CONDITIONAL DAMAGE

There are 3 main types of conditional damage:

Air Strike/Aerial
It applies when attacking a target from midair.

Back Attack
It applies when attacking a target from behind.

Chase
It applies when attacking a target in midair.

Do remember, the difference between aerial attack and chase.
- Aerial is you in the midair.
- Chase is target in the midair.

"I'm new to the game, I don't know what to do!"

1. First thing to do when you're new to the game is to level up until 89.
   I suggest you follow the story quest or mission to level up. You don't need to think and you get items and materials that are also useful in the future.
   By following the main mission you will also unlock PNA, Chips and Triggers can be unlocked by clearing a side quest.
2. Just use random gears that's up to date that can give enough damage to follow the story mission.
   In [CODE:Closers] though, they give you free limited time stuff for equipments. You can use that for easy games.
3. Join a crew/circle! It's very useful, if there's something that you don't know you can ask immediately to your crewmates.

Costumes & Accesories
Costumes is everyone's happiness in this game. Other than it's beautiful or handsome, it can also add damage to your character.
Most common people do with costumes is trading! For trading you need seal.

In some raid, you will find some damage patterns.

AOE Attack Type

AOE type 1: unless it's a KO attack, you can still attack without being interrupted.
AOE type 2: you will get interrupted if got hit unless i-framed.
AOE type 3: i-frame piercing attack. Either run out of the danger zone or dodge.
AOE type 4: nothing can help you avoid this attack aside from running away.

You can check here if you need a detailed video.

It's quite unrelated to Raid "Pattern" but it's a Raid Schedule that people usually like to know.

Nicely made guide. Good job! 

Some corrections to point out are

BEGINNER GEARING
Lv.70 : Tiamat
Lv.80 : Purification
Lv.88 : Busan
Lv.89 : Asmodeus

-Tiamat gear doesn't exactly exist anymore, people keep PG related stuff up till Lv.75 and use Extreme gear then. 
-The purification gear shown on the link is the gear you can only get after Lv.86 and not 80. Maybe link a guide for the Lv.80 ones or change it to say Lv.86
-Busan gear is a gear-set that you can get after Lv.85 and not 88.
-Similar case being with Asmodeus, it being a gear set you can acquire/use at Lv.87 and not 89.

This schedule is heavily outdated and not accurate anymore. A more updated version would be:
Mon: Tiamat Heart 
Tue: Tiamat Castle , BBv2
Wed: Tiamat Castle[Nightmare], BBv1
Thurs: BBv2,  Asmodeus v1
Fri: Tiamat Heart[Nightmare], BBv1
Sat: Tiamat Heart, Tiamat Castle[Nightmare], BBv1, BBv2, Asmodeus v1
Sun: Tiamat Heart[Nightmare], Tiamat Castle, BBv1, BBv2, Asmodeus v1

I did not include Sea of Pollution as it's a daily dungeon currently.


Hopefully this helps a little. Good work overall

hello, I just want correct the promotion:
Junior/Rookie Agent is Start on Level 19
Regular/Official Agent is Start on Level 42

and after getting Regular/Official Agent, we can buy the Skill Ticket on NPC Shop (it's become Vending Machine now?)
it's just 100 credit (that's so very cheap) and we no need to collect 30 Lucky Phase Token for the Skill Ticket hehehehe
