===How to Train Expertise===
You need a reliable Healing demon since your HP will be basically drained per skill use.
* Use a cheap close-range weapon you can purchase from the NPC, [[Sword of Etude]], or [[Blade of Etude]] to raise Expertise.
*Unequip all your gear/weapon and hit the [[Slime]]s on [[Virtual Battle]] room.
* Ideal training area with quick spawn locations are:
*If you have [[Retaliation|Lord of Armor]], make good use of it.
*# Slime in the Virtual Battle.
**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).
*# Lost Hua Po in Suginami. [X15:Y21] or [X16:Y19].
*Also for those with Blade/Sword of Etude and Lord of Armor (and healing demon, for convenience), and wants to raise Attack/Rush/Spin further...
*# Kadoma in Nakano. [X14:Y19].
**There's the option of opening an instance of Shibuya Quartz (Bronze), then finding an [[Aello]] to reflect Slash off.  
*# Apsaras in Shinagawa. [X22:Y17] between 6:00 to 18:00.
**Shibuya Quartz (Silver), 25 Altered Magnetites = Your own private training ground for grinding spin.
*# 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.
***Non-aggressive Accomplished Ocypetes/Aellos (if you use Etude) will spawn if you hit the first switch there. 
*#* 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.
* Start a (Need [[Hacked Chip A]]) Home III hack run (Newbie Demon Buster).
*#* The COMP hack is a nice private location without anyone interrupting your training.
** Before starting, get a junk weapon (like Machete or any cheap disposable weapon you found lying around) and use it until it loses all its durability (but don't unequip it)
* 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.
** Bring at least 20 - 40 Agi and Bufu stones for Kodama if you solo.
** At boss room, unequip the rest of your gear (except your 0 dura weapon of course) and start spinning at Oberon. He only uses counter, but since you will have a broken weapon + no gears on, the damage will be pretty low, thus allowing you to train your expertise. Try to lock him in a corner with some High Pixies to heal him for less run around.
*** An alternative to the option above, is to equip Sword of Etude (but with full durability) instead of the junk weapon, use Lord of Armor and do the same with Oberon and High Pixies. '''DO NOT''' let the Sword of Etude reach 0/0 durability, since the bonus will not work then.
