Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 3)

-
(continue from Part 2)

Lana
Mender/Sorcerer (alternate: Mender/Druid)
Counter: Root
Secondary passives: Eruptor, Economy (alternate: Double Cast, Economy)

Mender is a great support class: it can heal, remove any debuff and resurrect. I recommend at least one character using this class.

Since Mender has no offensive abilities at all, the Sorcerer class can complement it well especially with the chosen passives. However, the latter's class is bad if enemies have counter such as Pounce, Slow and Magic. In that case, I'll use Druid instead because of Total Shield and Dispel. Its offensive abilities should be used on enemies that don't have those counters. Economy and Mana Font (from Mender's class) make Double Cast much doable.

The Root counter is great in putting distance between Lana and the attacker.

Virgil
Plague Doctor/Gadgeteer
Counter: Renew
Secondary passives: Smart Casting, Malice

With what he can wear and use, Virgil can, theoretically, be just behind the frontliners and use the classes' short range abilities. The combination of classes has a variety of abilities: buff, debuff, damage and heal. Also, Gadgeteer's abilities are Special and so Evade Skill and Evade Magic counters are useless againts them.

However, I discovered that oftentimes I ended using only a handful of abililities: Recover, Poison, Heal Burst, Speed Generator and Molecular Infuser. Moreover, Speed Generator is worse than Alchemystic's Mass Haste. I might be playing wrongly...

Smart Casting makes casting AOE abilities so much easier and the increased debuff duration from Malice is great.

Since he has no single healing target (Recovery doesn't heal much), Renew counter is good at supporting him at frontline.


HIRED CHARACTER:

Anwen
Scoundrel/Gunner
Counter: Renew
Secondary passives: Know Weakness I & II

She was meant to be Gunner/Knight, to take advantage of the Knight's One for All abilities with two guns. However, I felt like I wasn't getting much out of it, mainly because Gunner's debuff abilities are too good to pass up.

So I switched to this combination for even more debuffs: Scoundrel's Dirty Hit and Arterial Cut. In addition, they count as Regular Attacks and so using the Quarreler bow has the chance of inflicing two debuffs. Scoundrel's Sneak Attack, which is the third ability that follows weapon's range, supposedly does lots of damage but I didn't need to use it yet.

Why not Gunner/Scoundrel for increased range (but lower damage though)? Same reason given in Reiner's build: Speed.

The chosen passives increase critical chance significantly, which will increase damage as well the chance of landing debuffs.

As you might have guessed by now, Renew counter is chosen for increased self-reliant

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I ...

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba...

Sudden lower body pain

-
About two weeks ago, my mum developed pain in her pelvic bone, much more on the right side, and squeezing pain in her legs, with occassional spike in pain. She was managing it with paracetamols, 2 tabs three times daily.  Since we didn't know any particular orthopedist in private hospitals (it was only recently that I remember Dr Prashant ), I targeted one at KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital since it's in mainland Penang (instead of on the island). I made appointment for my mum with Dr Joehaimey since he has the earliest suitable date. The moment she walked through his door, he immediately asked her whether the pain from her right side. We were both quite impressed. He was in turn impressed with mum's prepared list of medication that she presented to him on a piece of paper. The key information seems to be the surgery she had back in 2011 to insert titanium plate and screws in her lower spine. He guessed that there's accumalated wear and tear due to aging. So to confirm i...
