How is she on using TP? Does she hold for closing SC? Use as she hits 100% to kick off SC like Halver? I've been using Halver a lot as a way to get the other trusts to use their TP more often, he gets them going pretty quickly.

To me she seems on par with Halver, but prioritizes more on erase.
Need more testing first, I only used Halver the dragonkiller for Ouryu. Practially all of my solo parties are:
1. Apururu (whm)
2. Koru-Moru (rdm)
3. Joachim (brd)
4. Ulmia (brd)/ Kupofried (exp/cp)
Makes me fast enough to self skillchain

If I really want a DD for the company and occasional ws I grab Semih Lafihna (RNG), since I can babysit her out of small/core AoE range.

Then again, gotta collect 'em all! :)

After further testing with shikaree Z, I can say she does a much smarter job than Halver - gets TP much faster, waits for you and immediately closes sc; sometimes even manages to self sc darkness

Also she is a fan of casting haste :)

New BLM this month is really good:

Will MB off any SC… and adjust spell use to suit day/weakness. Tested with self-skillchains, chains w/ trusts.

Nice, finally a smart BLM!

Yeah love this new trust. Always opens with a Tier V spell though; after next rhapsodies installlen in august, this is going to be an excellent nr 6 party member for BLM manaburn. Adelheid, Shantotto, D.Shantotto blabla and this one :)

Holy crap that's a lot of new trusts

What's this new SYLVIE (UC) craze all about, apururu UC not ranked nr 1 anymore..

Edited list above on where to get the new trusts.

Anyway meanwhile played around with some of them

MUMOR II
-> Sunbreeze Festival EVENT

BLM CASTER

Has a Dual Wield look, but seems to use both weapons at the same time.

Use's Tier III/IV/V nukes depending on the mobs elemental weakness
(Nukes are closer to RDM DMG base than a BLM with Tier IV coming out at about 800ish on EM Mobs)

Builds TP to use WS based on the Festival (Neo Crystal Jig etc.) seems to average at about 2500dmg (ish)

Quick Aesthetic edit; She has a custom Dual Wield stance and attack animations, she wears the "new" Festival Dress and she… Skips… instead of running….

All of her TP moves are definitely magic based. She has access to Firesday Night Fever and some other TP move called Final Eternal heart, which does decent amount of damage


ULLEGORE
-> Login Campaign

BLM CASTER

Large amount of mp which was 4999 with the current trust buffs in i119 gear.

Will cast tier I-V spells. Opens with a tier V nuke and then auto attacks.
Attempt magic bursts.
Uses Silence Seal which is an area of effect silence.
memento mori, envoutement and silencega seal.
Uses Bored to Tears. A message appears that the enemy 'has grown noticeably bored.' which will grant a slow debuff on the enemy. The slow effect is stronger than Slow I, but weaker than Slow II.
Uses Envoutment that is a low damaging special ability that does not appear to debuff the mob in any way. .
Will cast Memento Mori on itself and then immediately cast Comet.
Will occasionally cast stun.
Can be cured despite being undead.

AUGUST

PLD/WAR

In my opinion the best trust ever so far!
Everyone should just finish SOA just to get access to him; woaw.

He holds hate like forever, outdamages most of all the DD trusts has all the moves of a superpaladin

Uses numerous Alluvion Skirmish weapons in both regular hits and weapon skills. Despite animations, all standard hits count as one. This include:
Sword slash and shield bash.
Five hits with knuckles.
Wide slash with dagger and axe
Arching shot with bow. Despite the animation, it only hits the engaged target.
Uses the following weapon skills:
Null Field: Polearm.
Tartaric Sigil: Great Sword.
Alabaster Burst: Scythe.
Daybreak: Flute. Does single target damage, cures August, and gives him wings. Appears to have some factor besides random luck to whether or not he uses it.
Noble Frenzy: Great Katana. Single target damage. May or may not require wingsExclamation.
Fuliminous Fury: Staff and Club. Does magic damage. Might be Drain related (did zero to a Dullahan). May or may not require wingsExclamation.
No Quarter: Single target damage. Removes wings. Unlike the Sinister Reign version, it does not do much more damage than other weapon skills.

His enmity gain seems crazy high, possibly due to the AoE nature of some of his TP moves.

Daybreak seems to increase all of his attributes and gives him a considerable Store TP effect. It also seems to give him an increase amount of Damage Taken-%.

As a tank August is the best. He uses Crusade, Flash, divine emblem, pallisade, Provoke, Reprisal, cures himself/others, intimidates certain mobs like crazy and seems to have a fair amount of native enmity bonus. also noticed him taking surprisingly little damage from targets which should be hitting him hard but for some reason aren't.

So hard to find time to work on SoA when it's double exp :p
