DarkEden V2 – Slayer Blader Guide (STR/DEX Hybrid Build)
1. Overview
The Blader (also known as Blade Slayer) is a fast, agile melee fighter who combines strength and precision to dominate in both PvP and PvE.
Unlike the Sword class, the Blader trades some defense for explosive burst damage, making it a lethal duelist and a boss-killing machine when properly geared.
With the right balance of STR and DEX, this class becomes one of the most balanced and rewarding Slayer builds in DarkEden V2.
2. Attribute Distribution
Recommended Stat Build
-
Add STR until Horus 21 DPS (to unlock specific weapon requirements and base power).
-
Then put all remaining points into DEX.
Why STR + DEX?
-
STR gives initial physical strength and damage scaling for early and mid levels.
-
DEX drastically improves ToHit, attack speed, and defense — essential for both PvE and PvP.
-
This hybrid scaling allows for strong, fast attacks with high survivability.
In short:
STR = for weapon mastery and damage foundation.
DEX = for accuracy, agility, and advanced scaling.
3. Recommended Stats and Setup
| Stat | Recommended | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Moju | 100 | Great for raw physical DPS. |
| ToHit | High Priority | Determines accuracy, essential for PvP. |
| HPS (HP Steal) | Optional | Add via gear for sustain. |
| DEX | Max after STR requirement | Core attribute for speed and defense. |
Tip: Once you’ve reached enough STR for your desired weapon, every new point should go into DEX — it scales both offense and survivability far better.
4. Pet Recommendation
| Type | Attributes | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DEX Dog | Increases accuracy and evasion. | Perfect for balanced builds. |
| ToHit Dog | Maximizes precision. | Ideal for PvP setups. |
Tip: The Blader doesn’t rely heavily on HPS from pets — focus on DEX or ToHit for consistency instead.
5. Equipment Setup
Main Gear Options
-
DEX / ToHit / Moju set → Best for pure DPS.
-
DEX / AA / Moju set → Balanced damage and resistances.
-
DEX / ToHit / AA → PvP-focused variant with more accuracy.
Rings
-
Balance Rings (DEX→ToHit +10%) combined with HPS or DEF are ideal.
Notes
-
If you need more sustain, add HPS via accessories or secondary gear.
-
Always keep Curse Resistance in mind when fighting Vampires or Ousters with debuff skills.
