Soulfist class description
Gender: Female
Combat style: Melee and long-range combat
Specialization: She can accumulate energy up to level 3 (can be released at a lower level) to activate an aura that greatly increases attack power and speed for a long time.
Soulfist has one of the coolest attribute graphs. This is because this class has no determined specialization. The heroine has all sorts of skills: long-range or close-combat, for a large number of enemies or focusing on a single target. A difficult class for beginners, but once you learn it, playing almost any other class won't be a problem. . Many players find the Soulfist enjoyable to play with her high damage and flashy moves.
This class is designed for those looking for a challenge - it is one of the difficult classes, but due to its versatility, it can take on almost any role in the group - won't be an expert in any, though.
Robust Spirit build
Robust Spirit can deal very high damage without relying on crits. Her long skill cooldowns may prove problematic. She's heavily reliant on her Awakening skill boosted by her Specialization stat.
Engravings:
- Robust Spirit - class engraving immediately leveling up Hype to level 3, increasing damage and energy recovery.
- Precise Dagger - Higher crit rate, less crit damage. Your crit rate won't be high due to the required heavy Specialization investment,
Optional Engravings:
- Awakening - reduces the cooldown of the Awakening skill.
- Master of Ambush - increases Back Attack damage.
- Mass Increase - increases damage, lowers attack speed. Good understanding of the class and engraving level 3 recommended.
Battle stats
- Crit - about 25% - invest the points not invested in Specialization here. If you don't care about crits you can invest into Swiftness instead to reduce your skill cooldown.
- Specialization - about 75% - the class relies mostly on Hype, making Specialization its most important stat.

Playstyle:
The Soulfist can fight relatively well at all ranges. She should try to position herself behind the enemies due to her numerous Back Attack skills. Before attacking she should activate Hype (Identity Skill). Make sure you get the Robust Spirit engraving as soon as possible. This lets you immediately start combat with a high damage and attack speed buff (Hype Level 3). Search for opportunities to deal massive amounts of burst damage and then recover through your cooldowns. You must be careful when using her Awakening skill, as it's the most powerful tool at her disposal by far but is easy to miss with, especially when fighting bosses.
Energy Overflow build
Unlike Robust Spirit, Energy Overflow doesn't focus on burst damage. The build is geared towards constantly attacking enemies. This is dictated by its main engraving which grants you a damage bonus when your energy is low. It's a good build to start with and is easy to switch to Robust Spirit later on when needed.
Engravings:
- Energy Overflow - +15% damage if your Energy is below 30% during Hype.
- Adrenaline - +6% damage and +15% crit rate when using skills often, no drawbacks.
Optional Engravings:
- Spirit Absorption - increased attack and movement speed,
- Precise Dagger increases crit rate, lowers crit damage.
- Raid Captain - increases damage based on Swiftness.
Battle stats
- Crit - about 25% - invest the points not invested into Swiftness here.
- Swiftness - about 75% - it's the core of the entire build.

The numbers in parentheses are the skill level we suggest you to have at character level 50. means you should develop it further, - means you should prioritize developing it.
Playstyle:
Quick DPS, requires constant concentration during combat and frequent skill usage - you must use them in the correct order as well. During Raids you should use Energy Release to buff yourself and your allies. Try not to use Level 3 Hype as it results in a much longer cooldown and a lesser attack bonus due to no Specialization investment.
