This is an alternate Psychological build for sonny 2. Based on the last Psychological build. This is an explained build of the Psychological class. Here is the build: Ability pool: 1.shock therapy 2.shock therapy 3.shock therapy 4.Electric storm 5.Traumatize 6.Free Will 7.Wraith Form 8.Retrograde
1.Shock therapy: A very powerful Electric attack.Good idea to max this out. It will damage the enemy greatly. It is a good idea to have three copies to repeatedly damage the target.Depending on the level you have the attack at it will shock the target for ____%. Very important to have in your ability pool.
2.Electric Storm: A good idea to have. A good idea to max this out. It is a powerful attack and will increase your focus 20 points every turn if maxed out for 3 turns. It is great in the long run and really helpful if your about to use shock therapy. You focus won't be drown out.
3.Traumatize: Not very good for offense but very good for defense if your in a tight spot for health. It will put the target into a coma for two turns and will give you a chance to increase your health. You may not get a lot of health increased but it will get you out of that tight spot.
4.Free Will: A must have defensive attack that will shield you against a certain percentage of your instinct depending on what level the attack is at. It will have this effect on you or a teammate. A good defense If if you or a teammates health is slipping. It also regenerates a certain amount of you instinct depending on its level. This effect will last 6 turns
5.Wraith Form: This is a good offense and defense.It will transform you into a wraith. This will give you 50 focus for transforming and will increase your speed by 400%. It will also increase your damage by 20%. This effect will last 6 turns. An added bonus is that it cots no focus.
6.Retrograde: This is mainly a defensive attack but can also be used as an offensive attack . It used as defense because when you use it, it will swap healing with damage and damage with healing. Its a good idea to turn your teammates into relentless so they don't accidentally damage you. Its a good idea to use this move when you are weak. The enemies will attack yo and instead of damaging you they will heal you. To use this attack as an offense the enemy has to be healing himself. So the next turn he will damage himself. The attack lasts for two turns.
7.Tenacity: This is a passive combat effect. It increases your health and physical defense by a certain percent depending on the level. This is helpful for anyone who has trouble staying alive.You have to waste 3 ability points to get it but it is worth it.
8.Charged Blood: This is a passive combat effect. It increases your lightning piercing by a certain amount of percent depending on its level.
That was all the things i recommend that you have. Now here are somthings i recommend you don't get.
BAD IDEAS:
1.Shock coma: This attack will put your victim into a coma lasting for two turns. It puts your target into a coma. But while its in a coma its regenerating health and gaining focus. However there a some combos that make this attack useful.
2.Overdrive: This is a passive combat effect. It will damage you 10 percent every turn. This defeats the purpose of trying to stay alive. It has other effects but there not all to great. Not worht giving up 10% health every turn.
Good combos:
1. Wipe em' out: Electric storm, shock therapy x3
2. Coma death: shock comax2,high voltage, retrograde
well I hope you find this information helpful. if you have any more questions just ask me .
BTW, about Traumatize, you said you would use it as a chance to recover your health. But besides Veradaux, if you don't have any healing moves, how are you sure if you'll recover enough health? Does Psycho have any healing moves? I think Free Will heals you over time for a while, but that's all I remember...
I prefer to use storm after shock therapy because it actually regenerates 60. Ultimately you'll end up with +15 focus so I believe one can better take advantage of it, but that is just me...
@firetail: I generally use wraith form, free will, or not listed here, salvation. It takes Veradux's healing from 2k to 4.4k... I would say it is worth it.
There are other moves that heal such as shock coma and terrify, but betrayal and nightmare plus the smart use of a retrograde, yields a very large health boost. Simply use Retrograde (on yourself), wraith form/electrical storm, then nightmare yourself. It will transfer the 510% into healing and then you will heal even more over time. Throw in a free will afterwards for even more healing, but no psyco should ever have that much health.
Whenever I die, it is because some the colonel had guns blazing and a critical. 1 hit KO's are all that can kill me, anything else (aside from the stupid dogs) Veradux just heals the difference. This is my build:
Shock Therapy 3x Electrical Storm Free Will Wraith Form Salvation Traumatize
Then the order is:
Free Will (on self) Salvation Shock Therapy Shock Therapy Shock Therapy Wraith Form Shock Therapy Shock Therapy Shock Therapy Electrical Storm
After that, it is just what do I need to do.
Coma Death is quite powerful, but it has its limits, loading up your bar with that makes any other strategy impossible. It works well on one thing and one thing only. High health bosses that have no assistants (as in not the Mayor or Hydra)
Yes that is true, but you stand to run out of focus quite fast unless you stun yourself... Psychopath form is awesome, but to get there with your build, you waste a bunch of points. I tried it on the Mayor, Honestly, you only end up dealing 8k. The way I do it, you hit 9k in three turns and are less likely to die... If you want to keep that method, replace a shock therapy/shock coma with electrical storm, maxed out, it replaces 60 focus in three turns, so I'd say it is worth it...
@steven: For clarification, I mean by trying your method the four turns it takes to do, you get less so in thousands to turns, yours is 2:1; mine is 3:1.
My suggestions: These are just things to try, try them, if you don't like it, change back. Replace one shock coma with salvation (increases veradux's healing by 120%), and the other with electrical storm. From what I have been able to gather, you use shock coma and wraith form for focus regen, but you have to stun yourself consistently, leaving you open to attack. As said above, electrical storm is a very efficient and can regen focus faster than you can use it...
@firetail I am just curious why you have two electrical storms... The cooldown is 2, so you can constantly have the focus regen with just one... Besides, unless I am forgetting something, nothing (or at least nothing in your wheel) uses more than 20 focus, so you don't need that second one, you could replace it with something... Maybe another shock therapy or free will...
Traumatize does not heal, Shock Coma does. Traumatize is fro enemies, it stuns them. Shock Coma stuns and heals 9% of your health each turn. Don't get confused. If firetail is talking about the dark build, he is right. A four turn combo can wipe out most enemies.
