Whats the Squishiest class?

I hate playing squishy classes and I hate playing classes with 0% stance. I'm also terrible at this game.
Which is why I'm going to make one on a new world completely unfunded with crappy internet that wont let me use potions and see if your training guides are really worth it.

So tell me guys, what's the squishiest class? No Jett or Mercedes because they have that nice recovery.
Oh and no Beginner classes. Sorry but that will bore me so much. (Henehoes don't last long in the grind zone)

Others who wish to join me on this horribad adventure may do so.
Gunna try this on Scamia so I can at least find a party.
I might film this too actually

Hey guys, once again I'm pointing out that I'm going PURE unfunded. No mesos from the FM all the way to 166.
No empress or Fafnir (lol I don't even have fafnir on my main)
No donations.
No exceptions.

We're going all out with nubbery. 800x600 screen res. It's time that the Basil community really learnt what unfunded is.

@JordanEnz: Oh yes, Evo.. Mobs do hit hard there but meh I take hits at SH/WG and I'm fine after a few. Idk maybe It's just me and I got lucky to be so tanky? I just never experienced HP problems except when playing pirate or archer.

@JordanEnz: I'm not comparing funds at all, I said links and set effects, Empress and RA are very cheap even for unfunded. Also during training my first NL I didn't have auto hp nor stance, just my avoid and that was enough to survive, hell if it comes down to it if he/she makes in Windia i'll pay for pots so they can spam them if needed f3

[quote=melonmel]@Marth are you sure? Kanna seems pretty strong to me, I don't know why.

I'm deciding between Night Lord and Corsair.
But it seems that they have high damage? Maybe coz yall are funded or something.

Also, it seems like my craptop can handle recording maplestory which is good n___n[/quote]

That would be because you've obviously never tried to play an unfunded Kanna at SH. As Ioxiona points out, they're extremely weak unfnded, 20k HP with virtually no physical defense = 2-3hko. Foxfire doesn't even count, it blocks like 3 hits every minute and in SH you get hit 5 times a second.

[quote=melonmel]Ok so Corsair, night lord, mechanic or kanna?

Which one will make me rage the most?[/quote]

Mech or Corsair probably, heaven knows mine would have died several times a day without auto-hp, especially since I still died at least once a day even with it.

NLs have the advantage of evasion skills and high avoidability, though of course the latter is dependent on funding. At 9999 avoid you almost never get hit at SH.

Kannas, probably unsurprisingly, just don't get hit, since most stand on a safe platform or sit in a chair all day while spamming Kishin.

Kanna squishyness is dependent upon funding really. Kannas have a beginner skill than turns MP stats on gears as HP, so they get double HP out of set effects and other gears. Unfunded Kannas could be looking at as low as 20k HP, which is pretty bad, since you can't sustain yourself when training with that little HP. I have 3 set RA, 4 set reinf gollux, and have 50k HP, and almost never use HP pots to heal anymore. Other Kannas have up to 60k to 80k HP, depending on their equips.

The rate at which you kill is also important since they gain 5% HP on a per kill basis. If you aren't funded enough to kill things like monsters at SH quickly enough, then you are going to have a hard time at SH.

Edit: Basically, if you got a kanna with no funds, they're probably the squishiest

I didn't really notice a squishy issue on my Kanna until 19x; anything before that was rather enjoyable, but others may have a different experience.

@4023: Character cards, Links and set effects are all I used, Night Lords can be tanky unless you're not taking advantage of what you have and using links and what not ^^

I have a Mihile and buffed it has very nice defence.

Maybe I should make a mage and just never use magic guard or something?
Actually, I should just never use defensive buffs ahahaha

Well, they have naturally low HP and no stance, so unless you HP washed while it was still possible or you've got HP gear like crazy, NLs don't last very long.

try mechs. they're the class that would look like the least squishy but are disgustingly bad even after revamps to try to get rid of the squishyness.

[quote=FlamyHeavens]Out of my experience
Corsairs hands down
WA is painfully squishy even with her emerald flower
KANNA IS A PAIN IN THE RECTUM SO SQUISHY
NL's, Shads DB's
Phantoms to an extent
MOST ARCHERS (well excluding MM & Mercedes maybe)
Mechs are hideously squishy despite being on a robot[/quote]

shadowers arent squishy, the hell u talking about?

Ok then there's many choices. I need a class that is weak as well in terms of attack. For extra lulz.
Please stop recommending Beginner. I already said no beginners.

I'd have to say that even though Mechanics look like tanks, they're more of a bucket since they kick it so often. </3

Beginner (And the other starting classes like citizen and nobless).
The only class so squishy you need to put AP into HP just to survive a single hit in later levels.

Honestly considering join you because as a Pally vet, I'm spoiled rotten by our defense.
I need to build up a tolerance for using potions and getting pushed by attacks.
