Homunculus S
The Homunculus S is an advanced form of the standard Homunculi, which a Geneticist can obtain from evolving his/her current Homunculus through mutation. These new Homunculi are much stronger than the original Homunculi, and each of them have more skills, unique to each, in addition to their current skills. Geneticist classes must go through the Homunculus S Quest in order to mutate their Homunculi.
Types of Homunculus S
There are 5 types of Homunculi S with various attributes unique to each. Skills are listed in the order they are unlocked by that type.
Choosing a Homunculus S
Each Homunculus S serves its own purpose that is custom tailored to the players' individual needs. Despite general opinion, players should choose based on what they plan on doing with their future as Geneticist.
Base Homunculi Review
Here is a list of the base Homunculi and what their purposes serve towards a Geneticist's Homunculus S.
- Lif - This Homunculus is the most unfortunate one. Currently her spells don't work properly, she has no offensive skills, her defense is poor (but not as poor as Filir's), Healing Hands requires the player to keep Condensed Red Potions (which can still be somewhat useful), and Urgent Escape eventually becomes overshadowed by Cart Boost, which also increases the player's damage. Due to all this, she's unable to take advantage of her huge Max SP. Not recommended as a carry over to Homunculus S unless the owner is really attached to Healing Hands or to herself.
- Filir - Has very high offensive power (very high ATK and ASPD) and poseeses Flitting, that will help the Homunculus S level fast, which is extremely helpful to access to their skills as soon as possible for doing whatever it is planned on doing later. Filir is by far the best choice for people that want a fast leveling Homunculus S. Nonetheless, leveling a Filir can be annoying due to its low defense, low Max HP, and poor Flee Rate in Renewals mechanics (due to it, the rest of the Homunculi have even lower Flee Rate), but the reward at the end is more than worth it due to its sheer offensive power.
- Best combination: Sera
- Amistr - It is by far the best Homunculus to raise if the player wants to turn his/her Homunculus S into a tank for solo PvM. Out of all the Homunculus, this one and Filir provide the most carry over spells for Homunculus S to use, as well as the most useful one. It also makes an average puller due to its survivability and provides his owner with Amistr Bulwark, a semidecent VIT boost. However, it is very, very slow to level up due to its lack of an offensive skill, but has Blood Lust, a life leeching skill that can keep him up longer, and Castling, which switches positions with his owner, in a dire situation.
- Vanilmirth - Has an excellent defense and can use Caprice, which is extremely useful for pulling mobs from a distance to buy time to get a Cart Cannon cast off without taking a hit. However, it picks a random property, which can mean it could either inflict little to no damage or even heal certain monsters, which makes said skill more for just pulling than killing. This is the only option of Homunculus to use if the player plans to become a potion brewer, since Instruction Change increases the potion creation success rate significantly.
Mutating a Homunculus
To mutate a Homunculus into a Homunculus S, meet the following requirements:
- Owner must be a Geneticist.
- Homunculus must be evolved into their 2nd form.
- Homunculus must be at least Level 99.
Once mutated, the Homunculus will alter its base stats, will remember all of its skills from its previous form and will change into the new "S" form. However, its Intimacy will reset to 10 (Hate). If the Homunculus did not get the evolved loyalty skill, it will not be able to acquire it after mutating. New Homunculus S skills will become available as the Homunculus reaches certain level requirements. Each Homunculus type can evolve into any Homunculus S, the resulting form is random unless a fee is paid.
