They are all almost normal weapons

You should go fine. But for better damage, I suggest:

Elemental weapons against constructs
Shadow weapons against gremlins

You are also going to need to need someone to do well in switches. I can go with you, if you'd like. And yes, IMF is a good way to farm

Shadow...

I put the Super Blaster in place of a shadow weapon, because i don't like it. I have dislike to shadow.

yes, 3-star should be fine

Built to Destroy is a Stratum-4 mission, and hence designed for 3-star gear. It would be slightly easier in 5-star gear, but not as much as you'd expect. Yes, you should be able to do it in 3-star gear.

You want (A) an elemental weapon for dealing with all of the constructs, (B) a shadow weapon for dealing with a few gremlins, and (C) maybe a gun for hitting switches. Read the wiki page "Damage", to learn the monsters' vulnerabilities and resistances. I don't understand why you dislike shadow weapons. It makes as little sense to say that you dislike piercing weapons or elemental weapons. If you were to dislike any damage type, it should be normal.

In armor, you want normal, elemental, and shock protection.

Yes, Built to Destroy is pretty good for farming crowns, by Tier-2 standards. Royal Jelly Palace (Sovereign Slime) is also good.

Built to Destroy pays out about the same as fighting the Jelly king, but gives out A LOT more when it comes to tokens, due to how well "schemer scraps" sell.

Can you beat it?

Yes, you can beat the roarmulus twins and their levels with almost anything, except shard bombs. Those cannot damage the twins at all. Its more about "skill" and being able to manipulate the mobs and level to your advantage than anything else. The gear you have should provide you with a decent amount of offense given the stratum, as Bopp said.

The loadout that I personally use is-
-Divine Avenger (charge and hit twins to OHKO at max damage in a party of four) [Construct High UV]
-Sentenza (for gremlins, slimes, and switches) [Beast High UV]
-Nitronome (for breaking certain blocks) [CTR Med UV]

-Mercurial Demo Helm [Shock+elemental UVs]
-Chaos Cloak [fire, shock and elemental UVs]

-Barbarous Thorn Shield

I can typically run the ironclaw munitions factory as a whole in under 15 minutes if I am soloing. I timed it.

The loadout I used last time I beat Roarmies (solo)

Cyclops cap (1*)
Fused demo suit (3*)
Pepperbox (3*)
Firecracker (1*)
Scarlet Shield (3*)

Works like a charm.

@Bopp: I dislike shadow for

@Bopp: I dislike shadow for personal reasons, so i'll not comment this.

The mission have slimes? So maybe i'll upgrade my autogun to a Pepperbox. My autogun have increased damage(VERY HIGH) to slimes.

You are saying that shock-resistance is good in the Built to Destroy, so i'll make the Surge Break Shield, i think that it will help me better.

I'll keep the gunsliger hat, because i'm a full gunner, sometimes gun-bomb gunner, but i like it more(works better for me).

So, anyway
Thanks for support

Troupemaster

Any of the -break shields

Any of the -break shields aren't good options as they deadend at 3*. i'd recommend owlite shields for the twins.

Sat, 01/12/2013 - 07:32

Bopp

agreed

Trats-Romra, I suggest that you plan your equipment by looking at the wiki, selecting which *5-star* items you want, and only then looking back in their alchemy paths, to figure out how to get them. Yes, I know that you're just 2- or 3-star now. But as Troupemaster points out, you don't want to get stuck in a dead-end alchemy path.

If I were you, I'd upgrade my Brandish to Combuster, my Flourish to Final Flourish, and my Wolver armor to Skolver/Vog Cub. For Built to Destroy, I'd also start working toward Grey Owlite Shield, as Troupemaster said. The piercing swords are pretty good against gremlins, so use that Flourish on them instead of a shadow weapon.

Omg!

Olá amigo!
Se eu soubesse que você é br, teria postado aqui antes...
Me add no jogo, meu nick é Monocelha. Tenho muitas dicas pra você. Assim poderei te explicar melhor o que Bopp e os outros te disseram. Ok?

@everybody else
thanks for the advices, i'll explain everything to him in our main language, for better results (and try to understand his repulse for shadow lol).

Oh man, it means that i have

Oh man, it means that i have to make one owlite shield, sadly, because i don't like of the design of the shield, but this time I'll ignore the design. Thanks for support, primarily for flourish's and shield's suggestion. As to Brandish, i'm keeping it to make a Shockburst Brandish(I like shock).

P.S:I prefer a Rigaddon, because of the stun. I think it will help me against wolves and the terrible devilites hereafter.

@Monocelha: Não vou entrar

@Monocelha: Não vou entrar agora, vou sair daqui a pouco, talvez outro dia ou mais tarde, é só falar em que área você fica depois da missões que eu te procuro por lá. Detalhe, minha dificuldade é para digitar, escrever e principalmente falar em inglês, mas ler consigo com mais facilidade, alias, o Google Tradutor está sempre a mão para dúvida :D. Pode ficar tranquilo que entende-los eu consigo, mas é sempre bom encontrar um br no jogo :).

Obs.:Não costumo jogar muito, por isso ainda estou com equip 3*, hehehehe.

It seems like you re basing all your decisions on looks or random quirks rather than effectiveness.

Its not entirely bad, you ll just have a harder time than everyone else.

Bopp

great

Thanks, Monocelha. I'll just mention a couple of things and be on my way.

Trats-Romra, shock is great too, so go for it. But get Final Flourish (or Barbarous Thorn Blade) over Fearless Rigadoon, unless you're really into PvP. My analysis of all of this is here. Enjoy.

Well, I would not suggest using Shockburst in the Built to Destroy mission, since the place is full of quicksilvers o.O unless you don't use a charge ... i would suggest using the fireburst/iceburst instead.

And yes, like Bopp said, FF and BTB are better chioces than Rigadoon/Flamberge lines. I usually use the Rigaddon in T2 Lockdown, (and I love it) but there is no comparison in PvE (here I use BTB xD ).

@Trats-Romra Ah, então tá certo! Eu entro todo dia, mas geralmente estou no meu Guild Hall. Se quiser se juntar à minha Guild (Clube da Luta), será bem-vindo! Atualmente uma das melhores guilds BR no jogo, com muitos cavaleiros full 5* e muito amigáveis. Seu IGN é esse mesmo? (Trats-Romra?) Se puder confirmar, já te adiciono na minha lista de amigos.

I don't pretend to use

I don't pretend to use Shockburst, because i normally use guns and i am not accustomed to control sword with mouse, although i like swords, especially the shockburst brandish. Maybe i'll make a iceburst/fireburst before the shockburst. As to Flourish, i thought in stun for three reasons: because i like stun, i think the stun is perfect vs wolves and the devilities(terrible devilities) and perfect to reduce monsters' mobility, but i'll consider your suggestion, I'll read the JDavis' page and maybe make a FF.

@Monocelha: O IGN é este mesmo. Também tenho outro que chama Ghil-Forth.
Se você quiser, depois, leia o Trats e o Romra separadamente de trás para frente e descubra de onde tirei este nome :D.
