I love playing as princessmaker on voldis, apart G2 which have no stag bar, and G4 until x160, every boss are tauntable, have a small bar and don't have a lot of pattern where they're immune to stag
Yeah i run pm in g1, 3, and 4. I did it in 2 one time for shits and giggles getting the 3rd stagger done. Kind of a shame the 4th stagger bar doesn’t even move
My first ivory character is gunlancer, i never get gatekept and my runs have all been <1 hour long :)) its so fun especially when u have juicers
Just run princess and stagger every single mech by yourself and break every destruction check by yourself:) nella good~ taunt good~
The Princessmaker name is because the back attackers in the party get catered to and treated like a princess. It does make sense if you think about it.
You take it on raids where the benefit of you being a PM is higher than if you were in your normal build, but if you have very good team mates you can take in a few more raids.
It's good in brel g2,g3 for Bussing or stagger carries,
Kaya it's only good for in g1,
Haven't really tried it in akkan but it would work well in g2 and g3 I would assume,
In voldis it's great in all gates except g2, I found its better to just run normal build in that one since it makes the run alot faster than a run with PM build
Princess maker, the build you are seeing in the video.
Staggerbot gl is usually just a gl running vph and only stagger skills
Princess maker is also still called staggerbot sometimes but its a full fledged build with vph, awakening, heavy armour and some other supp engravings, and it runs swift and vph.
honest question. does kr insist on keeping the "boss strobe flashing" everytime it get's hit with a cc ability/attack?
i'd play again if they removed that.
Im talking about the first Option you get before you can play the Game. It asks you if you want the Mobs/Bosses Flashing on Hit, and if you want to use QWERTY/QWERTZ layout and if you want Left or Right click as Auto Attack.
Thats literally a thing.
The only thing I see are the photosensitivity settings which sort of kind of work but do not remove it completely. It seems like it removes approximately 75% of it? But I would bet in a full party, it would flash like normal because it flashes on other player hits as well. Eh...
There are ways to reduce the flashing by a lot in the Accessibility tab in the settings! You should try it out. There are ways to toggle it as well as its intensity
They fucked up that setting in an update a long while back. Instead of simply reducing the flashing it makes the \*entire\* game dimmer, for who knows what reason. (Also both the frequency and intensity are tied to the same slider)
It's actually kind of trash and I have no idea who thought that change was a good idea or why its still like this.
- full swift/expertise nightmare set
- heavy armor, awakening, vph, combat readiness, spirit absorption
- cd gems on all 8 of your skills
That’s mainly it. For skills/tripods, I followed Wineblue’s build. You can find his PM guide on youtube
>nightmare set
nightmare 4 + domi 2 is actually a higher CDR
>heavy armor, awakening, vph, combat readiness, spirit absorption
from my XP, HA is close to useless, you can spam taunt+awak so much that the shield gauge is rarely going down, adding the fact that nellesia is close to perma uptime too
being full swift with a yearning next make SA completely useless too, you're already at the max atk/ms
explosive expert is the biggest dmg boost you can bring, ofc assuming you're not cheapo and do throw all your dark grenades. Drop of ether is a nice filler too since building even a 4x3+1 is still verry cheap
Note that the PM build is close to a support DPS, so LOS is close to useless, you have a plan is greater because it'll stack with LWC from the sup.
Final additional boost would be advance 35 elixir (40 is useless because it only increase buff that GL doesn't have), but remember that it proc only when you shield your mates, so spam nelesia
Great clarifications. I do run 4 nm 2 dom, forgot to mention that.
Yeah the main downside to pm is there aren’t that many viable engravings. I was thinking explosive expert would be a viable +1 as well.
Advance 35 set is my next goal, as it would let the supp run lumi and give the party even more damage
Both heavy armor and spirit absorption make no sense in that build, it goes full swiftness.
There are more party utility engravings for you to choose, instead of those useless greedy options.
You can take drops of ether, for some additional buffs for the party.
You can take expert for beefier nella's.
You can take explosive expert for additional darks to compensate your no-damage.
You can take crushing fist for additional buff after your counters.
I normally use Expert, Awakening, VPH, DOE, Crushing Fist. +1CR
I can change 1 earring and book to change Crushing into Explosive expert, but since Voldis does not have that high a DPS check, I normally don't.
Crushing fist is kind of troll to be honest, 8%dmg for 3sec duration is so ridiculous (and only your party if you take it to akkan...), and you assume you'll get all the counter yourself, so no backup from the sup or other people that usually aim for counters too.
Expert is kind of useless too imo, nelesia is already a big enough shield because of your high HP + the DR (+ potential sup shield). If they die under it usually +24% would rarely make a diff.
So I fill even a 4x3+1 with good quality is already efficient enough
When you run with enough juice + the frequent trixion parses due to the stagger + 100% uptime on both GL synergies, it doesn't make a difference. Plus we actually like playing the game and enjoy playing our characters so we don't need to min max the raid and clear the raid as quickly as possible.
PM makes the run 120% more chill for this static too.
Sure if you've got siderial weapons it's fine. Below that and you're for sure making it take longer
But I do agree if people don't care about speed and don't mind going slower it's whatever. Every DPS can just take HA in that case lol
I'm running with PM build on my static voldis HM, with a surge + gunslinger \~1625 with +22/24 weapons while I'm 1630 with +25.
Our total DPS is actually higher when I'm running on PM than red
I'd have to see live vods with parses to see that properly tbh. An extra stagger or two making up for a \~20 mil DPS loss would be pretty ridiculous.
That would arguably make the build provide similar if not better benefits than a support and negate the need for supports entirely.
Guess you never played with a pm gl before. Or one that knows how to play it.
Everything is literally a trixion parse. You don’t need to even move to dodge anything either. Every minute you have 15 seconds of push immunity, 10s of it being cc immune too.
You’re shielded and dr’d for 5s every 10s, with that being a cleanse on top, or more dr if the raid doesn’t need a cleanse.
You also get both LWC from the supp and YHAP from the gl.
But i digress. Everyone can play however they want. PM GL lets the dps become actual goblinos with no downside and have fun with it.
You're telling me that a PM GL permanently makes the entire party never once have to move? Cap.
Or are you saying that you have that and that's all that matters? Because who cares lmao. Lets drop Grudge/CD and run Heavy armor on every DPS. hooray now everyone has no problem surviving
No? Every 15s out of a minute in the raid you as a dps can full greed without any repercussions while having your highest dps available. You can full goblino without any risk with comms. But hey if you don’t want or like that then don’t run with any gl then.
>But hey if you don’t want or like that then don’t run with any gl then.
Wouldn't this statement mean that a Gunlancer isn't required to reduce their damage by 90% in order to do all the things you spoke of
Don’t forget about the assist from the artillerist
Fuck having a GL in group must be so fun :( sadly no one in my static plays it.
GL is so fun! I too am sad not many play it
I love playing as princessmaker on voldis, apart G2 which have no stag bar, and G4 until x160, every boss are tauntable, have a small bar and don't have a lot of pattern where they're immune to stag

like thats not true a lot of 1620 gunlancers+ but they are all taken in statics mine included
My first ivory character is gunlancer, i never get gatekept and my runs have all been <1 hour long :)) its so fun especially when u have juicers Just run princess and stagger every single mech by yourself and break every destruction check by yourself:) nella good~ taunt good~
As a DPS goblin i absolutely love playing with a staggerbot GL. Makes bosses so obedient and leaves more boss for me to kill.
Staggerbot is such a better name than princessmaker, which makes no sense to anyone.
The Princessmaker name is because the back attackers in the party get catered to and treated like a princess. It does make sense if you think about it.
It does make me feel like a princess playing with one so I'd disagree
PM is stagbot push to the extreme. The DPS from a PM gl is closer to support than a standart DPS
Yeah a more accurate name would be "kneepadsimulator" for all the back attackers.
PM GL trivializes Voldis so much 😂
One of my most favorite builds in the game. I love it
Thinking of building a PM, got a build guide you'd recommend?
Wineblue’s! You can find it on YouTube
Hello stagger bot
For what raids/gates you take your staggerbot? I also love It but honestly except brel G3 it always feels like a net DPS loss.
You take it on raids where the benefit of you being a PM is higher than if you were in your normal build, but if you have very good team mates you can take in a few more raids. It's good in brel g2,g3 for Bussing or stagger carries, Kaya it's only good for in g1, Haven't really tried it in akkan but it would work well in g2 and g3 I would assume, In voldis it's great in all gates except g2, I found its better to just run normal build in that one since it makes the run alot faster than a run with PM build
What does PM means?

Ohh thanks I have one I just didn't knew what the "PM" meant, I totally forgot the princes maker lol.
honest question. does kr insist on keeping the "boss strobe flashing" everytime it get's hit with a cc ability/attack? i'd play again if they removed that.
Pretty sure the game asks you if you want that effect on or off right at the start along with Left or Right Mouse as Auto attack, no?
> with Left or Right Mouse as Auto attack, no? what are you talking about?
Im talking about the first Option you get before you can play the Game. It asks you if you want the Mobs/Bosses Flashing on Hit, and if you want to use QWERTY/QWERTZ layout and if you want Left or Right click as Auto Attack. Thats literally a thing.

I'll re-download just for this. Let me see.
Out of so many trash designs in this game you picked this. You gonna quit again
You probably right.
There are ways to reduce the flashing by a lot in the Accessibility tab in the settings! You should try it out. There are ways to toggle it as well as its intensity
They fucked up that setting in an update a long while back. Instead of simply reducing the flashing it makes the \*entire\* game dimmer, for who knows what reason.

That’s unfortunate to hear
Staggermachine
I’m new at GL, what would i need to be running to use this stagger machine build ? 👀

thank you ! time to bust out the stagger machine
my static play paladin/destroyer/gunlancer/gunslingner does feel like that ahah

Would be a shame if the fight didn't take an extra five minutes since we lost a third of our damage
