Unlocking the whippers true potential

[Negateck]

Hello, its negateck again with another post about whippers. This one concerns once again high bullet amounts with different whips. During my recent weapon set creating, I tried using the Fire Whip, Chain, and Flail. Each had a Bullets Card 4 and a Quicks Card 5. The Fire whip served as a ground cover to prevent any enemies from coming too close to the whipper. The Chain did concentrated high damage to multiple enemies, but left the whipper vulnerable to being attacked. As for the Fire Flail, I did not see much use for it.

Each one of my whippers have 117 dex and 31 mag

Another way to increase the constant damage that the fire chain does is by using a garnet on it.

Here is a list of all of the whips I have ANALYZED and TESTED FOR USEFULNESS.

Stone flail w/ bullets and green stone
Explosion whip w/ bullets and blue stone
Ice whip w/ bullets and green stone
Thorn chain w/ bullets and blue stone
Freeze whip w/ diamond and quick*
Fire whip w/ bullets and quick
Fire chain w/ [garnet/bullets] and quicks**
Iron flail w/ berserk and yellow crystal***

*Capable of permanently freezing bosses with lower freeze resistance
** Either build will rapidly kill bosses
***No magical effect, so unless enemies have resistance to magic don't use

As for the potential of a whipper~~
If in a group with 4 whippers, casting effects on one enemy that hit another on the other side of the field(try stone flail)
If with priest, magic effects are amplified
If behind a Juggernaut, kills enemies
If the last one alive, can have whip dragged over enemy to do magic attack

As to what a juggernaut is, see my other post, Gladiator health

Very good but I personally still use starter, I think it is as it uses little mag, with bullet card ad then all str for damage and quick card. Surprising helpful in As with 3 priest helping attacking and defensively with freeze it can kill a boss easily... If its not flying.

Whipper may be one of those classes that could work better with a black stone. See my compo guide for the details but basically the black stone give the most SP value out of any other stone in terms of both SP and LP.

[Alonso]

If all whippet, wouldn't it be good to have black crystal, as that protects it, this also helps with your gladiator.

I just got a video of the whippers keeping a mega boss down. wonder if it will work for the next one.

[Alonso]

Doubt it, they seem to be getting harder and I win only by using a poison charm against pyramid, submarine was actually the hardest but still, they will probably make it harder for meelle as its stupid to make it non resistant to attacks, and it's probably freeze resistant as well. Firer resistant, probably, if it's based in snow, or maybe that will be it's weakness. Really, no one knows but ha55i

As long as it isn't like mountain 1 & 2 being able to be attacked by only one type, i should be able to beat it somehow. as far as testing whips goes im out of whips to test ( I've tested every whip ). The new whip should be ice flail, 120 mp, 50-60 per mp effect, slow 20% based off of the first 2 ice whips.

My whipper could easily keep Pyramid Boss perma frozen alone. I don't know about the next mega boss, but so far, no boss that isn't completely immune to freezing gave me trouble.

[Alonso]

True but they made one immune to poison which is many peoples main tactic, so my bet is that it will be freezing as that also popular. But maybe they just want people to try new tactics which is why I think it will be ice resistant, on that case, judging by the others I would go for a whip that can slow? Maybe fire whips.
