Overview

The Ode Tempest is the best mage-type character build you can play in Soulframe, adding the ability to take down enemies from range with ease while also buffing yourself and your allies with Atmos Sphere which makes it particularly difficult to die. This build is perfect for those that already played the game a bit and are looking to spice things up.

Virtues

Primary

Spirit

Secondary

Courage

Using the Odiac means that you have to invest a great deal into Spirit to boost its damage. A little bit of Courage is enough to reach the attunement requirements for Courage weapons if you want to branch out and try different weapons.

Skills

Ode Tempest

Seismor – This ability can be great for repositioning enemies but can also doom a fight as it pushes enemies away while damaging them. While the damage of Seismor is great, the ability can also push enemies out of friendly AOE skills which can piss off your teammates.

Astra Sphere – This is your main damage boosting skill which allows you to put it down onto the ground, boosting your regular weapon attacks whenever hitting enemies close to the Astra Sphere.

Atmos Sphere – A fantastic defensive skill! Use this to shield yourself and your allies, shielding them from damage and allowing you to take a few hits before the Atmos Sphere expires.

Odiac

Gildaur

Virdigris

Joineries

Always use a “Blessed by Iridis” Joinery if you find one. If you don’t have it, don’t bother reforging unless you at least have a Polished version of the Joinery. Remember that adding a Joinery to a weapon resets it to level 1, and you’ll need to level it up again afterward.

Iridis' Favour is an important node to invest into in order to increase your Spirit. Akin is another importnat skill as it lowers your cooldowns which helps maintain both Astra Sphere & Atmos Sphere as much as possible. Lightning Strike is another good node to have, truly increasing the damage you do when targeting downed enemies.
