Hello I'm Sophie/Joan (Guide Date: 31/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.  
Hello I'm Sophie/Joan (Guide Date: 31/Aug/2025). You would often see me playing in D1/HoL/ToT/CT/Alice Hard with my Shadow Cross char R.ClickToRename255746 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 performance of the pure build, if you perform twice, your end contribution will be 100% again. The result was promising; the hybrid build dishes 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 more 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 to everyone's own taste and only concern myself with the big picture.
This guide is merely what I do with my Shadow Cross most significantly on D1, HoL (tested well on lvl 20 HoL) and ToT (tested well until lvl 51), but it is not optimized (dm me on discord/In-game if you can improve upon it). This guide is written to satisfy the demand of the currently under appreciated SX class and that the previous guides are long since last update as of now (31/Aug/2025) and is not up to date with the latest iteration of the BiS gears (namely the HoL-CT series combo). On single target ('''Eternal Slash Build''') this class hits very hard on par if not better than melee crit DK and on melee farming ('''Savage Impact Build''') potential and mobility the class is not bad at all hhitting definitely harder than HnS on melee crit DK, and therefore hopefully with this guide more people would be interested in investing time and effort playing the class.

End game luxury of nice to have and fun to do things for those players who have reached end game and have collected most if not all BiS gears or their equivalent. This guide is not intended to be a stand-alone and more of complimentary for other more comprehensive DK guides (e.g. Cheverlotte's Guide to becoming a daring Dragon Knight). Alternatively you can treat the 2 '''gears''' parts of this guide separately as luxury recommendations for your own pure DcB/pure SS builds. This guide is very subjective and intuitive as I do not provide exact numbers and optimization, but for that case you can find me to test out or experiment with any gears/luxuries that are listed/mentioned within this guide unless I specifically stated not to have them. In this guide you are assumed to have already worn BiS (Best in Slot) equipment or incomplete BiS (enchanting in progress). <br>

End game optimization problem is that for some people, some gears/enchants/MVP setups suit them better as it touches the specifics of their playing styles and build requirements (e.g. if you are wearing {{#item:300473}} instead of {{#item:4679}} you will want to wear {{#item:24339}} and {{#item:24340}}) and so we will not assume a narrow-minded stance on this issue and would tolerate a bit lesser or bigger DPS and whatnots as long as things works well (shout out to get the DPS envy immunity people!).
