Overview

The Sky Emperor (SE for short) is a Melee DPS class that aligns to the Sun, Moon, and/or Stars, each dealing damage in unique ways. In addition to changing their attack element via Mild Wind, they have some rather unusual skills, like making use of the real world's date, marking maps, putting certain monsters on a wanted list, floating in mid-air, performing “miracles”, going blind, gaining weight (limit), ganging up with other SEs and SAs (Soul Ascetic) and shaking their heads to recover HP and SP, doing sick moves with Inquisitors, and more!

Note that I AM NOT A SKY EMPEROR MAIN, and it's a sad to see no Sky Emperor guides around here. So I made one.

Builds

Currently, there are two viable builds - CRITical Sun Build, and VCT (Variable Cast Time) Moon Build.

CRIT Sun

The CRIT Sun build quickly disposes of enemies by harnessing the power of the Sun (CRITs) to further augment one's power. Sun skills have no FCT and VCT, but they have a short ACD, are targeted skills, and require CRIT for full power. Set the Sun skills to smartcast turbo to make things a little easier. Turbo setup guide here. Try getting at least 30% ACD and 173 ASPD. But for maximum spamming, aim for 40% or more ACD reduction and 180+ ASPD.

Stats and Traits

Stat	Amount	Notes
STR	100+	Main stat. Increases damage.
AGI	80+	Mainly for ASPD, needed for spamming Sunset Blast as quickly as possible. Aim for 180+ ASPD. 100 Total AGI also provides Sleep and Bleeding Immunity.
VIT	80+	100 Total VIT is required for Poison and Stun Immunity.
INT	80+	100 Total INT is required for Silence and Blind Immunity.
DEX	1+	Increase this for HIT Rate at earlier levels. If you have enough CRIT, then this is leftover.
LUK	100+	Increases CRIT Rate by 1 for every 3 point. 100 Total LUK is needed for Curse Immunity.

Trait	Amount	Notes
POW	110	Main trait. Max it out.
STA	0+	Optional Trait. Invest some points here if more RES is needed.
WIS	0+	Optional Trait. Invest some points here if more MRES is needed.
SPL	0	Unnecessary. Sky Emperors don't read books. They use them to kick their enemies to death, not for academic study or reading various spells to conjure anything…
CON	72-110	Further increases damage while marginally increasing survivability via increased FLEE.
CRT	72-110	Second most important trait, mainly for raising C.RATE for increased CRIT damage.

Skills

Skills: Taekwon Kid

Skill	Level	Notes
Taekwon Kid
Tornado Kick	7	Enable Tornado Stance before using. Deals damage in a 5x5 AoE. While autoattacking, there's a small chance to get into Tornado Stance. While in Tornado Stance, activate it quickly, or else you'll go back to autoattacking.
Tornado Stance	1	Enables use of Tornado Kick. Requires level 1 Tornado Kick. Can also be used for "dancing" when used alongside Tumbling, Heel Drop Stance, Roundhouse Stance, and Counter Kick Stance.
Kihop	5	Increases Attack Power. Prerequisite for Mild Wind
Flying Kick	7	Gap closer. Has no cooldown and a range of 10 cells. Can be spammed at 193 ASPD for fun. Deals significantly increased damage when used while Sprinting.
Sprint	10	Provides a number of nice early-game effects. Gotta go fast but in One Direction! Hitting a wall or any entity causes you to get knocked back. Use Flying Kick while sprinting for significantly increased damage. This bonus works with or without a weapon equipped. When weaponless, get +10 Barehanded Mastery Attack. Use and immediately cancel for +10 STR (Spurt Status), but lose the bonus when equipping a weapon.
Peaceful Break	5-10	Prerequisite for Mild Wind
Happy Break	5	Prerequisite for Mild Wind
Mild Wind	7	Changes your attacking element for 5 minutes. Levels 1-7 gives Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Ghost, Shadow and Holy Element respectively.
Leap	5	Jump around in most places, up to 10 cells at Level 5. Can go through walls and ledges and can be used to traverse straight corridors super fast.
Tumbling	1	Adds a chance to block Ranged Attacks. When in Spurt Status (see Sprint above), it can block other kinds of attacks too.

Skills: Star Gladiator

A few excess skill points to the other 3 levels of Warm Wind and Tumble. The warmth/heat skills at the left side of the Star Gladiator Tree aren't used for now, but they'll come in really handy at the late-game, when there are way more boss-type monsters.

Skill	Level	Notes
Star Gladiator
Feeling of Sun Moon Star	3	Align a map with the Sun, Moon, or Stars. Enables a variety of skills.
Warmth of The Sun Warmth of The Moon Warmth of The Star	3	Get warmth/heat from sun, moon, or stars on sun, moon, or star-aligned maps to damage enemies and push them back. Boss-types can't be pushed around. Each hit drains 2 SP. It can be used only on aligned maps. Warmth of the Sun can be used only on sun maps, and so on. It's better to get these skills at the later parts of the game when you're a Sky Emperor. At the early game, they're useful for pushing back non-boss enemies, not for damage, mainly to escape an overcrowded horde. However, at the later parts of the game when there are a lot more boss-type monsters, it can be VERY USEFUL in triggering HP and SP leech and other effects like Warrant of Arbiter (313426) . The rapid-fire hits can also increase the odds of triggering the hidden "Miracle" super-buff (see below).
Anger of The Sun Anger of The Moon Anger of The Star	3	Marks monsters with Solar Wrath, Lunar Wrath, and Stellar Wrath. Monsters on the hitlist will receive up to 75% more damage. Solar Wrath works only on Small monsters. Lunar Wrath works only on Medium monsters with 6,000+ HP. Stellar Wrath works only on Large monsters with 20,000+ HP.
Blessing of The Sun Blessing of The Moon Blessing of The Star	4	Increases EXP gained from monsters targeted by the Wrath skills above. Check the time, or type @time to see what day it is on your server. Solar monsters give bonus EXP on even-numbered days. Lunar monsters give bonus EXP on odd-numbered days. Stellar monsters give bonus EXP on days divisible by 5 (e.g. 10, 15, 20). They can be active at the same time. E.g. in October 5, Blessing of The Moon and Blessing of The Star are active at the same time.
Comfort of The Sun Comfort of The Moon Comfort of The Star	4	*Solar Maps and even-numbered days - Reduces damage by a fixed amount. Lunar Maps and only on odd-numbered days - Increases FLEE. Stellar Maps and only on days divisible by 5 - Increases ASPD.
Friend of Sun Moon Star	Optional	Increases the Monk's chances of triggering Triple Attack when using Counter Kick Stance, and get an increased chance of triggering Counter Kick Stance when a Monk triggers Triple Attack. Very, very niche and gimmicky Passive.
Fusion of Sun Moon Star	Soul Link	Requires Level 9 Knowledge of Sun Moon Star and Star Gladiator Spirit buff from a Soul Linker to activate. A very powerful, very flashy, but very high-risk skill that lasts for 10 minutes. Gain increased movement speed. All your attacks will never miss and will completely ignore DEF. All at the cost of sacrificing 2% of your Max HP for each hit. Be sure you have a good amount of HP leech to compensate for this, because once you're at 20% HP and you damage something, you die! Even the skill's ID is ominous - 444. This skill is also a very good party trick. When it is active and you sit down, you'll slowly float upwards. Stand up and you'll gently descend. If you die with this skill active, your corpse will "jump" up and down. Spoopy. You can also cycle between Tumbling, Tornado Stance, Heel Drop Stance, Roundhouse Stance, and Counter Kick Stance to make your character "dance". The poses already look flashy, but doing it in mid-air makes it even better! Find other classes that can pose for even more fun!
Miracle of the Sun, Moon, and Stars	RNG	When dealing damage, there is a 1% chance to activate this super-buff, indicated by a blue icon and the screen having a slight blue tinge. Activates all Anger and Blessing skills, and enables the use of all Comfort and Warmth skills for an hour, even with unmarked maps and monsters. It doesn't go away on death and when logging out (timer stops). HOWEVER, YOU WILL LOSE THE BUFF WHEN CHANGING MAPS. Basically, when this happens, you deal 75% more damage to ALL mobs while receiving 100% more EXP within the map for an hour.

War Book Mastery	10	Increases PATK and Hit. Max it out.
Sky Mastery	10	Further increases the damage of all skills, except the "Sky" skills.
Rising Sun	5	Enables the use of Sun Skills for a certain duration. Can be used up to three times and affects what skills can be used and their effects. One use (Sunrise) - Enables use of Noon Blast only. Two uses (Noon) - Enables the use of Sunset Blast. Noon Blast gains the ability to CRIT, and gains even more CRIT DMG based on half of the C.RATE (?).

Despite its shorter CD, it's initially weaker compared to Noon Blast. However, when Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Sky Emperor) [1] (400543) and Dimensions Emperor Sun Book [2] (540083) are equipped and both are A-Grade, it becomes SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER because it will autocast Noon Blast.
Enchanting Sky	7-10	Enables the use of all skills at their maximum potential.
Twinkling Galaxy	1	Calls forth random meteors from the sky.
Star Burst	3-5	Requires Twinkling Galaxy to activate. Redirects said random meteors to a single target, hitting it and all enemies in a 5x5 area.

Star Cannon	3	Prerequisite for Star Light Kick. Makes said random meteors a bit more powerful.

Currently can be purchased from player vendors at cheap prices.
Dim Glacier Book [1] (540056)	Book	Issgard Equipment	2nd best-in-slot weapon despite having just 1 slot. It can have three very powerful enchants of your choosing, which means no RNG nonsense.

Dim Glacier Manteau [1] (480283)	Garment	20 The Immortal	Sufficient for the late-game but lacking in the end-game.

Nebula Suit of Creative [1] (450172)	Armor	Constellation Tower	The best-in-slot armor, especially if all the stars align. The final (2nd slot) enchant is Star Cluster of Power Lv.3 (310676) .

When Grade A, it enables autocasting Noon Blast while using Sunset Blast when paired with a Grade A Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Sky Emperor) [1] (400543) , significantly increasing damage.
Mad Bunny-LT [1] (460020)	Shield	Alice Twisted Madness	The more offensive-oriented shield. Upgrade it to at least Grade D for the damage reduction, but it is highly recommended to max it out at Grade A and refine it to +12 for the big CRIT bonus.
Glacier Guard [1] (460040)	Shield	Episode 20	The more defensive-oriented shield. Upgrade it to Grade C and refine it to +11 to take advantage of Elite Rgan Guardian Card (300465) 's bonuses.

Galensis Card (300261)	Garment	Provides CRIT every 10 Base LUK and an extra 30% CRIT DMG if Base LUK is 125. If CRIT is a problem, you can use this in the meantime.

Tips and Tricks

Leveling (WIP)
WORK IN PROGRESS,

Strategy (WIP)
To be added soon.

VCT Moon

The moon build is about making quick and easy work on eliminating foes through the sheer power of spinning kicks. ALT+P, hold 3, spin2win something free (I cringe at this REEEEEEEE). While the skills have no ACD and are self-cast, it has FCT and VCT. Both have to be reduced to a minimum (preferably zero) in order to spam kicks effectively.

Stats and Traits

Stat	Amount	Notes
STR	120+	Main stat. Increases damage.
AGI	80+	Mainly for ASPD, needed for spamming Dawn Break as quickly as possible. Aim for 175+ ASPD. 100 Total AGI also provides Sleep and Bleeding Immunity.
VIT	80+	100 Total VIT is required for Poison and Stun Immunity.
INT	80+	100 Total INT is required for Silence and Blind Immunity.
DEX	1+	Increase this for HIT Rate at earlier levels. If you have close to or 100% VCT reduction, then put leftover points here, unless you needed more HIT.
LUK	80+	100 Total LUK is needed for Curse Immunity.

Trait	Amount	Notes
POW	110	Main Trait. Max it out.
STA	0-72	Adjust STA or WIS depending on which form of damage needs more reduction.
WIS	0-72	Adjust STA or WIS depending on which form of damage needs more reduction.
SPL	0	Reading books in the dark is said to be bad for the eyes, but they can be used to roundhouse kick enemies to death. SPeLls not required. Spin2win in darkness.
CON	110	Further increases damage while marginally increasing survivability via increased FLEE.
CRT	0	Not needed for this build, because the Moon doesn't CRIT.

Skills

Skills: Taekwon Kid

Skill	Level	Notes
Taekwon Kid
Tornado Kick	7	Enable Tornado Stance before using. Deals damage in a 5x5 AoE. While autoattacking, there's a small chance to get into Tornado Stance. While in Tornado Stance, activate it quickly, or else you'll go back to autoattacking.
Tornado Stance	1	Enables use of Tornado Kick. Requires level 1 Tornado Kick. Can also be used for "dancing" when used alongside Tumbling, Heel Drop Stance, Roundhouse Stance, and Counter Kick Stance.
Kihop	5	Increases Attack Power. Prerequisite for Mild Wind
Flying Kick	7	Gap closer. Has no cooldown and a range of 10 cells. Can be spammed at 193 ASPD for fun. Deals significantly increased damage when used while Sprinting.
Sprint	10	Provides a number of nice early-game effects. Gotta go fast but in One Direction! Hitting a wall or any entity causes you to get knocked back. Use Flying Kick while sprinting for significantly increased damage. This bonus works with or without a weapon equipped. When weaponless, get +10 Barehanded Mastery Attack. Use and immediately cancel for +10 STR (Spurt Status), but lose the bonus when equipping a weapon.
Peaceful Break	5-10	Prerequisite for Mild Wind
Happy Break	5	Prerequisite for Mild Wind
Mild Wind	7	Changes your attacking element for 5 minutes. Levels 1-7 gives Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Ghost, Shadow and Holy Element respectively.
Leap	5	Jump around in most places, up to 10 cells at Level 5. Can go through walls and ledges and can be used to traverse straight corridors super fast.
Tumbling	1	Adds a chance to block Ranged Attacks. When in Spurt Status (see Sprint above), it can block other kinds of attacks too.

Skills: Star Gladiator

A few excess skill points to the other 3 levels of Warm Wind and Tumble. The warmth/heat skills at the left side of the Star Gladiator Tree aren't used for now, but they'll come in really handy at the late-game, when there are way more boss-type monsters.

Skill	Level	Notes
Star Gladiator
Feeling of Sun Moon Star	3	Align a map with the Sun, Moon, or Stars. Enables a variety of skills.
Warmth of The Sun Warmth of The Moon Warmth of The Star	3	Get warmth/heat from sun, moon, or stars on sun, moon, or star-aligned maps to damage enemies and push them back. Boss-types can't be pushed around. Each hit drains 2 SP. It can be used only on aligned maps. Warmth of the Sun can be used only on sun maps, and so on. It's better to get these skills at the later parts of the game when you're a Sky Emperor. At the early game, they're useful for pushing back non-boss enemies, not for damage, mainly to escape an overcrowded horde. However, at the later parts of the game when there are a lot more boss-type monsters, it can be VERY USEFUL in triggering HP and SP leech and other effects like Warrant of Arbiter (313426) . The rapid-fire hits can also increase the odds of triggering the hidden "Miracle" super-buff (see below).
Anger of The Sun Anger of The Moon Anger of The Star	3	Marks monsters with Solar Wrath, Lunar Wrath, and Stellar Wrath. Monsters on the hitlist will receive up to 75% more damage. Solar Wrath works only on Small monsters. Lunar Wrath works only on Medium monsters with 6,000+ HP. Stellar Wrath works only on Large monsters with 20,000+ HP.
Blessing of The Sun Blessing of The Moon Blessing of The Star	4	Increases EXP gained from monsters targeted by the Wrath skills above. Check the time, or type @time to see what day it is on your server. Solar monsters give bonus EXP on even-numbered days. Lunar monsters give bonus EXP on odd-numbered days. Stellar monsters give bonus EXP on days divisible by 5 (e.g. 10, 15, 20). They can be active at the same time. E.g. in October 5, Blessing of The Moon and Blessing of The Star are active at the same time.
Comfort of The Sun Comfort of The Moon Comfort of The Star	4	*Solar Maps and even-numbered days - Reduces damage by a fixed amount. Lunar Maps and only on odd-numbered days - Increases FLEE. Stellar Maps and only on days divisible by 5 - Increases ASPD.
Friend of Sun Moon Star	Optional	Increases the Monk's chances of triggering Triple Attack when using Counter Kick Stance, and get an increased chance of triggering Counter Kick Stance when a Monk triggers Triple Attack. Very, very niche and gimmicky Passive.
Fusion of Sun Moon Star	Soul Link	Requires Level 9 Knowledge of Sun Moon Star and Star Gladiator Spirit buff from a Soul Linker to activate. A very powerful, very flashy, but very high-risk skill that lasts for 10 minutes. Gain increased movement speed. All your attacks will never miss and will completely ignore DEF. All at the cost of sacrificing 2% of your Max HP for each hit. Be sure you have a good amount of HP leech to compensate for this, because once you're at 20% HP and you damage something, you die! Even the skill's ID is ominous - 444. This skill is also a very good party trick. When it is active and you sit down, you'll slowly float upwards. Stand up and you'll gently descend. If you die with this skill active, your corpse will "jump" up and down. Spoopy. You can also cycle between Tumbling, Tornado Stance, Heel Drop Stance, Roundhouse Stance, and Counter Kick Stance to make your character "dance". The poses already look flashy, but doing it in mid-air makes it even better! Find other classes that can pose for even more fun!
Miracle of the Sun, Moon, and Stars	RNG	When dealing damage, there is a 1% chance to activate this super-buff, indicated by a blue icon and the screen having a slight blue tinge. Activates all Anger and Blessing skills, and enables the use of all Comfort and Warmth skills for an hour, even with unmarked maps and monsters. It doesn't go away on death and when logging out (timer stops). HOWEVER, YOU WILL LOSE THE BUFF WHEN CHANGING MAPS. Basically, when this happens, you deal 75% more damage to ALL mobs while receiving 100% more EXP within the map for an hour.

Skill	Level	Notes
Heaven Emperor
War Book Mastery	10	Increases PATK and Hit. Max it out.
Sky Mastery	10	Further increases the damage of all skills, except the "Sky" skills.
Rising Moon	5	Enables the use of Moon Skills for a certain duration. Can be used up to three times and affects what skills can be used and their effects. One use (Moonrise) - Enables use of Midnight Kick only. Two uses (Midnight) - Enables the use of Dawn Break. Midnight Kick deals increased damage. Three uses (Moonset) - disables the use Midnight Kick, only Dawn Break can be used, but gains increased damage.
Midnight Kick	5	Hits all enemies in a 9x9 area around the target. Deals increased damage when Rising Moon is at Midnight, or when Enchanting Sky is activated.
Dawn Break	5	Hits all enemies in a 9x9 area around the target. Deals increased damage when Rising Moon is at Moonset, or when Enchanting Sky is activated.

However, when Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Sky Emperor) [1] (400543) and Dimensions Emperor Moon Book [2] (540082) are equipped and both are A-Grade, this becomes SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER because using this skill will autocast Midnight Kick.
Enchanting Sky	10	Enables the use of all skills at their maximum potential.
Twinkling Galaxy	1	Calls forth random meteors from the sky.
Star Burst	3-5	Requires Twinkling Galaxy to activate. Redirects said random meteors to a single target, hitting it and all enemies in a 5x5 area.

Star Cannon	3	Prerequisite for Star Light Kick. Makes said random meteors a bit more powerful.

Currently can be purchased from player vendors at cheap prices.
Dim Glacier Book [1] (540056)	Book	Issgard Equipment	2nd best-in-slot weapon despite having just 1 slot. It can have three very powerful enchants of your choosing, which means no RNG nonsense.

Focusing on the more defensive enchants provides A LOT of damage reduction plus a HUGE quality of life improvement - 10% reduced VCT and over 100 Hard MDEF.

Nebula Armor of Power [1] (450169)	Armor	Constellation Tower	The best-in-slot armor, especially if all the stars align. But once you obtain a Circulation of Life Spring [1] (480349) with the Life of Spring (Strength) (313012) enchant, Power Signet of Star [1] (490132) with Star Cluster of Strength Lv5 (313028) , and Signet of Circulation Spring [1] (490483) with Signet of Power Lv5 (312986) , there will be a huge increase in power.
Dimensions Emperor Moon Book [2] (540082)	Book	Time Gap Weapons	Most powerful and best-in-slot weapon. It can have two powerful enchants of your choosing, no RNG nonsense. When Grade A, it enables autocasting Midnight Kick while using Dawn Break when paired with a Grade A Time Dimensions Rune Crown (Sky Emperor) [1] (400543) , significantly increasing damage.
Mad Bunny-LT [1] (460020)	Shield	Alice Twisted Madness	The more offensive-oriented shield. Upgrade it to at least Grade D for the damage reduction, but it is highly recommended to max it out at Grade A and refine it to +12.
Glacier Guard [1] (460040)	Shield	Episode 20	Easy to get and fully enchant - the rewards from 20 The Immortal is enough to obtain one and fully enchant. Upgrade it to Grade C and refine it to +10 at most. Focusing on the more defensive enchants provides A LOT of damage reduction plus a HUGE quality of life improvement - 10% reduced VCT and over 100 Hard MDEF. Having over 100 Hard MDEF means complete immunity to a myriad of bad status effects, like getting Stoned, Frozen, and more!
Circulation of Life Spring [1] (480349)	Garment	Garden of Time - Divine Beast's Cloak: Summer	Best-in-slot Garment, becoming even stronger when all the stars align. See the Nebula Armor of Power [1] (450169) above for more info.

Power Signet of Star [1] (490132)	Accessory (Right)	Constellation Tower	The best-in-slot accessory, but it is very expensive to enchant due to extremely maddening RNG.

Book of the Red Moon [2] (540115)	Weapon	Chapter_1#Zero_Cell_Sector	The moon counterpart of Frontier Emperor Battle Book [2] (540111) , it significantly boosts damage of Moon-related skills. When Enchanting Sky is active, using Sky Moon will autocast Dawn Break, and using Dawn Break will autocast Midnight Kick for 150 seconds. However, it is unknown if using Sky Moon will autocast Dawn Break, which will autocast Midnight Kick in a domino effect, similar to its Sun Counterpart (see Frontier Rune Crown (Sky Emperor) [1] (400989) in the Sun Build), or if they're separate. It must be graded and refined to A and at least +12, but it can stand alone by itself, which means you have more options for Upper Headgear and aren't constrained to a combo pair. The downside to this is, Enchanting Sky must be active at all times and must be reactivated every 150 seconds for its effects to stay up and running.
