Diana mobility and cart question

Ace Poster Posts : 1092 Join date : 2011-11-19 Age : 32

I know that ARTs in general are better tuned for fly > wlk, but when I took a look at her carts they tend to support wlk build alot more than fly.

I currently have a build in my head that gets her to 35 wlk and 6 fly which end up to be an orange tier boost run, but I'm not sure if that would be better for her instead of a 30+ fly build.

Some question on my head are:

1. In term of boost run speed how is ART (or maybe some other class) compare to LND?

2. If I were to put short boost as mobility cart for a fly build, should I still add quick land?

3. Any thoughts about hopping boost run Diana?

1. For running speed, even with the same stats air/art/sup are slower than land. Same with boost run.
2. If you have extra carts left you should..but if you're planning on using accel roll its kinda useless I think
3. Hop+Boost run is always a bad idea since the boost gauge runs out pretty fast.

And from what i know alpha arts are usually fly based with short boost as a support dash cart. I dunno what carts diana has but If i were you i would give her 31/38 fly+short boost+accel roll.
I'm not pro alpha art player so things above are just suggestions

If she gets Quick Boost, you'll probably want to pick that up. If you're running a FLY build with accel roll, you pick it up without question.

Short Boost and Boost Run can work well, you just have to manage your gauge a little better (Quick Boost helps here as well). Note that Boost Run lasts much longer than your flying gauge, and if you short boost before you run out of boost, the lag time it takes to get back into Boost Run usually fills up a good portion of your gauge before you start running again (with no Quick Land, that is).

Thanks for the suggestion. I've never played alpha ART before either. If I take the short boost accel roll path then I probably will go capa x5, EIW x2, shortboost, and probably leave her at level 8. If i were to go pass 8 I probably will add a broad radar.

I would keep going and grab Broad...but I'm not sure of her capa. You could wait until the calc gets updated for Regal Gara and try out some builds. In the meantime just level her up and see how things go.

Spoiler:

What I came up with after adding roll and broad. Her capa is really tight if I were to add broad radar and I have to abuse high tunes all the way.

If you dont really care about wonderbits you could probably swap some/most of them to high boost beta tunes.

Thanks. Originally I was planning to leave 1 str to drop a statue as diversion when melees come in but now I am able to put on broad radar as well as extra hp

When you transform into union mode, Roi's AM takes over as both hands and whatever was equipped on Roi originally is disabled. The alpha weapons are the 2 am and dual floating cannon on top.

When playing on riding mode, Roi's only main weapon is a pulsardio weapon that gives insignificant damage and disorder status. Roy's sub weapon is a far range lockon rocket arm that has increased accuracy when target is further away, and a explosion much like amateus core
