Worship of Mani is best reserved for gunners, as dexterity and perception are suited for ranged combat, and gun boosts, well, guns.

Beyond gunfire, strategy bonuses can reduce damage taken during auto-combat. This damage reduction benefit extends to pets fighting alongside you, enabling a playstyle where you overwhelm enemies with a mechanized army when combined with the machine upgrades discussed later. | |||
While Mani's combat niche may be considered narrow, he does grant several generic dungeoneering bonuses to spot hidden, appraisal, strategy, disarm trap and lock picking.

The android is a strong contender for an offensive pet with its triple ranged attack and ability to reboot. Compared to magic attackers such as Izpalt 's Exile and Kizuami's White Vixen, the android's advantages are that its damage is not reduced by the enemy's faith-bonus elemental resistance and that its guns are highly customizable through '''[[Elin:Weapons#Modification tools|modification tools]]'''. Compared to Lulwy's Black Angel, which is also a shooting attacker, the android has the advantage of its high number of shots and durability, while the Black Angel has the advantage of its versatility in using obstruction and auxiliary skills and its explosive power with boosts | The android is a strong contender for an offensive pet with its triple ranged attack and ability to reboot. Its machine body is unaffected by poison, bleeding, or dimming effects, but are vulnerable to lightning damage.
