Best Essence Stones in Atlas Fallen
Atlas Fallen includes a wide variety of Essence Stones, split into Damage, Tricks, Momentum, Healing, and Survivability categories. Overall, the best Essence Stones in the game are the offensive ones, primarily Damage, Tricks, and Momentum.
Without further delay, here are the top five Essence Stones in the game:
5. Ruthless Generation
Ruthless Generation increases the amount of Momentum gained upon defeating foes. With this Essence Stone, players will also get Momentum when destroying body parts.
Overall, it’s a great choice as it will significantly enhance your Momentum generation.
To get Ruthless Generation in Atlas Fallen, travel to The City of Sun, find a chest, and collect the required materials (8x Essence Core, 10x Nock Shroom, and 12x Silvery Ore).
4. Unstable Generation
Unstable Generation has a similar effect to Ruthless Generation as it increases your overall Momentum generation.
The difference is that it increases it even further but at the cost of losing Momentum when getting hit. If you’re confident in your dodging abilities, this stone will help you consistently speed up Momentum Accumulation.
To get the Unstable Generation stone, navigate to the Watch Tower and defeat the Fury Scrimmur located there.
3. Piercing Parry
Piercing Parry is a trick stone that shines if you can consistently parry enemies. With this stone, whenever you parry an enemy’s attack, they will be unable to resist your attacks for the next few seconds.
This is an amazing tool that can help you take down tough enemies easily, as long as you can parry their attacks.
To get Piercing Parry, travel to the Bastengar’s Underground and find the gate leading towards the Sunken City. Next to the gate, there’s a knight that will give you this stone.
2. Dazzling Impact
Dazzling Impact is another trick stone but this time with an active ability. This stone allows you to cast a strong AoE attack that scatters all enemy attacks while also leaving them vulnerable.
If you’re getting swarmed by enemies and want a solid get-out-of-jail-card, Dazzling Impact is a prime option.
To get the Dazzling Impact Essence Stone, navigate to The Forbidden Lands in Caladrias and find the researcher in the Shattered Keep Cellars. He will give you the recipe for this stone, which requires 1x Essence Core, 1x Meadow Clinth, and 2x Copper Ores.
1. Ruthless Slayer
Ruthless Slayer is the best Essence Stone in Atlas Fallen due to its simple yet amazing effect.
Whenever you slay an enemy or destroy a body part, you’ll have increased damage for 12 seconds. As you upgrade it, you’ll get even more damage and the effect will last longer.
To get Ruthless Slayer in Atlas Fallen, visit The City of the Sun and look for the same chest that contains Ruthless Generation. Two birds with one stone!
