Infinite Magicraid Ben Austin Emblem Build Guide

To build Ben Austin effectively in Infinite Magicraid, invest your mastery points into the Support and Defense emblem trees while completely skipping the Attack tree. Ben Austin functions as a utility buffer and turn-cycling enabler whose primary combat value comes from triggering allied pursuit attacks, applying Defense Down, and casting protective shields. Because his pursuit triggers scale with the offensive stats of your main damage carries rather than his own, your emblem path must focus strictly on Speed, Effect Hit, and defensive durability.

Primary Support Emblem Path

The Support tree forms Ben Austin's main progression path. It supplies the Speed needed to establish early turn order, the Effect Hit required to land debuffs on high-resistance targets, and cooldown reduction to keep assist skills in rotation.

• Tier 1 (Swift Action): Select flat Speed to lower equipment stat requirements and secure an early turn order before your carries act.
• Tier 2 (Astute Focus): Take Effect Hit to ensure his Defense Down debuff reliably penetrates enemy resistance checks.
• Tier 3 (Fortified Aegis): Select shield efficiency and incoming heal absorption to reinforce the barrier strength provided to your team.
• Tier 4 (Cooldown Mastery): Choose cooldown reduction or turn meter acceleration to cycle active pursuit-enabling skills more frequently.
• Keystone (Battle Rhythm): Lock in the keystone that grants bonus turn meter or team stat buffs when executing active support abilities.

Secondary Defense Emblem Path

Direct secondary emblem points into the Defense tree to protect Ben Austin against boss area attacks and burst damage. Skipping offensive nodes in favor of survival ensures he stays alive to trigger pursuits over long encounters.

• Health and Defense Nodes: Allocate points into percentage HP and flat Defense bonuses to increase his effective health pool.
• Mitigation Passives: Select damage reduction nodes that trigger under heavy focus or low health thresholds to prevent sudden deaths.
• Tenacity and Resistance: Pick Tenacity nodes to reduce incoming critical strike risk, alongside Effect Resistance nodes to prevent stuns, freezes, and silence debuffs from stalling his turns.

Target Stat Benchmarks and Gear Synergy

Emblem selections should offset substat requirements on your gear. Pair a Speed Set with survival-oriented gear sets such as First Aid or Fearless to hit the following attribute thresholds:

Game Mode Adjustments: Guild Boss vs. Arena

While the primary Support tree structure remains standard across all content, adjust secondary Defense choices depending on your target game mode:

• Guild Boss: Prioritize long-term sustain and damage reduction passives that activate at lower health thresholds. Surviving through later boss rounds generates far more total team damage via assist attacks than any offensive hybrid setup.
• PvP Arena: Bias secondary points toward Effect Resistance and turn-one survivability. Resisting crowd control and withstanding opening burst damage ensures Ben Austin can immediately activate your team's pursuit attack volley to remove priority enemy threats.
