AURA questions regarding STR and TEC

Subject: AURA questions regarding STR and TEC Mon Jul 11, 2011 9:51 pm

1. Does the AURA have the same duration factors like Wonder Bits?
(that is, duration depends on the difference between STR/TEC)

2. If the answer to Question 1 is 'Yes', then when are they dependent on the stats, is it before I activate AURA, or after?
(My current build has both STR/TEC at 16; and when AURA is on, STR stays at 16 while TEC goes up to 18.)

1. Yes

2. I keep forgetting, but I'm pretty sure it's based on the stats after aura. I'll go look it up again to be sure.

EDIT: Yes, it does in fact use stats after aura, not before. And on that note, if your str/tec is 0 without aura but gets brought up to 1 or higher during aura, you aren't penalized for it.

ppl often make aura bot 's STR/TEC unbalance
because with higher dmg you can do more dps it's better than stay in aura mode longer and do chip damage

Going off of that, higher damage also makes it easier to charge your bit.

And activating/reactivating the bit more frequently means more ammo restores on your aura parts, too.

Hard part is always making sure you're actually useful out of aura to a degree.

What about on Icy? Since she cant activate her WB normally, Would it be okay if my Str/Tec was way unbalanced? Like, 3 Str/40 Tec unbalanced.

It's totally fine as long as neither stat is below 0. My lios is about 2 strength w/ 26 str? (somewhere around there) and there really is no problem with aura running out in 10 seconds.
The problem with Icy is her limited Aura because she can only gain her aura status through the use of her BD ability. The only way to lengthen the duration even further is with wonder drugs. Don't try to use wonder drugs while you're OUT of aura or that will be one wasted aura.
