Dragonewt Spam (DPS) Minstrel Guide
Welcome everyone to my first ever guide to one of my most favourite classes, Minstrel!!!! (This was originally an explanation on my build for a friend but she told me I did good in explaining and should make it into full guide) So I have been playing as a DPS Minstrel SDC build for 6-8 months on english iruna and I am in love of what this class is able to accomplish solo and party wise. At first I went minstrel only for levels >.< until I began to understand dragonewt song and how it’s damage varies by my damage and each pt members damage. Soon later, I decided to restat to full damage.
(Since its my first time making a full guide, if you find anything odd or any mistakes, or something seems confusing please feel free to correct me)
This guide is all about information and setups to becoming a dragonewt spam minstrel. In this guide you will find:
↳Being a DPS Minstrel and Dragonewt Song + Skills
↳Stats Builds Pros/Cons
↳Equipment
↳Abilities
↳Apostolia
↳Useful Pet Skills + Tips n Tricks
❖❖❖ Being a DPS Minstrel ❖❖❖
Minstrels can be one of the best supporters in a party as well as one of the best damagers in the party. DPS Minstrel builds focus on using dragonwet song to maximize the party’s damage and to fight alongside with party members while rebuffing in intervals by using phrases to change equipments quickly.
To become a minstrel, all you need to do is to take the quest from the merchant at Elban (Level 100 required) , it requires you to get 1 fearful evil eye, 1 coralite, 1 star hunter petal, and 1 goddess tear.
Although you only need to be level 100 to be a minstrel, I do not recommend being a DPS minstrel until 220+ why? First the main damaging skill for this type of minstrel, dragnet song unlocks at level 150. Second, soloing is tough until you maxed all three chosen stats. Third, DPS Minstrel builds can be quite expensive. Last, to be able to play efficiently in boss fights/farms, you need knowledge about all different types of classes and which songs will benefit the party best.
————————— Fact about Dragonewt Song —————————
■ Dragonewt song is based off of atk and crt damage not matk
■ It’s not an aoe or pt aoe skill ( It only hits one target :3 )
■ In a party, each member will get their own damage delt from dragnet
————————— Minstrel Skills —————————
❖❖❖ Stat Builds ❖❖❖
There are many types of builds for a DPS Minstrel, in this guide, the following builds will be focused on:
(All the builds here include DEX because DEX raises attack and shortens skill delay for dragonewt song)
■ ACD (Agi Crt Dex) / ASD (Agi Str Dex)
Pros: Survival and Low Skill Delay
Cons: Low Hp and Damage is not as high as the SDC type
■ SDC (Str Dex Crt)
Pros: Very high damage and Low Skill Delay
Cons: little to no survival and relies on consumables/pet skills to stay alive in solos
Moreover - Agi for survival, Dex for skill delay to spam dragonwet and song rebuffs, Crt/Str for higher damage
1 Str gives 1-3 atk depending on weapon
1 Dex gives 1-2 atk depending on weapon
Crt increases critical chance and damage
1 Agi gives 1 evasion and 1-2.5 atk depending on weapon
❖❖❖ Recommended Equipment ❖❖❖
(Minstrel can use almost any equipment but here are the ones I tried and worked for these two builds along with the xtals below the equipment set)
Generally, for a DPS Minstrel, you should carry no less than 3 sets of equipment when you are farming with a pt or soloing. In this guide I will be covering:
■ Skill Delay Set / Hate Set
■ Damage Set
■ Heal Set
■ HP Set (OPTIONAL)
■ MP Set (OPTIONAL)

Explanation/Notes ~ These are the equipment I have tried for this build, so this is just a sample of all the others available in game. The SDC minstrel type uses mainly bows to maximize damage. SDC minstrels are capable of hitting very high damage per second, but survival may be hard with no agi or vit. (Apostiolia lines/setup and pet skill can increase evasion)
Test I dave done:
Swords DPS Minstrel - It works too and works well with dual blow and increases survival since VIT was increased from myrica+sword
Nail DPS Minstrel - >.< I don’t recommend this for the SDC type because of you have no AGI, no VIT, and are close to the target

◇ Veleno Rosa [Dual Blow Sword Build] - Poison+10% Delay -0.1sec, Additional attack Chance, Dmg up if poisoned (Consumes autoskill)
Explanation/Notes ~ Again this is just some of the equipment that will fit this build. With the ACD/ASD build, you can use bows, swords, and claws. With points in agi, you will be able to survive more in solos. Equipments with +atk % and +critical damage % are often used
❖❖❖ Abilities ❖❖❖

▲ Shelk - AGI + 5 Evasion + 15% Absolute & Magic Eva + 5% Counter On Evasion + 5%
▲ Death Chills - Hate - 25%
Notes ~ There is a varity of ai crystas you can choose from. For a DPS minstrel, it is best to use attack and criitical ai for more damage from dragonewt song
————————— AL Setup —————————
There are mainly 2 types of ai setups you can make for your al page, if you have your second page you can have both. One is full damage and one is evasion.
Full Damage:
This will give both damage and some evasion, good for SDC, ACD, and ASD
Effects: Absolute, melee and magic evasion + atk, melee, and melee pierce
Evasion:
This will give a lot of evasion, mainly for SDC types on second apostolia page for better survival in solos
Effects: Absolute, Melee and Magic evasion
❖❖❖ Pet Skills + Tips n Tricks ❖❖❖
————————— Pet Skills —————————
❧ Evasion
❧ All Around
❧ Quick Turn
❧ Dual Blow
❧ High Cycle
❧ Blood Hit
————————— Tips n Tricks —————————
Phases:
Recently new settings called phrases has finally been implemented in the english version of iruna. With phrases, minstrels can change their full equipment with one click. This makes the life of a DPS minstrel much easier as you can switch sets as you solo or in pt.
Yogurt :
I find this consumable very helpful in those bosses where they cancel MP and drop HP to 1 (sometimes even erases all buffs). Yogurt recovers 500HP and 500MP instantly which is enough to play a song if your hp is 5000 or below (Usually play dream song first as it reduces MPC to 1)
Status Ailments:
Carrying Vaccines for blind and poison is a good idea in party and solo. Blind will cause your damage to decrease greatly and since there is no VIT points, poison will probably kill you very fast.

Explanation/Notes ~ These are the equipment I have tried for this build, so this is just a sample of all the others available in game. The SDC minstrel type uses mainly bows to maximize damage. SDC minstrels are capable of hitting very high damage per second, but survival may be hard with no agi or vit. (Apostiolia lines/setup and pet skill can increase evasion)
Test I dave done:
Swords DPS Minstrel - It works too and works well with dual blow and increases survival since VIT was increased from myrica+sword
Nail DPS Minstrel - >.< I don’t recommend this for the SDC type because of you have no AGI, no VIT, and are close to the target

Explanation/Notes ~ Again this is just some of the equipment that will fit this build. With the ACD/ASD build, you can use bows, swords, and claws. With points in agi, you will be able to survive more in solos. Equipments with +atk % and +critical damage % are often used

Notes ~ There is a varity of ai crystas you can choose from. For a DPS minstrel, it is best to use attack and criitical ai for more damage from dragonewt song
————————— AL Setup —————————
There are mainly 2 types of ai setups you can make for your al page, if you have your second page you can have both. One is full damage and one is evasion.
Full Damage:
This will give both damage and some evasion, good for SDC, ACD, and ASD
Effects: Absolute, melee and magic evasion + atk, melee, and melee pierce
Evasion:
This will give a lot of evasion, mainly for SDC types on second apostolia page for better survival in solos
Effects: Absolute, Melee and Magic evasion

Phases:
Recently new settings called phrases has finally been implemented in the english version of iruna. With phrases, minstrels can change their full equipment with one click. This makes the life of a DPS minstrel much easier as you can switch sets as you solo or in pt.
Yogurt :
I find this consumable very helpful in those bosses where they cancel MP and drop HP to 1 (sometimes even erases all buffs). Yogurt recovers 500HP and 500MP instantly which is enough to play a song if your hp is 5000 or below (Usually play dream song first as it reduces MPC to 1)
Status Ailments:
Carrying Vaccines for blind and poison is a good idea in party and solo. Blind will cause your damage to decrease greatly and since there is no VIT points, poison will probably kill you very fast.

❁ This guide is not quite finished yet because I still need to test the stat builds and equipments for ISD/ICD, IAD and see if they fit in the DPS category for a minstrel ❁
