Xenon

Xenon or Hayato? Why?

Explain to me which one is more fun, which one has higher damage, which one is more expensive to maintain, all of the details please.
One important thing, which does more damage funded/unfunded?
The more detail the better!
Thank You!

I have way more fun with my Hayato... But I've never been one of those kids who just like big numbers (damage... damage what was it again? Sounds like boars? xD) The story, the skills, the voice. Hayato. Plus bossing is boring and repetitive as hell. ^^

[quote=Shadiah]Xenons were probably the best until they got nerfed. Now that the Zero class is out, that is the probably the highest damage w/o funding not to mention you can quest to 180 pretty easily. Also you get weapon points in mirror world which are pretty much free cubes to use on your weapon.[/quote]

too bad the quest double exp cards aren't for sale anymore huh? kinda discourages me from makin one

since we're on the topic of dmg, which class of all classes is best for that? Like if you're a dmg wh0r3, but not that much funding ( or maybe good funding), which class has best dmg?

Guys, it takes litteraly 5 seconds to find these guides which people spent hours to write... I mean c'mon! Also, look in the forum section of the classes you would like to create: there's already many threads like yours.

Can't say Hayato are cheap because they are warriors, %all stat is a pain though. Xenon benefit a loooot more from additive stats, it's easier to get high ranges.

I like hayato better because I actually use my weapon in my hand to fight, at least in fourth job.

[quote=Shadiah]Overall I'd say Xenon simply because you can make a female one and name her BoobyMissile and shoot rockets at snails all day.[/quote]
GMS version allows female hayato creation.

Xenon is far more expensive and stronger.
For whatever reason, most xenon refuse to use pirate gear, even though it's much cheaper. If you went with pirate gear, you'd probably cut your funding costs significantly.

As for fun, that's subjective. Hayato tend to be more input-involved, so if your definition of fun is using many different skills and being more precise, hayato is more fun. If damage = fun, xenon is gonna be your thing.

hayato is more fun, xenon has higher damage, i'm not sure how to answer which is more expensive to maintain tho... xenon is expensive in the sense of getting % all stat, but hayato is expensive in the sense of it's pretty weak.
unfunded, xenon is stronger.
