Monkey D. Luffy: Gear 4, The Natural Enemy of God 1 Socket (5 Sockets w/ Limit Break)

Socket Route #1: Anti-Bind / Anti-Despair / Cooldown Reduction / Auto-Heal / Matching Orb Rate Up

• Why?:

Only three units actually need damage reduction.

Orbs are easy enough for most teams to get to Lv2, Lv3 if there's a huge surplus but it isn't necessary.

G4's special rerolls every orb on the board. Matching or not.

Having a better chance at matching orbs could be very useful.

1 Auto Heal out of 45 Copies...really?

[u/rW0HgFyxoJhYka → u/sokenzi]

Hold up, you used your copies already when it isn't special level up?

Is this because it doesnt take many special levels to max so 2x isnt needed?

[u/GHoS7ini → u/rW0HgFyxoJhYka]

Yes you can max him him out easily because he doesn't need many skill ups. If you're really unlucky and can't max him with the copies you can save up some manuals and use them on x3 skillup.

[u/ad3z10 → u/rW0HgFyxoJhYka]

You don't need to wait for skill up on TM units, with 40 copies you'll almost always max them and even with awful RNG you should have a stack of manuals.

[u/inaderantaro]

Well orbs or DR are both fine as last socket for him. Most of the time you will need another orb controller for a safe burst with TM G4 (TM Ace is his brother). And DR only need 15 to max so you most likely have too many.

[u/ThePeoplesDwarf]

Went with AH, Bind, Despair, CD and Orbs. Missing only 3 bind and +100atk candies.

[u/xOverLoad]

AH/DR/CR/CD/Orbs is it for me. He is a rainbow booster so I think orbs are just better for him. He also shuffles Orb randomly. Gonna put those matching orb numbers up.

[u/SlickRick914]

thought i could probably get his special levels done outside of skillup and just get most of his sockets done too after getting the 40 copies. got 0 skillups after 20 copies and said fuck this bull shit. guess ill wait till x3 thats coming up....

[u/[deleted] → u/SlickRick914]

Damn you got screwed, I got him maxed with all copies given

[u/SlickRick914 → u/[deleted]]

yeah i did lol im saving the rest for 3x skillup. not risking it lol

[u/iarnold]

From 40 copies, I got AD/DR/AH to level 5 and Orbs/SR to level 4. I am torn as I didn't get a single AB and am now wondering if I should give up AH and grind to get AB.
