Beo Primary Mechanic: Redlining

Redlining is a major gameplay mechanic that involves keeping yourself as close to 1 HP as possible to maximize the "Valhallan Dissonace" passive. You and your pet will begin gaining --% to all stats begining at half HP.

Ward Absorption is one of if not the most important things for redlining. You'll be mainly relying on the skill Divine Bastion (from Atlas/Athena Vanguard) in the begining to grant 100% ward absorption. That means that your ward essentially becomes your HP bar while your real HP bar can sit down at 1 granting yourself +50%, and your pet 110% all stats.

Accessing and Maintaining Redline:

The main/optimal way to access your redline will be using skills such as "Double Edge" (-10% max hp) and "Quad Edge" (-40% max hp). (Note: These can kill you if used at <10% / <40% HP respectivley.) If you have a uneven number for your Max HP using quad edge and double edge twice will leave you at exactly 1HP

Status effects will be your biggest concern when attmpting to maintain your redline, as although with 100% absorbtion your ward will block all incoming damage, it will not prevent status effect damage as it is applied directly to your HP. The two main ways to avoid status effects will be utilizing gear with "Status Protection" / "Status Immuinty". With status protection only providing a chance to not be affected by a status effect it's highly recommend to opt for status immunity from gear such as "Ymir Vritra Charm" and "Briny Pendent".

(visit "Gear Sheet" for more advanced info on when to use what gear) just not rn as it hasn't been made yet... :)

Avoiding "DoT" Damage:

If you have a status effect or a damage-over-time (DoT) effect like Berserk, and performing an action would cause you to die, one common strategy is to use healing items like the "Small Mana Potion." Using an item prevents damage from status effects, allowing you to maintain buffs like Berserk while staying at 1 HP.
