[Renewal] Geneticist: Homunculus S Decision

[RaimSuriom]

Trying to decide on a Homunculus/Homunculus S combination strictly for PvE/MvP. I need to base it around general farming for ingredients, but also to gear an Archbishop and Royal Guard of mine. Additionally, it would be nice if it had good skills for AFK farming as the server allows it.

I know I have narrowed down my base Homunculus decision to either Amistr or Filir. Amistr gets the upper hand in AFK leveling and MvPing due to its Def boost and Bloodlust I assume, however, Filir would give it an extremely powerful low cost attack and ATK boost skill for general leveling/farming. I need clarification on that though. Is Moonlight 660% ATK, or 660% ATK x 3? If its not the latter, then maybe I do need to choose Eleanor instead of Eira, since that boost in damage would overshadow anything I could do as a melee Geneticist.

Regarding Homunculus S, I am completely lost. A few skills for each seem to get my attention, but I would like some feedback from people who have actually used them. Eira's Overboost seems like it would be absolutely devastatingly powerful in farming/leveling, as well as gaining Intimacy. I have not done enough reason to find out if Eleanor's combos are even worth the SP cost compared to just using Moonlight. There is also Beyeri for his survival and ASPD boosting skills for better AFK farming. Finally, I hear a lot of people mention Dieter for his AoE skills, but there are literally no videos of it in use.

Amistr/Beyeri? Filir/Beyeri? Something entirely different? Trying to find the best synergy.

Edit: Taking a lot of interest in Eira due to Overboost. Thinking of all the weapons that could benefit from the fixed ASPD. Doom Slayer, Elemental Sword, Naught Sieger. Narrowed down my choice between Filir/Eira and Amistr/Eleanor. Which would you rather farm alongside?

as far as I know, the homun S is still somewhat bugged on private servers?

my experience with pre-renewal homuns...
to find the elusive, teleporting, and weaker mvp, and tanking is not an issue, use lif for the speed
amistr will always die quickly, no dodge, its defense just doesnt matter or help that much. castling is fun and all, but the monsters I think don't change target when you use it
filir is a squishier, lower dmg version of vanil. flee is powerful for homuns but the bonuses are not always on, moonlight has slightly less ?bugged? atkrange than normal atks (2 vs 3 cell).
vanil can take more flee ignoring hits/spells than filir, more dmg, and is actually useful in pvp if you do that

always take max homun resurrection skill, its gonna die for you alot, and high level allows you to rest right after resurrection
