[Laby] Guide for Radiant Soul path

I'll help, so everyone can be happy!

In this In-Depth guide, I will explain the Base Laby character System, Radiant Soul's unique class system and go in depth of multiple skill builds, occasions and equipment suggestions. It might take me some time to complete this guide, as I will use my free time to do so, so please do not post in between my posts until I am done. Afterwards, any suggestions on what I've missed out or might be able to be done differently may be discussed and appreciated.

Thank you!

Laby

Laby's Character System "Sentimental Point" is a unique system that allows Laby to enhance her combo commands and various special active skills.

Combo commands gain a 10% Chance on double attack, 100% Defence ignore (10% in PvP) and increase Damage dealt and range of combo attacks by 30%.

Laby can hold a maximum of 10 Sentimental Points at a time. They can be recharged by Special Actives, it's main source being the Skill Inner Aurora and Awakening.

Her Awakening triggers immediatly once the bar is filled, however she still can execute an Awakening Skill similar to Adds, which will cause 1 second of Groggy state and 2234% magical damage to hit targets in a close range without any Skill Freeze unlike normal Awakening, as well as recover 10 Sentimental Points.

Her Awakening Duration is locked to 30, 60 and 90 seconds, so equipment can not increase her Awakening time. However, each Laby class possesses a passive that increases her Awakening Duration by 10/20/30 seconds respectively.

Slow dive kick with a huge multi-hit hitbox, also the hitbox delays up to 1 second after landing

Uppercut (launches), Air Kick and Downward Punch (knocks down). The Uppercut reduces the Knockdown Value (comparable to X-Drop), making it possible to chain infinite combos
