Category:Animator

Animators are items equipped in the Ranged Slot slot that allow Puppetmasters to control their Automatons through the use of Maneuvers.

All Animators are only usable by the Puppetmaster set as Main Job, with the only exception being the base Animator at level 1 given for completing the unlock quest for pup, No Strings Attached.

Different animators have different hidden effects, but it has not been conclusively proven that they impact Automaton behavior (AI) or have effects beyond those listed on the pages.

• The exception and example to this would be animators with a "II" after them cause the automaton to stand back out of combat distance.

All Frames have a Modifier on themselves that increases a different amount as you equip stronger Animator's. After level 99, the increase to HP and MP remain static, only increasing with the Animator quality. These following values are only very rough approximations of the initial base numbers, starting at 106.

• • Harlequin Frame: HP+50, MP+161
  • Valoredge Frame: HP+60
  • Sharpshot Frame: HP+45
  • Stormwalker Frame: HP+40, MP+193
