| Attack Boost (Priority: ★★★) | 【Effect】 Increases your attack damage As you gain levels, also affects your crit chance 【Reason】 A simple way to boost your damage. Try to get at least Lvl 4 in this! |
| Weakness Exploit (Priority: ★★☆) | 【Effect】 Increases your affinity (crit) against a monster's weak points 【Reason】 A simple DPS increase by ways of increasing crit. |
| Razor Sharp (Priority: ★★☆) | 【Effect】 Reduces sharpness loss 【Reason】 It's easy to lose sharpness on this weapon, so this is quite a handy skill that you'll want to have. Handicraft might work as well as a substitute here. |
