What are Marionettes?
Marionettes are the Puppets you use to fight with, They have their own HP and "Max and Min damage" as well as Defense/Protection/Magic defense. They also use 70% of your charature's screen damage. Their appearance changes as their Respective masteries hit higher ranks(Ranks 9 and 5). They also have their own unique skill animations.

Like said before, Marionettes have their own Max and Min damage and that they use 70% of your character's screen damage.
Like said before, Marionettes have their own Max and Min damage and that they use 70% of your character's screen damage.
Example: You have 300Max damage, your Marionette with gain 210 of it.
Marionette Damage, of cource, gains maximum damage from The masteries, titles and enchants.
Control bars get max damage from Strength and Dexterity. Every 3.5 Str or Dex will add +1 Maximum damage to Control bars while every 5 Str and Dex will add +1 Minimum damage to Control bars.
Example: You have 300Max damage with the Control bars, which is +210max to your Marionette so... 210 + 190[SIZE="1"](Marionette mastery)[/SIZE] + 55[SIZE="1"](Control mastery)[/SIZE] = 455 Damage on your Marionette
There are four different types of control bars: Basic, Engraved, Jeweled and Demonic.
• Basic Controls bars can be bought at Huw for 10,000 gold.
• Engraved Control bars was obtainable from the Puppeteer's talent event, bought off from players.
• Jeweled Control bars can be bought from Commerce Imps for 1.2mil ducats.
• Demonic Handles are made with Rank1 Handicraft.

Wire skills are the skills you can use with Control bars that don't need puppets, they're mainly support for party play.

[Image: http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/images/3/3f/Wire_Pull.png]
Wire Pull[Offensive]This is a unique skill, with this skill you can "Pull" your target to you. After the target lands, I'll have a moment of stun, so it'll be open for any attack such as Smash. This could be useful in party play as well, If your party mate is being attacked by a monster, you can pull it away! If you attempt to Wire pull a monster that is running out of your range, It'll fail to pull, keep this in mind. If you have good timing, you can pull monsters that are attacking with ranged or loading Magic.

Puppet's Snare[Support]This skill allows you to immobilizes an enemy for a set amount of time however, you cannot move or attack as well. It also deals small amounts of damage over time while the target is wired. These are called "Tics" while happen every 3 seconds.
This skill is strongly for party play, but, it has a nice use for solonogi, too!
While snaring the target you can freely summon a Marionette and you can also stop Archers and Mages while they are loading their skills(Comes in very handy in Peaca!).
After the skill's animation is done, the monster will revive Detachment damage, which causes them to be knocked down.
• A notable monster that is snarable are Blinkers.

Act skills are the main skills of this move set, used by your Marionettes.
[Image: http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/images/6/6b/Act_1-_Inciting_Incident.png]
Act 1: Inciting Incident[Offensive]This skill allows you to sling your Marionette at the target instantly, knocking them back, this skill comes in handy if a monster is about to attack you, as well as making some interesting combos. It can also be used to stop monsters from loading skills.
Can't really say much, but it's well worth ranking!
• Ignores the Defense skill and Melee ping.

Act 3: Threshold Cutter[Offensive] The Marionette strikes the target three times, the last hit is the strongest. During the skill animation, the monster can retaliate with Counterattack before the 3rd hit lands. It can also be interrupted by another player's attack. Critical hit rate is divided for the 3 hits. This can also be used as a staller.
• Ignores Defense skill and Melee ping.

[Image: http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/images/c/c8/Act_4-_Rising_Action.png]
Act 4: Rising Action[Offensive]This skill is basically the "Windmill" of puppetry, it damages and knocks back all surrounding monsters around the player. This skill can become useful right after using Crisis. It can also serve as a way of bring your Marionette to you instantly as long as your still connected. Much like Windmill, it ignores Protection for critical rates. All in all, it's the Marionette's Windmill.
• Blocked by the Defense skill

[Image: http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/images/d/dc/Act_6-_Crisis.png]
Act 6: Crisis[Offensive]This is one of Puppetry's most unique skill, This works like a reverse Windmill, instead of pushing enemies outward, it pulls everything in. It pulls everything under the Marionette into a neat pile, this is very useful for mob control, making all pulled monsters aggro to Marionette. You can proced to use a multi-target skill such as Windmill, Rising Action, Climatic Crash or Crash shot. For some reason, while in Crisis loading animation, you gain a glitched Advanced heavy stander. After used, your Marionette will gain a buff in Defense, Protection and Magic defense for a short amount of time.

[Image: http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/images/d/d1/Act_7-_Climactic_Crash.png]
Act 7: Climatic Crash[Offensive]This skill, right here, Is my personal favorite. Your Marionette does a devastating charge at your enemies hitting them 1~2 times. This skill is much like Lance charge with a much wider AoE.
There seems to be a glitch where if the enemy is running to you the Climatic Crash will miss it. This skill also disconnects your Marionette after the skill animation is finished.
It has a 1,000 Charge range with a massive 600 width. It's not a instant skill, you have to wait till the Marionette is done loading it, this is signaled with a flash, though you can use it just before the flash. If the skill fails to execute, however, it'll go into a 3-second cooldown time.

[Image: http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/images/a/aa/Act_9-_Invigorating_Encore.png]
Act 9: Invigorating Encore[Supportive]The last skill to be listed, this is Puppetry's "Power-up" skill, thats increases Max, Min damage and decrease Act skill loading time for a set amount of time. Enemies around the Marionette will be pushed back after this skill is loaded. This also gives the Marionettes it's own AI while disconnected from the player, it'll attack anything nearby, It's AI, however, its rather basic and it'll always try to be near it's master. It'll randomly use Act1 and Act2 while it's disconnected. This skill can only be used when the Spirit Gauge is full, you fill the gauge by using Act skills, each skill contributes a different amount to the gauge.

Telling you some places where you can get nice Training EXP.
Keep in mind these skills ARE grindy, so it's to your best interest to rank them passively and use them as much as you can while running dungeons and missions! Keep in mind the Marionette masteries are the only CP required ones!
Wire Pull and Puppet's Snare
The Mongooses outside of Quila base base or the Armadillos outside of Filia are exilent places to train the two at the same time, set party rules to "Anyone can finish" then kill the monster with snare then finish off with Wire pull.
Act 1: Inciting Incident
Same method as before, but without party rules.
Act 2: Threshold Cutter
For multi-hits the Sea trolls in Scathach beach have bulky HP and no HP, kills can be done as the same method seen above.
Act 4: Rising Action
The wild Plateau Wild Boar boars in Abb neagh are a decent training spot for this, for 8 hits, I recommend Sulfur spiders in the shadow realm basic.
Act 6: Crisis:
Sulfur Spiders work well, same goes for The other Alchemist(not effective for the 8 monster requirement)
Act 7: Climactic Crash
Abb neagh and The other Alchemist could work well
Act 9: Invigorating Encore
The wild Plateau Wild Boar boars in Abb neagh and the Wolves in Tara work well.
Don't forget when using Climatic crash try not to hit any enemies, cause you can still get EXP from just using it.

[SIZE="3"]Cycling Marionettes[/SIZE]
Marionettes, after used in the field of combat for awhile will be worn out, so it'd be a good idea to rotate through both Puppets occasionally. Cycling will also help mob controlling by resetting mob AI.

[/SIZE][SIZE="4"]Act 8: Strategies, Tips and Combos[/SIZE]
In this part I'll share some Strats, tips and combos that might come in handy.
Since enemies see Marionettes as a Player entity, they'll aggro the Marionette, this can also come to your advantage. Since Marionettes(mid and end game) are very tanky and can take alot of hits.
You can make everything in the room hate the Marionette with Crisis and Rising action, You can also take aggro off of you with Act:1 and Act:2 ectect...
Moving your Character while Connected
While connected to your Marionette, Hold down Shift-click and you can move your character while connected, keep this in mind while using Rising action or Act:1.
Group Nimbusing
if you running something with someone who has a Nimbus pet, have Puppeteer gather around the person with the Nimbus pet to heal them all at once!
Interrupting your attacker
If your still connected while being under attack by a monster, you can make your Marionette hit the attacker, this can be a life saver at times.
[SIZE="3"]Solo Tactics[/SIZE]
Crisis Crush
This is a very basic combination, you use Crisis to pull enemies into a neat pile then you can use either Rising Action, Climatic crash(Must be Rank1), Windmill or Dischord.
Climatic Revolver
Takes time, but you can also clear almost anything without having the enemies knowing your existence. You use Climatic crash from a far, desummon the Marionette after it's done crashing, resummon and wait for the cooldown, then repeat! This can come in handy in Missions like Secrets of Scathach Caverns.
Inciting Smash
Thanks to Act1's stun time, you can quickly switch to smash, then you can use Act:1 again and repeat. if the target tries to retaliate with Counter, use Windmill or Rising action.
Golem Snare - Azareel
While snaring your Target, you can control your summoned Golem to attack.
Staller - [SIZE="2"]Chihaya[/SIZE]
While most of your Puppetry skills are on cooldown you can stall your target with Wirepull + Lightningbolt.
This should be followed by Act:1 or Counter.
Climatic Closer[Yet to be tested]
After using Climatic crash, you can us Closer to reach to your Marionette.
[SIZE="3"]Team Tactics[/SIZE]
Alright, lets get into party play!
Flaming Crisis
Have a friend with full charge Flameburst attack the pile of monsters you Crisis'd
• This can also work with Hailstorm, Ice Spear and Thunder
Hold the Ghast, please!
Yes, one of the most intimidating monsters in the world of Erinn falls victim to Puppet snare.
Having your party members hold it in place while you use a powerful skill on it, two puppeteer's(rank9+) can keep it in place forever. Of course this works with other bulky monsters too!
There are many more combos out there, if you feel like sharing some, let me know!
