Updating. No Leveling build for Chanter that we could match to the global skill list yet. We will add one when a dated guide covers it.

Weapon, skill counts and Korean name are official. The build cards summarise published player guides (Community source, with the date we read them); skill names are matched to the official global skill list, and anything a guide did not state is left out, not guessed.
