[[Chapter 1]] brings us an upgrade from the current Furious set to the new combo consisting of {{#item:400982}} + {{#item:540110}} as part of the [[Frontier_Rune_Crown|Frontier Rune Crown and Weapon series]] which are obtained from the [[Zero Cell Sector]].

Post-Frontier Gears/Chapter 1 updates, I am happy to share that Spell Fist has advanced from being a meme build to being a viable and almost competitive build to play. Now what makes this combo different from the Furious set is that it will let you autocast the Arch Mage skill '''{{#skill:5220}}''' at a 60% chance every time you cast your Magician skill '''{{#skill:13}}'''. What's more, Soul Vulcan Strike will be autocasted <u>coming from any sources of casted Soul Strike</u> including ones from procs such as our own '''{{#skill:279}}''' and {{#item:420003}}, and {{#item:18666}}. This eliminates the problem of not being able to equip {{#item:470338}} to boost your 4th job skills unlike Furious set where you would always need to equip the {{#item:470265}} or otherwise the autocast shenanigans won't happen. With the Chapter 1 update also comes new set of cards, and one of them that stands out the most is the {{#item:300666}}which lets you autocast another Arch Mage skill called '''{{#skill:5233}}''' and the Abyss Chaser skill '''{{#skill:6515}}''' at a 10% and 7% chance, respectively. You are not just autocasting 1st/2nd/3rd job skills anymore, but 4th job skills which all scale with your SPL and have higher base MAtk%. | ||
The only downside I could see with this build is it will need more CD reduction for our gap closer skill '''{{#skill:6517}}'''. Having an 11x11 AoE with SVS is good but having the need to get closer to each individual monster is not. I hope Gravity would consider decreasing the innate CD of Psychic Stream to make this build more viable for field farming. Now, while Spell Fist build has improved a lot, I still see don't see it being stronger than our autocast '''https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5380.png <span style="background:linear-gradient(to right, #FF3F34 0%, #2C6FBB 25%, #268F15 50%, #B5651D 75%, #800080 100%); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Elemental Buster</span>''' build, and it shouldn't really replace it and we should just appreciate them separately on their own. Spell Fist build will cater to a niche few which is not bad, and Elemental Buster build for the majority of the player base which is understandable. Again, play whatever build you love the most. That way, you will have more fun in the game when you play something that you genuinely love doing. More planned upgrades for Spell Fist will arrive with '''Chapter 2''' once we get the [https://www.divine-pride.net/database/item/300774/kROM <nowiki>[MVP] Flame Anima Card</nowiki>], which will allow us to autocast our own '''{{#skill:5372}}''' skill and another Arch Mage skill '''{{#skill:5235}}''' at a 4% and 12% chance, respectively. This card goes to your right accessory and is considered the cousin of Bulgasari card. | The only downside I could see with this build is it will need more CD reduction for our gap closer skill '''{{#skill:6517}}'''.
