· For PVE skill specialization, we recommend skills 2, 3, and 4 upon reaching level 20. If you're below level 20, it's best to use skills 2 and 4 to leverage the spirit synergy.
· DPS experiment results showed that choosing specializations 2 and 4 and continuously using troops resulted in higher DPS compared to using 2 and 3.

Divine Retribution	2, 3, 4	2, 4 (Spirit Synergy)
Judgment Bolt	2, 4, 5	2, 5
Curse of Weakness	2, 4
Sacred Energy	3, 4, 5	3, 4 (Higher DPS priority than Judgment Bolt based on experiments)
Chain of Suffering	2, 4
Lightning Barrage	Level 16+: 4, 5 Below Level 16: 3, 4	3, 4

· For PVP skill specialization, we generally recommend 2, 3, and 4. Below level 20, consider 2 and 3, or 2 and 4.
· In PVP, opportunities for full troop charging are rare, so specializations 2 and 3 are generally more useful. However, for party play, 2 and 4 can also be considered.
· For Judgment Bolt, we recommend 2, 4, and 5, or 2 and 5 below level 20. Curse of Weakness remains 2 and 4.
· Sacred Energy is recommended as 3, 4, and 5, or 3 and 4 below level 20. Chain of Suffering stays at 2 and 4.
· Lightning Barrage is often skipped in PVP. For Light of Regeneration, we recommend 1, 2, and 5 at level 20+, and 1 and 5 below level 20. In PVP, prioritizing defense increase over movement speed can be advantageous.
· Condemnation is recommended as 2, 3, and 4. Light of Healing is 3, 4, and 5. Debuff cleansing is essential in PVP.
· Radiance of Joy is recommended as 1, 3, and 5. For Troops, use 2, 3, and 4 at level 20+, and 3 and 4 below level 20.
· Shock Release recommends 1 and 4, or 1 and 5 for level 16+.

· Expeditions & Normal Dungeons:
· Essential Stigmas: Power of Life, Earth's Punishment, Noble Aura, Light of Possession.
· Additional Considerations: Prayer of Amplification (for DPS boost), Salvation (to counter the laser pattern in Hall of Illusions), Power of Uriel (to counter the erosion mechanic).
· If you have a Templar in your party, you can substitute with Immunity or Prayer of Amplification.
· For Care Purposes:
· Summoned Hatchling (for frequently dying party members), Absolution, Power of Life, Light of Possession, Earth's Punishment.
· Power of Uriel is still useful in PVE even though its PVP gap has been removed.
· If there's a Guardian in the party, consider Prayer of Amplification or Noble Aura instead of Power of Uriel.
· Hall of Illusions:
· Use the Salvation stigma to increase survivability during the grouped laser pattern.
· Sanctuary:
· Use the Salvation stigma to balance survival and healing.
· Also consider Power of Uriel to prepare for the final erosion mechanic.
· PVP (Party):
· Essential: Summoned Hatchling, Power of Uriel.
· Use in combination with Power of Life or Absolution.
· Light of Possession is also highly recommended.
· PVP (Solo):
· Recommended: Light of Possession, Power of Uriel, Noble Aura, Power of Life, Salvation.
· Earth's Punishment is effective for dealing damage to tanky opponents (Guardians, Gladiators, etc.).
· Key Summary:
· In PVE, Light of Possession, Power of Life, Noble Aura, and Earth's Punishment are core. Other stigmas can be flexibly swapped based on the situation.
· There's no single correct answer for Cleric stigmas; it's important to find the optimal combination for each dungeon and PVP scenario.

· In the 1-minute DPS test against a training dummy, the damage contribution from Troops significantly increased. Using the Noble Aura stigma also greatly boosted damage.
· Upon reaching level 20 for Divine Retribution, the discharge damage increases. Sacred Energy contributed about 7% of total damage, Judgment Bolt 4%, and Divine Punishment 7%.
· Reaching level 20 for Arcana skills has a significant impact on DPS, so aim to level up useful skills to 20 as much as possible.
· For recommended Arcana card combinations, try using cards that include the skills Danjae, Kwegwang, Troops, and Response Skills to efficiently level them up without wasting any skills.
