Notes[edit]

Unlike other phantasms, this skill can be evaded and won't produce a Phantasm.
  • Phantasms have their own unique weapon strength that is independent of the player's equipped weapon rarity. The avenger has a weapon strength range of 2459-2772, with the midpoint being 2615.5.

Version history[edit]
