== 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 [[Antidote|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|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.

* 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.

== FOnewm breakpoints ==
Due to [[FOnewm]]'s naturally high MST and boosted damage when using Gi and Ra [[Techniques]], both of which can drop in this stage, he is widely considered to be the strongest [[Force]] in this stage. The following table provides information on the number of casts required to defeat various enemies with certain techniques if the player has high enough MST. In this stage, MST can be boosted by using [[Mind Material|Mind Materials]], or equipping any [[Priest/Mind]], [[General/Mind]], or [[Angel/Mind]] units which drop. Equipping a [[Staff]] will also increase FOnewm's MST by 10, but will also cause FOnewm to cast Techniques at a slightly slower speed than if he were casting bare-handed.

Lockgun/Railgun usage on HUcaseal and HUcast[edit | edit source]

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.

FOnewm breakpoints[edit | edit source]

Due to FOnewm's naturally high MST and boosted damage when using Gi and Ra Techniques, both of which can drop in this stage, he is widely considered to be the strongest Force in this stage. The following table provides information on the number of casts required to defeat various enemies with certain techniques if the player has high enough MST. In this stage, MST can be boosted by using Mind Materials, or equipping any Priest/Mind, General/Mind, or Angel/Mind units which drop. Equipping a Staff will also increase FOnewm's MST by 10, but will also cause FOnewm to cast Techniques at a slightly slower speed than if he were casting bare-handed.
