Choi's SVS Arch Mage Guide: Difference between revisions

Also, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has helped me, as I learned and continue to learn AM!

== Notes ==

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!  

{{#item:490052}} and {{#item:490053}} will still be useful to have while working on Phase 5 due to its race modifiers against dragon which will be very strong against Betelgeuse and Jabberwocky.

=== Phase Five ===

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.  

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.

== Crimson Arrow Build ==  

While the SVS build relies heavily on its ground skills for DPS, the Crimson Arrow build does not. As such, the Crimson Arrow build does not incur a DPS loss from the damage loss on Climax 4 All Bloom and benefits from the Fire bonus.   

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]].
