The Soul Breaker
The Soul Breaker
Welcome to another Edition of the Assassin Guide to the Universe!
The Soul Breaker Builds came about due to the server merge that happened in CN server.
So lets begin!
The Basics:
Soul Breaker is a ranged skill that enables Assassins alike to farm effectively from a far.
It is neutral and can be paired with a converter and cards. Secondly, tread lightly as this isn't something you should do if you have less that 24 gold badges and 23250 contributions.
The Formula for max Soul Breaker goes as follows
Physical Attack * 720% + ((Intellect * 70) + Random Damage(Intellect*5(Minimum), Intellect*50 (Maximum)))
The Formula above is split into two parts:
1. Physical Attack
2. Int + Random Damage
Now for Physical attack this is not ignore def by default. Hence, getting gear that does ignore def helps this portion of the damage.
i.e Rose Princess Bracer, Ancient Cape, Nut on Head, and gears that are enchanted with ignore defense.
The Int + Random Damage portion however is already ignoring defense, hence it would be easy to assume that most if not all will be more reliant on buffing this portion of the formula.
So ADD MORE INT AND BE A SMART ASSassin. =D
Stats:
Max Int (Priority)
90 dex total (removal of cast time)
Rest Str
Since you are hitting from a far survival isn't an aspect that you should be worried, but there are ways to augment it since there are the mercenary cats. I would suggest going for the tank cat.
As for gear, many are confused by this portion, please note that it doesn't matter what gear you use for Soul Breaker, but for beginners, please prioritize getting a 2 slot fortune sword.
As for the runes for Soul Breaker, you will need to prioritize the following runes:
1. Soul Breaker Skill Delay 4 runes - removes 1 second skill delay total
2. Soul Breaker Random Damage 5 runes - adjusts the random damage upper and lower limits by 100%
In terms of numbers well this is 57750 contribution and 144 gold badges: (This is Complete)
SBK Full Skill Delay + Min Max Damage
Now for bare bones Minimum of Soul Breaker you will need at least 24 gold badge and 23250 contributions. This will activate the first rune for Soul Breaker Minimum and Maximum Damage.
Bare Bones Minimum SBK Rune
Now I bet you are thinking we are done? Nooooooooooooooooppppppppeeee!
The Last priority for Soul Breaker in terms of runes are the INT to Damage Runes.
The Rune path below is the full runes this adds 5 runes for INT to Damage.
Per 1 int to damage rune adds 6 damage per int for a total of 30 damage per 1 int.
Full SBK Rune Path
Now for its use case scenarios, Soul breaker in general is recommended for maps that require you to run far.
Once you start grinding at level 88 above you will pretty much end up at the following monsters.
88-108 Punks (Wind/Small/Plant) 52k HP
98-118 Cookies (Neutral/Small/Demi Human) 89k HP
96-116 Brilight (Fire/Small/Insect) 88k HP
92-122 Christmas Cookies (Holy/Small/Demi Human) 87k HP
Now I listed above their elements and types and this will be the normal way to grind them.
Punks - Double Mandragora Card, Enchant Poison or Earth Converter
Cookies - Double Hydra Cards, Enchant Poison
Brilight - Double Vadon, Enchant Poison or Water Converter
Christmas Cookies - Double Hydra
Since they are all small if you have Desert wolves these will go a long way, and if you lack damage do not be shy to go ahead and EDP.
If you will attempt the above, well I'm pretty sure you would want to know how do you sustain SP anyway.
1. What I normally do since i am a cheapo grinder is either equip a nightmare card or giearth card on headgear and simply trick dead.
2. The more efficient way however is to stack at least 150k sp discharge in calories this is done by cooking 999 poring apple and eating that food.
3. You can also opt to add more sp regen or increase max sp to fully maximize your grind like having geffen t3 shoes with eggyra card, having incubus card in headgear.
Either way all these methods are good.
PVP and WOE:
In PVP and WOE, Soul Breaker Misses if you lack hit points, this is normal as long as the skills specifically state that they ignore flee, assume that all are subjected to hit checks as well.
The next question people will ask is how do they fair in PVP, WOE or Even Boss hunting, well this isn't a skill that I would use for those scenarios, as one you miss, two you have rarely any survival, and three the minute you hit Soul Breaker from a hidden state, the hidden state is released.
So yep, probably just do this for grinding.
Oh well, guess that's all I have to say about this.
Enjoy the game and have fun!
-----THE END OF SOUL BREAKER? Well till GX that is. =P ------
