fmkorea 8563843775 warrior armour: Rock Giant + Mana Torrent + Enlightenment + Resonating Crystal + Brand of Ruin. Skill 2 Slash applies burn, so Torch works without a pet. The old value Talon (+24% break damage) comes from a post-Season-1 Korean source (postype, 2025-11) — nothing for Taiwan's S0
Counter full charge. In the Geombang (Sword and Shield) sub-build, there is an opinion that it is not recommended, saying that it "significantly harms survivability and awareness."
S0 consensus 'Onslaught + Slash + Assault' — dcinside enban 881962 lists skill 1 Onslaught, 2 Slash, 4 Assault; Bahamut 1520 and 2407 agree. Collapse+ (over 60% adoption) is the Season 2 core after Korea's 2025-10-30 buff, which Taiwan does not have
Community consensus: Onslaught + Collapse is fixed, only the 3rd one is different.
Alternatives: Distant Light / Cracked Lands / Mountain Lord (posttype). namu presents “fighting spirit+” separately — discrepancies between sources
Gem tags: what one line is actually worth
A tag is a skill category. Each tag line on a Star Prism or Triple Quartz is either a damage line or a cooldown line, and it pays out only on skills carrying that tag — so check which tags your own skills have before deciding which lines to chase.
The eight tags
Per line, by gem stage
| Gem stage | Tag lines | If damage (each) | If cooldown (each) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crude Star Prism | 1 | not published | not published |
| Crude Star Prism S | 2 | +1.7% | −0.55% |
| Star Prism (Elite) | 3 | +2.0% | −0.65% |
| Star Prism S | 3 | +2.1% | −0.70% |
| Whole Star Prism | 3 | +2.2% | −0.75% |
| Triple Quartz (Elite) | 2 | +2.1% | −0.70% |
Take damage in almost every case. The theoretical cooldown ceiling does not turn into more casts — this game's pre- and post-cast delays and the boss's own rhythm eat it. Cooldown lines are worth it only to tighten a supporter's buff cycle, or to stand in for a cooldown rune.
The numbers come from what the Korean community has documented over the past year — namu wiki's item entry, the Inven gem-tag guide, and a KR player-built gem simulator. Nexon publishes the rules but not the figures, so these are the values the Korean sources have agreed on for long enough to rely on.
There used to be two figures for the weapon Heliodor's damage bonus (namu +5%, a community simulator +3%). Nexon Taiwan's own package notice (3504945) prints “damage +5%”, matching namu, so it is settled. The green Heliodor's “1.5% damage to all skill tags” is likewise official text (3541044).
The English gem and tag names here are ours, rendered from the Korean. There is no English release of this game, so no official English names exist.
