Best Saint Converter Build for Whitestar Airship XV
The best strategy to complete Airship XV with SSS score is using Ronin DPS with a Saint converting enemy element to Dark.
There are 2 types of Saint converter, either using Auto Attack(AA), or Magnus Exorcismus(ME). The better build is AA because of the multiple debuffs it offers more than the ME build, and faster + more consistent convert.
This guide will explain how to build and play the AA Saint converter.
1. Equipment
1a. Debuffing
Other than converting, there are a lot of debuffs that you can apply to the enemy.
Weapon
Headwear
Face
Mouth
Back
Tail
Accessory
1b. Surviving
Most of the time you are also the tank of the team, being the target of enemy attacks. You should dedicate the remaining slots to increase your survivability, even sacrificing some debuff slots if necessary.
You can use any tank equipment that you like, but here are some important ones.
Endure
Poison Resistance
Only on weeks with Plague or Corruption affix, you need to have at least 100% poison resistance or immunity.
Other Statuses
It is recommended to have high resistance to Fear, Stun, Freeze, and Petrify. This is not mandatory because it's random whether the enemies in final wave will have it or not, but it's nice to have. You can get them all from equipment enchantment, or some other ways:
Fear
Stun
Example
For weeks with Plague or Corruption, I changed my armor to use Argiope Card
Ideally, the shadow equipment accessory slot should also be using tank equipment, and the relic should be Horn of the Unyielding (HP block).
2. Stat Allocation
The goal is to reach 402 Hit (Dreamy Cait Flee is 382) and 480 Attack Speed. The rest you can put into VIT for more tankiness, or INT to boost the Matk of your Ronin (via Assumptio).
This is my stats after self buff using Prepare for Elite:
For LIL/CML/PSR, you need 520 Hit
3. Skill Build
There are only a few spells that you have to take. Here are the recommended skills, take max level unless stated otherwise. The rest you can put into whatever you like.
Acolyte
Priest
High Priest
Archbishop
Saint
Others
Example
Skill slot (2 bars):
Prepare for Elite: Blessing, Angelus, Assumptio, Suffragium, Duple Light, Hammer of Blessings, Ode of Hope.
The Light Shield slot is flexible depending on affix, usually replaced with Slow Poison when necessary.
4. Runes
Example
5. Strategy
Team Composition
Mandatory:
Fill the extra slots with whatever you need, usually more debuffing supports depending on the affix (or more Saint support is good too):
You need to complete the instance in at most 6 minutes 20 seconds to get SSS. Each resurrect costs 10 seconds, and each chest stolen costs 30 seconds.
