11 This provisional Global PvE setup combines the Chanter's attack chains with party support. Practice the damage loop while keeping healing and defensive actions within reach. Add the suggested Stigmas as slots become available, adjusting the choices to the encounter.

33 Practice the attack loop
44  
55 Use Onslaught and its follow-ups to recover MP between attacks. Incandescent Blow spends MP and leads into Bursting Blow. If repeated attacks drain the resource, return to the recovery chain before committing to another sequence.
66  
77 Spinning Strike grants a critical-damage buff when it hits and opens Dark Crush. Impactful Crush also opens Dark Crush. Watch the follow-up prompt and use Dark Crush when available; another opening skill does not guarantee that the follow-up is ready. These ranged attacks let the Chanter keep contributing while repositioning.
88  
99 Use Gust Rampage when the target is staggered. Wave Blow requires a stunned target, so its ordinary control sequence should not be assumed to work against an immune boss.

1414 Recuperation supplies healing and debuff removal during the attack loop. Keep it manually accessible. Coordinate buffs with a Cleric: Undefeated Mantra's damage bonus does not stack with Light of Protection, and the Damage Tolerance reduction from Earth's Promise does not stack with Chain of Torment.

1818 For initial practice, concentrate improvements on the attack chain being repeated and the support skill the group needs. Recuperation specialties can add cleansing or extend healing; Onslaught can improve MP recovery. Inspect unlocked specialties before choosing between damage and sustain.

26+These are effective-level targets for one loadout example. Mastery skill points raise a skill to level 10; equipment, Arcana and the Daevanion Board supply additional levels. Keep the activation conditions and available specialty slots in the skill tables when choosing options.

30+Prepare both mantras, then use the ranged skills that open Dark Crush. Spinning Strike and Marchutan's Wrath are part of that plan; Impactful Crush and Ensnaring Mark are other triggers when chosen for the loadout. Use the Piercing Strike follow-up when its specialty is equipped, and return to the Onslaught chain when MP needs recovery.
31+ 
32+Cast Recuperation manually when the party needs healing or cleansing. Tremor Crush follows Dodge or flight, Heat Wave Blow normally answers a block, and Gust Rampage requires Stagger. Fracturing Blow can be replaced by Ensnaring Mark for more control or by Power of the Storm for a party speed and cooldown window; each replaces one selected Stigma.
33+ 
34+Attack supports both damage and the Attack-based Heal Boost from Blessing of Life. Combat Speed and critical performance help the attack window, but leave room for the survival and recovery needed to keep party support active.
