TRAITS
Stout Servant

Adds 5 Accuracy, Ranged Accuracy, and Evasion and 5 MDB per merit level.
Optimization

HEAD
: useful for mighty strikes | FRAME
: not useful
Fire 2 Wind 2 Ltng 2 Light 0 | Fire 3 Wind 3 Ltng 3 Light 3
Ice 2 Earth 2 Water 2 Dark 0 | Ice 3 Earth 3 Water 3 Dark 3
BIO first frame you get. first frame you stop using, arround level 10. Melee's slow, casts low tier spells, has very little MP, poor AI thresholds, overall a worthless puppet for anyone actually using pup seriously.
SPELLS learns its last useful spell at 50 (cure IV) two levels after the mage frames learn it.
learns addle at 92 but there is nothing to say there.
WEAPONSKILLS
USES lol
VALOR EDGE
HEAD
useful for invincible. or running up to hit things FRAME
grants shield abilities. lots of HP
Fire 3 Wind 2 Ltng 2 Light 2 | Fire 4 Wind 3 Ltng 3 Light 3
Ice 0 Earth 3 Water 0 Dark 0 | Ice 2 Earth 4 Water 3 Dark 2
BIO melee frame. used to tank things, or annoy things. master of ballista. with the amount of pet haste available now, turbo charger is less crucial in auto builds. Turbo can still make your puppet amazing, but if it refuses to drop for you, there are options to gear around it.
Valor Edge benefits most from the tank sets, and hybrid master/pet sets. probably the most gear intensive puppet, and i would argue, the puppet that benefits the most from a mythic aftermath. if its just meleeing, one of the lesser maneuver intensive frames.
best maneuvers: thunder, earth, wind (with turbo charger)
SPELLS -NONE
WEAPON SKILLS-----trigger----------skill level requireed
Chimera Ripper........fire........0
if this weapon skill comes out, you screwed up somewhere (too many fire maneuvers)
String Clipper.......thunder.......0
Cannibal Blade .........dark......150
Converts damage to HP. Does not generate enmity. Completely bypasses defense/evasion.
deals a static amount of damage. useful for staying alive
Bone Crusher...........light.......245
Stuns target.
semi useful if it times this right
String Shredder .....thunder.....324
Delivers a twofold attack. Critical hit rate varies with TP.
VE's best ws
USES tanking, kiting, holding, sacrificing

Ice 0 Earth 0 Water 2 Dark 0 | Ice 2 Earth 3 Water 3 Dark 2
BIO highest sustained damage frame.hardest to skill up but best payout in the end. sharpshot will destroy enemies and is reason alone to play the job.
a definitive glass cannon. damage per ranged attack is enormous. this frame requires constant attention to reach its potential though. to maximize this puppet, you would do well to not melee, based on the dps loss it consumes. you can deploy it in melee range, or set VE head so it will melee for TP while you punch things, but that is still far inferior too maneuver spam for this frame.
Favored maneuver:wind, wind, more wind, thunder on occasion, followed by wind.
SPELLS -NONE
WEAPONSKILLS
Arcuballista Fire...........................................0
Daze Thunder,,,,,,,,,, Stuns target.................150
usually can be an on demand stun
Armor Piercer Dark..............Ignores target's defense....245
Armor Shatterer Wind........... Delivers a fourfold attack....324
Additional effect: Weakens defense
Additional effect duration varies with TP.
best weapon skill of any automaton.
USES killing things fast. ranged fights, low hate threshold fights.
