Understanding Power Growth
Your combat power (CP) reflects your overall strength. You can view detailed stats through the Character > Rating Boost section. From there, compare your stats with top players in your guild to see what you need to improve — whether it’s gear, traits, or willpower.
1. Heavenly Crafting
Heavenly Crafting is one of the most important features for power progression. You can craft special scales of different rarities — from gray to orange. Higher rarities provide not only higher CP but also special passive effects. For example, an orange scale can add unique attack bonuses or trigger special skills in battle.
You can collect materials through dungeons and use special mats to guarantee red or higher quality items. Always check the “How to Obtain” section if you’re missing resources. Unlocks start at level 63, where you can begin crafting gear like boots or necklaces.
2. Traits and Martial Arts
Traits are passive boosts obtained through the Martial Arts > Trait menu. While they’re not the main source of CP, they provide useful bonuses for PvE and PvP. As you progress and unlock the Secret Study at level 60, more traits become available for additional boosts.
3. Gear Progression and Enhancement
Gear plays a huge role in power growth.
- Enhance your gear slots regularly — enhancements stay even when you replace your equipment.
- Farm dungeons daily for materials and higher-tier gear.
- Use Marshall Lucky Slips to earn extra loot beyond daily limits.
- Buy gear and willpower chests in the Windstrom Shop each week for quick upgrades.
Always check your Enhance tab under Character > Rating Boost to make sure your slots are maxed out.
4. Willpower System
This is the core mechanic for increasing your power. Each willpower item has elemental attributes:
- Earth: Defense boost
- Fire: Damage boost
- Metal: Crit rate and crit damage
- Wood: Cooldown reduction
- Water: Healing received
You should aim for level 3 in Fire and Earth first for a balanced build. DPS classes often prefer Fire + Metal combinations. Tanks can go Earth-heavy for durability. Don’t hesitate to level up your willpower — you can recycle it later to regain EXP when upgrading to better ones.
5. Skills and Ultimate Abilities
Your Ultimate Skill also contributes to CP. It can be enhanced up to 5 stars, providing additional damage or buffs.
Recommended ultimates:
- Swords Blossoms – High DPS burst
- Lotus Blaze – Strong area attack
- Peerless – Ideal for Guild Wars due to its cooldown control
Upgrade these as you gather duplicates and materials.
6. Dungeons and Abyss Challenges
Run Daily Dungeons and Dream Blade Abyss every day. Dream Blade Abyss offers weekly rewards, including willpower EXP and gear. Always select the highest difficulty you can clear safely. Boss fights are DPS checks, so team up with strong players for faster clears.
7. Stats and Allocation
Through School Skill > Practice, you can allocate points into Strength, Constitution, Endurance, and more. DPS builds usually focus on Attack, while tanks should prioritize Constitution and Endurance for survivability.
So your main focus in Sword of Justice should be: Crafting and upgrading through Heavenly Crafting, Consistent gear enhancement and Windstrom Shop purchases, Fully investing in the Willpower system and Upgrading your Ultimate Skill and traits gradually!
Combine these steps with daily dungeon runs, and you’ll see your combat power rise quickly. Keep refining your build, experiment with elements, and soon you’ll stand among the top players in Sword of Justice.
