Assassin Build – Assassin Phoenix Light

Today, I will introduce a popular character that has great versatility, can be used very well from afar or close range, which is: Assassin Build – Assassin Phoenix strike Light Build. I would like to start with the charge-up Sin build, the first of which is PHOENIX STRIKE SIN, using Phoenix Strike combined with Claw of Thunder.

1. INTRODUCTION:

*ADVANTAGE: 

• This is a very strong and unquestionable melee lightning char build. Attack in combination with Physical and Lightning
• Because it is a lightning strike, Phoenix Strike must accumulate a second Charge (In order: 1 is Fire, 2 is Light, 3 is Cold)

*DEFECT: 

• Even though he combines Physical and Elemental, he is still affected by the Iron Maiden and Aura Thorn curses. And most of all, I'm still afraid of Immu Light

2. STAT DISTRIBUTION:

• STRENGTH: It's a melee char, the higher the strength, the higher the damage caused by the Phoenix strike, so you should put about 120-140 points here without counting the additional stats of the item.

• DEXTERITY: To play accurately, in addition to adding strength, Attack Rating and Block rate are also very important, so put about 100-120 points here.

• VITALITY: After steadily increasing your Strength, put all your remaining points here, you won't regret it!!!!!!!! On average, for every 15 points, you should put 4 points into Dex, 6 points into Strength and the remaining 5 points into Vitality.

• ENERGY:Don't waste points here because Phoenix Strike doesn't require too much mana. In addition, Cobra Strike drains a lot of monster's health and mana.

3. SKILL DISTRIBUTION:

MARTIAL ARTS: Please give 1 point to each of the following skills:

• Tiger Strike: 1 point.
• Dragon Talon: 1 point.
• Cobra Strike: 1 point.
• Dragon Tail: 1 point.
• Dragon Flight: 1 point.

Those are the basic skills, and the following are the main skills. You have two options, one is to max Phoenix Strike and put the remaining points into the Fists of fire and Claws of thunder resonances, or increase the points evenly for each skill. Sep has tested it and found that their damage is the same. so it depends on you.

• Dragon Claw: Max this skill, you can use it as a finishing move for Phoenix Strike or a normal attack is also very strong.
• Fists of Fire: Put 10-12 here, it is the resonance for Phoenix Strike, its damage is very high. (Should be raised last right after arranging other Skills)
• Claws of Thunder: The direction I play is Claws of Thunder, so let's max out 20 points.
• Blades of Ice: Put 1 point here or increase steadily with Phoenix, decent damage, helps freeze monsters when they surround us.
• Phoenix Strike: Here it is, our main skill, a very strong Charge-up skill, our main skill. You should max 20 Points.

Because our main move requires a fairly high level of 30, but from the first levels we can use Tiger Strike or Fists of Fire which is very strong, so you won't have too many difficulties.

SHADOW DISCIPLINES: Please give 1 point to the following skills:

• Claw Mastery: 20 points. (This is necessary)
• Psychic Hammer: 1 point.
• Burst of Speed: 1 point.
• Weapon Block: 1 point.
• Fade: 1 point.
• Cloak of Shadows: 1 point.
• Shadow Warrior: 1 point.
• Shadow Master: 1 point.

Claw mastery increases the damage of our Phoenix Strike, Burst of Speed increases attack speed, running speed should be around 5 points if possible. Weapon Block increases Block rate combined with high Dex, we won't worry too much about blood loss anymore. The reason why Sep doesn't put points into Mind Blast is because our Shadow Master has already used it, so let's put points into useful skills.

TRAPS: Forget it, you have to put all your main skills in the Martial Arts column.
