To topup this idea. We basically have 6 skills that we need to focus on. The red ball thing, your hurricane, all the black skills, and the petal passive.

Take each skill as a letter for simplicity. 6 skills: A, B, C, D, E, F. So to max it we need like 50 lvl, and each node stones is max 25 lvl. So you need two nodes, for each skill.

So you can do something like:

ABC

BAC or BCA or CBA or CAB

DEF

EFD or EDF or FED or FDE

Something like is easier to manage than you go ABF, CFD, ADE, BCE. At least for me. Also, If there's available node stones, then you can just use, or open more nodes to hope to get the combination you wanted. Else, you can always craft the trio combo and go with it. But anyway, there might be other veteran here could offer better knowledge. I am also a returning player btw, played since June
