5. Stormblade — Sustained Chain Build
A second Stormblade entry, this build focuses on sustained DPS through chain combos rather than burst. By optimizing cooldown reduction and combo extensions, this variant keeps damage flowing consistently throughout the benchmark. Popular among players who prefer a rhythm-based playstyle.
6. Beat Performer — Damage Support Hybrid
While primarily a support class, the Beat Performer's damage variant has surprised many on the leaderboard. By investing in offensive stats and using damage-amplifying melodies, this build achieves competitive DPS while providing team utility.
7. Frost Mage — Single-Target Ice Build
A focused single-target variant of the Frost Mage that sacrifices AoE for raw damage output. Ice Lance spam with critical hit optimization makes this a formidable choice for benchmark testing and boss encounters.
8. Marksman — Charged Shot Build
This build maximizes damage per hit rather than attack speed. Charged shots deal massive single-hit damage, making it excellent for burst phases. The slower pace requires precise timing but rewards players with impressive peak DPS numbers.
9. Wind Knight — Elemental Burst
An elemental-focused Wind Knight variant that combines wind and secondary element procs. This build is especially effective against enemies with elemental weaknesses and has been climbing the rankings as players optimize their gear.
10. Verdant Oracle — Offensive Caster
Rounding out the list, the Verdant Oracle's offensive build uses nature-element magic for steady DPS. While it won't top the charts, it provides competitive damage alongside self-healing, making it a durable option for solo content and extended fights.
