Mystrix Best Build Guide | Crystal of Atlan

In Crystal of Atlan, Mystrix stands out as one of the most versatile and high-tempo classes available. With access to four unique weapon forms—Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Motorbike, and Floating Cannon—Mystrix thrives on rapid stance-switching and maintaining Gunfire Bloom for explosive bursts of damage.

This guide, brought to you by LDShop, breaks down the best gear, accessories, skill rotations, and stat priorities to help you unlock Mystrix's full potential, especially in long-form boss encounters and damage-check phases. Whether you're a new player seeking direction or a veteran optimizing for peak DPS, this build will elevate your performance to elite levels.

Overview: Understanding Mystrix

Mystrix is a dynamic, stance-switching class that embodies versatility and high burst potential through four weapon forms:

• Shotgun: Provides shielding and bonus damage, especially suitable for short-range engagements and survivability during burst phases.
• Sniper Rifle: Grants 4 stacks of Gunfire Energy on use, helping you ramp up quickly into your empowered state.
• Motorbike: Delivers rapid hits and extra damage, good for combo chaining and engaging mobile targets.
• Floating Cannon: Like Motorbike, offers multi-hit output and bonus damage, making it ideal for AoE or sustained DPS phases.

Core Mechanic – Gunfire Bloom

• The identity of Mystrix revolves around Gunfire Energy (Gunfire Bloom):
• Gain stacks (up to 20) by using weapon skills.
• At 10 stacks or more, Gunfire Bloom automatically activates, reducing cooldowns of skills by up to 3 seconds and granting a strong damage boost.
• Repeating the same weapon type reduces gained energy by 2, so weapon-switching is key to ramp efficiently.

This build maximizes Gunfire Bloom uptime and capitalizes on high-crit, fast-cycling rotations using skills with strong elemental damage scaling and combo potential.

[Obsession Vow]
Increase DMG by 1.2% for every 10 combos, up to 12%.

King's Cavalry (Gloves)

[Distant Oath]
DMG Increases with distance from the target.
Within 5M : DMG +4%
Every additional 5M, increase DMG by 2%, up to 10%.

King's Cavalry (Shoes)

[Chariot March]
After landing 5 consecutive basic attacks, the next Skill's DMG multiplier increases to 110%.
This effect last for 8s or until a skill is cast. Cannot gain the [Chariot March] effect again for 12s after effect ends, but retain the [Chariot March] mark.

Why King’s Cavalry Works

Mystrix’s weapon‑rotation gameplay revolves around stacking Gunfire Bloom by switching between forms. King’s Cavalry’s Obsession Vow chest piece grants up to +12% damage based on combo hits, perfectly matching this rapid rotation, high-frequency combos and quick weapon changes

Additionally, Distant Oath on gloves boosts damage by up to +10% at range—perfect for Sniper Rifle or Floating Cannon playstyles. Chariot March shoes synergize with basic attacks to further empower skills. Lastly, the 3-piece Penalty of the Oath triggers reliably using Electro damage, rewarding consistent pressure with bonus burst damage.

Mighty Chariot (Helmet)

[Chariot Banner]
After casting a Finisher, gain [Chariot Banner], increasing Skill DMG by 12% for 8s.
After the effect expire, gain [Chariot Banner] mark until the next [Chariot Banner] is gained.

Might Chariot (Pants)

[Chariot Charge]
After casting any active skills, gain 10% Physical and Magical PEN for 8s.
Cannot gain the [Chariot Charge] effect again for 12s after effect ends, but retain the [Chariot Charge] mark.

Why Mighty Chariot Helmet + Pants Work

The Chariot Banner helmet gives +12% skill damage for 8 seconds post-Finisher. Mystrix naturally uses Finishers often, keeping this buff nearly permanent and enhancing burst potential .

Meanwhile, Chariot Charge pants offer 10% physical and magical penetration after any skill cast. With frequent skill usage this buff has excellent uptime, enhancing overall damage against resistant targets. Together, they reinforce Mystrix’s high-tempo rotations and help maintain higher DPS phases throughout engagements.

 

Accessory Choices

Decay Set (Necklace)

[Soul-shattering Armor]
Give enemies within 50 meters, a [Red Soul] mark. Whenever the enemy unit is attacked, there is 20% chance to drop a [Red Sou]l. When the enemy unit dies, it will drop 2 [Red Soul]. The player can absorb the dropped [Red Soul] and gain 0.4% DMG increase and 0.2% DMG RES per stacks up to 10 stacks, for 20 seconds.

Decay Set (Ring)

[Disaster Crystal Worm]
Every time critical hit landed, Summon [Disaster Crystal Worm] (5 seconds cooldown). The worm will automatically find nearest target and self-destruct, causing 1800% DMG. The worm is considered friendly unit and can trigger [Cyan Soul] drops.

Famine Set (Bracer)

When 4 or more skills are on cooldown, the player will enter [Hungry] state.

[Frenzy of Gluttony]
When in [Hungry] state, increase DMG during Resonance by 10%.
When using Resonance during [Hungry] state, All-attribute +20, lasting 15 seconds.

Why They Fit

The Decay necklace passively generates Red Soul stacks as you deal Electro damage. Absorbing these stacks grants scaling damage and resistance bonuses over time—ideal for longer boss phases.

Meanwhile, the Disaster Crystal Worm ring auto-summons damage bombs on crit hits, offering passive AoE damage with no input required. It serves as a reliable source of extra DPS, freeing you to focus on rotation execution rather than manual triggers.

Famine Bracer’s buff window scales with Mystrix’s playstyle: frequent skill use puts abilities on cooldown, triggering Hungry naturally, which enhances both burst and sustained output during idle or reset phases.

 

Seal & Talisman

Apocalypse (Seal)

[Grace of Mercy]
Every 20 seconds, gain [Super Armor] effect, which will be removed after being hit 5 times.

War Madness (Talisman)

[Scar]
When using finisher skill, Resonance, or Pet Skill, gain 5,3, or 2 layer of [Scar] respectively. Each stack increase all-attribute +3, with maximum stacks of 10, which last 25 seconds.
When you have 10 stacks of [Scar], will summon [War Frenzy Spear] (Shoot 3 spear, each deal 400% DMG, and cause target to [Bleed], taking 100% DMG per second for 10 seconds. [Bleed] cannot stacks and can only refresh duration) every 15 seconds.

Why They Fit

The Apocalypse seal’s Grace of Mercy gives Super Armor every 20 seconds for a small window—perfect for letting Mystrix flow through combos uninterrupted, especially in hectic battle conditions .

War Madness talisman synergizes with Mystrix’s natural rotation, making it a seamless source of burst and bleed pressure. This adds automated burst that doesn’t require tracking, reinforcing Mystrix's passive DPS and pressure potential.

 

Skill Build & Rotation

Core Skill Structure

Finishers:

Polyphony - Eternal Joy

Aria - Stellar Frenzy

Skill Combos:

• Slot 1: Phase Waltz + Tidetrace Radius
• Slot 2: Voltfire Dance + Merciful Torture
• Slot 3: Sonata of Causality + Symphony of Fate
• Slot 4: Nightlight Concerto + Curtain Call is Not the End

（When Weapon Charge is at 10 stacks and above, Gunfire Bloom is automatically activated along with Voltfire Dace）

Sample Rotation

• Phase Waltz → Tidetrace Radius → Voltfire Dance → Merciful Torture → Gunfire Bloom
• Sonata of Causality → Symphony of Fate → Gunfire Bloom
• Nightlight Concerto → Curtain Call is Not the End Polyphony → Eternal Joy →Gunfire Bloom → Aria - Stellar Frenzy

Why This Works

This rotation focuses on cycling through skill groups efficiently while making full use of Gunfire Bloom’s cooldown reduction and damage buff.

The Finisher chain (Polyphony → Eternal Joy → Gunfire Bloom → Aria - Stellar Frenzy) is the burst climax. With buffs from Chariot Banner, War Madness, and Red Soul stacked, this part of the rotation can delete bosses or push through critical phases. Gunfire Bloom triggers interwoven through the cycle keep your cooldowns rolling, allowing for a flexible and responsive tempo.

This structure also encourages weapon type switching, preventing the Gunfire Energy penalty and ensuring your build operates at peak efficiency.

 

Important Stat Priorities

CRIT DMG ＞ CRIT Rate ＞ Electro Element Enhanced

Mystrix has many multi-hit and AoE skills that naturally generate Crit triggers. Prioritizing Crit DMG ensures each crit is worth more. Boost Crit Rate only to maintain a comfortable 60–70% uptime.

Besides, as several core skills deal Electro elemental damage, increasing Electro ENH directly improves your elemental burst potential and Penalty of the Oath scaling.

 

Circuit

Use circuits to fill gaps in CRIT DMG, CRIT Rate, and Electro Element Enhanced based on your current equipment.
