Hello I'm Sophie/Joan (Guide Date: 2/Sep/2025). You would not see me that often playing in D1/Biosphere Venom/Biosphere Temple with my Soul Ascetic (SA) char R.ClickToRename254519. I think I will play SA more though, because I think my flight hours on this character are lacking (you can expect more sporadic future updates as I discover stuff). Magic builds speaking, I still play on my EM more, but this job definitely offers niches that EM doesn't have, namely mobility and harder hitting single target skills. Thinking back, I really should have been telling people to play SA instead as starting class whenever someone asked in #global, because the barrier of the requirements are easier to fulfill compared to the likes of EM, because SA talisman build doesn't need ACD% and therefore doesn't need {{#item:4403}} or the likes (and that managing ASPD is easier).

This guide is merely what I do on my talisman SA and is not optimized (dm me on discord/In-game if you can improve upon it). I just tried to write it out, because I think other SA main guide writers are inactive (retirement/hiatus), while the guide/discussion demands from new players are as high as ever (as of 2/Sep/2025) and I saw many new faces playing SA within the last 1-2 months. Also I have to state that: there's not really a different playstyle or skill/stat allocation between Talisman of Blue Dragon Build ('''Single Target Talisman Build''') vs Talisman of White Tiger Build ('''Area Talisman Build'''), so you should definitely have both at the same time on your general to go build. The exception might be if you want to maximize Single Target Talisman Build on skills while also grabbing {{#skill:5432}}, which you will probably do in instances like HoL in situations where there is no other SA available. Between both builds, most of it is simply the matter of gear swapping (most significantly between the weapons), so I would advice you readers to familiarize yourself with gear swapping (even easier now that there's a custom skill created for that very purpose).

{{#skill:5432}}: A party buff that provides a large damage modifier: Physical melee% and ranged%, and Magical Ele%.
