Signature mechanic

Avatar doubles his attack output

Seofon spends the Avatar gauge, filled by combo finishers, to summon a duplicate that attacks alongside him. While the avatar is active, further finishers raise his Swordshine level, which adds extra attacks on top. The rule that defines him is simple: only use skills while the avatar is out, because everything is worth roughly double there.

Seofon is a combo-heavy DPS that revolves around summoning his avatar to double his attack output. He has skills that give massive buffs, further improving his power, and is good to use against bosses. One of the best skills he has in his arsenal is the Seven-Star's Brilliance, which maxes out all SBA gauges, letting his team deal chained SBA frequently.— Game8 tier assessment

Strengths

1
Enormous burst windows
Avatar plus high Swordshine effectively doubles his output for the duration.
2
Excellent against bosses
S tier, with self-buffs that make him one of the strongest single-target duellists.
3
Clear decision rules
Complex to execute but conceptually simple — hold skills for the avatar window.

Weaknesses

1
Feast or famine
Outside the avatar window his damage is ordinary, so poor gauge management wastes the character.
2
Finisher-gated
Everything keys off combo finishers; interruptions cost you both gauge and Swordshine.
3
Paid unlock
Requires Siero's Treasure Trade or a purchase rather than normal progression.

Support skills (passives)

Star Sword Sovereign
Allows Seofon to consume the Avatar gauge to summon an avatar. Landing combo finishers fills the Avatar gauge.
Spirit Swords
Seofon deals additional attacks based on his Swordshine level. Landing combo finishers while an avatar is summoned raises Swordshine level.

How to unlock

Trade Via Siero's Treasure Trade

Seofon can be unlocked by trading 3 Supreme Weapon Essence for his Crewmate Card. This can be done via the Treasure Trade in Siero's Knickknack Shack .

Sigil loadout — Proud endgame

Seofon's best sigils revolve around improving the damage of his normal attacks and skills . You can raise the damage cap of both attacks primarily with Alpha and Beta . Tyranny and Stamina are his main source of attack stats, allowing him to reach the damage cap provided by Gamma and DMG Cap .

Supplemental Damage and Berserker's Echo are essential to his build as they help him deal additional instances of damage, which also includes the attacks from his avatar. For Seofon's character-specific sigils , it is best to get Awakening , and Warpath . You can also use the Rally and Fury versions if the sub-traits are good.

As for his utilities and defensive options, choosing Cascade is important to lower the cooldown of his abilities after every hit. This will help him use his skills often in battle, and it will help him gain avatar and swordshine gauge faster. Potion Hoarder and Autorevive to give himself another chance to fight again if you mess up your combo and fail to dodge an attack.

Once Seofon has all of his Weapon Transcendance Masteries fully unlocked, he will have 80%-82% Critical Hit Rate without any sigils, traits, or summons. Therefore, he only needs to enable one Master Trait that increases his Critical Hit Rate by 20% to reach 100%, which will give him more room for his Over Mastery Bonus.

Sword of Eternal Splendor is Seofon's Terminus Weapon and is his best weapon in the endgame. It has an incredibly high raw attack stat in exchange for lower maximum HP . It works well with Catastrophe , which further boosts Seofon's attack by 50% and Damage Cap by 100% when max HP is at or below 45,000 HP. He also gains Regen to gradually restore health in battle, and Sigil Booster to increase all his trait levels by 1 once fully awakened.

Sigil loadout — Fatebreaker

Seofon's sigils in Endless Ragnarok center around his Master Traits. To get the maximum value out of it, he specifically needs 5 Basic-Stat , 3 Attack , and 2 Defense or Support . This will provide him up to 200% Damage Cap , 100% Attack Boost , 6% Defense , and 20,000 base HP .

We recommend 2 Health and 3 Stun Power for his basic stat sigils. Equipping exactly one Greater Aegis and Aegis boosts his health to 180k–195k without disabling the Catastrophe Nova boost. For attack, always run Fatebreaker , Celestial Lumen , and Celestial Terra to raise his damage cap. Finally, use his defense/support slots for Improved Dodge (for better evades) and Steel Nerves (for damage reduction with Stout Heart).

Prioritize Supplementary DMG and DMG Cap subtraits to boost his damage, and fully utilize his Fury and Rally character-sigils in the endgame. Due to the existence of summon traits, Warpath is removed in this build. Run Uplift to build his SBA gauge faster, and slot in Guts , Potion Hoarder , and Autorevive for his survivability options. Quick Cooldown further reduces the cooldown of his skills.

Make sure to equip one Critical Hit Rate +25% . It is also important to activate all traits that provide bonuses based on equipped sigils . Lastly, enhance his Fueling the Avatar perks with traits that starts him at a higher Swordshine level when summoning an avatar.

Execution

Combos & rotation

Combo B Fueling the Avatar Combo (Endless Ragnarok)9 steps
1. 1Immediately summon his Avatar at the start of battle, even if he has no Avatar gauge
2. 2Cast Barrido to close the gap and gain Avatar Gauge
3. 3Use Infinito Creare and Despedazar to gain more Avatar Gauge
4. 4(Optional) If link attack is available, use it to gain significantly more Avatar Gauge and Swordshine level
5. 5Execute a few Combo B until you have Swordshine level 3
6. 6Use Tempesta to regain all your Avatar Gauge while giving Seofon a higher attack and critical hit rate up buff.
7. 7Repeat Combo B while using the skills once it is available right away
8. 8If all skills are on cooldown and Seofon is about to run out of Avatar Gauge, use Combo E to dismiss his Avatar with a finisher
9. 9Immediately summon his Avatar again after one of his skills is available, then repeat the entire combo with a Swordshine level 1 right off the bat on his next summon.
You can use Seofon's upgraded combo once he is at Master Trait level 30. The main difference is that his damage is significantly higher and his Avatar lasts longer in a fight as long as you can do combo finishers and skills constantly. If you executed the combo well while avoiding any damage, he should be able to resummon his Avatar at full gauge as soon as it expires.
His Combo E move can be seen in Seofon's command list. You can do the move by using four normal attacks, followed by two unique attacks, and ending with a combo finisher to execute an avatar finisher when an avatar is summoned.
Combo B Tempesta Combo (Pre-DLC)5 steps
1. 1Always start the fight with Tempesta to instantly gain max Avatar gauge
2. 2Use Barrido to close the gap and damage the enemy
3. 3Cast Despedazar and Infinito Creare to deal more damage
4. 4Do Combo B until any one of Seofon's skills goes off cooldown, then immediately use it
5. 5Repeat until you run out of Avatar gauge
Seofon's best combo revolves around gaining Swordshine level as fast as possible using his skills and Combo B repeatedly. After you use 3 of his skills, you should be at level 2 Swordshine. A few Combo B will put you at level 3, which will enhance all of Seofon's attacks and skills going forward.
His Combo B move can be seen in Seofon's command list. You can do the move by using two normal attacks, followed by two unique attacks, and ending with a combo finisher.
Only Use Skills When Avatar Is Active
Once Seofon runs out of Avatar gauge, do not use his skills without it. Focus on gaining Avatar gauge by using Tempesta or executing any combo finishers. More than half of his Avatar gauge is enough . Recall his avatar by pressing his unique attack, then resume his combo.
Swordshine Level Enhances Seofon's Attacks
Each Swordshine level enhances all of Seofon's attacks. He hits more and deals increased damage than his non-Avatar attacks.
Dodge In Between Combo B When Necessary
You can dodge in between his attacks to avoid taking damage while preserving his combo finishers . Use this to your advantage to reposition yourself during battle, especially against agile bosses.
Use Link Attacks to Gain Avatar and Swordshine
When Avatar is activated, the only way for Seofon to regain his Avatar gauge is to use a link attack. This is why Stun Power is important for him so that he can do link attacks often.

Kit

Skills

Recommended loadout — Barrido and Tempesta

Seofon utilizes both his normal attack combos and skills. It is best for him to have 3-4 offensive skills to take full advantage of his Avatar, which can enhance his skills. His Avatar gauge gain is slow, so make sure to use Tempesta to instantly grant him maximum Avatar gauge.

As for his offensive skills, Barrido is his gap closer that can deal a lot of damage and has a low cooldown. Despedazar launches small enemies it hits as well as deals multiple small AoE damage in front of him. Infinito Creare is his projectile skill that deals a high amount of small damage in an area. Use this skill only when the enemy cannot dodge it.

Skill	Effect	Applies
BarridoRecommended	A fast lunge attack. When Swordshine lvl is high enough, avatar joins the attack for more hits.
DespedazarRecommended	Unleashes a series of swift slashes. When Swordshine lvl is high enough, avatar joins the attack for more hits.
Infinito CreareRecommended	Barrages a foe with spirit swords. When Swordshine lvl is high enough, unleashes more spirit swords.
Ispirazione	Grants Hostility↑ and DEF↑ to Seofon. Also grants Debuff Immunity when Swordshine lvl is high enough.
Prisión de Armas	Unleashes a conical wave of damage that inflicts Slow to foes. When Swordshine lvl is high enough, avatar joins the attack for more damage.
Rotura	Dodges backward, then leaps forward to deal a high amount of stun. When Swordshine lvl is high enough, avatar joins the attack for more hits.
Seven-Star's Brilliance	Maxes out all SBA gauges. Castable once per battle. Starts on a cooldown (effects can't shorten it). Entering critical condition restarts the cooldown.
TempestaRecommended	Grants Critical Hit Rate↑ and ATK↑ to Seofon, and maxes out the Avatar gauge. Effect strength is boosted when Swordshine lvl is high enough.

Situational swaps: Seven-Star's Brilliance.If you have fully mastered Seofon and all of the boss patterns. You can swap out any of his skills with Seven-Star's Brilliance . It has a significantly long starting cooldown at the start of battle, a slow charge when activated, and a single-time use per battle. It can also reset the cooldown if Seofon is downed in battle.

Party

Recommended team — Captain (Gran/Djeeta), Eugen, and Cagliostro

Captain will be your tank frontline, using The Substitute Master Trait build to provide shield for the party and absorb damage you take and redirect it to them. Phalanx and Substitute are important skills to bring. If you want Captain to deal damage, then picking Armor Break and Reginleiv is the choice. Otherwise, you can swap Armor Break with Rage , Veil , or Dispel depending on the boss you are tackling.

Eugen will be your ranged backline damage dealer using Flawless Vision Master Trait build to inflict a ton of damage with charged attacks and Detonator. His most important skills are Poison Grenade , Paralyzing Bullet , and Detonator .

Cagliostro will be your other ranged support using her Alchemedic Master Trait build to provide offensive buffs, healing, and shields for the party. Phantasmagoria and Reinforce are important skills to have. Pain Train and Alexandria are low-cooldown damaging skills that allow her to charge her Collapse quickly after use.
