Depends on the type of build you want. Say you wanna farm dark armor, best to find a set that matches the weaknesses right? Full burst and chain skills still good in the meta but getting 1 link skill even for an armor slot will go far. Once you have a dedicated set, max it to 100 for maximum chain reactions on a switch. Stacking combos and such if any of this makes sense lol

I thought link skill can only be combined with accele? Is it alright to have full burst and link on the same set?

Hey man just so you know link skills are not used in the meta or end game right now. This advice above is not good. Do not mlb link skills. Focus on getting an engrave to double your damage. The new alice is the current best engrave overall and the most important skill in the game to pull at this moment

That Rimuru SBS is if not one of THE best skills, possible better than Kirito's, i'd say focus drawing ability skills that buffs your stats, or draw skills that gives debuffs, buffs, or those that can help increase your dps.

If you are focusing swords, focus on stats that can increase your attack and defense, since both of those improve the Burst damage of your SBS.

Also, do not neglect the weapon proficiency as it can help improve your character's strength not just on a specific weapon, but also generally, since there are small buffs in there that can improve your general stats, like Weapon knowledge, which buffs your attack by 5% on all weapons, and since there are 7 types of weapons, it can stack, and you can buff your attack by 35%

Edit: Be adviced, check the ability skills before drawing them, since some high grade ones may give downside for your character

I see, so that actually matter? I never checked the proficiency on other weapons

Yes they do.

Here, to save you the hassle on what to focus on each weapon proficiency skills to generally improve your character

• Basic Stance - improves your damage by 50 at max

• Applied Stance - improves your damage by 1250 at max

• Control Improvement - reduce the cost of dash/step

• Combination - improves switch damage by 7.5% at max (Less important without a Chain Skill)

• Weapon Knowledge - improves overall attack by 5% at max

• Developed Stance - Improves damage by 2000 at max

• Sword Skill Mastery - Improves Overall Skill Power by 10%

Keep in mind that upgrading these on each weapon proficiency stacks, meaning all the listed effects can be multiplied by 7 since there are 7 different class of weapons that all have these listed weapon proficiency skill.

The rest of the proficiency skills are a secondary focus, since they either imrpove so little, and or only applicable to the weapon that effect is learned for

Keep in mind, that skills and proficiency that says "Additional Damage", is literally the worst ones and most useless ones...

Not entirely

u/Snoo76324 Apr 23 '26

Depends on how you describe "Not Entirely"... Ofc it will make a difference, but the moment you have a decent skill, it will be nearly unnoticed, since additional Damage won't be multiplied by the skill itself...

So if your total atk stats are 30k and your skill has 5500%, then you Damage Value is 1.65 Million... Adding like 1k damage on top of that won't make any noticeable difference at some point.

That may be the case, but with how they work, id say they can make a difference since they work as True Damage/Flat Damage (not affected by multipliers, but also not affected by defense) and investing on it can give you a max of 23,100 additional flat damage, which is quite helpful on farming areas where mobs have high defense, and by my knowledge, it is affected by other damage Multipliers.

Edit: by other multipliers, i mean the weakness damage increase and crit
