The Weaver Armor Set is the best choice for a rogue build, offering three stacks of Rogue Armor and Dual Slasher that pair perfectly with dual-wielded weapons. With these effects stacking, you'll gain a much higher critical hit chance during 3-hit combos and dual-wield dash strikes.
This setup is purely offensive and focuses on DPS, having less total defense. Focus on precise dodges and perfect parries to minimize incoming damage. These can be crafted after defeating Orb Weavers and analyzing their dropped resources.
Best Weapons for Rogues

|---|---|
 Wolfsbane Fangs
|
Base Tier: Tier III
Handling Type: Dual Wield Damage Type: Slashing Mods: Venom Attack Venom Attack Effect: Attacks buildup venom on hit, dealing damage over time.
|
 Weaver Daggers
|
Base Tier: Tier II
Handling Type: Dual Wield Damage Type: Stabbing |
The best weapon for damage output are the Wolfsbane Fangs, with high base damage, additional Venom Attack damage, and the highest Critical Hit chance, making it the top choice overall. These can be crafted by analyzing resources from Wolf Spiders.
Early on, craft and wield the Weaver Daggers instead, which also have high base damage and strong critical hits for reliable DPS.
Best Trinket for Rogues
| Trinket | Tier and Mods |
|---|---|
 Volatile Capacitor
|
Base Tier: Tier II
Mods: Shock Attack Shock Attack Effect: Adds a flat amount of shock damage to all your melee attacks.
and Haywire Haywire Effect: Charge attack hits against O.R.C. creatures overloads their receivers, unleashing a shocking blast around them. |
The Volatile Capacitor is excellent for melee due to its added shock damage, which increases overall DPS. It’s especially effective against O.R.C. creatures.
Best Mutations for Rogues
| Mutation | Type and Effects |
|---|---|
 Assassin
|
Type: Fighting Styles
Effects: Assassin Assassin Effect: Dash strikes have increased critical hit chance. Dual daggers and sickles deal increased damage on critical hits.
, Dagger Master Dagger Master Effect: Kills with daggers and sickles increase critical hit chance for a short duration.
|
 Ambush
|
Type: Combat Abilities
Effects: Ambush Ambush Effect: Deal critical hits against creatures unaware of your presence.
, Cloak and Dagger Cloak and Dagger Effect: Ambush attacks with daggers greatly increase critical hit damage.
|
Assassin is the clear choice for its synergy with daggers, boosting both critical hit damage and chance. It also grants a temporary buff that further increases critical hit chance on kill, helping you chain kills more easily.
For stealthy burst damage, Ambush is essential for its sneak attack damage increase. A successful sneak attack with a critical hit can one-shot most enemies.
Useful Consumables for Rogues
| Resource | Effect |
|---|---|
 Sticky Liquid Rage
|
Consume for increased attack damage. |
Sticky Liquid Rage can be consumed before combat to further boost your damage output. You can also use it right before striking an unaware enemy to enhance your stealth critical hits even more.
How to Play the Rogue Class
Close Range DPS Build
Stay up close and mobile when fighting enemies. The Rogue excels by stacking critical hit chance and damage, allowing for frequent crit procs with fast dagger combos.
Stealth Attacks for Massive Damage
Start fights with a stealthy dash strike to trigger critical bonuses and maximize burst damage before enemies detect you.
