Thanks for the tips! ñ_ñ

Also, I don't know if it is intentional or not but it seems that the speed boost from Nerwin´s hero skill aslo increases the speed for courage recovery, using that + Heat Up helped me a lot as you attack faster and recover courage faster. (And both have 60 s cooldown with 20 s buff)

Hi! Good day~

I'm just suggesting to move your guide on google docs and put it as a link here,
so you can easily/casually update it.

You can also put ez images there so it won't be boring as hell,
as well as embedding gifs, linking some youtube guides, etc.

Also don't make it some of the block wall of text making anyone hard to read here on forums.

PS. I'm looking forward to le updates.

Rotation Explanation:

Randgrid does not have a set rotation.

It is easier to think of the rotation when you categorize the skills like the following:

Long Duration Buffs(Casted before battle starts):

Prosperity

Power of Knightnesss

Debuff Skills:

Iron Lance

(Brandish)

Land Crush (CM3 for faster casting)

Falling Meteors

Filler Skills:

Stomp N Stab (both normal and Instant version)

Rising Lava

Lava Raid

Heroic Charge

Flash Lift

Main DPS skills:

Counter Flare

Heat Up

Iframe skills/Utility:

Splitter

Hornet’s Touch

Parrying Step

Blaze Strike

Heroic Charge

Fighting Spirit

The rotation for Heat Up and counter flare is already describe at COURAGE SYSTEM AND HEAT UP, and will be abbreviated as Heat Up in the rotation description.

Debuff -> Heat Up -> Filler skills -> (wait for heat up CD) -> Debuff -> Filler skills

The sequence of how you spam the filler skills does not impact the dps much. Generally you will want to spam Lava Raid as often as possible for more CM1 triggers.

Iframe skills and Utility skills are used to whenever the situation seems fit.

Following are some personal opinions on when you should use the Iframe/Utility skills:

Splitter:

Used mostly to cancel the action for Brandish and Heat up. Can use after any skills of randgrid for faster cast animations. I also use this skill for Ball mech on FDN dragon stage.

Hornet’s Touch:

Can be used between most skills with spacebar. This skill is buggy for me due to my high ping, thus you won’t see me cast this often (or maybe i did cast, but failed due to latency).

Parrying Step:

Easier to cast than hornet’s touch, also have a long iframe even when parry failed. But the CD is very long for randgrid, I will say it’s best to save this for emergency

Blaze Strike:

Very long Iframe + in air time. Perfect for iframing some mechs. However, casting this means dropping dps because of its long cast time and low dmg. Usually saves it unless emergency.

Heroic Charge:

Long iframe + decent dmg + can move while casting. Usually not used as utility but as a filler skill. But you can also save this skills to evade certain mechs, such as the wifi spikes during FDN dragon. Also, this skill is best to be used with high mouse sensitivity. It is possible to reach maximum board dmg even on small bosses if you have a high mouse sensitivity. Max hit: 34, Total board dmg: 15300%

Fighting Spirit:

Buff that recovers HP per hit on enemies. Usually use as an emergency HP recovery method. Since heroic charge provides high hit count + long iframe, Fighting Spirit is usually cast before heroic charge for safe hp recovery.

GEARING UP:

Basically is same with most STR classes.

However, due to Lance Mastery, Randgrid can reach critical dmg and critical rate cap much more easier than most other classes.

Weapons:

FDN(Main weapon only)>Skilla>Calypse

FDN weapon buff duration is the same with heat up. Thus it is very good for randgrid.

Generally you will want to upgrade your weapons slowly as you progress. There is not much choice here, so i won’t say more at this category.

Armor:

Helmet:

Skilla >= Randgrid Goddess (situational) > Other Ancient Helmets > Calypse

Upper and Lower:

Skilla > Calypse tier 3 +20 > Ancient parts

Gloves and shoes:

+10 Skilla>= +10 Randgrid goddess > +10 ancient parts (roughly = skilla +8) > tier 3 +20

I will say its best to stick with the traditional calypse -> skilla upgrade route for most cases.

However, if you are low in funds and somehow got ancient gloves/shoes, they are good replacements for calypse/skilla as long as they are str stats. For helmet it depends on your stat, but usually i will say skilla helmet is best for randgrid. I will talk about this more in the goddess section of this guide. For lower and upper, if you have plans to enhance them, you shouldn’t go for ancient gears, as they will end up as a waste of money as you progress.

Accessories:

FD not yet 14944:

2 L GDN (any part) + 2 Refined Genesis:

Highest FD accessory set. Can use for a long time.

Generally i think GDN neck + Faraway ring is best for this set.

Low in funds:

Mist queen neck (patk%) + crystal flame (element same as your atk jade)/determination + Ring of new moon (patk%)

All labyrinth accessories. Basically free. Note that 5th step versions of mist queen/crystal flame are very close in stat to geraint accessories with 2 L jades on. New moon 5th step are also very useful when you want to get more defence. Remember to save those if you are lucky enough to get one.

End game targets (only when you have more than 14944 FD):

Geraint Accessories:

Only good when you have full L jades.

FDN ring:

Good when you have the GDN 2 set alrdy, or in extreme cases, 2 geraint/5th step Mist+ crystal 2 FDN.

5th Step Mist/Crystal:

Replacements for geraint. Mist is only usable for endgame when you get 5th step. But crystal is good for all steps as it is better than most earrings when you are full FD.

Plates:

Basic: Fatal/Ultimate/Bear/Wind/Iron Wall/Health/Life Vitality/Destruction/Tent

Aim for 89% crit rate and 300% ctd in nest first.

FD should be your last consideration, since FD plates are very expensive.

If you don’t have anything else to use for 3rd stat, pdef and mdef 3rd stat plates are a good choice since they allows you to tank more stuff while dpsing.

Talisman:

Aim for STR 2nd stat if possible, as they are also the endgame talisman.

Placement depends on stats. Usually talisman is used for adjusting ctd/crit.

If possible, put elemental talisman/Guardian at the 200% slot, as they are usually stronger than other talisman. Ultimate talisman should also be put at 175% or 200% slot if you are not full FD yet.

Jades:

STR vit jades are usually the best choice for randgrid, due to the need of tanking through attacks. But generally any STR jades are good. For attack jades, do not use ecj on randgrid since she is not an ecj class. However, she can use any element, so as long as you get the ele jades of the same element, it is good for randgrid.

You should not worry about how many atk% and ele% jades you should use until you are getting high grade U jades or L jades.

GODDESS ON RANDGRID:

I will only discuss about goddess helmet/gloves/shoe in this part.

Goddess Helmet:

Generally, goddess helmet for randgrid is weaker than skilla.

This is because Randgrid’s dmg are mostly on Counterflare, which is a skill that doesn’t have goddess.

However, goddess helmet for certain skills are very useful when your heat up is still in CD.

Note that this won’t increase your DPS significantly, but is useful when you are dealing with dps check mechs in certain raids/nests.

Usable skills:

Land Crush

Lava Raid

Stomp N Stab

Iron Lance

Land Crush > Lava Raid > Iron Lance >= Stomp and Stab

Goddess gloves:

Randgrid doesn’t need action spd.

I will say that if you have skilla +10 gloves already, you don’t need to invest in this.

Goddess Shoe:

Doesn’t give a significant dps increase.

However, is still better than skilla if you get the following skill parts:

Useable skills:

Land Crush

Lava Raid

Stomp N Stab

Iron Lance

Land Crush > Lava Raid > Iron Lance >= Stomp and Stab

*Note for goddess shoe and helmet:

You should use the respective skill on your goddess more frequently in rotation. Using CD plate or dmg plate for your goddess skill will be a good choice too.

RANDGRID IN FDN

Randgrid in nests and GDN is terrible in most cases due to the bar mechs and high SA cancel attacks.

Thus I won’t say much about that here.

DPS/Skill detail/gears at end of video.

S1:

First boss is very annoying as it often walks away from your counterflare. Note that the attack at 3:17 has high SA break, you should not cast counter flare during this attack, as it will be canceled.

Second boss’s binding roots will also cancel counter flare if it binds you.

Third boss’s fire circles have high SA break, need to make sure to avoid casting counterflare when the boss is using that skill.

S2:

Most attacks cannot cancel counter flare. However, attacks that pushes you back and the exploding orbs in night time can cancel counter flare.

S3:

Lamia’s exclamation mark stomp and attack at 20:22 cancels counter flare. Other stuff you can tank through them :3

Right side boss usually doesn’t cancel counter flare, but the electrocute debuff does.

Left side boss runs a lot, he will run away before canceling you.

Last boss has high dmg, best to iframe when you are low in HP.

S4 (Dragon):

Most stuff will cancel your counter flare. I think the best spot to dps will be at the right hind leg, as most attacks won’t reach there.

For mushroom controlling, you can abuse the iframe from heroic charge when clearing yellow mushroom or clearing a large group of blue mushroom.
