Suggested build
A starting point worked out from Nais the Shadowthief's own skills - not a hand-tested build. Each line says why it was picked; your gear and team decide the rest. See what stats each champion needs.
PvE
Stat priority
- SPD - More turns means more hits.
- ACC - To land [Stun], [Provoke], [Block Revive] - a resisted debuff does nothing.
- C.RATE - Up to 100%: every crit multiplies the hit.
- C.DMG - How much a crit adds - stack it once C.RATE is near 100%.
- ATK% - The skills' damage scales from ATK.
Gear set combinations
- Ignores DEF on every hit, plus ATK - the all-round damage build.Gives: ATK +15%, Savage effect, Cruel effect
- C.RATE and DEF ignore in one set, with SPD to act more often.Gives: C.RATE +10%, SPD +12%, Lethal effect
- Heals from its own damage - survives long boss fights.Gives: ATK +15%, Lifesteal effect, Cruel effect
- Three 2-piece sets when your 4-piece pieces are weak.Gives: ATK +15%, C.RATE +12%, SPD +12%, Cruel effect
- Keeps the damage and adds ACC for the kit's debuffs.Gives: ACC +40, SPD +5%, Savage effect
