How to Play

Unique unlocks charged attacks; Legendary offers a longer charge. Rising Slash and Final Strike are suggested options. Charging itself has no guard: the guard belongs to the attack motion after charging. If the boss attacks first, dodge or release early instead of insisting on a full charge. With Soul Strike, avoid spending the heavy hit's trigger on a weak skill. The simulator adds recommended candidates up to the slot limit. Remove or replace them as needed.

Why It Works

Build physical attack with Courage 2 and Arms 2. Use Attendant’s Pauldrons to concentrate faster and save Bone of Courage for a heavy hit. Hope Slasher is an upgrade, not a requirement. Add good critical equipment to the same charging routine without waiting for a fixed partner or quintessence.
