In a land covered by the Gyldenmist, none are better suited for the challenges of the world than the Shadowstrix. These sneaky rogues can ambush and easily take down man and monster with ease. If you are playing this knife-wielding assassin, here is the best build you can use in the game.
Shadowstrix Build Guide
Builds in this game rely heavily on Talents and Affixes; gear rarity comes second. Talents are unlocked by leveling up your character. The current max level is 12, and upon reaching the level cap, you will have a total of 8 Talent Points.
Affixes are gained through gear and gemstones. Higher rarity gear can sometimes come with an Affix or have an empty gem socket. Each time an Affix is slotted in your gear set, the Affix increases in level, granting you stronger effects.
Best Shadowstrix Skills and Talents
With 8 Talent points, Shadowstrix players have enough flexibility to engage enemies on their own terms. This build will be using the Dual Blades for DPS and the Dagger for Utility or Escape.

Best Shadowstrix Affixes
When it comes to building a loadout, it's best to focus on a limited number of affixes rather than trying to get as many different ones as possible. So far, these 5 Affixes are the most well-suited for the Shadowstrix playstyle. Fervor and Fervid work amazingly off each other thanks to the ambush and fast hits playstyle of the Shadowstrix. The other Affixes add raw stats to the build but can be substituted for Affixes to suit your own playstyle better.
| Shadowstrix Affix | Effect |
|---|---|
| Fervor | Increases Physical and Magical Damage by X% when hitting an enemy. Stacks 5 times. |
| Fervid | Increases Physical and Magical Damage by X% while above 70% Health. Also reduces skill cooldowns at higher levels. |
| Elusive | Reduces Dodge Energy Cost |
| Valor | Increases Physical Damage |
| Vitality | Increases Max Energy |
