PVE FAQ
-------

CA or CrA? Either way, she's the notorious killstealing asshole. A very good PvE class with little to no flaw.
Survivability? Check. Nuke? Check. DPS? A few. Debuff? Got something. Clears? Oh look that black kamehameha.
Hurt the mobs while sucking out their MP with variety of deep normals. Spam SAs in gale mode for easy HA-tier damage.
It's extremely easy to get into gale/annihilation mode with her 'dark force' passive.
Please note that overusing blood hit may kill you, causing shit like failing henir's challenge.

1. Skills FAQ

Q : No brutal cutter?
A : Neat buff, but the buff per se isn't very crucial in most PvE situations, as CA relies more on her special actives.

Q : Why injection stigma instead of dark force? Isn't injection geared towards pvp more?
A : First, dark force does shabby damage for 40mp. Second, injection charges gale bar quickly. Third, injection hurts like fuck. It's actually pretty retarded for being 25mp, because it is supposed to be something like metal dust aura, but way better.

Q : Brandish breaker vs Burning phantom?
A : Burning phantom is more useful because it has blackhole-tier suction. Hold BP button for bloodhit, yay for more hits.

Q : Shade vs Blood Cutter?
A : Shade was fairly useful in PvE back when it's a gale skill. It's destruction now, skip shade, and get BC for easy sub 4k% damage. Bloodhit-BC practically refills your HP to the max when used in gale mode.

Q : Why condemnation instead of Judgement? The debuff is good!
A : First, the heal amount from judgement is negligible. Second, judgement's bleeding is not nearly as good as VC's bleeding. Third, you can kill attacking mobs while staggering with condemnation'd stoic. Fourth, with condemnation, you will retain Stoic-strong's patk/matk buff even *after* getting hit. Now that's cool, right?


2. Q : How to manage her oh-so-many-resources?
   A : Chivalry/charging gale bar : xx[x], >>zz(x), >>zz[z], Dread weapon, Injection.
       Chivalry/utilizing gale bar : Blood cutter, blood impact.
       Chivalry/charging annihilation bar : zzz, rushing sword, blood cutter.
       Chivalry/utilizing annihilation bar : Buster, Injection, Dread weapon, >>zz[z].
       Charging awakening gauge : Injection, >>zz[z]. Holy hell you can see how >>zz[z] is that useful. Totes broken, man.

3. Q : Best gears for PVE CA?
   A : Grend 3x / grend 5x for safety. Stick with 3x for more crit and crit dmg bonus. Henir trans set is also viable.

4. Q : Stats for PVE
   A : More than 75% crit. Have at least 22% aspd. Invest the remaining socket to additional damage, she has plenty of multihits.
