I assume that my information is right that phantom cubic reduces pdef by the same amount has hex?

Another thing for oly which cubics should be used for sk:

Phantom, Smart and Vampiric or should one of these be replaced by on of the others?

hmm i rly dont know about the reducements stats but i surely know that smart cubic is irreplaceble...why?Cuz it has the same efect as aqua cubic and it has chance to block debuffs so for oly always use smart cubic

In Oly you should use:
Smart, Phantom and Viper.

And Phantom does:
-23% P. Atk.
-23% P. Def.
-23% Atk. Spd.

Same as effect 3 (max effect) of Weakness/Power Break, Hex and Wind Shackle.

I'd rather use vampiric, its a nice nuke and gives some HP which is always usefull. Hmmm but now I remember that u play kamael+ so if poison isnt bugged it makes more damage, so well, my advise is to try both, but smart and phantom are a MUST

Does somebody know what other effects smart cubic gives, besides removing debuffs?

against fighters i am sure phantom is a must, however against mages? use viper, smart and poison cubic since you can try hex yourself?

The problem with the Vampiric is that it's hard to see it triggering (at least I didn't see it often), and on oly, the opponents shall have a high M. Def. so it will not cause too much damage, not as Viper could do, and it lands like hell xD


DoT attack.

edit_


No, use Phantom, it's one more chance to land -P. Def. and the chance to land is way higher your Hex.

viper = poison o.O

Depends on the opponent. If you're vs a th, you won't need any debuff cancelling.

But the Smart cubic has also a DoT Attack Icarus.

bluff has stuning effect
thats a debuff imo
and imo it could be canceled/cured

+the powah dot attack
phantom could be usefull vs mages to..it will passively hex the mage while u beat the shi7 out of him + if there is necro with a summon that rocks even more

remember dot cubics are no1 when fighting high hp classes
when i dueled with a destro i had no other choice
i was just runing around anda waiting for the cubics to drain/poison/debuff him

if u r good runer u will manage to cause more dmg than ur oponent and u will win:)

Yeah, but imo dot vs a dagger isn't that important.
I'd go for vampiric cubic anytime. Bluff's stun is a debuff, but its land rate sucks bad.
