Night's Edge Soul Eater Build Guide for Raid
Build
is the “consistent damage” build of Soul Eater. It changes the Possession Gauge into a new gauge called “Boundary gauge”, and buffs Scythe and Reaper skill damage.
It’s a fast-paced, tempo-switching playstyle.
The build displayed below is the 413 build, for 422 the skills are mentioned in the alternatives section underneath.

How to play
Make sure to use to maintain your synergy.
Your playstyle revolves around trying to generate 3 Soul Stone shards and converting them into Boundary gauge. For this you use Scythe Skills and Death Skills in “combos” to generate just enough Soul Stone shards, and then use your Reaper Skills to generate Boundary Gauge.
You can also use your Reaper Skills without 3 Soul Stone shards, but you generate less Boundary gauge. This is useful if you don’t allow your Boundary gauge to decay, since consuming 3 Soul Stone shards generate 30% Boundary gauge while casting them with less shards generates 10%.
This Boundary Gauge depletes over time after a short period, but if you fill it fast enough you will enter the “Boundary State” for 12 seconds, which acts as an Exhaustion mechanic where your Reaper Skills are disabled but your Scythe Skills get boosted with extra damage, lower cooldowns, and you get attack and move speed, and passive mana recovery.
Bear in mind that these are flexible, and you have as a backup generator in case you miss any skill or you need more Soul Stone shards. Regardless, learning the few skill combos to generate Soul Stone shards efficiently is a good thing to do.

The displayed combat stats are for the Hallucination set.
If you're running the Nightmare set, you should go 1800 crit, and 600 swiftness.
For additional effects in your bracelet (apart from Crit and Swiftness), you want to get any of the following:
- Hammer
- Wedge (ideally paired with Hammer)
- Fervor
- Superiority
- Circulate
- Precise
- Assail
Dexterity stat or Weapon Damage are decent-enough options but provide less damage than the bonus effects.
