Spell Fist build hasn't changed that much since its implementation during the 3rd job era. It's only gotten stronger like most skills that came with it and before it due to the 4th job traits. Spell Fist gameplay remains the same wherein you'll need to aim and cast your chosen elemental bolt skill first on a target then immediately apply Spell Fist. Though for the 4th jobs skill tree, it's gotten a blink skill in the form of '''{{#skill:6517}}''' which made farming as a Spell Fist EM much tolerable. All of our High Elementals on Passive Mode also complements Spell Fist. When in Passive Mode, your bolt skills corresponding to the summoned High Elementals gets increased base damage and you have a chance to autocast the highest level learned of that bolt skill. And that's the extent of what's improved with Spell Fist so far; most of the 4th job skills complement the caster build of an EM. | Spell Fist build hasn't changed that much since its implementation during the 3rd job era.

I've tried Spell Fist too and built the gears needed to "make it work" but it's still haunted by the curse of being in melee range and lack of wide AoE making it hard to use while farming. Its main source of damage will be coming from outdated 1st Job Mage skills with the likes of '''{{#skill:19}}''', '''{{#skill:14}}''', and '''{{#skill:20}}''' and even though these skills will get supplemented by your '''{{#skill:279}}''' and '''{{#skill:482}}''' skills it still won't be enough as the bolts don't scale with your base level and their MAtk% is comparably lower than your 4th Job or even your 3rd Job skills. There are little to none existing equipment that give Spell Fist modifier too besides the {{#icon:18793}}{{#linkitem:118793|Sorc Night Cap}}, which gets outshined by {{#icon:400662}}{{#linkitem:400662|Furious Crown (Elemental Master)}} that lets you autocast the 4th Job skill '''{{#skill:5373}}''' when paired with {{#icon:540091}}{{#linkitem:540091|Furious Grimoire}}. It's also discouraging to use strong garment cards like {{#icon:27362}}{{#linkitem:27362|(MVP) Polluted Spider Queen Card}} because of its side effect of you receiving more damage against all properties. With all that being said, I advise you to play this build for fun and if and only if you really know what you're going into. It'll always going to have that charm as being a unique build to play. | I've tried Spell Fist too and built the gears needed to "make it work" but it's still haunted by the curse of being in melee range and lack of wide AoE making it hard to use while farming.

Remember when I told you Elemental Master is a versatile class? That's because it's actually the best tank to use against '''Betelgeuse''' from [[Constellation Tower]]. The class with its passive '''{{#skill:284}}''' from the Sage branch gives it an inherent +'''20% resistance against Dragon races''' such as Betelgeuse, making it possible for the class to reach '''100% Dragon resistance''' when combined with other gears with more Dragon resistances. You may follow most of this section's tank build against [[Alice_Twisted_Madness#Monsters|Alice Twisted Madness]]' Jabberwocky as him and Betelgeuse are both Dragons, but I cannot guarantee that the execution of your skills will be the same for both MVPs as they have their own separate mechanics. | Remember when I told you Elemental Master is a versatile class?

Upon reaching 100% Dragon resistance, most of Betelgeuse's attacks and skills will only deal "1" damage or will be registered as "1-1-1-1" damage to your EM Tank, and increasing your defensive values further in RES, MRes, DEF, and MDef won't make a difference anymore. On another note, Betelgeuse inflicts a "'''fixed amount of physical damage'''" unto you with a value of '''10''','''000''' that is only reducible by '''{{#skill:404}}'''. It comes in '''two''' ('''2''') '''forms''': '''1st one''' is a series of attacks wherein <u>only the first and initial hit</u> would inflict that 10k to you; '''2nd one''', called as https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/653.png '''Killing Aura''', is a DoT attack that reduces your HP by 10k on certain intervals while you're inside his circle. General physical defensive stats like RES and DEF can't reduce these values and not even your own '''{{#skill:157}}''' decreases it. However, building more HP values (eg. MaxHP or MaxHP%) would indirectly decrease the value of that 10k and placing Wall of Fogs underneath you would further cut down its value by only inflicting 75% of that 10k and thus it will only deal 7,500 damage to you; plus an added 75% chance for those hits and Betelgeuse's '''{{#skill:2217}}''' to miss.

Besides Betelgeuse, there are also moving traps during the 2nd and 3rd Phases of the fight. When you go near and touch any of the traps, it will inflict damage to you according to your MaxHP% ''in variance''. The '''2nd Phase traps''' take out about 80%~85% of your MaxHP, while the '''3rd Phase traps''' take out about 75%~80% of your MaxHP. Like Betel's "fixed 10k damage", the traps' damage are irreducible by elemental resistances (i.e. <span style="color:blue;">Water</span>/<span style="color:red;">Fire</span> Armor or {{#icon:12119}}{{#linkitem:12119|Coldproof Potion}}/{{#icon:12118}}{{#linkitem:12118|Fireproof Potion}}), defensive stats, Energy Coat, and even Wall of Fog; Land Protector won't also protect you against them. The traps also have a small chance to instantly kill you and it will not matter whether you're the tank or the DPS. | Besides Betelgeuse, there are also moving traps during the 2nd and 3rd Phases of the fight.
