Hello I'm Sophie/Joan (Guide Date: 29/Aug/2025). You would often see me playing in D1/D2/HoL/LoF/ToT/CT/Villa/BioTemple/Mjol with my Dragon Knight char R.ClickToRename213123 or with characters of other jobs. Feel free to hit me up to join my #LFG calls.

This guide is merely what I do with my Dragon Knight on Alice Hard and ToT (tested well until lvl 51) which is to make 2 builds, namely '''Draconic Breath''' (DcB) DK and '''Storm Slash''' (SS) DK build coexist within a single character, but it is not optimized (dm me on discord/In-game if you can improve upon it). The foundation of reason of why I tried to craft the Hybrid Build while risking being bad in ToT is that: even if it is only 50% the performace of the pure build, if you perform twice, your end contribution will be 100% again. The result was promising, that the hybrid build dish out DPS around 80-85% minimum compared to the pure builds even without much optimization. The reason might be that on the end game part of the spectrum, it is very much gear dependent than character inert stats dependent. All in all, as a Hybrid of both DcB build and SS build, most of the mechanic is simply the matter of full gear swapping, while grabbing the most you can from stats and skills distribution. And thus I would advice you readers to familiarize yourself with gears swapping (even more easy now that there's custom skill created for that very purpose). I would also advice the readers to first familiarize themselves with both DcB DK and SS DK builds separately or ideally to master them first somewhat, before trying to build the hybrid variant, as this is now in the area where straightforward optimization is too complex to be blindly applied because there are too many parameters to consider, and such I must leave the details for everyone's own taste and only concern myself with the big picture.
