thehueguy 5 Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) The objective of this guide is to clear some confusion regarding some star gladiator skills and to provide a base for those who wish to thread the path of the solar burst emperor, so let's get to it: Pros: - Natural High damage - Easy acess to all elements with Mild Wind - Fairly easy to gear and do instances with - Gets stronger in a party thanks to Kihop, the more people in a party the better. - Great mobility (in a straight line) with Sprint - Can jump over walls and get to lower/higher grounds with Leap -Miracle: a buff that allows usage of all solar/lunar/stellar skills in any map and day while it's active (looks like a soul link buff and lasts 60 minutes,keep attacking something until it appears.) Cons: - Reflect - Dispell - Carpal Tunnel Stats Distribution: STR: 120 - we are a melee class and will be using Temporal str boots so 120 is mandatory. AGI: if you cannot reach 193 ASPD with gear and foods alone, put as many points as needed to reach it, otherwise, leave it at 1. VIT: 100 in total, 50 base and more 50 from gear/foods/universe stance - as stated, we are a melee class and we can't kill enemies if we die first, so get a 100 vit in total for a decent amount of HP and some stats resistances such as stun, INT: same as vit (you don't want to get silenced in the middle of a fight with a mvp.) Dex: 110 - you can't hit enemies without a good amount of dex, secondly, this is one of the main stats that makes solar burst hit absurd numbers with the star gladiator wrath skills. LUK: 110 - more ATK and the second stat that goes into the wrath skills. leftover points can be spent on str/luk/vit, up to the user's preference. Skills Trees Taekwon Kid Spoiler Flying Kick: our gap closer towards enemies, also the only kick you should worry about while leveling as a taekwon kid as it has no need for a stance and waiting for it to proc to be used. Tumbling: a 20% chance to dogde ranged physical and magical attacks including AoEs (those pesky earthquakes on pit). Sprint : our mobility skill that runs in a straight line, can be quickly de-activated to change direction and re-activated again. Leap: Useful to get over walls and to lower/ higher grounds without having to walk around the map. Happy break: pre-req for mild wind Peaceful break: pre-req for mild wind, however, you want to get this to lvl 9 so you can get free 18 atk from the top stone of SG's stone set. Kihop: a buff to the character that boosts atk by 10% for each member in the party (yourself not included.) Mild/Warm wind: Temporarely endows your attacks with an elemental property, each level is a different element so you should keep a skill tab with each level for easy element swapping. Star Gladiator Spoiler SLS Perception: Designates a map with the solar/lunar/stellar alignment, becomes useless once miracle is activated, you still want to max this as it is a pre-req for Document of Sun/moon/stars on the star emperor tree. SLS Opposition: Marks an enemy with one of the three cosmic alignments, Solar for small enemies, lunar for medium and stellar for large, you can only have one target per alignment, you also need to be on the map with the correct alignment but once again this part gets throw out of the window with miracle activated, max it. Solar/Lunar/Stellar Heat: a 3x3 effect around your character that damages and knockbacks enemies who get close to you for 2 cells, Boss monsters don't get knocked back but still get damaged. your level, dex and luk dictates how much damage these skills will do, yet again you need to be in the map with the correct alignment but of course, miracle throws this outta the window. Solar/Lunar/Stellar Protections: let me start this one by saying this is NOT A PASSIVE, i have seen quite a few star emperors getting these and wondering why they din't get buffed, you must activate those if you wish to get their bonuses, solar will increase your DEF and vit, lunar will increase flee rate and stellar will increase your ASPD, their bonuses gets stronger proportionally to your base level, dex and luk, again, map allignment is irrelevant with miracle. SLS Shadow: at job lvl 50, increases our apsd by 30% with the drawback of completely butchering our sight, this however gets solved with Purification of the Sun, moon and start on the star emperor tree. SLS Courier: This skill is bugged and not working at the moment. you still want to get it so you can get the next skill on the list. SLS Union: the famous skill that makes star emperors be able to fly around, it increases your move speed and any enemies you hit cannot be missed and will completely ignore their defense, the drawback is that with every attack you use 2% of your hp and it will KILL you if you reach below 20% of your max HP, so better bring some potions or have a priest ready to heal you constantly if you wish to use this, you also need the taekwon master link from a soul linker to activate this. Extra note: to put points on this skill you have to minimize the skill tree (press the - buttom near the X on the screen of the skill tree), why is it like this, no idea. Star Emperor Spoiler Document of the Sun, Moon and Stars : allows us to reset the designated maps and marked enemies anytime we need. Purification of the Sun,Moon and Stars : a mandatory passive that will remove the sight penalty from SLS shadow. (Extra note: this skill is a bit wonky and sometimes won't remove the sight penalty for some reason, try relogging if that doesn't happen, if it still persists, reset your skills and do it until it removes the sight penalty.) Sun Stance : allows the use of sun skills, gives 5%atk and will be the first stance you will use while leveling, later we will switch to universe. Moon Stance : allows the use of moon skills and gives 5% max HP, you only want this since it's a pre-req for universe stance. Star Stance : allows the use of stellar skills and gives 10% aspd, same deal as moon stance. Universe Stance : Allows the use of sun/moon/star skills and universe skills, this is will be our main stance since it gives 5 All stats, which is 5 free dex and luk going into the wrath skills which will increase our damage more than the 5%atk from the sun stance will ever do. Prominence Kick : a 500% dmg kick that enables the use of solar burst, does damage in 3x3 around you, with the SE racing cap at +11 , prominence kick will increase solar burst damage by 30% for 10 seconds after using this kick. Solar Burst : Our main skill with a whooping 3200% dmg and 7x7 area of effect, this skill will be our main tool for almost everything. Light of the Sun : a buff which increases solar burst damage by another 25% and lasts 50 seconds, make sure you always have this on. Extra note: i won't cover the Star tree for now as we currently do not have temporal circlets yet, once it arrives i will add it.
