Active Skills Explantion

Cleaving Moonlight, Shadow Strike, Frenzied Sword Dance, and Shield Strike are the build's primary sources of damage with the help from Inject Venom's Lightning Infusion and Brutal Incision's Thunderclouds Bombing specializations.

Chain Hook and Strategic Rush provides a bit of crowd control for the party and also a way to set up other skills.

Camouflage Cloak, Phantom Smokescreen, Counter Barrier, and Stalwart Bastion are the build's utility skills. Camouflage Cloak provides a quick-escape tool when things go bad. Phantom Smokescreen can protect the party for a while by giving them 100% evasion.

Meanwhile, Stalwart Bastion can either provide a defensive buff via Damage Reduction or an offensive buff via the Great Fury specialization. Lastly, Counter Barrier is an indirect source of damage since it performs a counterattack upon evasion against attackers.

Focus on leveling up Inject Venom and Frenzied Sword Dance since they'll be responsible for most of the damage. The rest can be prioritized based on preference.

Passive Skills Explanation

Destructive Fang, Assassin's Instincts, and Warthful Edge improves the build's damage via Defense reductions, Critical Hit, and Critical Damage.

Aegis Shield and Impenetrable provides some durability to the build via Defense boosts. Meanwhile, Skillful Evasion, Assassination Stance, and Resilient Mind go well together since Skillful Evasion increases Evasion while Resilient Mind restores Mana and Health and Assassination Stance decreases Camouflage Cloak's cooldown upon evading attacks.

Focus on leveling up Destructive Fang and Impenetrable first as they provide a good balance of damage and durability. The rest can be prioritized based on preference.

Best Guardian
Green Ranger ElowenGreen Ranger Elowen On Summoning, has an 80% chance to Bind all enemies in a 4m radius for 5s. While Summoned, attacking any targets affected by Bind and Movement Speed Reduction will increase Magic, Melee, and Ranged Critical Hit Chance by 500.

As this build particularly focuses on single-target CC and bursting them down, having a means to bind a cluster of enemies sneakily is a great tool to have in PVP.

After using Shadow Escape to get yourself into the thick of combat, utilize Green Ranger Elowen's 4m radius wide bind for your team to follow up on. Furthermore, you can burst down a single target after doing so since you will gain a 500 increase to your criticals!

You can also opt to change into Lady Knight Kamarshea as a panic button alternative to enemy comps that answer your 1v1 capabilities and possess a high volume of CC.

How to Play Sword and Shield / Dagger Build

Note: If the skills icons are confusing, some of the skill icons indicated here are using their specialized variants.

Assassination Skill Rotation

Great Fury Lightning Infusion Shadow Escape Lightning Infusion (Second Activation)▶ Cleaving Moonlight x2▶ Mad Sword Dance x2▶ Thunderclouds Bombing Shadow Escape (Second Activation)

This is the build's primary damage skill rotation.

Stalwart Bastion's Great Fury specialization and Inject Venom's Lightning Infusion are used to set up the combo before actually striking, increasing Skill Damage and allowing attacks to inflict Thunderclouds, respectively.

Shadow Strike officially initiates the combo, teleporting behind the target and striking it. Upon teleporting, using Lightning Infusion's second activation, and Cleaving Moonlight and Mad Sword Dance twice in quick succession will deal a ton of damage. Afterwards, Brutal Incision's Thunderclouds Bombing consumes all the Thundercloud stacks and deals the final blow.

Lastly, using Shadow Strike's Shadow Escape specialization allows for a quick escape.

Thunderclouds Spread Skill Rotation

Camouflage Cloak Lightning Infusion Chain Hook (Optional)▶ Strategic Rush Piercing Attack

This skill rotation uses crowd control and area attacks to inflict multiple enemies with Thundercloud.

Camouflage Cloak gives ample time to find a good position to initiate the combo. After finding a spot, Chain Hook allows for one more target to get caught in the combo, although, it's entirely optional. Strategic Rush pushes bunched-up enemies towards a spot or a wall, controlling their movement and setting them up for Piercing Attack.

All targets hit by Chain Hook, Strategic Rush, and Piercing Attack gets inflicted with Thunderclouds.
