Soul Weapons

[CakesXD]

I'm wondering if I should get a Mu Gong or a Hilla soul. I have 5 of each shard at the moment, but not sure which to equip for my future new weapon.

Mu Gong if you can get a whole soul. Pretty sure there's a larger bonus for a fully charged Soul Weapon if you have Mu Gong's Soul compared to Hilla's Soul.

We got em for some time in EMS, so I hope I can inform you enough with this:



1) I guess you mean which bosses are available and which boosts you get.

The following are available (I don't know the effects of some of them):

* Ani (Attack move)
* Rock Spirit (Summon)
* Balrog (Attack move)
* Mu Gong (Damage buff)
* Empress (Summon)
* Pink Bean (Summon)
* Magnus (Summon)
* Von Leon (Attack move)
* Hob King (Rush)
* Dragon Rider (Attack move)
* Zakum (Attack move)
* Pianus (???)
* Hilla (???)
* Ephinea (???)
* Akyrum (???)

Every soul has a standard attack (or magic for mages) boost, which will be the same for any soul. Once you have a soul on your weapon you will have 0/1000 charge. Killing monsters will fill this charge. Every 5% of charge will give you 1 attack, up to 20 when fully charged. You can use the boss active at 1000/1000, meaning you will have 0 attack boost again until you charge your soul again.

Every boss in the list above may randomly drop a piece of his soul. When you collected 10 pieces you can double click on the pieces to get a soul of that boss with a RANDOM prefix. For example you can get ''Lively Empress Soul'', which means you get a STR boost on top of the attack. Other examples are ''Wise'' (INT), ''Strong'' (Attack), or ''Great'' (Random 5% boss, 5% pdr, allstats, ...). These stats apply even if the charge is 0/1000.



2) Monsters drop 30% and 50% ''Soul Enhancers'' randomly. Bosses may also drop 100% ones. When you use this on any weapon it will unlock a soul slot (kinda like nebulites) if it passes. There is no boom rate. Once a weapon has a slot, you can put any soul into your weapon you wish. You can also replace them, however you will lose the soul which was on the weapon.



3) Yup, as described @ 2.



4) I can't recall any dungeon o.o

Does anybody have pictures of what the effects look like for each character?

Nope, they don't.

I tested Ephenia's buff, and it lasted 3 minutes compared to Shadow Partner (with 21% Buff Duration) that lasted 3 minutes and 38 seconds. Not sure if this applies to Mu Gong's buff (and every other Soul Skill buff), but Ephenia's buff doesn't appear in the top right corner, so that could also be attributed to why Buff Duration doesn't affect Soul Skill buffs.

I was really hoping it would work. When I saw Ephenia's buff was 50% HP/MP I really wanted to get it. But it's useless if you can't always have it up.

Demon avengers disagree.

There are instances where it would be helpful for other characters. Think outside the box.

It's also a party buff, so if you get a friend to get it as well your group can have 100% uptime.

So been hunting around to an answer to my question, and got nothing lol.

So let me ask again... can you transpose a soul weapon? I prefer not to be the guinea pig for this because I don't have money to get another staff. :c

You can turn Soul Weapons into regular weapons again, by speaking to the human Murgoth NPC that is found around big towns.
So even if Soul Weapons aren't transposeable, you could always turn your weapon back to regular.
