My "Pet building test" Journal

Due to various changes in mechanics, many previous sources are outdated.

Video explaining changes:


Thus, I'll be using this as a blog of sorts, to help me keep a written record of various pet tests, so as to give current information.

(Blog date as of 12 Aug 2020)

PS:
Not really looking for "build advice", persey..
However:
Feel free to comment, if/when ya have something to add to the tests.

Or have questions of something to be tested. ^_^

Things to test:

Unless noted, assume all tests done with Gentle Medpot pet.

• If Fighter, assume Bow.

​

• The Medpot (Meditating Potum)
  • Why Medpot?
    • has natural boost on support skills!! xD
    • Has double-tap (auto) ability
    • Cute!
  • Why Gentle?
    • See "Tips learned"
  • Questions:
    • Gentle vs Fighting pet's AMPR / MP Recovery
      • Same Natural 40 AMPR? (Y/N)
  • (Self-note)
    • Pets used:
      • "Subj: pas"
      • "Subj: Atk"
  • If Fighter needed:
    • Justice vs Timid vs Other
  • Spikes an issue?
    • High-end bosses (Yes!!)
      • Ie: mq Lv100 onward, loves spikes, Fractals, &/or Fatals
      • Especially "Cronobia related" ones.. -_-

• Timid (close-combat)
  • Support skills work ok? (Y/N)
  • Break Armour = ok? (Y/N)
  • Sweep = ok (Y/N)
    • Conclusion: viable / not viable (ans in bold, once known..)
• Timid (overall)
  • Survival improved? (vs "Gentle" vs "Fighter") (Y/N)
    • Depends on spikes
  • Weapon type matters? (For support build) (Y/N)
• Skill-up:

Note:

)

• Found this video showing a similar idea:

• Seeing as the above is done after the update, I'll assume its still current. However.. ASS > U > ME, so..

• My test, to reaffirm:
  • Used 50-kill count testing (idea from above)
  • Used untrained pets
  • Aoe (combo) vs Aoe (no combo) vs 1-on-1 combat
• Note: I decided to skip the "video version" of mine, at this time..
  • (Self-note)
    • Pets Used:
  • "Subj: pas" = 1-on-1
  • "Gentle" = AoE
• Conclusion: (currently unfinished; need pets trained)

​

• Verify:
  • Video desirable
    • Party reduction:
      • More pets vs people only?
      • Reduction visually observed (Y/N)?
        • % reduced by:
      • Per pet: x%
      • Per Person: x%

• Preferred skillset:
  • • Keep both (?)
  • Skillset 1:
    • Healing Circle + Encourage + Clear Mind + 2x randoms (1st Aid hopefully)
      • Note: Gentle = ok
  • Sustainability:
    • Timid: (Y/N) ("Y" suspected..)
    • Gentle: (Y/N)
    • Fighter: (varies)
      • Justice: Likely
      • "Anti-Spike": (Y/N)
        • Specific details undecided
  • Skillset 2 & 3:
    • Ie: (#) next to skill to signify this
  • Healing Circle + Encourage + Armour Break (#2) / Stun (#3) + 2x randoms (1st Aid & Clear Mind, hopefully)
    • Note:
      • Gentle = Not ok
      • Timid = ok
      • Justice = ok
  • Skillset 4: (undecided if using)
    • Ie: code-named "Breaker"
  • Armour Break + Stun + Encourage + 2x randoms (?)
    • (hopefully 1st aid & Clear Mind)
    • might leave randoms blank
  • Edit: corrected "Sweep" for "Stun", as was originally intended.
  • However, I may substitute "armour break" with "Sweep".
  • (Further analysis is needed..)

• (Other tests here)

• (Place holder)

PS:
Medpot has a double-tap ability, so technically it's attack-pattern is the equivalent of 150ish

Tips learned:

1. Fusion pulls from parents' nature, weapon-type, etc.
   • Ie: can cut out full randomization, to create desired pedigree
2. Hibernate often! (To preserve freshness whilst sleeping / afk long periods. (ie: more than 4hrs))

• Best for:
  • Unused, with Full stamina (any)
  • After Training pet (if stamina is nearly full (ie: star) / full (heart)
  • Swapping pets for new strays (ie: starting new strays)

3. Aggro pet vs Support pet

• Support = No devoted pets! The nature is made for aggro. Will continue to eat aggro and ignores you over aggro.

4. You may use any pet, for any class.

• Only limited by:
  • Attack-pattern

5. Easy skill-up:

• Easiest is Gentle / Timid
• Alternative: Skillboost on Fighter
  • Note:
  • Timid varies, because of the "will atk past 4m" thing.
    • Ie: Weapon-type matters: maybe. (Testing in progress to confirm)
• Aka:
  • Level main skills on a Gentle / Timid pet > Transfer to your build's preferred type.
