=== Relevant Skills ===
'''Talisman''':
* {{#skill:5273}}: One of your two main damaging abilities. Provides strong damage to a target in a 9x9 AOE. It does more damage per cast than Framen, but this skill has a 1s cooldown.  
* {{#skill:5429}}: Your main ability while leveling. It provides good damage and a large 11x11 ground targeted AOE.  
* {{#skill:5284}}: One of your two main damaging abilities. Provides strong damage to a target in a 7x7 AOE. It does less damage per cast than Arbitrium, but this skill only has a .3s cooldown. As it has a .5s After Cast Delay, you will want to have 40% After Cast Delay reduction for this skill.  
* {{#skill:5427}}: Has a huge 15x15 AOE around the caster but provides significantly less damage than Black Tortoise. However, it is super useful for farming and once you get your Time Dimension Combo, every time you cast White Tiger, you will auto-cast Black Tortoise.  
* {{#skill:5279}}: A very powerful ground targeted ability with a 11x11 AOE. It does neutral damage which will be helpful against holy mobs. However, this skill has a 5s cooldown, so it should not be your main skill.  
* {{#skill:5431}}: A powerful ability but its main benefit is that it activates the Blessing of the Four Directions which provides a very significant buff to all of your Talisman Skills. To activate it, you cast Blue Dragon -> White Tiger -> Red Phoenix -> Black Tortoise -> Circle of Direction and Elementals. It's confusing at first, but you'll quickly get the hang of it!
* {{#skill:2046}}: Decreases Holy resistances of all enemies on screen with a 90% chance.
* {{#skill:5428}} and {{#skill:5426}}: While not powerful on their own, the combo becomes very powerful for single targets with the Time Dimension combo that auto-casts Red Phoenix when Blue Dragon is cast.
* {{#skill:5281}}: Gives SPL/WIS/STA to a target.
 
* {{#skill:5271}}: Provides a buff to the target that allows them to ignore 25% MRES.
'''EXO''':
* {{#skill:5278}}: Restores HP and SP in an AOE and provides a huge 50 P.ATK and S.ATK buff.  
* {{#skill:5425}}: Your main skill in the EXO build. It is very powerful and has a large 13x13 AOE around the caster.
* {{#skill:2040}}: For early leveling, Adoramus will be your main skill before you get to your Fourth Class.
* {{#skill:5421}}: Allows the user to collect souls while {{#skill:2609}} is active. Everytime you use EXO, you will have to cast Soul Gathering, so your combo will be Soul Gathering -> EXO -> Soul Gathering -> EXO, and so on.
* {{#skill:5422}}: A really useful supportive skill that provides HP and SP in an AOE. However, it also provides a huge buff to EXO when the user is under the Totem of Tutelary effect.
 
'''General''':
* {{#skill:425}}: A super useful ability that allows you to change the element of your damaging abilities. Use this effectively to take advantage of [[Elements|elemental weaknesses]].
* {{#skill:426}}: A movement ability that allows you to leap a decent distance and over terrain.  
* {{#skill:420}}: A self buff that provides a 20% chance of blocking long ranged abilities.
* {{#skill:465}}: Provides a buff that resurrects you when you die. But surely you won't ever die if you follow my guide right?
* {{#skill:463}}: Provides a buff that trades some of your SP to gain HP whenever you are hit.  
* {{#skill:2612}}: On the other hand, trades some of your HP to gain SP.
* {{#skill:5424}}: A damaging ability that also restores some of your SP.
* {{#skill:2601}}: Curses a target making it take increased damage from Shadow element.
 
'''Supportive''':
* {{#skill:2599}} Fairy Soul: Provides MATK and VCT% reduction
* {{#skill:5420}}: Provides S.MATK
* {{#skill:5423}}: Provides an increase in damage against water, wind, earth, fire, and neutral element
* {{#skill:5432}}: A party buff that provides a large buff in damage and recovers AP
* {{#skill:5418}}: Provides HP recovery every 3 seconds
* {{#skill:5419}}: Provides P.ATK
* {{#skill:2598}} Falcon Soul: Provides ATK and HIT
* {{#skill:2596}} Golem Soul: Provides DEF and MDEF
* {{#skill:2597}} Shadow Soul: Provides Critical and ASPD
* {{#skill:2605}}: A party buff that provides HP recovery every 3 seconds
Generally, if I am playing by myself, Fairy Soul, Talisman of Magician, Talisman of Protection, and Talisman of Five Elements are the main buffs that I provide to myself. If I have the available skill points for Soul of Heaven and Earth, then I will cast that on myself as well.
 
'''Leveling''' is a bit difficult for Soul Reaper before reaching Soul Ascetic due to the Soul requirements on skills. As such, I recommend leveling with either {{#skill:2602}} and {{#skill:2604}} or {{#skill:2600}} and {{#skill:2601}}.
* {{#skill:2602}}: At level 10, Espa has no soul requirements, so is easy to spam. Affected by {{#skill:425}}
* {{#skill:2604}}: Very powerful ability but can only be used after Espa has been cast. Consumes 1 soul energy at level 10. Affected by {{#skill:425}}
* {{#skill:2600}}: Has no soul requirements, so it is easy to spam. It does Shadow damage.
* {{#skill:2601}}: Curses a target making it take increased damage from {{#skill:2600}} and increased damage from Shadow element. Consumes 3 Soul Energy
