Ok so due to extreme boredom and annoyance of constantly answering the same questions I decided to wipe up some class guides. These will include: equipment to wear, when to change them, what awakenings to get and of course BUILDS. This is my Blade version
I will include a 1v1 and an aoe guide for whom ever whats to do that
First up we will start with equipment
We start out as a little level 15 mercenary and take a look at sets and feel disappointed
Nothing here is of any use to us I’m afraid but be free to grab the level 15 set.
Personally I use the vagrant set till anything usefull comes along
Grab any old axe from the shop and let’s start levelling
Level 30:
Here we get a decent set
Cylos/Comet
Def+55, Crit Rate+5%, Hit Rate+10%
This add us up with some crit%
Not a lot but every bit counts
Still no noticeably good axes at our disposal
At 45 comes the masquepet cutter which is the only decent axe you really get as a mercenary, so might as well get it.
Level 60:
Now what do we know about the blade? Well first they get the highest amount of block in the game but that means nothing since there is no such thing as block here. And they dual wield.
This gives them a higher damage but also that much costlier
So what do we need at this point in time?
Well we still haven’t seen any good new sets so stay with what you have
Grab a couple of guardian axes and let’s be on our way.
Level 90
Here we get a REALLY good set
Dest/Dayst
Def+55, Crit Rate+15%, DEX+5
Not only that but we get 2 good axes as well.
Angel axes
+20% crit
+7 dex
These will boost your killing speed up by a lot but they can be skipped since we will be getting our end game weapons soon
Level 105
Here we get the
Legendary golden axes
+40% ADoCH
+20% crit
This is the endgame weapon for the blade. Meaning you never get better weapons at your disposal
Level 120
Here comes the best blade set you can get though many will stay in Dest/Dayst forver
But if you can get this:
Nox
STR+10, Crit Rate +20%, Add Def+25%, Add HP+15%
Now you do get bloody swords and they do have similar effects to the legendary golden axes
But the axes gains so much more power that the bloody swords is simply a joke
Now this concludes the equipment
As for Jewellery
Vigors
Demols
Peision/gore (I prefer the peision since the master and hero skills eats fp like there is no tomorrow)
Capes
Simply the thing adding the most dex
Now we start talking builds
And well my universal 1v1 build is dex till 100% crit rest into str
But we need a lot of dex to do this so we need some base damage first
I suggest this
200 str
Then add dex till you have 100% crit (this depends on your equipment (example: my blade uses Nox so I need 50 less dex than a blade using Dest/Dayst))
After you obtain 100% crit you simply start pumping str again
This is what you call a DPS build
The more you crit the more damage you do
Now what awakens should you get
Simple
ADoCH can never get to high
So get as much as possible
