Upgrade Skills:

- For upgrade skills, get the 2 skills which add attack for sword FS, and the 2 which add magic for magic FS. It is also recommended to get 2 defense upgrades, as well as one def rate upgrade, and of course the hp upgrade.
- For equipment, get sword amp and crits for sword FS, and magic amp and crits for magic FS.
- Similarly, epaulet/ring/bracelet of fighter for sword FS, epaulet/ring/bracelet of sage for magic FS.
- You should use vampiric items when having troubles surviving. Examples of such places include Lakeside, Mutant Forest, Pontus Ferrum, and B2F.

Combos and Skills:

Combos:

Notes:
- For PvE, stun and AoEs are of importance. For PvP, DPS takes priority.
- Cannons: 360 degree AoE, 45% knockback, 2 sec cast time.
- Lances: Limit 1 piercing, 40% knockdown, 1.8 sec cast time.
- Lances will have higher DPS than cannons with a high magic stat.
- Earth>Fire>Aqua~Ice in order of highest to lowest DPS.
- Lightning has highest raw damage, but has longest cast time and is poor in DPS, and thus useless to me.




Sword FS:

PvE (stun combo):
blade of judgement 12
shield break 9
shield splinter 15/18

PvP:
(start with)
shield splinter 15
(then cycle)
shield break 9
shield splinter 15
shield explosion 19

Or simply:
shield break 9
shield splinter 18
shield explosion 19

Magic FS:

PvE (stun combo):
blade of judgement 9
stone cannon 20
fire cannon 20
aqua cannon 20
crystal cannon 20

If you want the easier way out with four skills:
blade of judgement 9
aqua/crystal cannon 18
stone cannon 20
fire cannon 20
aqua/crystal cannon 18

PvP (for high magic only, preferably above 800):
terra lance 20
fire lance 20
aqua lance 20
stone cannon 20
fire cannon 20

If low magic:
stone cannon 20
terra lance 20
fire cannon 20
fire lance 20
aqua cannon 20

You can choose to include shield break or shield splinter in both combos as a finishing move, as they deal very high damage when they crit (which happens often for a FS).

Note that PvP combos are also used for bosses immune to stun.
