Skill texts, cooldowns and book upgrades are the game's own. "Damage" is the skill's multiplier (for example 4×ATK = four times this champion's ATK, before the target's DEF) - see how damage works.

Suggested build

A starting point worked out from Skirmisher'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

  1. SPD - More turns means more hits.
  2. C.RATE - Up to 100%: every crit multiplies the hit.

  4. ATK% - The skills' damage scales from ATK.

Gear set combinations

Blessings

  • Lightning Cage - Rewards teams that fight buffed enemies and gives any attacker a steady source of extra damage.
  • Brimstone - Damage that scales from the target's MAX HP and punishes enemies for using skills; guaranteed at the top level.
  • Life Harvest - A counter to revives: only useful against enemies that can come back.

Relics

  • Hammer of Ending - A hard hit can add a guaranteed 1-turn [Stun]; works on ordinary enemies, not on bosses that cannot be stunned.
  • Diabolical Dice - Can lengthen an enemy skill's cooldown before a single-target attack, and hits harder while enemy skills are cooling down.
  • Gaze of Damnation - Hits harder against enemies under [Fear] or [True Fear], so it needs a kit that places them.
