Staff or scythe

Like each of the other characters in Vindictus, Evie has two weapons with different skills and focuses. This guide is intended to help you decide which of them will better serve you.

Staff Appearance: A simple tool used to cast devastating magic in defense of one's allies. Advantages: party healing, ranged attacks, casting save mitigates the clumsiness of focus, main attacks do powerful AOE damage. Disadvantages: no melee attacks, heavy damage attacks are slow and clumsy, low survivability Advice: This style is more useful in a party where you have four times more players to heal and allies can tank for your slow spells. Even if she deals no damage, a staff Evie can be invaluable to a party for a difficult mission because she can help them in ways no other party member can. Ice attacks can also provide short but precious openings for melee attackers. On a less utilitarian note, the irony of killing vampire mages with fire and lighting magic can be quite amusing.

Scythe Appearance: An elegant, deadly weapon used to cut one's foes into pieces and to focus the occasional Advantages: Blink is a powerful evasion skill, shred wimps and run rings around bosses, a bound wisp can deal additional damage and take pressure off the player, still has a healing skill for just you, high survivability Disadvantages: less unique(role can be filled by a Fiona, twin sword Vella, or cestus Karok), poor timing can kill more easily, no ranged attacks or party healing, must balance STR and INT instead of specializing. Advice: This style is best for a casual soloists who does not enjoy the challenge of using focus in close quarters. It is also good for players who enjoy tanking more than the more slow-paced support role of a staff user.

I hope this guide has helped at least a few players decide which weapon they want to use. Remember: Vindictus is supposed to be fun, so the best weapon and style is the one you enjoy the most.
