Update: So I played around with a build that uses this Infinite Lightbringer method, it turns out you don't actually need 600% Summoner, you can still build max MP by spamming Lightbringer without it, but instead of gaining 10% of an MP bar everytime, you only gain about 5%, but it's not a big deal as when you are in Lightbringer, you have infinite Soul Shielding, so the actual best way to build up Max MP is to activate Lightbringer with the job who's gear as the required affinities and Soul Shield attacks to quickly build it up, then activate Lightbringer again to refill all the Max MP with actual MP. *Edit: Ok, as it turns out, percentage of a blessing doesn't actually effect the potency of said blessing, only 600% Summoner does, the percentage of a blessing raises certain stats, not effectiveness.*

My biggest problem now is getting to the 100th floor 20 to 100 is tough and there aren't any build guides for that in between

@@richardbigham4138 My advice would be to use the Ultima version of Berserker (Where you can't be broken even if your break gauge goes to zero) and have Runic Protection on so that any damage you take goes to your MP instead of your HP, have 400% Dark Knight with both Near Death Damage Dealt and Near Death Damage Taken effects on your gear, then get good at parrying (120% Liberator will increase parrying window) and have Parry: MP Recovery + Stats on your Berserker job so you can recover MP everytime you parry. This way you will pretty much be immune to damage. Another tip is 600% Berserker has a perk to where Lightbringer will activate when you Soul-Burst an enemy, if you have 600% Cyclic Warrior equipped onto gear with Leviathan Blessing as your set blessing, these means that everytime you Soul-Burst an enemy, you earn much more MP and Max MP instantly everytime you Soul-Burst an enemy, which is another option for regaining MP so you don't have to rely on parrying for your MP gains. You will also regenerate MP whenever Lightbringer is active with 400% Berserker too. Also don't forget to feed the monsters too, they give various bonus stats and perks, one of which is monster memories which speeds up their quest completion and doesn't get reset in the Rift Labyrinth. You can even feed them from the monster menu when you interact with Astos, so you don't have to pull out one individually (You still have to if you want to collect monster memories and job crests from them). Also have the Courel Monster out because she has a perk where monster quests get completed faster.

@@TheCyclicGamer I've been using a berserker build, and I find the MP you'd gain from cyclic warrior overkill. I just make sure the secondary job has the infinite lightbringer build, then the normal MP recovery from soul burst and the MP recovery from 400% berserker is plenty to sustain MP. And if MP does actually get low, say I'm holding a cyclone rush for a long time for whatever reason, just swap to my secondary job and hit lightbringer/dimension bringer and I'm full MP again.

I appreciate that this isn't just a showcase and a 3 second flash of stats, I've been looking for a more comprehensive guide for a while and can't find much. There's also quite a few videos floating around showcasing some builds that can do one shot damage but they're also usually glass cannons.

Great build, only thing is to get to floor 100 for 300 job releases to drop 😂😂 any infinite lightbringer build before floor 100, to complete floors 20-100?

What about trying to get 400% Knight in the build so as long as Lightbringer is activate enemies can't bring your HP to 0. Ultimate Boss Killer.

@@TheCyclicGamer Lol. I'm a dumbass. Thanks, bro.

I know I'm late to the party, but is it only Lightbringer specifically? It's all I ever see in these type vids, never Chaosbringer. I figure there's gotta be a reason; I just don't know what it is.

It can work with Dimension Bringer but it doesn't last long even with Lightbringer Duration +, but yes it's specifically for Lightbringer as Chaosbringer expends all your MP and Max MP, whereas Lightbringer only expends two MP and two Max MP bars. I think this method does make Chaosbringer obsolete though because the selling point of Chaosbringer is being able to use any of your abilities without expending MP at the cost of losing all your Max MP, but with this method you can just regenerate all your MP instantly by just activating Lightbringer, providing you have two bars of MP available, so you just have infinite MP. It's like being in Extra Mode without actually being in Extra Mode.

What happens if you use sage and evoker? Will they null each other out?

@TheCyclicGamer

No, affinities do not null each other out. 60%/120% Sage will only give you more MP per soul shield, but not Max MP. 60%/120% Evoker gives you an additional Max MP boost on a soul shield as it raises Ally's Max MP, including Jack's.

Why near death damage? You are always at Full HP and Never come to the Point auf near death / low HP - maybe you can explain how ist works of what im understanding wrong.

When you have 400% Dark Knight Affinity, you get a perk where all Near Death effects become active at all times, meaning Near Death effects trigger regardless of the state of your health. For example, one Near Death effect is 250% Berserker's Affinity perk, which grants Protect and Shell when you are near death. By itself it will only give you Protect and Shell only when your health is low, but when paired with 400% Dark Knight Affinity, you will instead have Protect and Shell active at all times, your health won't have to be low.

Sorry im stupid, you don't need the weapon and armor stats to this build?

Aside from Lightbringer Duration to make it last longer and tank more hits from enemies before it runs out, no.
