This build focuses on the Strength Attribute and Entanglement Overdrive Main Skill to improve melee combat. With this build, your main way of attacking is with your sword combined with combos from Blade Arts.

Stat Priority

① Strength Increases Attack and Defense. Unlocks the Entanglement Overdrive Main Skill.
② Florescence Increases Skill Power and HP. Unlocks Track Shot Main Skill.
③ Vitality Increases HP. Unlocks Hair Main Skill.

Most of your Attribute Points should go into Strength to increase base damage and defense, and unlock the Entanglement Overdrive Main Skill. It will also unlock the sub-skills needed for the build.

Florescence will increase your skill's damage, which is necessary when casting Blade Arts. It also adds some points to your HP whenever you increase it. You can put points into this for those reasons, and unlock the Roll Skill that will help you get out of sticky situations.

Although Vitality is last in priority, you should still add points into it as bosses and mobs in the later parts of the story has the ability to kill you in a few hits. You may also unlock the Cloaking Grass skill to help with stealth and exploration.

Best Weapons

Best Swords

Weapon Details
Cirrus Sword IconCirrus Sword Element: Impact
Melee Attack: 27
Ability: Clear Skies
Effect: Increases Emma's damage ×1.02 and Koo's damage ×1.02 for 5 second(s).
Purity IconPurity Element: Slash
Melee Attack: 27
Ability: Vampiric Blade
Effect: Recover Emma’s HP equal to 3.5% of damage dealt for 5 second(s).

The best weapons for this build are the Cirrus Sword and Purity. Cirrus Sword's ability increases the damage of Emma and Koo in battle, allowing you to deplete the enemies' HP faster.

Purity is the best replacement for Cirrus. It gives Emma lifesteal, which allows her to recover HP by damaging enemies once the ability activates.

For bosses, you can always opt for an Elemental Sword that can exploit their weakness.

Best Ranged Weapons

# Crossbow Bow
1 Fire BoltFire Bolts Fire ArrowFlame Arrows
2 BoltsBolts ArrowArrows

The best ammo for ranged weapons currently are the Fire Bolts and Flame Arrows. Once the status buildup is full, it will burn the targets and deal a good amount of damage. It works great on bosses and elite enemies in the overworld.

If you ran out of Fire Bolts and Flame Arrows, you can rely on regular ammo as they deal significant amount of damage even without the extra effect. Plus, you can equip more of them compared to elemental arrows and bolts.

Best Weapons

Best Armor

Floral Wraps IconFloral Wraps Defense: 31

Dance Attire IconDance Attire Defense: 39
Spirit Stone Slots: 6
Enemy Awareness: Low
Flame ResistFlame Resist: 60
Lightning ResistLightning Resist: 60

The best armor for this build would be the Dance Attire. It gives elemental resistance to Flame and Lightning, and has 6 Spirit Stone Slots that allow for additional stats and effects. Aside from those, it gives low enemy awareness, making way to stealthly play during explorations.

Floral Wraps can cover the base while Dance Attire is not currently in your possession. It has a slightly lower defense and different elemental resistance, but it has the same Spirit Stone Slots and low enemy awareness.

Replace for Endgame Armor

God Tree Guard IconGod Tree Guard Defense: 59

Poison ResistPoison Resist: 80
Acid ResistAcid Resist: 80

You can replace both of them once you get the Ornate Robe in Chapter 8 or the God Tree Guard in Chapter 12. These armor have superior stats compared to Floral Wraps and Dance Attire.

Best Spirit Stones

Spirit Stone Stats and Effects
Purple Spirit StoneEntanglement Parry ・Critical Rate
Parrying has a chance to restore Emma's Entanglement Gauge by 0.2 and Koo's FP by 1.
Purple Spirit StoneEntanglement Dodge ・Critical Rate
Perfect Dodges have a chance to restore Emma's Entanglement Gauge by 0.2 and Koo's FP by 1.
Green Spirit StoneEntanglement Increase ・Critical Rate
・HP

Orange Spirit StoneFlorescent Recovery ・Skill Power
・Critical Rate
Bloom Arts restore Emma and Koo's HP every 5 seconds.
Blue Spirit StoneIron Wall ・Defense
・Critical Rate
Reduces damage Emma take, but decreases health recovery by half.

These Spirit Stones' stats increase the Critical Rate of Emma, giving her a chance to multiply her damage with each hit. It also replenishes her Entanglement Gauge fast, which means she can cast more Blade Arts and combine them with other moves.

Florescent Recovery and Iron Wall Spirit Stones will allow her to recover HP and take hits without dying. It should help a lot if Emma has a very low Vitality at the moment.

This build focuses on balance between supporting Emma while not overlooking Koo's power in battle. Most of the skills here will focus on backing up and boosting Emma's damage in battle, while the Charms and the Attribute Points allocation will lean towards Koo's damage and a bit of defense.

Koo Guide: Best Koo Build

Stat Priority

① Strength Increases Attack and Defense. Unlocks the Pounce Main Skill.
② Vitality Increases HP. Unlocks Guard Main Skill.
③ Florescence Increases Skill Power and HP. Unlocks Incantation Main Skill.

Strength makes way to the Pounce Main Skill and sub-skills, and gives a bonus to Attack and Defense stats. Pounce is a very strong skill that gives Koo a chance to kill a target instantly. The skills under it are mostly support-focused, like the 2 healing skills to increase Emma's survivability.

You will only add Attribute Points into Vitality to unlock the Mod: Healing Energy, which gets activated if you use the Bloom Arts where it's attached. It removes all debuffs and status effects on Emma once activated. It's best to get this early in the game and focus on the Strength and Florescence next.

Florescence opens up the way to other mods that can help Emma, while also buffing his skill's damage. The best skill under this will be far and will consume a lot of Skill Points and Attribute Points, so only focus here once you get the Mod: Healing Energy from Guard and the Healing skills under Pounce.

Best Skills

Main Skill Tree
PouncePounce
Taunt Koo howls, temporarily drawing attacks from nearby foes.
Healing Bouquet Bring forth flowers to restore HP. Continuously reecover HP in the area.
Healing Garden Bring forth a big flower field to restore HP. Continuously reecover HP in the area.
Photosynthesis Koo's FP increases by 2.
Other Recommended Skills
Binding Fang
(Skill Amber)
Damages enemies and causes a buildup of Bind.
Destructive Fang
(Skill Amber)
Damages and weakens enemy. Temporarily lowers the defense of weakened enemies.
Mod: Battleborn
(Guard)
Force activates a sword's special effects.
Mod: Healing Energy
(Guard)
Removes Emma's status effects + buildup.
Mod: Swamp Summoner
(Incantation)
Creates a swamp that slows foes at target location.
Mod: Last Stand
(Incantation)
As Emma's HP declines, her damage increases.

Most of these skills support Emma during battle, so she can keep plowing through enemies. Don't worry about Koo's not dealing damage from this skills, as you will be able to get enough through adding points into Strength, Charms, and Charm Effects.

Koo can futher support Emma while damaging enemies by getting the Binding Fang and Destructive Fang skills from Skill Ambers. Binding Fang can immobilize foes once the buildup meter is full. Destructive Fang, on the other hand, lowers the attack of enemies hit. These skills work against bosses as well.

Best Charms and Charm Effects

Best Charms

Charm Base Effect
Attack CharmATK Charm Boost Attack

Critical CharmCritical Charm Boost Critical Rate

You should prioritize Charms that will boost Koo's damage. Koo will almost never go down in battle, so HP and Defense boosts are not exactly needed for his build.

Critical Boosts Critical Rate.
Burn Normal attack inflict burn. Increases burn buildup.

You should look for these effects when wearing the recommended Charms for Koo. Experience and Lucky are helpful when grinding levels and Ambers, while all the other effects here boosts his damage.

Best Items

Item Effect
Recovery Tonic Gradually recovers HP.
Golem Censer Temporarily grants a boost to defense.
Life Censer Temporarily grants a boost to HP. This is added on top of your max HP.
Archery Censer Temporarily grants a boost to ranged attack power.

The best items to equip on Koo are Recovery Tonic, Golem Censer, Life Censer, and Archery Censer. Choose only one or two items here to make space for his skills, which are a lot better than items.
