Best Thief Builds

Thief Skills Build

Recommended Thief Loadout
Biting Wind	Ensnare
Helm Splitter	Shadow Cloak

Here is our recommended loadout for Thieves during your playthrough. Biting Wind will be your bread-and-butter move for dealing insane amounts of damage to enemies. If you're up against flying enemies, use Ensnare to pull them back to the ground.

If you're up against boss monsters, Helm Splitter becomes your go-to move as it deals more damage the larger the enemy is. If you find yourself stuck in a pinch, consider using Shadow Cloak to escape or reposition.

Don't forget to upgrade the skill to their improved versions as you unlock them!

Thief Augment Build

Augment	Vocation / Description
Voracity	Magick Archer Required Rank: 4 Recovers a small amount of Stamina when you deliver the killing blow to a target.
Endurance	Archer Required Rank: 4 Increases your maximum Stamina.
Zeal	Warfarer Required Rank: 6 Reduces the Stamina consumed when performing a weapon skill.
Avidity	Archer Required Rank: 9 Enables you to clamber up cliffs and scale foes and other surfaces more quickly.
Exaltation	Mage Required Rank: 9 Augments your Stamina recovery speed.
Verve	Thief Required Rank: 9 Augments your Strength.

Thieves must focus on stamina and damage as they need to be mobile at all times. The augments listed above focus on maximizing stamina recovery either naturally or by killing enemies.

In addition, we also added augments that allow thieves to scale cliffs - helpful when exploring!

Best Weapons and Armor (End-Game)

Weapon Details
Weapon	STR / MGK	Where to Get
Framae Blades	290 / 0	Obtain from Volcanic Island Armory for 60000G.
Armor Loadout
Armor	Part	Where to Get
Lion-Lord's Helm	Head	Purchase at Volcanic Island Armory for 35000 G.
Bestial Boon	Body	Purchase at Volcanic Island Armory for 42800 G.
Arena Breeches	Leg	Purchase at Volcanic Island Armory for 33100 G.
Accessories
•　 Ring of Quickening (Left Hand) •　 Ring of Skullduggery (Right Hand) •　 Admiral's Mantle (Cloak)

The best endgame equipment for the Archer is bought at the Armory in the Volcanic Island Camp. The build would be able to help you kill Dragons to farm Wyrmslife Crystals and purchase all the strongest post-game equipment from Bay Wayside Shrine.

The weapon to aim for is the Framae Blade then purchase the Lion-Lord's Helm, Bestial Boon, and Arena Breeches armor pieces to amp up your defenses.

Considering Thieves need to dish out a lot of damage from behind and use a lot of skills, we suggest purchasing a Ring of Skullduggery and a Ring of Quickening. This balances out the need to maximize behind-the-back damage and manage stamina in fights.

Thief Pawn Party Composition

Arisen	Main Pawn	Hired Pawn	Hired Pawn
Thief	Mage	Fighter	Fighter

The best party composition for a Thief has their main pawn as a Mage, and hiring two Fighter pawns. If you need more damage, you can dismiss one Fighter pawn and hire a Warrior instead.

The two Fighters would mostly take over the front line duties, making sure they deal damage and take all enemies' attention away as you blink in-and-out of battle from the sidelines. The Mage will then keep the party healed up and imbue them with beneficial effects when they can!

How to Play the Thief

• Avoid Enemy Attacks by Evading
• Follow Up With An Attack When the Enemy is Downed
• Cling To Enemies With Twin Fangs
• Use Ensnare to Deal with Aerial Enemies

Avoid Enemy Attacks by Evading

The Thief is the only starter vocation that has an evade button so use it wisely. Thieves have this insane mobility option and abuse it to go in and out of battle constantly.

Follow Up With An Attack When the Enemy is Downed

When an opponent is down, pressing the Twin Fang button would execute a follow-up attack. This deals a huge amount of damage so consider using it every time. Be careful though, you are not invincible during the animation so time it when there are no enemies near you.

Cling To Enemies With Twin Fangs

When fighting large boss enemies, use Twin Fang to cling onto the monster's skin. You can then do damage while clinging, as long as you have enough stamina. Make sure to let go before your stamina is depleted to avoid catching out of breath.

Use Ensnare to Deal with Aerial Enemies

Thieves have a unique ability that ensnares flying enemies using a long rope. Use this against pesky flying enemies like Harpies and Griffons!
