In the mist-shrouded realms where destiny intertwines with myth, the Destined One's journey hinges upon a singular truth: Attack is the lifeblood of victory. Like a blade honed by celestial fires, each increment transforms battles against Yaoguai chiefs and spectral guardians from desperate struggles into dances of dominance. This core stat, etched into the very soul of the staff-wielder, whispers promises of shattered defenses and crumbling fortresses when nurtured. Forged not merely through brute force but through the alchemy of artifacts, skills, and strategy, the pursuit of heightened Attack becomes a pilgrimage toward becoming the true embodiment of the Great Sage.

Weapons: The Forged Backbone of Fury

Like a river carving its path through stone, the chosen weapon determines the flow of destruction. The Destined One's arsenal sings with possibilities:

Weapon	Attack Power	Unique Trait
Jingubang	135	Legendary balance
Stormflash Loong Staff	140	Raw elemental force
Tri-Point Double-Edged Spear	135	Precision piercing
Dark Iron Staff	Variable	Scales with Defense 🌟

The Dark Iron Staff emerges as a paradox – an obsidian serpent whose venom grows deadlier as the wielder's resilience deepens. Paired with the Bull King Armor Set in New Game+, it becomes a tectonic force, shifting battlefields like continental plates colliding. Exotic staves demand tributes of secret boss cores, turning each acquisition into a saga.

Spell Binder: The Arcane Sacrifice

For those who've transcended reliance on incantations, the Spell Binder offers power through renunciation.

This relic is a locked grimoire – converting every drop of Mana into Attack potency but sealing spellcraft away. Against bosses as impervious to magic as mountains to rainfall, this trade becomes a masterstroke. The Destined One becomes a silent tempest, where each staff strike carries the weight of forsoken sorcery.

Surging Momentum: The Inner Furnace

True strength blooms from within. The Surging Momentum skill, nestled in Survival's embrace, is a coiled dragon awakening:

Rank 1-6: +3 Attack per 2 skill points 

Fully Maxed: +18 Attack (12 points total) 💥

Mid-game warriors find this investment repays like compound interest – a slow-burning fuse igniting explosive late-stage dominance. It’s the subtle fermentation turning ordinary grapes into vintage potency.

Loong Aura Amplification: The Divine Nectar

Among consumables, this pellet is ambrosia – a golden-hued catalyst that temporarily elevates:

• ⚔️ +Attack

• 🎯 +Critical Hit Chance

• 💥 +Critical Damage

Rarer than phoenix feathers and limited to single carriage, its use demands perfect timing against titans like Erlang Shen. Like catching lightning in a bottle, its fleeting radiance can illuminate the darkest battles.

Curios: Talismans of Transcendence

These trinkets are whispered promises made tangible. Slot constraints (expandable to 3 post-Yin Tiger) demand strategic choices:

• White Seashell Waist Chain: Steady +5 Attack 🐚

• Tiger Tally: Attack surge after light combos 🐅

• Gold Button: Power zenith at full health 💛

• Tiger Tendon Belt: Momentary boost after counters 🔍

Their conditions turn combat into ritual – maintaining full health or landing combos becomes a sacred dance to appease the damage gods.

Armor Sets: The Weight of Glory

When cloth and metal harmonize, they compose symphonies of destruction:

• Centipede Set: Attack blooms from Poison's embrace ☠️

• Golden Set: Post-Spirit Skill brilliance ✨

• Pilgrim's Set: Momentum-fueled strikes after sprints 🏃‍♂️

• Snout Mask: Gourd sips ignite fury 🍶

The Centipede Set, for those who court toxicity like beekeepers smoke, becomes a venomous garden where every thorn strengthens the rose.

Spirits: Phantom Patrons

Ethereal allies bestow power at cosmic prices:

Spirit	Attack Bonus	Drawback
Civer Sergeant	+5	None ✅
Non-Able	+5	Mana crippled ❌
Mad Tiger	+7	Health slashed ❌
Snake Sheriff	+8	Defense reduced ❌

Civer Sergeant alone offers pure boon – a loyal shadow demanding no sacrifice. The others are Faustian bargains, where power flows from open veins.

Gourds: Elixirs of Wrath

Beyond healing, these vessels channel transient fury:

• Plaguebane/Immortal Blessing: Sip-induced adrenaline ⏱️

• Multi-Glazed: Final draught unleashes torrent 🌊

Yet relying on them is like building castles on tides – magnificent but perilously fleeting. Their healing diminishment often outweighs their crimson gifts.

Relics: Echoes of Power

The Fuming Ears relic turns evasion into overture. Its Whistling Wind skill:

"Perfect Dodge → Temporary Attack Surge"

Mastering this is catching thunder in silk nets – evading at the millisecond precipice to counter with earthquaking retribution. It elevates dodging from survival to artistry.
