Tips and Tricks for Soulstice

Break everything

If you see a box, crate, and crystal, break them to obtain Cobalt Crystals and Crimson Crystals. These are used in learning new skills and moves that you can purchase from the shop. Each zone has an abundant source of these breakable items. Make sure to explore the area fully to obtain all of the resources.

Proficiency

Each weapon in the game has different strengths and weaknesses. You can upgrade the strength of each weapon by leveling the Proficiency. For example, the weapon, Hand of Retribution is strong against armor but weak against ferocious enemies, and upgrading its Proficiency will allow you to deal more damage to armor.

Best Early Lute Skills

The best Lute skills to equip in the early game are Spiritual Expansion and Unflinching Resolve. Lutes have the Evocation field for attacking ethereal enemies and the Banishment field for attacking Possessed enemies. When you use these fields, Briar accumulates Entropy.

Once it reaches max, you overload and Lute is going to be disabled for a short time. Spiritual Expansion makes the field bigger; Unflinching Resolve decreases Entropy while defeating an enemy that is affected by a field.

Best Farming Spot

The best spot to farm Cobalt Crystals and Crimson Crystals are in Chapter 2 of Act 1 called the Echoes From the Past. It is easy to clear the area and it gives more Cobalt Crystals.

Health Pool and Entropy

Upgrade your max health pool by purchasing the Sturdy Husk Chunk in the shop. Also, minimize your Entropy by purchasing the Iridescent Ethereal Wave from the same shop. You can upgrade each of them to 11.

Unity Upgrades

You can do Synergy Attacks that deals a huge area of effect damage. You can use Synergy Attacks if you have enough Unity. Doing this also gives a better score. Additionally, you can get upgrades in Lutes Offense so that you do not need to have a high amount of Unity to perform a Synergy Attack.

An example of this is Deep Synergy, a skill that reduces the Ashen Vindicator’s Synergy Attack requirements.

Obtain Movesets

Obtain the Roaring Descent and Soaring Descent to do more combos.

Score Ratings

It can be hard to get a Diamond in the early stages so it’s advisable to focus on the main story first and acquire better weapons and skills, then go back to the previous chapters to have a Diamond score.

Learn the Unblinking Skill

Complete Challenges

In every chapter of any act, you can encounter challenges. You must always complete them as they reward you with shards and premium loot like a Sturdy Husk Chunk. Some challenges might be hard in the early game but you can still go back to it when you have better weapons and skills.
