After you complete your level 20 test, you will obtain Battle Aura. Battle Aura has 6 aura codes, ranging from Water, Ice, Fire, Lightning, Earth and Wind.
There is no known stat difference between the Aura Codes for CabalSEA, so just choose the graphical appearance you prefer.

Aura Mode


Aura Mode adds ATK, MATK, Def, Def rate, Atk rate, Crit rate, Crit damage and HP restore.

1. Battle Aura can be stacked onto Battle Mode 1 and Battle Mode 2 later.
2. Battle Aura is the only power up that can combo with shooting star
3. Battle Aura is the only mode that adds crit rate and crit damage.
4. Combo can only be used after a certain rank is achieved.

Battle Mode 1

Illusionist - Increases your abilities by even more than what aura mode can provide.

Battle Mode 2

Grappler/Blader - Transform your dual swords into dual astral claws. Abilities are enhanced beyond Battle Mode I.

Crushing Blow

Crushing Blow - A deadly skill that can 1 hit KO many monsters when a critical hit is dealt. If a critical hit is not achieved, intense damage is still dealt. Max damage with critical is around 6k, so it cannot 1 hit KO everything. Only usable when you are in BM 2.

Mystic Martialset and Osmium Armorset

I will not talk about Mithril- still very rare and hard to obtain.

Mystic Martialset:

- More defense rate than Osmium Armor
- More defense at +6 than Osmium Armor
- Harder and more expensive to get 2 slotted piece
- Crafted Amp gear is usualy going to 5%/non sloted
- Rare lvl 2 upgrades in slot
- Rare Amp in slot

Osmium Armorset:

- Plenty of 2 slotted Osmium Armor gear with great crafting bonuses and lvl 2 upgrades
- Expensive Amped armor parts, but still easy to find if you have alz.
- Decent defense at +6 and +7
- Poor defense rate

As you can see if you opt for more bonuses in the gear your choice will definitely be Osmium Armorset. Simple fact is there are plenty of 2 slotted items and crafters to make it even better- from HP increase, Amp and Crit rate/damage to Extra defense.

Katana or Blade:

It doesn’t matter really- as long as you have the stats. Basic rule: Blades require more STR, Katana’s- DEX. Again crafting bonuses determine the type of weapon you will choose. In my opinion Blades look cooler and add more to your attack (4-6 points additionally).

You can have sword amp, crit damage, crit rate bonuses in your weapons.

Accessories:

You’ve chosen the set to go for, you have the skills...you have the stats, you have the weapons…what is left- jewelry.

Epaulette - Three types here: of Sage (useless for BL), of Guard and of Fighter.

My recommendation is to get both Guard and Fighter especially on higher lvls. Fighter increases attack and gives amp, Guard gives you defense and increases flee rate. So as you can see they both give different cool bonuses- one for the PVP set, other- for PVE.

Earrings - Well for Blader you can get Vampiric or Guard.. Vampiric is best if you opt for a PVE Mystic set with HP steal as bonuses for +3 or +4 are pretty cool.
Guard is a good choice if you opt for more defense and flee rate. Force regeneration- crap in my opinion.

Bracelet- Fighter or Extortion. Fighter- PVP and PVE usable because of attack and amp bonus, as well as nice minimum damage boost. Extortion – PVE ideal to combine with leaching gear.

Amulets- Here the choice depends on type of gear you wear to enhance either PVP or PVE set. Four choices- of Guard, Vamipic, of Battler, of Pain. Battler, Vampiric and Pain are craft only, Guard drops until +7.

Vampiric and Guard are orientated mostly for PVE gear, while Battler and Pain can be worn with both set types.

Rings - Not much choices here- Ring of Luck +1/2 for 10/15% crit rate, or Ring of Fighter for complexity of stats increase- you get defense, attack and crit. Extortion for leaching gear although if you get the bonuses from other crafted parts they are useless.
