Whether you're slicing through PvE bosses or outplaying opponents in PvP, Magiblade stands as one of the most stylish and rewarding classes in Crystal of Atlan. Blending fast-paced swordplay with shadow-infused spellcraft, Magiblade thrives on fluid combos, cooldown resets, and crit-based burst windows.
This guide, brought to you by LDShop, covers both PvE and PvP builds in full detail—recommended weapons, optimal skills, armor synergy, rotation tips, and the mechanics behind looped cooldowns using Blinding Silhouette. If you're looking to master a hybrid burst-DPS class with incredible scaling and technical depth, this guide is your ultimate resource.
What we cover
PvE Weapon Choices
Hexblade of the Serene Dragon
Main Stats:
- MATK: +720
- Intelligence: +385
- Physique: +231
- Spirit: +308
Substats:
- MCrit: +7.5%
- Crit DMG: +7.5%
- ASPD: +30%
- MATK: +40%
- +1 Level to Magiblade Active Skills (Lv.15–45)
- [Sword of High Determination] cooldown -10%
Why It Fits
Hexblade is built around maximizing burst and reducing downtime for core nukes. Its +40% MATK bonus significantly amplifies total magic output, and the +1 skill level increases scaling on nearly all active tools, directly improving combo consistency and DoT effects.
What makes this sword essential for many builds is the cooldown reduction on “Sword of High Determination”, which is the Magiblade’s strongest finisher. The ASPD buff also accelerates your Blinding Silhouette rotation, helping you quickly trigger shadow resets. In short, this weapon fits both mechanically and statistically into a meta-critical build for Magiblade.
Starfall Sword
Main Stats:
- MATK: +720
- Intelligence: +385
- Physique: +231
- Spirit: +308
Substats:
- All-Attribute Enhancement: +18%
- All-Attribute Resistance: +9%
- MCrit: +5%
- Elemental Conversion: Based on highest enhancement, grants matching elemental attack
Why It Fit
Starfall Sword transforms the Magiblade into a pure elemental burst-DPS, ideal for Ice-based optimization. With 200%+ Ice ENH (see Stat Thresholds), this weapon converts all neutral damage to Ice, benefiting from further external buffs, enemy weaknesses, and even pet passives that scale with elementals.
Unlike Hexblade, which focuses on internal cooldowns and scaling, Starfall Sword fits external synergy teams and situations where you're able to push one attribute high (e.g. +200 Ice ENH via Circuit + Gear + Insignia). It's slightly weaker for flat CD-based burst but superior for long-duration bossing and raids with elemental break points.
PvE Armor Choices
Mighty Chariot (Breastplate)
[Chariot Horn]
After casting Resonance skill, gain [Chariot Horn], increasing CDMG by 18% for 8s.
After the effect expire, gain [Chariot Horn] mark until the next [Chariot Horn] is gained.
Mighty Chariot (Gloves)
[Chariot Beast]
After casting Pet Skill, gain [Chariot Beast], increasing Crit Rate by 12% for 8s.
After the effect expire, gain [Chariot Beast] mark until the next [Chariot Beast] is gained.
Might Chariot (Pants)
[Chariot Charge]
After casting any active skills, gain 10% Physical and Magical PEN for 8s.
Cannot gain the [Chariot Charge] effect again for 12s after effect ends, but retain the [Chariot Charge] mark.
3-piece Set Bonus:
- STR/INT/AGI/Physique/Spirit +200
- Duration of all [Chariot] effects is increased to 12s.
- When 3 different [Chariot] effects or marks are active simultaneously, all Chariot effects and marks merge into [Mournful Strike] and [Rageful Awakening].
- [Mournful Strike]
Increase the next Skill DMG Multiplier by 125%. Effect last 15s or until a skill is used. - [Rageful Awakening]
Crit rate is increased by 25%, CDMG is increased by 50%.

Physical and Magic PEN is increased by 10%, and DMG to Bosses increased by 10%, lasting 15s. - Cannot gain any [Chariot] effects or marks for 24s after effect ends.
Valiant Guard (Helmet)
[Unretiring Warrior]
Upon entering combat, gain 5% Crit Rate. Every 30s, Crit Rate increases by 0.5%, up to 10%. This effect persists after revival.
Upon entering combat, CDMG is increased. For reach [Hexchess Armor] equipped, CDMG +2% up to 10%.
Valiant Guard (Shoes)
[Blade Assault]
DMG Dealt increased with fluctuation from 0%-10%.
Upon entering combat, ASPD and CD Rate is increased by 6 points, per [Hexchess Armor] equipped, up to 30 points.
Why They Fit
Magiblade’s rotation relies on crit chains, resonance timing, and burst skills. Mighty Chariot boosts all of these by giving Crit and CDMG, and its Chariot Marks trigger naturally through your combo flow.
Once fully stacked, it grants +125% to your next finisher or Blinding Silhouette, plus extra CDMG and PEN. Paired with Sword of High Determination, this creates massive PvE burst windows perfect for bossing.
PvE Accessory Choices
Decay Set (Necklace)
[Soul-shattering Armor]
Give enemies within 50 meters, a [Red Soul] mark. Whenever the enemy unit is attacked, there is 20% chance to drop a [Red Sou]l. When the enemy unit dies, it will drop 2 [Red Soul]. The player can absorb the dropped [Red Soul] and gain 0.4% DMG increase and 0.2% DMG RES per stacks up to 10 stacks, for 20 seconds.
Decay Set (Ring)
[Disaster Crystal Worm]
Every time critical hit landed, Summon [Disaster Crystal Worm] (5 seconds cooldown). The worm will automatically find nearest target and self-destruct, causing 1800% DMG. The worm is considered friendly unit and can trigger [Cyan Soul] drops.
Famine Set (Bracer)
When 4 or more skills are on cooldown, the player will enter [Hungry] state.
[Frenzy of Gluttony]
When in [Hungry] state, increase DMG during Resonance by 10%.
When using Resonance during [Hungry] state, All-attribute +20, lasting 15 seconds.
Why They Fit
Decay synergizes perfectly with Magiblade’s high MCrit rotation. You’re constantly landing crits (80%+), so Crystal Worms are up almost every CD, providing AoE nukes.
The Necklace improves both flat damage and Resonance Charge, essential for cycling buffs like Fate, Chariot, and Famine. It's a PvE staple for builds relying on fast resets, resonance uptime, and crit-based rotations.

PvE SEAL & TALISMAN
War Madness (Seal)
[The ember of Betrayal]
When using non-finisher skill, gain 1 layer of [Sin Seal]. Each stack gives ASPD+10 and CD Rate +10 and MSPD +10, with maximum stacks of 5, lasting 10 seconds. When you have 5 stacks of [Sin Seal], using a non-finisher skill again will summon [War Frenzy Spear] (Shoot 3 spear, each deal 400% DMG, and cause target to [Bleed], taking 100% DMG per second for 10 seconds. [Bleed] cannot stacks and can only refresh duration), cooldown 10 seconds.
War Madness (Talisman)
[Scar]
When using finisher skill, Resonance, or Pet Skill, gain 5,3, or 2 layer of [Scar] respectively. Each stack increase all-attribute +3, with maximum stacks of 10, which last 25 seconds.
When you have 10 stacks of [Scar], will summon [War Frenzy Spear] (Shoot 3 spear, each deal 400% DMG, and cause target to [Bleed], taking 100% DMG per second for 10 seconds. [Bleed] cannot stacks and can only refresh duration) every 15 seconds.
2-piece Set Bonus:
- DMG Bonus +2%
- Skill DMG +3%
- BATK +2.5%
- [Never Regret]
Effect of [Sin Seal] and [Scar] is increased 1.5 times.
Every 3rd [War Frenzy Spear], an additional [War Frenzy Stinger] (Sting once, causing 1500% DMG, and causing enemy to enter [Severe Bleed], taking 140% DMG per seconds for 10 seconds. The [Sever Bleed] cannot stacks and only refresh duration) will be summoned.
Why They Fit
The War Madness set aligns perfectly with Magicblade’s high-frequency, combo-heavy playstyle. [Sin Seal] boosts ASPD and CD Rate with every non-finisher, letting you trigger Blinding Silhouette resets faster and maintain fluid skill loops.
Meanwhile, [Scar] synergizes with resonance and finisher timing, rewarding burst phases with powerful spear summons and All-Attribute scaling. The 2-piece bonus enhances both effects and adds high-DPS DoT pressure, making it ideal for sustained PvE fights.
PvE Skill Build & Rotation
Core Skill Structure
Finishers:
- Sword of High Determination: High-damage finisher with short wind-up
- Formation: Shattered Sun: AoE finisher used after burst chain
Skill Combos:
- Slot 1: Blade Dance + Unsheathe Sword Spirit
- Slot 2: Blinding Silhouette + Sword Tornado
- Slot 3: Illusion Flash + Magic Imbuement
- Slot 4: Sword Mark + Triple Flash
Sample Rotation
- Preload: Magic Imbuement → Sword's Mark → Sword Tornado
- Core Loop:
Blinding Silhouette → Triple Flash → Unsheathe Sword Spirit → Blinding Silhouette - Extension:
Illusion Flash → Teleport Mastery → Blade Dance - Finisher Phase:
Blinding Silhouette → Sword of High Determination → Shattered Sun
Why This Works
- Blinding Silhouette becomes loopable if Shadow Energy is built fast enough (via other skill usage)
- The third strike of Blinding Silhouette resets its CD
- You weave this into Triple Flash → Illusion Flash → Unsheathe Sword Spirit to build and consume Shadow loops
- Finishing with Sword of High Determination after a [Rageful Awakening] state leads to explosive burst
