2. How Kaiser Works

Kaiser uses a Morph Gauge and Command system, a combination of Aran, Luminous and Demon Slayer system.
It works by filling up the Morph gauge quickly by performing attack + arrow-key + command.
Upon filling it completely, it provides bonus stats and able to temporarily transform into a powerful Dragon Saber during 3rd and 4th Job while significantly improving Kaiser abilities potential, more specifically to attacking skills. Kaiser is currently using shorter level job advancement! (1st Job : LV10 / 2nd Job : LV30 / 3rd Job : LV60 / 4th Job : LV100)
You can trigger Combo Skills by performing a series of (attack + arrow + command) or hotkey them.

Example:


fill up the Morph Gauge, you must use the Command skill. Now, as Kaiser, you can hotkey his skills like normal.
However, using them like that will fill up the Morph Gauge very slowly. To do it faster, you must use yourDragon Slash (attack key) as well as the arrow keys and the Command skill to activate skills. Doing so will fill up the Morph Gauge much faster as well as healing a percentage of your HP.

As the Morph Gauge is filled, you will become stronger. The top left is the base state, and in first job you can fill it up to it’s first stage, when it is fully green. At second job, you can reach the second stage, where it is fully yellow. Finally, in third and fourth job, you can reach the third stage, all red, after which you can activateFinal Figuration and transform!


2.1 Equipment


 
Kaiser uses two-handed swords, and a secondary weapon, the Dragon’s Soul. At fourth job, this Dragon’s Soul can have potential (weapon potential).

Kaiser also has its own equipment slot, the Emblem. It’s separate from the Dragon Soul that he uses as well! It can have potential as well.
