· Manus Rapacis is a core Legacy form of this build, capable of dealing immense damage and clearing multiple enemies with a single cast.
· Despite its slow cast speed, it grants immunity to damage during casting and possesses a powerful ability to stagger large enemies.
· Furthermore, defeating an enemy automatically switches targeting to the next, making it highly effective for clearing mobs.

· The Willpower build offers a flexible combat style, and defensive skills can be utilized in specific battles to increase survivability.
· Defensive Skills:
· Heavy Parry Shield: Useful in specific boss fights like Camillo
· Umbil Shift: Utilized in late-game battles
· Shield: Highly effective in Holly's Heroic battles (Strongly Recommended)

· Recommended Playstyle:
· Use all 4 buffs before starting combat.
· After entering the mist wall, cast Glacial Barrage and Draconic Stake consecutively while Alfheim is equipped. (Be careful, switching weapons before projectiles hit will reduce damage.)
· Once combat begins, primarily use the halberd's light attacks and Flash Fleech, or maintain distance with Stinger Veil and Alfheim's bayonet attacks.
· Manus Rapacis can also be used to quickly defeat enemies in early battles or New Game Plus 2.
· For challenging enemies like Alessandro Gobo, it is recommended to finish them with Alfheim.

· This Willpower build is based on Holly's Blood Code and maximizes combat efficiency using various complementary boosters.
