Oongka Beyblade Build

Added internal wikilinks
The "Beyblade" build is one of the most popular and visually distinctive Oongka builds in Crimson Desert. Named by the community for its resemblance to a spinning Beyblade top, this build transforms Oongka into a whirlwind of continuous damage using the Raging Lightning skill. When combined with the right Abyss Gears, the spinning attack becomes a self-sustaining damage engine that shreds through groups of enemies and holds its own against bosses.
The build's core strength is its simplicity and consistency. Once you activate the spin, you deal continuous damage to everything around you without needing to aim, time attacks, or manage complex rotations. The Abyss Gears amplify the spin's damage and solve its resource management challenges, creating a build that is both powerful and satisfying to play.
The community nickname comes from the visual similarity between Oongka's Raging Lightning spin attack and a Beyblade spinning top. When Oongka activates the skill, the character enters a continuous spinning animation with the weapon extended outward, hitting everything within reach. The spinning continues as long as you hold the ability and have the resources to sustain it, creating a constant whirlwind effect that looks remarkably like a Beyblade in action.
The name stuck because it perfectly captures both the visual appearance and the playstyle: you launch Oongka into a spin, and then the spin does all the work. Just like a Beyblade, once you get it going, you let it rip.
Raging Lightning is the foundation of this entire build. It is an Oongka-specific combat skill that creates a continuous spinning attack hitting all nearby enemies within the weapon's reach. The skill deals repeated damage ticks for as long as you sustain it, making it function more like a channeled ability than a traditional attack.
Each tick of the spin hits every enemy within range, making it extremely effective against groups. Against a single boss target, the repeated damage ticks add up to significant sustained DPS. The skill's damage scales with your weapon's base attack and your Armed Combat skill level, so higher weapon damage and deeper skill investment directly increase each tick's output.
Raging Lightning consumes resources as long as it is active. By default, this makes the skill limited in duration. However, specific Abyss Gear interactions change how the skill's resource cost works, which is what makes the Beyblade build viable as a sustained damage strategy rather than a short burst.
The Abyss Gear selection is what transforms Raging Lightning from a strong ability into a build-defining playstyle. Two gears form the core, with remaining slots used for damage amplification.
Hound's Claws is the single most important Abyss Gear for this build. When equipped, it causes your spinning attacks to deal additional damage per hit. The critical detail is that Hound's Claws does not consume Spirit. This changes the resource dynamic of Raging Lightning: instead of draining your Spirit bar, the build becomes stamina-dependent.
Without Hound's Claws, Raging Lightning would drain your Spirit bar in seconds, limiting the spin to short bursts. With Hound's Claws active, you can sustain the spin for much longer because your Spirit is no longer the bottleneck. Stamina becomes the limiting factor instead, and stamina is generally easier to manage through gear, food, and passive regeneration.
This gear turns the Beyblade build from a burst damage tool into a sustained damage machine. As long as you have stamina, you can keep spinning.
Relentless increases your damage with each consecutive hit. This gear is tailor-made for the Beyblade build because Raging Lightning generates an enormous number of consecutive hits in a short time. Each tick of the spin counts as a separate hit for Relentless stack purposes, so the damage bonus ramps up extremely quickly.
Against a group of enemies, the stacking is even faster because each spin tick hits multiple targets, and each hit adds a Relentless stack. Within a few seconds of spinning into a pack of enemies, your Relentless bonus reaches its cap, and every subsequent spin tick deals significantly amplified damage.
The synergy between Hound's Claws and Relentless is the heart of the Beyblade build. Hound's Claws lets you sustain the spin indefinitely. Relentless rewards you for sustaining it by ramping your damage higher and higher. The longer you spin, the harder you hit.
With two of your Abyss Gear slots occupied by Hound's Claws and Relentless, fill the remaining slots with damage amplification or survivability options:
Insight III: Increases Critical Rate. Each tick of the spin has its own independent crit check, so higher crit rate means more ticks dealing double damage. At high crit rates, the sustained DPS from the spin becomes extraordinary.
Destruction III: Flat Attack increase that scales every tick of the spin. A simple and universally effective damage boost.
Attack Speed gears: Increase the tick rate of the spin, resulting in more hits per second. More hits means faster Relentless stacking and more total damage per spin duration.
Stamina regeneration gears: Since the Beyblade build is stamina-dependent (thanks to Hound's Claws removing the Spirit cost), stamina regen gears extend the maximum spin duration. This is especially valuable in prolonged boss fights.
The Beyblade build works best with greathammers due to their wide swing radius and high base damage. Oongka's greathammer moveset naturally complements the spinning playstyle, and the reach ensures that the spin hits enemies at maximum range.
The Bonepit Greathammer is one of the top choices for this build. It has excellent base damage and superb reach, which translates directly into a larger effective spin radius. Enemies further from Oongka still get hit by each spin tick, making crowd clearing more efficient. The weapon's natural weight also gives each spin tick a satisfying impact.
The Ceremonial Warhammer is the other premier option. It shares the Bonepit Greathammer's reach advantage and offers comparable base damage. Some players prefer the Ceremonial Warhammer for its slightly different attack scaling, which may favor the spin's tick damage depending on your skill allocation. Either weapon is an excellent choice for this build.
For a broader look at Oongka's weapon options, see the Oongka Greathammer Build article, which covers general greathammer usage and skill tree priorities.
Oongka's skill tree should be allocated to maximize spin damage and survivability while maintaining the stamina pool needed to sustain extended spins.
Armed Combat (Level 5): Maximum investment in Armed Combat increases the base damage of every spin tick. This is the single most impactful skill investment for the build's overall DPS.
Spirit (Level 5): Even though Hound's Claws removes the Spirit cost of the spin, Spirit investment is still valuable for Oongka's other abilities and for situations where you need to use non-spin attacks. A full Spirit bar also provides a buffer for ability usage between spin sequences.
Health (Level 12): Heavy Health investment is essential for the Beyblade build because you are spinning in the middle of enemy groups. Unlike ranged builds that maintain distance, the Beyblade build puts you directly in harm's way. High Health ensures you can absorb hits while spinning without getting killed. Level 12 is recommended as the baseline for endgame boss fights.
The Health investment is particularly important because the spin animation limits your ability to dodge. While spinning, you cannot easily react to incoming attacks with evasive maneuvers. Instead, you tank through damage with your large Health pool and sustain through it with the spin's damage output. The goal is to kill enemies faster than they can kill you.
This is where the Beyblade build truly excels. Position Oongka in the center of an enemy group and activate Raging Lightning. The spin hits every enemy within reach on every tick. Relentless stacks build rapidly because each tick hits multiple targets, and within seconds your damage output is at maximum. Groups of standard enemies melt almost instantly.
When fighting large groups, try to gather enemies together before starting the spin. Run through the group to cluster them, then activate Raging Lightning once they are all within range. This maximizes the number of targets hit per tick and accelerates Relentless stacking.
The Beyblade build is effective against bosses, though less overwhelmingly dominant than against groups. Against a single target, Relentless stacks build more slowly because each tick only hits one enemy. However, the sustained damage output is still significant, and the build's simplicity means you can focus entirely on positioning and survival.
For boss fights, manage your stamina carefully. Spin for as long as your stamina allows, then disengage to let stamina regenerate before spinning again. Eat stamina-restoring food before the fight to extend your initial spin duration. The burst of damage during the spin phase is substantial, and even bosses with large health pools will feel the pressure.
There are situations where the Beyblade approach is not optimal. Enemies with powerful AoE attacks that you need to dodge will punish you while you are locked in the spin animation. Flying enemies that stay above your spin radius cannot be hit consistently. In these cases, switch to standard greathammer attacks or swap to a secondary weapon until conditions improve.
Exceptional crowd-clearing capability; the spin hits all enemies within reach on every tick
Relentless stacking provides rapidly escalating damage the longer you sustain the spin
Hound's Claws removes the Spirit cost, allowing extended spin durations limited only by stamina
Extremely simple to play: activate the spin and position yourself in the middle of enemies
High base damage from greathammers makes each spin tick hit hard even before Relentless ramps up
Satisfying visual and gameplay loop that the community has embraced with the "Beyblade" nickname
Locked into the spin animation, making it difficult to dodge telegraphed boss attacks
Stamina-dependent; running out of stamina forces you to stop spinning and wait for regeneration
Less effective against single targets where Relentless stacks build slowly
Flying or elevated enemies may be outside the spin's vertical reach
Health investment requirement (Level 12) means fewer skill points available for other areas
The build requires specific Abyss Gears (Hound's Claws and Relentless) that must be farmed through synthesis
The Beyblade build occupies a unique niche among Oongka's build options. Compared to the standard Oongka Greathammer Build, which focuses on heavy single hits and charged attacks, the Beyblade build trades burst damage for sustained output. The greathammer build hits harder per individual swing, but the Beyblade build deals more total damage over a prolonged engagement.
The Oongka Dual Wield Build offers faster attack speed and more mobility, but lacks the AoE coverage that makes the Beyblade build so effective against groups. Dual wield is stronger for single-target DPS against bosses that require frequent dodging, while the Beyblade excels in scenarios where you can stand your ground and spin.
For overall versatility, the Beyblade build is one of the strongest choices for players who enjoy Oongka's aggressive, tanky playstyle. It rewards positioning and commitment over precise timing, making it accessible to players of all skill levels while still scaling with gear investment at the endgame.
