BnS Assassin Perma Stealth build / Explanation / Demostration

[@TaiAttack]

Hey GodriK I just wanted to say thank you for all your guides. You are definitely one of the easiest BnS youtubers to listen to and able to understand. Very entertaining and informative! Appreciate all the hard work man,

[@LazyMerc401]

Thanks for this amazing build and explanation. I have done this dungeon solo yesterday and i was only level 42. This build is just so strong. Your videos are really good. Keep up the good work

[@belthazor452]

Was searching for a perma stealth video for a long time with PRO explanations,this is where is found , Thanx mate , that was one great guide , i am on it now , will practice according to your guide .

[@snooze0023]

You are my go to for assassin guides so far. Im brand new to this game and just stumbled across you amongst a pile of crappy guides i didn't understand. Cheers

[@AVIZI0N]

Great explanation and I cant wait for more content, I just started playing blade and souls 2 days ago and chose assassin as my main. I'll be looking forward to more of your videos, keep up the good work!

[@praduk]

You can get perma stealth by specing 3 points into shadow dash. The cooldown for shadow dash is 6s and the invis duration is 6s. Simply back up or SS and 1 right into stealth again.

[@EskoShorts]

I don't even have a sin and I like this! Keep doing the good work man love your streams as well.

[@NC2St3pp3r]

Really helpful video man, waiting to see your animation cancelling tutorial for the assassin. Definitely got a subscriber!

[@Tyler.8046]

You've obviously spent a lot of time in the game, and you seem to be pretty good. The problem I have with your build setup is that your "perma-stealth" has upwards of 10 points into skills that you can't even use in stealth. While I think this isn't a horrible build, it just isn't perma-stealth. Mist slash can't be used in stealth Dark Strike spec'd that way isn't as useful in stealth, you'll have excess focus while Shadow Drain is active. Decoy is really only useful to get back into stealth Poison Breath isn't necessary beyond 1 point because you shouldn't need to heal back up (obviously you're going to take damage on occasion, so I don't have as many issues with those points) Spinal Tap is vital to this build, you need to reduce the cooldown of Shadow Drain in order to get the focus back to stay in stealth. Not to mention once you spec Spinal Tap to the third tier it allows you to stay in stealth. (Just to clarify something) You need Set Landmine to that tier because it allows you to proc poison and stay invisible on bosses while you're invisible since you can't use Spinal tap to stun bosses and apply the poison. (This is JUST for perma-stealth assassin, because I love Lotus on other builds) you do NOT need Lotus to that tier. It's a waste of a point because you should never trigger their AI Just to clarify, I'm not saying this is a bad build. It just doesn't work for what you're trying to do.

[@StardropGaming]

+Tyler Wardle I was going to make an almost identical comment to yours. His build is more of a generic dps build than perma stealth.

[@Tyler.8046]

StarDrop His build is a lot closer to something I'd use on Blackwyrm where I don't necessarily need to stay invisible to deal damage.

[@adama6559]

+Tyler Wardle What would you recommend as a full stealth build? Your comments are quite interesting and I'd like to know where those surplus points could be better used. Thanks.

[@Tyler.8046]

Adam A I'll edit this comment with a bnstree, since it'll take me a little bit to put it together. Also there will be some comments below the build for when you might want to consider changing out certain perks. bnstree.com/AS/VyKtZBisg

[@Tyler.8046]

Adam A Feel free to ask anything about the build. Perma-stealth is pretty easy to play with the build and very few things are honestly "core" and technically anything with 3 points in Shadow dash are "perma-stealth" since it gives you 100% uptime. The core I mention'd just make stealth very simple, and give you plenty of extra options.

[@ThatRogueGuy]

Thank you so much for this video. I learned so much that I was missing from my build!

[@lol20yo]

Best streamer for BnS and very good guides *thumbsup*

[@JinZuS]

well done , checked the stream and i have to say that you're awesome at what you're doing good sir, keep up the good job, and keep them videos coming , thank you

[@diegovinicius4186]

Quick quest, why not LMB Tier 3, (U wont leave Stealth Stance plus will decrese in 6 sec the Shadow Drain), And Lightning Pierce decrease the cooldown of 4 Skill (if builded in last move will not leave stealth plus give hurge damage in poisoned enemys and Recover 3 focus on hit with 6 sec cooldown - reducing by 3 sec while crit as Lightning Pierce)

[@feelfresh77]

awesome! great video and super cool build. i am not level 45 yet but i ll try to play it. nice. hope you ll do some more of that

[@Hugo-gv4rh]

what is that move at 8:38 that he used to add another poison stack? ty

[@opreker]

this is what I call "Explanation"!! great one, good job, thanks for info

[@funktastic0]

Wow nice video, I'm new to the game and kinda figured out how to solo bosses with stealth but after this it will be much better.

[@Goberzh]

All you need for perma stealth is actually only 3 talent points. when u have 6 sec colddown u can just run away when 1 sec left on invis and use 1 as soon as out of stealth in the back and u gucci

[@rulisexiestmanalive6039]

how many seconds before poison stack end or it just stack on the one that you already have ( and then you don`t have to press x and after x shadow dash again ) just press x shadow dash do your stuff stealth again shadow dash with out x ,can this be possible ?

[@AznProfet]

Please do a pvp guide

[@BodegaFargo]

Love this vid, I have a very similar perma stealth build. btw what do you use to record your vids while in game? Nice vids keep it up.

[@JohnDoe-vh7mu]

Thanks for the guide and explanations. Was super helpful

[@RavFromYetti]

you can spec your mine to Daze and your Shadow Dagger to Daze so when you fuck up going to Steath you can Daze boss and give some Venom Swarn and Tab for stealth.

[@SpydersByte]

Nice guide. I've been uploading assassin solo bosses and I was thinking about making a guide as well but it looks like you beat me to the punch! Oh well, I suppose it's better on your channel since you actually have some subs :)

[@KemIS200]

You forgot to say that you can cancel the "3" stun pressing RMB when you touch the ground with your feet, this will save precious stealth second to keep dps!

[@MikeyHansen]

Didn't know you could RB into stealth while gliding :O Your Sin vids are

[@TheMehkey]

+Mikey Hansen read spelldesriptions moron....

[@MikeyHansen]

I would if they weren't so poorly translated. Now go away, pfft.

[@M3rcy00]

keep up the great videos man!

[@rush4g]

Just started playing assassin and i'm loving it. I also live in Australia so I have around 300 or so ping and it's ok I guess. It won't be as much dps as others with lower ping but perma stealth is still a thing, just takes longer to kill shit.

[@MrArchatoz]

do one for blade dancer plz in which you explain the skills retotation

[@gokunorris5351]

Good vid and nice explanation If i find you have more assassin build and explanation videos ill sub

[@OnyX-dt5du]

maybe adding a skill calc link to BnStree would be a great idea too :)

[@hihowareyouitsme]

I have one question abuut the dark strike vs lightning pierce debate. You say that with lightning pierce you run out of focus a lot quicker, since dark strike can recover 1 focus if you crit. However, dark strike requires 2 focus while lightning pierce only requires 1? Dark strike will cost 2 focus 60% of the time with your crit rate and 1 focus 40% of the time, whereas lightning pierce will always only cost 1 focus. The rest of your arguments for the skill are fine, but the focus argument is wrong.

[@pollytrix8403]

Just got my sin to 30 and cant wait to test this. Nice one!

[@chris_hisss]

+Polly Trix You don't have enough points at 30 to do it, right? So what did you leave out? I am at 28 and just couldn't do it.

[@TheRealAriLove]

Thank you for the videos, Godrik! :D

[@Xility]

If you try not to leave stealth, why spec 3 points into mist slash instead of 3 in your spinal tap to get the 6s reduced CD on hit for your shadow drain? Seems like a waste of points.

[@danthetennisman]

Is this build still viable? I'm left with 2 seconds in stealth and I shadow drain a poisoned target but I get 1.5 seconds of stealth remaining instead of a new refresh 6 seconds of stealth.

[@shantfire99]

Is weapon atm worth to upgrade to siren or stay at true profane?

[@xArrrow]

I don't exactly agree with the mist slash points, first of all, it's a mere 100ish damage that practically means nothing in the long run. Second is because since you can't use it during stealth, and your goal is to perma stealth, it kinda contradicts what your goal is and makes the points worthless. Other than that I actually learned a few things and I think it was a great video.

[@GodriKtv]

I can understand where you're coming from but as we don't have the hongmen skills at the moment so therefore the majority of the points are irrelevant atm sadly. Next patch I'll be doing a new build as well which will focus more on perma stealth

[@xArrrow]

+GodriKtv Yeah I agree, and I'm sure that you do make use of the mist slash points, just not in this video. And I'll make sure to see your guide after the patch.

[@MalkomsTV]

You forget to explain the 2pts in Lightning Rend... indeed nice video ;)

[@ryansmudama]

Hello, i am new on BnS.... Any tips for beginner faster exp farming and survive ability? also i am not really a pay to play person, so where i can get a good weapon?

[@ImGuti]

Great build, as comments say it has a couple of points when you're not in stealth, but then again...life isn't perfect right? ;)

[@AndreiSorin1994]

Is this pve build still viable on the Korean/Chinese version of the game? In NA it is, because the game just got released, but I'm wondering if this style of play got nerfed over the years, in Korea. I want to create an assassin on NA, and I want to know what to expect in the future, if it gets nerfed here, after 1 year let's say, I will probably pick another class.

[@TheJokerscene]

X to add poison stack, then 1 to restealth. I'm confused. Isnt 1 the dash? meaning at close range it is useless. Unless 1 becomes another ability during stealth. Is that it?

[@NinthBlade]

+TheJokerscene while in stealth he uses x-throwing dagger(stealth stance)for a poison stack, then he uses 1-shadow drain(stealth stance)which extends the time of the stealth(stance) if the target has a poison stack. so in other words he reactivates stealth whilst being in stealth i hope this makes sense for you xD

[@kalasnikovgbm5574]

What is the Name of you Equip i mean chest? and where i can buy it?

[@TheGamesForAll1]

i want ask you some thing why all assassins have heart stap faster than me and you have dast mis clash why ?

[@umarhakeem5814]

Why level dark strike???? DARK strike is for out of invis and lightning crash is when you are invis

[@0omatthewo0]

+umar hakeem i know it's good, animation is fast but it drain mana pretty quick. the purpose of this build was to stay invis. but it's a pretty good subtitue til when you get lightning rod so you can manage mana abit to use lightning crash too

[@ryunomanako]

+umar hakeem you can use dark strike under stealth without breaking stealth even though it is not mentioned in the description

[@YumeMegami]

+umar hakeem you can upgrade dark strike into lighting pierce which lets you stay in stealth.

[@StaticKaze]

+ryu nomanako You have to be in decoy stance to use Dark Strike.

[@StaticKaze]

+Yume Megami He didn't choose lightning pierce, though, he went with tier 2 dark strike which is what umar is talking about.

[@scalera2233]

Can you write for me the combo please i have problème with the sound of my PC Please !

[@yobaby11]

What happens when you press X? I create a smoke screen

[@thatlzygamer9206]

sir u just gained a new subie! post more build pls =D

[@detrimental011]

So when do you hit tab??

[@e.c1585]

hey . just wondering, i am level 41 at the moment and not sure what kind of soul shield i should equip at this level ? any suggestion ?

Continue the main quest till u get to kisty woods. Go there and get faction token and turn em in for the end game soul shield.

[@e.c1585]

From where do i get the faction token

[@dodgydave1053]

What server do you play on?

[@ayu510]

what weapon skin is that?

[@japvillamor02]

How to check ping in blade and soul?

[@maxhanna5615]

What is that hair called

[@Shoxey081]

I can solo every boss easily with sin I also solo'd Tomb of exile with level 37 just because of the stealth. But whats bugging me how do you keep up 5 poison stacks or is it even possible? atm i only have 5 poison stacks with Poison Breath and thats huge burst when i restealth ofc. But is there a way to keep up poisons up to 5 stacks without Poison Breath?

[@smnk064]

Not atm you can keep up 5 stacks long but not 100%

[@zorrilikasstudio9349]

nice video bro! keep going !!! :)

[@Haloxstevo]

Remember kids you can hold down F and spam RMB!!!!!!!

[@iSh0Tu99]

At 8:30 he said press 3. I press 3 but I don't go in stealth.

[@SpydersByte]

+iSh0tYou99 You didn't upgrade your swiftstep did you?

[@TMPDai]

Swiftstep lv 2. Keep in mind that it has long cool down

[@iSh0Tu99]

I figured it out. I had to press 3 twice.

[@Fllopy44]

Can u show us, what do u click? Rotation..

[@M3rcy00]

+Kitsune99 I was wondering how the fk he push rmb and f so fucking fast. l0l. or his ms is under 50.

[@redazu911]

They fixed this right?

[@Stitchismyspiritanimal]

Why did you make your character look like one of those Jersey Shore guys?

[@GodriKtv]

+Gods Tribute didn't know jersery shore guys have red eyes and look like they would RIP you're face off :D

[@Stitchismyspiritanimal]

+GodriKtv Ive only seen the comercials and meme's but you pretty much hit the mark, although they've been known to slap females around even if they do look really bulky. They are a bit more tan tho.

[@alexzag4944]

great guide, Godrik! all i need to do now is make a sin alt Kappa

[@danthetennisman]

Is this build still viable? I tried to perma stealth but I will get out of stealth. Example I'm in stealth with 2 seconds left and I do shadow drain on a poisoned target and I'm left with 1.5 Sec of stealth instead of getting a new 6 seconds of stealth.

[@marcosoccia]

is this still viable ? I'm planning to go back to B&S ..

[@GodriKtv]

Marco Soccia not sure mate it might be. Haven't played it for over a year sorry

[@TMPDai]

what is the tab thing with the poison stack ?

[@GodriKtv]

+Dai Tran a level 38 ability. If you have a poison stack on the the mob/ boss you can press TAB to put you back into stealth again

[@SpookyBlacku]

+GodriKtv I can't seem to find that.. Whats it called?

[@TMPDai]

+Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen I think it's called Hook Kick. I'm still l too low to learn that skill

[@TMPDai]

+GodriKtv Thank you so much. your video is awesome, keep it up

[@minus2196]

+GodriKtv What did you use to apply the poison in that part of the rotation?

[@stick7913]

I had no idea you could rbf so fast, damn australian ping

[@1krono]

Do i need to be lvl 45 to use perma invi?? Cuz i wanna solo the tomb of exile on my lvl 39

[@Aki-bv5jm]

+1krono You don't need to, but soloing it is still gonna be very hard, if not impossible.

[@1krono]

+Aki yea, but i wanna do it, to challenge myself :)

[@Aki-bv5jm]

1krono Actually, nevermind what I said. I just soloed it on lvl 39 myself. Permastealth is the key, tho, or you'll get rekt.

[@1krono]

+Aki lol, was it easy?? How many minutes did it take?

[@Aki-bv5jm]

1krono Not all that much longer than 6-man runs. Having all rewards to yourself without paying a dime is worth it, though. I found it much more fun, too. Reminded me of Dark Souls, except with much more spamming.

[@meanral]

is it really so benefit that half of players buy premium?

[@fafnir9690]

Would much prefer a video of people saying the actual skill name instead of their key binding for their skill. Many people change keybindings

[@Epskie]

Thank you so much Sir.

[@GGSzukalo]

can explain the basic combo, its RMB,f .......

[@judasdapriest]

your attack is fast.. mine is slow... nerfed?

[@Xiviuz]

+Judas Priest i got the same problem :p sometimes i hit fast as shit, but other times i hit slower than a old hag in the 90s

[@Makari126]

will this build got nerfed? seems pretty imba

[@Shinio69]

+ma kari I don't know about numbers but you can still be perma invisible.

[@teentitanbg]

+ma kari No, it's 45 patch.

[@MrStreetballer3]

why dont you spec the F after RB crit and the pve R?? you are loosing dps just by doing this 2 keys rotation

[@SeiRedeye]

+xXxJediSwagMaster420NoScopexXx Wondering the same

[@rjrende]

Can you say that in nooby wording so I can understand? What is pve R

[@MrStreetballer3]

tier 3 form 3 R deals a lot of dmg when the target is poisoned plus refunds 3 chi and doesnt break invisibility, then the F I talk about is tier 2 form 3 lightning pierce that replaces the normal F after you crit with your rb

[@Rigeth]

+rjrende He's talking about weaving in the skill Lightning Rod. He is suggesting picking the Tier 2 upgrade for Darkstrike making it Lightning Pierce. This would keep reducing the cooldown of Lightning rod per hit by 3 seconds. Furthermore the Tier 3, 3rd path Lightning rod upgrade lowers the cooldown to 6 seconds. Shaving off 3 seconds is quite significant on such a low cooldown already and will net you alot of extra focus. Took me awhile to figure out what he was trying to say.

[@MrNeno45]

+Roqr Using Lightning Pierce reduces the cooldown of Lightning Rods by 3 seconds per hit? Where does it say that if so.

[@nukzize]

what is ur ping? i got 200 ping can i use this combo??

[@GodriKtv]

200 wouldn't really be possible sadly as this game pretty you need decent ping !. I am currently sitting on 20-25 ms

[@zichisdead]

+GodriKtv Any tips on animation cancelling? my combos are much slower compared to yours.

[@kqjut3]

+chen its have a relation with your ping, the highest the ping is, the lowest your combo will be. Thats a sad fact about blade and souls for people that dont have a good conection

[@magicc1204]

+Léo Donato its all timing, theres no limit to combos with your pings

[@masquecenamarada945]

+GodriKtv How do i see my ms ?

[@linkherooftime5864]

fuck i love this class

[@crispy_croissant6680]

whats r b f

[@esku5472]

SHIFT-->F-->X-->1-->3-->SS-->1-->Z-->TAB-->X-->1..... something like this

[@olympiakospk1]

feels bad man - cant do this with 200ping rip aus players..

[@gloggare]

fucking hell did a BM to 45 and Dancer to 45 ... think i have to start ower with assasin now =P

[@artezz23]

to fast for watch and remember this XD can you write on comment all combo stelth?:)

[@maliciousmisari1485]

ö.ö I am an 45 Assa and after i use youre Build i got 3points left >-

[@crispy_croissant6680]

sory i dont understand

[@kristufchristuf8487]

This is a major over complication of a simple technique of staying perma stealth, I tested this build/rotation over 200 boss kills (100 with rotation, 100 with simple rotation) compared to just RB/F spamming and moving back then pressing 1 (not even double tapping S) with 45% crit and this rotation on average killed bosses a minute faster, you say but that is a whole minute, yes a minute of over complicated things that could go wrong like wrong button at wrong time, etc, etc. during my testings i had a few doing this rotation but i did not once fail or even get hit by a boss doing the simple Charge into the boss to stealth then spam RB/F til about 1.5 second then move backward and press 1 again not even having to double tap S. Sorry but i'll take a minute longer to kill a boss then take the chance of pressing the wrong thing at the wrong time. Again, nice build/rotation but way over complicated for perma stealth killing and not worth that 1 minute saved. The build is good, the rotation isnt needed.

[@simpsondraws]

+Kristuf Christuf It really isn't complicated, just requires a bit more foresight/awareness of your stealth timer. If you practice you'll get it flawless and kill bosses faster

[@LeoTakuVT]

Yeah, thats not broken at all.

[@yuzurity]

so OP!!rsrsrrs

[@Seichensi]

Over 8 minutes of talking and showing totally useless skills for stealth such as Dark Strike and Mist Slash... to in final show you DON'T KNOW how to perma stealth ( example in 8:49 - randomly used counter, hoping it will work, omg... ). ...Hard to belive so many people liked it.

[@alkimalk2922]

This obnoxious and toxic gaming mechanics was the reason why I gave up the assassin. This class is very spammy and mind-numbing.

[@PenguinsAreColdish]

do you have any clue what toxic means lmao. idk why but it's super exciting to me

[@alkimalk2922]

PenguinsAreColdish ok

[@timangeles5617]

Mate I'm trying to listen to you and pick up important points from your guide but that annoying dance number your character is doing is downright distracting.

[@Ev3r0tonk]

Read Assasins skills before make a video please, ur talent points are annoying bad to pve.
