summary
This guide explains an aggressive Guardian Arcana setup designed to maximize five core active skills—Furious Strike, Barrage, Judgment, Punishment, and Mystic Strike—while pushing Fury and Tendency as high as possible. It is an advanced endgame configuration that requires precise card and equipment values for optimal results, and players who want to accelerate their progression can consider how to efficiently manage resources when they buy Aion 2 Kinah.
1. Understand the Core Objective
The main purpose of this Arcana configuration is to bring the Guardian's five primary active skills to Level 20 while simultaneously maximizing the class's core passive, Fury.
Because Arcana slots provide different skill levels, the key is not simply maximizing every individual skill on each card. Instead, you must distribute skill levels between cards so that missing levels can be completed through the Chalice and Libra.
This makes the build extremely demanding but highly effective for players pursuing maximum endgame damage.
2. Configure the Parchment
Start with the Parchment card.
Recommended allocation:
· Furious Strike: Level 1
· Judgment: Level 3
· Punishment: Level 4
· Slash: Level 1
Normally, you might want to push Furious Strike to Level 4 here. However, this build intentionally takes only Level 1 because the remaining three levels will come from the Chalice and Libra.
The important principle is to complete Retribution to Level 4 on the Parchment while securing Judgment at Level 3. This frees other Arcana slots for more important passive bonuses.
3. Build the Compass
For the Compass, focus on the Morning Circle configuration:
· Slam: Level 4
· Mystic Strike: Level 3
· Non-targeted option: Level 1
Complete Slam to Level 4 immediately. Mystic Strike only needs three levels here because the final level will be supplied through Scales.
This combination allows Mystic Strike to reach its required total without consuming valuable slots elsewhere.
4. Prioritize the Bell
The Bell is the centerpiece of this setup.
Its most important requirement is Tendency Level 4. The recommended configuration prioritizes the required Insult-related effects while maintaining the necessary passive bonuses.
Use:
· Tendency: Level 4
· Insult: Level 3
· Remaining slots: required passive options
The three additional Insult levels can then be obtained through the Potion-related configuration. The objective is to create enough room for Fury while maintaining the required Tendency progression.
5. Configure the Mirror
For the Mirror, secure:
· Shock: Level 4
· Iron Wall Defense: Level 3
· Remaining options: Level 1 each
There is a temptation to invest even more heavily into Shock. However, doing so would require sacrificing valuable Rage or Insult's Potion slots.
For this extreme damage configuration, the priority should remain:
1. Rage
2. Insult's Potion
3. Shock Medium
Therefore, completing Shock at Level 4 through the Mirror provides the most efficient balance.
6. Use Chalice and Libra to Complete Missing Levels
The Chalice is particularly important because it fills several gaps created by the earlier cards.
Recommended allocation includes:
· Furious Strike: Level 2
· Judgment: Level 1
· Power: Level 4
· Insult: Level 2
· Fury: Level 4
Furious Strike now reaches Level 3 when combined with the Level 1 from Parchment. Judgment reaches Level 4 through its three levels on Parchment plus one from Chalice.
Most importantly, Fury gains four levels here. Combined with the four levels from Bell, this brings Fury to Level 8.
For Libra, take:
· Furious Strike: Level 1
· Rage: Level 1
· Power: Level 4
· Insult: Level 3
The final Furious Strike level completes the required progression. Combined with Parchment and Chalice, its Arcana contribution reaches the necessary total for Skill Level 20.
Mystic Strike follows the same principle: three levels from Compass plus one from Scales completes its required progression.
7. Final Tendency and Passive Targets
This configuration produces several important passive milestones:
· Tendency: 12 Arcana levels
· Insult's Embrace: 8 Arcana levels
· Shocking Middle: 4 Arcana levels
· Wall: 12 levels
· Show of Greed: 8 levels
With approximately 10 levels from base skills, 4 from the Devanion Necklace, 3 from Earrings, and 7 from armor, Tendency can reach approximately Level 36.
Insult's Embrace can reach Level 32, while Shocking Middle can reach Level 28 under the described conditions.
8. Is This Build Worth Using?
This is an extreme endgame configuration, not a beginner-friendly Arcana setup. The Chalice and Libra require very specific numerical values because they are responsible for completing missing active-skill levels. Therefore, do not treat these exact numbers as mandatory. Your available cards and equipment may provide different skill levels, making another distribution more efficient. If you are optimizing your resources for this demanding endgame setup, using cheap Aion 2 Kinah can also help you acquire the materials and upgrades needed to fine-tune your cards and equipment.
The best approach is to treat this setup as a target framework: prioritize Level 20 on the five core active skills, maximize Fury, then push Tendency and secondary passives with whatever remaining resources your account provides.
