hey all, just wondering whats best for rk specialisation. should i go with ib+bb build w/ 2h quicken or db build with brandish for best results? i want to max dps as much as possible but not lose solo survivability & ive seen a few hybrid builds that seem alright. at preset im a lv94 knight with str 65 agi 46 vit 85 int 1 dex 45 luk 20 in uncarded eden gear so im trying to plan for transcendent. still very squishy at this point but i assume with gear thatll change. anyway, any tips would be most appreciated. cheers :)

DB build to level. Then after you max, you can reset to whatever build you like, hybrid etc..

BB is powerful also, both 1Hsword,2Hsword, and spear can use BB. i use BB n DB to ~130.

About RK builds   It's depend on budget  

 

 

DB build is the greatest build / meta build   but come with  the build is expensive  to be effective 

(Fafnir , Red Baby Dragon hat , Temporal Ring + SOL EA4 Temp Dex + TGL   etc.) 

 

if you're lacks of delay reduction gears   it's difficult to leveling alone as DB RK   because of long delay    also you need to keep full HP for maximum DB dmg 

 

and early levels  RK have low SP pool 

(especially who lacks of good gears  , Reset to 120 Dex  60 Vit  at Lv.100 after get maxed one of two element DB)

DB cost a lot of SP   and will run out of your SP in a few use....    

 

 

 

 

 

BB/IB is the second to recommend

 

IB focus main expensive gear is weapon   and headgear

 (especially Lv. 170  using Bio5 hat  need to spend luck on high refine and Mettle enchant)

 

There's recommend effective Weapon for IB  is +10  Red Twin Edge  (A.K.A   RTE)  1H Sword and   Gelerdria 1H Spear  

and put True Seyren cards on it 

 

both weapons have  3 slots  and Lv.4    and should be at least +10 for full benefit of True Seyren cards  (60% IB dmg  x3  = 180%) 

 

* Poison Forged is the another recommend  3 slots  1H Spear too but the price is very expensive 

if you want 3 slots Lv.4 weapon  for True Seyren  card   better stick with  RTE or Gelerdria  

 

About Lv.4     2H Sword  There's only 2 best 2H Swords  for True Seyren card      Violet Fear and Lindy Hop   

but both of them have only 2 slots     and I think 2H Sword for physical RK are better for Normal atk Crit / Crush Strike build  

 

and you're leveling by mobbing  and killing them with melee AOE skill  I prefered one handed weapon + shield  at least can take less damage from mobs

 

 

RTE vs Gelerdria 3x Seyrens   which weapon better  it's up to you 

 

RTE = The sword itself is Cheap  (+0 No enchant is around 30m   ,  +10 no enchant 1.? b )    

       Fire Element by default  that's boost IB dmg  (while other weapon need Fire Converter) 

       If you have other class such as  Shadow Chaser  copy IB  to leveling   yeah ... this one is fine

 

Gelerdria =  Drake effect  (100% all size)  when riding Dragon  

but the price is expensive   (+0   1b ??   +10   2.? b )   people keep overpricing it because

high demand on RGs combining with True Randel cards  :< 

 

 

 

 

 

Downside of IB is  it's not spammable      it's 2 seconds cooldown  so you should use BB when your IB is on cooldown 

 

there's the recommend item to boost your BB dmg is Toy Ring    wear 2x Toy Rings will give you better BB dmg 

 

your IB>BB combo will killing mobs faster 

 

 

PS.  You can go BB main build continue leveling from LK

(and pick IB as secondary skill  to work when you failed your BB because of Gutter line   or even pick DB on late game is not bad at all) 

 

 if you can't afford True Seyren cards   

 

3x Sword Guardians  RTE

 

  (or 3x Hunterfly RTE for leech to save a lot of pots  and can share with other character such as Gene)

 + Any shield with Reduction card       2x Toy Rings    are the cheapest way to starting with RK

thank you all for the tips. im poor so will be farming for a while. my preference is 2h sword & 2h spear. i can see that theres many equally viable options. really i just want to be able to go anywhere & not have to worry if a boss or mvp shows up or whether theres like 100 mobs coz being squishy sucks. of course it would be fun to be able to farm high level instances as well.
