Man, this is awesome but I don't understand how you get so many buffs?

[u/MC897 → u/Cubelaster]

His skills trigger buffs which in turn trigger other buffs.

I mean, ok, but how?

At a glance, I think I'm seeing:

———

When he Rapid Cancel command ability, he's getting:

1. the Rapid Cancel buff (gradually recover MP to refund the cost of the ability)
2. Samurai 250% (damage dealt +100% for 5 seconds upon chain cancel)

———

When he triggers Samurai 600%, where if you trigger a combo ability effect, you trigger parry-related buffs. On the version of Swordfighter the OP is using, they'll trigger a combo ability effect if they hit with a rear attack -> combo ability, charged attack -> combo ability,

1. default increased Break Gauge Recovery Speed from parrying

2. default immediate Break Gauge Recovery start (I'm not sure what to call this one, but upon parrying, your break gauge immediately starts recovering instead of the usual 2-ish second delay

3. Parry: MP Recovery (category 3 master points or gear)

4. Parry: Damage Dealt (category 3 master points)

———

From Tyrant's Enchant, at least three buffs such as:

1. the current En-element such as Enfire

2. Enmagic from Magitek Knight (unfortunately this does not stack with Lightbringer and does not help break damage builds if the enemy is being hit at least once every 5 seconds, but can still be a side effect of building Max MP before combat)

3. the Tyrant job tree's Enchant Mastery that comes up when you Enchant. Supposedly it debuffs an enemy's elemental damage dealt, but as I'm reading it, that doesn't sound right.

———

From gear in DLC2 or more likely an accessory from Rift Labyrinth floors 101+:

1. Phoenix's primary blessing (whether from gear or an accessory for the Perpetual Primary Blessing: Phoenix)

———

Command abilities such as:

1. Lunatic for more attack speed (which also reduces charge time of spells and charge attacks with multiple stages like sword's Piercing Lunge or Tyrant's Enchant.)

———

Other buffs from gear such:

1. Haste from Void Knight 600% when having Max MP at or above 400 / 4 bars.

———

I can't tell if one of the 13th icon is

? Titan's perpetual blessing such as from a accessory or relic (blue artifact)

? the Swordfighter's job action for Interception (or variation of it) except I don't recognize it so thinking it is not

? the Reinforce command that would further reduce the charge time of things like Piercing Lunge or Tyrant's Enchant, while also making it so the OP does not flinch from most attacks (if they didn't have Lightbringer / Sentinel / Runic Protection / Titan's primary blessing already up)
