2 Set Effect: +0.1% Precision Rate
4 Set Effect: After a Light Attack/Airborne Light Attack, Heavy Attack/Airborne Heavy Attack damage is increased 12%, lasting 10 seconds. The reverse is also true. Particularly, after a Heavy Attack/Airborne Heavy Attack Light Attack Charged Attack damage is increased 12%.

2 Set Effect: +13 Physical Defense
4 Set Effect: A Perfect Dodge of an enemy attack has a 50% chance of restoring 3% of your Max HP and 10 Endurance.

This pure ranged build is best-suited for players who want to play a hybrid, sub-DPS that's focused on control and kiting. Mortal Rope's control-leaning playstyle sets up Vernal Umbrella for its ranged attacks. The only caveat of this build is that it's not best for beginners, however, once you've gotten the hang of it, it becomes one of the best builds in the game!

4 Set Effect: Reduces damage taken by 5%. When HP falles below 60%, futher reduces damage taken by 1% for every 10% HP lost, stacking up to 5 times.

This build highlights Infernal Twinblades' assault damage and Rope Dart's Rodent Rampage which amps up your damage output by a lot. Infernal Twinblades' fast attack speed allows for multiple triggers of Rope Dart's martial arts, further amplified by Swallowcall's 4-pc set effect!

Best Rope Dart Substats

Recommended Substats for Sub-DPS

Substats for Rope Dart and Vernal Umbrella
Min Physical Atk
★★★★★
Min Physical attack is one of the best stats to prioritize when running Rope Dart, since it's related to Agility stats which you should maximize when you plan on maining this weapon!
Max HP
★★★★★
Max HP is another great stat to prioritize solely for survivability, since it's one of the weakpoints of this build, most particularly in PVE situations.
Defense
★★★★
Just like with Max HP, increasing your defense also increases your survivability, however we recommend going for max HP first whenever you can, and slot in defense stats secondarily.

Recommended Substats for DPS

Substats for Rope Dart and Infernal Twinblades
Affinity Ratio
★★★★★
Due to both weapons' impressive attack instances, Affinity is the best stat to prioritize when using Rope Dart in a DPS build with Infernal Twinblades!
Crit Ratio
★★★★★
Increasing your crit ratio further increases your damage output primarily because of your multiple attack instances, and also because Agility (what increases Crit) also increases your Min Physical atk!
Min Physical Atk
★★★★
In relation to your Agility, Min Physical Atk is another great option to prioritize if you don't have good crit-related stats to have. We placed Min Physical Atk as a great alternative in place of Crit, because prioritizing Agility also increases both stats!
