The Soul Vulcan Strike build has a very fluid progression that will allow the user to be strong throughout all parts of the game. Among the Arch Mage skills, Soul Vulcan Strike has a Fixed Cast Time at 1s. Along with its short cooldown, its high damage and 11 x 11 AoE make Soul Vulcan Strike a very effective ability for leveling and farming. Additionally, with the Warlock Telekenesis Intense skill providing a 3x damage buff for ghost damage, Soul Vulcan Strike scales very well into the late game allowing you to MVP even the toughest MVPs.

Among the Arch Mage skills, Soul Vulcan Strike has the shortest Fixed Cast Time at 1s.

Additionally, with the Warlock Telekenesis Intense skill providing a 3x damage buff for ghost damage, Soul Vulcan Strike scales very well into the late game allowing you to MVP even the toughest MVPs.

However, due to the nature of Dim Glacier Weapons providing large damage bonuses to specific abilities and the strength of specific elemental MVP cards, you will be mostly gated to having Soul Vulcan Strike as your main magic damage ability. As such, you will be weaker against [https://muhro.eu/flux/?module=monster&action=index&name=&mvp=yes&size=-1&race=-1&element=Neutral&p=1 Neutral], [https://muhro.eu/flux/?module=monster&action=index&name=&mvp=yes&size=-1&race=-1&element=Holy Holy], [https://muhro.eu/flux/?module=monster&action=index&name=&mvp=yes&size=-1&race=-1&element=Poison Poison], and [https://muhro.eu/flux/?module=monster&action=index&name=&mvp=yes&size=-1&race=-1&element=Dark&p=1 Shadow] Elemental MvPs and mobs (The main ones to note here is Betelgeuse and Jabberwocky). Even so, you will still be a highly effective MVPer!

=== Phase Five ===

~~AKA the final phase.~~ Phase Five revolves around the gear you get from Constellation Tower, Alice Twisted Madness, Biosphere Depths and Depths 2~~, and Hall of Life. Of these, Hall of Life is the most difficult~~.

Phase Five revolves around the gear you get from Constellation Tower, Alice Twisted Madness, and Biosphere Depths and Depths 2.

The Enchants on the Stellar Spell Seal provide a large boost in VCT reduction that you may need after losing the Convertible Magical Wing and Wolf Robe, so I would prioritize this if you are having trouble with VCT.

Line 226:

The Items from Alice Twisted Madness can provide S.Matk and Magic Damage with Element or provide a lot of VCT Reduction. You should get enchants according to the amount of VCT reduction you need for your build.

~~The choice between~~ the {{#item:~~400535~~}}/{{#item:~~640054~~}} ~~combo vs~~. {{#item:~~550089~~}} ~~will depend~~ on you~~. The~~ {{#item:~~640054~~}} ~~has stronger DPS due to the reduction in cooldown reduction~~ and ~~will be significantly stronger if you consider its enchants. However,~~ {{#item:~~550089~~}} ~~allows better survivability since it allows the use of a shield,~~ and ~~it provides other stats you may need such as ACD, ASPD, etc~~.

I recommend sticking with Dim/Vesper over TDRC/Time Gap, as the investment might not be worthwhile since Yorscalp/Wepawet will be better for two handed builds. However, if you think you need the upgrade ahead of Phase Six, go for it!

{{#item:400724}} is much stronger than {{#item:400111}} with the proc on {{#item:313427}}. Otherwise, {{#item:400111}} is stronger.

Dependent on market prices of material and parties, you may be able to skip {{#item:480233}} and work on {{#item:480351}} and {{#item:490485}}.

=== Phase Six ===

AKA the final phase. Phase Six involves the toughest gear to get from Hall of Life and Chapter 1.

The choice between {{#item:640067}} vs. {{#item:550089}} will depend on you. The {{#item:640067}} has significantly stronger dps. However, {{#item:550089}} allows better survivability since it allows the use of a shield, and it provides other stats you may need such as ACD, ASPD, etc. As such, I kept it there for one handed enjoyers.

{{#item:400724}} is much stronger than {{#item:400111}} with the proc on {{#item:313427}}. Otherwise, {{#item:400111}} is stronger.

For the enchants on {{#item:400724}}, the level 4 enchants are very difficult to get, so most players settle for the level 3 enchant. Don't let me stop you though!

Crimson Arrow is a pretty expensive build because it has a lot of requirements to maximize dps. {{#skill:5235}} has a 1.5s FCT, .3s cooldown, and a .5s aftercast delay. To maximize your casts per second, your goal should be to get 1.5s fixed cast reduction, 100% VCT reduction, and at least 40% ACD reduction and 185 ASPD. Additionally, you can opt to get 100% VCT through stats. [[Choi's_Guide_To_Magic#Stats_and_Traits|More information on VCT, ACD, and ASPD requirements can be found in the Guide to Magic]].

The Gear in Phase Five is assuming that you are using this build for Rigel and Betel. The Gear in Phase Six is the final end game gear.

Overall, {{#item:640064}} is the stronger DPS build and focuses on Climax 3. {{#item:400724}} will provide more dps with the {{#item:313427}} proc. Otherwise, {{#item:400981}} is stronger.

{{#item:400535}}/{{#item:640049}} is the stronger Crimson Arrow focused build and focuses on Climax 4.

+AKA the final phase. Phase Six involves the toughest gear to get from Hall of Life and Chapter 1.
+The choice between {{#item:640067}} vs. {{#item:550089}} will depend on you. The {{#item:640067}} has significantly stronger dps. However, {{#item:550089}} allows better survivability since it allows the use of a shield, and it provides other stats you may need such as ACD, ASPD, etc. As such, I kept it there for one handed enjoyers.
+{{#item:400724}} is much stronger than {{#item:400111}} with the proc on {{#item:313427}}. Otherwise, {{#item:400111}} is stronger.
+For the enchants on {{#item:400724}}, the level 4 enchants are very difficult to get, so most players settle for the level 3 enchant. Don't let me stop you though!
+Shout out to Aewu for helping me with this section!

 Crimson Arrow is a pretty expensive build because it has a lot of requirements to maximize dps. {{#skill:5235}} has a 1.5s FCT, .3s cooldown, and a .5s aftercast delay. To maximize your casts per second, your goal should be to get 1.5s fixed cast reduction, 100% VCT reduction, and at least 40% ACD reduction and 185 ASPD. Additionally, you can opt to get 100% VCT through stats. [[Choi's_Guide_To_Magic#Stats_and_Traits|More information on VCT, ACD, and ASPD requirements can be found in the Guide to Magic]].
