Build help for Sapper archer

I want. To make a Sapper build and read that it’s a Str based class so was wondering what works well for a Str based archer which would include Sapper ?

I thought archer c2 - Sapper c2 - wug c2 - canon c1

But then thought having 1 scout for stealth would be nice so would 1 rouge for capture .

Soo any advice would be great , I plan to pve mostly but pvp would be nice to do aswell

Is there anyone who could give me any advice to a new player ?

Here’s a simple guide of what skills you need for archersapper>sapper.
The rest classes are personal preference.

Also don’t go full str,your traps can crit as well,find the best ratio that works for you and go from there,
Good luck.

You know, I used to prefer going Ranger C3, but nowadays I’m starting to feel much more inclined to go for a Sapper build.

I’d say go 3:1 STR:DEX & CON when you need it, no higher than 30

Then my next question after that is if traps can crit , what about pug poisons and canon skills ?

Is it worth going into them after Sapper or is it better to go utility skills that help my Sapper skills like scout for conceal and rogue for capture etc ??

Is conceal needed when placing traps sucesfully? Or is it just good for pvp ? And I’m guessing rogues capture is just for pvp ?

What other aoe classes compliment a Sapper in the 5,6,7 tiers ?

Could Falcons c2 work with Sapper using the hawk to circle my traps in pve ? And using dive bomb and other aoes on top of the traps ?

You could go for Sapper C2>Rogue>Scout/Falconer>Cannoneer
With Rogue C1, you could capture your broom trap then you would have double broom trap to cast(or capture another traps too like punji stake or stake stockades, iirc you can’t capture claymore(need to test though))
and have sneak hit which gives you insane crit rate(idk hows the crit works for traps, maybe you need to stay behind the boss, so it increases the crit rate on the traps, need testing too)
and vendetta/feint
there no synergy between feint with any of sapper’s skills(if they do, we didn’t discover it yet)
so you may wanna go vendetta, which gives you and for your party bonus str if you kill the target

Scout - Cloaking - Good for PvP and for moving across the map without taking damage, also has a nice attribute
Flare Shot - A nice single target damage with a long duration dps
Fluflu - only for pve, it has a long cooldown, not worth getting beyond lvl1
camouflage - good skill if you are on low hp and need to escape

Falconer - Circling which reduces target aoe’s defense ratio, so you can make multishot an aoe skill, really nice with sapper’s skills
Hanging Shot - a nice tool when you don’t have your traps up and you want to do damage from a safe spot

Cannoneer - has a nice scaling and insane basedamage, with 2 skills with 5 sec cd and 2 skills with 25/30 sec cd, all aoe

you could drop here wugushi C2 too, it has a nice single target damage which you will lack later on the game(if you pick cannoneer, and you can’t rely on multishot forever), and some aoe too

Ahhhh sooo many choices :confused: thanks for the good info though helps a lot I only have 3 levels after Sapper wug you would need c2 right and same with falcon ?

If wugushi circles aren’t that mandatory, you can always get two of the fletcher’s.
It looks smth like that a2-s2-fl2-c1. Made this one for meself, stats would be ~50 CON, 50 DEX (maybe 75 or 100, not sure yet) with rest points put in STR.
Edit: this one is for PvE tho.

So as far as I can best work out it would either be

Arc c2 - sap c2 - Falc c2 - canon c1

Or

Arc c2 - sap c2 - scout c1 - rog c1 - canon c1

I could go for arc c2 - sap c2 - Falc c2 - scout c1

But that would mean missing out on a tier 7 class which seems like a loss

But I’m just not sure which will work out more useful

Falconer is a rank 6 class

Ok so it would have to be

Arc c2 - sap c2 - scout c1 - Falc c2

But loosing that high damage of tier 7 would it be worth it ?

Would the Falc c 2 skull dive bomb and such make up for the loss of damage from canon c1 ?

not worth
just go any of rank 7 class

unless rank 8 come before

Ok thanks for the info.

Arc c2 - sap c2 - scout c1 - rog c1 - t7

Now I was originally going canon for the aoe but someone mentioned lack of single target ?

Would musket be a better choice then canon for this build ? Or would it be better to go canon ?

Would canons lower CDs pay off better for there spam ability even on a single target ?

Also you mentioned wug c2 aswell ?
Would that fit in after Sapper well ?

with wugushi you would have your single target damage
musketeer is good for burst/single target damage too
you have to plan your build really well

Yeah I realise how in depth you have to plan your build which I love but also means lots of questions hehe

So with musket I could time my musket burst with my traps going off right ? But traps being primalary aoe means musket burst would be limited ? And are traps worth laying for solo mobs ?

Would canon offer just as much burst as musket ? And their skills being all aoe ? Canons aoe skills can they be used effectively as single target ?

And wug c2 also gets throw pot right ? Is that a good skill to lay down with traps ? And also you said gives good single target damage I’m guessing with poisons ?

As musketeer you have better burst damage while on cannoneer you have better aoe damage/dps
yeah cannoneer can outdamage musketeer if you use cannon shot in a window of 25 seconds(snipe cd) thats why musketeer does high damage but have a high cooldown(well thats why we call burst damage)
yeah wugushi is great with sapper, he has a nice single target damage because his poison does dps
