Build Ocean's Descent quickly, and initiate Divine Favor once the enemy is weakened. Inside Divine Favor, spend Sea God Mark with charge attacks, use Ballad of Ebbs' active skill to create Lightning Crystals, dash through them to trigger Lightning Tide, and repeat this loop until Divine Favor ends.
What Rafayel Sea God is trying to do
Rafayel: Lemurian Sea God is a limited yellow solar myth pair who comes with the matching sword Ballad of Ebbs. The build is focused on dealing damage, especially area of effect and empowered bursts. Rafayel's damage scales primarily from defense (three times more than attack), so prioritizing defense in stats and gear is advised.

Ballad of Ebbs
Ballad of Ebbs is the matching weapon for Sea God and is described as a burst, single-target DPS sword. Its passive empowers the charge attack when Sea God Mark is active, increasing damage and restoring energy. The sword's active skill is a dash that makes Rafayel invincible during use and is required to create Lightning Crystals while in Divine Favor.

prerequisites
- Rafayel: Lemurian Sea God companion unlocked
- Ballad of Ebbs sword equipped for DPS burst synergy
Sea God Mark
Sea God Mark appears as a buff icon above the HP bar. Spending it with a charge attack makes the attack stronger and renders Rafayel unstoppable during the cast. The mark refreshes on its own or immediately when the active skill is used. Because the mark is central to damage and survivability, the loop in Divine Favor centers on consuming it with charge attacks and then refreshing it for the next burst.
Ripple Breath and Raging Tide
Ripple Breath and Raging Tide are two resource bars under the HP bar. Ripple Breath (left side) fills with basic and charge attacks, while Raging Tide (right side) fills from using support skills. Filling both sides as fast as possible enables Ocean's Descent, allowing the player to enter Divine Favor for the burst loop.

steps
- Use basic attacks and charge attacks to fill Ripple Breath (left bar).
- Use support skills to fill Raging Tide (right bar).
- Once both sides are full, Ocean's Descent is available; activate it to enter Divine Favor for maximum burst.
Divine Favor burst loop
Divine Favor is the empowered state entered via Ocean's Descent. The ideal loop is to burst the enemy after they are weakened (typically after breaking shields). Inside Divine Favor, the rotation is:
- Spend Sea God Mark with a charge attack.
- Use Ballad of Ebbs' active skill (dash) to create a Lightning Crystal.
- Dash through the crystal to trigger Lightning Tide, restore energy, and reduce cooldown.
- Repeat the charge attack and crystal creation, aiming for up to three crystal bursts before Divine Favor ends.

- Inside Divine Favor, perform a charge attack to consume Sea God Mark.
- Use the active skill to dash and create a Lightning Crystal.
- Dash through the crystal to trigger Lightning Tide, restore .3 energy, and reduce active cooldown.
- Repeat the sequence, aiming for three burst loops within Divine Favor's duration.
Raging Tide at battle start
A trick to start filling Raging Tide faster involves casting the support skill before the fight officially begins. Before crossing the blue line to initiate battle, use your support skill; it counts toward filling the Raging Tide bar. When you begin the fight, resonate and cast support again as soon as it is available, helping to unlock Ocean's Descent much sooner.

Protocore priorities
Protocore stat priority
Choose defense bonus first, as defense is the main scaling stat for Sea God. Attack bonus is still valuable if present. Damage to weakened is highly valued since Lightning Tide can extend weakened durations. Expedited energy boost is considered optional; prioritizing oath stats is recommended because Sea God build already provides strong energy regeneration.
Sea God ranks
| Rank | Passive Effect | Gameplay Change | Burst Power |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base (Solar pair) | Sea God Mark cooldown reduced by 8s on basic attack, Lightning Tide extends weakened | - | - |
| Rank 1 | Vortex CC during Divine Favor, random lightning strikes | Adds field control and extra AoE | Slight increase |
| Rank 2 | Sea God Mark damage boost up by 50%, 40% damage reduction in Divine Favor | Higher survivability, harder hits | Higher |
| Rank 3 | Active cooldown down by .5s in Divine Favor, Lightning Tide does 70% more damage | Faster loop, stronger burst | Much higher |
At each rank, Rafayel gains more passive field damage, control, and survivability. However, the basic loop and core rotation remain consistent across all ranks, emphasizing smooth play and empowering bursts.
