Could you please rate/explain the value of the 3 IAs, 20%boss vs 1+att speed vs 20% cd skip. I have 1 preset for meso/drop and plan to have the other 2 one of those, not sure what to pick, when and why.

[@Dystierf]

@@davems6277 20% Boss - purely raw damage, recommended if u have hands and is comfortable with AS9 off burst. Highest dmg output and theoretically the best of the 3 IAs. +1 AS - Combo consistency, with faster skill animations means u can react better to boss attacks, I played quite poorly in p3 in this bm run but there are few situation where I will get hit by bm’s ‘kick’ if I didn’t have the extra atk spd off burst to dodge which could have cause me to lose more lives. 20% cd skip - least recommended of the 3, main usage is shadow rain reset for extra binds, very low value if not useless in bm & kaling, can be useful in kalos for extra binds but most cases u will have normal bind and origin bind which is alr 20s of bind, most classes would have alr finish their burst rotation in this 20s and zero built-in resets is enough for atleast 2 shadow rain reset and any more resets is not really needed. TLDR, in my opinion, between AS+1 and 20% Boss is based on preference and how comfortable u are with zero, CD skip is generally not recommended.

@@Dystierf yeah I was reading the handbook about AS and Boss. I really want to keep CD skip cause I’m doing struggle runs with mates for like ctene and hluwill, and they love the binds. I wish we could have 4 presets ahahahah. Thanks for your input. I’ll switch my 20% cd skip to AS. Congrats on your clear!

I been struggling to even do it with a strong pt . Any tips for A fellow zero , we almost have the same stats and gear ? In p3 in particular?

[@Dystierf]

Most important tip is to get used to using hero's will or erda's will, best to have both, so u can tank the vertical white debris/purple rolling meteors by using it right before u get hit by it. Craft auto recovery special node if u need to. P2: Stay in middle so u can move left/right when he cast fma, and pretty much dodge everything else. P3: Try your best to lure bm towards the right side of the map (coordinate with ur pt), mainly to avoid purple meteors since it falls diagonally from top right to bottom left, allowing you more room to dodge/react. Attack from outside the bubble if you need to, don't have to force yourself to hit within the bubble, damage is reduced by 50% if u hit outside but survivability is more important than dealing damage. Save s for fma, especially white fma as u might get unlucky with platform spawns, u can just use blink and float when he use vortex fma. P4: Use black aura so u can use potion, generally u should not be dying here, at most 1 or 2 deaths.

@@Dystierf thanks for the tips , i still need alot more practice . But def gonna replay your video to study .

[@alexYJZ]

Question , is atkspeed +1 better than boss DMG ?

[@Dystierf]

@@alexYJZ 20% Boss - purely raw damage, recommended if u have hands and is comfortable with AS9 off burst +1 AS - Combo consistency since beta will be as10 even during off burst, with faster skill animations means u can react better to boss attacks In my opinion, between AS+1 and 20% Boss is based on preference and how comfortable u are with zero, I personally prefer AS+1

[@alexYJZ]

@@Dystierf ic . I think I ll try to roll for a attkspeed on my third IA preset just to test it out . I DO feel abit sluggish on beta off burst combos

[@rrrobbyie]

i decided to start a zero character, do you have a guide or combo guide video for the current patch? thanks :)

[@Dystierf]

I don't have a video guide but most info can be found in the google docs below. I mainly use the combo from page 95 pre 6th job and page 81 post 6th job. docs.google.com/document/d/1ygEhU_gZjm6tY8ngi0hzZ6ZduNoGuZqdcPsiMV1pdf8/edit#heading=h.10e7l8uki1jg lehesol's most recent video guide if you want to see how he does his combo with 2nd mastery kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6rQnoljqNBmoa8
