I present my fifth no-MI 3-Superboss killer WitchBlade
(In fact, in the development sequence, the first character).

A true macho character doesn’t use a shield; he only takes down his enemies with simple, powerful physical force from his big, heavy club. He never shows his back, even in battles with super bosses like Ravager, Calagadra, and Mogdrozen. I consider a macho character like this to be a true hero, so I wanted to create such a character.

Is it possible to create a hero with reasonable and moderate effort who can take down three superbosses quickly, and jump into the middle of a huge group of enemies and take them down with one big, heavy club, and who also make you really happy during gameplay?

As such, this Witchblade was developed to take down 3 superbosses with no-MI, no pharma-doping, and to fearlessly jump into the middle of large-scale enemies like SR and wipe them out with a giant club. A true rough-and-tumble man who wears only boxer shorts and wields a rough club he picked up on the road to smash his enemies.

Devotion selection sequence: https://youtu.be/iY0axMPaWn0
(with a goal of higher DPS and better defense, Some Components and Devotion changed. Most notably, the Constellation Crab (damage absorption) has been added. All resists are much improved, and DPS is increased by 4400, but the Armor Rating is lower by 371 compared to the Final Edition, While the Ultimate Edition is overall better than the Final Edition, the lower Armor Rating will put you at a disadvantage when you’re surrounded by a lot of enemies that focus on physical damage. Nevertheless, for most situations in SR, I think Ultimate Edition has a better survivability advantage. Whether you go with Final or Ultimate is up to you. As the game version changes, your choices may change as well.)

(5) Unified Edition(Game Ver 1.2.1.0, 30/June/2024, Seoul, South Korea :kr:) :
(It was developed with the goal of perfectly combining the benefits of the Final Edition and Ultimate Edition. In particular, it was intended to be more powerful in SR. Accordingly, Devotion, components, and skills have changed a bit. As a result, SR 90-91 was completed in one fell swoop. I haven’t tried anything beyond that, but I’m looking forward to trying SR 95-96 in the near future)

(6) President Edition WitchBlade(Game Ver 1.2.1.4; 05/January/2025, Seoul, South Korea, :kr:);
(South Korea’s Democratic Party lawmakers were elected in fraudulent elections led by China and North Korea. Unable to seize the election data stored on the Election Commission’s server computers, President Yoon declared martial law, the only legal means available to him, and after obtaining the election data, he lifted martial law within six hours by a vote of the National Assembly. Fake lawmakers from the Democratic Party impeached the president and impeached the prime minister. The end of South Korea is near. I created the President Edition of the Witchblade to wish President Yoon a happy return)

My Advise :
I advise you to associate “Dryad’s Blessing” with your jump skill (Wings of Rylok), because it is not properly labeled in the grim tool, and also because, if you associate it with any other skill, you will not have a “100%” chance of (10% + approximately 800 blood-fill).

Keep WarCry, Dreeg’s blood, and Curse of Frailty active at all times. For the rest of the skills, hit them when you want to, that’s all. In particular, utilize the Curse of Frality, which is associated with Shifting Sands. When facing a large group of enemies, such as SR, pressing Curse of Frality very often will cause Shifting Sands to occur every second throughout the battle, providing you with a great deal of power and ensuring your survival.

Sick build, don’t forget to change patch number in your title to 1.2.0.2 :stuck_out_tongue:
Otherwise people think this is an outdated build.

I admit that my build is not great against Mogdrogen. Aside from that, is there anything else you don’t like about my build specifically? If you don’t like it just because it looks like a build you’ve seen many times before, I’m not willing to fix it, as eye-popping fresh build is not the purpose of this Witchblade’s development (^^). Currently, I’m testing some Devotion change and Shoe Armor swaps to increase my Stun Resist, Petrification Resist, and Health steal Resist.

Very impressive! Not only the build, the play style is also really great!

Hi sk_choi!

I’m a long time lurker on this board but I wanted to point out something out about the comment you received from RektbyProtoss. When someone says “sick build” that actually means they think the build is really good! “Sick” is slang for something cool or excellent.

Great build my friend.

I’m not an English speaker, so I’ll take your word for it that “sick” was meant in a really good way. Now my wounds are healed (^^).

This is a great build. It’s really nice that there’s no MI required, and very fun to play!

Hey Choi!

First of all this build is GREAT!

This post of yours gave me insparation to try to pull this off (sr 85-86, ravager-calla-mog kill without doping and only utilizing epic items) and today it became reality. :slight_smile:

Cheers!

For the game version 1.2.1.0, I made some changes to my Witchblade after a long time. Small changes to components/skills/devotion, but very powerful, especially in SR.

I’ve also posted my new Elementalist, which I hope you’ll enjoy.

Hey, which one do you think is the best all around between Witchblade, Warlord, and Death Knight of yours?

15

All three are using similar equipment and similar Devotion. As a result, their overall performance is very similar. Nevertheless, in my personal assessment, Death Knight has the most devastating damage and is the most visually pleasing. However, it is the most vulnerable to reflexive monsters of the three and dies slightly more often at high SR. The Warlord has less devastating damage than the Death Knight, but is also very reliable against reflective monsters and high SR. Witchblade is somewhere in the middle of the remaining two in terms of offense and defense, but its high physical resistance makes it highly reliable against Ravager and Callagadra.

Hi! New player, and I have not gotten to really end game stuff yet but I found your build as a guide as something to work towards because it fits my dream play style/character perfectly and it looks super fun and powerful. I just had a question as to how your filling your constellations out. I tried copying your devotion point placement and I end up three points short. Sorry if this a dumb question but I’m really stuck/confused. Thanks for the great guide.

18

The total number of devotion points is 55. If you have fewer than this number of Devotion Points, revisit all the Shrines by game difficulty and restore the missing ones. It’s been so long I can’t remember specifically. Visit your favorite community for more information. Good luck to you.

Like this for example (scroll though the progress bar on the bottom of the devo map).
You will have to respec a few of your earlier invested points, in the end.
