Default physical hitoshura?

I didn't know if this would be better here or tips/hints. If its the wrong section then mods please move it.

My question is how can I get a physical hitoshura or advice of getting to make one/using one? As in one that specialize in attack/beat down over magic, (debuffs are ok.) I'm going to play it again and moves like Divine/Axis/Freikugel looks awesome. I was always a magic user in rpgs so I'm trying something new.

Would this be hard in the start of the game/TDE route?

I know that I would need to keep Focus and probably Hp shoes, or whatever that 'hp while you move' skill is but from using google that's it.

physical build is best in the very late game, since you can lvl above the max and strengthen your physical attacks even further - best for TDE. (you'd need Pierce either way)

The only important thing is to not forget Focus, since you can learn that early on.
Other than that you'll definitely need Pierce,
Freikugel for single-target and a multi-hit like Deadly Fury or whatever you prefer.

The rest is pretty much up to you: wether you use some passives like Life Surge, Avenge, some elemental skill for whatever might repel phys (e.g. Bolt storm or Glacial Blast) or supportive spells.

The "hp-restorive" skill would be "Life Refill", but I don't think that is necessary later on. If you intend to walk through like that, maybe.

I can't say how hard it would be early on, since I was a magic-user also. But I don't think you will have too much trouble, unless you really want to leave everything beside physical stuff out. And even then you still have your demons who can make up for that.
You might also stay the usual magic-user in early game and switch later on, that is up to you.

I mostly used a physical Hitoshura and got the TDE, and I didn't have too difficult of a time with it. Most of my skill slots were taken up with buffs and/or debuffs, I kept one spell on me (Tornado?) for when I needed it, but other than that it was all Focus and physical skills. I left the magic to my demon friends, and with the exception of a few trouble spots that would have been trouble anyway, I think I did okay...

Thanks for the advice! >w<

I know that I abused mana refilled and turned the Mc into a magic user, (as well as other demons,) but from what you mentioned Kylaila I don't need Life Refill.

I'm going to take all this to heart!
