Dude the amount of detail in this video is fantastic thank you so much

[@larryluckmonkey9121]

u are the greatest human guy on bdo with such wow content i love you

[@fuji1012]

I see alot musa use projection combo, but for really tanky targets it is not enough. When i fight full pen lvl 9 i do this: DB or Q stun>crosscut>backflow (if got time)>Twister>Crust crusher>foul play>BTB>Crevice>dash slash. Hope it helps.

[@Djinnz]

Would be great to have the combination of skills written down in the comments, great video thanks a lot!

[@windrunner2833]

There's a lot of language in this video I don't understand as I just started the game. I will come back to it if I can find some video that tells what everything means.

[@MaxMax-qq3vu]

nice skill bro! good work

[@yudipunggolcabal]

Very Detailed . Thank you

[@jurizen7521]

Great video mate. I'm a ps4 player. I'm curious why dont you use below the belt bsr?

[@Stellz]

I don't find it to be very useful. I always use the 10% dash slash bsr. I also prefer to use my 100% projection ulti whenever I have it. The 100% is a great tool and super useful even if you don't kill the enemies because of the 50% damage wound.

[@jurizen7521]

@@Stellz I got ya thanks man.

[@genwu3825]

How's the warrior compare to musa currently?I have difficulty of choosing between them'

[@Stellz]

Shen George warrior is a great class. It can do everything. Stronger in 1v1s than musa, tanky, great protection, bursty movement, good pve, good largescale. Check out people like Vangertz/McHands/Whole if you want to see some high level play/guides

[@TheUbnubProduction]

Also what is the best pve combing after applying all those buffs? Is it just below the belt and cross cut till BTB is back?

[@Stellz]

Unless you are at hystria/aakman/star's end, just rotate all your skills. Doesn't really matter as long as you are 1-2 tapping everything. At other places, just do prebuffs before/inside every pack of monsters (spinner atk speed, addons, blind thrust crit buff etc).

[@1991sub]

What crystals i use on kutum ?

[@Isadroid]

What was you did at 8:17 the double buff?

[@musamain4255]

its just his musa spirit and his rabam heal (shift +x)

[@Isadroid]

@@musamain4255 Ohhh thanks

[@davithchhung7577]

Change blooming add-on to rising storm ( +do +ats) for high end game large scale pvp.

[@crypticshadow7092]

Hey @stell thank you so much for this guide! New PS4 player and without this I wouldn’t be enjoying musa that much! Just had a question. Before getting boss armor gear should we aim for Rocaba or Grunil?

[@HamiltonNgo-A24]

Cryptic Shadow 2 piece heve and 2 piece grunil heve helmet and gloves for the 200 hp and the grunil armor and boots for all AP +5

[@Stellz]

Grunil/Heve are both good choices. I usually recommend Heve because the HP is going to be better in the long run.

[@Idkmanlemmeedit]

Anyone know why he has some skills learned but has them locked? Like you have to invest points into the next stage not the ones that come with the character

[@Stellz]

Some skills you are required to take along the way to something else. Such as picking up triple shot on the way to stub arrow. However, you lock triple shot because its a bad skill and also allows you to insta cast stub arrow. Some other skills you also may not want to use in PVP, so you lock them outside of PVE

[@Idkmanlemmeedit]

@@Stellz oh thank you!

[@mr.frosty8564]

Thank you mr. musa man

[@Itzwizb]

Instead of locking skills we don’t want can’t we just respec out of them? Distribute those sp somewhere else..I play on console so I’m not sure how different the lock system is

[@murdablood1]

Left stick

[@Stellz]

Some of the skills you have by default, or may be required to unlock a necessary skill down the line. But if you have the option to just not spec into it, by all means do that.

[@holopolo1480]

Is musa better than maehwa in pvp as well？Coz he has one stiff arrow shot skill in the skill enchantment，which maehwa dont have

[@Stellz]

Currently, I think Musa is better overall than Maehwa. In 1v1, smallscale, NW/Siege, and PVE.

[@holopolo1480]

@@Stellz fuck im a maehea ，and I feel bad

[@nvlamd]

hi, im new player from SEA server, what's difference between musa and maehwa? which is the best do u think?(pvp and pve) and why? thanks. subscribed 👍

[@Stellz]

nauval amedyan I have never played Maehwa so I am not the best person to ask about the class. Musa is better in most people spots throughout the game, including hystria and aakman. Maehwa is better at Hystria and most likely will be better at the underwater spot as well. As far as NW/Siege goes, I think that Musa has the upper hand with our super armors and high burst in my opinion. 1v1s, both maehwa and musa have their pros and cons. You should definitely ask someone with experience on the class though, since my thoughts just come from what I have seen and heard

[@nvlamd]

@@Stellz okay noted, and what u gonna do with green drop weapon/armor? (after grinding) do u sell at market or just sell at npc? cos probably no one buy it, ty ^^

[@miuletzmitzu6641]

Imo (as someone who played musa) musa is a bit better pve and maehwa is a bit better pvp

[@michaelpowell3204]

So, Double and Triple Shot aren't required for Absolute Stub Arrow. Do you know if there is any reason to buy the skills?

[@Stellz]

You have to get them for absolute stub arrow. Only difference is 2% accuracy, 1 second lower cd, slightly more damage (still pretty much 0 damage). No reason not to get if you have a ton of points

[@michaelpowell3204]

@@Stellz Are you sure about that? I haven't tested it with an Armstrong Skill Guide but if BDOCodex dependencies are to be believed all you need is Stub Arrow II for Absolute. That you can lock Double or Triple Shot and still have Absolute work seems to support that theory...

[@darrenm2744]

Can the blooming be cancelled like that on Xbox? Been trying but doesn't seem to work from awakening or chase. Blooming just seems like a waste on Xbox because the animation is so slow.

[@Stellz]

I am not sure. Xbox may have some limitations due to using a controller and having frame rate caps

[@neilichan]

do you recommend hoom crystals for musa?

[@Stellz]

Hoom for NW/Siege. I run macalod for 1v1s/pve/open world for stamina build. Really just comes down to what you are doing and how you would like to play

[@MrLazyleader]

@@Stellz What about 2 hooms/macalod in sub weapon so I can run eva crystals in helmet?

[@innocentdevl9499]

whats other best crystal for armor if you dont have macalod yet

[@Stellz]

Ancient Magic Crystal Cobelinus, Black Magic Crystal Vigor, Ancient Magic Crystal of Abundance. All decent choices. Or HAN Hooms of course.

[@ssgj_luke4486]

Does movement speed affect musa or is it like ninja and not required

[@Stellz]

Chase scales with movement speed. Important to have

[@IllTygerKing]

Why not use dash slash near the start for the -20 dp debuff?

[@Stellz]

Using a downsmash at the end of a combo, ie; Dash Slash, can allow you to extend your combo and use more abilities if the downsmash applies itself.

[@IllTygerKing]

@@Stellz thanks! Shows how much of a noob I am! XD

[@mryouwouldliketoknow67]

I appreciate the whole... PVP guide for 1v1 solos. But it doesn't really matter does it now? The lag in the game creates uncertainty.. therefore, on an equal playing ground, you either win or lose depending if you were able to catch your opponent before the server decided to read where they were or not.

[@蔡成安-q9b]

can you tell me how to use the white circle on the ground?

[@Stellz]

Press Ctrl and move your mouse cursor around

[@ZebNiko]

I forgot the combo for quick weapon switch, what are the key combinations/skills?

[@Stellz]

C swap while moving in any direction for instant protected switch. You can also insta C swap after or during a chase, then chase cancel again as soon as you do it

[@maksimruzhinov4662]

@@Stellz so the only way for weapon switch is C key? Not like any skill? I'm asking because i had fast switch on Sorc

[@Stellz]

@@maksimruzhinov4662 There are lot of ways to weapon swap between awake/preawake. C swap, Arrow skills on hotbar, Fiery Crevice hotbar, Projection Hotbar, Rabam Arrow skill, One-Step Back hotbar to name a few

@@Stellz sorcer is easy for u? sorcer for me is a cancer...

[@Lorgres]

I'm a returning player and I'm wondering, how do you sustain yourself in PVE when you skip both the healing skills? I'm chugging potions like an alcoholic chugs beers during a bar crawl without them

[@Stellz]

Maneuvering myself away from enemy attacks and staying behind them, villa buffs + alch stone + draught + exquisite cron as buffs always, Shift+X crit buff and heal, fiery crevice + foul play heals. You shouldn't need HP pots anywhere you grind besides maybe aakman and star's end. Softcap DP with Urugons makes you pretty tanky.

[@litiosenpai5145]

Hi what skin are you using? I like very much.

[@Stellz]

Yes boss

[@nurarihyonKsuigetsu]

thanks for that !

[@justiciar1964]

*Kakao:* So what game did you decide you're going to develop? Was it the fighting game, the story-based open world RPG with all the political backstabbing and moral dilemmas, or something like Eve Online meets Windwaker? *Pearl Abyss:* 예

[@speedygunyke1]

I thought skill add on dont stack and the ones of the same type get overridden by the one with highest stats making you 10%att speed on crosscut cancel out of the other atackspeed buffs can anybody explain to me? Thx

[@Stellz]

You are right that they do not stack. However, if I miss the skills I can't acquire the attack speed addon. So by doing this, I can always keep up my attack speed addon as long as I hit at least 1 of my skills on my target.

[@qiqi2360]

thank you !

[@NinongBri]

Thank you!!

[@yohanesjunico4384]

Which is better for musa nouver or kutum horn bow?

[@Stellz]

Yohanes Junico Nouver for PVP. Kutum for PVE. You can use Nouver for better PVE between 261-272 AP until you hit 261 AP with Kutum

[@RogMarto]

How do you increase the muse's will? I only have 290 .. and you have 470. thank you! nice video

[@Stellz]

Rog Marto you get willpower based on your level. I am level 62. You can also get 100wp from Tree armor or Red Nose

[@xXBotHunterXx]

@@Stellz WP is based on Health level, i cant confirm the level part though but is possible.

[@Stellz]

LayZ Potato oh ya it is health level my bad. Actual character level doesn’t contribute. +100 from a boss chest, and some from certain accessories as well. I used to run with 2x abundance crystals in roaring magical armor/heve to emulate having a boss chest with 100wp

[@Aaron-uw6gf]

what about your critical ? attack :5 movement speed :5 critical :0 ? o.O

[@Stellz]

Attack speed is capped through Kzarka + 2 Jin Vipers. Crit is capped through cron meal + draught when grinding/PVP. Movement speed through outfit/urugons/hystria crystals/draught

[@jdjeasy]

You csn get 5/5/5 wo cron. Let me know if you want to know so I can lookup my crystals tomorrow

What about rabam skills??

Frames matter a lot, and if I'm not mistaken stell gets well over 200 fps

[@syntienmerilla4602]

hello. i play musa. my gear is pretty good but im pretty dumb when it comes to play. so far i only grinded money, did lifeskills etc. but i cant cope with the piano playsyle. is there any other character that i can enjoy and is easy? i think my brain is not functioning enough.

[@Stellz]

I have never truly tried another class in the game after 2+ years. Witch/Wiz is pretty easy from I hear.

[@user-jb5ww2px9o]

Archer

[@miuletzmitzu6641]

as a wiz main if you want something easy to play I recommend it, you never have to buy pots, you got lots of super armors, the only downside is that hes quite slow when it comes to casting (even with lv 5 cast speed), if you learn your defenses (super armors/forward guards), and how to apply your debuffs/stuns then youre good, also heard that archer is hella stupid cause you basically stun people on your auto attacks every few seconds

[@d344_r5]
