Feca/Chance/2

Introduction
Pure chance is quite unorthodox build for a Feca, to be honest. No one's saying it's great, no one's saying it won't be tough, but one thing's for sure - every possible build choice has its good and bad sides. Chance Fecas will probably never be as good as intelligence ones when it comes to shields, but it's much easier for them to get more wisdom (which means they're better at AP/MP stealing) and health (which eventually leads to decent defense as well). You should also be prepared to waste some money on scrolling, so it might not be a build for beginners. We hope this guide will be good enough to answer all your questions concerning this build.

Pros

 * Usually much more health points, compared to intelligence build.
 * Can focus on the AP/MP stealing abilities of Feca.
 * Better prospecting - as usual for chance characters.
 * Decent spells with some advantages over other builds (e.g. Bubble deals much more damage than Natural Attack, the range of Cloudy Attack can be boosted, while range of Backlash stays fixed).
 * The element of surprise in PvP - most Fecas choose other builds.

Cons

 * Annoying chance cap, requires scrolling.
 * Most shields become nearly useless without intelligence; lack of eventual healing with certain weapons.
 * Lesser damage potential with spells than strength (Backlash) or intelligence (Burning Glyph) counterparts possess.
 * It's more difficult to get decent weapons (especially without maging) for chance Fecas than it is for the strength ones.

Characteristics
In this section we'll focus on how and which statistics you should raise.

Softcaps
As you can see above, the chance cap isn't as good as one would want it you be. That's why scrolling is highly advised.

Raising
Vitality: unless you want to raise wisdom to level up as fast as possible/focus on AP and MP stealing, this is the stat you should use your points on. Of course, if you decided to scroll chance, scrolling vitality before adding any points is highly recommended. Wisdom: as I've mentioned before, you might want to raise this characteristic. If leveling/AP and MP stealing is not your thing, just try to scroll it as much as your wallet allows you to - for the sake of advantages it gives. Strength: can be scrolled for weapons' requirements or just to make earth shield a bit stronger. Otherwise - pretty useless for this build. Intelligence: same as strength - it has some advantages (raising effectiveness of healing and shields), but you shouldn't add any points to it. Scroll if you want or have to. Chance: safe to say - it's your key statistic. Because of the caps, you should scroll it to 101 as soon as you're able. Still, adding any points into it might be worth reconsidering. Agility: even without most shields, chance Fecas can be excellent 'tanks' with their defensive spells and huge amount of health. That's why agility might be a very useful stat - you'll have to dodge and lock every now and then. Worth scrolling, at least a bit.

Spells
This part of the guide will - hopefully - help you to choose the spells you'll raise. Thanks to some rebalancing updates, chance Fecas have as much as 3 offensive spells at their disposal - it's not that bad, considering that some characters have to cope with one or two. Don't think that chance Fecas are useless when it comes to defense because of the lack of intelligence - you will still have some literally life-saving spells and no one should question your defensive abilities. Well, let's look at the tables below.

''Please note that the rating is just a subtle, subjective opinion about usefulness of each spell for this particular build. I also haven't mentioned the Summoning of Feca Dopple as I've never had this spell and I'm pretty sure you'll know if you want to raise it when you get such high level.''

Additional spells
Other spells are nearly useless and/or use other elements to deal damage.

Equipment
This guide focuses solely on characteristics and spells, but here you can find a few tips about the equipment you should choose. These are mostly general and might fit many builds (even not-chance ones), but they still may prove useful.
 * Try to get as much wisdom as possible on early levels. It's usually much easier to level up with team, depending on higher level players.
 * As you'll probably end up raising vitality with your characteristic points, you might want to focus your set bonuses on chance rather than health. Unless being a total tank is what you hope for.
 * If you want to sacrifice Reinforced Protection for a weapon, make sure that it deals better damage than your spells. At lower levels, weapons usually are much less effective than spells.
 * Since chance also raises the effectiveness of one of your shields, chance stat might be more useful than damage bonuses (especially percentage) in some cases. You should probably choose chance-raising pet/mount over the +%damage ones.
 * You can look for items with decent chance bonus than also boost intelligence - this way you can raise the effectiveness of your shields without sacrificing damage potential.

Weapons


! Weapon ! Axe !! Bow !! Dagger !! Hammer !! Pickaxe !! Scythe !! Shovel !! Staff !! Sword !! Wand ! Bonus Staffs and wands are the weapons with the best 'natural' bonuses for Feca. Still, you might want to use shovels (they often require chance and deal water damage), hammers (the only weapon that allows hitting 4 enemies at once - or even 5, if you're carried) or daggers (they mostly need only 3AP to make an attack and you'll probably need agility to block anyway). Actually, you might end up choosing different weapon types for different levels/fights. The choice is yours.

Summary
Chance Feca is an unusual build, surely worth trying out. If you like defensive builds, alternative choices and surprising your enemies in PvP, this build will suit your style!
