Recommended Skill Sets

Energy Suppression Growth Build

Playstyle

Late-game disruption and attrition, restricts enemy actions through continuous energy theft, drags into late game using Salt Accumulation's growth and Etherealization's high damage reduction, then harvests after Blooming buff

Why this set works

An energy suppression + growth consumption system built around the trait 'Big Score', forming a closed loop through Salt Gathering for sustain, Soul Grasp for energy theft, Etherealization for defense, and Bloom for enhancement, growing stronger as the battle progresses.

Salt Gathering

Why pick this skill

Core scaling sustain skill. 2-hit combo, each hit restores 5% HP and 1 Energy, and permanently increases combo count. Stronger in late game. Paired with Trait 'Big Score' to form positive energy cycle.

Soul Snare

Why pick this skill

0 Energy cost Energy steal. Directly steals 3 Energy from enemy. Combined with trait forms 5 Energy net gain per turn, severely disrupting enemy skill cast rhythm.

Etherealize

Why pick this skill

80% damage reduction defensive skill. Gains additional +70% Magic Defense when countering attacks. Combined with high base Magic Defense, becomes a special wall while also triggering Blossom's counter defense effect.

Full Bloom

Why pick this skill

0 Energy Cost power boost: +60 power when responding to Defense, synergizes with 'Etherealize': first activate Etherealize Defense, next turn Full Bloom gains +60 power then output.

Iron Barrel Attrition Build

Playstyle

Pure Tank Sustain, infinite endurance through multiple healing and damage reduction skills, slowly grinding down opponents with Salt Accumulation and Drain, specifically targeting burst-insufficient compositions.

Why this set works

Extreme Survival Equipment Setup: Triple sustain (Salt Gather, Root Absorb, Drain) + Etherealization damage reduction, maximizing the tankiness of 125 HP and 134 magic defense. Suitable for grinding attrition battles.

Salt Gathering

Why pick this skill

Core scaling sustain skill. Provides stable HP and Energy recovery, ensuring field presence capability.

Root Absorption

Why pick this skill

0 Energy Cost, High Recovery: Instantly restores 15% HP and 4 Energy to replenish status. Used as emergency sustain when Salt Stack layers haven't accumulated.

Etherealize

Why pick this skill

80% damage reduction + Magic Defense +70% when responding to attacks. Nearly invincible against enemy magic attackers, buying time for Salt Accumulation stacking.

Absorb

Why pick this skill

Magic damage + 100% lifesteal, provides both damage and sustain. Offers a third healing method beyond Salt Gathering and Root Absorption. More stable than physical attack skills against high Magic Defense enemies.

Energy Suppression Burst Build

Playstyle

Open with Energy Drain to reduce enemy Energy → Ethereal Defense triggers Bloom → high-power Graveyard Punch secures kills, targeting enemy cores reliant on high-Energy skills

Why this set works

Burst damage build: use Soul Hook + trait to rapidly drain enemy energy, Bloom + Ethereal Form synergy for +60 power bonus, finish with Graveyard Brawl

Soul Snare

Why pick this skill

0 Energy cost Energy steal. Priority disruption of enemy Energy reserves, creating output window for ultimate skill.

Full Bloom

Why pick this skill

0 Energy Cost power boost: activate early to boost ultimate damage, +60 power when responding to Defense can greatly increase Graveyard Brawl damage.

Graveyard Brawl

Why pick this skill

180 energy cost high-power physical damage ultimate. Power increases as enemy energy decreases (synergizes with Soul Snatch and trait), can deal extremely high damage under ideal conditions.

Etherealize

Why pick this skill

80% damage reduction defensive skill. Used to trigger Blossom's counter defense effect (+60 power) while protecting self to safely unleash ultimate skill.

Notes
  • Phantom Thorn has the unique Energy control Trait 'Big Score', stealing 2 Energy from all enemies at the end of each turn, forming powerful disruption when combined with Energy steal skills
  • Base stats lean toward Magic Defense specialization (134 Magic Defense), but dual attacks are balanced (96 Physical Attack/96 Magic Attack). Can choose Physical Attack or Magic Attack route based on skills.
  • Speed 80 is on the lower side, suitable as back-foot disruption/consumption type creature
  • Key skill 'Salt Accumulation' has growth potential, becoming stronger with use. It is the core sustainability skill.
  • 'Graveyard Brawl' and 'Comet' are high-cost ultimates, but both have negative effects or self-damage, requiring cautious use
  • 'Bloom' provides power bonus, doubled benefits when responding to defense, suitable for pairing with defense skills
