FIST BUILD IS GOD MODE!

[SomeGuyOnPhone]

**Slight Spoiler Warning**

Hey everyone! For those who are looking to try a fist build in the game, I've got a setup that’s been incredibly effective, even against the most formidable "Unrivaled Masters," including the Shaolin Monk leader. I've been grinding a lot, and so far, I've only defeated the Tiangong Gang. This might still be early in the game, but I've been having a blast with sidequests and finding various cultivation methods. Here's a rundown of my build:

For my main weapon, I've chosen fists. You can find a great fist weapon (+150) from an NPC wandering in the south part of the world. If you spar with him and win, you'll get this weapon, which is a solid choice until you acquire better blueprints.

Here are my 4 main cultivation methods so far

I chose these four for specific reasons:

1. **Muscle Changing Scripture** (from the Shaolin monks): This one is super OP. It's like a stronger version of the Yoga Sutras, offering 35% health recovery and 8% HP and MP regeneration every turn for 4 turns. The game-changer here is Nirvana, which restores 35% of your health when near death, clears all negative buffs, and grants Vajira Protection for 3 turns, blocking any attacks per stack. What’s crazy about Nirvana is that it remains as a permanent buff until triggered, meaning you only need to cast Muscle Changing Scripture once in a battle, and Nirvana will continue to protect you in subsequent battles until it activates. This allows you to focus on other abilities while still having Nirvana ready.

2. **Five Immortal Mental Sutra**: This is part of the main quest. It's great for stats, so just keep it.

3. **Golden Bell Cocoon**: At the start of any battle, it grants 2 stacks of HP shield, which blocks attacks equal to 10% of your health. When your health is over 9000, it effectively stops many attacks. I don’t activate this often, but it's excellent for blocking initial attacks in single combat.

4. **Infinite Four Symbols**: This outperforms the Zen Demon Subduing ability in my tests. While the latter gives you a 25% boost in attack and defense for 4 turns, plus 20 attack stats, Infinite Four Symbols offers better damage output overall. It grants 4 stacks of Limitless, enhancing your attack output by 25% x 4 for any ability, and these stacks don’t expire after just 4 turns. Additionally, when hit by critical attacks, it triggers Limitless Damage, taking away 5% of the enemy’s health.

For Unique Moves, the most crucial one is the Prajina Vajirapani Palms, which gives you 2 stacks of Vajira defense, essentially making you invincible for 2 attacks.

Many of these abilities are gained from the Shaolin monks. To fight them effectively, I suggest getting the Yoga Sutra from the precede to keep yourself alive. Overall, I love this build and have been able to solo almost everything with it.
