When does using a Knuckle start to out damage knuckleless?

I'm lv 27 on my Thunderbreaker and in my stat screen my damage without a knuckle is like 80 damage more than with one. Oh I should say thats with a lv 10 knuckle. lol

Knuckles always outdamage bare hands at the same level. Bare hands gains weapon attack as you level up, until you hit 2nd job, so that's why it's outdamaging the level 10 knuckle.

If you were to remain perma-1st job, would knuckle-less continue to gain weapon attack?

Good question, and I don't think anyone's tried, but I doubt it. It caps at 31 for both Gunslingers and Brawlers.

But, given that certain formulas (avoid for example) change when your job does, it may simply follow the formula endlessly. Granted, having absurdly high barehands damage when you only have 2 skills at your disposal isn't that useful...

You're fine until he's half health, then watch for him turning purple. If you see this, simply go hang on a rope for 20seconds to avoid damage. If he jumps, you jump. If he shoots icicles up, touch him or use Barrage.

Pot after every single hit after you see a strange purple aura emerge from him. That signifies damage reflection is up. Well you can also not attack it during that time, but chugging pots is better than wasting your time not attacking.

Or you can Flash Fist/Drain it to death if you're really paranoid.

Lilynouch is just Leviathan on hard mode. Similar skills except control switching is swapped for DR and the range is ramped up like crazy.

Don't bother attacking during damage reflection, you're only going to do 1 damage per hit. You're better off just waiting.

No, why would it?

I could have sworn people still deal normal damage to the Horsie when Damage Reflection is still up. Are you sure you're not thinking of Super Defense Up? :f6:

Every attack done while Lilynouch is in Super Damage Reflect (Wdef and mdef) results in 1 damage. Snipe and Heaven's Hammer bypass this.

No, why would it?

I mean does the invincible work? o.o

Or you meant it?

The invincibility works, but you still take the reflect damage.

Quick question.

On my Thunder Breaker, I was level 52 and training on Roids/Neo Huroids. I would mob them all to the side and after I killed them all it would fill my energy all the way up (Energy Charge was level 12). When I leveled to 53, I added 2 more points into it making Energy Charge level 14. Now it takes forever to charge up my energy while fighting the same things. Is it supposed to do this?

I keep hearing the same thing from some other TBs as well. Maybe the charging % takes a huge dip at a certain level.

It's a typo.

12	130
13	135
14	14

Okay thanks.
