A/any Shadow Faux

Last-modified: 2007-04-24 (火) 11:34:42

This build combines Unseen Fury with the blindness inflicting skills Temple Strike and Blinding Powder, preventing enemies from evading or blocking your attacks. It uses unblockable Lead and Off-Hand attacks to make sure you can successfully inflict the required blind. As Temple Strike also dazes the target, it is particularly effective against casters.

Variants

Leaping Mantis Sting can be used in place of Golden Fox Strike, but it sacrifices the unblockable combo.
Fox Fangs can be replaced with Jungle Strike for more damage.
Twisting fangs can be replaced (although not recommended) with Blades of Steel or Critical Strike.

 

Equipment

Nightstalker's Armor
Zealous Dagger Of Fortitude is preferable, although Silencing and Of Defense are also effective.

 

Usage

Engage your target with Golden Fox Strike, then follow up with either Temple Strike (casters) or Fox Fangs (physical attackers). If Fox Fangs was chosen cast Blinding Powder as needed, and get into the Unseen Fury stance simultaneously. Follow that up with a Twisting Fangs and an additional Golden Fox Strike, along with the alternative offhand attack to continue damage and blinding if needed.
