Guides
Our researched presets. Each guide says why every line is there: the decoded game data, what players report, and what is still an estimate. The Builds page ranks each preset on your own relics.
All
- Sparring Grounds: what to measure Short tests in the Sparring Grounds that settle the model's open numbers. Each one names what it changes.
Duchess
- Duchess: Blood Blade Swap her starting dagger's skill to Blood Blade (3 FP ranged bleed slashes) and mix it with the dagger chain. Reliable: nothing to find but the relic.
- Duchess: Carian Slicer Find the Carian Glintstone Staff and spam Carian Slicer, a 4 FP magic sword swing, with Magic Attack Up and Carian Sword lines on every relic. Restage doubles the burst.
- Duchess: dagger chain and reprise Chain her own dagger's R1s; every chain finisher fires a free 40% Restage, and a status on the dagger turns the replays into procs. High skill, no weapon to find.
- Duchess: skill spam (double Balancers) Press a strong weapon skill over and over, Restage the burst, and let both Balancer relics carry it. The trio meta.
Executor
- Executor: crit Deflect with the Cursed Sword until the boss's stance breaks, then riposte. Crit relics multiply it. A solo build: in trios teammates take the crits.
- Executor: Cursed Sword (Suncatcher) Fight with the Cursed Sword out: deflect to charge the unlocked skill, chain its R1s, and let his skill relic add 35% to every Cursed Sword hit. The default Executor.
- Executor: Dregs Seppuku Seppuku drops you below 85% HP, a curse then keeps a status bar up, and The Night of Dregs ramps to ×1.45. Every self-bleed also fires Tenacity. Glass cannon.
- Executor: Sleep tank Put yourself to sleep on purpose: every wake-up counts as recovering from an ailment, so it fires Tenacity (+20% attack) and a 60 s HP regen. A meme that works.
- Executor: triple-status katana The 2025 standard: poison and frost on top of his katana's bleed. Players say it has fallen out of favor, and the model agrees: it ranks last.
- Executor: Vigor tank Max HP, negation and healing on the lowest-HP melee hero, still with the Cursed Sword relic for damage. For when dying costs the run.
