Gauge Breaker Build

Stranger of Paradise - Gauge Breaker
The focus of this build is centered around the use of the abilities for the Job that present enemies with sgnificant damages against their BreakGauges. Any of the weapon types can be used for this build, though we would recommend the use of daggers if only for their speed and ease of use.

Command Ability Setup

Best Commands
JubakuJubaku LunaticLunatic (Berserker Ability) Blood WeaponBlood Weapon (Marauder Ability)
  • Jubaku: Extends the duration of status ailments against an enemy, while also debuffing them with every attack.
  • Lunatic: Increases the player's attack speed, but at the cost of disabling automatic break gauge regeneration.
  • Blood Weapon: Lets players regain HP based on the damage dealt against enemies while the buff is active. Useful when used alongside Daggers to quickly replenish HP.

Passive and Effect Priorities

Best Passives and Effects
Status Ailment Accumulation +12.2%Status Ailment Accumulation +12.2% Glorious BladeGlorious Blade Ability Break Damage +2.6%Ability Break Damage +2.6%
  • Status Ailment Accumulation +12.2%: Increases the accumulation rate of enemies when they are being faced with attacks that are imbued with certain Status Aiments. Used along Jubaku, this allows the players to keep enemies weakened for as long as possible while also gradually removing them as a threat due to debuffs.
  • Glorious Blade: Critical hits against an enemy will reduce their max break gauge.
  • Ability Break Damage +2.6%: All ability attacks will deal more enemy break gauge damage.

Recommended Equipment Effects

Equipment Effects
・MP Recovery Rate with Normal Attacks ( + )
・Status Ailment Accumulation ( + )
・Physical Damage Dealt ( + )
・Critical Damage Dealt ( + )

Although not intensive on the use of MP, you may require at least half of a full set of gauges in order to make use of the useful Command Abilities for this build. Since this build is also predicated around Critical Damage with some after effects of Status Accumulation, it would be useful to pick up stat bonuses for those two things through Equipment Effects as well.

Best Job Synergies and Pairings

Breaker

Cannot use shields
Basic Info The Breaker is a soul burst master. This Job has the ability to summon the Zantetsuken, a colossal blade that devastates foes. Enemies who fall by this blade will be finished with a soul burst.

A good Job for players who place a good emphasis on destroying enemies from the get-go of each battle. This Job is built around combos that Soul Break enemies automatically, recovering any MP used on them

This Job also allows the use of a Lance, a good weapon for players who are looking to add a bit of range to the mix of their combat.

Tyrant

Sword
Daggers
Knuckles
Mace
Lance
Katana
Can use shields
Basic Info The Tyrant is a master of elemental combat. This Job has the ability to imbue their weapon with an element corresponding to the magic of their choice.

Without stepping out away from the comfort of using either Katanas or Daggers, Tyrant is a good back up Job for players who have already grown attached to particular movesets and combos that certain weapons bring.

The Tyrant also has similar ability effects as the Ninja, putting some attention on increasing an enemy's accumulation of status ailments.

I can't use those ninja skills with daggers. it only allows me to assign them when using swords. Am I missing something?
