Angelic Buster Storyline

Born without a tail or magic, a young Nova named Tear endured disappointment from Nova elders and flat-out torment from her peers. Her only friends were two kind boys, Kyle and Velderoth, who watched over her from the get-go. Together, they formed the Heliseum Force, dreaming of one day recapturing the homeland that was stolen from them. But they were too young to stand up to the attacks on Pantheon. When the Heliseum Force is overwhelmed at Pantheon, Tear calls on the power of an ancient relic to save her friends. Her plan works, but she gets much more than she bargained for. Now, the voice of the ancient Nova dragon warrior, Eskalade, rings out in her head. It tells Tear of her new destiny… to become the Angelic Buster!

Angelic Buster Notes

• Angelic Buster implements a Dress Up Skill System where you can transform into a lovely pink-hair celebrity idol or transform back normally to view your equipment (helm, armor, shoe, glove, etc). This transformation is similar to Cygnus Knight Wind Archer 3rd Job Skill (Eagle Eye) or Kaiser’s Transfiguration into Dragon Saber without the need of charging Morph Gauge. Kaiser is one of Angelic Buster biggest fan – This can be seen where she dances and sings on the stage while Kaiser enjoys her performance.
• Angelic Buster uses Soul Battery skills are powerful attacks that must be recharged after use, and the only way to recharge them is by attacking enemies! Different attacks will recharge the skills at different rates, and the Affinity Heart skills can help them recharge faster. You’ll know a skill needs to be recharged when its icon turns gray. The Soul Battery UI lists all available Soul Battery skills and their availability.

1. Add 1 SP into Pink Pummel and Lovely Sting.
2. Max Soul Shooter Mastery, Beautiful Soul, Affinity Heart II.
3. Max Pink Pummel and Power Transfer.
4. Dump remaining SP into Lovely Sting.

Explanation:
Add 1 SP (Skill Point) into Pink Pummel. This skill will be beneficial to cluster monsters into a corner and finish them with your charge skill. Start by maxing your Soul Shooter Mastery (damage stabilizer) followed by Beautiful Soul (for additional boost to min max damage) and Affinity Heart II (speed up recharge rate). Next, max Pink Pummel as it is much faster to travel and attack at the same time instead of using regular attack. The reason why Pink Pummel is maxed instead of Lovely Sting is because Pink Pummel does not require any recharge to activate and the damage between both skills is roughly the same at max level. Furthermore, Pink Pummel does cover some area by charging forward into enemies and you will be able to discover more monsters along the way. If you are able KO (knockout) monsters in 1 hit, Pink Pummel is the way to go as it will be a great combo with 3rd Job Skills. If you like Lovely Sting, you can max that instead and the remaining SP is dumped into Pink Pummel. Finally, max Power Transfer last as it won’t be much help until you reach higher level where monsters deal high physical or magical damage.

2. Max Affinity Heart III and Dragon Whistle.
3. Max Heavenly Crash and Cap Shining Star Burst at Level 14.
4. Max Love Me Heart, Iron Blossom and Soul Seeker.

Explanation:
Angelic Busters 3rd Job Primary attacking skill will be a combo of Heavenly Crash and Shining Star Burst. Soul Seeker would be a great additional supportive attack. Start maxing Affinity Heart III (recharge skills faster) and Dragon Whistle (damage booster) first followed by your 3 charge skills. Shining Star Burst should be prioritized first because it deals a whopping double damage towards floating enemies caused by Heavenly Crash. Next, max Love Me Heart (reduce damage taken when training at higher level areas), followed by Iron Blossom (for anti-knockback convenience) and lastly Soul Seeker.

Soul Seeker is maxed instead of Shining Star Burst because Celestial Roar (4th Job Skill) can easily replace both Heavenly Crash and Shining Star Burst for its stun, high damage and wide-long range attack! Soul Seeker will be beneficial during 4th Job Training especially Boss Raids/Solo as it acts as a supportive damage while you attack with either Trinity/Celestial Roar (4th Job Skills).

Kaiser Storyline

Long ago, the legendary Nova Warrior, Kaiser, protected Pantheon and the people of Grandis from Magnus, a power-hungry emissary of the Black Mage. The two powers collided, and in the end Magnus, along with his army of abominations, proved to be the stronger of the two. Faced with certain defeat, Kaiser unleashed an all-consuming attack, eradicating Magnus’s creatures and destroying his own physical form in the process. But his spirit lived on, waiting for the perfect host to receive his power. A young Nova Knight named Kyle with his friends Velderoth and Tear forms the Heliseum Force. It is serve to protect the people of Grandis from Magnus (Nova Betrayer) and his lackeys, just like how Kaiser protect his homeland long ago. One day, these lackeys infiltrated Pantheon by disguising themselves in Nova mage dress to steal Pantheon’s secret relic which is a cube. As the trio observe the evil men chattering away, Kyle asks Belderos to report this incident to the senior who are in town. After Belderos left, both approach the enemy. Tear touches this cube and both Kyle and herself become cursed with mystical powers but Tear faints in the process. Kyle attacks the enemy with one of Kaiser skills but faints right after. Tear awakens from her unconsciousness and finishes off the remaining enemy with her Angelic Buster attack. After the battle ends, the Novans see Kaiser symbol appears upon Kyle. Therefore, he becomes Kaiser successor.

Kaiser Notes

• Use special attacks to fill the Morph Gauge to transform into Kaiser’s ancient dragon form, which increases Kaiser’s strength and mobility. As you level your Kaiser, you’ll reach new transformation stages with distinct looks.
• The Dragon Link UI sits below the Morph Gauge and allows you to assign certain abilities to key combinations (i.e. Left, Right + Attack, or Left, Down + Attack, etc). These skills can also be added to your Quick Slot hot keys like other abilities. However, using the Dragon Link key combinations will fill your Morph Gauge faster!

Explanation:
Flame Surge will be Kaiser’s primary attacking skill in 1st Job, not Dragon Slash!

Plus, you save your fingers instead of spamming keys on Dragon Slash. However, you can use Dragon Slash for 1v1 especially boss solo unless there are mobs around it. Max Air Lift first as it makes travelling more convenient by jumping across large maps to reach from one end to the other. Then, max Flame Surge followed by Dragon Slash and Scale Skin.

Kaiser 3rd Job Skill Build: Everything maxed.
1. Max (Dragon Slash + Attack Mode + Defense Mode) 2nd Enhancement.
2. Add 1 SP into Final Final Form, Wingbeat and Pressure Chain.
3. Max Self Recovery, Catalyze and Advanced Inner Blaze.
4. Max Pressure Chain, Cursebite, Petrified, Final Final Form and Wing Beat.

Explanation:
Pressure Chain and Petrified works by pulling enemies into 1 tight cluster. Petrified is better due to its special ability to redirect enemy attention to itself. In other words, the monsters you attack/agitated will not attack you if they are taunted by the summoned dragon. You can then safely kill enemies without getting bumped into them nor harmed by their magical range attacks!

Max Kaiser’s primary default attacking skill (Dragon Slash II) and Attacker Mode II for a quick boost in damage. Next, unlock Kaiser’s primary attacking skill (Wingbeat + Petrified) and its renowned Dragon Saber transformation and also include Pressure Chain if you wish to have your summoned dragon position at a strategic location while you pull your monsters in another area.

Max the supportive damaging skills (Catalyze + Advanced Inner Blaze) followed by Self Recovery to save some HP and MP potions. Having Advanced Inner Blaze and Self Recovery early on is very useful when you intend to train at a much higher level area that provides greater EXP reward but higher risk and bump damage. Finally, start working on your Wingbeat, Stone Dragon, Cursebite and lastly Pressure Chain.
