Guide for Pulling the Strings - for Corsair[]
Equipment[]
Equipment setup for Corsair is fairly simple:
The most important piece is the weapon .. which should be an Earth Staff or a Terra's Staff
Full Corsair AF is just fine.
Neck: Peacock Charm/Peacock Amulet if you don't have a lot of gil Spectacles are just fine.
Ring: Carapace Rings and/or Garrulous Ring, any r.acc ring set is fine actually.
Ammo: Iron Bullet
Weapon: Trump Gun or if you have the assault ranking for it Shark Gun
Earrings: Drone Earring
Back: anything .. can be empty
Waist: anything .. can be empty
Card: An elemental card for Quick Draw. Any elemental card except Dark Card or Light Card ... Fantoccini can't be slept and dispel is pointless on him (Earth Shot is a good idea as you will already be using an Earth or Terra staff, this will add extra ACC to your QD).
Consumables[]
For food, I suggest a Tavnazian Taco (great stackable food if you do this ENM every 5 days). A big part of this fight is simply outlasting your opponent. The extra DEF and HP you get with the tacos will help with that. Also, take a Pamama au Lait to drink for regen.
You most likely wont need it, but bring a single Hi Potion +3. You can always sell it back if you don't use it.
The Strategy[]
The goal is to out last Fantoccini, which will be easy to do with the Earth Staff and the Tavnazian Tacos.
1) For rolls, put up Chaos Roll and Gallant's Roll. If you have trouble landing bullets, use Hunter's Roll instead of Gallant.
2) With Iron Bullets, you will deal about 90-110 damage per hit, and Fantoccini will land 8-15 damage per hit on you. Just keep firing away at him, the fight will be over soon.
3) Remember to use your 2 hour if its available. However 2 hour availability is not necessary for win, just makes the fight finish faster.
4) Use an elemental card for Quick Draw.
5) The fight should last about 5 minutes.
Conclusion[]
I hope this guide helps someone! When I first tried this fight as Corsair, Fantoccini cleaned my clock, but with a slight adjustment in equipment and strategy it became extremly easy. If you have any suggestions or comments, please post them on the talk page.
