Loka's Roguides

glad i could help with the FAQ section of the guide! i am baby rogue tm so i have many questions!  

Amazing! Very extensive and useful guides, I love all the variations that you wrote 

I can't wait for the Bomb positioning guide to discover new tips and secrets, I think mastering that aspect is one of the hardest parts of playing the class. Adapting to the enemy's movements, how to place them in the first turn, managing the positioning spells and their cooldowns 

Keep it up! 

I thought Evanescence is only supposed to add air spell damage and so does not work with piercing shot- unless you have tested prior and the spell description is wrong

Edit: just realised you didn't exactly say it was for the purposes of boosting piercing shot 's damage- I guess you're talking about a scenario where you need to hop in due to lack of range or Line of Sight

So, here's some clarification: Evanescence's connection does additional air damage when an elemental spell of any element is cast on a target in close combat immediately after the connection is created. It doesn't matter if that's an air spell, fire spell, or earth spell, as long as the enemy in question is in close combat. 

The confusion you're having likely comes from the fact that the damage caused by the connection is Air damage, which is what the description is saying.

Awesome to know, I always thought it was suppose to boost the next barbecue ribs/slap shot/detonate air bombs on target due to the clunky wording, which are the only 3 air ST melee spells available to the Rogue, and as you can imagine is as niche as it comes, and thus I only ever used it for mobility.

Certainly connections would be easier to understand if they followed a standardised format of Trigger Condition: Triggered effect

I guess this is another connection worth storing for longsword other than barbecue ribs

Also might it be useful to mention that while Machine Gun gives range immediately after attacking a linear target, Boot only gives MP after the player does another movement (trigger condition)

For Rogue if I add berserk mastery does it affect bomb damage when Bomb HP is under 50% or when Rogue HP is under 50%

Hey there!  I tried to add you on discord ( Rogalion#1307 ) but it's not finding anyone.  I really want to play Rogue but i'm just not getting how to make things properly work, and I don't want to just play Air because I feel like i'm not taking full advantage of the class.
