Notes

Precise Dagger is the standard option and cheapest to get.

For a replacement you choose between:

Raidcaptain Raid Captain-> It's the most expensive option and requires high uptime for ~1% damage gain if compared to the other options.

Hitmaster Hit Master-> Moderate cost, with the only downside being no effect on ultimate damage.

Stabilizedstatus Stabilized Status-> It's the cheapest option, but requires you to stay above 65% HP!

Etherpredator Ether Predator-> Only acceptable for progging at max rank! (This can also replace Cursed Doll instead)

Ability 232 Propulsion -> Not recommended! Unlike Raid Captain it doesn't provide any damage if spacebar is on cooldown. Use with caution!

Notes

Pet always Spec!

Depending on your Relic Books and overall party synergies, you should adjust your Critical Rate accordingly to maintain an average of ~95%!

Without Instant Spell, you may run into mana issues. It also provides a useful casting speed boost, so you should rarely remove it - only if you have mana food or Azenna’s Blessing active and another source of attack speed, you may consider it.
