The main purpose of this guide is to provide information on the gear progression for Magic Damage and Full Support Cardinal Builds. For Magic builds, this guide should be read in tandem with [[Choi's Guide To Magic]] which provides more general information about magic classes. However, as the gear and concepts are similar across different builds, this guide should also be helpful for other magic builds. Please feel free to reach out to me (IGN: Choi or Tokki) for any questions or feedback!

Due to it being full support, Cardinal focuses more heavily on stats and bonuses that other classes might not focus as much on. Cardinal is also a pretty flexible build, so you can adjust your build according to what works best for you! Whether you want to be the tankiest cardinal on the server, buff your friends 10 times per second, or have the strongest heal you can have, it's totally up to you. However, here is how I, personally, prioritize my stats:

Cardinal is also a pretty flexible build, so you can adjust your build according to what works best for you! Whether you want to be the tankiest cardinal on the server, buff your friends 10 times per second, or have the strongest heal you can have, it's totally up to you. However, here is how I, personally, prioritize my stats:  
# Cast Time Reduction: Generally, your goal will be to reach instant cast or near instant cast in the end game, so you will want to make sure you have enough FCT Reduction and VCT Reduction. Due to the +17 int and dex provided by {{#skill:2041}} and the stats you can afford not indexing into damage, I opt for VCT reduction through Stats rather than gear. This means you will want reduction by getting your ((Dex x 2) + INT) = 530.

This means you will want reduction by getting your ((Dex x 2) + INT) = 530. However, 100% VCT reduction through gear is just as viable, and you can opt for this route as well.  
# Tankiness: Overall, HP and resists, are super effective on Cardinal. Since {{#skill:5269}} scales off the target's HP, your healing will scale off your own HP if you cast it on yourself. Additionally, since you won't be sacrificing stats for damage, you can afford to invest in tank stats.

# After Cast Delay Reduction: Many of a Cardinal's main supportive abilities have zero to low cooldowns but high after cast delay. For example, {{#skill:54}} has 0 cooldown but 3s After Cast Delay. As such, After Cast Delay Reduction is a stat that I index very highly into.

# Attack Speed: Attack Speed decreases the animation delay of your skills. Once you hit enough After Cast Delay Reduction, your skills will start being gated by your attack speed. As such, Attack Speed is a very useful stat for Cardinals

# Healing Effectiveness and H.Plus: Boosts the strength of your heals. If you think you are already tanky enough and have enough ACD and ASPD, then healing effectiveness will help boost your support abilities.

Also big shout out to Miku Kitsune for his recommendations on this.

There are other useful abilities, but these are the ones that I use the most often. In general, playing Cardinal may feel like playing the piano with all the keys you will press!

{{#item:2864}} is an interesting item, as with the {{#item: 4803}} enchant, the cooldown on {{#skill:2051}} will be reduced to 0. If you are finding yourself healing others often, I would recommend this item. If you are mainly supporting through buffs, then the Safety Combo will be best.

Also big shout out to Soothing and [[Fuka's_Serious_Guide_for_FS_Cardinal]] both of whom I used as a reference for this phase.  
The {{#item:15399}} and the {{#item:32248}}/{{#item:32249}} and {{#item:32251}} will provide much more tanky stats. The {{#item:450182}}{{#item:490120}}{{#item:490121}} will provide more ACD Reduction.

During Phase Two, I highly recommend joining public Constellation Tower and Alice runs or running them with your friends to start getting the materials for CT and Alice gear.  
During Phase Two, I highly recommend joining public Constellation Tower and Alice runs or running them with your friends to start getting the materials for CT and Alice gear.  


I personally prefer the Glade Rune Boots over the Hero Boots-LT, as the Glade Rune Boots provides more bonus HP. However, the {{#item:310912}} provides a chance of +100 vit when receiving attacks, albeit at a low proc chance. Additionally, switching to the Glade Rune Boots allows a slot for the Light of Cure.
In this phase, I would consider whether you will go for VCT Reduction through Stats or through Gears.
* For VCT through Stats, you can ignore any enchants that provide VCT reduction %. Instead, lean more towards Dex over Vit enchants, but having some Vit enchants is not bad. You will want to find a balance though. Generally, if you are using more DEX than VIT in your base stats VIT to get instant cast, then DEX enchants are better and vis-versa.
* For VCT through Gear, you will forgo any DEX enchants and opt for VIT instead. Additionally, you should look for more VCT Reduction %, but just make sure that you aren't wasting any enchants or gears after you hit 100% VCT Reduction.
Some gears and enchants to consider when going through VCT through Gear:
* {{#item:19480}} and {{#item:400465}} will provide you VCT%, whereas {{#item:18972}} and {{#item:400537}} will not.
* VCT% enchants will be important on {{#item:16099}}, {{#item: 590049}}, and {{#item:1659}}
* {{#item:490163}} and {{#item:32231}} can provide you VCT%, whereas {{#item:2864}} will not.  
* {{#item:24749}} and {{#item:24750}} can be used instead of {{#item:24339}} and {{#item:24340}}
* Note that your shadow gear can also be enchanted with VCT% options.

DPS Cardinal is a very fun build that provides a mix of supportive abilities and damage that allows you to thrive in both solo play and group play. While you won't be as tanky or have as many supportive abilities as the Full Support Cardinal, you will still have access to some useful buffs and skills like {{#skill:2041}} or {{#skill:54}}. Additionally, Arch Bishop's zero to low fixed cast requirements on Adoramus and Arbitrium make it fairly newbie friendly. However, due to its main fourth class damage skill being Holy element, you will have to be careful where you level and farm, as you won't be able to damage holy element.


Big shout out to Chyester for helping me test a few Cardinal builds.

* {{#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.

1s Fixed Cast Reduction is what you need. However, 1.5s is better since most of your supportive skills have 1.5s Fixed Cast. It's up to you to decide whether you want to upgrade to 1.5s by getting the {{#item:470088}} with the {{#item:310602}} or whether you want to sit on the {{#item:470021}} until Phase Three.

The [[Brilliant_Light_Accessories| Brilliant]]/[[Sinful_Accessories| Sinful]] Sapphire Accessory Pairs give a good amount of damage and provide .2s and .3s FCT reduction respectively. With the {{#item:25170}} that gives .3s FCT reduction, you'll have a total of 1s or 1.1s FCT reduction. Additionally, you can get a {{#item:1000859}} for .5s FCT reduction. I do not recommend getting a {{#item:25067}}if it's too expensive, as you'll already have enough FCT!<br>

For Talisman Builds, the Time Dimension Combo will be the biggest upgrade for the build, and you will be dropping Vesper Helm for the TD Crown. However, Depth 2 is a very difficult map, so you won't be able to farm there until Phase 5. That being said, feel free to Grade and upgrade your Vesper Helm or keep it at +9 or +12 or continue to use the Survival Circlet-LT until you can get to the TD Combo.
For Arbitrium, the Time Dimension Combo will be the biggest upgrade for the build, and you will be dropping Vesper Helm for the TD Crown.

For EXO Builds, you will continue to use the Vesper Helm, so you will want to Grade and Enhance it.
