You’re going to need the best build in Beast of Reincarnation if you want to breeze through the endgame. All the bosses and late-game challenges can prove to be a problem if you’re not using the right build. However, with so many setups to choose from, figuring out what works the best isn’t exactly easy.
The good news is that you don’t have to spend hours experimenting, as I’ve done all the work for you. Here’s my best endgame build in Beast of Reincarnation and everything you’ll need to dominate your enemies: and that is the Thunderwave build, and it’s all centred around one powerful sword.
Best build to use in Beast of Reincarnation’s endgame
After experimenting with different setups, I’ve found the Thunderwave setup to be the best build in Beast of Reincarnation, especially for the endgame. This one revolves around the use of Thunderwave Sword, whose main gimmick is calling down a lightning strike whenever you hit an enemy. This bolt damages every nearby enemy.
However, the real strength of this build comes from its synergy with Koo’s Arts, Skills, and Spirit Stones. Together, these things will make it easy for you to inflict shock, leaving enemies stunned and opening them up for staggers.
I found this build to be especially effective when going against single-target bosses. However, you will also be able to use it when dealing with mobs of enemies. Once you have managed to unlock the Arts and Skills I’ve mentioned in the tables below, you will gain massive AoE damage, which will allow you to melt anything that stands in your way. You should be able to start using this build by the start of Chapter 3.
Emma’s Equipment
It’s crucial to keep in mind that you’ll need the Thunderwave Sword +3 for this build. You won’t be able to upgrade it until you’ve increased your power, so make sure to get on top of that.
| Category | Equipment | Effect |
| Weapon | Thunderwave Sword | Striking an enemy calls down lightning on nearby enemies. |
| Armor | Insulating Mail | Insulated armor that protects you against electricity and increases resistance to shock. |
| Arrows | Lightning Arrows | Inflicts your enemies with massive shock. |
| Spirit Stone | Entanglement Stone | Combat kicks off with Emma’s Entanglement Gauge at 3 and Koo’s FP at 3. |
| Spirit Stone | Onslaught | Enhanced damage at the start of the fight. |
| Spirit Stone | Fluorescent Recovery | Bloom Arts restores Emma and Koo’s HP every second. |
| Spirit Stone | Entangled Combo | Reaching 15 combos restores Emma’s Entanglement combo. |
| Spirit Stone | Critical Damage Increase | Boosts Emma and Koo’s critical damage. |
Koo’s Charms & Mods
For Koo, you’ll want to opt for ATK Charm III, and something that provides Ligtning II or Lightning II if you can get it. If those aren’t available, you can also go with anything that increases his critical chance instead.
| Category | Equipment | Effect |
| Charm | ATK Charm III | Calls a lightning strike instead of the usual attack. |
| Skills and Items | Recovery Tonic | Gradually recovers HP and heals. |
| Skills and Items | Fraility Fang | Damages and weakens enemies at the start. |
| Skills and Items | Binding Fang | Causes buildup of Bind and damages enemies. |
| Skills and Items | Bolt Shard | Throw at an enemy for a buildup of 100 Shock. |
| Skills and Items | Destructive Fang | Weakens the defense of enemies. |
| Skills and Items | Healing Bouquet | Recovers HP in the area. |
Emma’s Skills
When it comes to Emma’s Skills, you’ll want to spend Attribute points into Strength above everything else. This is to unlock Entanglement Overdrive, which works well with this build. It lets you slow down time and deal massive lightning damage.
| Branch | Skill | Effect |
| Entanglement Overdrive | Expand Entanglement Gauge | Extends your Entanglement gauge. |
| Entanglement Overdrive | Instant Entanglement | Gives a chance to fill the Entanglement gauge to full when taking out an enemy. |
| Entanglement Overdrive | Execution Assist | Koo executes nearby enemies when Emma takes out one. |
| Entanglement Overdrive | Execution Recovery | Successful execution recovers a portion of health. |
| Hair | Helm Splitter | Drive your sword into an area to deal AoE damage. |
| Blade Art | Shakuyaku | A slash imbued with the power of shakuyaku. |
| Blade Art | Range | Improves your skill attack area. |
| Blade Art | Botan | Provides an AoE slam attack. |
Koo’s Skills
Since the rest of this build is focused on going offensive, you’ll want to invest in Pounce and several Incantation Skills for Koo to amp up your damage.
| Branch | Skill | Effect |
| Pounce | Taunt | Koo’s howl temporarily draws nearby enemies. |
| Pounce | Detect Hidden Times | Helps you find nearby hidden items. |
| Pounce | Healing Bouquet | Recovers HP in an area. |
| Incantation | Mod: Status Effect Amp | Allows status effects to build twice as fast. |
| Incantation | Mod: Shocking Vigor | Adds Vigor +3 against shocked enemies |
| Incantation & Pounce | Mod: Roll of Thunder | Gives 1% stagger per lightning strike in the last sixty seconds. |
Best sword in Beast of Reincarnation
In my view, the best sword in Beast of Reincarnation is the Thunderwave Sword due to the build I covered above. When putting everything together, this is pound for pound the most powerful setup you can make, but if you’re not feeling that sword, there are others.
If you don’t like the build I’ve detailed above, or still don’t have the necessary gear to run it, you’ll still need a reliable sword to take down your enemies. After all, swords are the bread and butter of combat in the game.
Right now, the other best sword in Beast of Reincarnation is undoubtedly the Sunrise Sword. It does take a bit of progression to unlock, as you’ll need to reach Chapter 4 before you can get your hands on it. However, it’s worth the effort, as the sword’s Light of Dawn ability unleashes flames with every hit you manage to land on an enemy,
If that wasn’t enough, it also boosts your damage output. Setting your enemies on fire is an effective strategy since the effect will spread to nearby foes as well. This means you will be able to clear groups of enemies without breaking a sweat. Make sure to pair it with the right Skills for Emma, and you will be able to push the weapon’s potential to the next level.
