2. 🧬 Soulseer Mizutsune Recommended Gene Build and Firepower Comparison
· The recommended gene build for Soulseer Mizutsune is as follows:
· Many players consider adopting a 'Full Power Gene' instead of 'Speed Boost (L)' to increase firepower, but the actual calculation results are as follows:
· While adopting a Full Power gene increases expected damage by approximately 5%, the stamina cost of 'Cleaving Wave' increases by 20%, from 30 to 36.
· Sacrificing 20% more stamina for a 5% damage increase results in lower stamina efficiency during normal use. Therefore, prioritizing a Bingo build to maximize damage per stamina is more practical.
· For short battles within 3 turns or when swapping between two Mizutsunes, adopting a Full Power gene can yield higher damage. Consider changing the 'Speed Boost (L)' slot to suit your playstyle.
| Gene | Description |
|---|---|
| Speed Boost (L) | Free slot. Adopted for skills that grant win streaks and consecutive attacks by the Rider during normal use. Can be excluded if you prefer to attack after debuffs/buffs. |
| Aqua Shot | Technical type skill. Adopted due to its highest stamina efficiency. |
| Cleaving Wave | Main damage skill. Consumes 30 stamina, max power 240 (random). Despite power fluctuations, it remains very powerful. |
| Water Attack Boost (L) | Enhances Water-element attack power. |
| Mud Wave | Power type skill. Adopted due to its highest stamina efficiency among Water-element Power skills. |
| Stamina Boost (L) | Increases stamina. |
| Death Scythe+ | Speed type skill. High stamina efficiency and grants a win streak, increasing damage of the next attack. |
| Dancer (L) | Increases evasion rate. |
| Evasion (L) | Increases Dancer's uptime, and adopted as there are no other excellent Water-element genes. |
· Many players consider adopting a 'Full Power Gene' instead of 'Speed Boost (L)' to increase firepower, but the actual calculation results are as follows:
| Build | Description | Expected Damage (Cleaving Wave) | Expected Damage (Aqua Shot) | Stamina Cost (Cleaving Wave) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bingo Priority (Current Build) | Build prioritizing Bingo bonuses | 1288 | 1288 | 30 |
| Using 1 Full Power Gene | Using 1 Full Power Gene instead of Speed Boost (L) | Approx. 5% increase | 1363 | 36 (20% increase) |
· While adopting a Full Power gene increases expected damage by approximately 5%, the stamina cost of 'Cleaving Wave' increases by 20%, from 30 to 36.
· Sacrificing 20% more stamina for a 5% damage increase results in lower stamina efficiency during normal use. Therefore, prioritizing a Bingo build to maximize damage per stamina is more practical.

4. 💧 Water-Element Active Skill Stamina Efficiency Comparison
· Water-element active skills are primarily chosen based on stamina efficiency. It's important to select skills with high efficiency based on the power they can exert per stamina point.
· 'Cleaving Wave' has a random element but boasts an overwhelming stamina efficiency of up to 8, while 'Aqua Shot' and 'Death Scythe+' also show excellent efficiency at 4.66.
| Skill Name | Type | Stamina Cost | Power | Stamina Efficiency (Power/Stamina) | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aqua Shot | Technical | 15 | 70 | 4.66 | |
| Cleaving Wave | Power | 30 | Max 240 | Max 8 | Random element, very powerful main damage skill |
| Mud Wave | Power | 20 | 80 | 4 | |
| Death Scythe+ | Speed | 15 | 70 | 4.66 | Grants Win Streak |

5. 🌟 Rider Training Ecological Passives and Monstie Personality
· For Rider Training's ecological passives, we recommend 'Shura', 'Burning Spirit', and 'Unity'. Details on how to farm these were covered in a previous video, so please refer to it.
· For status bonuses, prioritize attack power and stamina recovery.
· The Monstie's personality was set to 'Stamina Tendency: Aggressive' and 'Skill Tendency: Offensive'.
· However, a 'Passive Offensive' personality is also worth considering. When stamina is depleted from repeatedly using 'Cleaving Wave', using skills like 'Death Scythe' might make it difficult to save stamina for 'Cleaving Wave'.
· For short battles like hunting Flooded monsters, 'Aggressive Offensive' is advantageous as it quickly fills the Kinship Gauge without direct commands. However, for longer battles, changing to 'Passive Offensive' can be a good choice.

6. ⚔️ Flooded Yian Garuga Hunted in 5 Turns Without Items
· We present a live combat video of hunting a Flooded Yian Garuga in 5 turns without using any items.
· In the first turn, we deal significant damage using 'Cleaving Wave' and a defense-down bottle.
· In the second turn, 'Cleaving Wave' and the Gunlance's 'Torrential Blast' reduce the monster's health by half.
· In the third turn, due to low stamina, we use normal attacks. Although the damage fluctuation of 'Cleaving Wave' meant some bad luck, if not using items, it's better to swap out two Gunlances for a Hammer or similar to use powerful skills like 'Spin Meteor'.
· In the fourth and fifth turns, we appropriately use 'Cleaving Wave' and normal attacks, ultimately succeeding in defeating it in 5 turns.
· This build can reliably defeat Flooded monsters in 5-6 turns, making it very useful for repeated Flooded monster hunts.
