This highly mobile assassin excels at using charge skills in rapid succession to deliver heavy hitting blows to her enemies. Deathblade comes in two playstyles, Surge Zero and Remaining Energy.
Remaining Energy: Skill Descriptions, Tripods, Gems and Runes
Skill Descriptions
Remaining Energy's main DPS skills are all charges.
Within those, some provide great Death Orb generation. Her other skills grant
party Synergy, serve as movement tools or damage fillers.
Synergy and Movement Skills
Dark Axel is a push immune skill that serves as a reposition tool. With
High Axel, you can jump over even Legion Commanders!
Maelstrom increases your Death Orb build-up via
Orb Control and grants Attack / Move Speed buffs to yourself and party. Crucial to use before big gauge builders like
Soul Absorber &
Void Strike.
Spincutter is a low cooldown Synergy skills, providing +3% increased damage and an additional +9% to positional attacks.
Damage Skills
Blitz Rush is our second highest DPS skill, only behind Surge itself.
Earth Cleaver serves as our Counter, Destruction & decent Stagger skill. On top of all of this it has a tripod for push immunity, it's an insanely packed skill in your kit.
Moonlight Sonic isn't a positional and it's not a charge skill thus won't benefit from
Master of Ambush &
Super Charge. This said, it's still a solid filler skill while waiting for other skills to come off cooldown.
Soul Absorber generates a large amount of gauge and contributes a slightly less amount of DPS than
Blitz Rush.
Void Strike is your fourth strongest skill and provides a little less gauge than
Soul Absorber.
Tripods
Your main priority for tripods should be increased Orb generation and damage increases on your DPS skills. While some cannot be leveled at all, you also have the option of leaving those unspecified at around level 3-4 until you're able to level them further.
