Story
My memory is incomplete, so I cannot clearly grasp who you are.
Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name is Iota—the sole sun god of Neo Esseph, and the great automaton who rules over the vast Golden Desert in its entirety. Oh? You are wondering why I appear this way? To maintain Neo Eseph's ecosystem in a perfectly optimal state, I had no choice but to refine this body that had grown worn with time. Much like my people...
In any case, I warmly welcome your visit. I do hope you will leave your excellent genes widely spread across this land.

Skill Upgrade Priority
Skill up rule of thumb:
- Level 2 for Weakness Gauge damage
- Effect chance, effect duration & cooldown reductions.
- Damage increases (DPS only)
Chain passive can be left at level 2 until much later, the Weakness Gauge damage increase at level 5 is the only interesting part, so you can save skill manuals here until the more important skills are taken care of.
