WoE SE is my favorite WoE edition and the one I played the most in my life. I played as a DB RK mostly and I'll share some tips, ideas and builds that I've gathered over the years.
WoE SE is my favorite WoE edition and the one I played the most in my life. I played as a DB RK mostly and I'll share some tips, ideas and builds that I've gathered over the years.


=== Dragon Breath ===
=== Dragon Breath Build ===
Dragon Breath is, by far, my favorite build. It is a simple still effective build with a fun playstyle, not very punishing for those who are beginning and still have an amazing learning curve. Due to it being simple, you can focus on what is happening on GvG, focus on learning more about the jobs and what they should do or even shotcall for your guild if you feel like doing so. Since you are a frontliner, you want to get as high as possible resists with enough after cast delay reduction to spam your main skill. Damage is not your priority and you should always focus on your main goal: keeping your enemy frontline away from your stack, acting like a wall between them.

==== Gears ====
Before continuing, I want you to keep in mind that this is totally personal and you should adapt and use those that are most suited for your playstyle and your guild. I will give few ideas for gears and a brief explanation on why/when use it.
You going to need to achieve 97% after cast delay reduction to be able to spam properly, so make sure you pick items that give enough for it.

==== Gameplay ====
As a DB RK your main goal is to stay on frontline and act as a wall between enemies and allies, not allowing enemies to pass through you. For this, you use {{#skill:2009}} to immobilize them and try to snipe their squishy DPSes with {{#skill:5004}} /  {{#skill:2008}} when {{#skill:255}} drops.
Always try to play with your supports and be proactive. Don't wait for {{#skill:25}}s and/or {{#skill:404}} on your feet and move to where it is casted. Try to be as vocal as possible and communicate with your team, you are in frontline and can have a nice view of what is happening in the GvG. If you get {{#skill:255}} you can go for a more offensive setup and act as a secondary DPS.
== War of Emperium: Training Edition! ==
Even if you played pre-renewal WoE for some time, keep in mind that WoE TE is nothing close to it. Even if it uses transclasses, it is still a renewal WoE, using renewal formulas and mechanics. I played some TE on brazilian official server mainly as a status LK and was really fun. But, due to the changes we had and to be a smaller WoE when compared to the 40 vs 40 GvGs of officials, status LK is nowhere as good as it is in officials.
'''This being said, this is the first time I'm playing as CS LK. I am NOT experienced and I'm still learning it, so this section will be updated more often as I figure out and theorycraft stuff.'''
