DEATH STAR

INSANE Hybrid Nightblade Solo PVE Build

The DEATH STAR Build is a Hybrid Build for the Nightblade Class with amazing damage and high speed! This unique build is also able to cast Infinite Ultimates as long as you are killing enemies! Insane!

Primary Sets

The recommended item sets for the DEATH STAR Hybrid Nightblade Build are focused around increasing our Critical Chance, Weapon and Spell Damage and Penetration while also helping us to generate Ultimate as quickly as possible.

First, the New Moon Acolyte set is a great all-around damage set for any build, especially Hybrids as it will buff all of our offensive stats.

Next, Dead-Water’s Guile boosts our weapon damage, stamina and health while also giving us a TON of Ultimate back each time we kill an enemy. This will work well with our skills which also give Ultimate back on kills.

Finally, the ideal Monster Set for this build is going to be Balorgh as we can maintain the buff nearly 100% of the time with our quick casting Ultimates.
