186 Mind 12 Def 2 Dex Mag

Gender
Male
Update: Due to a tiny change in Blue Blue Burst. Repeatedly banking the mag some to shave off def gains is required to get a 13/0/2/185 mag. A 12/0/2/186 mag like I made on Dreamcast might still be possible, banking the mag even more but I don't know. Having a character reader/mag feeder plugin installed will help you see the exact decimal values of def/dex/pow/mind. Every time you deposit a mag or go to the lobby, 0.01 is cut off of odd decimals. Depositing and withdrawing the mag without fully exiting bank menus does shave the .01 off.

Original post:
On here, I'm just making a 185 Mind Mag with 15 Def. Past level 50 now so I can easily raise just mind. I've seen a guide to make a 10def/0/5dex/185 mag that's probably quickest (Feeding 76 trifluids at one point?!).

But on Dreamcast I did this and I think this is how...

I'd like my blasts to be Estlla,M&Y,Pilla but for a mind mag like this I think Pilla is impossible so on here I got Golla to probably do most single hit damage to a boss. I always have ranger level a mag to L10 for Estlla. I think Leilla and Farla are the worst blasts. My DC mag is L200 Ushasu, looking like twin spiked shoulder pads 12/0/2/186 with Farla, Mylla&Youlla, Estlla

From the beginning to L35 is the critical part where you have to minimize def and dex raises. At 35-200 you just have to be careful to not raise other stats.

Mag L5-10 Feed nothing but monofluids.
Kalki/Varuna/Vritra L10. Use a character under L40 to feed monofluids and difluids only. Monos only appear sometimes in shop for higher chars. Slower than trifluids but they have a better proportion of mind to other stuff. For a mag with 15 def and 185 mind, stop feeding difluids when dex is close to leveling. For a mag with 12/0/2/186, I probably let dex level twice and then fed only monofluids when it was close to leveling a 3rd time.

(Theoretical stuff or possibilities to try)
I don't know if you can get a 187 mind mag by letting dex level more (or less) for less (or more) def. Difluids are a slightly worse proportion of other stats to Mind than Mono but it's a better proportion of Mind to Def. (5+3 more than 1/2 of 15 while 5 is 1/2 of 10). I'm gonna guess that 12/0/1/187, 11/0/2/187, 10/0/3/187, 9/0/4/187, or 8/0/5/187 are probably not possible. I have no idea if you'd end up with 13/0/1/186 or 14/0/1/185 OR 11/0/3/186 or 12/0/3/185 OR 10/0/4/186 or 11/0/4/185 OR 9/0/5/186 or 10/0/5/185.
(End of theoretical stuff)

If you initially leveled to 10 with a Hunter for Farla, then L35 mind mag will be Vayu. Going from L35 to 50 will be easy. But then going to L50 you might want Estlla instead of Golla, depending if you want to hit more enemies or do more damage to a single one. Any fluids and especially moon atoms give good raises. Just make sure you lower def&dex with monofluids. Watch how much you raise dex with Moons and def with Trifluids. Moons lower def.

Once L35, if it evolved from a Ranger's Kalki to Tapas:
When dex is close to leveling feed Moon Atomizers but it raises def and pow.
When def is close to leveling feed Soul Atomizers but it raises dex and pow.
When pow is close to leveling feed Di or Tri fluids. Di also raises def though and Tri raises def and dex.
Once you've seesawed def, pow, and dex a lot, and two or more of them are close to leveling, feed nothing but monofluids. This will be painfully slow for several levels around 42 to 50.

When nearing L50... (with zero dex, pow takes priority even if it's also zero)
For Ranger Tapas or Hunter Vayu:
If you have more than 0 dex, have a section A Hunter feed it for Golla Blast.
If you have 0 dex, have a Ranger A or Force B feed it for Golla blast.
For Hunter Yayu:
If you have more than 0 dex, have a Hunter B or any Ranger feed it for Estlla Blast.
If you have 0 dex, have a Hunter B feed it for Estlla blast.

Once you have the blasts you want, raise from L50 to 200 using a class/section combination for good mind raises and of course keep the other stats from leveling.

***Quickest for mags with some dex***
*Ila, Soma, Durga*

With dex: Section B with any class

*Next quickest with same good moon raises*
*Apsaras, Varaha, Ushasu, Kumara*
dex: Hunter A, Ranger A
zero dex: Ranger A, Force B

---Crap (lowest gains and moons lower while sols raise)
---Kabanda, Naga, Bana
dex: Force A
zero dex: AllHunters, Ranger B, Force A


Sections A:
Vir, Sky, Purp, Red, Yel
Section B:
Grn, Blue, Pink, Oran, Whit

In conclusion this will be considerably faster if you start the mag with a Hunter for Farla/M&Y/either Estlla or Golla... Or going from L35 to 50 will be really slow and annoying if starting with a Ranger to make a Estlla/M&Y/Golla mag if you really want that combination like I did. Also this will be faster to build a mag with some dex than a mag with zero dex with most characters. My blast combo with 15 def and eventually 185 mind is the slowest to build while my 12/0/2/186 Dreamcast mag with the lesser blast combo would be the fastest without a huge supply of Trifluids.

Been using noZedive13's Mag Guide for evolution, feeding, and lots of info.

Ah, I guess the round number of +5 or +15 def gets cut down to 4 or 14 each banking. Seems it would also help with feeding kalki difluids. Even though you lose 1 mind with the def and dex, 1/15 is a smaller proportion than 1/5 or 1/3. It was excruciatingly slow enough getting to L50 as it is so I'll just be content with what I got. But anyone who does manage this is going to have a pretty rare mag. You could just spread it out over a LOT of gameplay rather than hanging by the bank or going to it every 4 four minutes or so. Thanks for the tip.
 
I made my 15/0/0/185 just fine long ago. I'm trying to recreate my 12/0/2/186 mag I made back on Dreamcast (and have recent screenshots of), but with estlla instead of farla and it doesn't seem to be working. I might end up with 13/0/2/185 or 12/0/3/185 if I'm lucky. I don't know what gives. Fed it nothing but monofluids as plain mag, as kalki difluids until it was close to getting 3 dex then nothing but monos. I don't think I can get it the few more levels to tapas without gaining another def or dex. I wonder if my Dreamcast one got banked a number of times to shave the .01 off the .05 from some monos.

Getting a 15/0/0/185 mag with my instructions works just fine. But looking at feeding charts I can not figure what's going wrong with the 12/0/2/mind mag. Maybe Blue Burst changed the feeding yields a minuscule amount?
 
Argh, that's an awful little change! Anyway, I'm managed to get to L35 Tapas with 13/0/2/20. So the mag can still be 13/0/2/185. The last about 20 monofluids I had to bank between every single one to keep shaving off the .01 def. If I started banking earlier I could have just did it between every 3 monos.
