Occult Brawler Mastery Guide
Arena, Campaign, Clan Boss, Dungeons, Doom Tower, Faction Wars
This mastery setup is safe to be used in Clan Boss Team that has a Counter Attack champion (e.g. Skullcrusher, Valkyrie and Martyr) as it does not uses any masteries that boost Occult Brawler’s Turn Meter. The masteries listed here uses Offense Mastery and Support Mastery, which are focussed on enabling Occult Brawler to inflict as much Poison debuff with the aid of additional Accuracy, enhanced debuff chance to place Poison debuff and extra chance to increase the debuff duration! Warmaster is selected for this build to deal extra damage based on Enemy MAX HP, which is exceptionally great against bosses who has high amount of HP. When Occult Brawler is geared with high Critical Rate, Attack and Critical Damage stats, he will output even more damage with the help of Single Out, Bring it Down and Methodical masteries!

Support

Clan Boss (Self Counterattack Setup)
Occult Brawler to be equipped with Lifesteal Set to enable him to recover his health from Warmaster and regular attacks. With sufficient HP, he can tank the initial damage from Clan Boss to trigger the Retribution mastery. This mastery setup is recommended for non-counterattack Clan Boss Team and Unkillable Clan Boss Team. If you are running Occult Brawler in a non-unkillable team, then you will need to equipped him with sufficient Defense Stats based on the Clan Boss difficulty, so he won’t get killed too early. However, if you are using him in an unkillable Clan Boss Team, then stack as much Attack, Critical Rate and Critical Damage stats to increase your output damage.

Occult Brawler Review
Raid Shadow Legends – Occult Brawler is an Epic Spirit Defense champion from the Ogryn Tribes faction where he can be obtained from Ancient Shards and Sacred Shards. He is one of the top 10 Poison debuffer champion in the game and commonly found in Clan Boss teams to deal high amount of damage! His specailty is racking up Poison debuff on a single-target in a short period of time makes him viable from early-mid-late game content without requiring highly upgraded equipment to deal damage.
Champion Purpose
- Single-Target Poisoner: Occult Brawler is famous for his Poison debuff. He applies Poison debuff whenever he performs his default attack as well as inflicts Poison debuff to a random enemy whenever he takes his turn through his unique passive skill! The passive skill would not be subjected to weak hit limitation since it does not deal any damage. Hence it would be particularly useful in many areas regardless of the enemy affinity.
Occult Brawler Champion Lore
Ogryn are not known for their intelligence, and while most can’t spell the word ’occult’ let alone describe it, some become entangled in its web. Many of these Ogryn are known as Occult Brawlers.
An Ogryn able to comprehend the sorceries of Siroth is easily seduced by them and they come at a cost. Spitting certain utterances or carving particular sigils into their tough flesh can enhance an Ogryn’s strength and dispel their pain, but less appreciated is the long-term degradation of body and soul that these rituals engender. In their quest for power, Occult Brawlers have often experimented with fleshwords — spells from ancient Narbukian tomes which they carve into their skin. But the price of using fleshwords is pain and disfigurement, as the body eventually twists into a monstrous form. By the time they realize that evil has taken hold of them, it is far too late for a Brawler to turn back, though many have tried.
A Brawler typically starts out as an apprentice to their tribe’s shaman, though there are other ways — Ogryn living in more settled lands in Anhelt, for example, may encounter sorcerers and wizards from other species. Sorcerers sometimes employ Ogryn as cheap labor and are later surprised by the interest that the creatures take in their work.
Dren Hellgut, however, became an Occult Brawler by way of a chance discovery. Once a mercenary, Dren was part of a band hired by a Banner Lord to slay a Demon-worshiping sorcerer by the name of Felbane. Dren dispatched the wizard and set his tower alight, but as he left the building, the young Ogryn heard a chilling whisper. Dren followed the sound into the burning building to its source, Felbane’s blasphemous library. An open tome lay on a table, illuminated from within yet untouched by the roaring flames. Dren took it.
In the months that followed, Dren became enthralled with the book and experimented with the incantations within it. As his power grew so did his appetite for more, and in exchange for strength and powers of self-healing, Dren scarred his flesh with the indelible marks of Siroth. Months passed and as the seasons changed, Dren realized that he had lost himself entirely to this bloody work.
Dren burned the arcane tome as it should have burned in the fire, and ever since the Ogryn’s life has only one purpose — to cleanse his body and mind of dark magics. In this he is often steadfast, but when left with no choice, Dren uses his powers to defend himself, using fleshwords to strengthen and toughen himself. It is a power that has saved him many times, but that always sets his mission to purify himself back.

ShowTiMeRS: Occult Brawler eating Scarab king for breakfast
Add this guy to the list of campions I acquired 12-18 months after my account would no longer find him useful.
@mmacygin_drogo an unkillable team is one built around either the unkillable skill (Maneater or Sir Nicolas), or the block damage skill (Demytha, Roshcard the Tower, Warcaster, or Helicath).
They require very specific speeds and ability orders, however once build your stats no longer matter, you’ll live till turn 50 of the clan boss battle regardless of how weak and squishy you are.
Please excuse what I’m sure is a newbie question. What constitutes an “unkillable team”? I have champs that are “revivers” and they bring back champs who are knocked down/out. i.e. Scyl, Duchess Lilitu, and Rector Drath. Is that what you’re talking about? Because, while they keep me in the game longer, they certainly don’t stop me from eventually getting killed. 🙂
This champion can solo the Scarab King with a Regeneration Set equipped. The 1* rating is undeserved.
@Michael Bennett: Any Fear that is self-apply to themselves does not proc Inquisitor Shamael’s passive skill.
Will this passive trigger Inquisitor Shamael’s A1 passive?
@Din Djarin: The daily rewards from clan boss make brawler worth investing in if you are early to mid game. My brawler puts out 18M on a 115k power unkillable team. He pays off quick if you can make use of him in CB.
@ArcticF0X: If you already have Urogrim, there really is very little point in spending resources to develop Occult Brawler. The only reason I could see is if you were having some trouble with your Ogryn Faction Team, and wanted to create an Uber-Poison Squad, which could be fun. But I wouldn’t make it a priority lol
Wondering why no “Arcane Celerity” within the masteries – I suppose it’d be in order to not to alter any speed/turn-tuned choreography? Would love to know, ’cause feeling really tempted to redo his masteries just to add that one 🙂 My CB: 2xStayAlive, 2xPoison, 1xAltan. Cheers.
Just pulled him. Worth building for anything now I also have Urogrim? Am thinking not.
Frozen Banshee does more overall damage against clan boss, assuming 100% up time and neutral affinity. It’s also much easier to acquire rare skill books than epic skill books.
OB’s passive isn’t affected by weak hits, though, while FB’s a3 is (which is a requirement to place any poisons at all.) If you’re only leveling 1, OB is probably the better choice.
Decreases the attack sorry
Thank you so much @Ayumilove. Maybe I should have said that I have as well my Kael at 60 with masteries and from what I have been noticing that coffin smasher is a bit important because he lowers the defense of the CB.
@Moutes: You can use Occult Brawler for Spirit and Force affinity Clan Boss while Frozen Banshee for Magic and Spirit Affinity Clan Boss. Both can work on Void affinity Clan Boss. Occult Brawler doesn’t require any books for him to unleash his full Poison potential whereas Frozen Banshee requires some skill tomes to lower her skill cooldown. If you are just starting out, I would recommend going with Occult Brawler as your Poison damage dealer against bosses, while keeping sufficient Rare Skill Tomes for your starter champion. You can use 2 Poison champions to deal massive amount of damage, provided you can keep them alive with support champions who can provide Healing, Ally Protection, Shield and Decrease Attack. Once you move up to higher tier Clan Boss difficulty, you will just need 1 Poisoner to do the job!
I have coffin smasher, Occult Brawler and frozen Banshee and still don’t know which combination of the three I should do so I can level them up to 60.
Does anyone know if OB’s passive poison works with a relentless gear set when he gets an extra turn?
@Hash_le_gunner the perception set is interchangeable with the accuracy set as its just a flat-out better accuracy set.
Find equipment pieces with more loose accuracy if you need more accuracy is my suggestion.
Guys this maybe a daft questions, BUT, do I replace Accuracy set with *perception* Set? as I don’t have good enough accuracy OR life steal equips 🙁
@PANOskfb You don’t really want to speed up his Curse Eater skill – rather you prefer it to delay until he’s stacked as many poisons on himself as he can, since this increases the power of that skill. So, while recycling your skills is usually an awesome quality for a champ, for OB it would actually diminish his effectiveness.
1 Star for Spider? He’s just helped my team auto spider 15 ten times and his scores were up there with the rest. Maybe there are better characters but if, like me, you are F2P and don’t have 3 Coldhearts then this may be a solution.
Thank you very much ayumilove. And something else. Wouldn’t it be better to change the “evil eye ” masterie with the “magic cycle ” ? It sounds more useful , have a 5% chance to reduce the time for a skill in every round
Resurgent seems like it might be a negative for OB. You don’t really want to remove debuffs, do you? Neither of the other choices in the defense tree offer any help with CB, but would it be right to take one to avoid taking resurgent and risk losing one of your debuffs?
@Ayumilove – Awesome many thanks. Great website btw. Very helpful 😉
@Lucky_Pablo: I have added the missing mastery to Occult Brawler’s self counter attack mastery setup, which is “Wrath of the Slain”. This mastery would benefit near the end of the Clan Boss run to deal extra damage when there are at least 1 or more dead allies.
@PANOSkfb: I have updated Occult Brawler’s masteries to add the missing mastery, which is “Wrath of the Slain”. This mastery would not benefit much if you are using it in an Unkillable Clan Boss Team and can be skipped to save energy when farming skill tomes in Minotaur’s Dungeon.
Hey ayumilove, thanks for your awesome work and time you invest for this and us. I also noticed there are only 14 masteries , please update OB’s masteries. Thank you, have a happy and healthy year.
There only seems to be 14 mastery’s under CLAN BOSS (SELF COUNTERATTACK SETUP).
I’ve followed it and been left with 120 Green scrolls?
Please can you check?
Thanks
@FurnaceRocker: Yes, Occult Brawler does put out more damage as he can counterattack. If you have a Counter-Attack team, Occult Brawler would be much more preferred in Support Mastery. I have included a new mastery that relies on both Offense and Defense Mastery for Clan Boss. It’s currently my new setup for Budget Unkillable Clan Boss team.
has anyone ever put the counter attack masteries on OB? Curious on if that would put more damage and poison damage than master hexer
@Zwith: Occult Brawler’s mastery has been fixed (Cycle of Magic replaced with Evil Eye). Thanks!
Just as a note the image above for the masteries has evil eye though the text states cycle of magic in stead. Could you please update.
@Montaigus: Occult Brawler is mainly used in Clan Boss. Therefore, Lifesteal Set and Accuracy Set will help him to sustain longer in battle, while the Accuracy ensures he can apply those Poison debuff without being resisted. Warmaster is a 6 tier Offense Mastery that amplifies your Clan Boss team damage by a big magnitude. Once you get at least 1 champion with Warmaster, you can easily clear Easy Clan Boss using only 1 Clan Boss Key. By increasing the amount of champions that has Warmaster mastery or Giant Slayer mastery will improve your overall team damage. At the end, you can easily clear both Normal and Brutal mastery easily. When Warmaster procs/trigger, it allows your champion with Lifesteal Set to completely or replenish a significant amount of health. This makes it easier to create team composition that does not rely heavily on having a healer champion.
In addition, once you get your Counter Attack champion such as Martyr, Valkyrie or Skullcrusher, you can then proceed with using Counter Attack strategy to amplify your damage for Brutal and Nightmare Clan Boss (clearing it using 1 or just 2 keys). This strategy requires speed tuning your champion so they are in sync with one another. By having Oppressor mastery on Occult Brawler, it will desync your team sequence. If you do not have any Counter Attack champion, you can rely on just by having a Speed Team. Relentless Set can help in the early-mid game (Easy, Normal, Hard) Clan Boss, but will be slightly difficult in late game.
Apart from that, Oppressor is only beneficial for Arena where the enemy is much faster than you. If they take more turns, this mastery effect will activate and boost your Turn Meter. If your team is faster than Clan Boss, it will be not so useful. I have put some explanation on this mastery in this page https://ayumilove.net/raid-shadow-legends-champion-mastery-guide/
Désolé pour le repost.
Comme set, j’utilise “implacable” qui me permet de jouer plusieurs tours d’affilé, qu’est-ce que vous en pensez ? Encore une fois, vu que OB ne tape pas très fort, est-ce que ça vaut le coup de lui mettre du lifesteal ?
@Ayumilove OB ne tape pas très fort, même avec son A2 full débuff. Du coup, peut-on vraiment compter sur lui pour faire des dégats avec ses attaques, ou juste avec son poison ?
Dans le cas où ses attaques ne comptent pratiquement pas, pourquoi choisir l’arbre des attaques et pas l’arbre des défenses ?
Le warmaster vaut-il vraiment tant le coup que ça ? Est-ce qu’on ne pourrait pas compter sur “Oppresseur” dans la branche soutien (je sais pas quel est le nom en anglais désolé) ? ça lui permettrait d’aller encore plus vite pour poser plus de poison.
I’m surprised with his high rating for Dragon. I mean for lvl 20 he is weak affinity, and can’t help much with waves in any lvl. Anything specific make him so good? or just poison?
@Frroztbyte: Immunity Set does not work well in long battles. It’s best suited for short battles such as Arena Nuking team.
How does the immunity set work with his passive?
@Verth I would say that they are both good. I just pulled OB from the latest 2x Ancients event and so far, FB is my MVP in CB. The reason for me to use OB over FB IMHO is for Force Affinity CB. For Magic Affinity, FB is better and in Spirit, BOTH can be used since OB’s poisions DOES benefit from FB’s Poison Sensitivity debuff.
@W_R_A_I_T_H OB is the best poisoner in the game, hands down, Frozen Banshee is decent and is the only champ with poison sensitivity so, I would swap out FB for OB unless you can work having both in your CB group, FB might be a good addition to OB, but highly recommend OB.
Is OB effective in UNM clan boss? I am currently using frozen banshee. Would OB be an upgrade from a poisoner standpoint?
Honestly, this guy is just an absolute behemoth. Currently running him in a team of Tayrel, Apothecary, Juliana & Skullcrusher, and prior to getting OB i had Miscreated, overall they were doing around 12-13m on brutal, since adding him to the team (in somewhat mediocre 4/5 star sets of lifesteal & acc) i’m now hitting 22m, he’s made such a huge difference.
If I’m running accuracy and lifesteal sets (ACC+40, heals by 30% of damage dealt) does it make sense to run Lore of Steel? Lore of Steel says “increases the Base Stat Set Bonuses of all Artifact Sets that increase Base Stats by 15%.” Neither of these sets increase base stats by 15%, so it seems this mastery would do nothing for me??
@Xorron: Occult Brawler inflicts more 5% Poison debuffs to the enemy in Clan Boss compared to Kael, which allows him to deal more damage in the long run. If you have just started early-mid game, you would want to focus on Kael first as he will help you in all places compared to Occult Brawler. Occult Brawler is used near late mid-game to end-game to optimize damage towards Clan Boss.
@Ayumilove
You wrote 1 Poisoner is enough for the Clan Boss. So what would you prefer? Kael or the Brawler?
Salmon, how much damage are you putting out and at which level?
I m confused now… my team has apoThecary for heal and Turn meter boost, Kael , bulwark for his hp burn and his passive which increases the buff every time he is hit, gravechill killer giving decrease defense, Valerie giving me those shields and increase attack…. now who do I replace for occult brawler?. 🙁 pls advice… badly needed as I m stuck in the game…
Ale is good and so is your answer. He will always ignore 30% Def at least when doing A2. If the enemy is so stupid that they have put more debuffs on him, then someone of them will pay for that! 😀
He puts poisons on himself because of his a2
@Sto: Yes. I’m not sure why Plarium developers decided to design it such a way, which does not make any sense to me too.
Im sorry for the silly question, new player here trying to figure out things. So on his passive it means he puts poison on himself and then the enemy? I don’t understand that. Thanks
@Lightbane: Ah, thanks for highlighting about the Poison ticking on himself. I have updated Occult Brawler’s mastery by switching “Heart of Glory” to “Grim Resolve”. If the mastery image is not reflecting the new update, force refresh on the Internet Browser page using (CTRL+F5).
@Simon Philippssohn: Thanks for your input! I have updated Occult Brawler’s mastery by switching “Cycle of Magic” to “Evil Eye”. If the mastery image is not reflecting the new update, force refresh on the Internet Browser page using (CTRL+F5).
@Aumilove Doesnt Cycle of Magic reduces his cooldown random for one turn? I wouldnt choose this because on this way he dont get his 5 debuffs anyway. There has to be a better option for it. Maybe Evil Eye for the dungeon content.
@TiagoTitan Using the skill without 5 debuffs is a DPS loss, but with autofight he will use it on 4 debuffs as well, without waiting for CB poison. As a result, you need to go manual to maximie Brawler’s damage. In that case lower cooldown will give you additional flexibility in non-CB environment.
But yeah, if you are using OB on CB and going auto, better to leave it without books.
@Ayumilove Heart of Glory seems to be an inferior option, as he gets poison tick at the start of his turn, leaving him without max HP. Grim Resolve can work under some circumstances, and Exalt in Death can be useful for dungeons.
Is it me or it’s better to keep the cooldown of Occult Brawler’s A2 on 4 turns so he can get more debuffs on himself?
That way it means we should not full book his A2.
What do you think.?
@oguz: CB on NM has a speed of 170, CB on UNM has a speed of 190. Thus, you would want to your SC to have a speed of 171/ 191, so that he goes last and just right before the CB. On NM, your OB should have a speed of somewhere between 172 and 189 depending on who should go before and after him.
ı got him and frozen banshee. i didn’t know which one to go with and i choosed him. later i found that FB goes very well with skullcrusher and i have skullcrusher but i already spend too much on OB and i will countinue. so how many speed and accuracy do i need on him for the best performance in NM-CB and UNM-CB. For now i have 170 spd and 240 accuracy without the banner.
@Khazou the reason you’re not going to stack attack is because you’re not looking for his normal attack damage, you’re after him putting up poisons all the time and getting 5 debuffs on him so he gets that extra attack which means an extra poison, so you want him to survive for a long time.
@all: Occult Brawler skills have been updated based on Patch 1.14
oh and another question, may be i lack some game mechanics but, its an ATK based skills, why not boost ATK to make more poison damage ?
thx Flap, good tips 😉
Does having master hexer increases the turn of poison it 0laces in itself?
Hey guys, do you think that brawler is better than juliana ? Considering I have Vizier Ovelis in my team for CB
@Khazou : Yeah Occult is better. You can take 2 poisoners in CB for early-mid game, if you don’t have a debuff extender and if you don’t exceed 10 debuffs on the CB. My advice would be to have 1 main poisoner that you’ll keep for late game and if you need it, a second one but don’t invest to much on it as it will but useless for endgame. For your poisoners to stay alive longer, the rest of your team must provide Decrease atk >Increase Def and Heal if possible.
@TiagoTitan : Occult Brawler is much better I think, one of the 5 best poisoners in the game, I see him even in UNM clan boss comps. He is better than yaga for sure. Anyway you can test him because he works great even when he’s not booked. I did get one this week, unbooked with no masteries and at lvl 35 he did around 5M dmgs per key on brutal.
I got Occult Brawler a few days ago and I’m wondering if he is better than Yaga for CB Brutal.
My Yaga has T4 masteries and is not booked yet. So should I replace him for Occult Brawler or should I max Yaga. What if I max Yaga defense and HP?
Hey guys. Occult brawler does better job than Yaga the insatiable ? despite his self hurting ?
Another point, i m not sure yet. Can i take 2 poisonners like them in CB ? or is there a non stacking effect or something else making it not worth. thx !
@Simon Philippssohn: You just need 1 good Poisoner Champion in your team. Then the other champions will need to provide the following debuffs: Weaken and Decrease Defense for more damage against Clan Boss, Increase Defense, Ally Protection, Decrease Attack to survive longer in battle, a bonus would be having some Healing/Continuous-Heal but its not so important once you get all of your team equipped with Lifesteal Set. Poison for more damage to the boss for every turn he takes. Counter Attack or Ally Join Attack for extra damage towards the Clan Boss. If you have this skill component together, you can survive Clan Boss above 6 minutes (enabling you to 1 Key Clan Boss Easy/Normal/Hard for the best chest reward), 2 Key Clan Boss Brutal/Nightmare and 3 Key Clan Boss Ultra Nightmare.
What du you think about Gravechill Killer as the Decrease Defens with OC in the Clanboss. Or wouldit be to much with Poison debuffs.
@Hugo: 1 Occult Brawler will be sufficient. You will need other champions that can provide Decrease Attack, Decrease Defense, Weaken for extra damage on Clan Boss through Warmaster or Giant Slayer. Then, the supporting champion that can put Counter Attack or Speed, Heal, Increase Defense and Strengthen. Do take note that Clan Boss has a limit of 10 debuff slots. You cannot exceed more than that with Poison Debuff, else its wasted slot for extra damage.
Hey guys, what do you think of using two OB for CB? it could work ?
hello..
just confuse with the offense mastery
why use ” shield breaker” instead of “Grim resolve”?
since hes good only on clan boss and dragon ?
He’s five stars at two dungeons and clan boss. Cold heart is S tier and is five stars at two dungeons only. Just saying.
i thank you you make learning the game and winning possible i am having fun now
@Ayumilove: You were right about LS Set on Brawler and maxed Mastery. Now he can heal himself with it.
@Ayumilove: Thank you for advise. I guess you are right. I’ll try Vrask.
@Strixes: Occult Brawler is 5 Stars in Clan Boss, but he is ranked C in overall fields. Please see the ratings up there.
Wait why is OB the best poison for epic champs a “C” champ. He deserves so much more then a “C” rank. People run him in end-game CB comps all the time.
@Onxymoon: For champions that you want to make it for Clan Boss, its a must to get the Offense Tree (Warmaster or Giant Slayer) based on the champion A1 hits. Reason being, you want him to deal as much damage based on the ENEMY MAX HP, while at the same time healing a great amount of HP from that damage via Lifesteal Set.
@Nelson: If you have Accuracy chestplate, substitute it with high Defense stats and substats on the accessories (Ring, Amulet and Necklace). This will help Occult Brawler to survive in battle longer. To take it one step further, include a 60% Increase Defense Champion (e.g. Marked), 50% Ally Protection champion (e.g. Skullcrusher) and a Shield Champion (e.g. Valkyrie).
@PastaGu: Thanks for your insight! Lifesteal Set is still viable for all stages of Clan Boss (Easy, Normal, Hard, Brutal, Nightmare and Ultra Nightmare) when you obtain the tier 6 Offense Mastery (Warmaster or Giant Slayer). When one of these procs, you instantly heal full health (100% HP) when your champion (e.g. Occult Brawler) attacks the Clan Boss who has Weaken and Decrease Defense debuff. If Apothecary could not make in time to heal everyone, then Clan Boss will pick up your champions one by one with his powerful AoE attack. Take note that Apothecary does not perform AoE heal (Area of Effect heal). I have tested few Healer champions in Clan Boss, and based from my experiences, you will require a powerful AoE Healer such as Vrask if you do not have Lifesteal Set to heal up after Clan Boss AoE attack. I also have Apothecary too, so I know how Apothecary performs in battle too, and I have skipped him ever since going above Hard Clan Boss 🙂
@Ayumilove: Lefisteal Set is good for the champions that do high damage. All you need for CB is HP and DEF to survive as long as you can, so wearing ACC Chest on him is just missing one of those important stats. He doesn’t make enough damage to heal him self with Lifesteal. And it’s literally easy to get Apothecary with full skills to heal him and any champ on CB. This is what i’m thinking, i’m not saying this is final true 😉
I’ve got mine in a relentless set and acc set. All the relentless pieces have accuracy substats, so I can use def% chest without worrying about missing poisons. Relentless works really well.
I found it useful to use the regeneration gears with acc chest and divine speed cause of the little bit of shield it gives and when u get to higher lvl clan bosses swap out the speed set for acc. also i built him with def and support because i only use him for cb i tried this build second i built my own then i found this site. i changed my build to this only to find out that he lasted longer with my build so its still up for debate on rather to go atk and support tree or go def and support tree.
@PastaGu: Lifesteal Set is still beneficial to team that does not have good healer champion. I have a champion with Lifesteal Set and Accuracy Set with over 250 Accuracy and stil manage to inflict Poison debuff on Brutal and Nightmare Clan Boss. You can have 1 Accuracy Banner and 1 Accuracy Chest along with Support Mastery Tree to boost your Accuracy stats further. Alternatively, equip your Occult Brawler that has heavy upgrade on Accuracy substats. It is not impossible to achieve as I have already tested it. I have updated Occult Brawler’s equipment section guide for the (1 Accuracy Set, 2 Speed Set) to (2 Accuracy Set, 1 Speed Set) and (1 Lifesteal Set, 1 Speed Set to 1 Lifesteal Set, 1 Accuracy Set) based from your feedback 🙂
You will need at least 2 Accuracy sets on him just because high level CB require 200 accuracy to place Poison. Lifesteal set is useless.
Occult Brawler is really only useful in Clan Boss and Dragon. The tier rating is based on usefulness amongst all areas of the game, so I think it makes sense.
A C rating now? That’s a pretty steep dive for a solid CB poisoner.
Is it me or he poison less than before ?
i think regeneration set fits best for him he cant steal life with his poisons. But he must survive while getting pıison damage.
@Marcus Jackson: Thanks for your analysis! I’ll update Occult Brawler equipment guide to focus primarily on Defense and HP, so he can last longer in battle to be able to inflict more Poison debuff on his opponents.
Hello! First off keep up the amazing job. Second.. why the crit damage gloves and amulet since he will only recieve crit rate from sub stats and it can be challenging to get crit rate at 80+ from substats. I feel like loading him up with hp% gloves and amulet would be better off since hell mostly be used for clanboss and dungeon bosses. Thanks for your time!
