My personal Guide

• Mechanics
• Which one attack?
•  The Blue Sword mark means both you and the ghost attack.
•  The Orange mark means only the ghost attack.
•  No mark means neutral, only you attack.
• Ghost Step skill
•  The most important skill for Ghost Blade. While you cast this skill, Ghost Blade is put into a stand, and some of your skills will turn into different colors.
•  
• The skills that are not in blue and not grayed out are those that only the ghost attack. So using  mechanic, you could potentially cast one ghost skill and two you-only skills, one right after another.
• Blue skills mean you can cast them along with your  (aka casting 2 skills at once dealing even more damage). Using  also significantly reduce the cast time (example using  below).

• Personal Build 

• Max these passives
•        
• Then max these actives first
•        
• Then use the remaining SP for these

• My hotkey

• Skill Rationale 
•  Leave    at level 1 for movement and utilities.
• Popular talisman : 
• Ethereal Eradication  > Shattering Strike: Soul  > EX: Abyssal Punishment  > Circle Cut: Berserk 
•  is best in slot, this talisman negates  cooldown once  is used. So you can do something like this  >  >  > 
•  SP dump in order of recommendation
•  - Highly recommended
• Primarily casted right after 
• Great damage at low cooldown. Can fit at least 3  in 20-sec rotation.
•   - Moderately recommended
• Damage are decent.
•  is locked into the strongest mob and is weaker than  in sandbag test.
•   - Mildly recommended
• Damage is okay, not great.
•  can be used to link to other skill during rotation.
•  - Not recommended
• It would make sense that since  is used so much in rotation to connect pretty every skills that  would need to be max.
• However the damage scaling is not worth the SP points. You're better off investing in other skills. Base on dunfaoff.com, no top players in kdnf max this skill.
