how can androids and hunters

[K_I_R_E_E_K]

You must just be talking about Dreamcast versions because on Gamecube and Blue Burst the amount of healing items an Android can carry tends to be more than enough considering high android health and regen ability. If not you just level up a bit more. Plus, consider that this is an online game, a healer would be nice at times.

Considering blades, they're helpful more often than handguns. My level 129 HUnewearl does about 400 damage with a strong attack on the Caves (25%) but her Asukas do about 250 a weak hit, for five hits normally.

(s/s/s red handgun=1200)
(s/s/s asuka=2500)

and that's without percents. The Dreamcast was more a Rangers game, the Gamecube is more a Hunters game.

well, % make a huge diference in dreamcast, not even a double cannon can compare to my handgun or mechs, my dagger with 35% does less damage then my red handgun 40%.
but the blades are simply more dangerous, with guns i can think before i atack , i look to the criatures, i shot them, and then i walk to see if there is rare items, then i go to the next room, i do not walk like crazy in the room with a saber or a sword, too dangerous.
