COMMUNITY BUILD WITH AFFIX RECIPE

WitherKnight Execute

PvESoloPvP

This is a less tanky build that revolves around judgment and execute. Execute always crits ensuring that burst always gives you energy back that way you'll always have energy through the fights assuming you proc your execute. Since we rely on execute for energy it makes sense to also buff execute with burst.

Class and skills

CLASSWithered KnightGreatsword · Polearm and Shield

Weapon 1 · Greatsword

Breakthrough Charge

Can perform a two-stage dash attack. Stage 1: Thrust forward with your sword. During the recovery, press or to perform a branch attack (second stage). Stage 2: Branch - Dash in a leftward arc, sweeping enemies. Branch - Dash in a rightward arc, sweeping enemies.

Parry

Assume a defensive stance to parry frontal attacks (negating damage), recovering Energy with each successful parry. This stance lasts up to 5s or until you parry 5 attacks, whichever comes first. Shortly after a successful parry, press or to perform different branch attacks: is a sweeping strike against enemies in front, while is a long-distance dash slash. Both branch attacks apply Wither on hit. Parry has a shorter base cooldown in trio mode.

Radiant Retribution

Rapidly swing your greatsword, performing three wide slashes in quick succession. Each attack counts as a Light Strike, and hitting enemies charges your weapon. When fully charged, it applies Judgment to the target. The final strike has a brief Super Armor effect.

Weapon 2 · Polearm and Shield

Javelin Thrust

Hurl your spear forward, immediately applying Wither to the target. Upon impact, rapidly leap to the target and pull out the spear with a sweeping strike to deal damage.

When Wither is removed, all linked debuffs are removed as well.
