For Both

Tips & Tricks

Added new video to replace the 2017 Dive Roll video

For NA Players

As current level cap is 80, here’s a level 80 cap Ranger builds for most classes. These skill trees includes the 14 SP from completing the NPC quests from your class trainer. If only 10 SP is available, then there’s an alternate build that plays around with 10 SP (Ranger/Hunter only).

Consider checking out the JP -> NA Translations wiki to see what’s been changed between the two versions.

Blue text indicates NA variant of the name, if applicable.

Added Ayer/Cras write up

Gearing Up – Units

Added Cras units.

No, we’re not dead yet. Real life obligations has greatly slowed us in making frequent updates, but we’re still here! Rotations video still on the backburner, sorry!

08/01/20

Weapons

Updated rifle and launcher tier charts to reflect “Plus” potential on Lightstream weapons.

Honorable Mentions & Recommended

Replaced artwork on both pages with some new faces..

Added a note on Ceres-Zara weapon series with some viability at the expense of crafting and/or using several situational affixes.

Added an update on weapons that received “Plus” potentials but were not reflected in the tables.

Gearing Up – Units

Added a short analysis on the new Lightstream unit upgrade and another note as we head closer to the end of EP6’s story.

What to expect in the future (Late August – October):

– Vortex Byde placement and analysis (a bit late aren’t we?)

– Updated gear progression for NA as EP4 content releases, though don’t expect much changes.

– Maybe something concerning raid boss strategy, which fits under an umbrella of “Ranger’s photon art usage & “rotations” against enemies”. (This likely means overhauling Tips & Tricks to be a more complete and informative strategy section. For now it’s on the backburner due to COVID and personal scheduling.)
