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.

6Combo target
  • Counterattack Bracelet

    Gain all damage amplification after a perfect guard.

  • Riposte Staff Fragment

    Add a physical counterattack on a successful block.

  • Warrior Seal

Bond choices and conditions

Support

Guardian

4Combo target
  • Cloth Armor

    Gain defense without detrimental side effects.

Bond choices and conditions
Reduce damage from failed guards or consecutive attack patterns.
Support

Lake

3Combo target
  • Heart-Shaped Carrot

03 · HOW TO PLAY

Playing this build

1Early preparation

With Quarterstaff, time Riposte against single enemy attacks to learn Perfect Guard and the enhanced second attack.

2Upgrades and transition

With Divine Iron Staff, weapon attacks grant Extend Staff. After Weight of the Sea, add counterplay that gains Heavy Staff through successful guards.

3Combat loop

  1. Fight with normal attacks, then time Riposte against the enemy's counterattack.
  2. After a successful guard, attack using Heavy Staff and guard-item buffs.
  3. Watch MP and buff status while preparing the next guard opportunity.

Boss fights

Guard a single melee boss attack to gain the buff, then attack during the opening. Multi-hit attacks need further responses even after the first guard.

Without the core items

Without Counterattack Bracelet, use Riposte Staff Fragment for normal-guard counters and Warrior Seal for physical damage. Prioritize Endoditte’s Paperweight if MP is insufficient.

04 · REVIEW NOTES

Cautions and scope of verification

Conditions to watch

  • Simply inputting Riposte does not grant Heavy Staff. You must actually block an enemy attack.
  • Weight of the Sea does not gain omnidirectional guarding even at 100 maximum MP. Guard facing the direction of the enemy attack.

Needs further verification

No specific unresolved issues are listed. This does not mean performance has been verified in actual play.
