1. ⚔️ Swordsman Build Methods: High DPS vs. Stability

· Bracelet tuning should be selected as either 'Freedom' or 'Death/Accuracy' depending on the chosen build method.
· Bracelet tuning should be selected as either 'Freedom' or 'Death/Accuracy' depending on the chosen build method.
| Category | Smash Guaranteed Critical Hit Build (High DPS) | Smash Life Steal Build (Stability) |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Focus on Smash's guaranteed critical hit, ignoring critical stats | Focus on Smash's 20% life steal, prioritizing critical hit stats |
| Pros | · Highest damage potential · More investment possible in important passives, accuracy, and attack power · Swordsman's base critical hit chance is high, allowing other skills like Decapitate to also critically hit to some extent | · High stability and survivability · Easier to reach critical hit cap than other classes with Weakness Detection and Charge Stance · Can boost damage of other skills like Screen and Decapitate |
| Cons | · Reduced survivability (Life Steal not applied) · Relies solely on basic passives and Sword of Ruin for survival | · Lower damage potential than the guaranteed critical hit build |
| Bracelet Tuning | Always Freedom (Critical hit unnecessary) | Death or Accuracy (Decided based on current critical hit/accuracy status) |
| Recommendation | When current dungeons allow for sufficient tanking and you aim for maximum damage potential | When more difficult dungeons or stable tanking become important in the future |

2. ✨ Tuning and Stat Efficiency Guide
· Tuning allows for 5 basic options, and since damage amplification can be obtained from many other sources, prioritizing is important.
· Accuracy and Critical Hit lose value after reaching a certain level, after which Attack Power holds the highest value.
· 'Perfect' options can be attached to pants, gloves, and shoes, which have moderate efficiency compared to the important passive 'Master Craftsman'.
· Pet Understanding, Tuning, and Manastone crafting may not yield desired stats, so it's important to flexibly adjust your build by appropriately utilizing the stats you get first.

| Category | Tuning Priority | Stat Efficiency |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Tuning | Damage Amplification > Precision > Attack Power | |
| Build 1 (Ignore Critical Hit) | Accuracy > Attack Power > Critical Hit | |
| Build 2 (Prioritize Critical Hit) | Accuracy > Critical Hit > Attack Power | |

| Manastones | Attack Power, Damage Amplification types | |
| Pet Understanding | Accuracy, Critical Hit | |

3. 🔮 Swordsman Arcana Selection Guide
· For Swordsmen, the 'Madman Pursuer' or 'Vigor Pursuer' Arcana sets are most efficient.
· Whether to choose 'Madman' Arcana as 'Chalice Compass' or 'Chalice Parchment' depends on your chosen build and current stats.
· Whether to choose 'Madman' Arcana as 'Chalice Compass' or 'Chalice Parchment' depends on your chosen build and current stats.
| Build Method | Arcana Selection | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Build 1 (Ignore Critical Hit) | Madman Chalice Compass + Pursuer Parchment Mirror Scales | Since critical hit is ignored, accuracy is much more important. Prioritize accuracy with Compass. |
| Build 2 (Prioritize Critical Hit) | Madman Chalice (Compass or Parchment) + Pursuer Parchment Mirror Scales | Choose between Madman Chalice Compass or Parchment based on current accuracy and critical hit stats. |
