With the defensive benefits of Skarn’s Defiance, players have an ever-reliable source of constant damage as soon as they get close enough to enemies.

Not only that, the weapon’s Ardent Cyclone special allows players to become unstaggerable as they spin and deal damage to enemies, giving them the opportunity to outlast mobs. It’s the fast-paced nature of this sword that makes Dauntless quite an engaging free-to-play game. Where this kit really shines is through Inferno’s Razor, which endows the eighth strike with both boosted and blaze damage. As such, Swords that give them more movement-based attack options may favor them greatly. After all, the weapon may have quick strikes, but they are always paced enough for players to continue momentum or switch directions whenever necessary. Players favor the Sword for its rather tempo-based gameplay. Tenacious: Get bonus damage for every 100 current HP.Rage: Deal more damage after taking damage.Energized: Boosts weapon meter gain rate.Aetheric Attunement: Boosts recharge rate of Lantern ability.Adrenaline: Boosts damage based on Stamina spent.This would allow players to tear through monsters much faster than usual the longer they stay in combat. This is courtesy of its charge-based explosion specials, as well as Perks that incentivize staying in combat through damage escalation. With the right Omnicell and Mods, this Sword easily rakes up additional damage numbers even during normal attacks. Through Skarn’s Defiance, players get a nifty shield that not only constantly attacks foes but defers unnecessary attacks from other creatures. At its core, this toolkit highlights the ease of access but also the efficiency of the acquisition of the Valomyr’s Regard, courtesy of access to its monsters in the early game of Dauntless. Speed and aggression are key in this build, with the goal of the kit to precisely maximize the Sword’s balance of speed and aggression.
