After Cast Delay is one of the most valuable stats for a Full Support Cardinal. | After Cast Delay is one of the most valuable stats for a Full Support Cardinal. | ||
Many of your strongest support skills have little or no cooldown, but are instead limited by their After Cast Delay. Reducing ACD allows you to cast heals, buffs, and utility skills much more frequently. | Many of your strongest support skills have little or no cooldown, but are instead limited by their After Cast Delay.

Reducing ACD lets you cast it much more rapidly. If your goal is to maximize support efficiency, you should aim for approximately '''96% After Cast Delay Reduction''', which allows skills like '''{{#skill:78}}''' to be spammed nearly as fast as the game's mechanics allow: 7.14 per second. Once your Cast Times are optimized and your ASPD is high enough, investing in ACD is what truly makes the class feel incredibly fast and responsive. | Reducing ACD lets you cast it much more rapidly.

'''Note: While After Cast Delay Reduction (ACD) is one of the most impactful stats for a Full Support Cardinal, it is also typically the most difficult to obtain in large amounts. Because of this, I recommend focusing on Variable Cast Time (VCT), Fixed Cast Time (FCT), and Attack Speed (ASPD) first. Once you've reached your desired thresholds for those three, you can begin optimizing your gear for ACD. Building your character in this order will make progression much smoother and prevent you from sacrificing essential stats too early. | '''Note: While After Cast Delay Reduction (ACD) is one of the most impactful stats for a Full Support Cardinal, it is also typically the most difficult to obtain in large amounts.

That said, I only recommend investing into LUK after you've already reached comfortable amounts of Variable Cast Time Reduction (VCT), Fixed Cast Time Reduction (FCT), and Attack Speed (ASPD). Those three stats have a much greater impact on your performance as a Full Support Cardinal, while LUK serves as an excellent luxury stat once your core requirements have been met. | That said, I only recommend investing into LUK after you've already reached comfortable amounts of Variable Cast Time Reduction (VCT), Fixed Cast Time Reduction (FCT), and Attack Speed (ASPD).
