Souleater Guide
This guide is created specifically for the new 333 Full Moon build coming with the future balance patch. See KR's April 2026 Balance Patch for details.
Why Play This Build?
This build has a ceiling that is basically 30% stronger than current NE builds.
Literally just swap OMG
What changed in KR's April balance patch:
Soul Core (Order Moon)
- 10p: Changed to: During Deathlord Mode, cooldown of [Stygian] skills -50%
- 14p: Entering Deathlord Mode → Using Vestige activates destiny.
- 17p: [Stygian] casting speed +15% and MP cost -50%. [Stygian] skill damage +20/25% while in Deathlord mode.
Possession (Order Star)
- 14p: (same as before) + Gain Push Immunity.
With the new changes to Soul Core, Stygian (green skills) gain 50% CDR inside Deathlord mode, which allows you to cast multiple enhanced Gluttony/Astaros by activating Destiny with Vestige (newly changed 14p effect).
The new Destiny activation method (Vestige) allows you to basically reset your Stygian cooldowns in builder cycle with 2 casts of Vestige.
Stygian skills also gain a considerable damage boost inside Death Lord from this core (+11% compared to current Soul Core).
Posssession core also grants Gluttony it's push immunity back while using the Possession tripod.
Party Synergies
Note: Deathlord Mode (Z) provides the same party-wide synergy as the skills listed above. Do not confuse this duration with the self-buff duration of Deathlord Mode.

Default to Blunt Thorn (it's stronger, you get plenty of crit from ark passive without losing anything). Standing Striker if you dislike white numbers.
Standing Striker can drop Master for Pulverize with a crit syn.
- Can also run Master/Pulverize as an alternative setup.
Blunt Thorn users can adjust Keen Sense to Limit Break if you have crit line on bracelet, and Master for Pulverize with a crit syn.
Basically just use your brain and adjust your ark passive nodes around to meet your desired crit rate with/without crit syn.

T Skill & Awakening
- Use only inside deathlord mode.
- Replaces Reaper's Scythe during your deathlord rotation.
- You are never really using this unless you really need the push/status immunity, or if you need to wait 1-2 seconds for T skill inside your deathlord (might be a dps loss though).
- Hyper Awakening is also really only used to avoid patterns (Serca G2 120x puddles) or precast for damage.
Gem Priority
- This build is fully functional on Lv.8 CDR gems. Your cooldowns coming back up is mostly from destiny activation on Vestige.
The damage split between between Gluttony/Guillotine Swing/Vestige is pretty close (~16-17% each, might be some variance too), would recommend upgrading them equally.
- Could honestly be Guillotine Swing > Vestige > Gluttony too; Gluttony damage varies on how much of it you head attack also.
- Damage distribution currently looks something like this: Astaros ~24%, Gluttony/Guillotine Swing/Vestige ~16-17% each, T-skill ~14-17% (depends on how many casts u can get off), Reaper's Scythe ~7-8%. (Will update when we can test on NA).
DPS Distribution
Approximate values based on KR. Vestige, Gluttony, Guillotine Swing are very close (16-17% with some variance), T-Skill range is 14–17%..
Rotation
If you are unable to cast Death Order before using Vestige to exit Deathlord mode, you can cast Death Order right after Vestige (3 Death Order Rotation)
- Slightly longer (~2 seconds) rotation as you need to wait for 2nd Death Order cd to come off before double Vestige in builder.
