Mochi's Full Support Arch Bishop
Overview
Welcome to leika-Ro and my guide to building, gearing, and playing a full support arch bishop. As an older-styled mmorpg classes and the role they play in a party fall in line with the times. With most core parties consisting of Healer-Tank-Support/buffer-DPS-Utility. While multiple classes can fill some of these roles only 1 class can fill the healer role in Leika-Ro. In order to complete a lot of instances and content having a healer in the party is a hard requirement. Having one properly built geared and played can be a defining factor between a wipe or getting sweet loot.
Basics
So now that we have elaborated on why an arch bishop is so important lets talk about what makes or breaks them.
- You cannot heal when dead (so be tanky, proper reductions, invest in Vit & HP)
- You cannot heal if effected by certain negative statuses ie. Silence, stun, sleep, stoned, frozen (So gear to be immune to these)
- You cannot heal when out of mana/sp (So have Sp pots, use sp regeneration, sp cost reduction)
- You cannot support your party if you do not know your status recovery skills
Stone Curse = • Bless • Clementia • Lauda Agnus • Status Recovery
Silence = • Cure • Lauda Ramus
Stun = • Status Recovery • Lauda Ramus
Frozen = • Status Recovery • Lauda Agnus
Sleep = • Status Recovery • Lauda Agnus
Poison = • Slow Poison
Proper use of Kyrie, Praefatio, and Assumptio block a set number of incoming physical attacks up to 30% of persons Max HP. While also preventing flinch and cast interruption. This is very useful when moving as a party.
Assumptio doubles your effective sheet Hard DEF and Hard MDEF with 600 Hard DEF = 50% physical damage reduction and 110 Hard MDEF = 50% Magical Damage reduction. These are very important numbers to keep. Assumptio can make the difference between a character in your party dying in 1 hit or 2 hits.

Soft defense is a direction reduction to incoming damage I.E 1000 incoming physical damage vs 161 soft defense is 1000-161= 839. To my knowledge this is a final reduction that takes place after all other reduction making it very useful and can turn some damage into just 1 dmg.
