Hi all, it would be nice if someone posts a guide on when and where you should activate your hyper stones in Frost.
Either how to hyper if you are doing only one frost a day = using all your 10 activations and maximising the XP, or if you want to spam multiples frosts a day = minimizing the number of activations.
Thx in advance

    The points on the map are the places you want to hyper if you are only doing 1 FC a day. For multiple FC, I usually hyper the pull before the slash boss then once in exp room right before boss, assuming you are doing harpies>boss>pull>heads.

    Depends on how much time you want to use on your hypers. I only used 5 hypers to get from 95-100.

    I Hypered:
    1. Claw Boss before big room
    2. Boss in big room
    - Option to leave on from there to do pull and heads
    3. Boss after big room
    4. Phoenix
    5. Holeen (not the soul or body just Holeen)

    That gives you 5 activations per run and I did another run the same way right after. If I only did bosses I used about 50 seconds and gained; at lvl 95 12-15%, 96 11-14%, 97 10-13%, 98 9-12%, 99 8-11%.

    At your level that set up gives you around 40% for 50 seconds of use. The numbers will obviously go up if you leave the hypers on for the big room pull and heads but in my opinion 20% more (on top of 40%) wasn't worth the 4-5 minute use of hyper time. Once again this all depends on how much you can afford in hypers.

    cheers :)

    Wow thanks for your input, only 5 hypers from 95 to 100 that's freaking cheap >.>

    8 to 11% at level 99 => is it for one run or two? If it is for one, it would be awesome lol b:victory

    I would really be considering your strategy, even if it means going until Holeen, because its so cheap lol 50 sec per run wtf lol>.>

    That guide's a bit outdated since now you can only activate 10 times per day.

    TBH their 2-3, 4-5, 8-9 and 11-12 can be all be merged without pausing since they're right next to each other, ijs. For the extra duration of 5 minutes on your hyper, you'll fit all 10 pauses in on 1 run.

    That's per run so 2x that per day for me, took me 2 1/2 weeks ish to go from 95-100 with only spending 1.5m on hypers.

    That's why I said to use that map if he's only doing 1 FC per day. I usually only activate twice each FC and once if I'm being cheap.

    Just wanted to mention that I think the Phoenix is actually pretty meh EXP.
    Better to use the activation on the dragoons (should you pull them all) or the pull just before the SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME SLASH boss.

    EXP for bosses is based on their HP (yes that means lunar claws & G13 nirvana claws are bad in FC). I was turtling from 95-100 and it was far to difficult to judge grouping all the goonz up into one to hyper on them instead of just using 20 seconds to hyper on a boss.
