What about lvl 90 & 95 weapons if you have used material synthesis and the stats are maxed on weapon & armor?? Will 3* 4* & 5*increase them?

Only base stats of the item are affected, and in case of S3 items these are stats of combined materials like Essence, Solid, Smooth etc.

2) Stun in party order when he's going to break the thing in mid <-- Dullahan will begin marching to the center after you hit bar 7

According to our experience so far, he can go towards the box around 8.5 like Havan does, being immune to stunsduring this animation. I suggest using stun after x8 begins, and depending on team damage - keep it till x7, then the box will get destroyed regardless.

4) Someone needs to keep ghost busy - away from Dullahan <-- person has to attack the ghost

To be more clear - constant attacking isn't required , as damage cannot be dealt. It's all to take the ghost's attention.

6) At x4 he will go mid to cast blizzard - back off <-- Dullahan will do this twice: at bars 3 and 1

Indeed. He will use powerful attack, ending with red wave like Eochaid (ebola/yoohad) does when he is about to jump. As of now unsure if stuns can be used to advantage.



The ghosts seemingly are considered as projectiles during the blizzard, since I can reflect them.

Enhancement is a process that attempts to upgrade item's enhancement rank, increasing it's stats. The service is offered by Ferghus in Colhen, but can be also accessed from "Enhancement" button in Battle Inventory. Prerequisite to the feature is a minimum of 60 level and finished tutorial "Gallagher's Subordinate" story. Only weapons, armors and shields can be enhanced. Enhancement rank grants bonuses to the item, depending on item type, including item's maximum durability.

This process requires enhancement stones with adequate grade to the item's level, also as enhancement elixirs at certain enhancement ranks and gold fee. The requirements, success chance and penalty on failure depends on item level grade and enhancement rank. Along with enhancement rank, requirements increase and success chance decreases.

Enhancement process can fail, which can decrease the item's base maximum durability, decrease the enhancement rank, reset it to none, or destroy the item. Destroyed items will return some of the item's ingredients/parts, and some enhancement stones used in the process. The process can be cancelled before and in middle of it with no consequences, and can be assisted by various protective runes or similar.

Please note that the item will become bound upon reaching +9 rank or higher.

Following images do not contain everything - click on corresponding spreadsheet/table link for full list.

Important notes:
• Provided enhancement success chances are approximate and can be incorrect, as they cannot be checked in-game.
• After Rise update, items below level 90 can be enhanced up to +12 only, so higher enhancement for these were made earlier.
• Changing main composition material (weapon or armor essence) to other rarity tier (in example: from superior(purple) to rare (orange)) will reset enhancement level, but not the other improvements. This applies only to Season 3 items (90+ level), as only these items use the composition system.
• 90 or higher level items must be composed of full rare (item name must be orange) material to enhance them to +13 or higher.
