Best PvP Builds
For ranked fights, 1v1s, and open world PvP
The Untouchable Assassin
A popular PvP-focused setup in this site's planner. Time Erase supports resets and repositioning, Boxing extends punish windows after successful reads, and Vampire adds sustain in longer trades.
Why This Works
- ✓ Time Erase supports safe re-engages
- ✓ Counter windows convert well into Boxing follow-ups
- ✓ Vampire sustain helps in longer trades
The Speed Demon
A mobility-heavy setup built around Made in Heaven's movement tools. Acceleration helps you pressure or disengage quickly, Kendo adds a clean follow-up option, and Vampire helps smooth out extended skirmishes.
Why This Works
- ✓ Very high movement ceiling
- ✓ Comfortable hit-and-run pressure
- ✓ Kendo follow-ups punish overcommits
The CC Machine
A control-oriented setup that this site tags as a strong PvP option. Disc Extraction and Acid Rupture create disruption windows, while Boxing and Hamon give you a straightforward follow-up plan.
Why This Works
- ✓ Multiple disruption tools
- ✓ Works across mid and close range
- ✓ Hamon helps sustain pressure
Best PvE / Farming Builds
For quest grinding, boss farming, and leveling
The AoE Farmer
A PvE-oriented farming suggestion built around wide-area pressure. Weather Report covers groups well, Karate adds another AoE layer, and Hamon is used here as a simple damage-focused support pick.
Why This Works
- ✓ Good area coverage
- ✓ Crowd-control friendly move set
- ✓ Comfortable for mission clearing
The Budget Farmer
A lower-commitment farming suggestion for earlier accounts in the site's planner. Magician's Red provides AoE options, Boxing gives a simple close-range backup, and Hamon keeps the setup straightforward.
Why This Works
- ✓ Accessible move kit
- ✓ Crossfire Hurricane adds AoE reach
- ✓ Straightforward damage-focused support
The Solo Boss Killer
A single-target focused suggestion for players who like burst windows. Time Stop creates setup space for Knives and Kick Volley, Boxing covers downtime, and Vampire adds sustain between openings.
Why This Works
- ✓ Strong burst windows
- ✓ Time Stop creates reliable setup space
- ✓ Vampire helps in longer solo attempts

- ✓ Kick Volley converts Time Stop windows well
- ✓ Vampire softens the sustain tradeoff
The Bleed Assassin

A balanced sustain suggestion built around Stone Free's utility. String Trap and ranged thread pressure help control pace, while Vampire supports longer fights.
