Tumble, Dash, Aerial Evasion : Max.
Mana regen : Max. Why? I maxed it so that I won’t run out mana fast when soloing.
Impact wave lv 6: For fulfilling the 45 SP restriction
Relieve lvl 6:
I level it to level 6 so that I can get 15s status remover. Burn debuff from the level 80 monsters can be really painful when hit.
Dropkick and Sidekick lvl 1:
I learn this for PVP. Just move SP from here and add to imp. wave or circle break (Notice I have 3 SP left after making this build, finally at the end I level CB to lvl 1 for SA breaking purpose).
Sword Master Skill Tree
Moonlight Splitter lvl 19:
Okay, some of you might think “Why level MLS to 19? The dmg growth is not thathigh!” Well, that’s what I’m thinking too. But in 80 cap, we have another 20 SPto maximize our damage output. Even you maxed all of your ML side on SM tree,you’ll still have leftovers SP. I’m using a 20% dmg crest on MLS and I love tosee the output.
Cyclone Slash lvl 17:
If you don’t like CS so much, you can reduce CS to lvl 1, 6, or 11 and add theSP into another skills like Line Drive (which I don’t recommend). Because it’shard to get full hit for CS, it’s not wise to give a crest to this skill.
Crescent Cleave lvl 15(+1):
Use skill ring for this skill please, the damage is pretty good as far as Isee. It deals 17~20 hits on a human sized monster (can be more on big bosseslike ABN, Cerby, Manty, Apoc). I recommend you use 20% dmg crest on this skill.
Half Moon Slash lvl 13:
No need to explain, must max skill for all moonlord. With the ex it becomesfaster, so for PVE 50% Action speed crest is not needed anymore. You can use20% damage plate now, but for hybrid go use the 50% AS plate.
Great Wave lvl 2:
I see something different about this skill after 80 cap patch. The final wave(after you pressed left click) is slowed down, so that now it’s possible to getmany hits on big monsters. However, the final wave is capped at 8 hit. I don’tuse crest for this one because I don’t have more heraldry slots xD.
Triple slash lv 1:
Prerequisite
Front Shove lv 1:
Learnt for Iframe only.
Brave lv 9:
for 15s atk increase, you can adjust this to your own playstyle
Provoking Slam lv 8:
This skill peaked at 50% dmg debuff on enemies. Leveling it to level 9 only increases the damage, not the debuff effects/duration.
Dash slash, Dash combo lv 1:
For PVP only, can be unlearned in pure PVE build.
Aerial Combo lv 1:
Long airborne time for some mechanics and iframe at landing.
Eclipse lv 6:
I leveled this to 6 because I don’t have place to dump SP anymore xD
Parry stance lv 1:
This skill can be a life-safer, but use this skill wisely. Some boss mechanics ignores parry/block (like stomp in guardian nest), so don’t rely on this skill much.
Counter Exile lv 1:
Who doesn’t want an extra aerial evasion?
Moonlord Skill Tree
MBD lvl 12:
Deals monstrous damage, can hit maximum 15 hit (18 max with ex). 20% dmg Crestis highly recommended on this skill.
Flash Stance lvl 6 :
Even though it’s level 50 skill, I don’t use this skilloften. I can never optimized this skill well, so I don’t want to level this tolevel 11.
Thanks for reading my guide! sorry if this guide is bad, this is my first time making a guide lol. If I had make a mistake or you guys have a suggestion just tell me~
P.S: For now I can’t make an equipment and PVE guides, because my gear is trash (waiting for lv 80 volcano set and lv 80 HG jades), so for now I’ll just help with the skill build.
