Soul Knight – Great Commander Mode Guide with Tips

Effective Guide to Great Commander Mode

By Gemini.

Commander Skills

I tried all skills and I can conclude that they are very well balanced and hard to compare (excepts Adrenaline, worse Brute Force). But if you are lazy, you can always pick Red Packet (gambling).

Performers & Synergies

Here’s a quick tier list from best to worst Skinline Synergies:

Ancient Legends> Celestial or Bestial > War of Warlords >Brilliant Civilizations.

Summary:

  • Ancient Legends: Knight has very high DPS and can scale very good in late games. Elf, Alchemist and Druid have good skill DpS and crowd control. Synergies effects are good too.
  • Celestial or Bestial: Paladin can survive the longest and protect your team from bullet hell (mostly in diff 3~4), Witch may have high damage but can get “squishy”, Rogue and Assassin have high mobility but can be hard to upgrade both, Miner deals very good skill dmg.
  • War of Warlords: Vampire and Sword Master are nothing too special, Lancer has very good skill DpS and mobility for its rarity, Berserker can be your main damage source depends on how you build your team, Necromancer is the strongest Epic performer with fat and big AoE range and damage. Synergies effects are well-balanced.
  • Brilliant Civilizations: don’t use this, Robot is very bad, Priestess is ok support, Werewolf’s close-up playstyle is not worth it, Taoist is not bad but the other 2 Orange performers do the job better than him. The Synergies effects are terrible (forces you to lose just for pitiful rewards).

Weapons

All the weapons you can buy from the market:

  • ⚪ – Green Essence, Retouch-Free Camera.
  • 🟢 – Grenade Pistol, Guardian Rifle, Shotgun Galaxy, Sidewinder Green, Chu Ko Nu, Green Basin,…
  • 🔵 – BlowPipe, Cherry Blossom, Salamander, Webber, Splash Railgun, Jade Bow, 40m Long Blade, Giant Axe, Glacier, Plunger, Octopus,…
  • 🟣 – Firebolt, Bubble Gun, Aurora, Toxic Webber, Knight Spear, Hammerhead Shark, Face-Sized Momiji, Deadly Frisbee, Electric Ninja Stars, Verbal Fire, Flame Axe,…
  • 🟠 – Zeus Thunderbolt, Ranger’s Revolver, Meteo Laser Gun, Frontier Crossbow, Shuddering Thunder, Star Bow,…

The Recommended weapons of each tier:

  • ⚪ – Green Essence: to replace bad starter weapons such as Sacred Flail,…
  • 🟢 – Chu Ko Nu: deals very good single-target damage in early game and can be easily found too.
  • 🔵 – Jade Bow: same as Chu Ko Nu.
  • Splash Railgun: good crowd-control.
  • 🟣 – Electric Ninja Stars: same as Splash Railgun.
  • 🟠 – Shuddering Thunder: Good single-target and crowd-control weapon.
  • Fist of Heaven: Very OP, can turn your weakest performer into a beast.

The Unrecommended weapons of each tier:

  • ⚪ – Retouch-Free Camera: Deals very bad damage, your starter weapons would perform way better.
  • 🟢 – Green Basin: Bad chip damage, the AoE effect can be rarely activated as enemies are often killed before reaching 7 stacks, worse than starter weapons.
  • 🔵 – Plunger: perform worse than most green weapons, does’nt have great single-target damage as intended.
  • 🟣 – Flame Axe: Most of the time it can only swing and does’nt shoot any projectiles?
  • 🟠 – Frontier Crossbow: Only the arrows are good and the charged attack barely does any damage.
  • Zeus Thunderbolt: same as Flame Axe, most of the time it can only thrust.

Buffs

Most buffs here can be given to any performers. Each performer can have up to 3 buffs. But buffs like Combo-Hit and Shotgun should be given to the performers with the right proficiency.

As for exclusive buffs:

  • Into The Fray: for performers with close-up playstyle and high mobility.
  • Laser Rain: for performers with high skill DpS.
  • Homing Missile & Life Leech: for performers with fast attacking weapons.
  • Unfalling Defense: forany performers you want, mostly those who often die first in battle.

Drinks

Do not overfeed any performers, feed them equally. Drinks like Bloody Mary, Grilled Steak and Coffee should be mainly given to Weapon-dependence performers like Knight or Berserker. Dragon Beard Noodles should be mainly given to skill DpS performers.

Sweet Dumplings are very bad drinks, the increased bullet size is’nt much and it’s better to spend your 2 gold bars for other useful stuffs. Give at least 1 clam to each of your performers if possible.

Boss Fights

Keep your performers’ health high enough for the Boss Fights at the end of level 5/10/15. Don’t underestimate them, especially TV Tyrant because if you lose to him, you lose all your Popularity Points.

Also try to speedrun the enemy wave here because it’s often possible that you run out of time before killing the bosses).

Gather or Action

Always gather your performers and move in a circle near the edge of the map. Do not let them go on their own as it’s very dangerous and risky. It is not recommended to even if you’re building a team of melee attackers (not ideal anyways).

General Tips

Sell unused performers, weapons, drinks and buffs. Selling a performer will return all their equiped tools so you don’t need to worry. Keep only 6 weapons in total, sell bad/low rarity weapons. Keep only 18 buffs, sell unimportant buffs.

Upgrade your Market regularly for better drops. Buy one performer and use the other 2 gold bars for an upgrade can offer you a great start.

I hope the above information was helpful. Happy gaming!
