Optimized Spellblade

[STINBEAN]

I've heard of an op build where you do a ton of damage but I don't know how it works. Can someone help me out? Stats, items, good companions, powers, class would be great.

This is the best guide I could find

I might not be the best source but from what my experiences are, (for now) the most powerful build is a spellblade thief, the tweaked one the person who's beat kass at winter palace multiple times, sorry forget his name, made. charge weapon, triple threat, sure shot, eviscerate, unbreakable, c petal and kunai (to apply bleed) then swap kunai for sanctified gladius so you get your passive activated and have more damage output from the gladius. unbreakable to ensure even if your entire party is nuked you live, sennenbari belt for a second chance, and just enough time to do your combo ensures at least the possibility to near one shot anything, and the survivability to do so. just minimal aoe, but besides kass party should be able to do that. ag str and cunning, with drinks if needed. you can also swap around weapons if needed to exploit weaknesses, which circles to original question.

Like whats the combo?

Seeing that it has petal, it might not work anymore since petal has been nerfed.

Could you suggest me a dps build? I can be squishy I just want to nuke things. I also heard grease fireball is good but I'd rather use a weapon.

I've been going through the wiki planning one but it seems pretty outdated

If you don't mind going Kitsune or a little bit of save editting, I recommend doing a "Blue Flame Blade" build; with "Grease", a power that strikes multiple enemies and an encounter power you like. Go for "Strength", "Agilty" and "Willpower" and as for a weapon you can either go for something with good crit or spellpower, your choice. This build struggles with some bosses and strong solo enemies but you'll shred through most other encounters like hot knife(heh) through butter, even on "Dark Mode".

Sweet! That sounds perfect I'm gonna do that. What class should i be? Grease is trainable so what would the best perks be? Twist the knife to work with grease?

Thanks for the suggestion!

Do I have to be soulbound to keros?

I typically use Power Wave with Galon's Griefmaker or Ashelander + Bull Totem and pair that with Dastardly Trick so that I can alternate big single target damage hits, good for dealing with bosses if you want to focus on single target damage. The other encounter power can be something like Primal Scar or Fireball, just whatever lets you kill off any stragglers or up the damage on your main target. Eventually Dastardly Trick gets replaced with Dawnbreak which is AOE, but that's at the end of current content. Same Strength, Agility, Willpower focus and doesn't require anything else in terms of race or class, just gotta copy Power Wave off those forest kitsune. I used to run Bessy Mauler + Sure Shot but then crit got nerfed so that probably doesn't work anymore.

Yeah, unless you want to save edit like I said. Also for class you should go Thief for Twist the Knife. You should also get the level 7 Thief perk that increases the duration of the debuffs you inflict, otherwise you won't be able to take advantange of Grease against enemies with multiple moves per turn, which I find really annoying.

I used to have a similar build but I also used *Nerves of Steel" with it. I tried it again recently and it felt very lackluster to say the least.

Why do you use strength instead of cunning? Would you just drink the cunning drink?

 

[A1teros]

Blue Flame Blade is dependent on Spellpower and weapon attacks are dependent on Strength, then you take Agility so you have more turns/go first. Cunning gives you Crit Chance and Crit Dmg along with Ward and Magic Resist, so it's a good drink choice but in order for your crits to be worth anything, you need to be doing damage in the first place.

Awesome thank you!

Because of how attacking is coded in CoC2, accuracy increases critical strike chance as well; so going cunning isn't all that useful outside of some critical hit damage increase which is outshined by Twist the Knife anyways.
