Choi's Soul Ascetic Guide: Difference between revisions

* {{#skill:5427}}: Talisman of Black Tortoise will be your main ability while leveling. It provides good damage and a large 11x11 ground targeted AOE.  

* {{#skill:5429}}: Talisman of White Tiger has a huge 15x15 AOE around the caster but provides significantly less damage than Black Tortoise. However, it is super useful for farming and once you get your Time Dimension Combo, every time you cast White Tiger, you will auto-cast Black Tortoise.  

* {{#skill:5431}}: Circle of Direction and Elementals is a powerful ability but its main benefit is that it activates the Blessing of the Four Directions which provides a very significant buff to all of your Talisman Skills. To activate it, you cast Blue Dragon -> White Tiger -> Red Phoenix -> Black Tortoise -> Circle of Direction and Elementals. It's confusing at first, but you'll quickly get the hang of it!  

* {{#skill:5428}} Red Phoenix and {{#skill:5426}} Blue Dragon: While not powerful on their own, the combo becomes very powerful for single targets with the Time Dimension combo that auto-casts Red Phoenix when Blue Dragon is cast.

* {{#skill:5425}}: Exorcism of Malicious Soul is your main skill in the EXO build. It is very powerful and has a large 13x13 AOE around the caster.  

* {{#skill:5421}}: Soul Gathering allows the user to collect souls while {{#skill:2609}} is active. Everytime you use EXO, you will have to cast Soul Gathering, so your combo will be Soul Gathering -> EXO -> Soul Gathering -> EXO, and so on.

* {{#skill:5422}}: Totem of Tutelary is a really useful supportive skill that provides HP and SP in an AOE. However, it also provides a huge buff to EXO when the user is under the Totem of Tutelary effect.  

* {{#skill:425}}: Mild Wind is a super useful ability that allows you to change the element of your damaging abilities. Use this effectively to take advantage of [[Elements|elemental weaknesses]].  

* {{#skill:426}}: Leap is movement ability that allows you to leap a decent distance and over terrain.  

* {{#skill:420}}: Tumbling is a self buff that provides a 20% chance of blocking long ranged abilities.

* {{#skill:465}}: Kaite provides a buff that resurrects you when you die. But surely you won't ever die if you follow my guide right?  

* {{#skill:463}}: Kaahi provides a buff that trades some of your SP to gain HP whenever you are hit.  

* {{#skill:2612}}: Kaute on the other hand trades some of your HP to gain SP.  

* {{#skill:5424}}: Talisman of Soul Stealing is a damaging ability that also restores some of your SP.  

* {{#skill:2599}}: Fairy Soul provides MATK and VCT% reduction

* {{#skill:5420}}: Talisman of Magician provides S.MATK

* {{#skill:5423}}: Talisman of Five Elements provides an increase in damage against water, wind, earth, fire, and neutral element

* {{#skill:5432}}: Soul of Heaven and Earth is a party buff that provides a large buff in damage and recovers AP

* {{#skill:5418}}: Talisman of Protection provides HP recovery every 3 seconds

* {{#skill:5419}}: Talisman of Warrior provides P.ATK

* {{#skill:2598}}: Falcon Soul provides ATK and HIT  

* {{#skill:2596}}: Golem Soul provides DEF and MDEF

* {{#skill:2597}}: Shadow Soul provides Critical and ASPD

* {{#skill:2605}}: Soul Unity is a party buff that provides HP recovery every 3 seconds

Generally, if I am playing by myself, Fairy Soul, Talisman of Magician, and Talisman of Five Elements is the main buffs that I provide to myself. If I have the available skill points for Soul of Heaven and Earth, then I will cast that on myself as well.
