Heal to kill, kill to heal – Simple guide for O-mei
 
 O-mei’s early life was really tough for her low attack, but ever since shereached Lv.60, things utterly changed.Being the only clan with cure ability, O-meibecomes so indispensable in both guild war and instance. She is the cornerstoneof a team, if O-mei unexpectedly perishes, death will soon come to every member.
Small advantage for O-mei, Freeze resistance

It is of great importance to implement multipleelemental attack on gears and keep them as even as possible as well as toconsider enemy’s naturalresistance.

Maybe freeze gem and O-mei has a small advantageover others. There are always two clans sharing same element, Shaolin andWu-tang for Dark, Ming-cult and Beggar for Blaze, Tien-shan and Tang for Poison,expect O-mei. Freeze is exclusive for O-mei.

Stats
Stability is the main attribute, O-mei benefitsfrom it very much, just below Ming-cult. No wonder O-meis prefer stabilitybuild. Only when sustained by enough chi can Nine spin raindrop take effect inmore rounds. But accuracy is still the basis. In contrast it’s thedodge. The game playing on accuracy and dodge never stops.

Accuracy,dodge and chance to hit regarding Lv.160 PvP
Inmost cases, accuracy over dodge for 500 can guarantee every attack to hit theenemy. If the two are at the same high level, the chance to hit remains ataround 85%.

AndI think under no circumstance, can the accuracy of a Lv.160 player be lowerthan 2500. With accuracy like that, the chance to hit is tolerable even if youare facing an average-level Tien-shan.

Preset
Low level O-mei: Snake trap
High level O-mei: Install trap or Herb smashing

Nine spin raindrop: Recovers some Vitality for all team members

Order of the chrysanthemum
(Freeze):Victim has chance for Amnesia for 5 seconds
Affected enemy can’t use skills butnormal attack or potions.

Shadow of lonewolf (Freeze): Continuous Vitality loss

Return of theking (Freeze): Continuous Chi loss
Vanish snow storm (Int): Reduces enemy’s critical hit
Shelter in the storm: Increases all member’s Ext. and Int. defense
Darknessovercast: Reduces the Ext. andInt. attack of all opponents.

1. Duel with other clans

a. If you are faster
Order of the chrysanthemum

Vanish snow storm
Nine spin raindrop
Shadow of lonewolf
Return of the king

It’s important to gain the initiative, Order of the chrysanthemum is witha chance to turn enemy’s first skill to normal attack.

Vanish snow storm’s additional effect is nothing to speak of, but attack power is considerable.

The healing amount of Ninespin raindrop is approximately the harm you’ve suffered in the last two rounds.

Although the second “Nine spinraindrop” after another 4 attacks is not able to restore your healthto full,

your enemy’s status is even worse.

b. If you’re slower
Whatever (so as not to waste a useful skill)
Nine spinraindrop (You musthave suffered 2 rounds of attack at this time)
Vanish snow storm
Shadow of lonewolf

Order of the chrysanthemum

Generally O-mei is not able to kill her opponentwithin 5 rounds, the purpose of putting Order of the chrysanthemumin the last place is to make enemy’s first attack in the next cycle ineffective.

2. Duel with another O-mei
Aiming to save Chi, some O-mei players areinclined to put Nine spin raindrop in the third placeand keep other slots empty. The good thing is the saved Chi on recovery can sustainmore rounds. Besides, normal attack is faster than skill and with elementaldamage added.

But questions emerge after this. IsNine spin raindrop enough to heal the harm you have suffered? Andwhat if Nine spin raindrop is blocked by enemy’s Order of the chrysanthemum by chance?

The thought has its merit. There’s nothing wrong with saving chi, just save it in a moderateway.

3. Skills in team fight
O-mei mainly heals rather than provide damage inteam. Enemy’ speedis hard to predict, so it’s better to bring Nine spin raindrop forward to prevent casualty. Thepotions are for self-preservation. The effect of Double combined trouble is notso conspicuous, so it can be ignored.

Darkness overcast or Shelter in the storm
Nine spin raindrop
Use advanced Vitality Potion
Use advanced Chi Potion
Use Intermediate Vitality Potion

The deficiency is the chi consumption.

4 Grand master skills
There are so many choices for O-mei in terms ofgrand master skills.
Salvation to beat beggar, longevity of heavenand earth to beat Wu-tang, nectar falling from heaven is suitable for stabilitybuild O-mei.
We can say O-mei is one of the majorbeneficiaries from grand master skills.

 
The long and winding road to the top of the Mount. HuaIllustration for Ming-cult
 
Often being referred to as the weakest, several players of Ming-cult somehow dazzled inthe latest Mount. Hua Swordmanship tournament.
 
 
 
10-9-2010 09:29
 
TheMing-cult player in the picture goes by the name “Zhuangzi”, the greatideologist in Chinese history. He entered the final, overcoming Wu-tang,Tien-shan and Beggar. Though heroically defeated by an O-mei, heastonished people with his successful strategy.
 
Hewas only Lv.156 when in final, if only he had reached Lv.160, the result would havebeen altered more or less. But the stat he used was preserved sothat we can see how he fought against O-mei.
 
Somehold the opinion that Beggar’s health is more than Ming-cult for every pointput on Vitality or Stability receives 2 more hp without knowing Ming’s extrapassive skill, Nine Turn Spins which can permanentlyincrease Ming-cult’s maximum health. The skill has 12 levels in all, thus a Lv.160 Ming-cult has an advantage of 1280 hp over other clans. Stability is stillMing-cult’s main attribute, providing 18 hp, 18 chi and 5 Int. defense perpoint. Compared with Beggar, Ming is perceived slightly lower in hp, but higherin chi which is favorable for endurance and revival, so Zhuangzi put certainpoints on precision to ensure accuracy, and all the rest on stability, thatmakes his hp break 65k. By the way, some Ming-cults who are rather good can launchthe attack within the first 8 second.
 
*Notes:Generally a clan has 6 passive skills except Shaolin and Ming-cult, both withan extra skill each, Inner Red Lotus for Shaolin to increase chi and Nine TurnSpins for Ming-cult to increase hp.
 
Everyonewas shocked by his more than 20k Int. defense which greatly reduced the Intdamage, more than 60% by my calculation. For most Int. atk players, he’s almostunbreakable,even with grand master skill- overwhelming force, which ignores target’sdefense for 1 or 2 rounds in a cycle.
 
43Kchi is adequate to attack and revive with Nectar falling from heaven.
 
Usemultiple elemental atk gems, mainly dark and poison, to supplement his attack.Freeze was abandoned for O-mei naturally high defense, and he used no moreblaze either for his existing blaze atk is considerable. This issue alsounderlines the need to prepare several sets of elemental gems.

Giant killer– Simple guide for Tang
 
Tang isoften referred to as “Tien-shan slayer” for he grows 50% faster inAccuracyand Critical (1 precision for 3 accuracy and 3 critical). Theydon’t have tothink too much about accuracy which is so indispensable toall clans. In asense, tang saves some points on accuracy, compared withother clans.

Remark on attributes
Stability:Themost important attribute to all clans, all builds. Without stabilitytherewouldn’t be enough Vitality to withstand attacks, enough chi tocast skills.Nowadays, Int. clans slightly gain the upper hand,stability also provides Int.defense as well as resistance to paralysisand amnesia.
 
Stamina:is not as good as Stability, but provides Ext. defense.
 
Strength:can be a supplement to Tang’s attack power to beat O-mei to death before sherevives.
 
Spirit:No, thanks. I’m external.
 
Precision:Tang’s main attribute, the points shared on precision depends on the opponent’sdodge.
 
Agility:250 is the watershed, points on agility thatexceeds this level won’t help with speed.
 
Onceupon a time, there was a Tang build with 4800+accuracy, dodge and only 20000+ vitality.You can imagine without fullpreparation almost no one can touch him butget hit by every punch from him. Hejust appropriated some points onagility.
There’snoperfect build, it’s all about “intelligence” and “prediction”. PlayersinMount. Hua swordmanship tend to be moderate in all things just incase of somestrange builds.

Critical hit can be deemed as a subordinate of Accuracy
 
Theplayerin the picture is with a 41% critical rate, the percentage can behigherif he uses precision build but still follows the diminishingreturn.
 
Inmyeyes, strength is more reliable than Critical. Almost every playerisseeking for the balance between self-preservation, endurance andattack powerwhen against O-mei.

How to become versatile? – Simple Guide for Beggar
 
 1.Attribute point distribution
Beggar is pretty good an occupation for hissecond highest vitality (20 hp for 1 stamina or stability, only inferior toShaolin), best Ext attack (despite low speed, only faster than Shaolin lol) aswell as the good performance in guild war.
 
Maximum HP of a top beggar can break 60k. Sowith O-mei’s support, this kind of a Bagger has as many lives as a cat in guildwar. Contrast that with Tien-shan’s average HP of 30k.
 
The following strategy we’ll talk about isunder the premise that there’s no perfect build to beat all clans. You shouldalways adjust your points, skills, gears, gems for a specific enemy.
 
For instance, Tien-shan is admittedly formidablefor his high speed and dodge. Other clans, except Tang, with a normal builddon’t have a good chance to beat him. But almost every clan can beat him with precisionbuild and right skills, this is the only use for precision build.
 
Average build: The main stream build forbeggar is 2 Strength 1 Precision, while I’m inclined to share your points onStamina, Stability and Precision evenly, you can also adjust the distributionto accommodate to your opponent, depending on his type (Ext. or Int.) and chiconsumption. Compared the two builds, I think the rise in attack is not worththe loss of HP.
 
Certain points on precision are alsonecessary, with low precision you can hardly hit anyone. Besides, high levelgears give considerable agilities.
 
Some points on agility ensure your preemptioninclan arena. Think of it, you’ll realize the importance when you readthe skill arrangement.
 
Offensive attributes from gears and gems canbe a supplement to your attack power, ‘cause these are not flexible.
 
2. Gears
How to judge a gear?
 
Quality and requiredlevel: Color indicates quality, Golden>Purple>Blue>Green>White, thesuperior has one more additional attribute than the inferior.
 
Generally, a goldengear won’t be replaced until you find a purple gear which is 10 levels higheror a blue gear 20 levels higher.
 
Refining: Refine lameattributes to compatible ones, like Stamina, Stability, Precision, Strength,Ext attack, Elemental attack, Critical and Accuracy etc.
 
Adding Stars: Addingstar enhances the gear little by little, turning quantitativechange into qualitative change, more importantly when the 12th star is added, itwill activate all additional bonuses some of which are so hard to see.
 
Where will I benefit most?
 
The raising from inputon a good weapon is immediate. The gap between a Lv80 purple weapon with 5stars and a green one under equal condition is approximately 100 Ext attack,that’s almost 50 strength!
That can be a wiseinvestment, much better than those on other gears.
 
What factors decide your speed?
 
1. The diversity of the basic speed of clans
In general, the basic speed order is likethis: Tien-Shan> O-mei= Wu-tang> Tang= Ming-cult> Beggar> Shaolin.
 
2. Agility and Precision
How long does it take to cast a skill? Ifyou just keep using normal atk (instead of a skill, the skill slot is empty),the time is only affected by agility. Once you upload a skill, the time isresulted from agility and precision, one cutting down the normal action, oneshrinking the enchanting time.
I was often asked “How comes Tien-shanalways attacks first?”, now you know the reason, priority in basic speed andhigh agility.
 
3. Bonus on gears
Rarely seen on gears, speed increase is adecisive factor normally ignored by most players. Higher speed enables you toattack first and reduces the time between two attacks. In a very close matchboth sides have high atk, who strikes first is more likely to prevail. Thatexplains why beggars tend to collect speed bonus gears in clan arena. Thatcoincides with the American way of wars – Preemption.
 
4. Bonus from set
Some high-class sets give terrific bonuslike “attack speed increases by 10%”, that is generated by only 3 pieces! Sinceevery set consists of 6 parts, 20% speed up is reachable by mixing half set Awith half set B! I have an intuition that it will become a trend in Ver.1.2.
 
3. Gems
Gemsafter embedding can be removed by removal stone, there’s no need to skimp gemstoo much. Since low level gems can be synthesized to higher level, they areyour constant partners, working hard for you in the rest of their lives. Gemsare forever.
 
Defensivegems: Stamina gem, Stability gem, Precision gem
Offensivegems: Accuracy gem, Strength gem, Elemental atk gem
 
Followthe same tips of the attributes. The importance of Stamina, Stability,Precision is what I just referred. In terms of the offensive gems, elementalatk and strength outweigh the others.
 
MultipleElemental Attack
Currently,elemental attack is quite powerful for the simple reason that element defensegem is relatively weak and not worth of a socket at all, even though it’s unwiseto use sole elemental atk, just in case someone embeds defense gems speciallyfor you.
 
Infact, blaze gems don’t give extra bonus to the blaze dmg from Beggar’s skills.So 4 kinds of elemental atk are all the same, just don’t use your opponent’s type.lol
 
4. Skillarrangement and preview of grand master skill
There are many skills available for beggarto use. One thing to mention is the newly added Grand Master Skills which willsurely change the current PvP situation and diversify the strategy, though only1 grand master skill can be used at a time.

If you are slower in duel: Ruthless Assaultsof Mercy, Maniac Instinct, OverwhelmingRegret, Intoxication, Field Dragon
 
The special effect of Field Dragon, “stunenemy for 5 seconds”, is very useful. You should always take good advantage ofit. Once it takes effect, the enemy can’t move during that 5 seconds if evenhe’s supposed to attack. Some experienced players are able to estimate the timewhen his enemy will act by checking his gears.
 
Maniac Instinct, Intoxication can deal maxdamage after the Ext Def is lowered by Ruthless Assaults of Mercy or criticalincreased by Overwhelming Regret.
 
Yes, there are other tricks apart fromthese.
 
Preview of grand master skills
 
Also take two asexamples this time:
 
破竹.jpg

Overwhelmingforce (Highest level)
Yourattack in this round will ignore target’s defense (ITD) and be given extra 2340Ext and Int atk power, another 70% chance of ITD in the next round.
Someopponents (like O-mei) need to be killed instantly, otherwise you’ll be sorryfor having underestimated his revival.
 
甘露.jpg

Nectar falling fromheaven (Highest level)
Crushyourenemy with extra 2340 Ext and Int attackand 80% chance of recovery of the next 2 hits, each heals 11% of max hp.
Theskill heals as percentage, so it’s suitable for high vita char, Shaolin andBeggar. With Lv.10 “Nectar falling from heaven”, the next two hits from a 50kHP Beggar can recover around 11k hp. 
 
 
Intelligence & Game theory – Simple guide for Tien-shan
 
Admittedly Tien-shanis a strong clan despite his lowest hp (normally less than 30k) and not verypowerful attack. The highest speed and dodge make up those deficiencies.
 
People seldom change theirbuilds to precision to beat a Tien-shan. That makes Tien-shan appear a bitstronger than he really is.
 
clip_image002.jpg
 
 
This pic I found on forum shows how a Tien-shan challenged a team and survived. The fight ended ina draw. You might say, Shaolin and Ming-cult are poor damage providers, Tang’slevel is too low, O-mei played a role as a healer.
 
In fact, a Tien-shanwith all his gems two levels ahead of his enemies can easily stall a team with no high-precision member, thus Tien-shan plays a very important role in guild war, acting along, hindering enemies’ attack and running away freely.
 
But Tang is stillTien-shan’s natural enemy, high accuracy counteracts Tien-shan’s dodge, whilehigh crits and not very low speed outweighs Tien-shan’s speed advantage, not tomention Tang’s HP is much higher than Tien-shan.
 
Normally an agility build Tien-shan is almost invincible, the dodge of a top Lv.160 Tien-shanplayer can be more than 5000, reach 6k if someone goes to extreme. With lessthan 4000-5000 accuracy, nobody has a fair chance to beat Tien-shan. So if youare confident with your superiority on gears and gems, just go on with youragility build.
 
But what if awell-matched opponent who prepares precision build specially for you? Althoughyou receive an extra 0.5 dodge with every point on agility, but, in contrast,your opponent acquires considerable crits besides precision. Getting killed by aWutang with two or three crits is quite common.
 
Changeyour way of thinking, since no one would give no point on accuracy, that meansShaolin, Wu-tang, O-mei also suffer losses on Vitality, Spirit and Stability,everything they are good at. So why don’t we share some points on stability to reducecontingencies. Offensive attributes from gears and gems can be a supplement to your attack power, and these are not flexible.
 
Strategy is ever changingand based on information. Who owns the information will gain the initiative.
 
2. Gears
How to judge a gear?
 
Quality and required level: Color indicates quality,Golden> Purple>Blue>Green>White, the superior has one moreadditional attribute than the inferior.
 
Generally,a golden gear won’t be replaced until you find a purple gear which is 10 levelshigher or a blue gear 20 levels higher.
Refining:Refine lame attributes to compatible ones, like Agility, Dodge, Precision, Speed,Int attack, Elemental attack, Critical and Accuracy etc. Gloves, necklace, rings, amulet, weapon are gears that can bewith speed bonus.
 
AddingStars: Adding star enhances the gear little by little, turning quantitativechange into qualitative change, more importantly when the 12th star is added,it will activate all additional bonuses, some of which are so hard to see.
 
Where willI benefit most?
 
Theraising from input on a good weapon is immediate. The gap between a Lv80 purpleweapon with 5 stars and a green one under equal condition is approximately 100 Intattack! That can be a wise investment especially for Tien-shan who doesn’t havemany spare points for Spirit.
 
What factors decide your speed?
 
1. Thediversity of the basic speed of clans
Ingeneral, the basic speed order is like this: Tien-Shan> O-mei= Wu-tang>Tang= Ming-cult> Beggar> Shaolin.
 
2. Agilityand Precision
How longdoes it take to cast a skill? If you just keep using normal atk (instead of askill, the skill slot is empty), the time is only affected by agility. Once youupload a skill, the time is resulted from agility and precision, one cuttingdown the normal action, one shrinking the enchanting time.
Now youknow the reason why you always attack first, priority in basic speed and highagility.
 
3. Bonuson gears
Rarelyseen on gears, speed increase is a decisive factor normally ignored by mostplayers. Higher speed enables you to attack first and reduces the time betweentwo attacks. In a very close match both sides have high atk, who strikes firstis more likely to prevail. Speed is important in clan derby.
 
4. Bonusfrom set
High-class sets may give terrific bonus like “attack speed increases by10%”, sometimes it is generated by only 3 pieces! Since every set consists of 6parts, 20% speed up is reachable by mixing half set A with half set B! I havean intuition that it will become a trend in Ver.1.2.

Offensivegems: Accuracy gem, Int atk gem, Elemental atk gem
 
Followthe same tips of the attributes. The importance of Agility, Dodge and Precisionis what I just referred. In terms of the offensive gems, elemental atk outweighsthe others.
 
MultipleElemental Attack
Currently,elemental attack is quite powerful for the simple reason that element defensegem is relatively weak and not worth of a socket at all, even though it’s unwiseto use sole elemental atk, just in case someone embeds defense gems speciallyfor you.
 
In fact, poison gem doesn’tgive extra bonus to the poison dmg from Tien-shan’s skills. It just deals thedamage as it shows. So 4 kinds of elemental atk are all the same, just don’tuse your opponent’s type, considering his natural defense.
 
4. Skill arrangementand preview of grand master skill
Thereare many alternative skills for Tien-shan to use. One thing tomention is the newly added Grand Master Skills which will surely change thecurrent PvP situation and diversify the strategy, though only 1 grand masterskill can be used at a time. The basic principle for Tien-shan is to avoid the harmand deal as much damage as possible.

Sublime toxic hand:Add poison attack
 
The simulation showshow a Tien-shan (frequency 7.5s/hit) fight against abeggar (frequency 10s/hit).
 
时间表.jpg
 
Thespecial effect of Fatal Addiction, “stun enemy for 5 seconds”, is very useful.You should always take good advantage of it. Once it takes effect, the enemycan’t move during that 5 seconds if even he’s supposed to attack, as a resultTien-shan attacks twice in the beginning. And soare Dark Jade Strike and Mountain Peak Tempest. These two should be used beforeenemy’s strike back.
 
Someexperienced players are able to estimate when his enemy will act by checkinghis gears. To beat a specific opponent, not only can you check his gears but alsotake a record when challenging him in arena. The timeof his first attack shows his speed.
 
Adjust your skillarrangement along with your gears and gems. After several attempts you are gettingcloser and closer to victory. Everyone has weakness, no matter how he’sperceived to be flawless.
 
Yes,there are other tricks apart from these. Always remember the strategy is ever changing, if you don’t know your enemy,how can you beat him?
 
Speed is almost everythingin terms of Tien-shan derby, who attacks first gains initiative. Yes, not onlyspeed but also dodge and accuracy. Sometimes the result is decided by merely amiss or a crit. Don’t care too much about a single fight. Man proposes, Goddisposes.

Engine of war – Simple guide for Wu-tang
 
–Simple guide for Wu-tang
Wu-tang is the clan with most population in KO world for it is so convenient and easy to use. Most powerful attack and second highest speed make Wu-tang the most efficient clan in terms of solo and an undivided part in Guild war.In a 5-person team with 3 Wu-tang, 1 Tien-shan and 1 O-mei, Wu-tang mainly plays a role as the damage provider especially when enemies’ int defense is lowered by Tien-shan, while being well protected by Tien-shan’s buff, increase on dodge of all members and O-mei’s in-time cure.

Only very few teams can stand two rounds of multiple-attack from 3 Wu-tangs and another round of Thunder Strike.

One of the mainstream 3v3 groups also consists of Wu-tang, Tien-shan and O-mei (so-called WTO).

Attribute Point Distribution:
Before Lv.40: All spirit
Lv.40-80: Keep the Spirit: Precision at 2:1

Although Wu-tang receives 0.5 more Int. attack from 1 Spirit, 2 Spirit 1 Precision doesn’t work well in PvP, that build is too vulnerable.


定力.jpg
Stability build (A Wu-tang’s max hp can break 60k, almost incredible.)

Hybrid build (more aggressive, but this player relies too much on poison attack, better not to put all the eggs in a basket but to share them evenly.)

Gems

Offensive: Accuracy, Int. attack, Elemental attack

Defensive: Stamina, Stability, Vitality, Spirit and Precision

{3876788A-300F-4758-B2EF-EB6E054ED461}.JPG


Preset:
Low level Wu-tang: Snake trap
High level Wu-tang: Install trap, Herb-smashing
Herb-smashing may be preferable for Wu-tang’s low hp.
Skill arrangement (not the best and with grandmaster skill excluded):

Heavenly Cloud Spectacle: Victim has 45% for Paralyze for 3 seconds, not a very long time. You need to test or estimate enemy’s speed so as to make sure he ought to attack within those 3 seconds. And the paralyze effect is often resisted by O-mei for his high Stability.

Thousand Drops of Water: Victim has 100% chance for Int. Defense reduced for 20 seconds. That implies your next two hits can be with your enemy’s Int. Defense lowered if your frequency is above than 10s/hit.

Thunder Strike: Wu-tang’s most lethal skill, moreover the additional attack is internal, so the skill’s damage can be enlarged if it’s placed right after Thousand Drops of Water.


One single shoot: Skill with second highest damage, same reason with Thunder Strike.

River Splitting Chop: Increase the chance for critical strike, but in fact if it’s not critical, the damage is rather low. So this skill can be switched to others.

The use of normal attack: Normal attack is faster than skill, ‘cause it has no cast time, and also saves Chi, more importantly all your elemental attack is added on it.

Experienced players often add normal attack in his cycle to interrupt rival’s rhythm.

Recommended grand-master skills
Overwhelming force for all-out Wu-tang or Hybrid Wu-tang

Tips:
Accuracy, dodge and chance to hit regarding Lv.160 PvP
In most cases, accuracy over dodge for 500 can guarantee every attack to hit the enemy. If the two are at the same high level, the chance to hit remains at around 85%.

And I think under no circumstance, can the accuracy of a Lv.160 player be lower than 2500. With accuracy like that, the chance to hit is tolerable even if you are facing an average-level Tien-shan.

 
 
Time for a change? – Simple Guide for Shaolin
 
1. Attribute point distribution
Recently I’ve always heard complaints about Shaolin’s low attack and speed. However when the Lord closes a door, somewhere he opens a window, Shaolin is also known for his high vitality and defense. It’s undisputable that the maximum hp of a top shaolin at Lv.160 can break 100k while a Tien-shan at the same high level is normally less than 30k.
The following strategy we’ll talk about is under the premise that there’s no perfect build to beat all clans. You should always adjust your points, skills, gears, gems for a specific enemy.

For instance, Tien-shan is admittedly formidable for his high speed and dodge. Other clans, except Tang, with a normal build don’t have a good chance to beat him. But almost every clan can beat him with precision build and right skills, though all-precision build is testified to be failure in Shaolin’s clan arena as well as all-agility build.

Protection build: Since Shaolin benefits more from Stamina and Stability, 24 hp 5 Ext Def for 1 Stamina, 24 hp 12 chi 3 Int Def for 1 Stability, my recommendation is to put your points mainly on Stamina and Stability, distribution of which depends on your opponent’s type (Ext. or Int.) and chi consumption. Certain points on precision are also necessary, with low precision you can hardly hit anyone. Offensive attributes from gears and gems can be a supplement to your attack power, ’cause these are not flexible.

2. Gears
How to judge a gear?
Quality and required level: Color indicates quality, Golden> Purple>Blue>Green>White, the superior has one more additional attribute than the inferior.
Generally, a golden gear won’t be replaced until you find a purple gear which is 10 levels higher or a blue gear 20 levels higher.

Refining: Refine the lame attributes to compatible ones, like Stamina, Stability, Precision, Strength, Ext attack, Elemental attack, Critical and Accuracy etc.

Adding Stars: Adding star enhances the gear little by little, turning quantitative change into qualitative change, more importantly when the 12th star is added, it will activate all additional bonuses some of which are so hard to see.

Attack speed and frequency

Rarely seen on gears, speed is a decisive factor normally ignored by most players. Higher speed enables you to attack first and reduces the time between two attacks. Tien-shan always acts faster for its high agility. In a very close match both sides have high atk, who strikes first is more likely to prevail.
Before we talk about frequency, I want to explain how long it takes to cast a skill. If you just use normal atk (instead of a skill, the skill slot is empty), the time is only affected by agility. Once you upload a skill, the time is resulted from agility and precision, one cutting down the normal action, one shrinking the enchanting time.

That’s the reason why sometimes you see a guy continuously attacking for 2 times. Shaolin always acts last, then how to turn disadvantage into profit? The key point is the newly added grand master skill.

3. Gems
Gems after embedding can be removed by removal stone, there’s no need to skimp gems too much. Since low level gems can be synthesized to higher level, they are your constant partners, working hard for you in the rest of their lives. Gems are forever.

Defensive gems: Stamina gem, Stability gem, Precision gem
Offensive gems: Accuracy gem, Ext atk gem, Elemental atk gem

Follow the same tips of the attributes. The importance of Stamina, Stability, Precision and Accuracy is what I just referred. In terms of the offensive gems, elemental atk outweighs the others.

Multiple Elemental Attack
Currently, elemental attack is quite powerful for the simple reason that element defense gem is relatively weak and not worth of a socket at all, even though it’s unwise to use sole elemental atk, just in case someone embeds defense gems specially for you.

In fact, dark gems don’t give extra bonus to the dark dmg from Shaolin’s skills. So 4 kinds of elemental atk are all the same, just don’t use your opponent’s type. lol

4. Skill arrangement and preview of grand master skill
There are not many alternate skills for shaolin, one thing to mention is the newly added Grand Master Skills which will surely change the current PvP situation and diversify the strategy.

Preset:
Low level Shaolin: Broken nails
High level Shaolin: Herb-smashing or Rat Trap

Skill arrangement (not the best and grandmaster skill excluded):
Dharma’s Lotus Fingers
Wrath of the Scorching
Indra’s grip
Shao-lin Fundamentals
Demon shifting style

Preview of grand master skills

Take two as examples:

Longevity of heaven and earth (Highest level)

Smash your enemy with extra 2340 Ext and Int attack, while casting Thorns Aura which lasts for 4 rounds with half chance of full damage reflection, the chance boosts to 3/4 if your health is lower than 20%.
The time of combat needs to be long enough to trigger the effect, so it perfectly fits Shaolin especially when you are facing an all-out attacking Wutang who can’t afford his own attack. Since the damage reflection can’t be dodged, porcupine-like Shaolin can be a headache to Tien-shan.

Nectar falling from heaven (Highest level)

Crush your enemy with extra 2340 Ext and Int attack and 80% chance of recovery of the next 2 hits, each heals 11% of max hp.
With Lv.10 ‘Nectar falling from heaven’, the next two hits from a 60k HP Shaolin can recover more than 13k hp. The advantage seems clear when you are against low attack enemy (Shaolin, Ming-cult). Yes, Shaolin also can fight in O-mei’s way. In other words, loser will be the one whose chi runs out first. As a result, Shaolin should be glad with his low atk speed
