hello u may have seen my boss guide (dought it tho lol) and as u kno theres an elec guilde for phsco, to tell the truth, electrics easyer to use because it needs no stragedy. but heres for people who pefer shadow (best to use at atleast z2)

frist a move go over:

dark infulsion: most of the time trash, sure its good at the begining, and is usefull for the third boss, but apart from that its useless.

corruption: this is a key move for shadow phycos, because its good damage, and only 20 focus, match this with nightmare for best result

placebo: it isnt that usefull. but good if mixed with insucerity and dark echos, but i dont reccomend using it.

nerve shock: same as placebo; skip it once you can

terrify: this move is 1 of the 3 moves that drives this build, as you kno, overdrive takes health: just use this and it wont take any away for its turn radius, then just use it again.

dark echos: this does noticebly less then nightmare, but, weakens shadow defence, perfect!

tramitize: this is critical for barron and doctor kilma, usefull in others none the less. but you only need it in those battles.

retrograde: only use it in doctor kilma. no questions asked.

betrayal: pure trash

overdrive: get terrify to 4/4 then get this and use terrify frist always, and its really usefull.

enpiphany: this is the best shadow move, coz it does quite high over time damage, mix it with insucerity and dark echos, and your looking maybe 2k per turn.

psycopath form: just epic. use it to heal, add heaps of damage, its 1 of the 3 moves that drive this build.

shock thearpy: needed for elect phys, were not tho, so 1/3 for presquite

high voltage: garbage, 1/4 for presquite

electrical storm: this is another epic move: always have it in ur move bar: max it, love it, its the core driver of this build. less damage then nightmare, but its FREE and restores 40 focus. just epic.

charged blood: same as shock therapy. but no prequites

wraith form: its usefull, but you dont need it. i dont coz i dont have room. lol

electron charge: its good damage and u can remove its buff with shock thearpy, but were not using electric so skip it.

nightmare: the strongest attack in the game. then after let loose corruption, for the next few turns, and youve got atleast 5000 damage. its perfect. max it. no questions asked.

ultimation: just garbage.

haunt: get 2/2 for barron. but thats it.

implosion: you dont need it. but it can be usefull with baron. only baron tho.

confinement: good for healing enemeys, but not needed. wont help for doctor kilma.

sacrifice: pure garbage. it helps at the end of a battle, but you
shouldent use it.

destruction: you dont need this skip it. 1/4

salvation: same as destruction. 1/4

tenacy: get this to atleast 2/5 its usefull

shock coma: not needed but its cute lol.

freewill: you dont need this. but you can get it.

ok thats every thing.

heres point spend:

4/4 terrify
4/4 dark echos
1/4 free will
1/4 betrayal
1/2 retrograde
1/1 overdrive
4/4 epiphany
1/1 phycopath form
1/3 shock thearpy
1/4 high voltage
4/4 electrical storm
4/4 nightmare
3/3 insucerity

what you do with the other point is up to you

heres your moves:
1 elecstorm
1 corruption
1 dark echoes
1 insucerity
1 psycopath form
1 epiphany
1 terrify
1 nightmare

stats: most to instinct, some to vitality, then pop some into speed and strenght.

armor: anything with instinct or shadow pericing.

weapons: i find shadow runeblade or that double sided staff from clemons quite usefull, and the same for law binder and wrath of the council.

help with bosses or hard enemeys:

felicty

phrase 1

shell start using black metal. stun her with tramitize so she cant.
get her to half health, and shell stop with black metal, and apply serious buisness

phrase 2

shell apply serious buisness to herself, and stop casting bmetal.
she hits double and takes half of the damage. just stay alive till 1/4 health

phrase 3

shell apply shadow blend. very annoying. just stun her so she cant.


captan hunt

they can be annoying. not if your doing it right: ok frist kill the sniper, the mage hardly heals him, then drive hunt into his desprate sheild. normally the healers sheild will be gone. kill him. then break hunts puny sheild and kill him.

clemons the deceiver

phrase 1

always have dark influsion for this fight because his mystery debuff is a 5 turn subersion (retrogrades effect only for 5 turns)
ok. keep both on relentless.ok, get him to 2000 health.

phrase 2

he reveals his true form, heals to full, but takes 200% more damage. he also stops casting the mystery debuff. just attack with all youve got.


the hydra

this ones annoying for phycos. get electric for the fire heads, and shadow for the hydra. keep roald on relentless and varadux on phalax.


the mayor

phrase 1

heh. ok, start attacking the mayor, trying to keep yourself alive. dont kill the cannon untill the mayors dead. get him to half health.

phrase 2
hell cast a permentant enrage, but he removes it later. just stay alive, till 1/4 health. this is where not killing the cannon pays off. if u killed the cannon frist, the mayor cast this 9 turn stun spell, sharply recude damage spell, sharply recude healing spell. if u didnt kill the cannon, he wont cast them, he removes the enrage about now as well. just kill the mayor, then break the cannons sheild, then kill the cannon.


the judge

just keep her focus low. she can hit high, and has a stunner. she has no speficic stratagey to beat. so just kill her. have varadux on phalax at all times.

VERSU THE CORRUPTER

here we go. the big last boss. she has orbs that keep healing them selfs. dont attack them, just attack the corrupter. eventully the 1 that losses 6000 health a turn will die. so shell go into her true form. all attacks that she does hits 5000 more. she also takes 10000 less from attacks. just attack her with all your might. i would recomend being electric for this, and be level 30. coz you can hit immeadiate damage. she can be very difficult. she dosent hit much befor she goes into her true form tho. kill her befor the orb dies. or you stand no chance unless she has like 5 health.


next some difficult enemeys.

nosgostila

phrase 1

a hard guy.
he will cast earth titan on him self, all attacks do 3000 less. just stay alive during it, and he may remove it, otherwise your gonna have to wait it out.

phrase 2

it has been 99 turns or he removed it. just kill him

that flame ninja guy in z7

the highest hitter in the game. probably as hard as the corrupter. its likely considering hes the battle b4 the corrupter. he cast the eternal flame on himself, all attacks deal 5000 less to him i think. and his hits depend on his focus. at 100 focus, he hits 22000. he regens it back, so keep stunning him, hes extremely difficult. i forgot how i beat him. once he removes it (if he does)
kill him.

the bomb

just attack it with all your mite, it dosent heal/ attack. always have felicity.

south/north guardions

to resolve there enrageing problem, kill them about the same time.

mage knight preist

just stun the mage, kill the presit, kill the mage, then the knight. simple. but i kno its hard frist time. just keep yourself alive.

mage knight mage
same as last 1, never stun the knight if theres any mages left. just keep yourself alive.

gregor

just keep stunning him. keep his focus down. then its easy

bunny

just keep attacking/healing. it cant heal, just stay alive.

tunnel beast

this hits high, just keep healing.

the magical monkey

just keep it stunned, heal when possoble.

I love this guide! There were basically NO grammatical or spelling mistakes!

You should try to get this stickied, you also have in depth coverage of all of the hard enemies!

I especially love all of the attention given to the Baron, he IS a very hard fight if you don't know what are you doing.

One of hte best things about this guide is that it gives you the general order of moves that you should use, and in which combos.

THe format of this guide is also very original; I don't believe that any other guide has ever used this format, not even the electric pyscho guide!

I give this guide a 10/10, keep up the good work!

Riou, this is a completely different build Lmao

This is pretty good, im a electric man myself, just a few things that could do with a change:

skills:

Salvation: When its maxed, it gives veradux a 150% percent heal boost, essential for keeping yourself and roald/felicity alive, and it lasts for a lot of turns as well.

Free will: Needs more credit. great in all battles, but especially for solos. with huge instinct (as a psycho should have) it has excellent healing capabilities, as well as a towering shield which absorbs many hits before breaking.

Shock therapy: Great damage, great for debuffing, great for just about everything, during so many of the bosses, at least get it for debuffing, renders annoyances like the sniper useless.

Wraith form: needs more credit. as there is only one weapon which offers much shadow peircing, and it is practically no use for psycho's, that 400% speed boost allows you to get some Uber crits, with shock and nightmare.

Bosses:

Felicity: phase 3: just use shock therapy, stops shadow blend in its tracks.

Captain hunt: Shock the sniper every time he puts a buff on himself, renders him all but useless. you can stop the medic's master healing too with the same spell, attack hunt until the shields break, then kill medic, then sniper, then hunt.

Clemons: Use free will to break exhaustion when he casts it on you, also this is subversions only use aside of Dr.Klima,
subversion on him when you think he's going to reveal his form, and Overkill.

Mayor: Sorry, but make sure to kill the cannon first, or at least keep his focus at near zero with traumatize, when he gets 40 focus he'll hit for over 10k damage. The mayors stun increases health by 300%, so it's just a slowing annoyance, not a major threat, and you can use free will to dispell it.

i kno how good free will is. ive used all builds for all classes, beat game with each. i kno how good free will is. its expeptional, but you can use terryfy and phycopath form to heal. so the only good point is the sheild. exeptionally usefull but not entirely needed.


Shock therapy: Great damage, great for debuffing, great for just about everything, during so many of the bosses, at least get it for debuffing, renders annoyances like the sniper useless


look. im not saying you shouldent use it. just that for this build its not completely nessecery. it is completely nessecary for electric phycos, but this is for shadow, u can get it in replace
to corruption or nightmare. (if u take over any for it i recomend nightmare, coz then without corruption, the healing might put its health to what it is like befor you used it.

look, i didnt say wraith form was a bad skill, ive used it b4. i kno how good it is. AND, i didnt say u have to use it. its NOT nessecery for this build, but i didnt forbid you to use it. seesh.

you have me the wrong way, i said this is a good guide, I just suggested some things you could put for possible improvment, and these are completely my opinion. also 6 posts in a row, in your own thread is spammy, so maybe I should be going "seesh" rather than you rolling your eyes at me. if these are good skills, why do you not say that this is a good survival skill, or a good alternative damage dealer. And when exactly did I say, "how come I can't use this skill?" the fact is, I didn't, and no matter how great any guide is, I don't let it rule the game, I do what I please.

But, enough of downers. I never put your build down, and I said it was good. Nor did I say it was useless, but nor is it perfect. I understand your touchyness on something you put effort into making, And I am sorry for offending you unwittingly, but constructive criticsm is nothing to be afraid of or worried about, something to be thought about and responded to appropriately. Not something to stress about. the main psycho thread has had loads of critiscm, and the thread starter doesn't stress about it.
