Article: Amistr is the best base for a Homunculus but also the slowest to level and feed due to its lack of offensive skills. If you have a lot of time in your hands, you’re well-advised to get Amistr. Leveling may take time but well worth the wait and effort.  Amistr is a sturdily-built, tank-type Homunculus suitable for classes that have low defenses, such as wizards and healers. Amistr eats Zargon. It has these four skills:   Castling. Instantly switches the location of Amistr and its master, causing the monster to change target and focus on Amistr instead.  Amistr Bulwark. Temporarily increases Amistr and its master's VIT.  Adamantium Skin. Increases Amistr's Max HP, HP recovery rate, and defense.  Blood Lust. Temporarily increases Amistr's ATK, plus a chance to leech 20% of the damage as HP for each hit.   Amistr Bulwark is very useful for MVP later on in the game. It boosts your VIT and even gives valuable defense for PVP. Filir is the fastest-leveling Homunculus in the game. Its downside is its lack of VIT. It’s quick to level, yes, but it sure dies a lot. If you don’t have time to level your Homunculus, Filir will be a good choice, but don’t expect it to withstand fierce attacks.  Filir is a dodge/high-ASPD type, meaning it has a high-dodge and high-attack speed. Filir eats Garlet. It also has four skills:   Moonlight.  Commands Filir to repeatedly peck at its target.  Flitting. Temporarily increases Filir's ATK and ASPD.  Accelerated Flight. Temporarily increases Filir's flee rate.  S.B.R.44. Commands Filir to deal massive damage on its target at the cost of its Intimacy. Vanil is the in-between solution to Amistr and Filir. This Homunculus offers high VIT and HP, and has a decent offensive skill. However, it comes with  a lower burst attack compared to Filir, which makes for slower leveling in certain situations. Nevertheless, Vanil can be powerful and has skills that can throw random elements at enemies.  Vanilmirth is a magic-type Homunculus. It eats Scell. Vanilmirth’s four skills are:   Caprice. Can cast magical attacks randomly, such as Fire Bolt, Cold Bolt, Lightning Bolt, and Earth Spike. The level of each one can be affected by Caprice’s skill level.  Chaotic Blessings. Can cast Heal on a random target selected from among enemies, the master, or itself. Heal can restore the HP of the Undead instead of inflicting damage.  Instruction Change. Increases Vanil's STR and INT. Also increases its master's chance of successfully brewing potions.  Self-Destruction. Commands Vanilmirth to self-destruct, inflicts splashed damage proportionate to Vanil's Max HP that pierces the defense, and ignores the flee rate of the enemies in range. If the Homunculus successfully destroys itself, the intimacy will be reduced to 1, i.e., Hate with Passion. Not worthy to be used as a base since it has no practical use, Lif is mostly a novelty character. It’s useless in battles due to having low attack, having no burst attacks, and having a weak Heal skill.  Lif is a support-type of Homunculus. It eats Pet Food. Lif has these skills:   Healing Hands. Restores its master's HP with a method that mimics the Acolyte's Heal skill. Each cast will require a Condensed Red Potion.  Urgent Escape. Temporarily increases Lif’s and her master's movement speeds.  Brain Surgery. Increases Lif's max SP, SP Recovery, and the effectiveness of its healing hands.  Mental Charge. Changes Lif so that her attacks are based on MATK instead of ATK for a short duration. This also increases VIT by 30 and INT by 20 per skill level.
