Xenon Question Stats
Hey guys,
I've been looking through threads and I'm not sure which ones are right.
So Xenon needs STR,DEX and LUK.
Every Xenon I've seen on youtube have an equal amount of base STR, DEX and LUK.
My question is, can I pump all my AP on LUK considering I'm a thief player and so have a lot of %LUK equips.
I'm pretty sure I can get the stat bonus of up to the 3rd job Multilateral, which is only 10% damage, but I might be able to manage enough STR and DEX for the last Multilateral skill.
Thanks guys.
Edit: I'm playing a Phantom currently, and it has 138 STR and 318 DEX. So with the Xenon skills that give me STR and DEX, and including the Beginner Hyper skills, I'm sure I have 260 STR and DEX for my last multilateral right?

@GunUser "Xenon has 3 main stats (STR, DEX and LUK). If you wear 3% STR, it would be distributed evenly and become 1% STR, 1% DEX, and 1% LUK." by AyumiLove.net
If she already played that class, she probably said that by self experience. I don't think she would say something like that in her website without checking before..
I find it weird that Xenon turns into a ghost when he dies. As if robots have souls...
@Maliphite: I can pretty much guarantee it works the way I and Momijii said it does.
[quote=MesosNeedMe]check out Malphite's link to ayumi's site. That means my %LUK will be divided into STR, DEX and LUK right?
So wouldn't that be equal to distributing on one stat? Since I need STR, DEX and LUK, and my %LUK will be distributed evenly, that's like pumping %LUK into a Phantom character right? Because it's pumping it into their primary skill that raises damage. So it would be the same in a way right? Just that % ALL would triple my % stat equips.[/quote]
6% LUK raises your damage by the same amount as 6% STR or 6% DEX would. However 6% LUK does not divide across STR and DEX, it only changes your LUK. %all would be the best since it raises all of your main stats, however %all is more expensive and harder to cube for.
Just use what you have for gear. Unless you're trying for #1 Xenon NA (which you probably won't be), you're better off that way.
@Maliphite: Ayumilove is known for proliferating both bad and incorrect information.
@maliphite: that isn't the way she worded it however and its spreading incorrect information see the OP's post for my point..
@MesosNeedMe: [b]No.[/b] % luk is and will always be % luk, same goes for dex or str. What Ayumi was probably trying to say in her guide is that because xenons base stats are kept even (to activate all the multilateral skills) that 3% luk is equivalent to having 1% str, 1% dex, 1% luk. It does [b]NOT[/b] mean that your 3% luk will somehow magically change into two other stats and evenly distribute to give you the damage you would have if you had 3% all stat over 3% luk.
Thus the only way to get your stats evenly distributed is to have either % all stat, or all 3 of xenons stats on 1 item (aka 3% str, 3% luk, 3% dex)
[quote=Maliphite]@Momijii ya thats what she meant. @MesosNeedMe check the guide bro[/quote]

@MesosNeedMe: it's most likely to be released in the summer so around July
you have months don't worry, relax and be patient when merching for all stats% gears
[quote=screwriod]@MesosNeedMe: it's all up to you, the multilateral skill is worth it, even the link skill too[/quote]
How much time do I have around? 3 months before it comes out?
Time to start merching soon... My god... I'm SO bummed out to find out... at least I found out before it's too late.
[quote=Maliphite]@GunUser read xenon notes section at http://ayumilove.net/maplestory-xenon-skill-build-guide/[/quote]
The only way that could be right is if she meant that 3% STR would effectively be equivalent to 1% STR, 1% DEX, and 1% LUK. That is to say, they all add damage equally.
@MesosNeedMe: it's all up to you, the multilateral skill is worth it, even the link skill too
[quote=Maliphite]i believe on ayumilove's guide this was said (i cant find the guide atm): for example, pretend ur helm has 3% str, dex, OR luk. It would then be distributed to 1% dex, 1% str, 1% luk.[/quote]
This is VERY false, do not believe this.
[quote=MesosNeedMe]% all stats is expensive... I'm gonna have to sell all of the gear I've taken years to obtain just to get less gear considering the difference in prices ):
Is it worth the 20% damage?[/quote]
Honestly If you don't plan to go % all stats on Xenon, I wouldn't make one.
You'd be crippling yourself using only one stat, getting 1/3 of the damage you could have
[quote=screwriod]if you go pure stat,you lose % of your Dmg bro, yeah I know big disappointment but that's how it is you need all stats% to be strong
you won't have a noob xenon but just get all stats% gears[/quote]

[quote=MesosNeedMe]Wow that completely ruined my plans...
So what would happen if I distribute my STR DEX and LUK but I pump all my equips into %LUK?
Would I have a noob Xenon? -_-
Man this really blows...[/quote]

[quote=McClutch]Multilateral only works with base stat.
meaning you need 330 str/dex/luk to get the last multilateral.
sell ur %luk and buy %all.[/quote]
Wow that completely ruined my plans...

you need 3 stat to balance them out, they give benefiticial boost in Dmg, it's good to get all stats% gears they are hard to find, and they can be expensive also..
[quote=MesosNeedMe]Wait, so even equips like HTP won't count? Damn...[/quote]
Nope, not towards the multilateral bonuses!
"Xenon is also the first character to use three main stats, STR, DEX, and LUK. In each job advancement, he has a skill called Multilateral which gives him bonuses for each of these stats. However, this skill only takes into account base stats, not stats from equipment or skills."

[quote=ModerateTrader]The multilateral only applies to the raw stats being applied.[/quote]
Wait, so even equips like HTP won't count? Damn...
The multilateral only applies to the raw stats being applied.
You need equal amount of base str, dex, and luk to get multilateral.
