In 'Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions' (hereafter 'Arthdal Chronicles'), you can imbue your Spirits, Mounts, and Weapon Appearances with specific skills. Think of these as the bread and butter of your power progression—essential for boosting your combat efficiency, whether you are grinding, tackling bosses, or diving into PvP. Below, we break down the top-tier picks, focusing on Legend-grade performance.

Prioritise the Unique Skills

Certain Spirits and Mounts allow for 'Unique Skills'. While these are notoriously stingy with their drop rates compared to standard options, their performance is undeniable. If you land one, lock it in immediately. You can find the specific Spirits and Mounts eligible for these unique buffs listed below.

Spirit Skill Priority: 'Assault'

Spirit skills are distinct because they can be triggered regardless of the character's current state. This means you can fire them off even while mid-animation or when you are stuck in crowd control, giving them a significant tactical edge.

For general use, 'Assault' is the clear winner. Outside of Unique Skills, it offers the highest damage output with a refreshingly short cooldown, making it a reliable choice for any situation. While 'Forceful Strike' deals less damage, it stuns targets for two seconds—a game-changer in PvP. Our advice? Equip 'Forceful Strike' on your dedicated PvP Spirit and use the 'Combat Quick Settings' to swap it in on the fly.

If you are strictly focused on farming, go for 'Attribute Enhancement'. Boosting all attribute amplification by 17% is a massive boon for your clear speeds. Just keep in mind this only works if you are actively wielding a weapon with an attribute. Other solid choices include 'Hand Over the Fortune' (20% damage against normal monsters) or 'Do You Want Power?' (15% total damage increase).

Mount Skill Priority: 'Continuous Stride'

Mount skills function as if the character is manually casting them. Consequently, they are disabled if you are mid-animation or crowd-controlled. Because of this, skills that rely solely on direct damage output tend to lag behind.So, what should you be using? We recommend 'Continuous Stride' for its versatility as a buff. It bumps up your critical rate by 16% for 10 seconds, and with a 20-second cooldown, you are looking at a 50% uptime. It is a fantastic performer in both farming and boss encounters.

It is not too shabby in PvP, either. 'Continuous Stride' can be stacked up to three times, allowing for a burst of 12m movement. Considering most other skills only cover 5m, this provides an overwhelming advantage when you need to chase down a target or make a cheeky escape.

Melee classes might also consider 'Body Slam'. While the damage is nothing to write home about, the 12m dash is incredibly practical for closing gaps. If you are a ranged specialist purely focused on farming, 'Living Fortress' is another viable contender. It boosts all damage and damage reduction by 8% at the cost of a 30% reduction in movement speed—a negligible penalty since ranged characters rarely need to move much while farming.

Weapon Appearance Skill Priority: 'Sword of Judgment'

Unlike the Spirit and Mount skills we have discussed, Weapon Appearance skills trigger automatically when you use specific abilities. Success here depends entirely on syncing these triggers with your core skill rotations and cooldowns.

The 'Sword of Judgment' is the most versatile option. It deals a respectable 320% of your attack power with a snappy 30-second cooldown. Crucially, it triggers off your character's basic chain skills, making it a natural fit for any rotation.

For pure farming, 'Diligent Hunter' is the way to go. Its 10-second cooldown ensures frequent procs, and it deals 128% damage to normal monsters—handily outperforming the 'Sword of Judgment'. Just be aware that damage drops by 85% against anything other than normal monsters, so keep this for your farming-specific weapon set.

In PvP, 'Hope Shredder' is in a league of its own. It applies eight stacks of 'Recovery Inhibition' to the target for 20 seconds, slashing incoming healing by 24% and health potion efficacy by 40%. While many weapon skills only apply to the user's own attacks, the 'Hope Shredder' effect benefits your entire party, making it a terrifying wildcard in large-scale skirmishes.
