Field Guide

One choose-one pair per battle pathway, below Cross Mastery: the deepest nodes in the game, gated on both Cross Mastery tiers maxed, 100 Mastery Points each. The pair offered follows your ORIGINALLY committed pathway, not the one you crossed into.

Every 5th of your turns grants one extra action. Stacks with Manipulation and Momentum.

The Pinnacle pick that hands you an extra action on a fixed cadence, with no roll involved. It stacks with the other extra-action effects, so a build already holding Momentum or Manipulation compounds the cadence.

• PASSIVE: it applies on its own, with nothing to cast.
• Borrowed Time sits in the Pinnacle tier, at tier 13.
• Cost: 100 Mastery Points, learned whole.
• Requirements: none. It is a root, so it unlocks as soon as the tree is open to you.
• PICK ONE: learning it locks out Standing Prayer until you use RESET MP.

Revenge reflects 800% of Physical Attack instead of 350%.

The Pinnacle pick that multiplies what Revenge reflects. Simple, always on, and the stronger half of the pair outside the Arena.

• PASSIVE: it applies on its own, with nothing to cast.
• Merciless Revenge sits in the Pinnacle tier, at tier 13.
• Cost: 100 Mastery Points, learned whole.
• Requirements: none. It is a root, so it unlocks as soon as the tree is open to you.
• PICK ONE: learning it locks out Stored Wrath until you use RESET MP.

Every Execution (cast or Last Stand's free copy) can instantly kill the target: 2% vs a normal monster, 1% vs an Alpha, 0.5% vs a Boss, in Battle Stages and the Dungeon. 1% in the Arena. A pure kill: no lifesteal or Copycat, and the target's own Last Stand can still answer it. Endless Boss: 1% chance for that Execution to deal 10× damage instead.

The Pinnacle pick that gives every Execution a chance to simply end the target. The rate is deliberately lowest against the toughest tiers, so it speeds up farming far more than it decides a hard fight.

• PASSIVE: it applies on its own, with nothing to cast.
• Perfect Execution sits in the Pinnacle tier, at tier 13.
• Cost: 100 Mastery Points, learned whole.
• Requirements: none. It is a root, so it unlocks as soon as the tree is open to you.
• PICK ONE: learning it locks out Unbound Execution until you use RESET MP.

Final Stamina −33.3%. Evasion hard cap rises from 45% to 77.7%. You still need the rating to reach it.

The Pinnacle pick that trades a third of your Stamina for an Evasion ceiling nothing else comes close to. It is the most committed dodge build in the game, and it is fragile by design — the hits that do land, land on a smaller health pool.

• PASSIVE: it applies on its own, with nothing to cast.
• Phantom Form sits in the Pinnacle tier, at tier 13.
• Cost: 100 Mastery Points, learned whole.
• Requirements: none. It is a root, so it unlocks as soon as the tree is open to you.
• PICK ONE: learning it locks out Venomous Openings until you use RESET MP.

Start every battle with 1 Prayers Are Heard shield. In the Dungeon, each encounter starts you at 1 stack if you have none. Works like a normal stack with Divine Grace and Angelic Bulwark.

The Pinnacle pick that starts you with a shield already up. It matters most where the opening hit is the dangerous one, and in the Dungeon it tops you back up each encounter.

• PASSIVE: it applies on its own, with nothing to cast.
• Standing Prayer sits in the Pinnacle tier, at tier 13.
• Cost: 100 Mastery Points, learned whole.
• Requirements: none. It is a root, so it unlocks as soon as the tree is open to you.
• PICK ONE: learning it locks out Borrowed Time until you use RESET MP.

Revenge no longer grants charges. Casting it skips your next 5 turns (no actions, no regen, nothing ticks). When the channel ends, or the fight does, you deal 2000% of your missing HP across 5 hits that cannot be dodged or Faked Out and bypass every damage cap, and your HP is restored to full. In the Dungeon the total splits evenly across all living enemies.

The Pinnacle pick that turns Revenge into a channel: you give up several turns entirely and then erupt for a share of the health you are missing, healing to full. It rewards being nearly dead, which makes it a duellist's node.

• PASSIVE: it applies on its own, with nothing to cast.
• Stored Wrath sits in the Pinnacle tier, at tier 13.
• Cost: 100 Mastery Points, learned whole.
• Requirements: none. It is a root, so it unlocks as soon as the tree is open to you.
• PICK ONE: learning it locks out Merciless Revenge until you use RESET MP.

Damage caps no longer apply to Execution (cast or Last Stand's free copy) in Battle Stages, the Endless Boss and the Dungeon. No effect in the Arena.

The Pinnacle pick that lifts every damage cap off Execution. It is the answer to a fight where your biggest hit keeps being trimmed by a cap — most visibly a Sturdy showdown.

• PASSIVE: it applies on its own, with nothing to cast.
• Unbound Execution sits in the Pinnacle tier, at tier 13.
• Cost: 100 Mastery Points, learned whole.
• Requirements: none. It is a root, so it unlocks as soon as the tree is open to you.
• PICK ONE: learning it locks out Perfect Execution until you use RESET MP.

Every Skip! proc also applies Poison Blade's poison: 5% of the target's max HP per stack at the start of each of its next 3 turns. Each proc (Poison Blade casts included) refreshes the timer and adds a stack, up to 3 (15% a turn). No effect on the Endless Boss.

The Pinnacle pick that hangs poison off every Skip! proc, so a crit-heavy Elusive build applies and refreshes stacks without ever casting Poison Blade. It does nothing against the Endless Boss, which cannot be poisoned.

• PASSIVE: it applies on its own, with nothing to cast.
• Venomous Openings sits in the Pinnacle tier, at tier 13.
• Cost: 100 Mastery Points, learned whole.
• Requirements: none. It is a root, so it unlocks as soon as the tree is open to you.
• PICK ONE: learning it locks out Phantom Form until you use RESET MP.

A PICK ONE: take Unbound Execution or Perfect Execution and the others are locked out until you use RESET MP.

• Unbound Execution — The Pinnacle pick that lifts every damage cap off Execution. It is the answer to a fight where your biggest hit keeps being trimmed by a cap — most visibly a Sturdy showdown.
• Perfect Execution — The Pinnacle pick that gives every Execution a chance to simply end the target. The rate is deliberately lowest against the toughest tiers, so it speeds up farming far more than it decides a hard fight.

• Borrowed Time — The Pinnacle pick that hands you an extra action on a fixed cadence, with no roll involved. It stacks with the other extra-action effects, so a build already holding Momentum or Manipulation compounds the cadence.
