Break..?

Hey..I heard brawler is the best skill for breaking..is that right ..?but i had tried on brawler but look not really good..how can i do..please help me..

 

There are 7 ways to increase break chances with brawlers.

1. Use crit stat. Around 20 crit will increase your odds of inflicting statuses on targets significantly.
2. Use Jamhadar. Since jamhadar knuckles have +40% crit rate, these items help a lot.
3. Use crit +2 xtals. These increase crit rate and crit damage. Helping you hit a little harder and miss less.
4. Dexterity stat. Dex adds accuracy, this makes you miss less and makes inflicting harder to resist.
5. Use Luck stat. Luck does a lot of things, helping you to inflict is one. Every 4 points of Luck increases odds of inflicting by 1%.
6. Lvl up the skills. Most status inflicting skills inflict more often and become harder to resist as they lvl up. So get any status skill up to 5 if you use it often. My suggestions: Smash 5, Bash 5, sonic wave 5-10, shellbreak 5-10, heavy smash 5.
7. Accuracy up. This is a lvl2 battle skill. It increases HIT stat and inflict chance. Increase to inflict is 1% per rank in skill.

 

But why brawler's break always defeated againts sniper??

 

Are we talking about sniper using a bow or sniper using an xbow? because as @Mugami said,

And that is why most snipers using bow has higher flinch chances with bow since xbow has lower rates with regards to inflicting any ailment or tumbles, flinch, etc.

 

Absolutely correct.

 

hi there! breaks are determined by the amount of flinches, tumbles and knock backs. im not so sure about status ailments cus i sparred w a friend here a few times and tumbles and flinches won against status ailments.
i usually spam skills and i am full AGI

 

Can i ask something? Im on a pt with @Ianjuro and im a support mage. Wehave another member which is @Peiro and his a brawler. I become rank 1 at break just hitting the boss i don't mean tapping the circle what i mean was just normal auto attack. I become the breaker for many times if i auto attack. How come that happen?

 

this may contradict my last comment but auto attacking also contributes to breaker rank.
were u also CRT ing alot?

 

Im a mage and i uses MD. And yeah itcrits alot maybe because i wear a c777 arm that time lol. Is that contributes to breaker rank?

 

yea crt contributes to breaker rank as well!

 

ohh thanks i think become breaker if push tap2 circle a lot

 

breaker? my hypothesa is :
the rank is counted from number of hit you make toward bosses. (influenced by your ATK+MATK +element+ dmg dropoff + enemys def)... its the hit.. not your damage nor even your crit damage(crit isnt related here)

however not all hit is counted. counted hit is a hit dealt few secs after boss inflicted by a status(flinch, stun, poison, para, even provoke)
cmiiw. (some ppl might thought this is a bs ) let the discussion begin.

 

i think i may have mistaken CRT for HIT, but i agree with the HIT after inflicting a status

 

Yeah i can agree on this, my friend and I ran warmonger and had the same 1h combo both cost 100mp and we both had 8 mp bars. The difference was I had hard hit at the end of mine while he had throw dagger(did not activate coz he ddnt have dagger sub). He always got breaker rank even though he didnt have status inflicting skills like flinch/tumble/etc.

 

Blind, slow, poison, Burn, freeze, stop, knockback.
None of these count towards breaker rank.

Flinch 1, Stun 3, Tumble 2, Para 2, Provoke 3, Armor Break 5. Assault and shield bash are unique in that they give 4. Cross parry 3, parry 1.
These all count by the numbers listed.

Critical hits count as 1 or double the infliction. Ergo, a crit on an auto counts as 1. While a crit on an Armor Break counts as 10.
At least insofar as I have gathered thus far.

 

I have never lost breaker rank spamming this combo:
Smash>sonic wave©>bash©>shellbreak©
It usually gets me tank rank as well.

That's 11 points of no crits.
22 if all crits.
With mage ring on that's 16x100mp combo.
16×11 points minimum.
176 points. Hard to beat that.

 

its not hard to beat that combo if you only spam that. i used that exactly combo for my brawler when TFL cycle 1 held(before 70 update). tag @h0tcak3s @fir3d0g as fellow brawler.
like i posted before its about number of hit. remember tkick? its 3 hit counts.

 

@Mugami
What about breaks for Blade skills such as Spiral Air? I understand it flinches?
Besides Shield Bash, there is also Shield Cannon. A couple of people mentioned its stun proc rate is higher and duration is longer.
Does it give 4 points as well?

 

That's true. And triple has a hidden +2 per kick.

 

Spiral air is 4 or 5. I don't have my sheet up to read it atm.
I never tested cannon. My best guess says 4.
