Best Special Effects

Best Offensive Special Effects

Prioritize Increasing Attack Power Against Bosses

You can use Special Effects to increase your attack power and go up against powerful bosses. We recommend you prioritize effects that raise the damage dealth with a Fatal Strike, together with increasing your Spirit gain.

Effects that raises Divine Beast Gauge more rapidly are also recommended to be able to summon a Divine Beasts faster in battle, which deal powerful attacks and act as your support.

Best Defensive Special Effects

Use Special Effects that Raise Deflect and Gaurd

We recommend you prioritize raising your Deflect and Guard for the most effective defensive build, with Health and Damage reduction as lower priority.

Other Special Effects

Choose Effects that Make Exploration and Item Drops Better

These Special Effects are great for improving other aspects of the game such as increasing the chances of gaining rare equipment with Luck, or earning higher amounts of Copper with Copper Obtention.

How to Customize Special Effects

Embed Jewel Fragments at the Blacksmith

You can customize your equipment's Special Effects by spending Jewel Fragments and Copper at Zhu Xia's Blacksmith Shop. You can choose to extract or embed Special Effects from weapons and armor and customize your build.

Each type of equipment has a specific number of Special Effect slots that determine how many effects you can add to it.

Can't Remove Special Effect on the First Slot

Some common weapons and armor come with their default Special Effects found on the first slot. You normally cannot remove or replace default special effects, and only be able to add or remove the other slots. However, you can remove or replace all Special Effects slots for most weapons and armor that come with Set Bonuses.

Steps to Add or Remove Special Effects

	Steps to Add or Remove Special Effects
1	Open the Blacksmith Menu by Talking to Zhu Xia and select Embedment in the Blacksmith Menu.
2	Select the desired Weapon or Armor and click on Choose Embedding Slot.
3	Hover over the slot that you want to add or remove. Then select Embed to add, or Extract to remove.
4	Don't forget to check if you have enough required materials in order to successfully Embed your equipment.
