Acquiring Magichange Weapons
----------------------------
The very top end Magichange weapons (MCW) are considered the strongest
weapons in the game. Although the R40 weapons you made previously are very
strong and will be enough to beat anything you want in the game, for those
who want to get 100 million in every stat, MCWs are the way to go.
The process is really not that difficult, you basically wait until uber LoC
monsters magichange then bop the enemy with your Puppy Paw Stick and hope for
the best. Enemies at this level have ridiculous stats (100 million SPD after
MC) so you will likely have to use your Naive Glasses. Furthermore, your PPS
is quite gimpy so make sure you have rank 9 Axe special attacks to maximize
your damage.
My maxed character (with PPS, 2 Trap + Naive Glasses, all matching rarity)
can do a couple hundred million damage with Calamity Drive. Thus this isn't
really as difficult as it sounds.
As some additional tips, if a monster performs a magichange with no active
weapon equipped when it does so, the MCW will be rank zero! Thus if you are
really serious about this, you should scan through all the monsters at the
beginning of the battle and steal their weapon(s). Note that only monsters
with the "Magichange" skill can actually magichange - most do not have this
skill. You can check to make sure they have the ability in the menus. As a
warning, even monsters with the skill are not guaranteed to use it so this
process is often very frustrating.
If you are not super picky about getting the absolute best MCW (which could
take a long time) what you can do is End Turn on see if anything does a
Magichange. If something did, then go examine the rarity and try to PPS it if
it is zero. A middle-tier MCW weapon is roughly equivalent to a perfect R40
weapon so this method will still yield something better than you had before.
Before your PPS your target you should also steal all of their miscellaneous
accessories to maximize the odds of getting the MCW. It helps a lot to have a
bunch of expendable thieves to do the various steals necessary.
This is very important. I repeat, this is very important. The MCWs will only
exist as long as they are equipped. If you unequip them and beat a stage, or
talk to the wrong NPC, or any of a variety of actions - the stats will go to
zero permanently. So always have them equipped! This includes the battle that
you stole the weapon. You must equip the item immediately after stealing it.
As for MCW traits, they look identical to the normal MCW weapons but will
last forever in that form. However, it cannot be leveled via Item World and
innocents cannot be placed on them. That means that you should put your
Mastery Innocent, Professional and Guardian on one of your accessory ****s.
MCWs can be duped like anything else, but you must equip it before you finish
the Class World.
