3. ⚔️ Core Skills and Class Traits
· The Vow is chosen as Apostle to utilize the mechanism of transforming into an Angel Form Arbiter.
· When selecting the Apostle trait, using an Apostle-tagged skill with a cooldown transforms you into an Angel Form Arbiter, enabling a movement speed buff and Wing Strike auto-attacks.
· Wing Strike is treated as an Apostle skill and is affected by various damage buffs such as Holy Damage, Critical Strike, Vulnerable, and Strength.
· In Arbiter form, Evade is replaced by Angel's Leap, allowing you to cross walls.
· Maintaining Arbiter form at all times is crucial; directly cast and master the ultimate skill Arbiter of Justice to increase its duration.
· Apply Arbiter duration tempering to boots and use Aura skills and the Radiance Glyph to quickly reset ultimate cooldowns.
· Charge pushes enemies back, provides damage reduction, and generates Resolve. This Resolve is converted into damage by defensive auras.
· Charge's hits are treated as 100% Block, so use the Northern Guard Aspect on boots to cause Freeze on Block.
· If resource generation is solved, Charge is a core skill that provides knockback, Resolve generation, damage reduction, and Freeze.
· The Meteor skill is used as a movement ability and is a core skill for activating Arbiter and stacking Ascension Aspect.
· Killing vulnerable enemies quickly resets Meteor's cooldown, and the Ascension Aspect's effect is significant, leading to performance differences based on ramp-up.
· Buffs from Ascension Aspect or Heavenly Discord Aspect continue to apply during the Arbiter's duration.
· Fanaticism Aura, Resistance Aura, and Divine Light Aura are buffs used on cooldown.
· If you want to increase damage further, you can use the Consecration skill instead of Divine Light Aura.
