Dragon Nest Acrobat – Ultimate Skills & Class Advancement

4.    Ultimate Skills and Class Advancement
4.1.  Ultimate Skills : Divine Rage or Spiral Edge?
This question has been raised a lot of times. Asking this question is not much different than asking : Tempest or Windwalker? This is due to the fact that you will need Divine Rage to learn Tempest skills and Spiral Edge to learn Windwalker skills (Assuming, of course, that dual ultimate has not been implemented). And later in the next section, you will find out why Divine Rage is suitable for Tempest’s role and why Spiral Edge is suitable for Windwalker’s role.
If you are wondering which one is better, I would say that both of them are as good as each other. Therefore, instead of comparing the two of them, it will be better to think about your own preference and playstyle and choose the one that suits you most. Remember, I mentioned in the Introduction that Acrobat heavily depends on your own playstyle.
Now, let us look at the advantages and disadvantages of the two skills :
Divine Rage
Advantage :
  • Very large total damage output
  • Damage taken reduced during the execution time
Disadvantage :
  • Hit only single target (Or multiple targets that are close to each other)
  • Difficult to control and to land a complete hit
Spiral Edge
Advantage :
  • Very large area of effect
  • High SA break value in a single hit
  • Airborne during initial casting, very difficult to be interrupted
  • Lesser cooldown time
Disadvantage :
  • Damage output is small compared to other ultimate skills
While it seems that Spiral Edge has better utility, take note that Acrobat is a DPS class and therefore damage is definitely a high priority. This is the reason why I do not consider Spiral Edge as a better skill compared to Divine Rage, and vice versa.
Even though Spiral Edge has lesser cooldown, the total damage per second output from Divine Rage still outweights that from Spiral Edge. Refer to previous section to see that the K value of Divine Rage outweights the K value of Spiral Edge.
While we are at it, I will discuss about Tempest and Windwalker in the next section.
4.2.  Job Advancement : Tempest or Windwalker?
What is the difference between the two? Yes, the answer is again their battle styles!
I will make some points about Tempest and Windwalker so you will have a better idea what they do.

Now, can you see why Divine Rage is the one needed by Tempest and Spiral Edge is the one needed by Windwalker? Yes, because their usage is closely related to the role of their respective class advancement.
Just as how both Divine Rage and Spiral Edge are as good as each other, Tempest and Windwalker are also equal.
I would like to mention one interesting fact that a lot of people think that Tempest is more suitable for PvP and Windwalker is more suitable for PvE. In my opinion though, this is not completely true. You can actually have a Tempest that is more focused on PvE and a Windwalker that is more focused on PvP. The difference between them is not about PvE or PvP focus, but rather role and battle style.
So, think carefully about your own battle style, and decide whether you are more suitable for Tempest or Windwalker.
4.3.  Tempest Skills


Comment :
Note that Kick & Shot EX requires Kick & Shot at Level 11, in other words, it requires a lot of SP that you may not be able to maximize your primary and other secondary damaging skills.
You can, of course, choose tokskip Kick & Shot EX and maximize your primary and other secondary damaging skills. However, I would still recommend to take this awesome EX skill.
4.4.  Windwalker Skills


Comment :
Unlike Kick & Shot EX, Spiral Kick EX only requires Spiral Kick at Level 9, and also do note that Spiral Kick requires less SP to level up compared to Kick & Shot EX. In other words, you will have more SP to spend on your primary and other secondary damaging skills. However, a lot of people mention about how difficult it is to control Spiral Kick EX. So once again, you may also choose to skip this EX skill to level up your primary and other secondary damaging skills instead. But if you are going for PvE, you definitely want to take this EX as this is the best damaging passive skills for Acrobat, and obviously you will want to use this along with Show Time for a non-stop Spiral Kick EX.
