@Pseudolonewolf: I got Mardek to level 99 while using a full item-finding party to try to rustle up a Mahogany Staff, you f***ing sadist. Mardek also now has enough suits to attend a funeral for each monster he's ever slain, and not have to wear any suit twice.
Otherwise, fantabulous game.
@stales1: max shield regen & shield mods, use wave gun or other piercing ammo to get through the enemies he spawns, dodge the blue ball shots at all costs, and don't get hit by the big laser beam.
Stat bonuses are calculated as such after level 20:
Stat max: (Character level * 3) + 15
Gun%: Offense / 3.15
Secondary%: Agility / 3.15
Accuracy%: Agility * 10 / Stat max
Crit%: 5 + 20 * Luck / Stat max
CritDmg%: 25 + 75 * Intel / Stat max
Evade%: Agility * 10 / Stat max
Overdrive%: Defense / 3.15
Health%: Defense / 3.15
Reduction%: Defense * 10 / Stat max
Shields%: Intel / 3.15
Regen: (30 * Intel / 315) + 7.5
Item%: 5 * Luck / Stat max + 5
Speed Save%: 100 * Agility / Stat max
EXP Boost%: Intel / 3.15
Moola Boost%: Luck / 3.15
Exp formula: Next level = current level * current level * 1000
**NOTE** If you have the Defensive Shield skill, your defense adds to regen in the same way that Intel does - ie. your regen becomes:
(30 * Intel / 315) + 7.5 + (30 * Defense / 315) + 7.5
which simplifies to:
(30 / 315) * (Intel + Defense) + 15
**NOTE** If you have the Power Critical skill, add 25% to your CritDmg%
Thumbs up so people can see this.
