Solar/Luna Stances & Cosmic Skills
Dawn Warrior has 2 stances - Solar and Luna. Both stances are unlocked in 1st Job and have separate skill sets. In 2nd Job, Equinox Cycle is unlocked that automatically alternates between Solar and Luna stances while using attacks from each stance
Rising Sun - Solar Stance (1st Job): Increases %Final Damage and provides increased Attack Speed
Falling Moon - Luna Stance (1st Job): Increases %Crit Rate and doubles number of attacks dealt, however reduces your %Final Damage
Equinox Cycle (2nd Job): Automatically alternates between stances after attacking in one stance
- In 4th Job, the effects from both stances are applied together while Equinox Cycle is active
In 1st Job, Soul Element is unlocked that generates a resource called 'Cosmic Orbs' when landing an Solar/Luna attack opposite stance of the previously successful attack. Cosmic Orbs are used to activate 'Cosmic' skills and for each Cosmic Orb, consumed empowers the skill. Below is a list of all Cosmic skills:
- Cosmic Matter - 2nd Job
- Cosmic Shower - 3rd Job
- Cosmic Burst - 4th Job
- Cosmos - 5th Job
