โ“ Build FAQ

What's the best build for beginners?

Start with a balanced Aggressive build using Black Flash. It works with any innate technique and teaches fundamental combat skills. Invest in Focus (100) and Strength (150) to start.

Can I reset my skill points?

Yes! You can purchase skill point resets with Robux or obtain reset tokens through events. Plan your build carefully to avoid wasting resources.

What's the best innate for PvP?

Soul King, Infinity, and Star Rage + Demon Vessel (Metamancer) are all S-tier for PvP in January 2026. Choose based on playstyle preference.

Should I max one stat tree or spread points?

Depends on your build. Metamancer builds should max Technique (250-300). Aggressive builds spread across Strength (200) and Focus (150). Avoid spreading too thin!

Do I need a Special Grade innate?

No! Many Legendary and Rare innates are viable with proper builds. However, Special Grade techniques do have significant advantages in endgame content. Check our tier list.

What's the fastest way to level up?

Use a PvE farming build with high AoE damage. Infinity's Hollow Purple is currently the fastest. Complete boss raids and investigation missions daily.
