If you're looking for an armor more readily available than the Universal, you can make a quite servicable one by just stacking Elemental Leathers (4 Wires+ and Rivets Synthesis) onto a Mithril Mesh. For factors, try the Angel Feather+ Card (purchaseable from Familiar Spirit Level 7+) stackable 20% chance to take 20% less damage.
Hey Tusanity. SPOILERS INCOMING !!! Good and easy way to make tons of money: stack your reserve rush bar with Fol+ and let the scumbags steal all your money, kill em and gain massive amounts of money. The downside is when you do it to early in the game they flee, but the stronger ones doesn't flee anymore (in my expierence). First i did it on that spaceship where you save relia. After 4 or 5 rounds i got 99.999.999Fol
+Suna Aoimori check out my Postgame power leveling guide. I show a setup with +7rushgauge X 4 on a weapon and armor, they all stack. It took me 2 fights to fill the gauge.
Couldn't you also use nil paint on an elemental leather then add the 3 fortitude amulets instead? This way you get an additional elemental leather instead of using the less affective mithril mesh.
have you tried taking 5 valk garbs and augmenting the 20% chance to reduce 30% damage in 5 slots of one character(2 gears)? wanna test it later but curious if you've already tried it ou and seen whether it grants invincibility without the need for DMW
I wanna try augmenting insignivons on levantines about 4 of that and another three to augment on dragon's bellow so basically a dragon's bellow with the damage stats of 7 levantines and 4 +7 rush gauge unit factors, will it work? or will the factor change after augmenting it on the dragon's bellow? would be nice if it worked so i can proceed to do the same to optimize a super rush charging Emmerson with decent damage stats and DMW.
Dude I made a whole rush building set lol, 2 accessories armor and a weapon, all stacked with +7 lol. It charges to full in like 5 hits. Works great so you should have no problem with that type of setup.
+Tusanity thank you very much, I made my first universal armor, very exited but I know the only way to make them is orichalcum and that's only for bosses. is there a way to just farm them from not too difficult bosses? if so. what boss do you recommend because I heard that they do reappear..or is that just for gabriel and the queen?
+blkmattymatt you have to kill Ethereal Queen for them to reappear. Best bet would to have the floor mapped out and save your game. Then use your map to find that boss and kill him and if he doesn't drop orichalcum then just reload and try again.
