Knuck tank+ impact-less combos!

can it be?
To have combos as tank that dont require impact?
Oh n general knuckle dps-y combos that dont require impact?
Since l am leveling ( and as a newbie tank no less, no idea how l level fast xD) l am trying to save up sp n use them for essential skills, while important, impact takes up about 22 sp @.@; ) ..too much to give at low level..
If there are, plz suggest then ><; )!
Thank you in advance for those who help!

(Note : as a tank, possible to skip santuary or guardian for time being(n get impact)? Since they are 15 sp each..
Or they are ‘must have’ skills?Since forgoing decoy ..l cant :’3 mp management xD)

 

Without impact it’s will have slightly difficult to setup combo, example like 1HS can use Shield Cannon > Guardian(s) > Meteor(s) for long range Guardian Cast, but Knuc can’t. In additional you don’t want Impact...I will leave this question for knuc-tank player.

General DPS knuc need Impact as well, this is because Knuc do not have much skill can use as Mana Bank expect shield break. Tkick, HSmash, Chariot or Rush is too slow as a mana bank, thus some of them will get Warcry, but Impact still needed. BTW dancer skill is great for Knuc Mana Bank, just time-management skill is needed for this combo.

Guardian is much more important then sanctuary to maintain aggro, sanctuary will have problem will deal with mob that like to run away, and don’t forget perfect def. So get Guardian> Pdef > then only consider sanctuary at the end of game.

Other important skill is recovery and Backstep. Recovery is need for your to regen from ignite and poison which will reduce your HP base on %, and if you have sufficient SP make it LVL10 because it will give you back 100Mp when recovery back from bad status, mean 0 mp, it’s good on assist your party as well. Backstep is use for when you accidentally step into the dead Zone or get stop ailment( cannot move), since your cant equip dagger, get LVL1 will do.

 

My knuck tank is

MTL VIT -> Tank + Secondary DPS

I do not use impact, I do not use Decoy. However, I use dancer skills.

Combo 200mp -> Protect or Aegis -> astute dance -> Guardian swift
Stall combo -> Assault attack -> Elegant pose Save -> Pdef (Swift)
DPS Combo -> Shell break -> Shield Cannon (Smite) -> Elegant Pose
Mana Combo -> Fairy Dance -> Astute Dance (Save) -> spirit dance (Swift) -> Shield Cannon (Minds eye) To keep track of Shield Cannon Timer
Heavy Smash on Shortcut for Shellbreak

Level 10 Provoke for Aggro Spam.
