steal tips from 😄

[ancient prawn]

[upper kindle]

You should put the longest cooldown at the earliest of your presets like at preset 3 it should be ray link ray ray

[hearty gyro]

That's fair but it doesn't matter too much on that wheel cause there's only 1 link in my wheel so it never is on cool down when it comes back. Definitely will keep that in mind tho!

[upper kindle]

Also why don’t you just make preset 4 ray shine pole boom

[hearty gyro]

Because I don't want preset 4 being skipped if shine is on cooldown

[upper kindle]

The way you lay it out is can cause Sirius to mess up and it’s not robust at all

[hearty gyro]

I could put the boom in there

[upper kindle]

Unless you take out v3 purposefully

It actually ruins preset 1 and preset 2 if equalize is on cooldown too

The more I look at the wheel the worse it gets lmao

[hearty gyro]

If u have a better wheel suggestion for the goals I need, I'll take it. But I haven't found any resources to accomplish this so that's why I made it. Thanks for the honesty

[upper kindle]

dont need bellatrix

just make a robust wheel

https://youtu.be/RfBw2AwG2jY

[hearty gyro]

Yea I was using that wheel but I needed formhaut up 100% of the time which lead me to my #1/#2 presets

This was good for nodes but I struggled living in 194 because my gear needs work

I'll try dropping the Bellatrix tho since I don't really need that to live

[upper kindle]

yeah i would keep both preset 1 and 2 and just make preset 4 cast sirius and not bother with bellatrix

[untold igloo]

can full unique survive 144/147?

[lapis anchor]

I think minimally Legendary weapon and character lv140 (for the Fomalhaut DMG reduction 30%)

Maybe still need one legendary outfit

[haughty verge]

omg i cleared solo lotus after 9 attempts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[haughty verge]

Copied the question here 🙂 would love to receive any advise to make my run smoother!

can I ask about withstand 4. What constitutes being attacked.
Is it the same as being damaged?
Like can it get proc-ed by fair trade?
i cant see any description before crafting it. I'm currently playing a sia at level 215. Im using 4 boost nodes, 3 skill nodes, ds4, ethereal. So it leaves me w 2 nodes that i can potentially unlocked.

[haughty verge]

Is okie I was just told that i cannot arm 2 special nodes at the same time.

[lapis anchor]

I just left a comment on your ur reddit post (I think it’s your video 😂)

Congrats on your first clear btw!

[haughty verge]

thanks for being so specific w your comments. Can't wait to try it again next week with these new found knowledge.

[wide crest]

Congratulation

[brisk vale]

Hi guys, what hyper stats and skills should I be adding?

[lavish horizon]

you can check the pinned for skills and for hyper stats i believe will depend on your goals, i started with FD for bossing but i believe exp is good for training

[haughty verge]

is there a mdc gauge on solo arkarium on multimode? the screen crack appears really too fast to ethereal/survive w shine.

or even to bring it down by 70%? anyone has experience doing this

[weak stratus]

If hourglass is already up, there shouldn’t be a need to worry about crack, as the death-rebirth buff will be active. The intervals between cracks are the same as multi - each at stages of 20% HP - so you can get ready for Alchiba/Sadalmelik prior, if you wanted to use those to block crack instead

Regarding MDC I don’t have an exact number, although Sia tends to be more forgiving compared to other classes and you could just probably death-rebirth the whole 10mins

[haughty verge]

it really feels like multimode cracks are more frequent? Let me try that again but thanks for your reply!!!!!! really appreciate it.

[weak stratus]

Oh wait you mean solo in multiplayer mode? Yeah the orbs are going to hit the centre and crack will be non stop every few seconds

[upper kindle]

cracks are every 20% of ark's health so you can look at the healthbar and predict

[haughty verge]

yes im talking about multiplayer mode

the solo mode is fine no worries. We are quite privileged for solo mode

[haughty verge]

yes omg i dont have much experience on this. Do you mind elaborating more about the orbs?

like i respawn and it almost feels like he cracks agn

[upper kindle]

if the orbs reach the centre he just keeps cracking

so have to restart the run

[weak stratus]

For multiplayer mode, there are red and blue orbs that move toward the centre and require the players to hit the corner towers based on the colour on top of their character. If either orb hits the centre, ark starts cracking continuously, so team members need to watch for the right color and hit the corner towers. The players’ colors will alternate every now and then

[weak stratus]

Even if Sia can revive ad infinitum with hourglass refreshes I don’t think there is any point in soloing multiplayer, since there is a solo mode now.

[strange laurel]

Sia is a very good class. I do still struggle on trying to play it offensively and defensively at the same time 😊

[haughty verge]

ahhh im just testing out how far i can go before i get my guildies in on this. Trying our best to make multi ark a possibility haha

[strange laurel]

Once you get that v3 and u just focus on surviving it was be easy. Obviously your teams needs good DPS to clear

[weak stratus]

Ohh I see! In that case, you’ll need at least one buddy so you hit the right colors and push back the orbs before they converge at the centre

[haughty verge]

tysm!

[strange laurel]

Isn't anyone annoyed that sadalmelic and alchiba is an area of effect iframe. If you are too far from ur party member it doesn't work.

[weak stratus]

Hmm I find it ok, it is almost the whole screen. Sometimes I don’t really centralize myself in ark’s crack but it still covers most of the team

[upper kindle]

Isn't anyone annoyed that antares and fomalhaut and vega and canopus and sirius is an area of effect damage spell. If you are too far from the boss it doesn't work.

[strange laurel]

Lol I just had a few instances where my iframe missed a person both of them since I wasn't in range.

[haughty verge]

Personally i find that its okie!

[weak stratus]

I’ve not had issues with team members tombing, maybe because hourglass is usually up 😅 in fact I’ve seen someone use that as the shell and keep sadalmelik as “bene” after the first couple curses to specifically block snake instead of crack

[ancient prawn]

Do you have some video of u doing ark w your team?

[upper kindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQVpj16UCGM

[strange laurel]

Wait I just noticed Sia doesn't have a third common skill. Am I missing something?

For 5th job

Mages have mana over load, ethereal form . Explorer has unreliable memory

[ancient prawn]

How does alchiba function in ark? Does the “nullify attack” prevent crack and that’s it? It can’t prevent snake curse?

[ancient prawn]

Under what circumstances do you use alchiba ?

[strange laurel]

It's like the shade 4th job skill

Nullifies 1 attack

In total 3

[ancient prawn]

What’s a good order for hyper passive skill for low gear sia? I notice in pin it’s about line increase but I’m very very far from capping so any hyper passive that can raise my damage for now is good and I’ll reset for more line when time comes

[ancient prawn]

Omg yes that’s the perfect way to explain it

But what can it not nullify?

[strange laurel]

It nullifies all attacks but remember only 3

[ancient prawn]

What boss skill is that useful for?

[weak stratus]

It blocks 3 instances/hits of damage, including self inflicted damage like fair trade

[strange laurel]

Oh thx for mentioning fair trade..hey what about Sia common skill

Why is she missing one

[ancient prawn]

Ohhhh

That’s the important part

[weak stratus]

I don’t think there is status resist, but I’ll have to test out to be sure - probably in solo with fair trade off to see if curses still hit

[ancient prawn]

What’s the rotation if multi ark with no bish or phantom

Like support skill wise

[weak stratus]

Common skill? Like unreliable memory? Not sure how that’d work for Sia

[strange laurel]

No I'm saying Sia only have 2 common skills. Why is that? Everyone else has 3

[weak stratus]

https://youtu.be/Wx_tRwJCCVo?si=XXk_mLV_MkRlryJB

Clwsia did an excellent guide!

[ancient prawn]

Yes I have seen this one too

Those are the only two I could find on YouTube

What happens to snake curse if no bish?

[weak stratus]

So essentially keep hourglass up at all times, Alchiba can cover some cracks (probably two only), and reserve Sadalmelik for snake curse

[ancient prawn]

What’s snake curse

After pillars? Like when do we exactly use sadal

[weak stratus]

The key principle of support in Ark is preventing mass deaths, of which (assuming people play properly and don’t hit dmg reflect or let orbs converge) there are 2 sources:

1. Crack (at each 20% and every 30s when under 20%)
2. Snake curse (poison deals 155k dmg)

[ancient prawn]

Alchiba probably not too needed since we have hourglass right

[ancient prawn]

So how do we prevent this as sia?

[lapis anchor]

Missing 2nd common skill, Sia only has Mana overload (Mage V1 common) and Ethereal form (Mage V3 common)

Sia doesn't belong to any class category yet, so V2 common skills probably still in development

[weak stratus]

Sia is in its own class 😇 ⭐️

[upper kindle]

i love running into running into everyone else when no bene i become snek

[upper kindle]

save money one less skill to level and one less slot to open

[weak stratus]

This happens soon (around 10 seconds), but not immediately after fire pillars; use Link to make Sadalmelik just before ark uses this curse

[ancient prawn]

But sadal doesn’t last that long, no?

[lapis anchor]

The snake poison has been nerfed in few months back, become 85k dmg only

Normally I use sadalmelik when Ark banishes one players into dark portal, so it can last through the snake and puppet control

[ancient prawn]

So what if I sadal when snake curse animation happen?

And if people get the puppet curse then just let them run around and die, I’ll just cast shine again

That’s pretty much the last 2 skill bishop uses right? Bene for snake curse and dispel for puppet curse

[weak stratus]

Thanks this is great!

[upper kindle]

this is the most a2l people i have seen talking at once

[drifting saddle]

What are the best 12 link skills for Sia?

[strange laurel]

I don't understand what you mean.

[haughty verge]

it seems that you are pretty new, given your questions in msm-game-help channel. If that is the case, may I suggest at least getting the explorermagex3stack + all the exp link skills? It will help you a long way in your training.

[lapis anchor]

In Multi Arkarium, boss have a series of debuffs (Banish > Snake transform > puppet curse)

If u cast Sadalmelik shortly before snake transform, it lasts long enough to block all players against puppet curse as well

[ancient prawn]

What would be the recommendation for hyper stat for support-focused sia with low gear? The pinned one mentioned a lot of when capping, which will be a very long time for me

Would the hyper that gives markijng -10% hp scaled be useful to help tank boss hit / Magnus w low gear instead of more line on our other skill?

[dusky hornet]

HP scale reduce is only useful up until magnus so it's not really worth it either

[weak stratus]

Sadalmelik is good enough (30s HP scaled reduction) and it protects the whole party, unlike that hyper skill - your intention is to focus on support

[upper kindle]

the greatest way to reduce damage taken is to make the run go faster by dealing more damage

[ancient prawn]

Agreed but this is our a newer crew with no big pp dps

[lapis anchor]

Primary focus is to know how to dodge the bosses skills

It's a good thing that Magnus and Arkarium has a fixed attack cycle

[ancient prawn]

Yea that really helps predict the next move

[astral lynx]

What do we think of passive hyper skill marking reinforce? I think it’s a must before capping as it’s 20FD for all marking skills, but the pinned message does not mention it. Did I miss something?

[upper kindle]

because hit count is way better than 20% FD even if uncapped

[astral lynx]

Yes I did the marking extra strike, but was debating between 1. Marking - Reinforce 2. Stellar marking - enhance (extra starlight link, I think it’s 6 extra lines per fusion not 12?) 3. Marking-persist (extra pole and link duration).

[astral lynx]

It seems either of the 3 choices gives roughly 3% overall more dmg.

[upper kindle]

i went with 2

[astral lynx]

Did some analysis and I'm now convinced about 2. Thanks! For my case, 1 adds 2%; 2 adds 3.2%; 3 adds 1.5% overall damage at Hmag.

[ancient prawn]

What’s your full hyper passive choices now? Are u capping?

[astral lynx]

I will switch to 24589 (from 12589 right now).

I'm partial capping (cap for 4 skills ish). Thus, 1 means almost nothing to me since Ray is capping.

If your Ray is not capping, and you have lvl60 boost Ray, and your Ray does 23% total damage in bossing, then you should get 2% dmg from 1.

[ancient prawn]

Gotcha no I’m not near capping yet

So 1 it is for now

And I’ll reset to 2 once I comfortably cap

[astral lynx]

mobbing is a different story but 2 should also be better for bossing even if uncapped as @upper kindle said, unless you are far from high level boost nodes.

[weak stratus]

12 starlight lines, added to each constellation fusion

[astral lynx]

Why is it 12? Isn’t it 3+3?

I tested the original starlight that’s 6 lines in total. (Excluding the 6 additional lines per 3 seconds)

[weak stratus]

The original starlight is 3+3 (if you use Bellatrix-Comet enhancement)

The hyper skill, Stellar marking-enhance, gives an additional six

[astral lynx]

Ah Yes, agreed. I thought you meant additional 12.

[weak stratus]

Yes, excluding the starlight from bellatrix buff, and also, assuming single target bossing which doubles starlight hits

[livid nimbus]

lf > sia wife

[strange laurel]

23489 is what I did

I'll switch back to 23689 when I get free reset scroll. I don't really care about #4 hyper. Prioritize survivability and get 6. Thank me later

[astral lynx]

I don’t remember where but I saw that hp scaled dmg reduction only helps below mag. Is that the case?

[strange laurel]

All those mag,lotus, Damien has HP scale damage skill

Ur going to need it moving forward

[lapis anchor]

All skills in Lotus phase 1 and falling debris in Phase 2 onwards are scaled to Max HP, the rest are either regular damage or fixed number

Damien attacks are all fixed number, not scaling to anything

[dusky hornet]

HP scale reduce is useful up until magnus and not after that

Lotus is HP scaled but so high that it'll mess you up either way even with reduce

Rest is regular damage

[weak stratus]

To add on, even for Magnus, i think sadalmelik is good enough. Just alternate with the bishop in your team, the whole party won’t take any damage outside of blue zone or from bleed stacks/spin.

That hyper skill you’re speaking of is only a self buff

[ancient prawn]

For a sia with not a lot of v matrix slot open and low gear, would keeping just 1 set of perfect trio (2 slots) be better during bossing? I’m thinking of just leveling the trio with Canopus, Vega/izar, and antares and use that as my bossing nodes. That’d open up two slot to equip decent skill buff. The other nodes will be shell, Algol, and starlight link.

[lapis anchor]

You don’t have to reserve any node slot for decent buff in the early stage

Decent buffs only comes after you maxed out your trios and have your V skills being placed and still have some extra slots to spare

[ancient prawn]

instead of equipping the 32more mobbing oriented trinodes, I’m thinking of equipping even just rope lift for the extra ma%

[strange laurel]

Ok you are right

[lapis anchor]

There are five offensive boost nodes anyway, so you need at least 4 slots for lv25 boost nodes anyway

Shell and starlight link also have significant contribution to bossing content

[astral lynx]

Yes, Canopus, Vega/izar, and antares. This is the best choice. If you don't have many slots you probably don't have lvl25 nodes or lvl5 slots. I'd recommend using the 3 v skills + 3 (Canopus, Vega/izar, and Antares) boost nodes so that you have lvl60 boost skills, e.g. lvl 55lvl nodes + 5lvl slots (the rest slot lvls can apply to v skills). If you have spare slots, the other 3 kinds of nodes matter more than the extra ma% or the extra decent skills.

[ancient prawn]

I’ll have to test out the dmg difference between sacrificing the 2 boost nodes for speed infusion and sharp eye

But on my other char it helped a lot

[astral lynx]

Did some math and I think I agree. If your main skills (Canopus, Vega/izar, and Antares) are not capping yet and there is no teammate with these buffs, then the decent skills are comparable to (if not better than) the (3 kinds of) low-priority nodes. In my case, both will give 3%-4% overall dmg output per node (assume no capping).

[ancient prawn]

Yea exactly. If capping then it’s a different story

@echo belfry

[echo belfry]

Hey guys i just created my sia and i reached lvl 200, i dont know anything about this class lmao, but i like how is the gameplay

Are you guys able to share with me the best skill wheel for bossing

And wich are the perfect trio nodes

Also if you guys selling a necro weapon too🥰

[haughty verge]

i personally dont use preset for bossing

its preferrable for u to have all the skills on the trio

so abc, cba, def, fed

4 slots

i guess

[echo belfry]

Being honest im new in this class and i dont understand

How the constellations works

And all that😂 im slow brain

At the moment im not that strong but i will like to know like a preset for support dpm ?

[echo belfry]

Explain me this please

[haughty verge]

hmm? is this ur first level 200 ever?

if it is I suggest that you read up on nodes first

then u can check the pinned guides that others have kindly written 🙂

[echo belfry]

Thanks, no

I had an evan lvl 240 wich i sold it, and a pally

But is my first time ever playing Sia

And i really liked the class

[lapis anchor]

@echo belfry By any chance do you know Invoker from Dota?

Basically we have two different types of skills - Marking skills and Constellation skills

We have 5 different marking skills, one for each job tier
(1 - Ray | 2 - Boom | 3 - Pole | 4 - Link | 5 - Shine lv200)

A specific combination of four marking skills will create a constellation
(Ray Ray Boom Pole --> Bellatrix)
(Ray Ray Ray Link --> Vega)

[echo belfry]

Okay

[echo belfry]

No bro, but I'm understanding what you saying

[lapis anchor]

Haha then it's great

In addition, the four markings can be in any order

Ray Ray Ray Link --> Vega
Ray Ray Link Ray --> Vega
Ray Link Ray Ray --> Vega

[ancient prawn]

Sia is complicated. It’s a wall of text trying to explain. I’d say watch some sia guide on YouTube regarding AB skillwheel so u have an idea how she plays. And then come back here for clarification. That’s what I did.

Only msm class guide that’s 40+ min each video

[upper kindle]

remember old invoker with 27 spells

before they reduce to 10 spells

[echo belfry]

I see bro

One question

How i activate my v3 again?

[ancient prawn]

Single cast shine

[echo belfry]

Good morning how are yall today?

I played those days going to ark and everything, I have a question, for activate v3 we just single cast shine perfect, and I can spam those for support

But, If I use my other skills, without using Shine, I can still spamming shine for the support right? I'll be losing dps but I still guarantee my best support skill

I'm making my tests tn

[ancient prawn]

Yes

To dps and keep shine up is a feat!

I have been practicing. I start out with just spamming Antares

So I don’t have. To look at boss much

I’d start by casting shine

Then hyper170 buff skill

Then Vega (I haven’t tested if casting Vega first or Canopus first will result in better dps) and then spam Antares, insert Vega/Canopus once link is off cd

I equalize shine and keep shine off cd in case I mess up, and I def do mess up sometimes

[strange laurel]

This is the most challenging class to play

[livid nimbus]

I give him a month

[ancient prawn]

The preset is just boom-boom

10 min eos count is 1770

Wondering if anyone else have any recommended eos wheel?

[ancient prawn]

Is sia line count post v3 right now amongst some of the highest?

The 25m mdc equal funding chart

[upper kindle]

Yes

[echo belfry]

Guys wich hyper skills you choose? And why?

[lavish horizon]

i personally follow the pinned hyper skills

[ancient prawn]

Does it seem like a kinda weak v4 skill to u guys?

[weak stratus]

Sirius hit count is 13 and Antares is 3, so this v4 sounds quite good for the line counts

[lapis anchor]

In addition, when V4 is active, both enhancement effects apply for every constellation

Like Canopus you can either have it last longer or increase hit count per tick

When V4 activates, Canopus increase hit count and last longer

[raw falcon]

where do you see v4 skills ?

[dusky hornet]

V4 is insane imo

Huge FD boost, pretty good line count increase and indeed both enhancements

[ancient prawn]

Oh wow that’s actually so good

@strange laurel I think your suggestion might make Sia's gameplay more confusing 😂

Believe Sia still needs to have consistent mechanics, where 1-star fusions are buff constellation & 4-star fusions are active skills

What I think you can suggest is: When fusion failed or player resets the Stellagram with down arrow + Ray, the related marking skills on the Stellagram resets their CD

Like if let's say we applied “Ray + Boom + Pole + Link", these doesn't lead to any fusion, so Link and Pole will reset CD

I sometimes accidentally used the wrong star and failed to cast Sirius, that cost my huge chunk of DPS and I know it's frustrating haha

[strange laurel]

Thx for the feedback. My aim for players not to have divided attention when playing Sia. What ever approach they chose to help this case is fine with me

[lapis anchor]

Actually Sia can still be played without much attention

Just don't spam the skill buttons

Press the skills one by one, and you will get through it by muscle memory

[strange laurel]

That's the issue a lot of Sia players will spam

[lapis anchor]

As a Sia player, I don't really spam much

[strange laurel]

Many still do mess up combo order when playing because they spam

[ancient prawn]

So if I cast shine in a constellation, then reset constellation with down+ray, will the cooldown of shine be refunded?

[lapis anchor]

Something like that... is what I think can improve Sia

[ancient prawn]

Oh oh

[lapis anchor]

Though she already has a high DPS and utility, with a high skill-cap gameplay

I think she is fine as what she is now

[ancient prawn]

Honestly she’s on the more op side since her dps is crazy for such a high utility class. Like pally.

I don’t understand why a support class like pally should be #1 dps

[lapis anchor]

The Sia Gurus can support really well while maintaining the DPS

[ancient prawn]

Imagine bishop has 18k line counts…

[lapis anchor]

Provided if the team doesn't rely on hourglass 😂

[lapis anchor]

My 1st main is bishop, and 2nd main is Sia... So...

[ancient prawn]

Oh nice

[lapis anchor]

My Sia only has necro weapon, and mythic armours on the other parts

[strange laurel]

With Sia buffs as well the cool down is a bit short I notice with multiple players I ask. Not high level Sia players but the lesser skilled ones. They feel it's necessary to constantly cast each combo because they feel the buff will end soon

[ancient prawn]

I’m Evan. Probably will make sia my 2nd now. Her utility too good. And I’m practicing dps while keeping hourglass up indefinitely. It’s so much micromanagement

[strange laurel]

Again the buffs and the combo system divides attention to some players

[ancient prawn]

One issue I recently realize w sia is there’s no good dps with pole. Like when link is available, I can do Canopus or refresh Vega storm. But with pole which had a shorter cd, it’s just refreshing bellatrix and conch buff.

And we really have to choose do I wanna use link for the iframe, or refresh Vega, or cast Canopus
