I was wondering what to do ounce I actually got to the point I had trans'd and I really can't see that Soul Destroyer is worth getting as the main damage of it is based off of Int.

I mean lets fact it, 90 Intelligence gives so much more damage to this skill than 90 Strength that it's pretty laughable. I mean take a look and Compare:

90 Int = 4500 damage that never misses, non element so will do 100% damage to everything including Shadow, Holy and Ghost Monsters. Doesn't matter what equip/weap you are wearing.

90 Str = 900 Damage that can miss like a normal hit. Element Matters so can Either be reduced or increased. But can never be increased more than 200% for elements. Race, Element and Size cards do not add +% damage. Only Right Hand atk affects damage.


Now the long and short of this is if you are going to bother with this skill you are going to want very high Int. The problem that I see is that there is NO Guillotine Cross skills that I can see that will benefit from High Int. They are all Melee improving skills as far as I can tell. This means that the most important skills appear to me to be Strength, Agility and Dexterity. Since you are going to want the first 2 really high I see really no points left for Intelligence. I would rather put excess points into Vit or Luk.


Oh I forgot to add that the 2.8 sec Cast Delay makes this a difficult skill to Spam meaning you are going to get hit a lot.

I think I would really prefer Meteor Assault, esp for a Str/Agi/Dex build. Would be extremely useful.

I got SD for random SP usage when i was killing single targets (not mobbing + GT) and even though i had 1 base INT and only 60ish str and basic equips it still hit for 5.2k, yea i know that isnt really going to 1 shot anything when leveling in the 90's but it helped cut down time on mags, i've now used my 1 free respec to get rid of it though as with the GX skill CI it is useless to have really.. (little more range but... meh..)

I have about 70 str, 0 int and near 88 luk right now, and lv 10 Soul Destroyer does about 4,200 damage to most targets. (lv 91 Assassin cross)

Not at all bad for a skill I'm not even speciallising in, and a lot more handy than Sonic blow.

Luk improves magic attack, so if you want a really powerful SD I suggest investing in both Luk and Int as well as Str.

One slight advantage that SD has over CI is that unlike CI it won't miss a target, so it may be more useful for critical builds who lack the dex necessary to hit with CI all the time.

What about hybrid dual daggers with SD??? SD could be useful mixed with a Clown's Bragi.

If you are pure SD, you are pretty much vulnerable by using only one skill on PvP, WoE.
Yea with bragi SD is godly... until you ran out of SP
Proper DD SD build would drop all katar related skill altogether, you can get MA, SD with other points on other skills like EDP, SD 10 for CI.

I would suggest getting some STR for lvl 4 weapon bonus, 51-71 int, 70+ dex as you will need to hit with the ATK-part.
Still.. would be best to sacrifice all your AGI for a lot more INT and STR, and getting VIT instead of AGI. - Definitely reset

Not a reliable build for anything tbh. Just make a wiz
SD build defies all the regular sin builds. Int-less build still works, just tweek some Int gears, elements, highher upgrades/atk weapons.
