Magician Path: 200% Crit Bleed

🧙

Magician Path

Virtual Realm path that converts Crit damage to Bleed (DOT)

200% Crit Bleed

All critical hits convert to Bleed DOT at 200% damage

1

Damage Conversion

All critical hits are converted to Bleed (DOT) damage at 200% effectiveness

2

Astral Synergy

Since Bleed is DOT, it stacks with Astral trait instead of refreshing

3

Full AOE Immunity

Choosing Magician path grants immunity to negative AOE card penalties

Full AOE Immunity

Choosing Magician path makes you immune to negative AOE card penalties. This is huge in Virtual Realm where bad cards can ruin runs.

Optimal Stats: 70 CD / 29 Damage

70 Cooldown / 29 Damage

Lower cooldown = faster attacks = more DOT stacks with Astral. Damage secondary.

Best Equipment

Master Ninja Hat

CORE

👕

Junior Ninja Jacket

BiS

+120% Crit Damage, +5% DOT Damage, +5% Base Damage

Best in slot for Kyito. Insane crit scaling.

👖

Junior Ninja Pants

GOOD

+60% Damage

Solid damage boost. Complete the Junior set.

Miku Mode Switching

Virtual Idol (Miku) has two buff modes. Knowing when to switch is crucial for optimal DPS.

🎯

Range Mode

Increases attack range for all buffed units

Use when: Units are spread out or need to hit farther targets

⚔️

Damage Mode

Increases damage dealt by all buffed units

Use when: Units are positioned and you want maximum DPS

💡 Tip: In Virtual Realm, start with Range mode during positioning phase, then switch to Damage mode once your team is set up (usually by wave 10-15).

Important Notes

  • Astral is superior to Duelist for sustained fights, but Duelist is still T0 and easier to obtain.
  • Magician path is mandatory for the DOT build. Other paths won't convert Crit to Bleed.
  • E6 is recommended for maximum DOT coefficient (60% → 100%), but E4 is viable.
  • This build needs ramp-up time. For short fights, Duelist burst may be better.
