• Absolute Zero + Frostlord’s Touch A3+
• Radiant Judgement [A3+] + Fan Of Knives / Guardian / Ally: Felino / Ally: Jerry
• Hydra A3+
• Magnetic Storm [A3+] (acts more like a wind debuff on enemies)
• Zeus’s Wrath A3
• Gravity Distortion Field A3 + Force of Mother Nature [A3] (for Ally-focused build)
• Sword Tomb

w/o Mythics

• Axe Frenzy A3+
• Leaping Strike A8 (for DEF reduction)

Relics

Solo / No Allies (you’ll need to manually control your character):

• Corporeal Converter (A necessity for high Conqueror stages)
• Tyrant’s Sheath
• Fighter’s Balanced Scale
• Force Field Generator (to tank a few hits from Bosses or Mad Marmoths)
• A Pile of Old Cards (random ATK boost)
• Awakening Charm + Berserker’s Gauntlet (requires very low HP state, might out-perform Fighter’s Scale and Glorious Treasure Trove, useful in heal-limited bosses)
• Melanite Whetstone (if physical is your main element / you don’t have Corporeal Converter / have Corpo but need to reach max 90+% physical RES Pen)

With Allies

• Ares’s Insignia [+ gear enchant (+30% atk)] (A necessity for allies to actually deal any damage)
• Titan’s Bracelet* (Ally’s DMG was reported to be inefficient)
• Holy Gem (all increases DEF by ally count, scaling +15% if Regret is included, Zenonia exclusive)
• Medal of Valor (all increases ASPD by ally count)

Apply to both builds

• Wishing Orb (20+% chance to reset a skill’s cooldown on use)
• Thick Hide (reduces any damage recieved by % amount)
• Undine’s Glass Orb (reduces water skills cooldown by further x%)
• Forbidden Decoction (if physical is your main element / you don’t have Corporeal Converter / have Corpo but need to reach max 90+% physical RES Pen, also affects allies)
• Spirit Stone / War Hammer (use one of them – offer higher ATK than Glorious Treasure Trove)
• Surtr’s Flame + Dark Catalyst (for periodic damage)
• Zeus’s Lightning & Ice Dragon’s Fang (for extra damage on basic attacks)
• Nymph’s Wing Dust (boost Wind skills, stronger with its enchant)
• Gnome’s Necklace (boost Earth skills)
• Fill the rest of your available slots with Legendary-Mythic relics for the [Citrinitas – Glorious Treasure Trove] attribute perk.
• [Citrinitas – Glorious Treasure Trove] effect: +3-30% ATK per equipped Legendary-Mythic relic.

Allies

• Water: Inabelle / Merina (with enchant)
• Wind: Delia / Gabriel / Regret A8 (Zenonia exclusive)

Notes

• For Allies build to work, you’ll need a lot of All Element RES Pen% on soul parts since Active Effects don’t affect ally stats.
