Description

Unleashed Spirit is a supportive skill available as Soul Ascetic. It lends the power of the spirit of Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Red Phoenix, and Black Tortoise, to allow the player to freely cast Esma without using any other skill as its pre-cursor. The skill can only be used if the player has at least 2 spirit stacks. The duration of the buff increases based on the number of stacks when the skill is cast.

Number of Stacks	Duration
2	3 seconds
3	6 seconds
4	10 seconds

The current duration of this buff can be tripled if you hit a monster, which has 4 orb stacks applied to it, with Esma.

• This extension of the buff can only be done once while its active.

While the buff is active, the player cannot gain any new spirit stacks nor apply any orb stacks to monsters.

Gaining Spirit Stacks

To gain the spirit stacks, the player must use Esma, but with a specific pre-cursor skill in a specific order. Shortly explained, the rotation of skills is as follows:

• Estin/Estun -> Esma -> Estin/Estun (opposite from first used) -> Esma -> Espa -> Esma -> Eswhoo -> Esma

The longer explanation:

• Each time Esma is used as part of the rotation (followed by one of the applicable Es-skills), the player gains a spirit stack. The valid Es-skills are Estin, Estun, Espa, and Eswhoo.
• The first stack shows as the spirit of the Blue Dragon and can only be gained from either using Estin or Estun followed by Esma.
• The second stack adds the spirit of the White Tiger and is gained from using either Estin or Estun then followed by Esma. However, to gain this stack you need to use the opposite of the one you started with. So, if you started the roation with Estin -> Esma, the second stack is only obtainable using Estun -> Esma, and vice versa.
• The third stack adds the spirit of the Red Phoenix and is gained from using Espa followed by Esma.
• The fourth and last stack adds the spirit of the Black Tortoise and is gained from using Eswhoo followed by Esma.
• The stacks have a duration of 10 seconds, but is refreshed each time a new stack is gained. This does also mean that if you are at max stacks, you can no longer refresh the duration, thus you are forced to either consume or lose them.

Applying Orb Stacks

The orb stacks are applied to monsters and makes it possible to increase the duration of Unleashed Spirit. These are applied in a much simpler way, where you simply need to hit the monster with Esma. The stacks show as orbs floating above the monster, and they can have a maximum of 4 stacks, which is also what is required to triple the duration of Unleashed Spirit.
