Returning player and wanted to know best stat build and path and best gear with how much it would cost if possible, thx
For stats, generally you can go with max INT>CRT>STR. Add enough DEX to reduce SD of backstab depending on the SD of your gears. Tbh adding more DEX will be quite beneficial due to clean hit, which is pretty op. So personally I wouldn't be too stingy with adding stat points into DEX. You can also add enough AGI to get max aspd or some VIT so you don't get outright squashed by certain bosses.
Sorry can't really say much about gear since I don't really use meta equips
But I'll say what I know.
Afaik all the ele throws with Sauro II for weaps (don't ask me what are all the ele throws because idk that)
All I know for ele throw is neutral you can use Eventail. You can get 2s if you have the money. I think it's the cheapest 2s ele throw you can get. Can't remember how much I saw it for but I'll say roughly around 10G? (don't quote me on this). 1s should be very affordable.
Another alternative if you don't wanna collect all the elements would be to use Calamity, although ele throws would be much stronger. You can find a slotted one on stall. However, you won't be able to trigger stun with this weap if you use it for the first backstab. 2s I saw 150G rip. (see the thread on
"strongest non-elemental backstab weapon" if you wanna see some discussions about this throw
)
Armour: Wandering Clothes (I see it's about 1.3G for slotted). Slot it with Aldi (or Ideaus? I prefer Aldi tho). NS 300m.
I don't use it but I've seen this armour is hella op. I think even NS can outdamage many 1s armours.
Additional you can use the various elements as well and slot it with elemental xtals. Some add gear that I can remember off the top of my head: Wrath Rebate (wind), Failwind (wind & water), Pratzen (dark), Dark Heagear (light), Schmuck (neutral)
I know Wrath Rebate 2s is about 7G so imma assume the other add gears are around there too? Maybe not. But if you're going for 1s, I can't say the price but it shouldn't be too expensive (although maybe for a returning player, it might be since the economy skyrockets like mad)
Some might also recommend Force Helm 2s (if you can afford, idk pc) and get Force Helm + ele xtals for each element. Force Helm gives pretty good resistance and decent atk and crt. Or switch Force Helm for Barbarotita, which also has decent atk and high SD. Barbarotita 2s maybe around 4G.
If you're lazy/poor/bag too full to get 1 for each element, you can get just one 2s Force Helm/Barba and stick 2 Ideaus on it, although this might not be the strongest option.
Spec? No idea xD Wild Ring??
An xtal you can put if you have a slotted spec is maybe Ideaus or Starmuncher. Starmuncher is more pricey though and the extra stats might not benefit assassins as much (hp, magic res)
The price of some xtals:
Sauro II (weapon) 1.4G-1.8G (sometimes 2G)
Aldi (armour) 200-300M
Ideaus (arm/add/spec) 200-250M
Starmuncher (spec) 600-800M
I hope I'm not feeding you lousy info. I personally don't use much of any of the equips as I'm a masochistic suicidal weirdo that's prolly gonna cry about my equips when I reach higher ep bosses.
Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken anywhere
But I'll say what I know.
