Kingsglaive Noctis New Hero Guide

Kingsglaive Noctis New Hero Guide

With the release of the new hero Kingsglaive Noctis, we see a new Royal Dark Troop stat type, a new Monster, and the highest combat stats of any hero so far. This guide will touch on all of these aspects and more.

“Brothers and sisters, brave warriors of Lucis… you’ve done well these ten years, and I thank you. You’ve done so much, all for my sake…

 Even as the darkness overcame our world, we kept the Light alive in our hearts. We’ve all lost friends and loved ones along the way, but the one thing we’ve never lost was hope. Brothers and sisters, I ask you to stand by me and fight at my side – for the Light, and for the future of our world!” 

-Noctis to the Kingsglaive

Kingsglaive Noctis Hero Skills

MP regeneration is at the highest EVER. 44B% MP Recovery will significantly decrease the amount of time that it takes for your MP bar to fill up. Hours instead of days or days instead of weeks. Guild Adventure Hall damage is at 4M% which is one of the higher numbers in a single skill node that we’ve seen. 

It also looks like we will be seeing a new type of Monster in Eos. Your Kingsglaive Noctis will need to be at least level 47 before you can attack a Ruthless Monster.

Kingsglaive Noctis Mastery Skills

When you compare the Hero Skills to the Mastery Skills of the same name, you’ll see that a lot of them have higher boosts. Since Mastery Skills apply no matter which hero you have active, this allows you to get the most use out of higher hero levels. So, if there is another recent hero that has a special skill that you can get more use out of, you’ll still benefit from Kingsglaive Noctis. 

You’ll also find skills that not only increase the number of items in Magitek Chests but also give extra loot when you open them. Use these to catch up with a lot of newer content than you could before.

Guild Adventure Hall

It’s official! Iris has been knocked down as the top attacker in the Dungeon! With 5,000 Base Attack as well as a skill that offers a 4M% Physical Damage Bonus, Kingsglaive Noctis hits harder than any other hero. Iris still is going to be extremely helpful since she also heals up to 20 players who are running with you. Although Kingsglaive Noctis has a chance to boost other Link Strike attacks for 15% more damage. If your prey is killed faster, who needs to be healed? 

Royal Dark Stats

These new stats are a way to change the number system that we are currently using. This will make numbers so much easier to read and understand. Hopefully, this will be implemented on stats all across the game!

100% Dark Royal Troop Attack is equivalent to 100T% Dark Troop Attack.

In the meantime, we might need to use a little bit of mental math to figure out what our true stats are. After we get used to it, it will be a lot easier to compare numbers. Let’s leave the letters out of our math. This is a WAR GAME, not Algebra! 

Let’s dig deeper into these Royal Dark Stats:

• Applies to ALL Dark Troops.
• They increase the exact stat that is named, Royal Dark Troop Attack increases Dark Troop Attack, etc.
• Any Dark Troop stat does NOT apply to Royal Dark Troop stats, for example, Dark Cripple HP will not apply to Royal Dark Troop HP.
• 100% Royal Dark Troop stat is the same as 100T% Dark Troop stat.
  • 1% is equal to 1T%. So while you are getting used to this new stat type, just add a T to the number (or multiply by 1,000,000,000).

Most importantly, the pre-existing Dark Troop stats are still just as effective as they have always been. This is NOT a reset in strength or power. It’s simply a way to read numbers a lot easier than we have been.

Is Kingsglaive Noctis Right For You?

Besides the combat stat increases, Kingsglaive Noctis has a lot to offer. Even if you’re not quite up to being an elite combatant, you could probably still use the new Dark Monster Slayer Gear. Leveling up this new version of Noctis will allow you to craft more Magitek Chests and get this gear set for free. This new gear is going to be the way to make hero levels relevant when it comes to getting the most MP! Check out my Hero MP Guide for more ways to get more MP for your buck. Unlocking and leveling up Kingsglaive Noctis will be the only way to attack the new Ruthless Monsters when they are released in the future.

Conclusion

Whether you are a seasoned combat player or you grind events like nobody’s business, Kingsglaive Noctis has the skills you need to succeed. If you don’t usually adopt new content at release, then, by all means, wait for a good pack! I usually wait until the day where the new hero is the spotlight in sales. This BOGO 50% usually has both Guild Adventure Hall abilities as well as MP Carryover. But please be on the lookout for those players who have the new stuff right off the bat, because you’re not going to want them to catch you off guard.
