Warlock

[[[m|warlock]]] is a great class for burst thanks to it’s teamwide echoes via [[[ms|chaser]]] or [[[ms|secret-triad]]] and being able to mainhand opus with falsehood key for teamwide double strike. Warlock’s Ultimate Mastery skill [[[ms|arcane-field]]] is an incredible addition for this year making setups for both magna and primal a lot better.

Full Auto Setups

For NM95, character selection tends to be very free and burst oriented characters and setups can easily used. With quick summon especially, many setups can take 2-3 turns now.

Many of the full auto setups from last year will still work well with varying levels of improvements. The biggest change more than any grid pieces is being able to use a summon in FA. Any setup can be altered or improved with it. Below is a video of examples from last year for ideas.

One of the biggest character changes this year is [[[c|haaselia|’s]]] FLB. With swapping her in via [[[m|street-king]]], one turn setups are possible.

Kengo

[[[m|kengo]]] is an excellent class to make use of water’s strength in CA damage. While slow compared to other kinds of FA, it is both very low entry and reliable making it a great choice for beginnnrs.

[[[m|manadiver]]] setups make use of the large skill nuke from MC every turn. Since MC is a primary damage dealer, many of the other characters can be swapped around based on who you have available.
