Introduction to the new Arcana package gem, Green Heliodor. Features a radiant gem color. How to obtain: Cumulative reward for purchasing the Arcana package 7 times, or purchase with 10 package points. Same source as the existing Heliodor.

Green Heliodor and existing Heliodor options can overlap (as long as it's not a unique tag). Example: Heliodor Attack Power 5% + Green Heliodor Skill Tag 1.5% Damage Increase = Applied in duplicate. The same Heliodor options cannot be stacked (Attack Power 5% stacking X). Existing Heliodor can only be equipped in weapon sockets, Green Heliodor can only be equipped in emblem sockets.

Thief skill tag examples: Poison Trap (Hinder, Multi-hit, Summon), Ambush (Impact, Movement), Throwing (Hinder, Impact), Screw Attack (Hinder, Multi-hit). Green Heliodor: Increases damage of all tags by 1.5% (number of skill tags x 1.5%). Star Prism (Hinder, Multi-hit, Impact): Increases damage of skills with those tags by 2%. Comparison of damage increase rate for each skill (Poison Trap, Ambush, Throwing, Screw Attack).

Poison Trap, Ambush: Green Heliodor has a higher damage increase rate. Throwing Bone, Screw Attack: Star Prism has a higher damage increase rate. Total damage increase rate: Star Prism (14%) > Green Heliodor (13.5%). Considering realistic damage cycles: Main skill damage distribution is important (Swordsman - Gale Slash, Crossbow - Gusting Bolt, Thief - Poison Trap, Ambush). Damage distribution example: Poison Trap (50%), Ambush (20%), Multi-hit/Throwing Bone (15% each).

As a result of calculating the damage distribution and gem tag efficiency within the skill cycle, Green Heliodor is slightly more efficient than Star Prism (Hinder, Multi-hit, Impact) for Thieves (0.15%~1% difference). The higher the Poison Trap damage distribution, the more dispersed the skill tags, the more advantageous Green Heliodor is.

Swordsman: Efficiency is not bad. Crossbow: Star Prism (Multi-hit, Elemental, Cooldown) is much better than Green Heliodor. If the main skill damage share is high and the tags are biased towards one side, Star Prism's efficiency is overwhelmingly better. Conclusion: Efficiency comparison is necessary after analyzing character damage distribution and main skill tags.

By analyzing your character's damage distribution and the tags of your main skills and using the formula presented above, you can determine which gem is more efficient. Please like, subscribe, and set notifications!
