Shannon Review!

Hey guys! Today we'll look at SHANNON the WIND PIXIE. Big head, small body, in green...

Shannon the Wind Pixie

..that's her. :D She's a SUPPORT MONSTER and she's great at it. Only a NATURAL BORN 2* MONSTER so you can find her almost anywhere. Here's a list on where she's at. Uhm...

  • Unknown Scroll
  • Mystical Scroll (Awakened Form only)
  • Wind Scroll (Awakened Form only)
  • Mystical Summon (Awakened Form only)
  • Social Summon
  • Secret Dungeon
  • Magic Shop
  • Temple of Wishes (Awakened Form only)

Told ya! :D Anyway, awakening her isn't all that hard. I strongly suggest that you awaken her before using because what you'll get after awakening is really good. You'll unlock her PEP TALK skill, boost her stats and a NAME. Who doesn't want a NAME?! Right? :D

Anyway, so now that we've awaken her she's now known as SHANNON. Cool right? So awaken her ASAP. Now let's look at what she can offer. I'm having doubts cause she's a NATURAL BORN 2* but let's look anyway. Hmm...

SPIRIT BALL
Sounds dirty. :D But actually it's a good 1st skill. A SINGLE-TARGET ATTACK that has a chance to land a GLANCING HIT DEBUFF for 2 TURNS. Yessir, I'll take that! Good against FATAL BLADE, RAGE BLADE, VIOLENT BLADE or DESPAIR BLADE users. Just anyone who relies on landing a CRITICAL HIT, should be hit by this. Okay? Good.

DECELERATE
I personally love this 2nd skill, let me tell you why. An AOE ATTACK that has a chance to land a SPEED DEBUFF for 2 TURNS and reusable in 3 TURNS when MAXED. Combine this with a DESPAIR SET and have a good amount of SPD, your enemies will be crawling and begging to get a turn. Obviously I'm talking about PVE monsters okay? Or else you'll be the one crawling and begging. :D Just kidding, she's also usable in PVP. Okay? Good.

PEP TALK
This 3rd skill is so good. Just to let you know so you wouldn't be shock or cry or something. Ok? An AOE ATTACK AND DEFENSE BUFF for 3 TURNS and reusable in 4 TURNS when MAXED. You gotta agree with me on this, this is so good and it is on a NATURAL BORN 2* MONSTER so easy access for everyone. It has a balance of offense and defense, let's just put it that way. Okay? Good.

..Hmm. Not bad. Right? Now that we've seen what she got, I want to recommend some RUNE BUILD/S on her that I think will maximize her potential. Sounds fun right? Alright let's go...

DESPAIR SET
For me, DESPAIR is the way to go. Synergizes with her 2nd skill and also having a chance to stun on her 1st skill is not so bad. This just makes her even better IMO. Okay? So I strongly suggest you go for this. Good. Done with the 4-SLOT SET.

FOCUS SET
This will be my recommended 2-SLOT SET for SHANNON and let me tell you why. With FOCUS, you'll get an additional 20% on ACC. What I will say now doesn't prove anything, this is just my feeling and from what I've experienced. I think that in PVE, you're good with atleast 50% ACC so just get those 30% or more from SUBSTATS. I know all about the 85% vs 100% ACC, this is just me. Okay? We're good.

2, 4, 6 SLOTS
SPD on 2 - SPD is really important on SHANNON, you don't want a slowpoke support. Trust me. Atleast get 150+ SPD, that's good enough.

HP/DEF on 4 - I prefer HP but DEF is good too, just mix things up with whatever you have.

HP/DEF on 6 - I prefer HP but DEF is good too, just mix things up with whatever you have.

MY RECOMMENDED RUNE BUILD/S
DESPAIR FOCUS SPD HP HP

DESPAIR FOCUS SPD HP DEF

DESPAIR FOCUS SPD DEF HP

Wew. Well that was fun. :D Now onto my SHANNON, to where I used her most of the time. :D Let me start by telling you this, she's very very good in PVE but she's not the queen. Okay? But she's very very good, that's where she shines the most. :D Now where to begin. Hmm...

TOA F100 Normal

Oh yea this is my 2nd time beating TOA NORMAL and there is SHANNON. :) And the 1st time I beat TOA NORMAL, my lineup was BARETTA, BELLA, AHMAN, SHANNON and BERNARD. SHANNON was there too. :) See? Not that bad right? Bullying HUMONGOUS BOSS MONSTERS! That's what she does best. :D Alright let's stay a little on TOA. Hmm...

TOA F90 Normal (NOTE: This changes monthly)

This was a TOA F90 BOSS but it changes so there but back then it was this fat fck. I don't know where are the debuffs of the enemies are but that's besides the point cause he's already dying anyway. :D But yea, I almost always use her on every TOA FLOORS for her CROWD COTROL and SUSTAINING abilities. Really good in TOA. Now we leave TOA, onto something big. Hmm...

Giants B10

Another HUMONGOUS BOSS MONSTER! See? SHANNON's such a bully. The reasons why SHANNON is good against GIANTS B10 are she is a WIND MONSTER, PEP TALK increase DEF for all, DECELERATE slows down the GIANT who is already fckng slow before she even slow it and SPIRIT BALLs puts GLANCING HIT DEBUFF on the GIANT. Really good on GIANTS B10. Now where we. Hmm...

Dragons B9

Yea even the COOL LOOKING DRAGONS won't get away. :D I know that most of the work here will be coming from VERDEHILE and HWA but hey she helps out on slowing them down and sustaining the team. That's about it on her dragon action. :D Now to the weird looking. :D Hehe...

Hall of Magic B10

Man, even on HALL OF MAGIC?!?! Yup! PEP TALK-ing, DECELERATE-ing and using her SPIRIT BALLs. Just being SHANNON here. And lastly, a little showoff. Hehe...

Hall of Wind B10

It was WIND DAY so yea. Just SHANNON helping out. :D

Now what? I say you start burning those UNKNOWN SCROLLS of yours and hope for many WIND PIXIE to come!

My final thoughts goes here I guess. Hmmm. She's definitely worth 6*-ing cause it'll make her a little tankier but should not be the priority. My recommended stats for her, atleast 13k+ HP, 600+ DEF, 150+ SPD and 50%+ ACC. Try and give her a shot, who knows you might love me or her or thank me or her. :D She's a keeper. ;)

I guess that's it for her. And for me, I will tell you this now that I won't go any deeper than this but maybe add some suggestions or opinions from you guys. My posts here will contain mostly of what I've seen, experienced and felt so there's no way other can know that other than me. :D But still feel free to say whatever's in your mind or whatever about the post. You bet I'll read it but don't expect returns. Okay? Hahaha. Alright guys, take care! See ya in ARENA, GUILD WAR or WHEREVER! :D
