Star Emperors excel at dealing massive damage in short periods of time, amplified in parties. Damage dealt can vary and partying up in large parties is recommended for maximum damage from the passive Taekwon skill,. This class is mostly self sufficient and can survive solo with proper gears.

It is imperative that players understand how the Taekwon Kid and Star Gladiator classes work to understand the damage potential of a Star Emperor as Taekwon Kid's and various Star Gladiator skills directly affect the damage potential.

[[File:Board.png]] Mastering Star Gladiator Skills
In order to maximize your DPS as a Star Emperor, It is imperative that you master Star Gladiator skills to see where your true power comes from. There is a hidden passive Star Gladiator skill that must be considered when fighting mobs as well as a second CRIT enabling skill and I'll go into more detail below about them for Star Emperor.

The Power of for Star Emperor: This is a special passive Star Gladiator skill that can activate by low chance with every attack (0.02%) on any map, with or without having memorized the map with. The effect lasts for one hour and disappears if the player switches maps. Despite having a low chance to activate, it can proc often and can last more than 1 hour if you happen to proc it while already proc'd (the timer resets). But like all things Ragnarok, it's RNG based, so there is also a chance it could take a very long time to proc.

The easiest way to activate Miracle is to use, or  on a mob along with a warm wind element that deals the least amount of damage to the monster, allowing you to constantly hit the mob when pushed against a wall until it procs. You can use as well to add more chances to proc it. Miracle is incredibly powerful and is highly recommended to activate. You will notice a significant damage increase when it procs as once activated.

When Miracle triggers, your screen will dim as if you've been given a Soul Link.

While under the effects of Miracle:   All maps will be considered aligned with the cosmic bodies, allowing usage of, and  on your current map  All calendar bound skills will be usable, allowing activation and use of, and   All monsters will be considered Cosmically aligned, making them all affected by, and  All Blessings will be aligned with the cosmic bodies, making, and  skills become active

SLS Wrath and SLS Blessing activation from Miracle will only be enabled if you have mastered the skill. If you're under Miracle, and you don't have skill points in SLS Wrath and SLS Blessings, then Miracle won't give you extra damage from SLS Wrath nor will it give extra experience from SLS Blessings

Officially, Miracle has no status icon, but private servers may have implemented an icon showing Miracle is in effect:

Some private servers will use the Soul Link icon: NovaRO uses this custom made icon for Miracle:

The Power of for Star Emperor: This is a special skill that is only usable when given the. When under the effects of, you awaken your hidden potential for 10 minutes and are endowed with attacks that have 100% Accuracy, will ignore enemy's defense, increase movement speed and enable critical hits to all types of attacks. However, 2% of caster's HP will be drained with each attack on monsters and 8% will be drained with each attack on other players. When in this status, attacking when your remaining HP is less than 20% of your Max HP will instantly kill you.

This skill will enable all SE skills to CRIT.

[[File:lvlup.png]] Leveling Guide
Leveling up once a Star Emperor can be a challenge in early stages as you need at least 6 skill points before you can use any cosmic line skills that deal damage. It is highly recommended to level using the Lunar cosmic line of skills. in particular deals 700% attack compared to (100%) and  (200%) at L1. Leveling up will be easier or harder depending on your server's features. Servers with Eden Group, Bounty Boards, skill/stat resetter, a healer and warper make leveling much easier than those without. General Moon strategy is to gather mobs, then drop and  on the mobs. Should stat resets be cheap and easy to obtain, focus on STR/VIT/DEX or LUK. The fixed cast time of can only be reduced by sacrament or fixed cast reduction items. If your server has Eden Group and/or Bounty Boards, use the boards/quests available combined with Field/Job Manuals to maximize exp gained on turn in (should such manuals exist in your server). In NovaRO, partying up in Eden Group and joining 'Gramps' parties is the most efficient way to level as it takes advantage of 's party bonus. There is a 4 hour cooldown before you can redo Gramps hunting parties of the same bounty board level range. It is advisable to do non-Gramps bounty board quests in-between or combine & time your bounty turn-ins with Field/Job Manuals to push you to the next Gramps level range. Don't forget to use your Star Gladiator passive skills to boost damage ! General Leveling areas:
 * Level 130 and below: Illusion of Vampire, Illusion of Moonlight, Illusion of Frozen
 * Level 150~160: Illusion of Underwater 1, Illusion of Frozen, Illusion of Teddy Bear
 * Level 160~175: Illusion of Luanda, Illusion of Abyss, Illusion of Underwater 1
 * Level 175~185: Illusion of Labrynth, Abyss Glast Heim, Tomb of the Fallen
 * Level 185~200: Einbech Dungeon 3, Illusion of Underwater 2, Abyss Lake 4 and Odin's Past/Temple 4

[[File:pvm.png]] PVM Builds
These builds listed below are recommended for solo or group outings. Adjust as necessary. Please keep in mind that I am only giving a stat range to start with. What stats you end up with depend on your personal preference and the gears you choose to equip.

There is one gear item that must be weighed in all builds though, as changing or ignoring this item has a big impact on your DPS:

The Importance of Temporal Boots: Of all armor options you can choose to use to boost DPS on a Star Emperor, none is more important than enchanted. and in particular add a significant boost to DEX and LUK respectively (+200) when proc'd which significantly increases wrath damage. adds a significant STR increase, increasing damage albeit with an animation that lowers DPS. This must be considered when you choose to wear armor combos that include footgear. Are you willing to give up Temporal Boot enchants ? Does the armor combo that you want to use provide such a damage increase that it negates the usage of Temporal Boots? Currently, Temporal boots are top tier footgear for Star Emperor.

[[File:2591.png]] Solar DPS
is the most in-demand and most powerful build for PvM. It can be spammed faster than, has more consistent damage than , and has the highest ATK % at L10-but it has a high sp cost comparatively. The Level 185 update increased to a bonkers 3200% ATK, making it the strongest and most efficient build prior to Episode 17.2 w/Old Glast Heim Challenge Mode. The goal is to alternate spam between and  as fast as possible. High STR and balanced DEX/LUK are where you want to place your stats. is highly dependent on skill delay reduction gears for faster spam. Your options are either: ATK gears, after cast delay reduction gears or a hybrid of both. gears are some of the most expensive gears you can find in the game; it's highly recommended to start your journey in a Lunar build to level up, then, progress to a Stellar build to finance your way to a Solar Build.

If you play on NovaRO, the server's custom Turbo options are required to spam effectively with, so you need to ensure it is Enabled. In other servers, you can effectively use 3rd party macro options as well to automate spam, unless your server has Gepard Shield, which then you are screwed and must learn to manually time  based on your after-cast delay. This is currently the strongest PvM build on NovaRO at the moment, even after the 17.2 card set release.

Stats
Spamming Prominence Kick and Solar burst at a marginally decent ASPD with 72% after-cast delay and ATK% based equipment is the goal of this build. It is possible to build your SE with lower after-cast delay, substituting more ATK%, Melee% and racial or size mods in exchange for a slower spam with higher damage output. A balance of LUK/DEX will help increase Wrath damage. 120 STR is needed for ATK boost. Get between 60 - 90 AGI to reach 193 ASPD. Feel free to adjust stats depending on your gear. AGI, VIT and INT can be tweaked to your liking, but Keep STR at 120. Increasing INT will help slightly reduce the pain of quick SP drain. You can reduce LUK and increase DEX to increase spammability at a higher cost of stat points. Hawkeye enchanted will help increase Prominence/Solar spam when proc'd.
 * STR 120
 * AGI 60-80
 * VIT 90-100+
 * INT 1-60
 * DEX 90-100+
 * LUK 90-100+

So what's the perfect equipment setup for a SE?: To be brutally honest, there isn't one. Some equipment combinations complement better. Your mileage may vary depending on whether you plan to utilize Union or not and where you place your focus with ATK%, CRIT damage % or Melee %.

[[File:2575.png]] Lunar DPS
Lunar DPS types are built around the usage of, and Star Gladiator skills. This build will rely on your ability to withstand hits during cast time (or avoid altogether) to deal damage. This is the best build to level up and/or farm certain mobs with as it doesn't require the most expensive gears to deal mid tier damage. STR/DEX/LUK are the most important stats for attack power and ATK % or flat ATK boosting items are best to increase dps.

Stats

 * STR 120-130
 * AGI 1
 * VIT 90-100
 * INT 50-70
 * DEX 120
 * LUK 90-100+

has a really bad fixed cast time, so you need to use with 120 DEX to help reduce that fixed cast. What this means is that even with instacast/100% variable cast reduction, you will still have a cast for that can only be reduced by fixed cast reduction items like,  with Fixed Casting,  and the AB skill Sacrament. Keep in mind that you cannot stack fixed cast time percent items, the highest cast reduction item will take precedence. You can stack flat fixed cast time reduction, however. LUK is used to boost Solar, Lunar and Stellar Wrath damage. General Moon strategy is to gather mobs, then drop New Moon and Full Moon kicks on the mobs. Be sure to take advantage of the fixed cast by casting New Moon a few cells away from your mobs to allow you to avoid getting hit before the skill goes off. In parties, ensure your AB is keeping Sacrament up to further reduce the New Moon fixed cast time. Get 120 STR if you plan to use.

[[File:2578.png]] Stellar DPS
These Stellar builds focus on ASPD and ATK, boosting damage and optionally CRIT. Most of the DPS from this cosmic line comes from.

Stellar ATK-ASPD based stats
This build is based on STR and ASPD for Damage. Stacking ASPD % to get to 193 ASPD seems to be the best for SE as Star Gladiator's skill already has an 11% ASPD boost at max lvl (Stacks with ASPD % gear). CRIT rate 100 isn't truly necessary, but a CRIT rate of 100 boosts skill min/max damage, ensuring damage remains on the high end of the damage swing. Most of your DPS comes from so sacrificing ATK or ASPD for CRIT isn't wise. Do not bother with any autocast gears as duration is very short and a spell autocast can add nasty skill delay, slowing down your ability to  again. There are only a few autocast items that work well and don't add any skill delay, but you're better off adding ATK % or ASPD % instead. I do, however, recommend using an  or two if you decide to use CRIT in your build as Ignition break damage is really good. Feel free to reduce VIT and increase DEX and/or LUK for more wrath damage.
 * STR 120
 * AGI 80-90
 * VIT 90-100
 * INT 1
 * DEX 90-106
 * LUK 87-106

Stellar CRIT-ASPD based stats

 * STR 120
 * AGI 90-100
 * VIT 90-100
 * INT 1
 * DEX 90-110
 * LUK 120

This build is based on STR, ASPD and CRIT for and CRIT Damage. Stacking ASPD % to get to 193 ASPD is the best for SE as Star Gladiator's skill already has an 11% ASPD boost at max lvl (Stacks with ASPD % gear). CRIT rate 150 should also be the goal, but know that CRIT damage or rate will not increase damage but will increase Auto-attack CRIT damage and Ignition Break damage of which you should definitely be using  for. Do not bother with any other autocast gears as duration is very short and a spell autocast can add nasty skill delay, slowing down your ability to  again. There are only a few autocast items that work well and don't add any skill delay, but you're better off adding ATK % or ASPD % instead. Feel free to reduce VIT and increase DEX and/or LUK for more wrath damage.

[[File:bookd.png]] Equipment List
These are the gear options you can consider to use as Star Emperor, depending on your build and/or budget. Icon Key:

Useful for Solar Builds Useful for Lunar Builds Useful for Stellar Builds Useful for Universe Builds

If you plan to roll a Solar, Lunar or Stellar build for PvP purposes, then each respective equipment item is automatically useful for Universe builds, whether or not it shows a Universe icon.

Just a friendly note about books. Unlike other classes, If you want to deal the maximum DPS, you really need to invest in a library of different books. The closest you're going to get to Best-in-Slot, 'one book to rule them all' is with a  +11 enchanted  for. The combined skill mod of those two should be the strongest.
