About this build

The same three-stigma defensive core (Arctic Armor, Element Enhancement, Steel Barrier), with Soul Freeze in the flex slot to seal an enemy healer or caster; its Lv5 tier also has a root chance. Firestorm's heal-reduction option and the frost control kit give value in Abyss and team fights.

Medium confidenceVariant of the PvP Solo build

Leave at level 1

Endgame gear at level 45

Endgame gear at level 45

The highest item level each slot reaches at level 45. Crafted pieces exist for both factions (Elyos · Asmodians) with the same stats.

The best Item Level each slot can reach at the level cap. Weapons, armor and jewelry are the Item Level 102 pieces with five soul lines, made by Transfer crafting from their Item Level 94 versions, so craft those first. Bracelets come from the Sanctuary or Substance Morph (Item Level 86). The belt and the amulet come from Substance Morph (Item Level 65); the amulet differs between PvE and PvP. Runes come from quests and chests (Item Level 40).

Medium confidenceRead from the client's items: the highest item level a player can obtain for each slot at level 45.

Assumed: every Regional quest and Seal dungeon of your faction done once by level 45, at its recommended level (Asmodian Seals on the speedrun route at that route's level, never earlier). Levels alone give 136.

The goal is every node. Leveling pays for part of it, so the order decides what comes first: the nodes that raise your core skills, then these keystones.

Keystones marked Board 6 cost Daevanion Crystal: Azphel, which leveling to 45 does not give: they come after the cap.

Our suggestion, read from the client's stat descriptions: no player data covers level-45 keystones yet.

Good to know

Good to know

The flex choice (Soul Freeze over Assault Bombardment) is ours; opinions on Sorcerer in Abyss fights are split.

Mastery levels above 10 and stigma levels above 20 come only from bonus skill levels on gear and progression boards: a later goal.
