It should be maxed instead of Demon Strike, since Demon Strike is useless in 3rd job, whereas Bat Swarm will always be useful on maps with flat platforms.Īny flat map with few platforms is a good training area.

It covers a significant amount of distance, and is very unlikely to hit its attack limit until 3rd job. It can be difficult to manage it against a single target boss when using Demon Strike however. It attacks at 330ms, and covers 1800% range. If you're already taking 1 damage, add points into Bat Swarm earlier.īat Swarm at a single level should be able to OHKO or 2HKO things around your level. Rage Within gives a little bit less, and STR adds some damage as well. Unbreakable Steel provides a good increase in defense. If you have over 100 WATK, Desperado Mastery technically provides a higher increase in damage for 10 points. Abyssal Connection provides a sizeable boost in damage with 40 WATK and increases the limit to what you can OHKO. Since this skill deals four hits, it has already very stable damage, leading to less usefulness from having earlier Mastery. It's best used on maps with flat platforms where you OHKO so you don't have to backtrack. It does four hits, so you'd be very unlucky to miss a monster completely. Double Cross has pretty good range, but it is relatively slow compared to other classes, especially if you reset its Exceed Stage with Overload Release often.Ĭode: 30: +1 Exceed: Demon Strike, +1 Bat Swarm, +2 Abyssal Connection Ĥ0: +1 Desperado Mastery, +2 Unbreakable Steel Ĥ3: +2 Unbreakable Steel, +1 Rage Within ĥ1: +2 Bat Swarm, +1 Exceed: Demon Strike ĥ7: +2 Exceed: Demon Strike, +1 Demon Booster Ħ0: +3 Demon Booster Demon Strike is probably the single most overpowered second job skill in the game. That being said, mobility will help you the most at the beginning. Life Sap is very negligible in this case since monsters deal so little damage, and you spend so much to attack compared to what you recover. If you really need to recover HP, there's potions, or you can use Double Slash against the air 20 times and then use your one point of Overload Release to recover 24%. You should also be leveling faster than you can spend your HP. If you don't, you could put points into Double Cross until you do.

Having Release Overload active is important as it increases your Max HP and thus your damage. This will reset your Exceed Overload debuff, but will also remove any Exceed Skill stage you have. When you have 20 Overload, you can use Release Overload.


The higher your Exceed Overload debuff, the less HP you will recover from Life Absorb. Thus, you can only spam one type of Exceed Skill at a time.Įach time you use an Exceed Skill, your Exceed Overload debuff will increase by one stack up to a max of 20. Using a different Exceed Skill will reset the buff for the current Exceed Skill. The skill will have a purple effect now, and increased effectiveness of some sort. Using an Exceed Skill five times will increase its stage to its max of 5. As long as you keep attacking, this buff will continue to refresh. When you stop attacking, this buff lasts about 10 seconds before disappearing. Whenever you use an Exceed Skill, you will gain a buff for that skill, increasing its stage. The Exceed System consists of the following skills: If your current HP is lower than 70%, whatever HP you have at 70% is used instead. Is the damage formula used when HP is below 100% but above 70%. This has been tested to be accurate to within 0.1% at reasonably high levels. Demon Avenger's Mastery is 20% like all other melee classes. It will be at its lowest at 70% HP, and highest at 100% HP. Your damage will be affected by your max HP and remaining HP. Autoassign will put all your points into HP. Demon Avenger uses HP as its primary stat and Strength as its secondary stat.
