2. 📊 Skill Damage Composition Comparison: Yeon-sim vs. Maengyeon-sim Builds
· The Yeon-sim build primarily uses Judgment and Retribution, and since Retribution has many hits, it frequently uses Punishment by pulling its cooldown.
· The Maengyeon-sim build primarily uses Judgment, and since Retribution has fewer hits, the usage frequency of Punishment is lower than in the Yeon-sim build.
· The reason Yeon-sim build has a higher peak is that in higher-level content, when you break the combat speed cap and use town skills to cancel Fierce Strike or Rapid Barrage, the base damage of the Rapid Barrage combo is higher.
· The Maengyeon-sim build primarily uses Judgment, and since Retribution has fewer hits, the usage frequency of Punishment is lower than in the Yeon-sim build.

3. ⚙️ Skill Slot and In-game Macro Settings
· The skill slot configurations for both builds are almost identical, but the Yeon-sim build has Rapid Barrage and Judgment in different slots, while the Maengyeon-sim build has them in the same slot.
· To comfortably use buff and taunt skills, it's recommended to place Rapid Barrage in a lower slot.
· In-game macros are the same for both builds; place Annihilation and Judgment so that Judgment is in the bottom-most slot. The order doesn't matter.
· Currently, only in-game skill macros are used; mouse macros are not.
