What Is Soul Tree
Ouroboros Upgrade System
In Soul Tree, you can upgrade the Ouroboros Form of each by using SP obtained from battles, etc. Since it can greatly improve the performance during interlinking, upgrade it frequently.
Player Decides To Upgrade Which Soul Tree
The Soul Tree is a system in which players themselves choose what to upgrade from among the branches. This section introduces the upgrade procedure recommended by the Strategy Team, so please use it as a reference when upgrading.
[Common] Recommended Soul Tree Upgrade
Unlock Arts Canceling As Top Priority
Obtaining "Unlock Arts Canceling" allows for a series of Arts to be fired, which in the Ouroboros state action speed becomes noticeably faster. It is by far the best growth factor that any character should take first.
Aim For Talent Enhance Art
The Talent Enhance Art adds a special effect for each character in addition to the 1000% to 1400% Power Multiplier. This is an excellent upgrade, and should be prioritized.
Noah's Recommended Soul Tree Upgrade
Soul Tree Recommended Upgrade
| ① | [Learn Skill] Omnipresent Blade [Learn Skill] Satisfying Piercer |
|---|---|
| ② | [Raise Ability] Unlock Arts Canceling |
| ③ | [Learn Art] Glorious Wing |
Skills Obtained Priority
| Satisfying Piercer | Priority: High Ignores enemy Defence power when a critical hit occurs. Also adds 30% to the damage bonus |
|---|---|
| Omnipresent Blade | Priority: High Each time a critical hit occurs, the damage dealt and Critical Rate is increased by 10% of the original |
| Link Force | Priority: Low Increases damage dealt when a comrade is disabled or dying (small effect) |
| Opportunity in Crisis | Priority: Low The more heat gauge you have, the more damage you deal. |
Satisfying Piercer and Omnipresent Blade are a high priority to acquiring because of their compatibility with the high firepower Arts "Unison Strike". The other two are not versatile and have a low priority because of their limited upgradeability.
Unleash the Glorious Wing
Priority is given to the Glorious Wing, which increases overall firepower; during Interlink, you can use a series of Arts, so it is effective to buff the Glorious Wing first and then alternate between the remaining two Arts.
| Recommended Arts | - Unison Strike - Phantom Slash - Glorious Wing |
|---|
Mio's Recommended Soul Tree Upgrade
Soul Tree Recommended Upgrade
| ① | [Learn Skill] Subtle Strike [Learn Skill] Biting Back |
|---|---|
| ② | [Enhance Skill] Unlock Arts Canceling |
| ③ | [Raise Ability] Biting Back |
| ④ | [Talent Enhance Art] Resonant Edge |
Skills Obtained Priority
| Biting Back | Priority: High Attack 100% damage when evading. Each time you evade, the damage dealt is increased by 10% (up to 300%) |
|---|---|
| Subtle Strike | Priority: High Does 100% Attack force-ignoring damage with a 30% chance to hit |
| Eyes on the Prize | Priority: Low If you are attacked by a targeted enemy, your evasion rate is increased by 20% |
| Clearsight | Priority: Low 5% chance to evade enemy attacks |
Skills that lead to increased firepower should be taken preferentially, and since there is no concept of HP during Interlink, the Evasion Up effect is not as high a priority.
Unlock Full Moon Drop
After Bleed with Jaguar Slash, use Deadly Twister to avoid the enemy and increase firepower while hitting with Arts.
| Recommended Arts | - Deadly Twister - Full Moon Drop - Jaguar Slash |
|---|
Eunie's Recommended Soul Tree Upgrade
Soul Tree Recommended Upgrade
| ① | [Learn Skill] Healing Feathers [Learn Skill] Unceasing Blessing |
|---|---|
| ② | [Learn Art] Feather Sanctuary |
| ① | [Raise Ability] Unlock Arts Canceling |
| ③ | [Talent Enhance Art] Sacred Cannon |
Skills Obtained Priority
| Wings of Healing | Priority: High When damage is taken, there is a 25% chance that the HP of all all allies around you will recover 100% of their Healing Power |
|---|---|
| Unceasing Blessing | Priority: High Extends the buff effectiveness time of All Allies by 50% |
| Shared Blessing | Priority: Medium Increases the damage dealt based on the number of Buffs on Allies (Effect: Small / Max 500%) |
| Wings of Pursuit | Priority: Low Does 60% of Attack damage every second against enemies within a certain range |
To maintain the operation as a healer, it is recommended to take healing and buffing skills first, and to take advantage of the buffing effect of Feather Sanctuary.
Obtain Feather Sanctuary
It is recommended to use Typhoon Field and Feather Sanctuary to heal and buff repeatedly. It is a good idea to set up Liberty Wing, which revives everyone, in case of emergency.
| Recommended Arts | ・Typhoon Field ・Feather Sanctuary ・Liberty Wing |

Taion's Recommended Soul Tree Upgrade
Soul Tree Recommended Upgrade
| ① | [Learn Skill] Unceasing Curse |
|---|---|
| ② | [Learn Skill] Shared Curse |
| ③ | [Raise Ability] Unlock Arts Canceling |
| ④ | [Talent Enhance Art] Eightfold Divide |
Skills Obtained Priority
| Unceasing Curse | Priority: High Extends all enemies' Debuff lifetime by 50% |
|---|---|
| Shared Curse | Priority: High Increases damage dealt based on the number of Debuffs on all enemies (Effect: Small / Max 500%) |
| Eclipse | Priority: Medium Debuff resistance of all enemies is reduced by 30% |
| Strength Sapper | Priority: Low when Art hits, has a 5% chance of reducing enemy recharging to 0 |
Since the basic strategy is to debuff the enemy and inflict damage, make it a priority to learn skills that extend the duration of debuff effects and increase damage inflicted on enemies.
Unlock Body Double & Fleeting Form
We recommend using Fleeting Form to regenerate while using Spirit Raven and Body Double to heal and give debuff repeatedly. The firepower increase by granting Debuff is excellent, but it is also recommended to be able to play the role of a healer.
| Recommended Arts | ・Spirit Raven ・Body Double ・Fleeting Form |
|---|
Lanz's Recommended Soul Tree Upgrade
Soul Tree Recommended Upgrade
| ① | [Enhance Art] Titan Fists [Learn Skill] Absolute Barrier |
|---|---|
| ② | [Enhance Skill] Steady Advance |
| ③ | [Raise Ability] Unlocks Arts Cancel |
| ④ | [Enhance Skill] Hefty Protection |

Skills Obtained Priority
| Hefty Protection | Priority: High Allies within a certain radius take 20% less damage |
|---|---|
| Steady Advance | Priority: High 50% resistance to com[bos and reactions while in Arts |
| Strength in Adversity | Priority: Medium Increases damage based on the number of enemies targeting you (small effect, up to 300%) |
| Reflection | Priority: Low Reflects enemy attacks with a 5% chance |
Lanz recommends developing abilities related to Defense. Since he is originally used in the role of buying aggro in Defender, he should be able to operate in the same way during Interlink.
Unlock Titan Fists
Basically, the best way is to use Burning Rain to gather aggro while using Ray of Punishment to provide firepower. Against guarding enemies, it is recommended to use Titan Fists, which has an unguardable debuff.
| Recommended Arts | ・Ray of Punishment ・Burning Rain ・Titan Fists |
|---|
Sena's Recommended Soul Tree Upgrade
Soul Tree Recommended Upgrade
| ① | [Learn Skill] Merciless Pummeling |
|---|---|
| ② | [Enhance Skill] Unlock Arts Canceling |
| ③ | [Enhance Skill] Merciless Pummeling |
| ④ | [Learn Art] Hellbound [Learn Skill] Explosive Spirit |
| ⑤ | [Talent Enhance Art] Hammer Revolution |
Skills Obtained Priority
| Explosive Spirit | Priority: High Each time you perform a Combo Reaction, the damage dealt is increased by 30% (max 500%) |
|---|---|
| Merciless Pummeling | Priority: High Whenever a Knockback or Blowdown is dealt, there is a 50% chance of dealing additional damage |
| Extreme Pursuit | Priority: Low Increases damage dealt to enemies in combo state (small effect) |
| Utterly Crushing | Priority: Low Disables enemy's guard and has 60% chance to inflict Break if disabled |
With Explosive Spirit to increase firepower, use Reaction-effect Arts to generate damage. However, against high-level unique monsters, combos and reactions often do not work, so there are few effective situations.
Unleash Hellbound
Hellbound is an Ether attack, so it is very useful when using Class "Royal Summoner"; Blowdown effect works well with Skills; For Physical Attack attackers, it is recommended to employ Dino Upper instead.
| Recommended Arts | ・Hellbound(orDino Upper) ・Mortal Bullet ・Flame Nova |
|---|
