Core Mechanics Hype Mode (Identity Skill) - The Soulfist enters Hype Levels (1-3), increasing damage and attack speed but with a cooldown afterward. - Robust Spirit focuses on maximizing burst during Hype 3, while Energy Overflow maintains consistent damage with shorter Hype cycles. Energy Management - Balancing energy (mana-like resource) is crucial, as skills consume it rapidly. Playstyle Burst (Robust Spirit) - Relies on timing Hype 3 for massive damage (e.g., World Decimation, Flash Step). - Strong in raids where bosses have predictable phases. Sustained (Energy Overflow) - More fluid rotations with less downtime. - Better for mobile fights where burst windows are unreliable.

Yes! The Soulfist remains a strong mid-to-high tier class in endgame raids (Brelshaza, Akkan, Thaemine) due to its burst potential and versatility. However, it has a steeper learning curve than simpler classes like Berserker or Sorceress. Would you like help with a specific build or rotation?
