Build Card

• Passive: High agility glass cannon; excels at hit-and-run
• Unlock: Complete Desert Tier 1
• Default Weapon: Katana
• Role: Melee / Crit speed
• Recommended Weapons: Katana (core blade, crit-focused), Shuriken/Bow (ranged safety net), Revolver (precision ranged finisher)
• Tomes (order): Agility → Quantity → Precision (Crit) → Cooldown
• Beginner Preset: Katana + Bow; Agility → Quantity → Precision → Cooldown
• High-Curse Preset: Agility → Precision → Quantity → Shield; weave in ranged tools for safety

Core Mechanics & Gameplan

Abuse movement to slice and disengage; stack Quantity so Katana hits multiple times and extends arcs.

Weapons & Upgrade Path

• Katana — max early; scales with crit and speed
• Shuriken/Bow — adds safe ranged layers
• Revolver — elite/boss clean-up tool

Tome Priority & Why

• Agility — movement = DPS and survival
• Quantity — more slashes per swing
• Precision (Crit) — huge single-target scaling
• Cooldown — keeps windows tight for bosses

Step-by-step Route

Phase 1 (0–4 min) — Stabilize clear/survivability; grab your core Tome #1 and at least one crowd tool.
Phase 2 (4–8 min) — Finish main weapon upgrades; lock in Tomes #2–#3; start boss DPS plan.
Phase 3 (8+ min / Boss) — Cover weaknesses (shield/armor/evasion), add burst or DoT as needed; align cooldown windows for boss.

Mistakes to Avoid

• Greeding damage before wave-clear/safety is online.
• Ignoring shrine tempo and pot routes.
• Overcapping one stat (e.g., Crit or Move Speed) at the expense of Quantity/Cooldown.

Presets (Details)

Beginner — Don’t stand in packs—dash in, slice, dash out; buy time with ranged weapons.

High-Curse — Front-load Agility/Precision; secure shield tools before committing to long boss windows.

Notes

Tunnel vision kills—watch for flankers while committing swings.
