Mikhails Similarities Compilation

---Things to know about Mihile/Mikhail--
Mihile is considered a [b]CYGNUS KNIGHT[/b] character.
This means he gains [b]10% exp[/b] at every level up until 120.
Unless my research is wrong, he can get the Cygnus Mounts at level 50/100/120 just like the regular Cygnus.
When he reaches level 120 he CAN make an Ultimate Adventurer by doing the Peridot quests.
His character card is a Cygnus card that adds % Weapon Def.

[quote=WhinyBaby]But why should I make a Dawn Warrior if Mihile is out?[/quote]
Mihile was a [b]limited time only[/b] character in KMS. He'll most likely disappear from creation when we get to later content.

---First Job---
[b]HP Increase: Increase your max HP by 20% permanently. (max level: 10)[/b]
This is your warrior birth right. Every warrior deserves high HP.

[b]Soul Shield: Amplify the power of the Soul Shield to boost your defense and magic defense by 200. (max level: 15)[/b]
Comparable to Iron Body--something both Explorer Warriors and Dawn Warriors share.

[b]Soul Agility: Permanently increase accuracy by 200, speed by 25, and jump by 20.(max level: 10)[/b]
Exact same passive as Demon Slayer's "Shadow Swiftness".

[b]Soul Jump: Using the power of Soul, jump once again while in the air. As the skill level increase, the distance moved will increase. (max level: 10)[/b]
Cross-class Flash Jumping. Whee.

[b]Soul Blade: Give shape to Soul and throw it at up to 5 enemies for 340% damage. (max level: 20)[/b]
Everyone's favorite 2nd-job Dawn Warrior skill! It's actially slightly weaker than the DW's version. But only by 30%. Still quite OP for a 1st job skill.

----Second Job----
[b]Physical Training: Permanently increase your STR and DEX by 30. (max level: 10)[/b]
Once again a "Common Warrior" skill.

[b]Sword Mastery: Permanently increase your mastery over the one-handed sword by 50% as well as your accuracy by 120. (max level: 20)[/b]
Everyone's gotta have mastery, otherwise we'd be beginners.

[b]Final Attack: There is a 40% chance to add an extra 150% damage attack when using attack skills. Must be using a sword. (prerequisite: level 3 Sword Mastery) (max level: 20)[/b]
Common Warrior skill.

[b]Sword Booster: For 200 seconds, increase the speed of your sword by 2 stages. (prerequisite: level 5 Sword Mastery) (max level: 20)[/b]
And more common warrior!

[b]Rage: For 155 seconds, increase the weapon attack of you and your party by 30. (max level: 20)[/b]
Your first thought is "OMG YOU STOLE FROM FIGHTER!". But remember how Dawn Warrior's also have this? Yup. It's the Dawn Warrior animation, too. Do Fighters have it? Oh, of course. But it's already BEEN stolen by Dawn Warriors. It should have been expected.

[b]Soul Driver: Use Soul's power to attack up to 6 enemies for 145% damage 4 times. (max level: 20)[/b]
Hey look, it's a 3rd job Dawn Warrior's Troll Driver but weaker! Just like Soul Blade in 1st job, it's a full 35% weaker. And since it's four hits, that technically makes it 140% weaker per-cast than the DW/UA version. Still, it's a signature skill of the Dawn Warriors, it should have been expected.

[b]Shining Chase: A sword of light is pointed at the enemy and is rushed towards them, hitting 380% damage on up to 6 enemies pushing them back. (max level: 20)[/b]
A re-tweaking of the cross-class "Rush" variations. It doesn't seem to be directly copy-pasted. It's also stronger than Warrior-Rush and with a much lower mob-count.

----Third Job----
[b]Self Recovery: Every four seconds you will recover an extra 150 HP and 90 MP. This effect works during battle. (max level: 30)[/b]
A better version of Self Recovery that both Saders and Dawn Warrior's share.

[b]Intention: Permanently increase your strength by 40 and increase your attacking speed by one stage. (max level: 20)[/b]
Unique passive time? Could be a splicing of Mercedes'"Elven Grace" with Phantom's "Dexterous Training", but it's unique enough that you'd be really reaching deep for insults to complain.

[b]Soul Attack: When attacking an enemy inflicted with a status, increase your damage and critical chance by 20%. (max level: 20)[/b]
This is what happens if you increased the level cap of Demon Slayer's "Insult to Injury" to level 20.

[b]Soul Charge: For 300 seconds, charge your sword with power and increase your damage by 30%. (max level: 10)[/b]
Exact same as Dawn Warrior's "Soul Charge." Expected.

[b]Soul Endure: For 180 seconds, increase your defense by 100%, and your resistance to elements and statuses by 60%. (max level: 20)[/b]
Mikhail borrows another Demon Slayer skill "Black-Hearted Strength" stat-for-stat.

[b]Magic Crash: When used, there is a 100% chance that monsters around you will not be able to use buffs for 20 seconds. There is a cooldown of 60 seconds. (max level: 20)[/b]
Common Warrior Skill not worth crying about.

[b]Soul Slash: Quickly attack up to 4 enemies in front of you for 230% damage 3 times, with a 10% chance to stun for 4 seconds. (max level: 20)[/b]
Look kids! It's "Intrepid Slash"! Oh wait, no it's not. It has the damage of Lv 16 "Intrepid Slash" with a little 10% chance to Stun. 690% damage total. Except in the places where Brandish enjoys it's 20% Def ignore--it makes it look bad--and of course, gets trumphed by a Hero with Intrepid.

[b]Shining Buster: Release light to attack up to 6 enemies in front of you for 270% damage 3 times. (max level: 20)[/b]
Here it is, boys and girls, your first laser skill. Im going to cover laser skills at the end of the comparison.

----Fourth Job----
[b]Combat Mastery : When attacking monsters, 40% defense is ignored. (max level: 10)[/b]
This is the first copy-paste Hero-only skill that Mikhail has.

[b]Advanced Sword Mastery: Increase your mastery over the sword to 70%, as well as minimum critical damage by 15% and attack by 30. (prerequisite: level 20 Sword Mastery) (max level: 30)[/b]
Compare it to any other classes' "Advanced Mastery". Once again another similarity Mikhail has with Demon Slayer.

[b]Advanced Final Attack: Increases your attack by 30, accuracy by 10%, chance to activate Final Attack to 60%, and Final Attack's damage to 250% damage, Final Attack now hits twice. (prerequisite: level 20 Final Attack) (max level: 30)[/b]
OMG COPY HEROES AGAIN might be your first thought, but remember that other classes DO have AFA.

[b]Advanced Soul Shield: Improve the Soul Shield and permanently decrease damage taken by 20%. (prerequisite: level 15 Soul Shield) (max level: 30)[/b]
It's Achilles/Obsidian Skin. Remember when every warrior used to have it? Good times.

[b]Stance: For 300 seconds, there is a 95% chance that you will not be knocked back by enemies' attacks. (max level: 30)[/b]
Common Warrior Skill

[b] Maple Warrior: Increases you and your party's stats by 15% for 900 seconds. (max level: 30)[/b]
Common Fourth Job Skill

[b]Soul Rage: For 240 seconds, concentrate your attacks on one enemy and increase your damage by 60%, critical rate by 20%, minimum critical damage by 15%. All skills will hit only one monster while this skill is active. There is a cooldown of 300 seconds. (max level: 30)[/b]
Enrage without the need of orbs.

[b]Soul Assault: Attack an enemy in front of you for 290% damage four times with Soul imbued swords with a 10% chance to stun the enemy for 6 seconds. The last hit of Soul Assault will always be a critical. (max level: 30)[/b]
I can't think of a skill like this one at all. The last hit Crit is similar to Assassinate but the rest of the skill is completely different.

[b]Shining Blast: Shoot a strong light in front of you to attack up to 6 enemies for 380% damage four times. (max level: 30)[/b]
LAYZOR TIME

----A comparison of Pirate-Lasers versus Mikhail's Lasers----
Cannoneer's "Cannon Bazooka" is 600% twice to 6 enemies. or 1200% to 6.
Mech's "Laser Shot" is 500% three times to 8 enemies. or 1500% to 8--however you've gotta be in Tank Mode.
Bucc's "Bucc Blast" is 550% four times to 10 enemies or 2200% to 10--however you've gotta be Energy Charged.

Mikhail's "Shining Buster" is 270% damage three times to 6 enemies. or 810% to 6.
Mikhail's "Shining Blast" is 380% damage four times to 6 enemies. or 1520% to 6.

Slightly stronger than Mech's Laser, lower mob count, no "You have to be in "Blank" mode.
Dont forget that Cannons, Guns, and Knuckles have the best weapon multipliers in the game.
Mikhail's lasers are relatively balanced and dont just copy-paste from another pirate.

As far as speed:
[quote=iVege] Shining Buster > Laser Shot > Shining Blast > Cannon Bazooka > Buccaneer Blast [/quote]

Thank you for reading, I hope those of you who decide to play Mikhail can look past his similarities and enjoy him as much as I will be.
