The problem with a direct build for the Braver class as i've heard from veteran builders is the end goal. Bravers can transfer easily to melee heavy classes. If your goal is Br/Ph for example both melee and range is useful as the weapons are: Katana,Rod,Assault Rifle and Bow. Braver can be hybrid as a a result. If you choose to go the path of katana only or bow only that will dictate your build. If anyone has either and a hybrid that would be useful. Im still experimenting....

If you need something immediate use the JP server players/vets ...

@Mattwo7 I currently, do not have a sub class. I waiting for Ph as my subclass. I can use PA which it which is crazy in my opinion.

@Mattwo7 Reminds me of Weiss' guns in FF 7 Dirge of Cerberus and yes they did because i have these two guns that dropped from an urgent mission and it works fine. I however only use it fun funsies not for utility unlike the bow which is use primarily for utility and flying enemies.

Deuman, without the horn haha. I like the look and certainly love the reference to demon/human or dark elves. Deuman Br/Ph for the win.

1. Will SEGA expand more packs over time or are the founders pack and ragol packs the only ones?
2. How popular are the Br/Ph ARKS in game?
3. Mag training resource guide? Trying not to mess up for my build
4. Crafting guidlelines for high tier weps and acc?

With this corona virus im waiting a bit before i throw money anywhere. However, i feel that the game is truly free to play. AC will be great in time as it develops in NA. For now i wont be using AC until im perhaps in my later levels. The founders pack seems great the ragol pack wont be something im getting.

Samurai for sure with a modern feel. Gunblades are a more modern thing for sure. Katana and bow are classic. The additiion of the ability to use the twin machine guns however, is new. IN JP version i didnt see that in the introduction. Nevertheless having options is nice. For most this is deceptively beginner friendly, however, as i watched a lot of veteran players, there are layers to this class.

A. The blade alone. You can go for a straight katana build and focus skill rings and let you mag spec out melee dmg and dexterity B. The Ranged fighter. you can go for a bow build and focus primarily on the free sheet given for the lambda bow in the beginning for lvl 30 and start speccing out from there. C. Hybrid. The true ability of this class is the versatility to go between both however, you lose out on capping dps for either this way. UNLE you want to heavily invest in skill tree resets opening another skill tree or really calculating your next steps by hoarding SP until you are certain. This is what makes this class daunting. Furthermore unless you pay attention to its need for high DEX you can set your mag "wrong" and have too little DEX in otder to top out damge which may be confusing.

Unless you've played devil may cry 3 specia l edition, 4 or 5 or recent samurai games the counter system and focus system is definitely different way to play. Id go even farther to say bow style play is more idiot proof.

TIP: For the lambda bow try to do as many of the urgent quests as possible thats how i got the red gunblade and red katana within the first day of playing
