Re: Aegis Thousand Year War - DMM Online Game
Dragon Paladin already gave you a thorough explanation for the merits of Vampire Princess Karma. I'm not going to defend her that much; Immortal Princess Karma is just too good to pass up, but even Vampire Princess Karma has her uses.
1) HP can't be recovered.
You can deploy Karma near your healers, and she won't distract them. Especially useful for enemies with AoE attacks.
2) High Stats.
Puppeteers, Berserkers, Vampire Princesses, and Battle Masters are useful because they have such high HP and defence that they can delay enemies so that your main party has enough time to finish eating their vegetables so that they're ready for dessert.
3) Magical Damage.
Karma is the only class from example two that deals magical damage, so while Ricca is better for things like demons and slimes, Karma is better for anything with moderate to high defence. You can deploy Vampire Princess Karma, and she will slay an opponent like a Dragonewt Mage all by herself.
I'm impressed u can remember previous discussions in the forum
1. Agreed.
2. Agreed on the concept but plat karma is one of the worst of that group.
3. True but the objective of a ganker is to delay a big guy or kill a weak but troublesome one (mages), so not really much use for that magic dmg.
If there is one thing a like about this game is that every unit has its uses. If we want to discuss about her capabilities in isolation, then it is a you say. Nevertheless, something I've learned as a free player is to be extremely efficient (well, I try to be efficient in life too, the way of the engineer

).
So, looking at her in context, my arguments include the cost to get plat Karma:
- not extremely high during original event but only by not getting the black one
- a bunch of revival crystals, I dont remember the exact number but it was not trivial, possibly 1 (2?) copy without spending goddess crystals if u farmed the whole event by neglecting at least 1 other farm event for a weekend
Her deploy cost:
- in original event getting min cost plat karma means u missed black for some vials, that sucks, it's really unlikely
- in revival it means a lot of crystal farming
So we are basically talking about a cost of 18 or so.
Cost to raise:
she does not CC so that is a plus but as a plat she is not cheap
So, getting and raising an expensive plat whose job can be done by a 13 cost silver valk (getting 10 back) / 7 cost silver rogue 90% of the time and HA/Bandit 8% of the remaining, it's not efficient at all.
That's why I disencouraged him to even worry about plat karma when there is so much more useful ladies out there.
If I were given a near max cost reduced, already AW plat karma, yeah sure, I would definitely use her (and use the AW as wallpaper, wait, I can do that anyway, *starts googling aegis cg*). Getting and raising her from scratch? not a chance.
PS: just remembered its easy to extract the images from the game
