Overview
Crossbow and Dagger PvP build with the highest damage potential in the game, offering remarkable damage output and lethal capabilities.

Attributes
Dexterity
Perception
Strength
WisdomTo maximize damage with this build, prioritize Dexterity and Perception. Investing in these stats will significantly boost your damage, ensuring you can consistently deal high damage in every fight. While adding some points to Wisdom for mana regeneration can help with sustain, your main focus should remain on Dexterity and Perception for damage. Additionally, be sure to allocate 30 points into Strength, as the extra health it provides is particularly valuable in the late game when the Crossbow becomes less effective.
Skills
As this build focuses on small scale PVP and dueling, being one of the strongest duelists in the game. You should definitely focus on upgrading your main damage skills. Your top priority is 
Quick Fire and 
Mortal Mark, as they are fundamental to your combo, alongside 
Knife Throwing. Subsequently, focus on enhancing 
Shadow Strike, 
Brutal Incision, and 
Cleaving Moonlight in that order as they are also part of the main damage rotation.
For passives, prioritize enhancing 
Ambidexterity, 
Assassin's Instincts, and 
Nature's Power to maximize your damage potential early on. These upgrades offer the most significant damage boosts. 
Shadow Walker can be upgraded later, as the benefits it provides over the blue version of the passive skill are relatively minimal, making it more of a defensive choice.
Equipment
These are the first items you should strive for after leveling as they are very easy to get and upgrade or trait as needed. However, you shouldn't try to trait these items too much as you won't be spending too much time playing with this setup. The green accessories however are very easy to trait as you can craft many of them quickly in order to get the correct traits so you should consider traiting them until you change into purples.
This is the gear you should be wearing during the midgame. It is comprised of gear you can get either from dungeons or by grinding contracts, they are relatively easy to trait up and you will spend most of the time wearing this set before advancing into the late game so traiting these items is very important.
AS OF 26/09/2024: THIS PART OF THE GEARING WINDOW IS RESERVED FOR END GAME (TIER 2 ITEMS) THAT AREN'T AVAILABLE YET IN THE WESTERN VERSION OF THE GAME AND ARE STILL BEING RELEASED IN KOREA. THAT FOR, IT REMAINS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND YOU CAN SAFELY IGNORE THIS PART UNTIL WESTERN RELEASE OF TIER 2.
This is the the best in slot gear and the most difficult to acquire. It is comprised of gear you won't get easily, requiring large amounts of Lucent to buy off the auction house or requiring you to be part of a dominating guild on your server. Some of the pieces come from tier 2 dungeons and are difficult to acquire and trait up.

Crossbow: Allocate 9 points into Chain Fire to boost your raw damage output and improve your ability to secure kills. Invest the remaining 3 points into Regen to increase Amitoi Heal amount by an additional 6%.
Dagger: Opting for Assassination for your Dagger is crucial, as it grants a notable damage increase. Distribute the remaining 6 points into Poison to introduce a chance for weakening effects and add extra damage to your arsenal.
Rotations
- This rotation is meant to deliver fast burst damage to a single target before they can respond. Ensure that both
Inject Venom and 
Mother Nature's Protest are active before using Shadow Strike to bind and silence your target. Then, use Mortal Mark to set up for the burst damage that follows.
Camouflage Cloak: This serves as your primary defensive ability alongside 
Selfless Diffusion. Employ it when you're under focused fire or need to relocate. It's also effective for resetting a fight and cooldowns after eliminating a target. Additionally, there are myriad other ways to utilize stealth, so don't hesitate to try it out!
Selfless Diffusion: This serves as your secondary defensive ability, boosting your resistance and enabling you to pass through players and mobs. Additionally, it provides extra Off-Hand Weapon Attack Chance, enhancing your damage potential if you opt to counterattack.
