Grimoire Build

Playstyle role

Grimoire is the mid-range magic projectile family — an MP-cost caster. Community players describe it as built around spell rotations and cooldown reduction, but the family's mechanics are not yet well documented.

Difficulty and specific interactions are unverified, so this guide is a framework: confirm spell behavior in-game.

Core combat loop

Cast spells at mid-range, manage MP, and time your rotation around cooldowns.

• Open with the spell best suited to the pack shape.
• Track cooldowns so your rotation stays active.
• Manage MP so a high-value spell is affordable when the window opens.
• Fill gaps with basics rather than standing idle.

Who this build suits

Players who enjoy spell-rotation optimization and cooldown stacking. If you like the idea of timing a powerful spell at the right moment, Grimoire is built around it.

Difficulty is unverified — expect to learn the rotation yourself and to treat early runs as exploration.

Strengths and weaknesses

Room combat

Open with an area spell to shape the pack, then fill with basics while cooldowns recover. Keep MP in reserve for the spell you want to land on a priority target.

Watch your rotation order so the right spell is off cooldown when you need it.

Boss combat

Save your highest-value spells for break windows where a well-timed cast compounds. Keep cooldowns aligned with the boss's openings.

If MP runs dry mid-burst, fall back to basics and rebuild — do not force a cast you cannot afford.

Build Summary

Grimoire uses mid-range spell and summon control.

What This Build Is Trying to Achieve

Set up one threat, reposition while it works, and refresh deliberately. Each room should end with the core loop still available; spending its exit or resource plan breaks the build.

Combat Loop

Use this as a decision loop, not an undocumented skill sequence.

• Choose safe setup space
• Deploy one skill candidate
• Move while pressure develops
• Check MP and position
• Refresh or reset, not both

Early Progression

Early goal: make the base weapon loop repeatable before narrowing the route.

• Establish one dependable cast before several summons.
• Treat summon roles as editorial until confirmed.
• Avoid parallel resource demands without recovery.
• Enrage - Source: extracted upgrades; why: inspect as a stability candidate; Confidence: name verified, recommendation editorial.
• Fallback plan: preserve the basic Grimoire loop and take general survival.

Mid-Game Transition

Narrow choices only after the online test succeeds.

• Online test: setup creates space while you move.
• Retain the skill supporting the room plan.
• Without a preferred summon, use one control spell conservatively.

Endgame Target

Primary target: controlled uptime, not a fixed summon set.

Success means setup remains available for the next room.

Exact summon values are unknown.

Core Skills

Skill names are verified in extracted data; roles and timing below are editorial.

• Raise Skeleton: verified extracted skill name. Role: primary route candidate. Prioritize only when it solves the active loop. Verification: effect and pairing require in-game confirmation.
• Summon Thorn Ball: verified extracted skill name. Role: conditional support. Prioritize only when it solves the active loop. Verification: effect and pairing require in-game confirmation.
• Tornado: verified extracted skill name. Role: conditional support. Prioritize only when it solves the active loop. Verification: effect and pairing require in-game confirmation.

Core Upgrades / Items

These are real extracted names, not a numeric ranking.

Failure Modes

Use a failed room to identify which part of the loop broke.

• Refreshing setup too early
• Parallel-summon resource starvation
• Losing mid-range spacing
• Assuming a summon solves an unknown mechanic
