Chosen Seren Guide: Soul Master vs Hero Arteria WAP Rates
Overcoming Phase 2 Sun Gauge challenges in Chosen Seren. Comparing Soul Master Cosmic Shower placements with Hero Incising sweeps in Arteria. 1% AH tax breakdown.
Chosen Seren Phase 2 Strategy & Soul Master vs. Hero Arteria WAP Revenue Audit
Entering Chosen Seren for the first time at Level 280, the most frustrating hurdle I faced was managing the Sun Gauge meter in Phase 2 during Sunset and Midnight phases. Getting struck by Seren's sword blasts filled the gauge rapidly, triggering Sunset stuns and Midnight boss shields that completely wasted our party's burst window.
Overcoming this requires strategic burst alignment, but equally important is minimizing physical fatigue during daily grinding in Arteria prior to entering the raid. In this guide, I share my hands-on experience testing Soul Master (Dawn Warrior) and Hero in Arteria maps, comparing their WAP yields and net hourly wages while factoring in mandatory 1% Auction House transaction taxes.
1. Phase 2 Mechanics & Warrior Class Playstyle
(1) Sun Gauge Management & Burst Alignment
In Phase 2, cleansing the gauge during Noon/Dawn phases is critical before initiating burst sequences in Sunset. Warrior classes should leverage Status Resistance skills and Super Knockback immunity to prevent burst cancellations caused by Sunset knockback attacks.
(2) Arteria Grinding Effort
- Soul Master: Stationing Cosmic Shower on the 1st floor allows you to stand on the 2nd floor, clearing the rest of the map using single-direction sweeps with Solar Pierce.
- Hero: Requires weaving Incising with empowered Raging Blow across horizontal jump paths to maintain mob clear continuity.

4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Is Soul Master efficient if Cosmic Shower can't 1-hit KO in Arteria?
No. Cosmic Shower 1-hit KO is essential to clear lower platforms automatically. If your damage falls short, upgrade your 6th Job Cores or farm in Shangri-La.
Q. How do we split party loot for Mitra's Rage?
When Mitra's Rage drops, sell it on the Auction House (~5B to 8B Mesos), subtract the 1% transaction fee, and split the net revenue equally among party members.
