welcome to mathematical9's official tank guide, where I'd cover most of what a tank needs to survive the floors inside of dungeons [no master mode :sob:]
Sorry but I’m gonna heavily criticise anything that I believe is wrong
mathematical9 said:
f1 - f3:
- old, holy dragon or heavy armor [armor]
- wand of healing [healing item]
Agree
mathematical9 said:
- aspect of the Dragons [melee]
Ok maybe but it’s not a good idea to start bad habits - at higher floors, like f4+, NO class should be meleeing cause it’s just way too slow compared to other things. Tanks should be using either mage clear or shortbow clear. Would personally recommend using a dungeonised dragon shortbow.
mathematical9 said:
- 15 talismans [magical power]
Doesn’t mean anything, 15 common talismans is 45 magic power which is basically nothing. It is much better to talk in terms of magic power - at LEAST 100 but preferably 200-250
mathematical9 said:
- rare blue whale pet [pet]
(~7m cost)
that’s fine
mathematical9 said:
f4 - f5:
- dungeonized old or holy dragon armor, skip adaptive armor and straight for shadow assassin for clearing [armor]
- wand of mending or restoration [healing item]
Agree
mathematical9 said:
- livid dagger, Shadow fury, Aotd (Maxed), Fot (If possible) [melee]
Melee is bad for tank as I said earlier
mathematical9 said:
Again, talk in terms of mp, not number of talismans - would recommend at least 300 mp but 400+ is preferred
mathematical9 said:
- epic blue whale or turtle pet [pet]
(~15m)
Forgot to mention a clearing pet as well, if using shortbow then skeleton pet, if using ss/hype clear then probably sheep
mathematical9 said:
f6 - f7
[!] HUGE LEAP IN PRICE [!]
F6:
- reaper mask + 3/4 necromancer lord [armor]
You forgot to mention clear set, maybe it’s not exactly needed on f6 but it’s best to start good habits cause it’s 100% essential in master mode and f7 if you want to be a good tank
mathematical9 said:
- wand of restoration or even atonement if you can afford [healing item]
Florid zombie sword and gloomlock grimoire are very accessible at this point
mathematical9 said:
- livid dagger, shadow fury, FoT (recommended), juju shortbow (eman slayer 5 requirement)
again, don’t recommend melee to any class other than bers cause it’s just not good at ALL
mathematical9 said:
- 30 talismans minimum [magical power]
Again as I said, magic power. Recommended at least 400, but 500+ preferable
mathematical9 said:
- leg blue whale [pet]
(~60m)
Good but again, clearing pet is also useful
mathematical9 said:
f7:
- reaper mask + 3/4 goldor [armor]
You didn’t include a clearing set - generally consists of ghead + 2/4 necron + maxor boots
mathematical9 said:
- wand of atonement [healing item]
Forgot gloomlock and/or florid
mathematical9 said:
- giant's sword,
Useless if you’re not bers
mathematical9 said:
axe of the shredded,
Useless, does NOTHING for agro on f7
mathematical9 said:
livid dagger, shadow fury,
Again, useless
mathematical9 said:
astrea (rich players)
No point having Astraea unless doing mm, the defence is way too overkill - hype is better
mathematical9 said:
, juju shortbow or terminator (rich players) [melee]
Melee bad unless bers as I have said earlier
mathematical9 said:
- 40 talismans minimum [magical power]
Again stupid cause it doesn’t specify how much mp, at least 500+ recommended but at 600+ preferred
mathematical9 said:
- leg blue whale [pet]
(~100m+)
Forgot clear pet again
mathematical9 said:
recommended / useful items:
- aspect of the end / aspect of the void (etherwarp transmission) [movement]
Aote can support etherwarp
mathematical9 said:
- florid zombie sword [healing item]
Good
mathematical9 said:
- ice spray wand / gyrokinetic wand [combat]
Completely overkill on f7, there is no reason for these
mathematical9 said:
- gloomlock grimoire [healing, sacrifices stats]
Good
mathematical9 said:
- rabbit hat for f7 [patched]
Why mention it if it’s patched
mathematical9 said:
- slime hat [true anti-knockback stats]
Completely useless cause tank literally has antikb built in as one of the perks, and it is working as intended
mathematical9 said:
- bonzo's staff,
Good, but forgot jerry-chine gun
mathematical9 said:
spirit mask [revives]
Spirit mask is over 100m bruh, why not bonzo mask instead which is better and is like a few mill
mathematical9 said:
tank you (cringe joke) for reading this, feel free to remind me if I forgot anything or needs an update!
[clearing guide coming soon]
Also forgot to say what to do in f7
