· Among the level 20 recommended skills, 'Impact Blow' is a ranged stun that's useful as a support in PvE and highly effective in PvP.
· 'Fiery Strike' is useful in PvP as it can inflict two status effects. 'Wave of Healing' is essential with its max HP-based recovery specialization.
· 'Spinning Strike' is a close-range AoE used in both PvE and PvP, benefiting from the skill speed increase specialization.

· The top priority passive, 'Attack Preparation', balances accuracy, damage amplification, and defense. 'Impact Hit' increases the accuracy of stuns, knockdowns, and other impact effects, enhancing the 'Force' stat.
· Second priority skills include 'Inspiring Spell' (critical hit, perfect stats), 'Earth's Promise' (reduces party damage resistance), and 'Blessing of Life' (increases healing amplification and max HP).
· 'Wind's Promise' has increased damage contribution but a low damage increase per level. 'Protective Ward' enhances stability but has lower priority.
· 'Will to Survive' is useful in PvP, and 'Cross Defense' synergizes well with block setups in PvP.
· 'Rage Spell' has a lower priority due to its conditional activation.

· 'Unyielding Origin' is a core skill that constantly boosts party damage amplification and resistance, making it the top priority investment.
