Rogue Genesia has over 30 different Soul Cards that you can unlock and select upon leveling up your characters. These cards can then be leveled up, evolved, and even paired with other cards to create the best combinations to maximize your DPS. So, to help you create the best builds, we've compiled this guide covering the most popular Rogue Genesia builds with the best synergy and DPS output.
With over 30 different soul cards, choosing the right ones to make a build can be quite confusing.

So, the six builds below are the best options that share the best synergy and damage output.
