Why this choice
Prepare Riposte Blade Fragment and Radiating Charm at the Wishing Fountain. This uses 8/9 capacity, and the items must be unlocked first. Then collect items in the same categories to complete the target combos.

Why this choice
Willpower 20 adds 15 maximum HP and 25 maximum MP and provides 9 Wishing Fountain capacity. Endure 20 adds 20 defense and grants the designated slab. When HP is below 25, recover 1 HP per second.

Recommended miracle
Attendant
- Defense +15
- Gain 1 Guardian artifact (selected from unlocked, eligible candidates)
Why this choice
Add 15 defense for melee survivability and gain 1 Guardian artifact to help form combos. The granted item is selected from candidates that meet the unlock and eligibility requirements, so a particular core item is not guaranteed.
Stat priorities
- Riposte Blade Fragment and physical damage
- Defense and evasion
- MP regeneration and maximum MP
- Core artifact levels and defensive stats
02 · SYNERGY
Target bonds and core items
Prioritize the items below when available. Reaching the target combo requires additional items of the same category and their placement; leveling an item alone does not increase the combo count.
Primary
6Combo target
Sturdy
6Combo target- Riposte Blade Fragment
A successful block triggers a melee counter in front of you. You must carry this item to use Starlight's piercing counter. The official description's damage coefficient is unclear, so no exact damage value is given.
- Radiating Charm
Physical damage temporarily increases after a successful block, strengthening follow-up attacks. The duration shown in the official description is unclear, so check the buff's status during combat.
Faded Shield CrestIncrease weapon damage; after 50 successful perfect guards, the item transforms into Crest of the Iron Wall. Work toward the item's growth as you keep blocking.
Bond choices and conditions
Trigger counters with Riposte Blade Fragment and increase physical and weapon damage after blocking. You do not need every recommended item. Reach the target combo with other items in the same category and placement bonuses.

03 · HOW TO PLAY
Playing this build
1Early preparation
With the Default Sword and Shield, progress using normal attack chains and Cleave after blocking from the front. Block and Cleave both consume MP, so keep enough MP for defense. Use the items prepared at the Wishing Fountain; the final weapon's unique effect becomes available after evolution.
2Upgrades and transition
Default Sword and Shield → Protection of the Fuzz → Starlight. Intermediate weapon effect: A successful block reduces MP consumed by blocking by 50%. After the final evolution, carry Riposte Blade Fragment and block successfully to launch a piercing counter. Position yourself so other enemies line up behind the nearest enemy, hitting several targets with one counter.
3Combat loop
- Face the shield toward the incoming attack and block successfully to trigger a counter.
- Move to line up enemies along the piercing attack's path, adding normal attacks while Radiating Charm's buff is active.
- When MP runs low, stop blocking repeatedly and resume countering after it recovers.
Boss fights
Counter isolated attacks by blocking, and dash away from repeated attacks coming from multiple directions. A nearby minor enemy can take the counter's target away from the boss.
Without the core items
Without Riposte Blade Fragment, use Radiating Charm and Charm of Strength to enhance normal attacks after blocking while you look for the fragment.
04 · REVIEW NOTES
Cautions and scope of verification
Conditions to watch
- Do not expect the counter conversion without carrying the required fragment.
- A block and a perfect guard are different activation conditions.
Needs further verification
- The damage coefficient in Riposte Blade Fragment's official description is unclear, so an exact damage value cannot be given reliably.
