For CrossCode players, this guide is focused on the many builds i’ve tested in this game so far, and the crazy ones too, and i need to register this crazy ideas for me not forget them, i love to explore new ways to enjoy this wonderfull world
Mitologic
you can find this build in Rhombus Square, on Shopping District:
Its quite balance, you has bulk to keep distance by increasing knockback of ranged attacks or assault to do more damage closer, status rush can help in any style of combat, it increases a lot of elemental proc
for the weapon slot you can put other Hydra fang, but keep attention, all theses weapons need Antique token’s, who is really boring to farm because need Epic Metal, so keep it in mind
After DLC you will be able to acess the ascended gear, who scales with your level(like Medusa Veil on the picture)
to acess is the next floor after of this same building
Speed(Legwork)
- Nomadic Turban can be founded on Ba’kii Kum Marketplace(in Basin Keep has the Faedora, who has the same modfiers, you can pick this for keep higher geaer level)
- Golden Revolver can be found on Basin Keep, on shops in right side(it will be blocked first time, will need parkour skills to reach this, good luck)
- Shuriken Shooter is a new quest weapon of DLC, you can switch for another Golden Revolver for no DLC needed
- Centaur Vest can be found in Rhombus Square, the same shop of Mitologic Build
- Boom Walkers is a initial item who can be found on Rookie Harbor shop(this gear can be ascended on DLC like the picture, also increases the legwork too)
This is my favorite exploration build so far, is totally focused on Legwork, who gives a huge increase of speed when are in aim mode, fits very well with the Shock circuit who gives Legwork too (40%),
this bonus speed is applied on jump, you can make a huge jumps without any tricks, you only need to keep the aim mode and the speed is applied.
Berserker
This build is really powerfull in bossbattles, you don’t need to use every part of this build to work, you can split, like switch warkeeper for other weapon. Fits very well with Wave circuit, who gains amount of berserker extra(60%)
- Warkeeper cam be founded in chests on Gaia Garden
- Furious Hothead and Lifefiber can be founded in Rhombus Square marketplace
You can use this build to reach ONE PUNCH!! achievement, who are made by hit over 50000 damage
- on cold circuit you set all branches to bulleye (crit damage)
- for the extra weapon slot, you pick the weapon with bulleye too (Sonic spike)
- force your Hp go below 33% for berserker proc and with cold cir
the enemy who will be the target of this massive attack is:
Flamin’hillkat (-50% Cold Res)
can be found on Old Observatory on Autumn’s Rise
- Break the guard
- Lose Hp to below 33%(Berserker)
- Use the Cold element, Eternal Winter skill (is the level 3 art)
- Use food’s if you don’t reach the damage
the focus is break the enemy, for hillkat will be hit on the timing of his open guard moment, after break the guard, you will find a pond to keep jumping and losing HP, to berserker proc, also the location mencionated has it closer, so find a good spot, after losing the HP necessary you will charge the Cold melee art to the maximum (level 3 art), this will proc a massive damage.
Status Rush (+resistence for all elements)
This build is really situational but really good too, this build give a HUGE resistence to every element in the game making you tankier for closer combats, fits well with Neutral circuit, who gives 30% for all elements.
you can use this build to get extra points on Arena, by proc innumerous status, is this the main use i found to this build, you can proc the status in 2 charged shots using this(exception for who has resist for the element)
- Bracers can be found in many shops, this item scales, the first bracer is used to make the the higher tier os this weapon, so you need to upgrade this weapon many time until the final version
- Gorgon veil(Medusa veil) is the same of mitologic build and Mistwalkers can be founded on Rhombus Square marketplace
- Vermillion mantle is optional, because his lower level, but only can be founded in Vermillion Wasteland
You can switch Head, Torso and Legs gear, the mains of the build is this weapons
If you want to keep the elemental resistences up, you can put Serene Bubble, Plate of chests and Ancient Sandals(this last one is optional because is a low level item)
but with all theses equiped together you can reach this amount of resistence:
You will keep the level of gear on good state and be such a tank
Bulleye Sniper
This build is totally focused in ranged combat, by increasing knock back with Bulk Caliber, speed of aim with Scope and increasing a lot of crit damage with Bulleye.
With Killing Dress, you can take the advantage of Bouncer, who increases the damage for breaked guard enemies
Note: for late game, use Killing Dress, who has the same Bulleye modifier of Assassin Garb
Knock Back (Bulk Calibre)
This build is real funny to test the limits of the game, not really usefull, but do a HUGE knock back, fits very well with the Wave circuit, who has 75% Bulk Caliber bonus on Ranged branche
- early game option is use Copper Gull and Proper Tophat, both can be finded by exploring Bergen Trail and Village
- mid game option is the Bigger stick who can be founded in Basin Keep, the shop in the right side
- Artillery Boots can be founded in tower defense quest in Gaia garden, can be repeated
Kirito’s Healing(Hp regen)
Weeb mode activated
This build really good with a full defensive Cold circuit, but to max the HP regen pick Wave circuit who gives 74% bonus regen is other build to text the limits of the game, not really useful at all
Aehre is a early game weapon, can be used to replace Hydra fang for early players
Hydra fang, Serene Bubble and Lifefiber can be founded on Rhombus Square marketplace
I missed one item so i will take a shot here:
this Leg gear gives a huge regen too, so if u want to max it out, bought in Arena shop
Note: i looked at status bar and the regen increases by all branches of Wave is telling is 99%
i really think this is a miss value, but u can take a look:
Lucky(+drops)
IMPORTANT!!
Take a look about Zero Xp, this build is only for increases drop rate, but intead you can’t look for XP
This build is really really good, this saved me many times for general drops
- Scarecrown from quest from Basin Keep, Boosiman (PLS DEVS MAKE A SKIN WITH THIS ITEM)
- Plate of chests can be founded on Rhombus Squase market place, but you will need to travel many traders to pick the other chests to make this last one
- Infinite Spiral Drill is a amazing sidequest how need to travel all world, upgrading the drill to max level, it’s a god tier reference
if you are looking for Botanics, take a Look at The Last Strawhat
The botanist can help a lot for search rare components
Prepare a route to get Rank S, who has a large amount of flowers you need, so:
- Get combat Rank-S
- Be prepared to keep the Rank S for max time you can, abusing the in combat mode
- Try not get stuck in a region with nothing, because the rank will drop and you will need to back to start(to avoid this, just aggro many enemies you can and not kill them, just keep the farm)
- Try not grinding to hard, keep in mind the limit of inventory is 99
Good luck
Rammus(pinbody)
This build is the rammus mode, you will tank everything with shield and give amount damage back, fits incredibly good with Cold circuit, who gives 90% extra pinbody
Unbreaking fist and Reactive plate can be founded on Rhombus Square marketplace
To avoid 2 of same weapon you can put the Meister Gloves
This weapon has a unique modifiers Riposte
Its will Reset the perfect guard, it works very well for enemies who do a amount of projectiles in sequence
if you are not good to perform perfect guard, the royal guard increases the time to perfect guard
if even with the royal guard can’t perform, you can use Guard art(first is enough), who gives huge window to get striked by attacks and with the Riposte proc every sucessive attack will be perfect guard
keep in mind if you are using the Meister Gloves to get perfect guard, you sometimes will break enemies guard, who will make him stoping attacking you
Food buffer
One of most situational builds of this guide, it will give a Extra slot for Food buffs, fits well with Neutral circuit, who gives another slot of buff.
- Lead boots can be founded in chest in Sapphire Ridge
- Infinitey+1 bag can be founded on Rhombus Square marketplace, but you will need to travel the world searching the other version of this gear, traders will wait for you
When you are consuming a long time food, you not will be stoped by attacks because the Leaf Bracer modifier, you can use it to strategicaly ignore cc of monsters in some situations.
it’s is not bad at all, but is for players how like the to consume a lot of food and get attacked in wrong timing or need a extra buffs in battle
Weak Spot (Bouncer)
One of my favorite builds, this build consists in break the guard of enemy with Guard with the perfect guards with help of Royal guard, and with Bouncer modifier to take advantage of break state, you damage will increases ridiculously plus the Bulleye damage increase, its the balance of defense and attack
Note: I did not notice the Killing Dress also do Bouncer and Bulleye, like the Sonic Spike, i’ll update it
- Meister Gloves is a quest item from Bergen village, be prepared for challenges
- Sonic Spyke(Nanopoint needle) can be founded in a chest from Sapphire Ridge
- Killing Dress can be founded on Arena shop, on Rhombus Square
Bacause is 3 gears you can add other gear with berserker, bulleye and assault if you lake closed ranges combat
Time Manipulator (NG+)
This build is maded exclusively for NG+, using the Dash master and Witch Time to make it really fun, making the time stop by using many perfect dashes… ZA WARUDOOO
Fits very well with the Shock circuit, who gives a Extra dash and 20% flash step, also the shield skill who stops the time too
- Scarecrown is a item from a quest in Basin Keep, from Boosi man
- Skirmisher can be founded on Rhombus Square Marketplace
- Vermillion Mantle anly can be founded on Vermillion Wasteland
- Boom boots its a early item, can be founded in Rookie Harbour marketplace, can be upgraded in DLC
You can use this for normal game but is not needed to get this amount of flash step, make a balance to not spoil your build, it’s really useful to test your skills and be a true master of dodges
but the real power of this build comes in NG+
Momentum
This is a thing i not tested but looks good, the modifiers is respectively these, this modifier is such a curious
- Pendulum striker can be founded on Arena shop from Rhombus Square
- Lunatic Paws is a item from a quest on Ba’kiI Kum
Increases damage after dash, it tells it stack per dash, but not how much stacks(3 stacks?) but if this is based on max dashes it can stacks to 5?(Shock extra dash+ Lunatic paws extra dash)
This is a thing to think, because if this really stack 3 or 5 times based on limit of dashes, you can increases the damage dealt to 3*25 or 5*25, 75% of damage bonus?125% damage bonus???
So many questions…
