2. Ability Setting Guide (Reward System vs. Reward Law Upper)
Abilities are divided into reward system or reward law upper.
- Reward System: First line Legendary option is boss damage, second and third line Unique options are fixed to status ailment damage. Utilize Beholder Shock reset through cooldown reset. Recommended if your stats are solid or if you're aiming for the highest tier.
- Reward Law Upper: First line Legendary option is boss damage, second and third line Unique options are fixed to status ailment damage. Enhance utility such as increasing Reincarnation invincibility time with buff duration increase.

3. Skill Sequence and Angelic Buster Link Usage
Use 2-minute cooldown skills together.
It is recommended to use Angelic Buster Link separately without including it in the sequence since cooldown reset is possible.

4. Hyper Skill and Passive Buff Settings
Passive Buff Settings: Use Cross Over Chain and Sacrifice. Hyper Body is useless because boss attacks deal damage proportional to health.
Hyper Skills: You must take 2 Beholder skills, Reincarnation Damage, and Quadruple Impact Reinforce. If critical chance is lacking, take Critical; if it is sufficient, take Boss Killer. Dark Knight has a high base critical chance, so achieving 100% without Hyper Skills is not difficult when utilizing Union, Artifact, and Attack Team members.

5. Other Questions: Seed Ring and Cooldown Reduction Hat
- Seed Ring: Refer to the video.
- Cooldown Reduction Hat (5 seconds cooldown reduction): Playable without it. A 2-second cooldown reduction hat can be easily obtained by newbies for around 2 billion mesos, and the efficiency can be felt.
