==Overview==
This Staff and Greatsword PvP build revolves around delivering rapid bursts of damage, making it highly effective in both duels and single-target assassinations during PvP encounters. While the Staff plays a supporting role, the primary damage potential lies in the Greatsword. This build focuses on close-quarters combat rather than fighting from range and kiting, as commonly seen in builds utilizing the Staff. Here, you'll leverage the Greatsword's high burst damage capabilities to initiate combat, followed by unleashing havoc with the Staff.

Focus on allocating points into Dexterity and Perception as they provide the most significant increase in damage. Aim to reach level 30 in each stat to fully maximize your damage potential, as this is the primary strength of the build. Allocate the remaining points into Strength to enhance your health pool and take advantage of the extra damage offered by the {{Skill|Vital Force|passive}}.
In this build, focus on investing points into Strength and Dexterity, aiming to improve both to maximize your damage potential and increase heavy attack chance and skill damage thanks to {{Skill|Vital Force|passive}} and {{Skill|Mana Amp|passive}}.

However, as you progress and your gear improves over time, you will want to aim for 70 points into strength to make use of the extra HP and heavy attack chance.

==Skill Priority==
With the build making heavy use of Greatsword skills, you should prioritize them when upgrading. Skills like {{Skill|Death Blow|active}} and {{Skill|Gaia Crash|active}}, {{Skill|Devastating Smash|active}}. The passives shouldn't be forgotten either as they provide an incredible boost to your damage, especially the combo of {{Skill|Robust Constitution|passive}} and {{Skill|Vital Force|passive}} as they compliment eachother, adding extra damage and health. {{Skill|Cold Warrior|passive}} offers increased critical hit along with Heavy Attack Chance which is vital to the build.
{{Priority|
{{Priority active|Valiant Brawl|Rare}},
{{Priority active|Precision Dash|Rare}},
{{Priority active|Stunning Blow|Rare}},
{{Priority active|Frost Smokescreen|Rare}},
{{Priority active|Inferno Wave|Epic}},
{{Priority active|Valiant Brawl|Epic}},
{{Priority active|Precision Dash|Epic}},
{{Priority active|Death Blow|Epic}},
{{Priority active|Stunning Blow|Epic}}
}}


 
While your staff abilities aren't as crucial to upgrade, both {{Skill|Judgment Lightning|active}} and {{Skill|Ice Spear|active}} deal good damage. Meanwhile, {{Skill|Icebound Tomb|active}} is a fantastic kiting tool and is part of your combo. {{Skill|High Focus|active}} is also a very important skill as it provides incredible hit rate and evasion rate, allowing you to essentially bypass most enemies that build evasion rate.
In terms of leveling priority, focus on upgrading {{Skill|Valiant Brawl|active}} and {{Skill|Stunning Blow|active}} to rare quality as they play a significant role in your initial engagement rotation alongside {{Skill|Willbreaker|active}}. Since {{Skill|Willbreaker|active}} starts as an epic skill, you don't need to prioritize upgrading it. However, upgrading {{Skill|Death Blow|active}} to epic provides a damage boost.
 
While your staff abilities aren't crucial to upgrade, it's still beneficial to enhance {{Skill|Inferno Wave|active}} and {{Skill|Frost Smokescreen|active}}. Upgrading {{Skill|Inferno Wave|active}} provides a notable damage increase which is most needed when you focus on raw damage output. Meanwhile {{Skill|Frost Smokescreen|active}} gains additional utility with rare quality, doubling its usage. However, upgrading these shouldn't be your highest priority.
 
When it comes to epic upgrades, prioritize {{Skill|Inferno Wave|active}}, especially if you encounter epic books that can be utilized while continuing to upgrade other abilities to rare quality.
 
 
==Passives Priority==
{{Priority|
{{Priority passive|Robust Constitution|Rare}},
{{Priority passive|Vital Force|Rare}},
{{Priority passive|Cold Warrior|Epic}},
{{Priority passive|Mana Amp|Epic}},
{{Priority passive|Vital Force|Epic}},
{{Priority passive|Robust Constitution|Epic}}
}}
 
Upgrading passives isn't too costly, allowing you to prioritize active skills instead. However, it's essential not to neglect them. Focus on upgrading {{Skill|Robust Constitution|passive}} and {{Skill|Vital Force|passive}} as they compliment eachother, adding extra damage and health. {{Skill|Cold Warrior|passive}} offers increased critical hit along with Heavy Attack Chance after using {{Skill|Stunning Blow|active}} and that for shouldn't be ignored as it boosts your heavy attack chance a lot when used alongside {{Skill|Precision Dash|active}} in your rotation. {{Skill|Mana Amp|passive}} provides extra health when improved and that pairs perfectly with {{Skill|Vital Force|passive}} which makes the choice obvious. The rest of your passives are high level and that for are already upgraded to epic.

*In this rotation, your objective is to initiate with {{Skill|High Locus|active}} to gain movement speed and easily reach your target with {{Skill|Precision Dash|active}}. Once you've closed the distance, follow up with {{Skill|Stunning Blow|active}} to immobilize them, then debuff with {{Skill|Willbreaker|active}} before delivering high damage using {{Skill|Death Blow|active}} and {{Skill|Valiant Brawl|active}}.

* This rotation serves as your primary kill sequence. You can start this buffed with {{Skill|High Focus|active}} but its not a requirement.
 
* The rotation is straightforward: begin with {{Skill|Precision Dash|active}} used two times to bind your target. If your bind succeeds, use {{Skill|Ascending Slash|active}} to trip (Prone) your target before using {{Skill|Icebound Tomb|active}} to lock them in place and increase the damage done by your {{Skill|Gaia Crash|active}}. Continue with {{Skill|Stunning Blow|active}} and {{Skill|Death Blow|active}} before finishing them off with {{Skill|Judgment Lightning|active}}. Remember that you can use {{Skill|Judgment Lightning|active}} twice if the first one is a heavy attack.

*In certain situations or events, you might find yourself low on HP or incapable of pushing after an enemy as their team mates would kill you. You can keep your range and use this rotation to put pressure and force an engage from them while remaining switched to the Staff so you deal constant range damage. While it doesn't compare to a proper ranged DPS, your rotation still has kill potential for low HP targets.
* This is a secondary shorter rotation if your other abilities are on cooldown or you've used them to catch enemies. Start with {{Skill|Precision Dash|active}} in the direction of the target and then cast it again to teleport to them before using {{Skill|Ascending Slash|active}} to force Prone on your enemy after they got bound.  


{{Skill|Frost Smokescreen|active}}: Is your only movement ability basides {{Skill|Precision Dash|active}} and is your main ability to kite away from bad situations, try to use this defensively! An offensive way of using this could be if it is used after you've done your initial melee burst in order to slow your enemy and switch to your ranged rotation.
* Continue with {{Skill|Guillotine Blade|active}} for high damage before stunning again with {{Skill|Devastating Smash|active}}. Finish off the target using {{Skill|Death Blow|active}} and {{Skill|Judgment Lightning|active}}.


{{Skill|High Locus|Active}}: Use this ability to consistently reduce the cooldowns of your other abilities before starting a rotation. It will also help you catch on to targets and allows you to move away when needing to retreat.
{{Skill|Icebound Tomb|active}}: This is the perfect skill for kiting and catching targets, with a low cooldown and a great bind, it can be used both offensively and defensively while it pairs perfectly with {{Skill|Gaia Crash|active}}.


{{Skill|Ice Spear|Active}}: While this ability is often used as you charge your target, it can still be used to put distance between yourself and your enemies while you wait for your cooldowns to refresh.
{{Skill|High Locus|Active}}: Use this ability to consistently to increase your hit rate and evasion rate. It allows you to bypass a lot of enemy defenses as most Dagger players build high evasion.


{{Skill|Guillotine Blade|Active}}: This ability can only be used when coupled with {{Skill|Stunning Blow|active}} because of it's cast time and while it offers high damage, using it on its own will likely get you killed.
{{Skill|Ice Spear|Active}}: This is a filler skill you should use to deal extra damage from range or to finish off targets.


{{Skill|Icebound Tomb|Active}}: This ability is highly effective for resetting engagements or immobilizing a target to aid in your escape. Its prolonged duration freeze, combined with the lack of any in-game item capable of removing this debuff, makes it incredibly potent in 1v1 encounters and small group PvP. It's particularly effective for neutralizing enemy healers, giving you ample time to focus on other targets if you find yourself in a group PVP scenario.
{{Skill|DaVinci's Courage|Active}}: Use this skill as often as possible to boost your max health and improve your overall damage thanks to your passives.

  • Select Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian; it provides essential protection with its shield, capable of absorbing damage equal to 50% of your mana. This not only aids in mitigating damage but also increases your cooldown speed in order to let you heal more often.
