1. Soul Bender Rollback and Revamp Introduction
This video is a guide to the remade Soul Bender after March 20th.
It takes a lot from Season 1, and many parts that were considered unreasonable have been revamped.
2. Detailed Skill Tree Guide
Magic Critical Hit Master
Basics: Ghost Slash Master (linked with Ghost Slash Drive), Shadow Dash Level 1 (movement skill), Kazan (unlimited duration), Chain Release (can be used without casting motion for barrier skills), Dazzling Curtain (Dark Resistance reduction, Dark Damage Soul essential master), Ghost Sword Mastery
Bremen, Phantasm of the Blade Master (final damage increase due to half-angle)
TP: Black Flame Sword fixed, Black Flame Sword/Ghost Hand/Binding Circle TP investment based on 1 minute, Ghost Slash/Raging Flame TP investment if damage per second is important
Skill Rune: 45 skill rune based on 1 minute (Black Flame Kala applied) is the best high score, but there is no big difference from 40
3. Soul Bender Practical Tips
Ghost Slash: The ghost flies away when Ghost Slash Drive is used (2.5 times the damage of Ghost Slash attack), charging is not essential (slight damage difference)
Ghost Form Slash: Reduced after-delay, no need for emergency evasion
Black Flame Kala: Black flame fired after normal attack, damage is the same in the air/ground, can be used after backstep, can normal attack twice in the air while using Sword Demon Possession
Black Flame Sword: Attached to Kala Black Flame monster
Dark Flame Sword: Distance can be adjusted (forward distance adjusted by key input)
Combo: Ghost Sword-Ghost Slash, Ghost Form Slash-Rhasa-Raging Flame (using Chain Release), Ghost Hand Binding Circle-Black Flame Sword, Sword Demon Possession-Blade Phantom (using Chain Release)
4. Gear Setting Guide
Weapon: Synergy Soul is Plu's Grudge Sword (half-angle final damage increase), Deal Soul is Yin Sword Makya (short sword) or Myeongdo Masamune (katana)
Armor: Dark Damage Deal Setting (Top, Shoes - Ronin, Shoulder - Submarine, Belt - Dark Goth), Synergy Setting (Prioritize Minstrel parts, avoid attribute enhancement/resistance reduction items, utilize half-angle items such as World Destroyer/Rigel's Grace)
Accessories: Deal (Necklace/Ring Sparkling Scent/Water Sound Memory when +13 or higher, otherwise Main Soul/Change and Adaptation), Synergy (Shout, Sky Landmark Lukeba, Bountiful Life Ring/Sky Guide Caph)
Elite: Deal (Choose according to utility), Synergy (Focus On Me (extreme damage boost), Mother Pig (survival), Gwanghae Fragment (raid barrier gauge reduction)), Bracelet (Synergy - Gate of Nature, Deal - Curious Hero, etc.), Sub Equipment (Synergy - Recon Tail, Deal - Athena's Wisdom, etc.)
5. Final Remarks and Advice on Choosing Deal/Synergy
Deal compression and damage increase after Soul Bender remake, 1 minute deal is overwhelmingly top tier
Deal Souls have difficulty participating in parties, requiring high specs
