Crossbow + Dagger PvP Assassin Build
- High Burst
- 1vsX potential
- Excellent Solo Class
- High Skill Ceiling
- Squishy
- Underwhelming in group PVP
Overview
Crossbow and Dagger PvP build with the highest damage potential in the game, offering remarkable damage output and lethal capabilities. It enables you to triumph in 1vsX encounters, adeptly maneuvering in and out of combat to dispatch foes before swiftly moving on to the next target.
Attributes
Focus on leveling Dexterity as your primary stat until it reaches 30, then shift attention to Perception, aiming for it to also reach 30. Any remaining points should be allocated to Wisdom. Although Wisdom primarily aids in mana regeneration and doesn't significantly boost damage, it still offers a slight damage increase and helps mitigate the mana-intensive nature of the build.

Your top priority for upgrading should be Quick Fire and
Mortal Mark, as they are fundamental to your combo, alongside
Knife Throwing. Subsequently, focus on enhancing
Shadow Strike,
Brutal Incision, and
Inject Venom in that order.

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.

Crossbow: Allocate 9 points into Chain Fire to boost your raw damage output and enhance your kill potential. Allocate the remaining 3 points into Move to extend your range slightly and amplify your damage further.
Dagger: Opting for Assassination for your Dagger is crucial, as it grants a notable damage increase. Distribute the remaining 3 points into Poison to introduce a chance for weakening effects and add extra damage to your arsenal.

- This rotation serves as your primary kill sequence. While you can initiate from within
Camouflage Cloak, it's more effective for escaping and resetting the fight. The rotation is simple: start with
Inject Venom after activating
Thorn Gale if it isn't on cooldown. Use
Shadow Strike to close the distance on your enemy, then apply
Mortal Mark to reduce their resistances. Follow up with
Brutal Incision for high damage, then execute
Quick Fire,
Knife Throwing, and
Wind Snatcher to rapidly deplete their HP.
Recoil Shot serves to finish off targets as you reposition, but it can also be used to dispatch low HP targets outside your main rotation.

- This shorter rotation is designed to handle low HP targets efficiently without using all of your abilities, yet still capable of delivering significant damage quickly.
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.
Useful Information
- Choose Lady Knight Kamarshea as your guardian because it offers crucial defense and cooldown speed enhancement. This guardian provides essential protection through its shield, which absorbs damage equivalent to 50% of your mana. While the shield is active, you also benefit from a 40% Cooldown Speed boost. It's vital to preserve the shield for as long as possible to extend the duration of the increased cooldown speed. Keep in mind that the guardian will be lost if the shield is depleted, so exercise caution in its usage.
- For gear you want to get the Reaper Set as its currently Best in Slot armor set for DPS but it also gives you a lot of dexterity and perception.
- When it comes to weapons,
Queen Bellandir's Annihilation Crossbow stands out as the superior choice. With each critical hit, it applies a potent poison to your target, dealing substantial damage. Alternatively,
Rex Chimaerus's Rake Bow is another viable option, offering additional dexterity and damage. While the healing effect is minimal, it can prove beneficial in specific circumstances.
Lequirus's Thorny Edge presents a relatively accessible option, granting extra damage after utilizing
Shadow Strike. Alternatively,
Kowazan's Twilight Blade proves to be a decent choice for increased damage during the night.
Rex Chimaerus's Fang also stands out, offering a substantial boost of 8 dexterity, translating to significant additional damage.
- The strength of this build lies in its ability to excel when flanking in every fight. It's particularly adept at solo engagements, even against multiple targets simultaneously. However, it falters in main group fights due to its lack of defensive capabilities and limited single-target potential in such scenarios. Nevertheless, it can serve effectively as a defensive assassin against enemies who may overextend or attempt to disrupt your group.
