Keep Revenge and Vulnerability active
In this August 16 source, the author favors Electrify for tower progress and reserves Thorns (荆棘) for bosses/dummies and PvP. This article covers the boss variant, not the later slow/Spell Counter PvP build.
- For a single target, choose Revenge–Settlement (复仇·清算) for better energy recovery.
- Reach over 40% Revenge cooldown reduction, paired with 12-earth resonance. The stated goal is uninterrupted Revenge and eight necklace buff stacks.
- Roll at least one Basic Skill chance-to-refresh-Vulnerability affix. Maintain 200 Vulnerability stacks: the author considers a lapse a major damage loss.
- Prioritize actual damage rather than displayed combat power for boss tests; a sixth affix that adds no damage is not automatically worth enhancing.
- The author reports Demon-Slaying mount gear (诛魔马具) at the same rating dealing at least 1.5× the damage of Abyss (冥渊) gear. No complete comparative log is included.
Affix and enhancement table
| Slots | Affixes | Enhancement / limit |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon / head / shoulders | Physical; Ultimate damage; Luck/critical chance; Thorns damage; Gun-Fu haste; healthy damage or Basic Vulnerability chance | Sixth > fifth > Luck; at least one Vulnerability roll |
| Chest / bracers | Mixed resistance; one of three resistances; regeneration; block; Shadow Arrow haste; two of Kick Them While Down / Night Raid / Ace Marksman | Sixth > fifth; source treats these passive choices as equivalent here |
| Gloves / belt | Same defensive first four; Spinning Blade cooldown; Control energy recovery | Sixth > fifth |
| Pants / boots | Same defensive first four; Shadowstep cooldown; free final affix such as Piercing Roar, Spell Counter or Cast Disruption | Shadowstep cooldown; do not exceed 50% |
| Jewelry | Physical; Ultimate; Luck/critical chance; Thorns; Revenge cooldown; damage reductions | Revenge cooldown / Luck; over 40%, not over 50% |
Reach 100% critical chance, then put remaining relevant chance investment into Luck. Offerings use critical damage and Thorns damage. This boss plan does not claim that survival rolls are dispensable in other modes.
Why the set matters
The pictured Corrupting Assassin (朽蚀刺客) two-piece gives Gun-Fu damage +60%, physical damage +40%. Four pieces can upgrade Gun-Fu to a Corrupting version and, after an Ultimate, enter a 7-second state with Ultimate damage +50% and an additional Core damage bonus equal to 70% of Ultimate damage bonus. That conversion is why later PvP reports focus on preventing an enemy’s Ultimate cast.
The Holy Silver (圣银) weapon applies Bounty Mark after Gun-Fu: its sheet lists 56% physical damage taken, plus 80% extra against bosses, lasting 3 seconds. It also counts as Armor Break for related passives. These are tooltip values as saved, not a modern server-wide verification.
Build-sheet details and saved evidence
Skills: Shadow Arrow–Ricochet, Gun-Fu–Thorns, Spinning Blade–Saw (旋刃轮·锯齿), Shadowstep–Onslaught, Revenge–Settlement. Passives: Kick Them While Down, Night Raid, Ace Marksman and Fanatic (狂徒). Gun-Fu’s modifier adds 30% Thorns damage, a 50% chance for an extra 80% Attack Thorns hit, 10% additional-hit chance, and 120% additional damage while reducing the target’s Thorns resistance 30% and physical resistance 15% for 5 seconds. Spinning Blade’s Thorns hits return 1 energy, including reflected Thorns and actively dealt Thorns.
Items pictured: Spirit Pattern Hoop head (灵纹箍), Swirling Sand pants, Watcher’s Means gloves, Dispute’s Cost bracers, Shadowedge Broken Chain necklace (影锋破敌链), Swift Twin Stars talisman, Grieving Spirit Ring (芳念灵环). The necklace stacks 40% Ultimate damage, up to 8, during Revenge and clears on expiration. Main imprint Calamity Omen (灾厄预兆): 4 seconds of 100% increased critical damage taken, once every 9 seconds. Other imprints: Aftershock, Fortification, Frenzy, Rainbow Drain. Earth/lightning resonance; Demon Egg main; Lilith/Bro and Cow King reserves.
