Wugushi + Mergen - a little help here, please! :)

Class and Rank Archer
#1

Hello there! :smiley:

Iā€™m planning a build like this: A3 > Wugu3 > Falc > Mergen and I know wugushi benefits from STR and mergen from DEXā€¦ But what are your thoughts on the new gems?

I meanā€¦

After I saw this picture, what I really wanna do is something like high dex build (3:1 DEX/STR maybe, or even more DEX) to increase my mergen damage and put some red gems in those high physical atk bows (like aufgowle) so that my wugushi keep doing something late game even with low STRā€¦

What do you guys think? Is it a mistake to mix wugushi and mergen? :confused:
Iā€™m saving that status reset potion just in case hehe

Thank you for reading! :wave::yum:

nope, you can still go high dex with wugushi+mergen.The lack of STR for wugushi skill can be recovered by having 3 headcostume @100+Patk, high level transcendence and high level red+yellow gem. It depends on your dedication and willpower and RNG to reach those target.

#3

Thatā€™s me =) but to your question Iā€™m not a big fan of wugus, they have legitimate strengths, Iā€™m not knocking the class, its just their synergy with stats, mainly STR. Atm DEX is just so good for archers and all builds frankly b/c its extremely difficult to mitigate the damage in rank 8 content, when something is hitting for you 15k its far better to dodge said 15k attack rather then shave 10% off its impact, couple that with the critical rate, and the fact that anything STR did previously can now easily be replaced by gems I just couldnā€™t see going wugu for anything myself.

#4

yeah I never like Wugu either they just doesnā€™t play well with Dex build :confused:

#5

Wugushi is STR class, the poison need STR > phys attack, poison donā€™t have critical hits, so if you plan on a critical hit class, go with ranger or SR then get mergen.

My wugu do well in the new maps except for the crap gear, specially weapons, but since most of the mobs are earth element, poison reap them apart, but even so, if you donā€™t get a good upgraded gear, it will only take time to kill something like me lol.

#6

Hmmm, I seeā€¦ Thank you all for the answers! :smiley:

I donā€™t know much about archer classes, only played once with a ranger (which btw I didnā€™t like at all) so I donā€™t know how sapper or scout or rogue (I donā€™t like fletchers either) goes with mergenā€¦ The only thing I was sure about my build was falconer and mergen. Only picked wugushi to help me with single target, since falconer and mergen would help me with aoe. Thatā€™s why Iā€™m planning on a DEX build, because my main damage will come from mergen (i hope so).

So far Iā€™m really enjoying wugushi, but Iā€™m only lvl 160 and Iā€™m worried about late game if I go high DEXā€¦

Now Iā€™m wondering if I should reroll my char :crying_cat_face:

#7

Would scout3 or sapper3 be a better choice for this build?

#8

You can build A2-R1-SC3-Falc. or A3 variation. You can also go rogue instead of falc for a bursty build (Not reccomened IMO).
Scout 3 is great at farming. They can do everything basically. If you like spamming Split arrow :stuck_out_tongue: go for it!
@jchsc32 is the active Scout 3 on our forums maybe he can help you more :slight_smile:

#9

We had the same wugushi problem. i was gonna go a2>r1>w2>sr3 but yea balancing the stats is hard so i ended up just going ranger 3 instead of wugushi and everyone told me to pick ranger 3 anyway.

but if you still want to continue that path i recommend to go full str untill lvl220 cos thatā€™s where you get virtov set you can use that untill 300+ gem it as much as possible, use red gem for physical attack then use stat reset. now you have physical attack for wugushi and you can now put dex to get crit rate you should not go full dex just get the recommended amount of crit rate.

but i dunno how good it is, i never tried xD

#10

The go to scout builds are;
Archer3-Scout3-Falcon1-Mergen1
Archer2-Ranger1-Scout3-Rogue1-Mergen1
Ive taken the 1st to lv328 anf the 2nd to lv280

  • Build 1 is better at aoe, circling + homing arrow is 1 of the strongest aoe nukes we have atm
  • Build 2 has fantastic burst via capturing flare shot and arrow sprinkle for double casts, and feint+barrage still does nicely, the myth that it falls off is false, the people that spread that never leveled the idreamy version
#11

On a side note, please DO NOT be afraid to reroll, if you are 160ish you have not done anything, the game doesnā€™t even start until 220+.
Do not be fooled by all the classes and combinations, there are very few that have good synergy and donā€™t hold you and 4 other people back.

#12

Thank you! :smiley: yeah, i wouldnā€™t drop falconer, i like it too much with mergen and multishot hehe :hatching_chick:

Yeah, thatā€™s quite a nice idea! haha but i guess that would be too painful for me ahahaha maybe more than rerolling another char :stuck_out_tongue: hehe thank you for ur thoughts! <3

Suuuure, i wonā€™t be! I hate playing a char thinking ā€œhmm, I think this build could be a lot betterā€¦ā€ :weary: Actually, I decided to give scout a chance to see which one I like the most, so letā€™s see how it goes! Iā€™m glad to see youā€™ve already tested these builds, make me a lot confident now! :smiley: Could you give me some tips on stats? High dex with red gems like your screenshot should work on this?
Thank you so much for replying! :smile_cat:

#13

yes high dex and red gems for scouts b/c split arrow, yellow gems for other dps classes now

#14

if you go A3>scout3>falc>mergen be warned that it will feel VERY dull around 265-275, i know it was a real pain for me to do those levels and the char was very boring (i had to use 2 x8 tome to speed it up before killing myself), with mergen itā€™s much better and itā€™s safe to assume that it will be even better with rank 9-10

#15

I donā€™t see why not? Transcendence and red gems can cover up for the loss. Not to mention, you can always go kneeling shot.

#16

thank you! :yum: helped me a lot here hahaha :hugging:

#17

Omg :weary: hahaha Iā€™ll be prepared for thatā€¦ Iā€™ll be leveling with my two friends (doppel/cryo) so I guess it wonā€™t be that painful - i hope so. haha
But after mergen itā€™s all beautiful? Or youā€™d change ur build if you could? :confused:

#18

I almost wanted to kill myself while leveling a2-hunter-scout3-falcon mergen though. Hunter is really strong especially to flying but it makes me suicidal when the pet randomly acts retarded.

Still not to the mergen phase. I pretty much made this my farming toon instead. I was like fukc this shiz hahahahaha

#19

well, mergen was underwhelming at first but after i played with it for a couple of hours i made it work for me (parthian shaft and spread shot are utterly useless and buggy) so iā€™m overrall happy with my choice for now, iā€™m hoping that mergen 2 is great.
you basically have:

  • arrow rain for bosses/small group (i like this skill a lot, i hope it will get some cool attributes in circle 2-3)
  • circling + homing arrow for large group
  • circling + triple arrow for large group with ranged mobs, generally triple arrow is even better than homing arrow if the mobs are all bunched togheter and can be used for instant damage (even without circling but less effective)
  • split arrow for when mergen skills are on cooldown
  • flare shot for stationary boss/mobs (itā€™s a true aoe but very tiny)
  • twin arrow for picking left over mobs
  • multishot lv15 for long fights that allows it without getting yourself killed (for example, soloing crystal mine)

btw i think a wugushi3 build with mergen is possible, something like A2>ranger1>wugushi3>rogue>mergen, you give up circling for rogue because that allows a high STR build that is great with wugushi, i actually like this combination a lot :laughing: you can capture arrow rain and wugushi pot, my only problem with it is that it would require to keep up 2 buff and i already have problem with lv15 swift step

edit: another problem is that homing arrow not very strong without circling and triple arrow lose a lot of strenght too

#20

Hahaha glad youā€™re happy now :smiley: I hope I can get to mergen like you! Right now Iā€™m lvl 120 scout2 and all I can think is ā€œoh, I wish there was an attribute to increase flare shotā€™s areaā€ hahaha

Thatā€™s nice! But I guess I have the same problem as you, buffs. hahahaha and I like falconer too much to drop it for rogue :ā€™( I hope someone makes a build like this, Iā€™d really enjoy to watch!

Oh, and thank you so much for all the skills explanation! I donā€™t know much about mergen, that helped me a loooooot! :smile_cat::heart:
