Thread: What Soul to Unlock?

Arthur
Basically the highend-endgame soul. Once you have maxed your weapons and eidolons, you are able to clear any content with pure damage without healing and boss rage control. you just want to clear everything quicklier. So Arthur is best for that. Whales love her.

Mordred/Andromeda/Joan
are beginner/F2P friendly. You are able to clear contents, which should be too hard for your current level/power. For example, you maybe need only 25000 power indead of 30000, which is required, when you use Arthur. Atm poeple with 30000+ power don't need to use them, because the content is easy, but in the future more hardcore instances will be released. If you don't have fullset of full LB SSR weapons with lv20 attack up, you may love them again. It depends on the boss type, which one of the three should be used.

Siegfried
is used for MVP stealing in Raids. With specific kamis in team, you will get incredible result. Actually for Damage dealing Arthur is better one overall. And for rage/overdrive meter control Mordred is better.


D`Artnagnan
She is on the must-have-list for expert players, not because she has snatch....
She has one of the best EX-skill in the game, "sniper shot". This is the strongest B type debuff, which reduces 20% attk and 20% def. It shows "+" for small/middle, actually the true effect is "big". If you want to unlock the EX, you need to unlock her...

Solomon
Another endgame soul. You don't need to consider her under rank 70.
unlike most people believe, SHE is not weak!!!
Her ability scales best with the increase of your +% atk from weapons and element. Further, new kamis with ability hitting up to 6-8 times will be released. Ability up works best with them.
We take 20% ability up as example:
If the ability hits 8 times for 1x dmg, 20% means 8x20% = 160% increase in total!. Solomon ring hits also 6 times, thats 120% by 20% ability up. In addition, you could use the EX buff from Rosenkreuz (40% abilty up).
With new kamis hitting like mashineguns, Solomon lead becomes godlike.
Unfornately, strong hitter like shiva, whose ability only hits one time for 5x dmg or similar, doesn't benefit a lot from ability up. 20% up means, 5.2x dmg instead of 5.0.

Ability has its own multiplier, the higher +% attk from weapons and elelement are, the more you will benefit from ability up. You will feel the difference when you reach the endgame. +100% attk and more through weapons and +80% up and more through element.

i didnt know siegfried is strictly MVP stealing.... i've always had legitimate problems with rage mode. i often sit there until someone else take em out for me. especially on ragnarok difficulty.

Siegfried was effective for the Medusa Advent Ultimate. Starting with a Full Burst was the strategy for that fight, and Siegfried enabled a properly configured and equipped team to reduce the Rage meter in a single round, which was essential for minimizing the opportunities for her to petrify the entire team. She also comes in handy when the boss needs to die before the first overdrive cast.

She's not strictly, that's just what she's used for sometimes. If you are having problems with rage mode enemies she's still a good choice. But because of her increased on stun attack ability she can be used for a quick burst to take an MVP.

Also of note is not just Souls as a character but there master Buffs and EX abilities.

another related question i have is what is the fastest way to earn soul points? is it the lowest advent difficulty?

fastest way is Ultimate. you get between 12-18 bronze chests and they are only the 1st and 2nd materials, no weapons or eido. Outside of that though it's probably the first lvl 10.

thanks....

i have so many rahab pearls i dont even know what to do with it. i m trying to convert all my AP's into soul points

If your team rely on debuff, Mordred's abnormal status resistance down for enemy is really good. But next free dark SR kamihime from raid have that skill too (Like a mini Mordred without enemy skill gauge control and atk-def-down etc) and assist skill is abnormal status resistance up.

work my way up from Standard

what are you even talking about? Solomon ability up affects ONLY her and nobody else. She is useless for the team. As for the element dmg stacking into endgame, that is precisely the reason why Solomon suck: her 2nd ability does 1 hit with each element, for a total of 6 hits but when you are completely focused on fire, or dark, or whatever, only 1 out of 6 hits gets the benefits! All other hits do base dmg, that might as well not even exist. Her only "alright" skill is her 1st one, but even that one... 1 to 4.5 times damage? that's waaaay too rng to be useful. 20% ability up comes from Rosenkreuz, not Solomon, and that is actually pretty useful skill to get as EX in some team compositions. Solomon though... Yeah, neither of her "borrowable" skills are worth it.
