    1) You can have 1 point in TL and max snatch for LHC
    2) MoN is better than HTP if thats your question, so you should definitely aim for that whenever you can

    Donnie, is it possible for you to add this to main OP so it's easier to reference to others and other upcoming Bucc players can spot?

    @xDarkomantis I thought it was implied here, but i will add it to the macros section to make it clearer:

    It's more useful having a list for clarity. Hard to spot/notice.

    Quick question regarding washing, I’m currently leveling a Brawler Lv31 with 130base int, 184 in total. The goal for this character is a comfortable 19k Hp, should I keep adding Int if so how many more points are necessary?

    I try not to answer this type of questions, because it's just a calculating question.
    I suggest you use the calculator and make your own conclusion about where you stand - https://royals.ms/forum/threads/hp-washing-calculator.111127/

    Is Barrage damage description per line or in total?

    If it's in total, wouldn't it just be better to spam Demolition?

    Per line.

    Barrage:
    Lvl 30: MP -35, damage 330% (per line)
    Demo:
    Lvl 30: MP -50; attacks a monster 8 times with damage 500% per hit (per line)

    8 x 500% > 6x 330%

    Source: https://royals.ms/forum/threads/mapleroyals-skill-library.209540/

    While there are more factors to this like cast time and the fact that Barrage formula is different and lines are not identical in damage, Demo > Barrage on their own still remains.

    For your question - Barrage + Demo does beat Demo spam.
    I suggest checking this to figure out what is best to use in every situation:

    Ah I see, thanks.

    Was kind of confused because the tooltip doesn't say it's per hit, whereas, demolition does say when it's per hit.

    Also, curious as to if Dragon Strike is better for Zak Arms or Fully Charged Energy Orb? Since Energy Orb is 900% damage up to 6 monsters, 90% more damage than Dragon Strike.

    I didn't test that and it's not in the chart, so you are free to test and share the result.
    My guess would be that energy orb is much worse because it will not bounce between the arms most of the time, it's not reliable enough.

    Ahhh I see didn't know it bounced off, should probably be slower.

    Also, I have a question. Do different skills have different damage formulas, or their % is what matters?

    For example, what's better when hitting two targets, Shockwave 30 (700% damage) or Snatch 30 (600% damage)?

    There are some skills that have other factors. For example energy orb works a bit like chain lightning, the damage gets reduced every time it bounces (I think it's 2/3), so say it hit 50k on first mob then it hits 30k, 20k, 13k and so on.

    While Dragon Strike would hit 50k on each mov so the overall multi target damage is much higher. As for snatch Vs shockwave, shockwave is indeed stronger but snatch is much faster (about twice as fast) so DS+snatch would have significantly higher DPS than ds+shockwave.

    Also about barrage, it deals 330%x10 damage (5th hit deals double damage and the top hit deals 4 times the damage). It's also faster than demolition and have slightly higher DPS, and has other advantages over demo like 100% iframes (demo doesn't have complete iframes) and a slight knock back that can pin bosses.

    Hello!

    I'm new to the forum and Royals, but played a bit in my GMS time.

    I was wondering, considering that i want a lot of HP, i wanna reach that 200 base int.
    ATM i'm leveling my priest at dead mine, and getting zombie teeth for my bucc xp (now lvl 27), just now i started worrying about the second job advancement...
    Can I kill the mobs with maple pop's and heartstoppers, or will I need some other pirate wanting to advance together to help me?

    Thanks in advance for the guide, helped me a lot!

    You can do both 2nd and 3rd job adv with everything in INT.
    You will need str gear (overall, earring, hat and anything else you can get your hands on).
    Pops + stoppers should do fine.
