Recommended Skill Sets

Reactive Growth Build

Playstyle

Lead or mid-field entry, prioritize Counter Stance for counter state, using damage reduction and counter hits to stack Energy Blade power; after Counter Stance ends, choose First Strike for speed or Last Stand for cleanup based on HP—grows stronger as battle continues.

Why this set works

Deathbed Counter

Why pick this skill

High-power finishing move, power further increases at low HP. Combined with Counter-attack's stacked ATK boost, it can deal explosive damage.

Enhanced Burst Build

Playstyle

Enter when not at 1 Magic Value, first turn Power Boost maxes physical attack, second turn Continuous Claw or Energy Blade output; Continuous Claw 4-hit combo under response status with high physical attack can instantly lower HP, First Strike for cleanup.

Why this set works

Consecutive Claw Strikes

First Strike

Why pick this skill

Priority skill for finishing off or interrupting. 55 Energy is acceptable in buff-focused builds; Priority +1 compensates for Speed shortcomings.

Magic Attack Counter Build

Playstyle

Start with Magic Boost to raise Magic Attack, activate Counter and wait for enemy attack to trigger response state; after Counter triggers, gain dual attack buff, next turn Ambush for 3x power burst; if Counter doesn't trigger or opponent switches, use Continuous Claw with response state for 4-hit combo suppression.

Why this set works

Utilize [Magic Boost] + [Counter Guard] dual attack buffs to maximize [Ambush]'s 3x power in counter state, combining magic burst with physical cleanup capability.

Consecutive Claw Strikes

Why pick this skill

Low-cost multi-hit skill with 4 hits during response state, used to supplement damage or break shields when counter-response doesn't trigger.

Notes
  • Bookworm is Normal type, trait [Library Guardian] grants +50% to both attacks when entering with 1 Mana, but 1 Mana means only 1 skill can be used, so trade-off between trait activation and skill continuity is needed.
  • Base stats show balanced Physical Attack 75 and Magic Attack 75, but the Physical Attack move pool is richer. Physical Attack build is recommended.
  • Speed 57 is somewhat low, difficult to move first, must rely on 【First Strike】 or 【Counter】 response mechanics
  • 【Energy Blade】is growth-type skill, successful Counter can permanently stack power, suitable for prolonged battles.
  • 【Devour】has extremely high 150 energy cost, cannot be used when trait triggers, and the 6 energy recovery on defeat has limited returns—not recommended for regular use.
