Episode 2: Stage 4/Guide

Lockgun/Railgun usage on HUcaseal and HUcast

HUcaseal can equip Lockgun at the start of the stage, but HUcast can not. Neither class can equip Railgun at the start of the stage. It is possible for a HUcaseal to equip a Railgun before the fight with Olga Flow if she gains enough levels and feeds her Mag enough Antiparalysis and Antidotes. HUcasts will not be able to equip Lockgun before the fight with Olga Flow by Mag feeding alone. Marksman/Arm, General/Arm, or Elf/Arm units can drop in this stage to help players equip these weapons. If a Ranger is present in the party, they can swap Mags with a HUcaseal to give her earlier access to Railgun, or with a HUcast to help with equipping a Lockgun or Railgun.

Additional stats required to equip Railgun on HUcaseal (no Mag swap)

	Level 23	Level 24	Level 25	Level 26	Level 27	Level 28	Level 29	Level 30	Level 31	Level 32	Level 33
Total DEX level on Mag	3 (+0)		4 (+1)		3 (+0)	5 (+2)	4 (+1)	3 (+0)	6 (+3)	5 (+2)	3 (+0)
ATA-boosting units equipped	General/Arm + Marksman/Arm		Marksman/Armx2	General/Arm		Marksman/Arm			None

• Note that by Level 31 HUcaseal is able to equip Railgun without the assistance of Arm units as long she has fed enough Antidotes and Antiparalysis for her Mag to reach a total of 6 DEX. In a 4 player party, this would require feeding all 4 players' starting Antidotes and Antiparalysis and finding an additional 3 Antidotes or Antiparalysis. This would take a total of 9 Mag feeding cycles, and could be achieved no earlier than when the stage timer is at 31:30.
