The newly introduced profession "Soul Musician," also known as "Guitarist," in the public test of Stellar Harmony, is a blend of damage-dealing and support roles, featuring two distinct development paths: Rhythmic Fury and Concerto. Some players might not know how to play the Guitarist in Stellar Harmony. Below, we provide a guide for the Soul Musician in the mobile game. The Rhythmic Fury focuses on offensive rhythm and breaking resilience, while the Concerto specializes in group buffs and healing support. From the current version's professional environment, the Concerto, due to its stable healing ability and high attribute buffs, is more competitive in various challenge dungeons.
Rhythmic Fury:
The Rhythmic Fury is designed to deliver burst damage in team coordination, especially excelling in the mechanism of breaking resilience. Its core second-tier talent, "Fragment," effectively increases damage against targets with broken resilience, speeding up the process of breaking defenses, theoretically suitable for quick-kill teams and striking down BOSS shields. However, in reality, the Rhythmic Fury lacks standout damage, negligible healing, and less supportive effects than the Concerto, making it difficult to find a suitable position in team compositions.
In terms of attribute selection for Rhythmic Fury, the benefits from haste are almost imperceptible, and it is more practical to stack crit and luck, which helps increase the chances of triggering talents like "Ferocious Strike," thereby enhancing overall skill rotation efficiency. If there are extra attribute points, they can be used to supplement mastery, which improves the frequency of skill triggers and performance gains. For the second-tier talent build, Rhythmic Fury needs to revolve around core talents such as "Fragment," "Rebound Swing," "Restart," and "Ascend: Infinite Rhapsody" to form a loop. The key to operation lies in continuously triggering the enhanced regular attack "Ferocious Strike" and quickly stacking performance enthusiasm through the cooperation of Spotlight and Heroic Symphony.
In actual combat, the battle rhythm of Rhythmic Fury is quite tight. Start by casting "Flame Rhapsody" to increase fire attribute output, then enter a high-energy state with "Spotlight," followed by "Heroic Symphony" to quickly trigger the enhanced regular attack. Use the ultimate move to push performance enthusiasm to 12 points, after which you can cycle between three beat skills and one ensemble symphony for continuous output. Whenever the symphony ends, the cooldown of the ultimate move will also just reset, allowing for another burst phase. This cycle theoretically has a good rhythm and smooth output.
Concerto:
The design of the Concerto is much more mature, focusing on healing and support. The biggest highlight of the Concerto is its core talents "Attribute Resonance" and "Critical Attribute Resonance," which convert the guitarist's intelligence into main attribute buffs for teammates, directly increasing their output efficiency. Paired with the four-star fantasy "Flame Goblin," the Concerto can bring burst attribute enhancements during the symphony duration, making it one of the most popular team setups in high-level dungeons in the current version.
For attribute selection, the Concerto recommends prioritizing crit and mastery. Crit not only has a high trigger chance but also activates multiple energy recovery mechanisms, such as "Brilliant Chapter Charge" and "Critical Charge Rhythm," significantly increasing the frequency of skill releases. Mastery attributes offer some bonuses to skill effects and healing, while the benefits of haste and versatility are relatively low, offering poor value for points.
In terms of talent pairing, the Concerto mainly focuses on the middle line, prioritizing nodes that enhance skill frequency and buffing abilities, such as "Overload Attribute Resonance," "Sound Tower Resonance," and "Encore Chain." The right-line output talents are mostly abandoned. It's worth noting that even if some talents are wasted on the "Vitality Liberation" path just to get a 25% crit healing boost, it's still worth investing in, as this healing boost can greatly enhance the healing effect.
The operational loop of the Concerto is more straightforward compared to the Rhythmic Fury. The core skill combination includes Healing Symphony, Surge Quintet, Passionate Flourish, and Encore. The opening sequence involves casting Encore to enter the rhythmic state, followed by Healing Symphony to set the healing tone, then using Passionate Flourish to maximize attribute buffs, and finally employing Surge Quintet to enhance healing while extending the symphony duration. There is virtually no downtime in the entire loop; simply use the skills as they become available. In practice, adjust the timing of the quintet and healing beats based on the health status of your teammates.
After reading the above introduction, everyone should have a general understanding of how to play the Guitarist in Stellar Harmony. Although the Rhythmic Fury's performance in the current version is not satisfactory and awaits future updates, the Concerto, with its powerful buffs and stable healing, has already become the core support in teams. If players want to achieve higher fault tolerance and better employment opportunities in team dungeons and competitive activities, the Concerto is undoubtedly the best choice at present.
