HUmar/Guide

This article is currently a stub. A stub is an article which does not cover all information available about the topic. You can help by expanding it.

HUmar is a human Hunter. He has the second highest ATP in the game, and has decent starting stats, having high HP, ATP, and decent ATA. With good equipment, he is able to do very good damage, as long as another party member or Photon Blast provides him with Shifta.

However, despite his description on the character creation screen, he is considered to be one of the least balanced and least versatile character types in the game due to not having access to traps, high level techniques, Shifta or Deband, or any special weapons from the Ranger arsenal. HUmar is only advised for players who wish to play a character which could be considered a challenge, as the lack of crowd control options means that players must be creative in how they tackle various different scenarios.

If the player is truly looking for a character type suited for beginners, or a jack-of-all-trades, RAmar and RAmarl are advised over HUmar. If the player wishes to play a Hunter specifically, HUnewearl is more beginner friendly than HUmar due to her access to good support techniques.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Second highest ATP - Allows HUmar to do lots of damage in the right scenarios
• Access to powerful Hunter weapons - Weapons such as Dark Flow and Vjaya allow HUmar to do extremely high damage, albeit only in specific scenarios and for high costs

Cons

• Limited effective range - In comparison to Rangers and Forces, Hunters do not have as much area-of-effect range, meaning their effectiveness is lowered if not positioned correctly
• Bad for solo play - Without access to Shifta, HUmar must rely on S-Red's Blade, making him weaker than both HUcast and HUnewearl in solo play
• Low level techniques - HUmar's techniques have slow casting speed and low range, making them less useful for purposes such as stun locking or crowd control
• Ineffective crowd control - Without access to traps, higher level techniques, or the Ranger weapons, HUmar can struggle with crowd control

General Recommendations for HUmar

Purplenum

M&A60 Vise with high hit attribute is a core HUmar item that has many potential sources on Purplenum. Vise and Pyscho Wand can be hunted together in Caves, often in the same quest. Frozen Shooter and Lavis Cannon can be hunted by Purplenum in the Forest.

The Central Control Area offers a solid hunt for the valuable Heaven Punisher, along with the end-game special improving unit: V502. Parasitic Gene Flow drops from Ogla Flow on this id, however, Yellowboze is a competitive ID for hunting this item (Maximum Attack E: Gal Da Val can be a better quest to hunt for PGF on Purplenum compared to Respective Tomorrow).

For Point of Disaster in Episode 4, the Rare Boss, Kondrieu drops Heaven Striker, which, like Psycho Wand, can be traded to other players for Photon Drops to afford better gear for your HUmar. Even a hitless Heaven Striker can be worth one or two photon drops while trading with other players.

Bluefull

A similar choice to Purplenum, but the primary hunt this id offers is Vjaya instead of M&A60 Vise. Vjaya is incredibly strong, but less frequently utilized weapon by players in standard gameplay when compared with other HUmar staples like M&A60 Vise, Dark Flow, or Diska of Braveman.

Psycho Wand can be hunted in the Seabed of Episode 2 from Delbiter. Heaven Striker can be hunted from Del-D in the Ruins of Episode 1. This ID offers one of the easiest, but least likely to yield success hunts for the highly desirable ranger weapon, Heaven Punisher from Hildetorrs (rare enemy) in Episode 1.

Yellowboze

Yellowboze can hunt Frozen Shooter and Spread Needle, Cannon Rouge (rare enemy), as well as both Lame d'Argent and Galatine - two of the best sabers for any class that can wield them. Other strong items to hunt on Yellowboze include: V101, Daylight Scar (rare boss), Photon Filter, and Select Cloak, the last two being components for Divine Filter. A HUmar with this id will likely be spending most of the time in the Mines of Episode 1, and Episode 4 quests that include killing the boss (for chances to hunt Galatine, or Daylight Scar).

Whitill

Whitill is a powerful ID that gets many coveted and valued items in almost every area in the game. Whitill is the most unrestrictive ID, giving players the freedom to play any content and still have the chance of scoring something big, in contrast to more restrictive IDs such as Bluefull, which focus players into certain areas. Whitill finds many good items such as V502, Heaven Striker, Diska of Braveman, Frozen Shooter, Slicer of Fanatic, and more!

Viridia

If the player's primary interests are boss rushes like Towards The Future and Respective Tomorrow, Viridia is a good choice. Red Ring and Parasitic Gene "Flow" are coveted drops which only drop from the bosses at the end of Episode 1 and Episode 2. L&K38 Combat with high hit attribute is a very potent HUmar weapon and highly sought after by other players.

Skyly

Skyly has access to many essential HUmar items and an increased rate of finding sword-type weapons, which is important in the early game and for finding Hit Caliburs later. Items include Daylight Scar, Sealed J-Sword, Zanba, Red Ring, and Lame d'Argent. Be warned that Skyly is not always the ideal HUmar id, despite it having many items desired by the class. Players who find success with this id for HUmar likely have experience and strong middle to late game items at their disposal.
