Strategy[]

AUDREY

🔸The Grave Robber has some of the most flexible targeting and positioning amongst the Heroes. Combined with her fantastic self-sustain, Dodge and , she suffers very little from enemy disruption despite her low HP. Most of Grave robber Damage is very reliant on CRIT chance as such Grave Robber requires more planning than other heroes but can be very effective given the right circunstances.


🔸SKILLS OVERVIEW

  • Pick to the Face is Grave Robber's Melee option to deal with frontliners. Ignores and Remove the enemies where Block is more common. Like most of her skills, is very effective with Combo since it gives an extra +50% CRIT chance. Combined with Stiff Drink (+50% DMG) the skill can deliver a powerful blow.
  • Thrown Dagger is Grave Robber's Ranged option, can hit back-lines and certain front-lines. It can bypass both Guard and Dodge when Grave Robbe has Stealth. Having the highest CRIT chance of all GR Moves (alongisde Lunge ) makes this move very deadly combined with +50% CRIT on Combo .
  • Flashing Daggers is Grave Robber's Ranged cleave. Due to it's low Base damage is better used as a token-clearing move and to finish off low HP Targets.
  • Poison Dart i s Grave Robber's source of . Can hit all Ranks and it benefits greatly from the crit chance due to (Extra Duration/Ignore RES). IT has a lower CRIT chance than other Ranged Options but shares the +50% CRIT on Combo with makes this move incredible effective.
  • Absinthe is Grave Robbers primary panic button. Heals HP and applies a good amount of Dodge and . It is advisable to equip this skill as it is one of the major sources of self-sustain for Grave robber.
  • Dead of the Night another amazing Self-sustain move . Heals HP, Stress and adds Stealth.The only drawback of this move is it requires a enemy Corpse to work. If the fight doesnt have any Corpse (like boss fights) It is better to temporarily replace this skill with another one.
  • Glint in the Dark is one of the most unique Skill in the game as is the only Skill that Bypass Death's Door ( If Grave Robber has Stealth ). Combined with a respectable amount of damage this makes the most difficult fights in the game easier. High threats such as Exemplar (50% RES) can be killed much faster with this ability.
  • Lunge has the highest CRIT chance of all GR Moves (alongisde Thrown Dagger ) wich makes it a very deadly move. This is one of the moves that benefits the most from Trinkets (Example: Silent Treatment, Heartseeker , Sharpness Charm.) since it's flaws (Huge, inconsistence, damage ranges reliant on CRITs) can be easily denied with Trinkets.
  • Pirouette High damage, high crit move that hits both Front-rank, a very deadly skill that can kill both Front-ranks in a single blow with the correct Trinkets and some Luck. It moves Grave Robber Backwards and apply to her but the payoff is worth the huge Damage potential of this skill.
  • Repartee applies Dodge x3 and Taunt making Grave Robber a "Dodge Tank". Although Dodge reduces all damage to zero, GR's low Base HP could cause an unlucky roll to put Grave Robber at risk.
  • Shadow Fade Moves Back 2, gives and applies unconditional Stealth to Grave Robber, most of Grave Robber skills have extra benefits with Stealth wich makes this skill a Combo move. Although there are better alternatives to get Stealth.
