[General] Cosmic Break: an Extensive Compilation/Guide (Updated 6/30/13)

TEC does NOT affect accuracy. It only affects the % increase or decrease for all non-melee damage.

Oh, and you can't have negative stats. You should probably edit that.

So should it be removed?

i thought it does. to a small extent.

Yep. TEC only controls damage, so far as I know.

Wow so many posts. I wasn't watching this thread because I was busy cramming for a pharmacology midterm AHAHA. I STILL HAVE A PATHOLOGY MIDTERM TO GO! *coughs*

@necrio: Wonderful. I was inspired by reading the posts and pleas for advice from both this forum and my guild. The problem is writing it but hey now that I put down a single part of it down, I'm obligated to finish it!

@Suguri: Thanks for the info. Will be writing it down somewhere along the lines to put down. The sects that are up right now are going to be reorganized time and time again so yeah.

@Reiya and Suguri: Will be posting that be about kamui staff in the weapons section (according to my list here that should be up in a week or two depending on how midterms/finals will be rolling around for me). Pump Gun detail noted. Thanks.

@People who want to know about Tec controlled shots: a long time ago, about I don't know, during OBT2, there was a thread somewhere in the Help section in regards to Tec affecting other things than damage. Someone with popularity/influence had confirmed that tec controlled the spread of shots; people tested it with blasters and shotguns and found that those with a higher tec had a smaller cluster. They also tested with a LPG and realized that the bullets didn't waver as much on the crosshair than those with lower tec. Hence the conclusion. I'll remove the other comment I had about it though because that part, I believe I had read somewhere, but my memory is not clear as of now.



The problem is, most of the data in CB is often experimented, tested, and often, is passed by word of the mouth. That is the reason for all of the skepticism and disbelief. If you guys would like to help test the stuff, and confirm it, I'm sure I won't be the only happy one

I won't lie, I have a lot on my plate right now for the next 3 weeks, so updates will be rather slow until my finals are over (about maybe the 2nd week of May). So I won't be getting back for quite a while to these posts. Keep them coming though, I'm really happy to see this forum isn't totally full of effing damned trolls.

reiya, can you test aura with broken shields too? I'm wondering if there's a legitimately broken and abusable gimmick available here.

Ever since the Aura buff, I've been using Suzeku with a shield and it never came back in Aura mode. Tested it again to make sure, and nope, shield don't regenerate in Aura mode.

But ammo DOES.

Therefore, anything with a high rate of fire or extremely fast ammo usage is easily abused using Aura's ammo regen.

IIRC, only ammo from Aura parts regenerate, not from weapons. Hang on, I'm gonna test it.

EDIT: Just tested it, weapon ammo does not regenerate, only ammo from Aura parts.

Some fly breakpoints here.

@bleab Thanks. I'll put that in when I finally update this again.

@Hyoka (DUDE I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER MAN ;~, Skye and Suguri, I'll put that stuff in the bit about AURA bots when I come across that sect. Thanks again though.

One thing I noticed: You said Quick Boost will not save you from 0 FLY stats.

Quick Boost doesn't do anything for your FLY, airspeed or anything like that. It simply decreases your boost recharge time by 30%(thus essential to AIRs who usually stay in the air as much as possible).
With Quick Boost, the time needed to recharge a fully depleted gauge is approximately one second, give or take half a second or so.

I think they were talking about quick jump, which seems more applicable to the downsides of having 0 FLY.

Meant quick jump yes, sorry about that, will fix this. Ty!

Two more RT-only carts for you to add at the end:

Accel Roll-Allows you to do a midair roll in any direction. Excellent for dodging but every roll eats about 1/4 of your boost gauge or so.
Air Loop-Allows you to somersault in midair. Again, good for dodging but eats about 1/4 of your boost per somersault. This cart is AIRbot exclusive.

Was planning to put that into a separate section (have to mod the table of contents to reflect that) because they're RT carts. Thanks for the description though, I was unsure of how much boost gauge each took out; I've only used air loop for a bit.

You can try them in the single mode. Crim has Air Loop, and Gwayin has Accel Roll.

Half fix'd.
Seraph Tackle can basically function like an Air Loop which doesn't drain as much gauge.
I dunno if Gwyain has Air Loop or Accel Roll. It's been a while.

Gwyain in single mode has air loop.

I've tried air loop personally on my seraph so I have more info on that. I do have quite a few 7 day Accel Rolls in case I can't find the bot with it in single mode. I'll crack one open to test it and see where it can fit better.

Accel Roll is basically like an Air Loop, with 1) shorter animation and 2) no added height.
Think of Accel Roll as a barrel roll, in the air. Air Loop is like a backflip.

I personally like Accel Roll better. Two reasons:
1) At the top and bottom of the loop, your velocity momentarily drops to zero, making you an easy target.
2) The evasion value is lower since it takes longer to finish the animation.

What determines how fast you land from the air? I noticed that Lily Rain EVE in the mission was able to chain float dashes extremely quickly.

Most likely Quick Land; this cart reduces the lag-time you experience when landing, thus allowing you to move almost immediately after landing.

Nope.avi

The only things that make you land quicker are Tengu BS, Izuna core and Brix BS, Quick land cart just decreases your cooldown time for another takeoff by 30%, hence it's a hopper must cart.

Tempura's TL team trolled you good.

Then why can Lily Rain EVE float dash so often?
