Tips on Improving range?

So since this primed heart will take a while to get is there a better way to improve my range cost efficiency wise?
Here are my equips: http://imgur.com/a/t0EBS

#1 do the bonus pots on your weapon, emblem, and secondary. strive for 21% m att.
#2 strive for 10 stars on your tyrants
#3 rescroll your heart either with +9 spell traces or primes
#4 put a boss neb on your fan
#5 you have legendary ia. try for crit instead of boss so you have 100% without the ring. then you could replace it with a ring for more int. the 5% min crit you would lose would be easily replaced by a ring with 9-12% int. It's not a huge hit and you'd come out with more crit than you have now. Crit would be your biggest increase, but this is #5 on the list because inner ability has such horrible odds and can really waste your funds if you aren't lucky.

You have 274% boss which isn't overly excessive. After all these changes, even losing your current ia, your final %boss would still be 279% or 274% depending which neb you opt to get.

The crit ring gives me more range in which I am able to hit more crit lines than normal lines, I just soloed hellux doing a bunch of 30m clean lines instead of consistent 50m crits but yea if I had better crit it would be better I agree

@msnite there's no way the crit ring gives you more RANGE WAT LOL.

i do understand using the crit ring in place of it though, i would too if i were you. to improve your crit, i honestly think you have a better chance getting a crit magnificent soul (doesnt have to be magnus if your funds dont allow it) than you are to get 30% crit inner. ive used endless circulators trying to get that line T^T. also, you could maybe kill your warrior deck and get an S/SS marksman.

anyways, for the next steps to improve your damage, i'd actually just get the 2-10 place tower emblem (free too) and get your tyrants all starred up c: you can try to get more crit after

Main reason why I am using the crit ring is because it gives me more range than my 18% perfected cracked one, also i have low crit rate without it

This is what happens to my stats with cracked ring on (clean): http://imgur.com/nnvrZVL

as you can see, min crit went down by 5% and the crit chance went down by 15% even though int went up to 17k

@msnite nooo, tyrants would give you a much bigger boost for less mesos/nx spent.
as for the ring, if you're trying to be cost efficient, get a cracked ring. LGRs don't provide a noticeable stat boost whatsoever

@jenno cubing 21%+ int > tyrants 10 stars? or vice versa? And since you saw that im using bt crit, that means replace it with lgr?

I'd prioritize getting your tyrants to 10 stars each and recubing the bpot of your emblem to get more %m.attack, and dont even bother getting LGR, your rings are fine (unless you want to replace your 15% unique for 21%+ legendary)

EDIT: oops didnt see the crit ring

here's my recollection from the stuff you guys told me:
1st: get that primed heart
2nd: tyrants 10 stars/cubing uni to leg, bpot cube emblem and sw fan (not sure yet, hard getting 2 lines matk)
3rd: replace crit ring with lgr, get primed solid
4th: rescroll stuff

In the meantime: zero to 200
save up a lot of honor for 30% crit rate, bt to 210, phan to 210 eventually

@siaty: Even so, it's completely based on luck. If NX cost isn't an issue, then sure, circulators are definitely the way to go. If paying for them becomes an issue and starts becoming detrimental to the improvement of other things, it might be a better idea to work at it slowly (and for free) than spend that NX on it.

Primed solid > Primed Scarlet because of one more slot. I use LGR, superior, reinforce and solid rings.

PS: I'm going to sleep, hf

@siaty Are scarlet rings even worth replacing for a solid ring? Even a primed scarlet doesn't give matk like solid so best ring set for be sup, reinforced, solid, lgr?

The best ring would be LGR and I guess a marvel machine should come sometimes (more LGRs will be in the FM). The second choice would be a scarlet ring.

For cubing, I always want the best potential possible on the weapon, secondary and emblem first. If you want to run tower of oz weekly and get in the position 2-10, you can get a nice emblem that gives like 40% ignore def and 70% boss (better than your emblem and free). For the weapon and secondary, you want %boss/%matk on your first fan and only %matk on the second fan. It seems fine here. If you want more %int, make sure to get a new ring and cube your SW face/eyes first because it's level 160 and you can get high % easily.

@ChickenSoul Circulators in cash shop give maximum stats for the legendary line. I know it cost NX, but if this person gets % critical rate, it will be at 30% and not lower.

For your link skills, I'd recommend picking up the Zero one, since it doesn't look like you have it. If you've got the patience, training some of the better links with level 3 skills to 210 is also a bit of a boost.

On the cubing side, I'm with siaty. It might be in your best interest to recube the bonus on your emblem and SW fan, too. For inner ability, farm honor medals and lock your legendary tier instead of burning potential cube money on circulators. It'll take you longer, but that NX would be going to better use elsewhere (speaking cost-efficiency-wise; if you don't mind spending money on circulators, then have at it).

As a bit of a side note, you don't need to be hitting cap to solo CV as a kanna. With some practice, it should be possible with less.

@siaty What about the priority of cubing? getting lgr?
Yea i have switch gloves for SE (nebbed), currently need to get it to leg for SI, also have DHB, DCO, working on making DAB hat

Character cards are fine even if the mage/warrior set is pointless. As for link skills, you should get a zero link skill for the %ignore pdr and a Jett link skill if you can afford it (cost NX). You can get up to 35matk and 35 int with your Jett core. If you need a bit more % critical rate, you should consider to level up your phantom and/or beast tamer to level 210.

Priority for efficiency: Tyrant to 10 stars, 30% critical rate inner ability ( + get a new ring), decent SE neb on your tyrant gloves (unless you have some switch gloves) and link skills.

Aim for 100% critical rate. It's a must

@siaty: http://imgur.com/3ScUQyM links
As for cards I have 3 rank S sets including Mage (Kanna SS, lumi S, BT S), warrior (DA S, DS S, Hayato S), and pirate sets (Xenon S, Shade S, Cannoneer S)

Still need Zero link maxed (MUST), cannoneer lv 2, shade lv 2 (possibly), kinesis lv 2(eventually), kaiser lv 2, mercedes lv 2 (possibly) replacing hayato and shade

Also what would you consider in order of priority? I know heart for sure is #1 what would be 2nd and 3rd priority? etc.

Don't forget character cards and link skills. It's a "free" way (time consuming) to get more range and to do more stable damage.

rerolled that inner so many times with circulators (too many to count), I couldn't get 30% crit no matter how hard I tried sadly

Android heart for sure like you said, but I would recommend to get your tyrant equips to 10 stars each and get more %int nebs.

If you want to cube, get legendary tier on your SW face, SW eyes and on your badge for more %int.

Also, you can reconsider to scroll again your eyes/face and CRA armors with 30% spell traces at minimum. If you can afford prime scrolls, it will be even better.

Inner ability: Do you need that 20% boss? You can maybe consider 30% critical rate and get a new ring for more int, %int and attack.

Good luck!

We all know that 2-2 is visual cap, I need to be able to hit cap on cvel in order to solo him which is what I am currently aiming for

"Improving range" *2m~2m* Welp thats not really possible. The only actual thing you could do is increase attack speed, get all decent skills if you dont already have them, and increase your main stat Maybe max out crit if you dont have all link skills or character cards for it.
