V. Summary and Conclusion
Homunculus (Support) is a versatile monster useful in all game contents. You can build it in various ways ideally for Raids, ToA, Dungeons, PVP or PVE. Due to its wide range of possible skillsets, we decided to make a guide to help you which path to take depending on the area you want to focus. The skills we recommended are based on its effectiveness to that specific area. For example, NB10 needs multihit team composition so we selected the path that utilizes multihit skills at the same time fulfilling your role as a utility support. Another example is ToA, since Crowd Control is key to clearing most floors we selected the path that refreshes skill cooltime of allies while controlling the ATB of enemy units.
Those mentioned are just a few criteria in determining the right path selection. Also, popular team set-ups are shared to help you what composition is best to add with your Homunculus. With this guide, you can effectively farm your desired focus area and boost up your game progress.
Hope you learned from this guide and please do share your progress with us.
