Raids

Kurzan Front

Ark Passive

Skills Setup

• Eye of the Storm, Celestial Force Barrage, and Falling Blossoms (Z) are your main damage skills.
• Falling Star is a secondary damage skill, as well as a Shock gauge generator.
• Yeon Galestorm Strike, Hundred Fists, and Adamantine Assault are your main meter generation skills.
• Brawl King's Advance is mainly used to generate Shock gauge.
• Crater Strike is your Synergy (Damage Amplification) and Counter skill.
• Celestial Door is your Awakening. It is preferred thanks to its significantly higher damage. Even though Butterfly Sting fills your meter entirely when used, you wouldn't benefit from it as your Shock skills would still be on cooldown from your previous burst.

Eye of the Storm

• Swift Fingers - Increases damage potential and cast speed, but you are now required to use the skill as a Front Attack.

Crater Strike

• Purify - Allows you to cleanse your debuffs.

• Eye of the Storm is your primary way of dealing with Boss type monsters.
• Brawl King's Advance serves as a quick mobility option.

Warning

This build is optimized and meant to be used only in Kurzan Front. For Ebony Cube please use a Raid build.

Brawl King Storm Breaker uses Stamina skills to generate Shock gauge, expending it entirely to deliver powerful blows with each Shock skill used. Additionally, once your Tenacious Power is full, you can enter Brawl King Stance (Z), gaining increased stats and access to a powerful new skill.

Your Stamina skills consume Stamina gauge and generate Shock gauge, while your Shock skills consume Shock gauge and generate Stamina gauge. However, this build has Shock skills utilizing the Limit Break tripod, consuming all available Shock gauge when used.

Your Spacebar's cooldown is reset and your Synergy is applied upon entering Brawl King Stance, and while in it, you passively generate Shock gauge.

Additionally, you gain access to Falling Blossoms (Z), which has effects similar to the Limit Break tripod:

• Consumes all available Shock gauge
• +4% Damage per Shock point consumed
• +15% Crit Rate
• +80% Damage
• Is treated as a Shock skill

Breaker Identity

Once you enter Brawl King Stance, every third basic attack becomes enhanced, lowering the remaining cooldown of your normal skills by 5%. However, after using a Stamina skill, the next basic attack becomes enhanced regardless of whether you performed any other basic attacks before it. This allows you to weave the CDR effect between your skills to significantly hasten your rotation. Enhanced basic attacks must hit a target for the effect to take place.

Meter Generation

• Using skills in this specific order is recommended to minimize the time it takes to fill your meter, as well as ensuring you have a full Shock gauge when that happens.
• If you happen to miss skills during the build-up phase, you can use Celestial Force Barrage to recover, or just wait for Adamantine Assault to come up again.

Burst Rotation

• Each Shock skill should benefit from a full Shock gauge when used.
  • Eye of the Storm should already have Shock gauge from the meter building phase.
  • Falling Blossoms and Violent Waves fill your Shock gauge as they charge, so they can be used without having to fill it yourself.
  • If you happen to miss skills during the build-up phase, you can use Celestial Force Barrage to recover.

• During Brawl King Stance, make sure to weave in basic attacks after each Stamina skill in order to lower the cooldown of your skills.
• Violent Waves ends Brawl King Stance, and should be used when the remaining cooldown of Eye of the Storm is lower than 13 seconds.
• Try your best to maintain your Synergy using Crater Strike, even if you aren't planning to attack immediately after.

Stagger Check Rotation

• Using skills in the same order as your meter generation cycle is recommended for most stagger checks, as well as maintaining the flow of your damage rotation, thanks to your skills' naturally high stagger values. However, each check can vary in duration, so you may need to readjust depending on the situation and your party's composition. Remember you can also use a Whirlwind Grenade if you have one equipped!

Gems are another significant aspect of your build, as they directly impact the damage and cooldowns of your skills. You can equip up to 11 gems at a time. Here are the ones you should focus on to maximize this build's potential, listed according to their priority.

Engravings are a core part of your build. You can equip up to five at a time, freely swapping between them.

Recommended Setup

• Grudge
• Super Charge
• Keen Blunt Weapon
• Cursed Doll
• Adrenaline

Bracelets provide beneficial effects to yourself or to your party members depending on the rolls they have.

The primary goal is to get the main stats used by this build - Specialization and Crit. After that, you should be aiming for Special Rolls to get more damage. Please note that this system is heavily reliant on RNG, and you should not expect to get much more beyond your main stats early on.

The recommended Elixir Set for this build is Master.
