Dusk Knight Build Guide - Stranger of Paradise: FFO - Different Future

[@SanctusG]

After some testing, I would suggest removing the master points in Spirit and investing them into capping out Dark Knight Affinity + throwing the leftovers into Near Death: Damage Dealt. The damage bonus from the Spirit investment is lower than just increasing Int and Str through DRK affinity, and while you won't be able to inflict dark vulnerability with low Spirit, Blessing of Light remains relatively unaffected. Dark vulnerability is not necessary, and Souleater's application rate is very low even with high Spirit.

hey man me again - do you have any particular places you recommend for gear farming? Armour in particular. I'm only at Bahamut difficulty so still a ways off but it'd be nice to know how you got your stuff so I don't sink time into unnecessary stuff and also have something to aim for. Cheers man, absolutely love this build in particular, i've got a cheap knock off version going atm and i'm loving it.

[@SanctusG]

It's been a while, so my memory is hazy, but any boss you can kill quickly at a high trial level is good for farming. There aren't set drops in the endgame difficulties, so the mission doesn't really matter. When it comes to Lufenian endgame you'll have to clear at high trial levels to get good relic pieces. Glad you like the build; it was the most fun for me. There's cheesier stuff out there (like breaker) but nothing else feels as good to play.

@@SanctusG Okay cool good to know. Yeah man it's so much fun to play, I like that you have to actually learn the boss's moveset to get the most out of it as the parry damage and pressure you can get is insane. I've seen some other build's online and most look so cheap, just revolving around a single move. I get the appeal of the big numbers and ease of play but it's not for me.

hey man - do you bother with Knight mastery points or because you're just using it for the buff do you not bother with it? Been loving your guides for this game and Gran Blue btw, we have similar tastes, dragon/dark knights fuck yeah.

[@SanctusG]

For Knight mastery I just filled in utility stuff like Luck, MP on soul burst, drop rate, buff duration, etc. You can swap to knight to soul burst bosses to get the benefits.

@SanctusG ah clever! Nice, cheers man

[@camclarke7220]

@@SanctusG also regarding your mastery points for DK - can you explain the thinking behind the STR/INT/SPR allocation? I just assumed STR and INT were best.

[@SanctusG]

@@camclarke7220 SPR was for BoL damage scaling and elemental weakness application; in the pinned comment I went back on it in lieu of capping DRK affinity and throwing extra points into ND:DD, as the overall damage was better that way.

@@SanctusG gotcha, cheers for the reply dude really appreciate it

Wish we had costumes instead of gear

[@SanctusG]

You can apply one of your presets as an "appearance set" to alter the look of your gear, or you can change your appearance to that of a party member, Astos, or the Warrior of Light through the "Edit Party" menu. Unless you mean you wish there were more costume options, that'd be dope.

Can I see a white mage build ?

How do you get the mp to regenerate automatically?

[@SanctusG]

Parry: MP Recovery in Job Master (2:41) + Sam 600% to activate parry effects on combo abilities + Miracle of Light to activate parry effects on parry timed soul shield.
