The Best Builds

There are two common builds that are used. The high attack build will deal more damage overall and the high crit build will deal the most damage, but it does not happen all the time. The latter is the best for beginners and the former is better for players level 75 and up. Refer to the mechanics guide for more information on stats.

=High Attack Build= You can use an axe to further increase your attack. This will be better for players level 75 and up because their base level stats are already quite high.

At level 150 the stats are:

Helm: Elite Helm

Charm: Fire Charm

Shoulder: Elite Shoulder Pads

Shield: Elite Shield

Shirt: Helis Shirt

Gloves: Nekros Gloves

Belt: Nekros Belt

Kilt: Elvish Kilt

Boots: Helis Boots

Weapon: Poynu Axe, Dwarven Axe

=High Critical Chance Build= (good to use when your attack is just high enough where 2 regular hits to kill a mob. Going high crit chance, in this case, will help you kill that mob faster with 1 crit, and thus farm faster. This build also has higher defense than the Attack Build, this can help lower level players that are trying to join a group to kill bosses and don't want to get 1 shot).

At level 150 the stats are as follows:

Health 935, Def 823, Block Chance 40, Burn Resist 50%, Attack 784, Spd 100, Crit Chance 66, Poison Resist 5%

Helm: Dark helm

Charm: Fire Charm

Weapon: Book of Nekros or Excalibur

=Choosing The Correct Shield (Bonus)= For high level players, it is also important to choose the right shield for your needs. This can mean the difference between life and death in some cases. Why? Read on! :)

Shield Types:
Blockers: These shields are built to block shots, meaning there is a chance you won't take damage. Elite Shield currently has the high block in the game.

Tankers: These shields are built to add defense, meaning they help reduce the damage you take. Iron Shield is the best for this purpose.

What is Block Lock?
Block lock occurs when a player is being attacked by multiple monsters at the same time (swarms). When you are using a Blocker-type shield, you will find yourself constantly blocking shots. Since you cannot attack when you are blocking, you are essentially paralyzed and can't do a thing.

Solutions
When farming swarms that cannot be easily killed with 1 or 2 hits, try a Tanker instead. This will prevent you from getting block locked.

When doing boss fights, try a Blocker, which can save you from deadly hits.
