===How to Train Expertise===
*Unequip all your gear/weapon and hit the [[Slime]]s on [[Virtual Battle]] room.
+
* Use a cheap close-range weapon you can purchase from the NPC, [[Sword of Etude]], or [[Blade of Etude]] to raise Expertise.
*If you have [[Retaliation|Lord of Armor]], make good use of it.
+
* Ideal training area with quick spawn locations are:
**Go to [[Shibuya]], find an [[Ocypete]] and hit it non-stop (or until your incense is done, in case you're using one). It's a good idea to bring a healer demon too (since you would basically get reflected every-time you use blunt attacks).
+
*# Slime, Gaki, or Will O'Wisp in the Virtual Battle.
*Also for those with Blade/Sword of Etude and Lord of Armor (and healing demon, for convenience), and wants to raise Attack/Rush further...
+
*# Lost Hua Po in Suginami. [X15:Y21] or [X16:Y19].
**There's the option of opening an instance of Shibuya Quartz (Bronze), then finding an [[Aello]] to reflect Slash off.  
+
*# Kodama in Nakano. [X14:Y19].
**Shibuya Quartz (Silver), 25 Altered Magnetites = Your own private training ground for grinding attack.
+
*# Apsaras in Shinagawa. [X22:Y17] between 6:00 to 18:00.
***Non-aggressive Accomplished Ocypetes/Aellos (if you use Etude) will spawn if you hit the first switch there. 
+
*# High Pixie in Home III [[COMP-Hack Dungeon 1-A| COMP Hack 1-A]]. They use AoE (Area of Effect) healing spells to heal each other and if 1 is defeated, another High Pixie will respawn quickly.
* Start a (Need [[Hacked Chip A]]) Home III hack run (Newbie Demon Buster).
+
*#* You'll need 20 ~ 40 Agi and Bufu Stones for the 2nd room if you are alone. The Kodama can be damaged with elemental spells only.
** Bring at least 20 - 40 Agi and Bufu stones for Kodama if you solo.
+
*#* The COMP hack is a nice private location without anyone interrupting your training.
** At boss room, unequip all your gears/weapon (especially if your damage is high) and simply hit the High Pixies instead of Oberon himself. As they spam heal on themselves, you won't kill them so easily, thus giving you the chance to train all you want.
+
* Alternately, you can raise the Expertise without killing if you have "[[Retaliation|Lord of Armor]]" and any demon with a decent healing spell. Go to Shibuya and find either an [[Ocypete]] or [[Aello]]. Punch Ocypete to repel Blunt or slash Aello with either Blade of Etude or Sword of Etude to repel Slash. This method is best if un-equip everything except for Expertise gain. Lord of Armor gives the player null knockback therefore you can continuously to hit the bird without being pushed back.
