Basic Astrals
Unsure of which astral you should use?
Unsure of which astral to level up first?
Then look no further! This should give you a pretty damn good idea!
Below is a list of basic Astrals you need. Once you have these in either Purple, Orange or Red you can begin to look towards more advanced or alternative Astrals.
The most important Astrals amongst this list is Enhanced Will Destroyer, if you reach 7,000 astral star points and have yet to receive this in Orange, then this is what you need to buy first.
I'd also like to point out that these are your starting astrals, as you become stronger and your refines and equipment get better, the order will change.
Enshieldment for example is one of the Knights most needed astral, early on it doesn't do much, but later on combined with gems and refines, this can allow you to block a large chunk of attacks and heal through skill abilities.
1. Enhanced Will Destroyer
2. Holy Force
3. Holy Willpower
4. Refined Goddess Blessing
5, Holy Fortitude
6. Holy Enshieldment
7. Holy Brilliance
I'm going to make my suggestions based on Purples at the moment, we're going to pretend you haven't had much luck and not received oranges or reds yet.
Once you obtain one of the above astrals, make them all level 4 as soon as possible. Leveling anything that gives you +number and not a +% increase/decrease.
First and foremost you need to upgrade your attack, this will result in more damage at World Boss and allow you to obtain more gold/daru to put towards upgrading Astrals even further.
Once your attack is at level 4, you can then proceed to the next astral, which should be Magic Defense. You'll naturally gain more Physical Defense due to skill abilities so you need to cover yourself against Mages a little more.
You keep repeating this process setting Attack as your highest priority, followed with defenses.
Once you obtain orange Enhanced Will Destroyer or Refined Goddess Blessing however, these two will become a higher priority.
An example using the best obtainable astrals at the moment;
+5% Attack from Enhanced Will Destroyer should amount to more than +288 Attack from Holy Force. It may even add more attack than if you upgraded Holy Force twice. This will depend on your current attack stat. Same thing can be said for Refined Goddess Blessing
+3% Damage Reduction can amount to more than +288 from Holy Fortitude and +288 Holy Willpower, especially in PVE circumstances such as Multiplayer Dungeons.
