Sword C2 > BarbC2 > CorC2 > Shinobi is fine i guessā¦however, this build is not fully utilizing the bunshin clones in full potential, theoretically speaking.
Since Warcry, Frenzy, Concentrate, and Gung Ho can be stacked with Kunai Skill. It deals more damage but thatās just it.
Whereas if you go to this build, SwordC3 > BarbC1 > CorC2 > Shinobi this has synergy as well. this goes well with the double slash + bunshin combo.
Imagine, if and only if the newly improved version of Cleave skill will be implemented to iTOS (since it is still implemented on kTOS), Cleave deals debuff to enemies, then +50% additional damage to slash type damages, and +50 Crit rateā¦deals additonal damage to stunned enemies as well. Double Slash is a Slash type damageā¦
Cyclone benefits to Cleave as well since Cyclone is a Slash-Type Damage. This build in my opinion is more on utilizing the Double Slash.
So, the combo could be like this:
go for Katon for stealth modeā¦then bunshin near the enemy then use cleave to hit the enemy, the double slashā¦Double slash skill can be copied by Bunshin clones as well and its OVERHEAT and it has attribute skill that has a chance to have critical hit. Then, use Kunai Skill.
If you go for this build: SwordC3 > HopC2 > Dopple > Shinobiā¦
there is a synergy as wellā¦This utilize the Spear lunge skill to amplify any Pierce-type damage skills/attacks.
From what i heard from Kusgan, Bunshin Clones can replicate the skill Pierce of Hoplite.
Deeds of Valor and Finestra stacks on Kunai too.
This build is more on bunshin clones usefulness, and crit chances of Kunai skill and damage as well.
Double slash has a synergy with Piece Skill since pierce has an attribute about having a skill chance to have bleeding on the targeted enemy.
So, the combo will be like thisā¦
Katon 1st then go near the enemy then cast your bunshinā¦Use Spear Lunge then activate the Kunai and consume all charges since Kunai is an Overheat skill as well, Iām not just sure about how many charges. Go for Pierce skill then go for double slash whether bleeding will be occurred to an enemy or not. Piece and Double Slash will replicate these skills by the Bunshin Clones.
However, the downside of this build is your DEFENSE.
If you use Gung Ho, it gives additional damage but decreases your defense (by numbers not percentage).
If you use Finestra, it gives you additional critical rate (by numbers) but decreases your evasion (by percentage)
If you use Deads of Valor, you will gain attack speed and additional damage (by 10% per stack) but decreases Physical defense (by 10% per stack).
So, think wisely if you use these buffs. It gives additional profit to your stats but it has downsides too. Be careful.
I suggest you use these buffs when youāre sure you can hit your enemy with a right timing, with a right combo.
These combos must be fast without having 2nd thoughts.
Kusgan and I are not sure if Stabbing can be copied by Bunshin Clones. Although we are not sure if the āClones can use Pierce Skillā is a bug or not since we all know that clones can only copy the skill of Kunai and Swordsman Skills only. But it did happen though.
From what I observe and experienced while playing this game,
if youāre using the same weapon type that has same attribute damage type with the skill damage type, it will give additional damage but Iām not sure how much it gives but it has slight differences on damage but not huge. But still, additional damage is still good right? and it can turn tables too.
Like if youāre gonna use Pierce-Type Skills, use spears to deal additional damage. If Slash-type skills, use Swords. If Strike-Type skills, use Blunt weapons. But you can still use any weapon to activate the skill depending if the skill requires stance like a weapon requirement in order for the skill to activate.
However, I need to VERIFY this info if this is true or not. But these info are based on my experience, and still not sure about itā¦ but I can see the difference.
