Overview

This is an alternative build to the usual GraceGrace build most people prefer to play on the SirinSirin pact. And while SirinSirin doesn't provide any bonus CourageCourage, building into it can lead to other weapon choices like the Duhk HalicDuhk Halic and/or the Igne MoraIgne Mora. These both weapons are perfectly fine to use in the build and their attunement fits perfectly into high CourageCourage builds.

Naturally, you want to add as many points into CourageCourage as possible, with the minimum requirement being 10 points for a lot of weapons, but building up to 20+ points would be ideal. GraceGrace is also fine to get to 10 points so you can access some GraceGrace weapons that require a certain amount of GraceGrace.

Picktrix PowderPicktrix Powder – Use this to crowd-control enemies by staggering/blinding them and dealing some damage. It makes it much easier to finish off mobs once they’re CC’d, and you can move behind them to backstab and kill them quickly while also offering an opportunity for PickpocketPickpocket.

Trick of the LightTrick of the Light – Creates a clone of yourself wherever you shoot an arrow (this doesn't require a bow). The clone taunts enemies and draws their aggro, letting you sneak behind them to backstab and finish off distracted targets.

GlamourGlamour – The stealth skill for SirinSirin players. Turns you into a butterfly and makes you effectively invisible, allowing you to sneak up on enemies for quick backstabs. This is especially useful when target-farming and using PickpocketPickpocket on specific mobs.

Joineries

Always pick a “Blessed by Mora” Joinery if you find one, as it boosts your damage and keeps CourageCourage as your weapon’s attunement. If you don’t have it, skip reforging unless you at least have a Polished Joinery, which is a decent option that won’t change your weapon’s attunement. Remember that adding a Joinery resets the weapon back to level 1, so you’ll need to level it up again afterward.
