❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is Soul Manipulation worth using after the rework?
Absolutely. The rework addressed its biggest weakness — lack of AoE — by adding Soul Multiplicity and Polymorphic Soul Isomer. It is now a top-5 Special Grade for both PvE farming and PvP.
What is the best way to farm Domain Shards for Soul Manipulation?
Farm the Exchange Event boss on repeat with a macro. Each run has a ~2% Domain Shard drop rate. Alternatively, trade for them in the trading hub — Soul Manipulation mains often trade Domain Shards for Maximum Scrolls.
Can I trade Soul Manipulation innate?
No. Special Grade innates cannot be traded. You must spin for them on the gacha banner. Use rate-up events for better odds.
What items should I prioritize for Soul Manipulation?
Domain Shard (unlocks Self-Embodiment of Perfection), Maximum Scroll (unlocks Instant Spirit Body), Ring of Thorns (AoE boost), and Soul Robe (CE boost) in that order.
