Build planning
VV: Ultimatum Skills
Plan VV: Ultimatum skills around your faction, release path, clan bonus, spirit charms, and PvP or boss priorities.
The point is not to crown one permanent best skill. A strong build happens when faction release, clan passive, skill tree, and Spirit Charms all support the same combat job.
- Do not chase a tier list in isolation; skill value depends on faction release, clan passive, and your preferred range.
- PvE builds reward consistency, cooldown control, and safe burst windows.
- PvP builds need movement, guard pressure, escape options, and a punish tool for missed parries.
- Spirit charms should reinforce one clear plan instead of spreading small bonuses across unrelated stats.
- When a patch lands, re-check cooldowns, damage scaling, and any clan-specific changes before rerolling.
Build logic
Clan + faction + charm
VV: Ultimatum: Build planning works best when every slot reinforces one combat goal: pressure, range, survivability, cooldown uptime, or burst punish.

Notch rules
3 equipped slots
Spirit Charms are not just more-is-better; all three slots should serve one build.
Tier 1-4
Higher tiers usually bring stronger effects, but they consume more notch space.
3 notches safe
Once total notches exceed 3, each extra notch reduces max HP.

Charm removal is not a casual reset button; the purple portal route needs in-game verification.
