Holyblade Squire(圣剑侍从)
Mech Phase I Original Form
Artisans of the Golden Age once considered astrology and alchemy as two languages of the same discipline. Thus they forged holy swords with wind as the core, and power and law as the bone. Only a handful remain today.

Summary
Holy Sword Squire (NO.285) is a Steel-type Tier I creature. Its trait "Upright Sword" restricts it to using only Slot 1 skills, greatly limiting its moveset options. Stat-wise, it has balanced but unremarkable Attack (116) and Magic Attack (111), high dual defenses (139), and extremely low Speed (52). The core strategy is to utilize the special bonuses of Slot 1 skills, paired with support skills for self-buffing or disrupting opponents. Due to the trait restriction, you must choose the highest-value Slot 1 skill as core damage, with remaining slots dedicated to low-cost or zero-cost buff/heal skills to sustain survival and enhancement.
Build 1: Trait Field Presence (has issues)
Playstyle
Using Mechanical Combat in slot 1 as core damage, with passive support skills in other slots. However, most skills lack passive effects, making this build suboptimal.
Why this set works
This build attempts to utilize the trait, but a critical issue was discovered: the trait "Can only use slot 1 skills" means slots 2-4 skills cannot be clicked to activate at all, only functioning as passives. Therefore slots 2-4 can only select skills with passive effects.
Brawl
Why pick this skill
Core damage skill with +60 Power and Transmission 1 when in slot 1, the highest Physical damage output under Trait conditions. 116 Physical Attack stat combined with this bonus can deal considerable damage.
Magic Amplification
Why pick this skill
Zero-energy Magic Attack boost skill: placed in Slots 2–4, it cannot be actively used, but could it trigger before entering the field or under specific mechanics? In fact, the trait restricts usage to Slot 1 only, so this skill is completely unusable in Slots 2–4. However, this is the only Magic Attack boost available; if considering special cases... Reanalysis: the trait states "only Slot 1 skills can be used," meaning Slots 2–4 skills cannot be clicked at all. Therefore, if this skill is brought, it must be placed in Slot 1, but Slot 1 is already occupied by Brawl. This skill is effectively unusable, but as a filler slot there is no better alternative, or replacement could be considered.
Rest and Recover
Why pick this skill
Zero-energy recovery skill: placed outside Slot 1, it cannot be actively used, but... the same issue applies. In fact, all skills outside Slot 1 cannot be used. This analysis is flawed and needs reconsideration: the trait means only the Slot 1 skill is usable, so the selection criteria for Slots 2–4 become: ① zero-energy passive effects; or ② abandon them entirely. Bearing Support has a passive effect (adjacent skill energy cost -1), making it a decent filler choice.
Bearing Support
Why pick this skill
Zero-energy: passive effect reduces adjacent skill energy cost by 1. Even though it cannot be used outside Slot 1, it can reduce the energy cost of Brawl in Slot 1 (45→44, though the actual benefit is limited). The active effect's additional -1 energy cost from its own passive is meaningless for itself. It is one of the few filler skills with passive value.
Build 2: Single-skill extreme (actually viable)
Playstyle
Accepting trait limitations, slot 1 for Mecha Combat output, slots 2-4 prioritize zero-energy skills to reduce waste, Bearing Support provides minor energy cost reduction
Why this set works
Re-evaluation: Trait forces single-skill operation, slots 2-4 can only select passive skills. But among available skills, only "Bearing Support" has a clear passive effect (adjacent skills -1 energy cost). Does "Linkage Device" have a passive effect? Checking description: "After use, adjacent skills permanently gain +20 power" — this is an active effect, not passive. "Mesh Transmission": "When this skill is in slot 1 or 3, additionally gains +60% Physical Attack" — position-limited active effect. "Gear Torque": +20 power when position changes — active effect. In fact, most skills have no passive effects!
Brawl
Why pick this skill
Core damage. When in Position 1, +60 Power and Transmission 1, strongest Physical damage under trait. 45 Energy cost, becomes 44 under Bearing Support passive.
Bearing Support
Why pick this skill
Key passive skill: When in slots 2-4, the passive effect "Energy Cost -1 for adjacent skills" reduces the Energy Cost of slot 1's Brawl. Though unusable by itself, this is one of the few skills with passive value.
Rest and Recover
Why pick this skill
Zero-cost, but no passive effects, completely useless in non-slot 1. This choice is poor, but among available skills there are no other passive skills
Magic Amplification
Why pick this skill
Zero-cost Magic Attack boost, no passive effects, unusable in non-slot 1. Filler slot.
Build 3: M.ATK oriented (not recommended)
Playstyle
Utilize Magnetic Storm's magic damage and slot 1 bonus, but overall weaker than Mecha Brawl build.
Why this set works
Magic Attack-oriented build, but Magnetic Storm's Slot 1 bonus (Power +30) is inferior to Mech Fight (Power +60), and Physical Attack base stat is higher, making this build inferior.
Magnetic Storm
Why pick this skill
Position 1: +30 power and Transmission 1, magic damage output. Magic attack 111 slightly lower than physical attack 116, but Magnetic Storm energy cost 70 lower than Mechanical Combat 45? No, 70>45. Actually Mechanical Combat position 1 +60 power is better. But Magnetic Storm is magic damage, can target opponents with high physical defense.
Bearing Support
Why pick this skill
The only filler skill with passive effect, reducing Energy cost for adjacent skills.
Rest and Recover
Why pick this skill
Zero-cost filler.
Cheer On
Why pick this skill
Zero-cost filler.
Notes
- Trait "Upright Swords" forcibly locks slot 1 skill; slots 2-4 skills cannot be actively used, only exist as passive effects
- Speed 52 is extremely low, almost impossible to move first, must rely on "First Strike" First Move +1 or high durability to stay on field
- Mecha Brawl, Magnetic Storm, and Gear Slice have special bonuses in slot 1, making them optimal damage choices under the trait.
- Skills like Bearing Support and Linkage Device provide passive effects even when not in Slot 1, suitable for filler positions
