Great Sword - Best Skills
Recommended Skills
| Skill | Effect/Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Attack Boost (Priority: ★★★) | Effect: Increases attack power. Recommendation: Has a simple and yet amazing skill to increase the attack. Aim for Lv 4 or higher for best effect. |
| Weakness Exploit (Priority: ★★★) | Effect: It increases the affinity of attacks that will exploit a monster's weak spot. Recommendation: Increased attack by leveling up the rate of affinity. |
| Critical Boost (Priority: ★★★) | Effect: It increases the damage of critical hits. Recommendation: Activate it with an equipment that has a high rate of attack. It works well with Weakness Exploit. |
| Focus (Priority: ★★★) | Effect Increases the fill rate for weapons with gauges and the charge rate for weapons with charge attacks Recommendation Shortens the time for Charged Slashes. This skill is not prioriized if you prefer Rage Slash. |
| Wirebug Whisperer (Priority: ★★☆) | Effect The available time/recovery speed of handling of Wirebugs. Recommendation Having this skill increases the chance of using Silkbind attacks frequently. |
| Quick Sheath (Priority: ★★☆) | Effect Increases weapon sheathing speed. Recommendation This skill is a must for Greatswords as they are frequently sheathed. |
| Stun Resistance (Priority: ★★☆) | Effect Reduces stun duration by 60%. Recommendation Since Greatsword users tends to use a lot of Armor Skills, the Stun Resistance can be built in other ways. This skill is ideal for Rage Slash users. |
| Evade Extender (Priority: ★☆☆) | Effect Increases evade distance. Recommendation Useful for increasing mobility, even at Lv 1. |
