Killing Intent Guide: Crafting and PHR Damage Test

Craft Killing Intent at spawn

Killing Intent is a Special Grade accessory that increases weapon damage and gives additional bonuses to Honoyagi and Shattered Cloud. That makes it a useful option for a Physical Heavenly Restriction build that uses Honoyagi for Maculation and Shattered Cloud for its main damage attacks.

Visit the crafting NPC at spawn once you have all four ingredients. Check your inventory before farming: older raid and crate rewards may already cover part of the recipe.

• 3 Broken Blades
• 5 Cursed Essence
• 5 Infusion
• 1 Catalyst

Farm Broken Blades and Cursed Essence

Broken Blades drop from Tsurugi Raid. You need three for Killing Intent. While farming them, collect Awakening Crates as well: those runs can help you work toward the Awakening gear used in a PHR build.

Cursed Essence comes from several high-tier crates. You need five, so use the crates you already have before committing to a new farming route. The listed chance applies to an individual crate opening.

• Calamity Crate: 3% Cursed Essence chance.
• Scarlet Crate: 2.51% Cursed Essence chance.
• Crimson Crate: 2% Cursed Essence chance.

Get Infusion and Catalyst from the correct raids

Infusion is a bonus drop from the Awakened Zen’in Raid. Its chance scales with difficulty, and the recipe needs five. The in-game item description lists a 2% chance at difficulty 1, 3% at difficulty 2 and 5% at difficulty 3. Choose a difficulty you can complete reliably.

Catalyst comes from Disaster Crates earned through the revamped Jogo Raid in Join Raids. You only need one Catalyst for Killing Intent. Once it drops and the other materials are ready, return to the crafting NPC at spawn.

• Disaster Crate I: 1.35% Catalyst chance.
• Disaster Crate II: 2% Catalyst chance.
• Disaster Crate III: 2.7% Catalyst chance.

Set up the tested PHR build

The comparison in this guide uses Toji clan, three Sovereign gear pieces and Shattered Cloud. The first measurements change the accessory while keeping that core setup. Temporary buffs are added afterward so their effect can be seen separately.

Honoyagi provides Maculation for the final buff sequence. Activate Maculation with Honoyagi equipped, then switch back to Shattered Cloud for your basic attacks and main damage skills.

Treat the numbers below as approximate results from this particular build. They are useful for comparing the tested accessories, but they are not the accessory's raw stat bonuses or a guaranteed damage result for every player.

• Clan: Toji.
• Gear: three Sovereign pieces.
• Main damage weapon: Shattered Cloud.
• Buff weapon: Honoyagi, using Maculation.
• Accessory being evaluated: Killing Intent.

Compare Killing Intent, Floatie and Inventory Curse

The starting damage without an accessory was about 1.76 billion. Inventory Curse raised it to roughly 1.87 billion, while Thug Flamingo Floatie reached approximately 2.50 billion. Killing Intent produced the highest result among the three tested accessories at about 2.90 billion.

The most useful direct comparison for an established PHR build is Killing Intent against Floatie: 2.90 billion versus 2.50 billion, an increase of roughly 400 million damage or 16%. Against the no-accessory baseline, Killing Intent added about 1.14 billion damage, approximately 64.8%.

• No accessory: about 1.76 billion damage; comparison baseline.
• Inventory Curse: about 1.87 billion; +110 million and approximately +6.25% versus baseline.
• Thug Flamingo Floatie: about 2.50 billion; +740 million and approximately +42.0% versus baseline.
• Killing Intent: about 2.90 billion; +1.14 billion and approximately +64.8% versus baseline.
• Killing Intent versus Floatie: approximately +16.0% in this test.

Activate your buffs before Shattered Cloud attacks

Keep Killing Intent equipped, then add the temporary buffs in sequence. Attack Vow VI raised the reported damage from about 2.90 billion to 3.06 billion. Adding Bloodthirst brought it to around 3.15 billion. After Honoyagi's Maculation and switching back to Shattered Cloud, basic attacks reached roughly 3.23 billion.

Bloodthirst must be activated to receive its temporary effect; equipping it alone does not keep the active bonus running. It also costs health, so watch your HP while preparing the rotation.

With the full setup, the reported basic-attack result was about 83.5% above the original 1.76-billion baseline, a difference of approximately 1.47 billion. The source also reports hundreds of billions during skill use, but gives no exact timed skill rotation or standardized total for that claim.

• Equip Killing Intent.
• Activate Attack Vow VI: reported result about 3.06 billion.
• Activate Bloodthirst: reported result about 3.15 billion with the Vow still active.
• Equip Honoyagi and use Maculation.
• Switch back to Shattered Cloud: reported basic-attack result about 3.23 billion.
• Use your main damage skills while the buffs are active.

Is Killing Intent worth crafting?

For the Shattered Cloud PHR setup tested here, Killing Intent is a worthwhile crafting goal. It outperformed both Inventory Curse and Thug Flamingo Floatie, and its Honoyagi bonus fits the two-weapon approach used for Maculation and damage.

Build toward the complete setup gradually. The accessory improves an existing build; it does not replace the value of your clan, gear, weapon upgrades and correct buff timing. If you already use Toji, Sovereign pieces and Shattered Cloud, gather the four ingredients and compare Killing Intent against your current accessory under the same conditions.

Your final material checklist is three Broken Blades, five Cursed Essence, five Infusion and one Catalyst. Craft at spawn, activate Attack Vow VI and Bloodthirst, use Honoyagi's Maculation, then switch to Shattered Cloud for damage.
