User:Lullysing/Kaga/Guide:Endgame 100blading

This is an in progress guide on the various 100b builds used in the endgame. Most are from my personal collection but are available in one form or another either thru teambuilds or are common enough to be somewhat known : i'm only trying to collect em in one place.

FOWSC/general
With the following stats : STR 11+1+1, Tactics 8, Swd 11+1

I generally prefer Ebon Escape to Death's Retreat because of the faster recharge and the unconditional heal. The "classic" build uses air of superiority to help recharge skills and regain energy ( i use a zel blade to compensate).

DOA
The DOA recall spiker build is as follows :

With the following stats : STR 12+1+1, Swd 12+1 , Shadow arts 3

Because a lot of the enemies in DOA have antishout ( Margonites are known for this with vocal minority) the 100b setups evolved to use LBsig (which is no longer elite) to instacharge the spike. Recall is used depending on tactics and area. For example, the recall spiker is a great way to safely "Pop the trenches" in Veil. I've also surprisingly used 100b in gloom ( with a peace and harmony monk to remove soothing and other effects), recalling every now and again to let the mobs regroup at the undeadwall/ritwall and recharge for another spike.

A more classic build can also be employed.

Equipment

 * Armor : Armor depends on factors such as area, if cons are used and general playstyle. I switch between full Sentinel's and Radiant sets depending on circumstances./
 * Weapons : Very important to have a physical damage sword. I personally prefer Zealous blades to help regain energy on the spike but vamp/furious also work very well. I also sometimes switch between zel/regular set between spikes for faster recharge.

Usage
The moment he/shes get the attack signal (usually Mark of Pain being called on an enemy, shorted to MoPCALL), The 100 blade warrior presses T on his keyboard to select the same target as the necromancer's pingcall(you can also mouse-select the target from the party listing's [t]box, but i find that slower). He/She then initiates Death's charge. When in range of the enemies ( usually post-shadowstep) for great justice, To the limit/LBsig and 100b is used to instacharge Whirlwind attack. And then the hundred blade warrior applies Whirlwind attack to the marked target and begins the slaughter.

Always remember that 100b is an amplification build, and so The more enemies there is, the more damage you will do.

Counters
[Blind] will mess with you, only making the 100b "echoes" do damage. Antiadren such as [Soothing Images] will fuck you over. Antishout can also be a problem (which is why DOA builds use lbsig)
