Reboot Server: Mercedes

Finally got some time enjoying the feels to be noob again.

It's great and I'm quite proud of the skill kit we have.

Currently lv 153 and a buffed range of 71k. I've only got 2 piece of pensalirs at 10 star (one is my dbg) so that's a pretty good standing imo. [Sample damage: http://i.imgur.com/iR6Vtp4.jpg]

Going to leave notes of possibly useful information as I go.

**Bossing:**
Zakum: Pretty easy, but worth noting to start from the right arms first and snipe the left arms from the right side of Zakum to avoid being blinded.

Hilla: I was able to solo her at late lv 14x in 7 minutes, comes down to 5minutes the moment you hit 150. I'm not sure if this is a thing in the actual servers too but the DR timing is slow, so you can definitely stop casting after you see the dr animation.

Easy Magnus: This takes ages but do-able with a lot of time and no deaths. Had a go at 14x and I only had 6minutes on the timer left. (God knows how long I took...). Rewards are entirely not worth it. :x

**General:**
Monsters hurt: It's good to be reminded what pot burn is. If you want to cut down on pot usage, it's good to use Mercedes' skill set to its full potential. Things like:

- Rising rush(key down) + Aerial Barrage Keeps you in an i-frame. Link the end of barrage with Leap tornado with some extra damage if you don't mind getting hit a bit. (Very useful for avoiding some boss attacks)

- Cooldown cutting with Leap Tornado: Especially useful after Lightning Edge. The i-frame in lighting edge (note: doesn't let you go through a lotus laser btw) allows you to avoid damage and status effects at Zakum (at least from my experience) so if the rock is on weapon cancel spam back and forth through zakum to avoid using all cures while waiting for it to debuff.

This is actually useful for training too. You can LE delay cancel back and through mobs to avoid getting hit by their attack animation. Just be wary of where you land though. You do get hit at the end.

- Rolling Moonsault: Because of the new cooldown, I would avoid using this skill unless required. Typical use would be for more air-time. Use after SR or the RR+LE combo.

- SR: Currently can be used in mid-air.

NX covers: What... Most of them don't even cover DBGs. The fact that there's no permanent option is already disappointing, but only one or two are able to cover my ugly dbgs ? Not happy at all

Easy Magnus drops nova equips. That is definitely worth it.

@wolfpak: I star forced my lv 120 eqps to 11 then xfer hammered to 130 star force that to 11 then to 140.

This way you save a bit of meso compared to star forcing a 140 eqp from scratch. Most of my meso is from the meso bags you get from the reboot box.

How do you get so much money to Star Force your equips so much @_@

@elufu: Damage Range Guide. For example, the video link does one but instead with screenshots it would be a lot easier.

@rianael: Range guide? as in equipment?

Reboot is pretty simple in terms of equipment, since you don't have any scrolling to do.

Hey, @elufu I have a request. Would it be possible for you to do a Merc range guide video? From 10k~100k - [your max range]. If a video is a bit troublesome, screenshots placed in your guide would be a great alternative.
