The Marksman and Ninja Swordsmen in agility-based classes are renowned for their high output. Before delving into the detailed cultivation of these two classes, everyone can also learn about the related knowledge of equipment stats first, as this will be discussed in today's Star Trace Resonance agility class cultivation guide. Currently, there are 11 equipment slots in the game, and apart from basic class attributes, there are additional stats.

The current fixed stats in the game are Strength, Agility, and Intelligence. Additionally, there are eight selectable stats: Stamina, Critical Strike, Haste, Luck, Versatility, Precision, and Block. When players obtain new equipment, each piece will come with three fixed stats, including but not limited to class-specific attributes plus Stamina, and there will be two randomly dropped stats chosen from the aforementioned nine options. There is also an additional stat that can be changed through the reforging system. Using other equipment of the same type for reforging operations can refresh the variable stats on this equipment until satisfactory results are achieved.
Firstly, the Marksman can follow two schools: Beastmaster and Eagle school. For the Beastmaster Marksman, this is a combat style that relies on summoning pets, especially large dogs. By activating the first-tier talent skill, players can summon their loyal companions to participate in combat. Since these pets inherit some of the owner's attribute values, if you plan to focus on increasing the damage caused by pets, the ideal stat allocation should be 60% for critical strike-related stats, 45% for increasing luck chance, and the remaining 45% for enhancing mastery level. This ensures stable high-damage output while also providing some burst potential.

The core of the Eagle school lies in using high-frequency critical strikes to activate small eagles for extra attacks. Whenever the character successfully causes a critical hit, not only does it enjoy the damage bonus from the regular critical hit, but it also triggers a special mechanism to summon a small eagle to attack the target swiftly. To maximize the potential of the Eagle school, the recommended equipment stat configuration for this school is 15% for mastery points, 80% for critical strike, and 25% for haste. As the soul of the Eagle school, a high critical strike rate means more frequent activation of the small eagle's attacks. Haste not only reduces skill cooldown times, allowing the character to attack faster, but also speeds up normal attack rates.
The core of the Ninja Swordsman class lies in utilizing the high damage increase provided by Thunder Seal and its extremely short cooldown time to achieve continuous high-damage output. It can be divided into Iaijutsu and Moonblade schools. The Iaijutsu school is better suited for a combination of 45% mastery, 80% critical strike, and 25% haste. The final luck does not benefit from critical strike damage bonuses, so it is usually not prioritized in builds aiming for maximum damage. Such a combination considers that for the Iaijutsu Ninja Swordsman, critical strikes not only directly increase damage but also indirectly trigger certain special effects.

To fully utilize the characteristics of the Moonblade Ninja Swordsman, which involves consuming Thunder Seal to summon Moonblades for sustained output, the build should focus on 60% luck. Luck not only increases the probability of triggering lucky hits but also adds extra effects to Moonblades when triggered, such as increased penetration and extended duration. Haste should be 15%, and mastery should be 15%, while critical strike is not mandatory. Especially after choosing a development path focused on high-frequency, high-intensity attacks, critical strikes may or may not be necessary depending on individual needs.

The Star Trace Resonance agility class cultivation guide ends here. If you want to reasonably allocate effects among similar classes in the game, note that the two similar classes introduced in this issue have different builds and cultivation directions based on their respective schools.
