One of the strongest selling points ofEnotria: The Last Songis the smoothness of building your character. Collecting the entire build into one page is one of the smartest moves a souls-like game can pull for this genre. With thatfluidity of creating and managing your build, you can’t play the game without having the urge to keep experimenting with new Masks and builds.
AlthoughMask of Changeis the first Mask you acquire when startingEnotria: The Last Songjourney, it’s one of the best Masks and can be viable up until the last boss. Here’s how you build Mask of Change inEnotria: The Last Song.
Mask Of Change Build In Enotria: The Last Song
The perfect build forMask of Changeis the one that takes advantage of the Mask’s effects inEnotria: The LastSong. TheMask of Changehas two important effects; increasing Heavy attack damage and increasing Physical Power when awakened. Heavy attacks are done by weapon damage and these types of attackshave an entire Skill Tree and itemsthat increase their damage to the next level.
The awakened effect is a state your character enters when you meet certain conditions (indicated by a glowing arm), and it lasts for around 15 seconds. you may awaken theMask of Changeby either switching to the Mask or triggering a finishing attack by hitting an Unraveled enemy. So,it’s better to start combat with another Mask and switch to the Mask of Change to enter the awakened stateandtake advantage of its Physical Powerincrease effect.
To build Mask of Change, start by building your Virtues inEnotria: The Last Song. You’ll always be closer to enemies dealing and receiving damage, so it’s better to havethe Bruiser Virtue around 40 to 50.The Assassin and Trickster Virtues should be around 30 bothsince they directly buff your weapon damage and Stamina respectively. You can pull this off by using a good Aspect that buffs these statswhile ignoring the Elementalist and Battlemage Virtues.
For weapons, you want your character to be able todeliver as many Heavy attacks as possible, which not all weapons are comfortable with.The best weapons to wield with the Mask of Change are Polearms, Longswords, and Sabers. Polearms are the best because of their reach and how powerful their Heavy attacks can be. Longswords are strong and offer slightly less reach. As for Sabers, they’re extremely fast but have the least reach and power-per-hit among the other options.
Aspect of Curtis
The best Aspect to use when buildingMask of Changeis theAspect of Curtis, since it takes away from the Elementalist and Battlemage Virtues and adds six levels to Bruiser,eight levels to Assassin, and eight levels to Trickster. Not only that, but theAspect of Curtisalso grants your character 5% extra Physical Power, which is great for their Heavy attacks.
It’s easy to get the Aspect of Curtis, but if you want to experiment with other Aspects, you can go for:
Veemenza Elementale
You get extra Physical damage upon use.
The only important Mask Line theMask of Changeneeds is theVeemenza Elementale, since it grants extra Physical damage upon being cast. As for other Mask Lines, there are a handful of others to choose from that don’t require any scaling. In general, Mask Lines are directly related to the Battlemage Virtue. So, if you want to experiment more with them, you have to put resources in Battlemage.
Hymn of Vigor
Greatly boosts Stamina regeneration.
Many tools can buff up your damage and protect your character inEnotria: The Last Song. However, when building Mask of Change, these are the top priority to have. Starting with the top priority tool, always collect and buy as manyArmonia Sapas possible since they’re broken for any aggressive playstyle.Once your character takes Armonia Sap, you can easily heal any damage done, allowing you to be as aggressive as you want.Thyrus’ Drool ismore of an end-game item and can be hard to find, but it notably increases Physical Power and is always good to use against bosses. TheHymn of Vigoris also important since it buffs your Stamina regeneration. You can also useVerse of Vigor, which is easier to find but regenerates Stamina at a slower rate.
As for optional items, Inebriating Seasoning is a good choice if you want to deal with the consequences of using one. Once you useInebriating Seasoning, your character becomes Dizzy.During the Dizzy state, you deal and take more damage while your Stamina regenerates faster. It can be extremely useful if you’re able to perfectly dodge and parry attacks.
Dealing damage with Light attacks increases Heavy attacks.
Sudden Rush
Dealing damage with a weapon has a chance to refund its Stamina cost.
Annihilator
You have a chance to deal more damage with weapon attacks.
Reaching the most important part of buildingMask of ChangeinEnotria: The Last Song, Path of Innovators is the Skill Tree that heavily affects yourcharacter’s playstyle and role during combat. The notable Paths in this list are theSudden RushandDanza De Spada,since they dictate how theMask of Changewill approach combat. First,Sudden Rushgreatly reduces the need for Stamina as it keeps refunding your attacks.Danza De Spada, on the other hand, allows you to perfectly combo Light and Heavy attacks together. Once you hit a Light attack with Polearms, Longswords, or Sabers, you can quickly trigger a Heavy attack without charging, which is ideal for aggressive gameplay.
AnnihilatorandMaestro Combattenteare purely there to greatly increase your damage. Both Paths can add a crazy amount of damage to each one of your hits without you having to meet any requirements.Battle FeverandPath Of Furyalso slightly increase your damage, but they’re not as important. you’re able to replace them with more defensive Paths like:
