DarkEden V2 – Combat Ouster Guide (DEX Build)
1. Overview & Role
The Combat Ouster is a melee/physical-focused fighter, known for its agility, precision, and survivability.
Unlike elemental Ousters, this build relies on DEX to deliver high hit rate, defense, and HP, making it one of the most durable and consistent PvM classes in DarkEden V2.
This setup excels at farming (PvM) and mid-tier PvP due to its speed, mobility, and self-sufficiency.
2. Attribute Distribution
| Attribute | Recommended Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DEX | Full (All points) | Increases Defense, ToHit, and HP — essential for survivability and precision. |
| STR | 0 | No longer recommended — older builds used STR, but in V2 DEX provides better returns. |
| INT | 0 | Not used in this build. |
Tip:
DEX scales all your primary combat stats.
More DEX = higher attack accuracy, faster skill animations, and better survivability.
3. Equipment Setup
| Slot | Recommended Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Set | 12 HPS + 5 EPS + Moju / DEX / ToHit | Balanced for HP recovery, EP sustain, and accuracy. |
| Stones | Fire-type | Enhances Destruction Spear visual and elemental damage. |
| Accessory | ToHit / DEX / Moju | Focus on consistency rather than raw damage. |
Why Fire Stones?
They boost the visual and elemental power of Destruction Spear, your core damage skill.
4. Pet (Dog)
| Type | Recommended | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ToHit Dog | Most balanced for combat accuracy. | |
| DEX Dog | Improves both defense and attack speed — great for PvP. | |
| AA Dog (All Attribute) | Optional — only if you already have strong sets. |
5. Grade Skills / Fixed Bonuses
| Grade | Effect | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Grade 1 | ToHit / Atk Speed / Curse Resistance / Reduced EP Usage | Core bonuses — improve speed, precision, and energy efficiency. |
