Stats and Skills

In this section of the guide, we’ll outline the recommended stats and skills for the Auto Sonic Blow (SB) GX build. These stat allocations aim to maximize damage output and enhance overall gameplay. It’s important to strike a balance between Attack (ATK) and Attack Speed (ASPD). Since the build will rely mostly on Sonic Blow procs, it will be beneficial to attain at least 55 critical rate (which is effectively doubled to 110 when wearing a Katar), so you have consistent damage when the proc is not activated.

Sample Stats

Stat Priority
Str – Very High
Agi – Average to High
Vit – Moderate to High
Int – Nothing or 1
Dex – Moderate to Average or High
Luk – Moderate to Average or High

Skills

In this section, only the important skills needed for an efficient Auto SB GX build will be listed.

Sonic Blow [Core skill]

The revamp for this skill has made it stronger, dealing 50% more damage if the target’s HP is below 50%.

This will be our main damage-dealing skill. It can be triggered either by the Krishna-Assassin Handcuffs combo or the Auto Spell Shadow set (Weapon, Earring, and Pendant). Make sure to level it to Lv. 10.

Sonic Acceleration

Passive Skill. Increase The Sonic Blow skill’s success rate by 50% and enhance its damage by 10%. (Quest Skill)

Enchant Deadly Poison

It’s important to max this skill, as it will significantly increase your damage output.

Note: Due to the revamp of Enchant Deadly Poison (EDP), skills like Sonic Blow, Soul Breaker, Counter Slash, and Cross Impact now deal full damage when this buff is active. Previously, EDP only boosted these skills by 50%.

Venom Impression

This skill should also be maxed out. At level 5, this decreases your target’s poison resistance by 50%.

Enchant Poison

You can leave this skill at Lv. 6. It works in conjunction with Venom Impression. Be cautious not to use this skill on undead or poison property monsters, as it may cause your attacks to miss.

Dark Claw

This skill increases the damage of short-ranged (melee) physical attacks for 5 seconds.

Equipment

In this section, we’ll list the equipment needed for an effective Auto SB GX build. Be sure to check which items you can obtain, but the main items for this build are Krishna-Assassin Handcuff set, or the Auto Spell Shadow set (Weapon, Earring, and Pendant). The key to success is maximizing Attack (ATK) and Attack Speed (ASPD). High ATK ensures that Sonic Blow deals the highest damage possible, while high ASPD increases the chance of activating the Sonic Blow proc.

In situations where you are being mobbed, utilizing the Rolling Cutter skill can be effective. Remember to utilize the Back Slide skill if you need to heal or take a moment to prepare for your next attack.

FAQ

Why should you do this build?

Following the skill revamp, it’s now feasible to maintain a continuous attack when Auto Sonic Blow activates through items/equipment, a feat previously unattainable. With the appropriate gear, this setup has the potential to yield higher damage output per second compared to traditional Katar or dual dagger builds, especially against single targets. Such versatility can prove invaluable, particularly in scenarios such as the Geffen Magic Tournament.

Cost of Equipment

As of May 2024, Krishna with desirable enchantments typically costs around 25 million Zeny, making it the ideal starting weapon for this build. If you have sufficient Zeny, you can enhance your Krishna by pairing it with Assassin Handcuffs, providing an additional +50 Attack and 50% Sonic Blow modifier. The Auto Spell Shadow set (Weapon, Earring, and Pendant) is priced at approximately 800 million Zeny, making it advisable to prioritize acquiring Krishna first.

Leveling

Since this build shares similar stats with Rolling Cutter, you can also employ the Rolling Cutter skill for leveling purposes. Utilize single target normal attacks to trigger Auto Sonic Blow. When faced with multiple enemies while leveling, switch to Rolling Cutter. Don’t overlook the importance of using Enchant Deadly Poison to maximize your damage output.
