A Dexterity/Intelligence Build that uses the Wing of Astel to great effect by capitalizing on its weapon skill Nebula.
The Nebula Knight Build uses a combination of Block Counters and the weapon skill of Wing of Astel: Nebula to handle any situation effectively. Because Wing of Astel scales well with both Dexterity and Intelligence, we don't use a Great Shield for this Build, due to low Strength. Carian Knight's Shield is an excellent choice for those using a Shield with no Strength investment. And because Scholar's Shield further increases its mitigations and Guard Boost, it only gets even more effective.
Wing of Astel has a unique R2 attack and charged R2 attack that fires 1 or 2 waves of magic forward, depending on whether you charged it or not. These waves deal 100% Magic Damage (just like Nebula), making them benefit greatly from Magic Scorpion as well as Terra Magica. The waves, however, do not benefit from the Axe Talisman, though the damage you deal with the sword itself does. These waves also increase in damage based on your Intelligence, making it imperative for this Build.
Nebula is really your go to for Boss encounters, and it shoots out star clusters in front of you that explode dealing Magic Damage. They group up in tight spaces, but fan out in open locations. You can cast Nebula and then follow up with a Charged R2 for great stagger damage, or just spam Nebula.
