More Vs mode questions (Thunder spear vs volcano)

[zelkova]

Q1: How do the guide card effect super volcano? Is it helpful in VS mode?

Q2: Which would do the most dps? A guide card equipped thunder spear orb or a super volcano without a card?

Q3: I notice that many players max the range so they get the first attack...While doing the same give the same outcome I would like to save SP and have the first attack miss me. So what range would I need so an attack from a volcano orb won't hurt me and yet able me to get an attack in myself asap?

Q1: The guide card has nearly no effect on super volcano. It just affects the orb and not very strong.
Q2: Without sp or anything thunder spear does max 73 dmg/sec, while super volcano damages 35 per frame, if every flame hits. But that is of course the problem, projectiles need time to hit the enemy, the flames start to rise and an important thing, flame damage does not increase with mag and if you put too much sp into str, the projectile will take even longer to reach the enemy...
Q3: That depends entirely on how much str the enemy has.

Let assume he have more then enough range to attack as soon the match start. How mach range would I need to walk pass his first poison arrow/volcano attack and have my group attack soon after? I do know how many pixels are in each range point and how many I need to cause my opponent first attack to miss.

Know what? All Volcanoes misses on first hit on what it meant to hit. So if you're walking alone there's 0.1 chance it can hit you, unless you got real bad luck or it left some remains of flames killing your teamates infront. Tell me If I'm wrong :\

[zelkova]

well volcano is usually true but the arrows still cause a minor problem. Even if the arrow miss there is still the poison fog effect. Also if I happen to have max range then volcano will hit me.

I need the highest possible range without maxing it or else that first volcano attack will hit be regardless how slow it is. So I want my characters to walk about two steps before attacking. What range would that be in vs mode?

Never use guide card with volcano because it misses, it dies out before setting off and the enemy walks so it misses. Use guide card for lightning stuff.
