So I was wondering..... (new player here)

So I'm a new player haven't gotten too far but I at least have access to lvl 3 skills. I was wondering has anyone tried a knuckle/assassin build and if so how was it? I think it could work before and after you obtain lvl 4 skills but I just wanted to know everyone's thoughts please and thank you.

 

The only thing that will be more useful to us brawlers in assassin skills are backstep and arcane strike backstep would give us mobility to back out of aoe and arcane gives ampr i casually call it quasi shadowstep since ur kinda teleporting behind the enemy tho animation is slow i only use it on my high speed brawl

Dmg wise? Id rather use triple kick instead of back stab since backstab has many condition and its not worth it

 

I was actually thinking of just mainly using arcane shot and having those evasion buffs for survivability while also using triple kick/rush for my inbetween times damage combo. I'm just wondering how to build stats wise.

 

AGI for atk, aspd and dodge
DEX for accuracy, atk and cspd
VIT if you need more hp, since you will fight mostly at short range

many people prefer STR for critical damage, but it's not much and STR contributes to nothing else. it's the least effective stat for knuckles.

 

Ahhhhh since I'm new with no funding i assumed I'd need to get alittle crit but vit sounds like a good idea. As for agi and dex those were the ones i were thinking would be best. Thank you both for the input i really appreciate it.

 

CRT is good for those knuckles with critical rate+30%, since that stat multiplies your base critical rate, which can only be raised with CRT.

 

so if i have knuckles with crit rate+30% it would be worth otherwise just go agi>dex?

 

Sometimes u have to sacrifice some stat to other.. me myself has an agi》crt》vit》str build for more tankiness and i pic str for more cdmg since i always crt. I want to balance survivability-atk-aspd-hp-mp
It all depends on how u want ur character to be built to suite urself

 

@AntonyMaiku It will all depend on your playstyle. You will soon learn the perfect stat balance for your personal build. ^_^

 

You will also end up rebuilding once you learn the problems with your build. My first knuckles build incorperated dagger skills... and then assassin came out and in the end i realized 22cp was needed,but we have a 18cp limit.

Also evasion can get you killed if there are multiple mobs and that dodge seems to be a better stat imho so long story short: try and try even if you die. when you hit 180 you will agonize over your short comings and try to patch problems and learn that out of the 100builds we post here only your build works for you.

 

So if i'm reading this correctly then i might as well ditch 18%cr armor? CC stat calculator says it only gives me like 4 points or so which would fall in line with 18% being close to a 5th of 25% base crt Was this i formation in the tome of offense? I really wish i could find that cache or pdf

 

Man T3 skills for knucks are really underwhelming. Shellbreak is nice though.

As of now, assassin skills will really help you at the T3 level since you get access to arcane which is great as an ender to increase your ampr. Without Decoy, this is the next best thing.

Get aggravate to level 10, don't get armor break as it will interfere with your shellbreak.

Try to use your stat points to maximize your crit and vit. Use gear to increase your damage since damage growth from stat points doesn't scale well. Also use your gear to maximize your MP and AMPR.

I don't know how casual of a player you are so if oyu intend to take your time to level up that's what i recommend. Otherwise, I wouldn't even bother much with gear until after level 150.
