Builds to beat the NFT
Warrior


 * You can replace Distracting Blow with any interrupt, such as Disrupting Dagger to bypass attack immunity (caused by block, blindness, miss hexes)
 * You can replace Gash with "Finish Him!" to apply Cracked Armor, as well as providing a small spike. Use TexMod and a texture modification that shows 50% health to ensure that it will work if you need it.
 * This build has not been tested on: Cynn, Danika, Eve, Gwen, Palawa Joko. All others have been successfully beaten with this build.

Based on their builds though, this build should work on Cynn and Danika. Gwen will prevent you from dealing damage, though if you are lucky enough to interrupt Signet of Midnight, you're likely to win in the 15 second timeframe you're given. Eve provides too much anti-melee pressure, though if you wait at the beginning, she may use too much energy in maintaining the hexes that you can win. This needs to be tested however. Palawa Jokos' build has not been documented enough to be able to determine who will win at a glance.

Specific Tips and Strategies
Magni the Bison
 * Keep a block skill charged to block his Devastating Hammer and Crushing Blow. Try and ensure that you have Dolyak Signet active on you so that Irresistible Blow doesn't knock you down, especially when you need to use Healing Signet.

Argo
 * Wait for Argo's Cry and Sandstorm and run out of them, and interrupt his Stoneflesh Aura. Sliver Armor may be a pain, but rinse and repeat and he'll eventually go down.

Headmaster Vhang
 * One word, tank. Without enough energy management, he will eventually be unable to cast Blinding Flash, causing his Armor of Sanctity to be rendered ineffective as well. Beat him up when he ends up doing the Lightning Srike/Javelin spam.

Kisai
 * Same as Headmaster Vhang, except you must tank longer due to her slightly different skillset.

Lukas
 * For the most part, just tank. The problem you will encounter is his Healing Signet outhealing your Gladiator's Defense. At that point, you want to use a ranged weapon to build up adrenaline so that you can use Riposte. Use Gladiator's Defense to wear him down, then switch to a sword and interrupt Healing Signet. Once it's been interrupted, an attack from him blocked by both Riposte and Deadly Riposte should send him below 20%, the threshold for when they will surrender. If not, keep trying.

Mhenlo
 * Interrupt Healing Breeze if you can, but it's not a big deal if you don't. You MUST have a Vampiric Weapon, or else the regeneration will be too much to handle. Barbarous Slice adds some degen to counter his regeneration, but Healing Breeze will heal him for his Divine Favor, causing you to have to restart from 55 health. Gash helps to reduce his overall health, especially when his health is low after a Vampiric Barbarous Slice hit.

Norgu
 * The build is entirely based around attacking and/or using adrenaline skills, so his Empathy and Visions of Regret is a pain to workaround. Keep switching between weapon types to counter his stances and heal Empathy damage with Healing Signet. Ether Feast is an annoyance, which can only be countered with Gash to apply a Deep Wound.

Warmaster Tydus
 * Smash his face in with Barbarous Slice and Gash, and interrupt Troll Unguent every time. Use Gladiator's Defense to use Healing Signet. This guy is probably the toughest, because if his interrupts get lucky, you are dead, no matter what. If you win, it is likely you will die from the heavy degeneration, providing a somewhat humourous scene.
