SUMMONER IS INVINCIBLE | Best Gilgamesh Difficulty Summoner Build - LVL 500 | Stranger of Paradise

[@unboundking9742]

Also worth noting. Gilgamesh will occasionally appear in the Hall and offer you a Rift of his own. Clear it, and he'll give you one of several unique accessories. Among them, for this build specifically, there's Lionheart that has Knight's Invincible on it and Hermes Sandals has Dragoon's Sovereign of the Skies on it. This'll save you some Affinity.

[@sno4538]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 yup I was doing these until these until he gave me the defeat 10 bosses and some of them were Super bosses ( got about 5 before marith)

[@Pujitsu]

Also to note, Gilgamesh starts appearing from floor 22 onwards and starts giving rifts. You must clear his rifts to get his rewards.

[@georgehatzimanolakis1904]

I got a dusk shard with clear mind. How do i find out what clear mind does?

[@Pujitsu]

@@georgehatzimanolakis1904 you'll have to look through class affinities manually and find which one has Clear Mind and see it's effect. Gilgamesh Accessories give the 400% effect of one class.

@@georgehatzimanolakis1904 What Pujitsu said. Clear Mind in particular is the 400% Evoker Affinity Bonus that allows your MP to slowly recover when your HP is at max.

[@sakuram69]

I am truly annoyed by how frustratingly difficult the rift content can be at times so this build helps a LOT with that. I am currently working with a summoner build from the last patch that I threw together fairly quickly from another video guide maker and it finally allowed me to clear Gilgamesh on floor 15 with a bit of luck, thanks to my mp not reaching maximum and lack of cubes... I had previously found out the hard way that losing all your dimension points deletes all of your progress in the rift, completely. So I had to do a few hours of grinding to get enough Gil to buy ethers, elixirs and the like to even beat Gilgamesh. That said, this build is built around this new difficulty setting so I am going to attempt to build something as close as I can get to it just to make my life that much easier. I am not the best player around so this forced difficulty hike just to clear the story content is a bit frustrating to me, but it does make for a challenge. Thanks for the epic summoner build! It really makes me happy that it's such a useful and fun to play job, considering how disappointed I am with blue mage presently. If in the future you manage to find a way to make blue mage as fun to play and endgame viable I'd love to see a video on it at one point! From what I've gathered it seems to be mostly physical based depending on the attack you use on it, but because ability descriptions don't mention anything I can't confirm that yet

[@ChristopherMcConnell]

You are incredible, Jay! I'm using this build and decimating the lvl 500 missions! Haven't dabbled too much in the Rfits just yet (only on floor 14 or so), but I'm confident this new build will REALLY help push me through. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@GamingFreakShow1991]

This build got me way past 50, so I'm confident you're gonna have a good time.

[@shade072]

@@GamingFreakShow1991 I don’t get how though? Where are you getting MP from base. As in without the use of items, where are you getting enough MP to maintain Bahamut because you only start with 2 bars, meaning you can’t reliably pop abilities or lightbringer making enemies stupidly difficult to kill, as without Bahamut the build cannot function

[@shade072]

Then in regular content it’s borderline useless because you can’t fuel MP, like for example the boss rush missions. You have 2 bars and can’t do anything with them

[@GamingFreakShow1991]

@Shade 0 Use Chain canceling on sub job (Ninja or White Mage) to max your Guage. Summoner 250 for that ability I think. Then just use lancet, mighty strikes, lunatic and use Bahamut.

[@shade072]

@@GamingFreakShow1991 Ohhhhhh so that’s how you maintain MP, thanks so much. Idk how I missed this lol

[@thechad7643]

I'll give this build a try. up until now I've been maining dragoon since the jump is both super evasive and can do massive break damage. Dragoon can make a lot of bosses that would otherwise be challenging into a cakewalk, especially in chaos mode. The great thing about this game is there are so many ways to play it, and many of them incredibly fun.

[@mathieugirouard4192]

Thanks for another incredible video JayZ! I think you've become the #1 source on youtube for SoP builds. My question is as follow: what do yoi think is the best way to farm up gear in this new expansion? I used to farm the malboro + buy stuff from the Trial King exchange shop, but now for 500, what do you suggest!? Thanks!

[@mathieugirouard4192]

Answer to self: same thing but Gilgamesh difficulty 😅

[@christophergonzalez9116]

Hey Jay-z, thanks so much for posting this. I’ve been running summoner since your last build video in the last DLC. I think I may have a fundamental misunderstanding of sub jobs though. I see you demonstrate how important it is to have affinities on the sub job, yet, my understanding is that those affinities are only active when you are playing as the sub job. As in, they don’t affect you when you are playing summoner. I haven’t seen the affinities of my sub jobs affect me when I am playing my main class. Have I been wrong all this time? You’re saying the affinities on sub job are always active?

[@jddelrosario]

Affinities on your job are only active when you are on that job. They become inactive when you switch.

[@christophergonzalez9116]

@@jddelrosario right exactly. So why in the video does he emphasize all the affinities on white mage, his subjob? Doesn’t make sense to me.

[@abisatrio433]

I've tried it, having 600% berserker on subjob won't replenish lightbringer when you soul burst with your mainjob. He must've also use 600 berserker on his summoner exhibition example 3:18

[@yazmat]

He did say that having 600% Berserker is only for bosses, you switch to White Mage before Soul Bursting the Boss so you get a free Lightbringer, then you switch back to Summoner. That's the only use for affinities on your sub

[@silversabith]

Your sub job is best used for applying your buffs, so loading that job up with +duration, improved effect or duration on gear is best. That allows you to focus max damage on your primary. No need for light bringer duration on your primary.

[@NinetyNineNo]

Great video! Much appreciated. One question, I really haven't been able to get to grips with Dimension Bringer -- any tips on how to get the most out of it? And are Chaosbringer builds just totally dead now?

[@drkmgic]

Can I just say your editing is amazing

[@silversabith]

Blue Mage is rather nasty as well using a simular build but focusing on whatever ability you set on your accessory and using LB and invincible.

[@SpringDoom3829]

[@ImhulluEx]

This is cool. I just started playing again today as the third dlc dropped. Was lost and naturally went to summoner with invincibility on extra mode to get to gilgamesh levels. My question is how do you help control what gear you find? Or is it always just random for affinities. Is it certain missions will have a higher chance for certain affinities? All the guides I see just say to kill the same missions over and over for gear.

[@the_lone_raver2723]

Awesome build! I mostly run Breaker/Ninja but will have to give this a go. Do you have any tips on how to efficiently farm job crests? Everyone recommends running The Warrior on story mode, but I find that really slow. Took well over an hour just to get enough to fuse one item.

[@craigfunk3453]

The only issue with crests is having to have the jobs you want crests for as one of your sets...after that? Its just a grind killing things hoping crests drop. I've personally been doing ebon: the warrior and scarlet: stranger despair for a decent amount of mobbing (stranger despair also has a few quick chests which can drop up to 3 crest types and 3 of each type at most) difficulty doesn't really matter for crest drop rates from what I've seen/experienced. Wish we could just buy them off bahamut's shop

[@the_lone_raver2723]

@@craigfunk3453 I found a better way to get them! Replay "Wanderer" at Ancient Chaos Shrine and kill the 2 cactaurs at the start over and over. They're guaranteed to drop crests and there's cubes right beside to reset.

[@LordXavius]

Yeah I’m curious on the farming too. I’m using old DLC1 strats and let’s just say the luck ain’t there

[@nightcloud2014]

I'll try to answer for both of you, The stymied mission is very easy to farm on higher difficulties to get good equipment, At least enough to beat chaos mode and maybe bahamut mode. The mission in sunken shrine where you have to kill and ogre and marlboro is very easy to do on max dragon treasure difficulty because using the spear skill wild thrusts, you can just push them off the ledges. With enough dragon treasures, you can buy some equipment to finish a decent build. The hard part comes in getting job crests, so you can create equipment with your desires job affinities.

[@Mako_SOLDIER]

@@nightcloud2014 thanks. Any solid way to farm crests?

[@nightcloud2014]

@@Mako_SOLDIER the equipped jobs you have increase the likelihood of the crest drop chance. So whatever crest you're trying to get, just have it as your secondary job. I haven't found a specific chapter to go farm in yet.

I'm a bit confused. How are you getting use of the Berserker 600 percent (activate lightbringer on soulburst) while you are using the Summoner job if you only have 600 percent berserker on the White Mage loadout?

[@xxmight450]

Are the high summoner attacks random? Sometimes when i hit normal attack he does a spin move

[@favianmontesdeoca562]

Are the affinity’s your character has on for this build at base or were they upgraded I’m currently on bahamut difficulty so maybe that’s why I haven’t found affinity lvls that high but was curious to know if it’s possible to get each equipment with affinity lvls of 400 or at least 200

[@gmrjayz]

The affinities get higher the higher your gear level is. Bahamut difficulty will let u level ur gear to 400 so your affinities will be around 150-180 on each piece and a little higher on some of ur weapons. Gilgamesh difficulty will give u lvl 500 gear which gives u around 200-220 affinities

This is an effect that gives you max MP limit when chain canceling. I believe from Summoner affinities. You can only do it with white mage if you have the ability to cast the white mage spells for free. Otherwise you need to use Ninja tools on the Ninja class.
