Raiding guide
Introduction
This guide discusses the best option and some alternatives for your equipment to be a strong DD (Damage Dealer).
The best options cost a lot of money, make sure to be prepared to spend not just some millions but billions for a single item.
Always keep in mind that damage in Olympus stacks multiplicative, the best weapon on the server means nothing if you don’t own a fairy, so balance your expenses.
Passives
First of all you need passive skills as they buff you anywhere you go.
Krem skills, found in the NosCamp Cave, learned from Doggo and A6.1, A6.2, A7 and A8 books are the main passive skills you need to buff your base damage.
Your damage increases with corresponding stat as follow:
- Intelligence - Magic damage and magic defense.
- Agility - Ranged damage, ranged defense and evasion.
- Strength - Melee damage and melee defense.
All the other books like hp, mp or defenses are nice to have as they increase your survivability but they don’t increase your damage.
You are able to see the full list of all Passives here.
Tattoos
- Crit based classes: Attack Stance and Piercing Gaze.
- Mages: Arcane Wisdom/ Snakebite and Attack Stance.
Upgrade Attack Stance first.
Titles
Titles make up a small part of your damage, everyone gets them and it only takes a few clicks to equip one.
By hovering at the bosses icon next to his name you can check what class he is therefore which title is important.
- Zenith - Probably the most used title as all A6 and A7 bosses are High-level monsters.
- Templar Robin Hood Arch Mage Black Belt - Valehir and Alzanor are dragons, you need the class specific 5% damage boost here as zenith doesn’t work on dragons.
- Saviour of NosVille - Very small use case but Ibrahim and Morcos are humans.
- Indefatigable - Mostly run on Destroyer and Berserker. Speed to lever or debuff faster is always nice to have.
Pets
There are many different answers here. The most used pets are as follow:
- Vessel Event pets - These pets increase your damage by a flat amount. While they aren’t as consistent as the others it’s fun to play because your damage spikes a ton when the effect triggers.
Only use them combined with the respective Vessel Event Hat. - Pix - The go-to res drain pet. It’s strongest in raids where your elemental damage outperforms your physical damage. Really strong on mages.
- Lupis - It increases your damage while providing crit chance. Strongest on crit based classes as mages, other than dg, cannot crit.
- Baby Panda - Some raids use provokes, mostly Vale and Alza, to clear mobs hordes faster. A few Pandas are a must-have for the team. Panda is also the best pet for farming right now.
Cheaper options
- Pirate Bushi (Shadow) - They are like a Mini-Pix for a specific element.
- Cowboy Bushtail - Alternative to Lupis, depending on your build it’s possibly even better than Lupis.
- Otter - Weaker version of Panda.
Partner
The best partners right now are Pir (mage), Pur (archer) and Par (swordsman). They increase your damage and move the fastest.
Other than that Erdimien, Jennifer and Frigg are a little faster than the base partners.
PSPs
This one gets asked a lot. The easiest way to figure out which PSP is best or what to buy first is to ask yourself: Which raids am I going to join? If the answer is: All Raids!!! You need to be prepared to spend money on more than one.
As for PSPs there are 3 categories:
damage Amplifiers, Resistance Drainers and Special PSPs.
The skills of the PSPs need to be on Rank S to be useful in Raids.
Class specific
The first PSPs has a 100% chance to increase the damage by 20%.
The second has a 25% chance to increase the damage by 20%.
Combining these two effects leads a 100% chance to increase damage by 40%.
Swordsman
- One-Winged Perti Specialist Partner Card 2nd Skill
- Palina Puppet Master's Specialist Partner Card 1st Skill
Archer
- Sheriff Chloe's Specialist Partner Card 1st Skill
- Daniel Ducats 2nd Skill
Mage
- Laurena's Specialist Partner Card 3rd Skill
- Harlequin's Specialist Partner Card 3rd Skill
Resistance Drainers
Reduce the specific element resistance by a certain %.
-
Water: Freya's Specialist Partner Card 2nd Skill
-
Fire: Harlequin's Specialist Partner Card 3rd Skill
-
Light: Guardian Lucifer's Specialist Partner Card or Archangel Lucifer's Specialist Partner Card 3rd Skill
-
Shadow: Archdaemon Amon's Specialist Partner Card or Amon's Specialist Partner Card 2nd Skill
In every raid you need at least one of those, depending of the raid element.
Specials
- Akhenaton the Cursed Pharaoh 3rd Skill
Increase target elemental damage taken by 10%.
Very good for 15 or 20 player raids as the debuff is aoe and lasts long.
However, the damage boost is low.
- Mad March Hare Specialist Partner Card 2nd Skill
Test Subject Specialist Partner Card 3rd Skill
Increase your own damage by 15% for a small period.
In A8 raids you normally don’t play them at all, since other debuffers affects all the team instead of only one person.
- Little Princess Venus 2nd Skill
Having all the skills in S grade gives the owner 200 enhanced damage.
Debuff acts like a potential short damage amplifier for all classes on top of their respective PSPs.
However, debuff only has 60% chance to trigger.
Hitting debuff in a raid can melt the boss but it’s only an extra so you need the other debuffs first.
