How to play
Your core gameplay loop consists of applying your synergy with Dagger skills, building your identity gauge with Shadow skills, and once filled, using the identity to go into Persona mode.
Your secondary and also equally as important goal is to keep on cooldown at all times, as they reduce the cooldown of your Swoop skills.
You want to be at the back of the boss at ALL times when performing these powerful Swoop skills, as she is a back attacker.
In order to get into Persona Mode you need to fill your green identity meter.
Any green, purple skills or auto attacks will fill your identity meter.
Your ultimate skill, , will instantly fill your green identity gauge.
After activating Persona Mode, most actions will cancel it such as; auto attacks, skills and , so make sure to use a red skill to take advantage of the buff. After leaving Persona Mode, your gauge is reset. Note that general movement and using HP potions will not cancel Persona Mode.

- Persona Mode
With this example cycle, you require 1714 Specialization with Lv. 4 on to perform this rotation without any auto-attacks.

Barricade
is a decent option, but as of the current version it is still fairly awkward and slow to use as you have to slot your Swoop skills with Protection runes in order to make full use of . The shield from it lingers long enough for Barricade’s damage increase to apply to the Swoop skill.
However, Barricade’s damage increase does not work on the rest of your skills, which is something to keep in mind.

The main stat for Lunar Voice is Specialization. It increases Swoop skill damage, identity meter gain and Awakening skill damage.
Your secondary stat can be either Swiftness or Crit, which mostly boils down to personal preference.
Crit Secondary
- Necklace - Spec + Crit
- Earrings - Spec
- Rings - Spec
- Bracelet - Spec + Swift
This build offers a higher damage ceiling and consistent crits. This however does mean that there is crit that goes to waste from multiple sources, making crit synergies a waste in the same party.
Swift Secondary
- Necklace - Spec + Crit
- Earrings - Spec
- Rings - Spec
- Bracelet - Spec + Swift
This build offers increased attack and movement speed, as well as cooldown reduction. It benefits from a crit synergy, and does need to rely on . At the same time the damage ceiling is lower and needs to take advantage of the increased cooldown reduction or it's losing damage.
