Attunement-less

Attunement-less icon

Attunement-less mantras, or Physical mantras consist of mantras that are chosen based on your attributes, similar to Talents, rather than your attunements.

NOTE: Attunement-less mantras are rarer if you have an attunement and depend on how much you have in said stat opposed to your attunement.

Description

You don't have an attunement, instead relying on your physical and mental abilities to give yourself an edge in battle.

Most of your mantras focuses on your physical and mental capabilities instead of a specific element, allowing you to achieve incredible feats by your utilizing body alone, whether if it's utilizing your raw strength combined with the Song to punch down trees and enemies alike, moving at a faster rate than usual or predicting attacks with your intelligence alone, just to name a few. Although Attunement-less sounds horrible on paper, it is, in reality, just as viable and completely usable as having an Attunement.

In spite of its shortcomings, the potential of Attunement-less is nothing to scoff at, as stat points normally allocated to Attunements can instead be used to obtain Talents, as well making obtaining high investment Talents more worthwhile should a powerful combat mantra scale off the same points.

Attribute Mantras

• These mantras are based on your attributes, not your attunements.
• Their damage/efficiency scales with the attribute's level.
• Although the mantras have nothing to do with attunements, having an attunement can sometimes make certain attunementless mantras have higher obtainment requirements (e.g; Glare). Source: Arch_Mage and tester(s)
• (Side Note: Do not confuse upgrading mantras with trainers as using modifiers.)

Strength Mantras

Upgrading Mantras

The Attunement-less mantra trainer Regek can be found at Greathive Aratel in the Archives area. To allow the user to upgrade their mantras here, the player must complete a quest for the trainer by collecting sap from 3 Soulblooms. (You need to have washed your face at the Lightkeeper's Temple to activate the quest.)(Trainer is located from a path called "Archives" from the root plaza.) Alternatively, you can use the Songwright in the guild base (if you hired him already)

Otherwise, you can use the Mantra Trainer in the guildbase without having to do a quest.

• All of the Soulblooms can be found at the top of the tree, in Canopy Plaza.
• 2 of them are located in the Blacksmith's area.
• 1 is located outside of the Observatory.

Once completed, the user can upgrade their attunement-less mantras by speaking to the trainer and paying an increasing sum of notes for each mantra level. NOTE:

• Upgrading your mantras at this trainer depends on the type of mantra you wish to upgrade and the number of points you have in the respective attribute!

For example:

1. 20+ points in Strength => Level 2 Strength Mantra.
2. 40+ points in Strength => Level 3 Strength Mantra.
3. 60+ points in Strength => Level 4 Strength Mantra.
4. 80+ points in Strength => Level 5 Strength Mantra.

In short: Every 20 points in a specific attribute will unlock the next level for said mantras in that attribute, maybe use this information to wisely diversify your stats more. Keep in mind that mantras are capped at level 5 and increasing an attribute to 100 will grant you no benefit with its mantras aside from a bit of damage scaling.

Tips

• You can increase the distance travelled of dashes with Drift Shard and Rush Shards, although this does not work with Strong Leap, this makes the spell a little too costly, a Blue Gem will help with this though.
• Although many attunement-less mantras have relatively low requirements, it’s highly recommended to spec into those stats.
• You can't increase the duration of Charisma mantras with Aeon and Eternal Logstones; neither with some other mantras like Adrenaline Rush, Brace or Reinforce.
• Considering that the majority of players choose air stabbing as a way of closing distance, disabling it with Taunt will mess up their playstyle somewhat or even entirely.
• Charisma mantras are a very good choice for gunslinger related builds considering your enemy will resort to a "hit n'run" playstyle in order to defeat you.
• Most Attunement-less mantras serve as utility in order to assist you in either combat or general survival.
• Although Reinforce is a little costly for a mantra, a Blue Gem can reduce it to around 50 ether, which can help with ether cost.
• Strong Left is best used during a parry trade in order to be as close as possible to your opponent due to its lackluster range but incredibly high damage and short wind-up.
• Rapid Punches has a short dash and should be used when doing a combo. Keep in mind that if the punches are parried, they will not be cancelled, but the opponent is able to hit you while the barrage is still active. Highly suggested you cancel the mantra after around 5 hits to avoid giving your opponent a free m1 on you.

Trivia

• The majority of mantra modifiers have gotten their functionality removed from Attunement-less mantras, along with the general "mantra modification mini-overhaul" due to their incredible power with Physical Mantras.
  • Cloud/Stratus stone increased the hitboxes of moves so much, most of the time you wouldn't even have to look at the enemy.
  • Before it was nerfed, Revenge would always teleport you forward regardless of whether the mantra landed or not. Allowing for easy escapes when upgraded with shard modifiers.
  • Aeon/Eternal logstones were removed as if you added enough of these on a Charisma mantra, the effect would last so long the mantra's cooldown would have ended before the effect wore off, this may have also applied to Reinforce.
    • Reinforce and Brace now upgrade duration by leveling them up at Regek.
• Prediction has, by far, the most Talent card upgrades out of all the attunement-less mantras.
• A small sample of Reinforce's sound effect is taken from the anime "BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense", specifically S1E6 at the 6:20 mark on YouTube.
• Summoning Cauldron used to be one of the most powerful mantras out there, being able to proc bulldozer for free if you movestacked it with flourish.
• As of the 17/02/2024 Update, Exhaustion Strike, can no longer guardbreak monsters or players by transferring posture.
• You can obtain other Weapon Mantras as long as you have 30 investment points in them, including Jus Karita mantras.
  • This used to be 8
• Rapid Punches and Ceaseless Slashes are the only Attunement-less mantras to be starred, being 1 and 3 stars respectively.
• "Strong Left" may have been inspired by Franky's Strong Right from one piece (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE-kYYDvGtk).
  • Strong Left used to be notorious for having a large backwards hitbox that was bigger than the actual forwards hitbox, leading to clips such as turning around to make a strong left hit.
• Rapid Slashes is Vergil's move from Devil May Cry series.
• Revenge has its sound effects from the indie RPG game "OMORI" (Critical Hit | OMORI SFX)
• Despite how it may seem, Attunement-less Mantras still utilise the Song to temporarily enhance Ones body, which is why Silenthearts are unable to use them. The reason they are not hunted by Silenthearts is probably due to the fact that it is not abuse of the song, it is merely an enhancement of your own physical attributes.
• Ether Barrage might be a reference to a bug that happened, where a duplicate of Rapid Punches would be available to pick as an Intelligence Combat Mantra.
