Changelog #63 - Mod E First Impressions

I'm posting this early as I'm likely only going to have one of the new mod skills upon release (drop rates suck and I'm ED broke) so all my current opinions are based on observation and general knowledge of the game. Overall, Ara's Mod E skills seem very strong and essential to her kit. That said, I plan to continue grinding for the new mod books in order to conduct my own testing. Example builds will be updated once I actually am able to experiment with the skills myself. My current plan is to get Shakti's -> Devi's -> Apsara's -> Surya's.

Changelog #62 - Finally. Apsara Things.

People who visit my blog proper will notice I've made a page with links to my guides along with links to the tags for the changelogs. It's been almost 8 years since I've started this so it's long overdue.

In 2018, I did a quick write up for people to see which Ara would suit them best. It has aged like a fine milk left to sit in the sun. So I wrote a new one. You can find it here. It has also been added to the guides page on my blog.

Without further ado, here's the actual update.

Apsara

Updated Power of Eun

Updated Movement

Updated [Mod] Dragon Stance 3: Eight Trigram Palm, Ultimate Spearmanship

Updated Opinion for Fire Lotus, Secret Dragon Art - Blast, Suppression, Secret Tiger Art - Fierce Tiger, Full Moon Slash, Counter Switch, Flying Kite, Ultimate Spearmanship, Charging Fury, Tiger Stance: Fierce Spear Dance, Time of Enlightenment, [Mod] Dragon Stance 3: Eight Trigram Palm, [Mod] Dragon Stance 4: Moonlight Slash

Updated Example Build(s)

Updated El Resonance

Updated Conclusion

Might be some undocumented changes since I started to forget to add them to the list. Oops. Oh well.

Shakti

Updated Recommended Attribute for Suppression: Specter & Spell: Storm

Updated Opinion for Spell: Storm, Suppression: Specter, & Fox Illusion

Added one sentence to the Opinion for [Mod] Fox Fire to really illustrate its sheer strength

Updated Example Build(s) to include recommendations for the Transcendence slots

Surya

Updated Wishing Star

[anonraja]

Changelog #60 - Just Surya Things

Surya

Updated Power of Eun

Updated Movement

Updated Phoenix Wings

Heavy attributes now include the cooldown increase

Updated Opinion for Phoenix Wings

Edited some wording in the Opinion for Fox Shadow to be more clear

Updated Example Build(s) to include Combo Damage

Updated El Resonance

Updated Conclusion

To Do List

Update Apsara's guide (major)

Update Devi's guide (moderate)

Update Shakti's guide (minor - moderate)

I'll try to do this in a timely manner because of the +11 VoS event, but I make no promises

[anonraja]

Changelog #59 - I'm not dead shockingly enough

Well, tumblr doesn't allow indented bullet points anymore so this is gonna be fun.

General

Removed Equipment, Title, Elements, and Socketing

Added a general Progression section

Separated Master Skills so each tier is its own thing so I can more easily do more detailed opinions without having to say "Stage 1 blah blah blah. Stage 2 blah blah blah. etc.." as that has always felt deeply unorganized

Combined Force Skills and Master Class Force Skills so they're all in one section. Force Skills are now underneath Master Class for organizational purposes.

Added attributes to Mod skills

Apsara

Updated Fierce Tiger Strike, Abundant Power, Fire Lotus, Tiger Stance 4: Raging Wave, Energy Activation, Tiger Power, Ultimate Spearmanship, Valor and Devotion, Time of Enlightenment, Flow of Chi

Updated Opinions for Orchid Fall, Ultimate Spearmanship, Awakened Will: Sakra Devanam, Valor and Devotion, [Mod] Dragon Stance 3: Eight Trigram Palm

I don't have her Master Class yet so opinions for Nirvana are extremely limited

Updated Example Build(s)

Devi

Updated opinion for all Dance of the Butterfly stages

Updated Attributes for Wind Wedge, Energy Wave, Energy Void, Rakshasa Inferno

Updated opinion on High Speed and [Mod] Rakshasa Inferno

Updated Example Build(s)

Shakti

Updated Assimilation, Fox Valley, Repose of Souls, Specter Walk, Spell: Necromancy, Spell: Spiritual Eye, Awakened Will: Asura, Spirit Synchronous: Millennium Fox, Awakened Specter Power, [Mod] Shadow Blast

Updated Opinions for Mana Drain, [Mod] Spell: Thunder, [Mod] Fox Fire, [Mod] Spell: Necromancy

I have not finished the quests for the Master Class skill yet so opinions for Phantom Fox: Shadow Possession Stage 2 - 4 are extremely limited

Updated Example Build(s)

Surya

Updated Transcendence portrait to be the proper image

Added all Mod force skills

Added all Combos

Updated Attributes for all skills

Edited Opinions for all skills

Updated Example Build(s)

Updated Conclusion

Potential Error(s)

elwiki states that Surya's Phoenix Stance 2: Strike has Enhanced as an attribute option, but the game itself has Empowered. I've chosen to use Empowered since that's what's showing in the game and that's how it's interacting in game.

Honestly got really lazy on my Apsara guide so there might be some oversights

[anonraja]

Changelog #57 - Google translate edition

Surya (they wouldn’t change the name of Surya like they did with Vishnu -> Apsara, Brahma -> Devi, and Shiva -> Shakti... right...?)

Replaced all skill images except for Master Class because those aren’t anywhere yet

Replaced all class portraits except Transcendence since that isn’t anywhere yet

Replaced all class titles to reflect 4th path (Little Helper, Marici, and Surya)

Replaced all skill names with “???” as they’re not officially translated yet

Added tentative descriptions for passives, some of which feature google translate

the passives are at lvl 15 for Little Helper; lvls 35, 45, and 60 for Marici; lvls 70, 80, and 90 for Transcendence; lvl 99 for Surya

Added tentative skill descriptions

ignore MP cost, Orb Cost, and Attributes for now as I currently do not know them

Added tentative opinions for skills

did not edit opinions for Little Xia’s skills as I’m waiting for more information about Surya’s skills (especially how easy or hard it is for her to gain Awakening) before changing my opinions, especially my opinion on Shadoweave

[anonraja]

Changelog #58

Surya

Changed images under Power of Eun to be Surya

Added Transcendence portrait

Replaced all ??? with the actual skill names

Added Recommended Attributes for each skill

Updated Opinions for all skills

some opinions are just my first impression since I’m still messing around with Surya

Updated El Resonance

Added a Conclusion based off my first impression of Surya

I still need to add values for her attributes, update the combos, put in an example build, and update the equipment section but I am lazy.
