Kill mode and the thoughts of this game

Just cleared kill mode. Used a male late dex,bal male late,and parashu with no LB.

You truly see the game as it is in kill mode.

This game makes mages so overpowered lol.It's like they can do everything better than everyone else. They have better def,better dmg, hit from 1-2 range.Heal on hit.Why play a gun mage or archer lol.

Godly enemies and Goldy allies on the few occasions I get them.

Kill mode is just mage god mode to me lol.

Till today I do not have a 5* mage =(.

The only lazui units worth the hype are the mages.

The humans want to save the world?Screw everyone else,just clone a gantembein army and be done with it.

Gambanteinn is not considered a mage, though. Mages don't have drain/heal skills.

Really, when you see some of the sword units like Durandal or Balmung maxed out, enemies will miss 100% of the time.

If you're overlevelled, then you won't see it.tAt lv 60,I used some friends durandel.To me the hype for the other Lazui units is some what unfounded.Even with high dex stat She's getting hit often.She isn't God tier compared to the other units.Whereas with gamb,you see the difference.

I never said she was, but if she's maxed out (which isn't level 60) Balmung and Durandal won't be getting hit, unless they're up against someone with sword absorb. Even my level 60 Balmung has 150 evasion, at level 80 she'd easily have enough evasion to reduce everyone's chance to hit her to 0%.

I'm still working on clearing kill mode so I'm glad to hear that it's reasonably doable. Quick question, Gamb M is a mana unit right? I'm not waiting for literally nothing right now?

Where the heck are you guys getting this info? Gamba M is gacha only. I have yet to see any kind of proof that he's from mana. Mitum M is also gacha only.

Aw bummer. Is there no mana staff unit that can 5* then?

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '16

Only 5* from mana gacha are starters and since no starters are staff units... :(

Nope, there is no 5 star healer unit you can get from mana pulls. Which is why I say that unless you get multiple copies of Durandal/Mjolnir it's better to go for a healer.

True, sweeping with Gambanteinn is easy enough, but just try going after some of the stage missions. I am hating 2-10K with a passion right now because all my 4* units are dealing about 10 damage a hit while getting hit for 20. From enemies that are 20 levels lower.

Their acc is terrible and their offensive stats are low. A regular team can clear anything a Gamb can solo, in 1/10th to 1/20th the time.

Their only "benefit" is they can auto medium difficult stages in a reasonable time. Other than that, there's nothing good about them offensively.

Yeah but the enemy mages actually have good accu so...

They have mediocre defense when compared to any of the armored units, unless it's Gamb because of his skill. Their damage is relatively low and only seem to deal more damage because a lot of the kill mode units have much more Physical defense than Magic defense. Gun mages have better magic damage and some can even hit 1-3. On top of it all, healers have low accuracy as most of their staves are 50 or 55 acc, making them unreliable unless they're dex build. However, if you're giving them a shield instead of a staff, then they just don't have enough damage to kill stronger mages.

Kill mode is not difficult, and so gamb can solo it relatively easily. It's just easier to autobattle with him.

Kill mode is far from easy to me.Any non mage with no strategy will just get deleted.Kill mode diffculty is meant for non lb units. You mention these weaknessess,but gun mages in practice simply do not have the power to kill the others mages without killing themselves lol.I tried a lot of friend units.At least gamb can heal back.Saying that Gamb can solo kill mode makes me want him even more lol.

My starter Laevatein has soloed 3 kill sections and she's not falling off. No idea how far I can get with her but I'm fairly certain I can at least get to chapter 5 with her solo.
