'yuki > gekko > kasha > fudo' for 'frag > light > I recall relic WS-es (or any WS with LV3 property) can only continue one 'step', e.g. Of course, regarding the self-light property of fudo, you might be better off using this 4 step WS twice: (Note: You can't use fudos in place of the 2 gekkos mid-chain, as the Gekko's secondary reverberation property is needed to make Fragmentation, and if you used Fudo instead of 2nd gekko, it would make light with Fragmentation instead) Jinpu > kasha > yuki > gekko > gekko > kasha > rana > gekko (or fudo) So I think, damage-wise, the best combo so far (without Amano) is a 8 step dark: However, you could still extend that, pulling off 8 WS (like Joshi did), if you add jinpu > gekko as starter WS. Yep, yuki-gekko-gekko-kasha-rana-gekko(fudo) is the usual 6 step darkness for massive damage. 'You can use Tachi: Jinpu to create a continuous level 1 skillchain which goes back and forth between Detonation first and then Scission (followed by Detonation, etc). (Atma: VV, Smiting Blow, Griffon's Claw, Food)Īnd if you want an easy to remember SC that you can use well with a brew, I refer you to a piece of info I found on the wiki:

Other than that, without Kaiten or Fudo the best I've got so far is a 6xWS SC I just did trying to zerg NMs in Abyssea using the previous idea but swapping the initial Fragmentation for Yuki>Gekko and the final one for Gekko to make Darkness, so as SAM/DNC it goes like this: (Or replace Gekko with Fudo) so as SAM with Kaiten and Rana, you want to aim for the Level 2 circle for most damage and this is already described by Sylph.Zenairis:īy using level 2 SC attributes you can cycle around like this for as long as you want(can) and then end with a Kaiten after Fusion to make a Light(or 2?). Unfortunately, you need Tachi: Kaiten to achieve this. Level1 + Level1 attributes can be used to easily make Level1 SCs.(see Cerberus.Luminiel's post above)Ī Level1 + Level2 will make Level2 SCs but once you make a Level2 SC, you can't go back to Level1, you have to use more Level2 WSs to keep the SC at Level2 or end it with a Level3.įortunately, the 4 Tier2 attributes make a one-way circle(or square :P) Level3 SCs do good damage but will end your SC streak. I learnt some basic rules for long skillchains: In 3 and 4 step you have more room to time WSs instead of trying to keep up with time remaining till end of the skillchain window.I'm hoping to get Fudo soon so I've been looking at what new SCs I can make as well as how long can I make a good SC. Mob can also have strong TP moves that you dont want to get hit with in your WS set.

Also 6 steps can be problematic if mob has stun/paralyze/slow (even if you get slowed/paralyzed for few seconds before healer will take it off, it can still be enough to break 6 step). Jobs like DNC also have big skillchains bonus and there is no reason to go for 6 step, when 3 and/or 4 step Darkness is already doing cap damage. In this video I go over the basics of skillchains in a streamlined way with just the information you n. Doing 99k Radiance at the end means nothing if you make few 10k WSs and 15k skillchains to get there. This video is a followup to my other skillchain video. Mob can also have strong resist or even absorb of few elements, so only specific lv2 or lv3 skillchains might be efective. For example if you are using weak WSs and 3+ Lv1 skillchains to build up, then it can be a huge dps loss. Why 3-4 step when you can 6 step Radiance?ĭepends what skillchains and WSs you are using for it.
