CoreSacerdos' Relived Ordeal

Incredibly powerful set for characters with Ultimates and or Skills which target a single ally and who work well in teams with a sole damage dealer who can benefit from CRIT DMG.

2PCIncreases SPD by 6%.

4PCWhen using Skill or Ultimate on one ally target, increases the ability target's CRIT DMG by 18%, lasting for 2 turn(s). This effect can stack up to 2 time(s).

Sphere and rope · 2-piece only

CoreSprightly Vonwacq

Incredibly strong option for buff/debuff based characters. The advance from this set allows the wearer to apply their buffs/debuffs before the rest of the team acts, accelerate rotations, allows access to ultimates closer to the start of the fight and also grants Energy Regen. A valuable stat for many supports.

2PCIncreases the wearer's Energy Regeneration Rate by 5%. When the wearer's SPD reaches 120 or higher, the wearer's action is Advanced Forward by 40% immediately upon entering battle.
