Phase Five revolves around the gear you get from Constellation Tower, Alice Twisted Madness, 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. | 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. | The Items from Alice Twisted Madness can provide S.Matk and Magic Damage with Element or provide a lot of VCT Reduction.

=== Phase Six === | |||
AKA the final phase. Phase Six involves the toughest gear to get from Hall of Life and Chapter 1. | |||
There are no new EXO weapons in Chapter 1, as such I excluded them here. However, if you want to continue to use EXO, then continue to use the Time Gap/TDRC combo. | |||
TDRC/Dimensions Soul Stick remains still a good single target damage option (for bosses) and from our testing isn't outdamaged by the frontier combo. | |||
As a note: {{#item:550195}} allows the use of a shield, as it is one-handed. | |||
{{#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! | |||
