The FIRE FORCE Pt. 2 update for Verse Piece has arrived, bringing two powerful and highly anticipated new Specialties (Specs) to the game: Benimaru – Destruction King (Celestial) and Joker – The Flaming Ace (Exotic). Unlocking them requires dedication, farming, and completing specific quests. This guide will walk you through every step to add these formidable fighters to your arsenal.
Unlocking the Benimaru – Destruction King Spec
Benimaru’s Spec is a Celestial-grade powerhouse. The unlock process is divided into two main stages: completing the questline and then gathering the necessary crafting materials.
The Benimaru Questline
To begin your journey towards the Destruction King Spec, you must first complete a series of four tasks. These are sequential and must be done in order.
Defeat 50 Mobs using Fire Skills: This is a straightforward farming task. Use any fire-based abilities on regular enemies around the map.
Defeat 25 Infernal Demons using Fire Skills: This step requires you to seek out the stronger Infernal Demon enemies and eliminate them with your fire skills.
Defeat Shinra, Joker, and Benimaru Clone: You must triumph in battles against these three specific boss characters.
Obtain Waka’s Staff: This is a key item that drops from a specific source, likely related to the Fire Force storyline bosses.
Upon completing this entire quest chain, you will be rewarded with the Benimaru Spec and the “Destruction King” title.
Crafting the Full Benimaru Spec
After obtaining the base spec, you need to empower it by crafting the Infused Destruction Sigil. This requires you to gather the following materials:
100x Demon Core
250x Infernal Core
50x Fire Essence
1x Destruction Sigil (Obtained from the questline)
1x Matoi Staff (A crafting component)
Once you have all the materials, craft the Infused Destruction Sigil. With this item in your inventory, you can then claim the fully realized Benimaru – Destruction King Spec.
Unlocking the Joker – The Flaming Ace Spec
Joker’s Spec is an Exotic type, and his unlock method is centered entirely around collecting a specific set of rare cards.
The Card Collection Quest
For Joker, there is no traditional questline. Instead, your goal is to collect a precise number of four different card types:
666x Joker Cards
666x King & Queen Cards
52x Burning Cards
1x Ace of Fire
These cards are random drops from various enemies and activities within the Fire Force update content.
Crafting the Joker Spec
Once you have painstakingly collected all the required cards, the next step is to combine them. Take all the cards to the appropriate crafting station and combine them into a single item called the Ace’s Infernal Deck.
Presenting this completed deck will unlock the Joker – The Flaming Ace Spec and grant you the “Jack of All Flame” title.
Efficient Farming Tips for Both Specs
Gathering these materials can be time-consuming. Here are some general tips to optimize your farming:
Focus on Specific Enemies: Farm Scattered Infernals and boss enemies like Benimaru for consistent drops of Infernal Cores, Demon Cores, and Fire Essence.
Utilize Fire Force Isle Quests: Don’t ignore the repeatable quests on the Fire Force Isle. They provide valuable EXP and Beli to support your farming efforts.
Track Your Progress: Keep a close eye on your inventory. Ensure you don’t miss any rare card drops or key item pickups. Staying organized is key to avoiding unnecessary re-farming.
