Tips
- Consider the availability of skills when equipping weapons, as some are only accessible in later Strata or after specific boss battles.
- Passive skills like Petrification Effect and Arm Bind Effect can be powerful for controlling enemies without using TP.
- Support skills that boost resistances or DEF, such as Galvanic Finger and Hallowed Shield, are crucial for survivability.
- Field skills like Rare Breed Rate UP and Holy Flame offer utility outside of combat.
- Pay attention to weapon-specific effects; for instance, the Parrot Cannon is better suited for a Warlock due to its reliance on INT.
