How long does it take to get from 200-210 on a not-that-well funded character?

Heroes have that big IgnorePDR skill right? Then leave the Lumi. Go for DA and DS since those level pretty well. Lumis level fast but the benefit of that extra 5% IgnorePDR isn't worth the effort. Even a Xenon gives better stuff (except they don't have Level3 Link yet I think?).

Heros do have 50% PDR passively, but in EMS we don't have monster life/ monster cards so PDR is a lot harder to get than it is for you. We're getting chaos RA soonish so PDR is kinda important. Currently I'm at 77%, but with the lumi level 3 link I'll be at 78.3, which is actually only a 1.1% damage increase on chaos vellum.

Eh, fine, I'll stick with just the DS and DA. My Xenon is only level 120 right now so I won't be considering levelling that until much later.
