Reina... BLOWWSSSS

[Kamil]

She does such horrible damage to bosses. I am fighting the eye (the holy version) and she has incredible amount of crit and armor ruin and I am fully invested in the combat tree..

She has a good 70 attack power as well ^_ ^

WTF? It doesn't matter what my affinity is, its always the same....

30.. 30... 30.. 43.. 40. 30. 30...

I also have over 20 agility and it should be "increasing" my crtical strike damage via agility.

On top of that I am doing this in focus mode where my damage is increased again.. and it lasts for nearly 35+ seconds..

Fail...

Reina is harder to use than Wyatt, her damage can be higher, but is harder to build. One good way to deal a lot of damage is applying Reckoning and then doing Divine damage. The other is to get those skills in the Monk three, and build long and stylish combos.

So, she can surpass Wyatt, but taking hits is more punishing with her (combo is reset, or less time to benefit from Reckoning)

[Kamil]

What exactly does reckoning do? I have always wondered it doesn't appear to do anything meaningful to me.

[Empio]

Make sure you have the lifeblade accessory, also dark (fire or void) related magic will deal more damage to Eye of Alagath (enchant your weapon).

Reckoning increases divine damage dealt to the target. I personally found speccing for reckoning wasn't that great.

Reina has the potential to do more damage than Wyatt. But she's an advanced play character and marked so in the game. Requires more interaction to do so.

You basically have to make use of her spell combos with her physical attacks to do obscene damage. I've seen her kill bosses on God Slayer speed runs in under a minute. Her tank tree can also make her almost completely immune to magic damage if you want. Even if you're not specced into magic, you shoudl still be making use of her skill combos.

Reckoning increases all divine damage against something afflicted with it.

Just look at the manual. "Reckogning" aflication increases holy damages by 40% and decrease armor by 15.

I've poured all my stat points into luck and have 198 attack damage at lv18. I've got a decent affliction rating and lots of magic so I generally stomp bosses. You may want to reconsider pouring your points into agility next run.

[Killerlotus]

My first full playthrough with Reina was full agi ( almost, I put 1 point into luck due to missclick)
with deadman`s fury armor lvl 3 and lifeblade( iirc) acc, and focus mode I deal 170~280 dmg per hit to both Eyes while having no troubles with HP loss from lifeblade.

Also you should consider stunlock bosses into the air using skill cancel near the end of air combo and throw them up into the air once again.

I remember to stunlock Red Eye ( Eye of Myrgato iirc) using skill cancel and aegis managing to drop it to 30% of hp this way.

I would recommend you to watch Boss vids of this guy ( Reina All Agi Eye Bosses ). Those helped me a lot learning easiest ways to kill them to get S rank

One thing I just don't get about Reina: she's supposed to be an unarmed combat specialist. She starts with only her bare hands. And yet her heavy unarmed attack doesnt break guards. Unlike Wyatt, who despite starting with an actual weapon is just better at unarmed combat. His basic unarmed attack combos have better range and damage than Reina's. To top it all off, Reina can buy the ability to break guards with kick attacks. So she can spend a skill point to do what Wyatt can do by default. It's almost like the devs wanted her to suck.

Lucky Reina, holy affinity, dark totem weapon, golden child tree +reckoning + luck spell ruin, wear the resist armor if you have it, walk right through holy eye while bbqing him. (holy style). The jumping holy beam actually hits for huge damage.

Maybe im thinking of the feral boss though, might have used dark on the holy boss. Hmm.

Luck + Agility Reina tosses a banana in a room. Everything dies.

You use magic and Faolan to break blocks early on. You're supposed to mix her up with her skills instead of just spam attacks. Plus she has Golden Raid which lets you get behind enemies before you even get your first masters scroll to do dodges.

I rerolled and played her with mostly luck and some magic (when it had large benefits to sink points into it) and fought her again without the luck accessorie. All I did was spam two fire spells. The fire bottom spell to break guard and then spamming fire fist with the occasional beat stick melee combo to leech some mana. It was stupid easy. Spam fire... and win. (Oh yea and firebuff your attack as well).

All agility just doesn't work... you can get the crit from luck and get more bonuses from it. I guess with a balanced build it'd be okay to sink a few points in.. but its no worth specalizing in.

AGI build does work against both eye's with the staff as a weap upgraded to level 2+. I've done it just fine on hard mode. My char was 14pts AGI and 6pts luck and for the eye's I used the staff because of the block..you did try to block right? It blocks all of the angelic moves (even the flashy boom) and everything besides the flaming cyclone thing for the demonic eye (even the poison ground blast). I'm sure there are many other ways to beat the eye's, but for the angelic one all I had to do was be a bit more patient than the demonic one and wait to dash behind and hit for huge dmg. As soon as you can use your focus just use it and when the meter is passed halfway of useage bust your finisher. I use the banana :) was hitting for well over 2k. Only magic I used was shock jump help avoid missle attacks, the dash magic power, and the speed buff. For Wyatt it's a bit easier cus he has +dmg buffs and if your AGI warp blade works great especially in focus mode. The banana for my Wyatt char was hitting for under 3k against both eye's. Also it's recommended that you have a specific accessory that does extra damage to demigods that has already been mentioned in the thread.

Basically if your AGI, just use your focus all the time. Can save it if your just fighting trash, but if you're goin up against a shielded large angel or void mage demon whatever their names are, just bust out the focus smack em around a few times and use the finisher. I like the banana the best right now simply because it hits everything in it's range.

Edit: Meant to say I would prob use Axen as a companion, but the wolf is ok for mana regen purposes, and Kanatae? The guy with a temp defensive bonus. I used him in the demonic eye fight and he leveled twice! I don't know how or why since he never levelled up for me before. Thinking you can only level him up during boss fights? May try this on my next play thru..

[Kamil]

Wait you can level up your companions???
