Assassin/Ninja I Need A Lage Game Assassin Build

i just finished lvling my assassin from 1-101 in 40 hours and now i need a build i can put in it and run li and
ive done hive toa and the other main quest
No real preferences between melee and spell what ever can do a lot of damage.

Currently leaning to https://www.wynndata.tk/s/ghsS7y

YY's saw tooth build

 

That's pretty good, although it will struggle against rainbow defense mobs like Plague Doctor and Robob.

Here's a quick mock-up I put together: https://wynndata.tk/s/f8mjNY If you come up against something resistant to Thunder you can use Sitis as a water secondary or just abuse weaknesses with Sawtooth. It will also still be easier to acquire after the upcoming Morph nerf.

If you want to try it, Black/Sitis dual-wield is a good option - the latter covers anything resistant to the former pretty well, and they both get massive damage, although you usually have to use hybrid to make them work.

 

thank you so much i got a couple questions

1. you said use sawtooth to abuse weaknesses so should i carry hive sitis and saw?
2. could you link me a duel wield build cuz ive had a few people recommend it to me and i wanna take a look

again thanks alot for the help

 

On second thought, Black and Sitis should be enough to deal with everything in LI.

Here's a decent dual-wield that I came up with: Black, Sitis Both make use of mana steal heavily, using Atlas to maximize spellcasting time by minimizing the time needed for melee, with Black further utilizing Chain Lightning for the same. Nether's Scar conveniently cuts out Sitis' negative raw health regen (although the loop around doesn't work unfortunately). Damage is about 1.5k spins less than a typical build, but it's quite difficult to die with this build - you might even survive a few Cybel hits. I can make a glassier version if you'd like, although I'm not the best with those.

 

hey so is there any good replacement for detective ring?
i feel hurt

yjis work?

 

oof

use Reminder or something idk.

 

im buying a 7 int reminder hope its not to big of a difference

 

hey so i made the build but could i get a quick rundown on how it works? like should i be spamming spells i tried bronze and lost to the 3rd boss i see to not get enough mana to spam abilitys

 

Melee every time you get a chance (Super Slow means less time spent meleeing = more time for spells), and use Chain Lightning regularly (which will almost always completely refill your mana, unless it's against a single opponent). Between those two you shouldn't struggle for mana, particularly with 105 Int. You'll have to conserve mana more with Sitis since it generally has lower mana steal and you won't have Chain Lightning. I recommend something like Spin-Smoke-Spin-Spin-Multihit as a cycle, keeping the boss up against the wall and maneuvering around minions as needed (and of course pause for melee and to activate Chain Lightning as needed as needed). Throw the smoke bomb slightly up against the wall so it still takes effect while Multihit is running. You should be able to get about 15k dps or so, if you use that once per cycle, and in general you should be able to sustain much the same as if you had around 8/4s mana regen (on average - mana steal being chance-based you might get unlucky, but it's uncommon). You can heal with health pots, although if you don't want to do that you could hold a Gibyeong or whatever, Vanish and run away, and put on Amulet of Rejuvenation for a bit.

That said, I've never personally played mana steal Assassin, I'm just going off of the theoretical foundation of the build and observations of YYGAMER's LI runs.

Getting to Corkus Accipientis on first try is fine, that's as far as I got. After a few dozen runs, you'll probably be able to reach Cybel consistently (which is the most anyone can really hope to manage consistently, given how Cybel is - I can beat him about half the time). That said, on my third full attempt (after 2 full runs) I lost to Mummyboard - anything can happen in LI.
