Updated
28 Sep 2026

Season 1 edition for the Global client, adapted from the TW / KR guide. Global‑specific updates will follow after launch.

Spirit Master (the game calls it Elementalist; KR 정령성, TW 精靈星) is a genuinely good multi-dimensional class. It's fun to play and fun to theorycraft: it supports multiple builds and setups, all of them strong, with very few weak points. It performs in every type of content: PvE, 1v1, group PvP, and large-scale PvP. It has some of the highest potential in the game if you want to sweat, and it still works played casually. That range is exactly what makes it multi-dimensional.

Tier lists keep grading the class C or D. That's misleading. Those grades rank classes per mode in isolation; Spirit Master's case is that it is strong in all of them at once. Played casually, the whole package is a solid B+ class; fully mastered, it is without a doubt an S‑tier all-rounder.

Identity: a tanky mage with a cerebral PvP playstyle. This is not a burst class. It's a kiting class you play with strategy, and PvP success comes down to extremely good timing on what to use and when. In PvP you can run tanky builds or damage builds and both work extremely well. In PvE the floor is casual-friendly, but reaching maximum damage means mastering uptime on all your buffs while rotating your skills correctly.

Who is Spirit Master for? Players who like a challenge and like having options in gearing, skill setups, and combos, and who want to play strategically in PvP. In PvE it fits both people who want that same challenge and people who just want to play casually.

This guide was written after reaching 700k CP, and after testing the class across different variables: PvP against different classes, different setups in different conditions (including ping), and different gear.

How this guide reads: each chapter opens with how the class works in that mode; Builds then holds each build, its planner link at the top and the choices in tabs, with the reasons inline so nothing has to be followed blindly. Hover or tap any underlined skill name or icon to see its description and specializations.

  2. 1.2Where skill levels come from
  3. 1.3Builds

1.1How SM works in PvE

The highest damage output comes from Elemental Fusion and the spirits, primarily Summon: Ancient Spirit and Summon: Fire Spirit.

Spirit damage is not fixed: a spirit's damage depends on your stats and buffs at the moment of summon (the snapshot rule). That makes basic-attack weaving the core skill expression of the class: keep 5 stacks of the Earth Tremor attack-increase buff (대지 진동, the basic attack) at 100% uptime, and time every summon inside it. Summon without the 5-stack buff and your spirits lose a large chunk of attack, which costs you a large chunk of your total damage.

Fire Spirit gets the most uptime. Of the base spirits, Fire Spirit deals the most damage, so when rotating through spirits summon Fire Spirit last: it stays out dealing damage while the other spirits' cooldowns come back.

Why the weave is free, and when it isn't. The basic attack can be animation-canceled and woven between every other skill, so keeping the 5-stack buff up costs you no cast time and no core DPS skill. In theory. In practice the weave is very ping-dependent: reaching the class's ceiling wants 80%+ combat speed and under ~50 ms ping.

The DoT & debuff layer. Spirit Master runs a lot of damage-over-time effects that also debuff the target to take more damage, chiefly Jointstrike: Corrode and Jointstrike: Curse. With enough cooldown reduction the Corrode DoT reaches 100% uptime, which is a large DPS increase on its own.

1.2Where skill levels come from

  1. Lv10Skill points
  2. Lv14First four daevanion boardsNezekan, Zikel, Vaizel, Triniel
  3. Lv20+Gear and arcanasNo cap at 20

Every skill can be leveled to 10 with skill points. The first four daevanion boards (Nezekan, Zikel, Vaizel, Triniel) hold one node per skill each, raising your base skill level to 14. On Global the four boards cost 570 points and you have 433, so not every node fits: the build's path takes every skill and passive node except Summon: Wind Spirit's, which no build uses. Everything past that comes from gear and arcanas:

  • Active skill levels (+1) roll on rings, weapon, and guard.
  • Passive skill levels (+1) roll on all armor pieces, earrings, and necklace. That is ten slots: helmet, torso, shoulders, gloves, pants, boots, cape, necklace, and both earrings.
  • A Legend arcana carries four skills, at +4 / +3 / +1 / +1.

There is no cap at 20. A skill climbs as high as you can stack levels onto it, and the passives run far ahead of the actives because all ten gear slots can roll the same one. What limits you is slots, not a ceiling; a roll spent on one skill is a roll not spent on another.

In practice that splits two ways. Actives reach 20 by taking +4 from arcanas and +1 from each ring: 14 + 4 + 2 = 20, which is the target for the three PvE musts. Passives ride every armor slot that rolls them, which is what carries Mental Focus to 32 and Spirit Strike to 31 in a finished Season 1 set.

1.3Builds

Two PvE builds. Every build has the same tabs: switch builds and you stay on the tab you were reading.

Stigma

Core Every PvE fight. Season 1 has 4 stigma slots, and these four are the set. Level Up to 20 at the priority 1-4. Good practice would be to level all to 10 before starting to work on your 20s

Skill bar

Two-hold play: hold LMB (Cold Shock) plus RMB, the macro key, steer, and press the remaining skills by hand.

Keybinds

  • Macro keyRMB

    Bind the in-game macro (Key Settings → General → Play → basic skill assist function) to the right mouse button. The two-hold is then LMB + RMB, both on the mouse.

  • RMB skill lineT

    The stacked skill line that ships on right-click moves to T, since RMB is now busy holding the macro. This guide calls it the T line.

  • Dismiss all spirits`

    Bind the key that unsummons every spirit to the grave key, left of 1: all spirits come off with one press.

PvE PvE Starter (Hybrid Genus) skill bar
The PvE skill bar and stigma loadout (Global, 2026-09-29). Levels shown are the author's current gear, not the targets.

Reading the bar

  • Spirit Line + Elemental Fusion: Elemental Fusion sits at the very bottom so It is triggered as soon as its available. It is the highest-DPS. The rest of the time, Spirits are being summoned to create Elemental Fusion Stacks (need 4 except during Ancient Spirit uptime)
  • Buffs + Ancient Spirit line: the buffs sit before Ancient Spirit because any spirit summon inherits the buffs active at the moment of summon.
  • RMB/T line: stacked by damage output & animation cancel timings

Mouse layerRazer SynapseRMB+LMB

The mouse layer (Razer Synapse): one recorded macro holding Right Click + Left Click. a single press produces the two-hold.

Rotation

Opening

  1. Always open with the buffs + Ancient Spirit line: Flame Blessing → Enhance: Spirit's Benediction → Summon: Ancient Spirit. Buffs land before the summon so the snapshot catches them.
  2. Spirits + Corrode line spam: get the base spirits out and the Jointstrike: Corrode DoT running.
  3. Start your macro and settle into the two-hold.

Ongoing

  1. Keep rotating your spirits. Elemental Fusion sits in the macro, so it fires the moment it comes up.
  2. Re-cast your buffs as soon as they're available. Don't hold them waiting for Ancient Spirit.
  3. Keep the basic-attack buff at ×5 at all times. It's okay to delay a spirit summon for an extra Earth Tremor.
  4. 100% uptime on Jointstrike: Corrode: triggers the moment it comes off cooldown. (Requires 33% cooldown reduction)

Watch for

  • Ping

    The weave wants 65%+ combat speed and under ~60 ms. Use scrolls.

  • Snapshot

    Never summon Ancient Spirit without the buffs up: the spirit retains all buffs you have at the time of summon.

  • Earth Tremor

    If the ×5 buff is about to fall off, an extra basic attack beats the next summon.

Arcanas

Five Legend arcanas: Season 1 has no Libra slot. The set runs Primal Vigor ×4 and Magic Armor ×1.

Genus Insight

Shared by every buildGenus Insight is account-wide and always on: every build runs these boards, and re-rolling a slot changes it for all of them.

In Season 1, focus on one genus set to get its boost fast. Prioritizes a mix of Accuracy, Attack, Status Effect Chance/Resist, which help in PvE and PvP. On the Global version we have a very limited amount of perfect & Double chance. SM is very reliant on Perfect Chance due to big gap between Min-Max attack and Double Chance is the most OP offensive stat in the game.

This Genus offers a good balance as your first genus for PvE and PvP

Manastone sockets64Not in the sums. The Soul-binds tab ranks which stats to socket.

How to read it: min–max per source, summed over every slot that adds the stat, so a piece worn twice counts twice. Slots counts every source entry behind the stat: soul-bind lines, Genus slots, Daevanion nodes, titles, Pantheon items and arcana cards. Arcana set bonuses, wings and manastones are not included, so this is a sum of the listed sources, not your character panel.

Brief

This is your BEST IN SLOT build. Only difference between this build and your starter build is the Genus insight. This build maximizes DPS at the cost of defensive stats such as Endurance and defense increse. SM can do that due to his Spirit Protection passive. THis is also a passive oriented build where we max out at the highest potential Mental Focus and Spirit Strike.

Stigma

Core Every PvE fight. Season 1 has 4 stigma slots, and these four are the set. Level Up to 20 at the priority 1-4. Good practice would be to level all to 10 before starting to work on your 20s

  1. 1Summon: Ancient Spirit4 of 5 specs openHighest DPS stigma (Dependant on Earth Tremmor and Benediction Buffs)Lv 20 1st

At most 3 skills can sit at Lv 25. Push Ancient Spirit → Jointstrike: Corrode → Flame Blessing to 25 in that order.

Skill bar

Two-hold play: hold LMB (Cold Shock) plus RMB, the macro key, steer, and press the remaining skills by hand.

Keybinds

  • Macro keyRMB

    Bind the in-game macro (Key Settings → General → Play → basic skill assist function) to the right mouse button. The two-hold is then LMB + RMB, both on the mouse.

  • RMB skill lineT

    The stacked skill line that ships on right-click moves to T, since RMB is now busy holding the macro. This guide calls it the T line.

  • Dismiss all spirits`

    Bind the key that unsummons every spirit to the grave key, left of 1: all spirits come off with one press.

PvE PvE BiS skill bar
The PvE skill bar and stigma loadout (Global, 2026-09-29). Levels shown are the author's current gear, not the targets.

Reading the bar

  • Spirit Line + Elemental Fusion: Elemental Fusion sits at the very bottom so It is triggered as soon as its available. It is the highest-DPS. The rest of the time, Spirits are being summoned to create Elemental Fusion Stacks (need 4 except during Ancient Spirit uptime)
  • Buffs + Ancient Spirit line: the buffs sit before Ancient Spirit because any spirit summon inherits the buffs active at the moment of summon.
  • RMB/T line: stacked by damage output & animation cancel timings

Mouse layerRazer SynapseRMB+LMB

The mouse layer (Razer Synapse): one recorded macro holding Right Click + Left Click. a single press produces the two-hold.

Rotation

Opening

  1. Always open with the buffs + Ancient Spirit line: Flame Blessing → Enhance: Spirit's Benediction → Summon: Ancient Spirit. Buffs land before the summon so the snapshot catches them.
  2. Spirits + Corrode line spam: get the base spirits out and the Jointstrike: Corrode DoT running.
  3. Start your macro and settle into the two-hold.

Ongoing

  1. Keep rotating your spirits. Elemental Fusion sits in the macro, so it fires the moment it comes up.
  2. Re-cast your buffs as soon as they're available. Don't hold them waiting for Ancient Spirit.
  3. Keep the basic-attack buff at ×5 at all times. It's okay to delay a spirit summon for an extra Earth Tremor.
  4. 100% uptime on Jointstrike: Corrode: triggers the moment it comes off cooldown. (Requires 33% cooldown reduction)

Watch for

  • Ping

    The weave wants 65%+ combat speed and under ~60 ms. Use scrolls.

  • Snapshot

    Never summon Ancient Spirit without the buffs up: the spirit retains all buffs you have at the time of summon.

  • Earth Tremor

    If the ×5 buff is about to fall off, an extra basic attack beats the next summon.

Arcanas

Five Legend arcanas: Season 1 has no Libra slot. The set runs Primal Vigor ×4 and Magic Armor ×1.

How to read it: min–max per source, summed over every slot that adds the stat, so a piece worn twice counts twice. Slots counts every source entry behind the stat: soul-bind lines, Genus slots, Daevanion nodes, titles, Pantheon items and arcana cards. Arcana set bonuses, wings and manastones are not included, so this is a sum of the listed sources, not your character panel.

2.1How SM works in PvP

Spirit Master is more of a kiting class, but it also has a good amount of burst with Elemental Fusion. Even though it's a DPS class, Spirit Master's passives make it by far the most tanky of the ranged DPS classes. It doesn't have the mobility of a Ranger or the burst of a Sorcerer, but it has the defenses and crowd control to compensate.

Playing PvP with Spirit Master relies on knowing your enemy's skills so you can time your own. Use them too late, or too early, and it will most likely cost you the fight.

Your most notable tools

  • Fear (Curse of Despair, Soul's Cry, Cry of Terror, Assault Terror): unique crowd control only Spirit Masters have.

  • Dispel (Seize Magic): removes all enemy buffs and deals huge burst damage, plus a silence.

  • Command: Proxy: an insane defensive buff where most of the damage you receive is shared to your spirits.

  • DoTs and debuffs: multiple damage-over-time spells and debuffs that apply a multitude of effects on your target.

  • Burst: Elemental Fusion triggers often to burst your target.

  • Earth Spirit taunt: one of the most powerful crowd controls in the game. Defiance cannot be used against a taunt.

  • Spirits: even if you go out of range, your spirits can still hit the target, dealing massive damage and CC'ing them.

When you learn how to use these tools depending on who you're facing, Spirit Master is unstoppable (unless you get giga wallet gapped :) ).

2.2Playstyle & combos

The fear game

1Strategy 1

Hold your fear (Soul's Cry) until you get CC'd, so your Defiance chain-fear goes first. If the fight lasts, wait out Tenacity (7 seconds) before using Soul's Cry.

2Strategy 2

Use your fear first, if you have the confidence and the stats to land it.

Jointstrike: Corrode

Very powerful against classes with a lot of sustain (Cleric, Chanter, Gladiator, Ranger) thanks to its −60% healing reduction and near-30-second DoT duration. Before you cast it, apply Curse and your other DoT effects first so it cannot be cleansed with a healing potion.

Seize Magic (dispel)

Pay attention to enemy buffs. Particularly useful against Gladiators and Clerics, since it can dispel their invulnerability skills. Also very strong against Rangers right after they use their buffs, since those provide a lot of their protection and damage.

General principles

You need to know the other classes as well as you know your own. Spirit Master has a high entry burst with consistent damage output, the ability to kite, and the tools to protect yourself from engages. Use your dash with care: save it to dodge important engages or skills like the Sorcerer's meteor, which ignores evasion and block.

Brief

A kiting build that wins by outlasting: Protected Soul and Indomitable Dedication arcanas, Constitution and Status Effect Resist on every armor piece, and four Lv-20 musts. The five-piece Season 1 set lands Defiance and Cold Shock on 20; Elemental Fusion (18) and Jointstrike: Curse (16) are the two to chase on the rolls.

Strengths

  • By far the tankiest of the ranged DPS classes
  • Fear: crowd control only Spirit Masters have
  • Seize Magic strips every buff, bursts and silences

Weaknesses

  • Less mobility than a Ranger, less burst than a Sorcerer
  • Timing-dependent: a skill used too early or too late loses the fight
  • Fear is control, not a kill tool

Opening a fight

Opening

  1. If you get engaged on: Instand defiance. Be patient with using Command Proxy for the follow up engage.
  2. If you are doing the engage: Pop your offensive buffs (Benediction + Kaisinel's Power)
  3. Engage with earth spirit and use Jointstrike: Curse for debuffs and to bait out the use of a healing pot. + Summon Ancient Spirit
  4. Use Corrode when confident the user used a healing pot and proceed with your rotation + Use Soul's Cry (Fear) when earth spirit does not land a CC or when their defiance is used by rooting them with Dimensional Control

The fear game and dash discipline hold for every PvP build: they live in The fear game and General principles, above the builds.

Watch for

  • Corrode

    Against sustain classes, apply Curse and your other DoTs first so Corrode cannot be cleansed with a healing potion.

  • Seize Magic

    Pay attention to enemy buffs. Dispel invulnerability skills, or a Ranger right after they buff.

  • Command: Proxy

    Most of the damage you receive is shared to your spirits for 7 seconds. Use it when an Assassin engages or a Sorcerer freezes you.

Strengths & weaknesses

Strengths
  • By far the tankiest of the ranged DPS classes
  • Fear: crowd control only Spirit Masters have
  • Seize Magic strips every buff, bursts and silences
  • Earth Spirit taunt: Defiance cannot break it
  • Spirits keep hitting when you are out of range
Weaknesses
  • Less mobility than a Ranger, less burst than a Sorcerer
  • Timing-dependent: a skill used too early or too late loses the fight
  • Fear is control, not a kill tool
  • Gear checks still apply (unless you get giga wallet gapped)

Matchups

6 of 8 classes written.

  • Gladiator
    needs No Proxy / Utility

    Seize Magic dispels their invulnerability. Corrode's −60% healing reduction cuts their sustain.

  • Templar
    Not written yet
  • Assassin

    When they engage, Command: Proxy shares the burst with your spirits for 7 seconds.

  • Ranger
    needs No Proxy / Utility

    Dispel right after they buff: those buffs carry much of their protection and damage. Corrode against their sustain.

  • Sorcerer

    Proxy when frozen. Save your dash for the meteor, which ignores evasion and block.

  • Spirit Master
    Not written yet
  • Cleric
    needs No Proxy / Utility

    Dispel their invulnerability. Curse first, then Corrode, so a potion can't cleanse it.

  • Chanter
    needs No Proxy / Utility

    A sustain class: Corrode's −60% healing reduction and near-30-second DoT.

Arcanas

These arcanas are Item Level 90, all Legend. Season 1 has no Libra slot, so the set fills five slots and splits 3 / 2: you run both 2-piece bonuses and neither 4-piece.

With five pieces, Jointstrike: Curse stops at 16 (Parchment +2 is the only source; no ring carries Curse) and Elemental Fusion at 18 (Parchment +2 plus both rings). Defiance and Cold Shock land on 19 and Combustion on 20, so in Season 1 Curse and Elemental Fusion are the two to chase on the five pieces' rolls.

Soul-binds

Each piece's soul-bind rolls in priority order (1-6). Gear pieces have a min of 4 (3 if extended weapons) to a max of 5 soulbinds for Uique gear. Heroic gear adds one more slot. Philisopher stone also adds one more.

Global will not have PvP gear therefore BiS will be Crafted Gear due to the extra soulbind slots.

This build focuses heavily on Status Effect Resist, Perfect Chance, Accuracy, Regeneration

Why the rings are listed separately: each ring carries three skill substats, and the pair is built so Elemental Fusion and Defiance land on both rings (+2 each) while Cold Shock and Combustion take one ring apiece.

Manastones

The focus is PvP manastones for PvP stats, primarily PvP Accuracy and PvP Attack. Use Intermediate Abyssal manastones. Superior is not worth it (too expensive); sell those instead and make a ton of money.

This Prioritizes Regeneration & Cooldown Reduction as we focus more on Perfect Chance for damage and not smite.

Genus Insight

Shared by every buildGenus Insight is account-wide and always on: every build runs these boards, and re-rolling a slot changes it for all of them.

In Season 1, focus on one genus set to get its boost fast. Prioritizes a mix of Accuracy, Attack, Status Effect Chance/Resist, which help in PvE and PvP. On the Global version we have a very limited amount of perfect & Double chance. SM is very reliant on Perfect Chance due to big gap between Min-Max attack and Double Chance is the most OP offensive stat in the game.

This Genus offers a good balance as your first genus for PvE and PvP

How to read it: min–max per source, summed over every slot that adds the stat, so a piece worn twice counts twice. Slots counts every source entry behind the stat: soul-bind lines, Genus slots, Daevanion nodes, titles, Pantheon items and arcana cards. Arcana set bonuses, wings and manastones are not included, so this is a sum of the listed sources, not your character panel.

Brief

A kiting build that wins by outlasting: Protected Soul and Indomitable Dedication arcanas, Constitution and Status Effect Resist on every armor piece, and four Lv-20 musts. The five-piece Season 1 set lands Defiance and Cold Shock on 20; Elemental Fusion (18) and Jointstrike: Curse (16) are the two to chase on the rolls.

Strengths

  • By far the tankiest of the ranged DPS classes
  • Fear: crowd control only Spirit Masters have
  • Seize Magic strips every buff, bursts and silences

Weaknesses

  • Less mobility than a Ranger, less burst than a Sorcerer
  • Timing-dependent: a skill used too early or too late loses the fight
  • Fear is control, not a kill tool

Reading the level column: the hard Lv-20 musts in PvP are Defiance, Cold Shock, Elemental Fusion and Jointstrike: Curse. The arcana set is built around exactly those four; the levels shown for everything else are what it delivers.

Opening a fight

Opening

  1. If you get engaged on: Instand defiance. Be patient with using Command Proxy for the follow up engage.
  2. If you are doing the engage: Pop your offensive buffs (Benediction + Kaisinel's Power)
  3. Engage with earth spirit and use Jointstrike: Curse for debuffs and to bait out the use of a healing pot. + Summon Ancient Spirit
  4. Use Corrode when confident the user used a healing pot and proceed with your rotation + Use Soul's Cry (Fear) when earth spirit does not land a CC or when their defiance is used by rooting them with Dimensional Control

The fear game and dash discipline hold for every PvP build: they live in The fear game and General principles, above the builds.

Watch for

  • Corrode

    Against sustain classes, apply Curse and your other DoTs first so Corrode cannot be cleansed with a healing potion.

  • Seize Magic

    Pay attention to enemy buffs. Dispel invulnerability skills, or a Ranger right after they buff.

  • Command: Proxy

    Most of the damage you receive is shared to your spirits for 7 seconds. Use it when an Assassin engages or a Sorcerer freezes you.

Strengths & weaknesses

Strengths
  • By far the tankiest of the ranged DPS classes
  • Fear: crowd control only Spirit Masters have
  • Seize Magic strips every buff, bursts and silences
  • Earth Spirit taunt: Defiance cannot break it
  • Spirits keep hitting when you are out of range
  • Status Effect Resist Priority means you are hard to CC
  • Status Effect Chance Priority means you land your CC way more often even against people with a lot of Resist
Weaknesses
  • Less mobility than a Ranger, less burst than a Sorcerer
  • Timing-dependent: a skill used too early or too late loses the fight
  • Fear is control, not a kill tool
  • Gear checks still apply (unless you get giga wallet gapped)
  • Lacks a bit defensive stats like Endurance/Regeneration so taking hits hurts

Matchups

6 of 8 classes written.

  • Gladiator
    needs No Proxy / Utility

    Seize Magic dispels their invulnerability. Corrode's −60% healing reduction cuts their sustain.

  • Templar
    Not written yet
  • Assassin

    When they engage, Command: Proxy shares the burst with your spirits for 7 seconds. Seize Magic dispels Illusive clone (where most of assassins damage comes from)

  • Ranger
    needs No Proxy / Utility

    Dispel right after they buff: those buffs carry much of their protection and damage. Corrode against their sustain.

  • Sorcerer
    not slotted

    Proxy when frozen. Save your dash for the meteor, which ignores evasion and block.

  • Spirit Master
    Not written yet
  • Cleric
    needs No Proxy / Utility

    Dispel their invulnerability. Curse first, then Corrode, so a potion can't cleanse it.

  • Chanter
    needs No Proxy / Utility

    A sustain class: Corrode's −60% healing reduction and near-30-second DoT.

Arcanas

These arcanas are Item Level 90, all Legend. Season 1 has no Libra slot, so the set fills five slots and splits 3 / 2: you run both 2-piece bonuses and neither 4-piece.

With five pieces, Jointstrike: Curse stops at 16 (Parchment +2 is the only source; no ring carries Curse) and Elemental Fusion at 18 (Parchment +2 plus both rings). Defiance and Cold Shock land on 19 and Combustion on 20, so in Season 1 Curse and Elemental Fusion are the two to chase on the five pieces' rolls.

Soul-binds

Each piece's soul-bind rolls in priority order (1-6). Gear pieces have a min of 4 (3 if extended weapons) to a max of 5 soulbinds for Uique gear. Heroic gear adds one more slot. Philisopher stone also adds one more.

Global will not have PvP gear therefore BiS will be Crafted Gear due to the extra soulbind slots.

This build focuses heavily on Status Effect Resist, Perfect Chance, Accuracy, Regeneration

Why the rings are listed separately: each ring carries three skill substats, and the pair is built so Elemental Fusion and Defiance land on both rings (+2 each) while Cold Shock and Combustion take one ring apiece.

Manastones

The focus is PvP manastones for PvP stats, primarily PvP Accuracy and PvP Attack. Use Intermediate Abyssal manastones. Superior is not worth it (too expensive); sell those instead and make a ton of money.

This Prioritizes Regeneration & Cooldown Reduction as we focus more on Perfect Chance for damage and not smite.

Genus Insight

Shared by every buildGenus Insight is account-wide and always on: every build runs these boards, and re-rolling a slot changes it for all of them.

In Season 1, focus on one genus set to get its boost fast. Prioritizes a mix of Accuracy, Attack, Status Effect Chance/Resist, which help in PvE and PvP. On the Global version we have a very limited amount of perfect & Double chance. SM is very reliant on Perfect Chance due to big gap between Min-Max attack and Double Chance is the most OP offensive stat in the game.

This Genus offers a good balance as your first genus for PvE and PvP

Stats & skill levels

Where it all lands. Computed from this build's presets: skill points and Daevanion boards give the base level, arcanas and soul-bind lines add to it, and the table sums every stat source the data covers.

Manastone sockets64Not in the sums. The Soul-binds tab ranks which stats to socket.

How to read it: min–max per source, summed over every slot that adds the stat, so a piece worn twice counts twice. Slots counts every source entry behind the stat: soul-bind lines, Genus slots, Daevanion nodes, titles, Pantheon items and arcana cards. Arcana set bonuses, wings and manastones are not included, so this is a sum of the listed sources, not your character panel.

Changelog

Maintained per patch: what the balance patch changed for the class, and which sections were updated in response. Newest first.

  1. Builds now render from the edition file

    • Builds rendered from the edition file: the PvE and PvP chapters now end with Builds, one tabbed sheet per build from skills to stat totals, rendered from the Global edition file that the builder edits. The sheet replaces the hand-typed build sections, and Opening a fight now sits in the PvP sheet on the Playstyle & Macro tab.
    • Every old link still lands: a link to a former build section opens the default build of its mode on the right tab, at the part of the sheet that replaced the section.
    • Correction to the 25 Sep entry: the Genus Insight boards are no longer listed separately. Cogni, Fera, Natura and Variant carry the same picks, so the Genus Insight tab shows them as one board next to the Special board.

  2. Global edition started from the TW / KR guide

    • Copied from the TW / KR guide (updated 2026-09-16) as the starting point for the Global client, which launches on Season 1.
    • Season 1 only: 4 stigma slots and no Libra (Scales) in either arcana set. The skill-level totals are recomputed without it: Summon: Water Spirit 19, Mental Focus 32, Spirit Strike 31, Element Unification 28 in PvE; Elemental Fusion 18 and Jointstrike: Curse 16 in PvP.
    • Left out: the TW 6-slot stigma note, the 5th-slot Corrode option, and the endgame BiS wording and link.
    • Genus Insight set up for the Global boards: no Global slot can roll Double Chance, so the five boards (Cogni, Fera, Natura, Variant, Special) are listed separately with their Global picks and Heroic ranges, plus min / median / max totals.
