[Guide]The massive Chinese INT based characters guide – Everything About INT Chinese

Before I share with you my experience of 3 years about “INT based characters”, I would like to clear some points:
1) Let your opinion>guide, not guide>opinion.
2) INT bow man is included.
3) Many, many INT options are included.
Ok! Let’s start.
1)The full INT S/S:
Ok, so you want to start a full INT sword and shield?
Cool, a sword and shield full int man is a good character, with some defence of the shield you can tank, and deal a good damage to kill an enemy….
1) Masteries & options:
Light
Fire
Bicheon
Heuksal
Cold
Note:i will not be posting pictures, that guide is not for pictures.

1st:Light100/Cold100/Bicheon100 (Recommended)
-Your Imbue will basically be the “Thunder Force Series”.
-Your basic damage dealing skills are the nukes of light.
-You got only 1 nuke up-to-date so basically you may Nuke>KD>Combo or what ever…
-Basic builds got nothing to discuss since that’s the popular (Typical) build of a nuker.
-Armor/protector is your way.
-Just to point out some stuff: you mainly will have no immunity toward any burn/light shock but who cares about these, you will be an easy freeze target by some 70:70 cold bowers.
__________________________________________________ _______
2nd:Ligh100/Cold100/Fire100
Lots of people going for that build these days, its mainly working as a “Chinese wizard”

-That build is more to a power leveller than a normal pvper build, you got no disablers, and you can be disabled super fast (Kd, stun, kb…etc).
-Armor/protector is your way.



__________________________________
3rd:Fire100/Bicheon100/cold100
-That build is not the best, and is not the worst…its the own choice….its not a bad build actually as you got 2 fire nukes up to date level 83, 96..not only a level 90 one..
-U will have a great immune of freeze of the bowers or any cold user, but on the other hand you will not have the MAG attack increase buff or the speed/ghost phantom skills.
Here are some tips:
1) You can always put light on level 20 to help you grind faster with a speed skill, and then you can de-level it later.
2) If you are not farming, MAKE SURE YOU FIRE IMBUE IS UP TO DATE! It’s your hope…
3) Always keep your level 43 nuke up to date.
4) Jobbing with a 100% speed scroll will not hurt your economy.
5) Armor/protector is your way.
Ok now the s/s INT builds are finished!!
___________________________________________
2) Hybrid:
You want to be a hybrid? Nice, you will tank and deal damage but not as much as a nuker of course…
An INT hybrid is one of the complicated builds beside the Warlock/Cleric…
Because: There is no popular (Recommend build of a hybrid) there are many forms of a hybrid
__________________________________________________ _______________
9:1(every 9 INT one STR) (Light recommended) (56% PHY blance/89% MAG balance)
8:1(every 8 INT one STR) (Light recommended) (57% PHY balance/88% MAG balance)
7:1(every 7 INT one STR) (Fire recommended) (58% PHY balance/87% MAG balance)
5:1(every 5 INT one STR) (Fire recommended) (60% PHY balance/85% MAG balance)
2:1(so stupid, and it only appeared in the lvl 60, 70 and early 80 cap)
I prefer 7:1 hybrid build the most, it was the first proper hybrid since the rise of Silk Road online in the 70 cap, and I own a level 98 7:1 Fire hybrid.
_____________________________
1)9:1 Hybrid spear.
Some how it’s the most popular (Typical) hybrid build with light100/Heuksal100/cold100.
-Again that build can be an easy target to freeze by any cold user unless you pimp your acc.
-That build is perfect with the level 80 snow shield can do a lot, but not too much to live without snow shield.
-Protector is recommended for that build. It will not help with… 300vs1, or massive, massive job wars…(which only happen in Csro :S)
_____________________________________
2)8:1(Just like the 9:1, no difference)
_____________________________________
3)7:1/5:1
From now on you got many choices, as you can build your own build on your own way.
Known options:
1) light100/cold100/heuksal100 (Not the best).
2) Light100/Cold80 (7x)/heuksal100/Fire2x (for immunity with pimped acc) (Not the best).
3) Fire100/cold100/heuksal100 (not the best).
4) Fire100/Heuksal100/Light32/cold 68 (high Magical/PHY. damage) (low PHY defense) (Not the best).
5) Fire100/Heuksal100/light40/cold60 (higher Magical/PHY. damage) (lower PHY. defense) (Not the best).
6) Fire100/Heuksal100/Light60/Cold40 (Highest Magical/PHY. damage) (lowest PHY. defense) (Not the best).
7) Fire 100/Heuksal100/any combination between Light and cold. (Not the best).
Note:if you can see i wrote “(Not the best) next to each build simple because there is no best build.

Words in general:
-7:1 hybrid is a good one; don’t ever think that kind of hybrid got a high M.DEF from the 7 INT each some levels.
No you are totally wrong, actually it needs more and more MAG def so you can tank some hard nukes of the full INT spear men.
-In pvp a 7:1 will mainly use 1 or 2 nukes EVERY ATTACK CYCLE plus stun/spin/dull the enemy alot, so your basic skills are heuksal in pvp, nukes in training.
-Hybrids in general are INT based, don’t ever forget that, don’t whine about your low Hp or something, its still a type of a nuker.
__________________________________________________ __________
Every build in details:
1) Light 100/cold100/Heuksal100
Why Light?
-Light got the awesomeness in the MAG attack buff.
-Parry ratio so if some one’s hit ranges between 10k~15k the damage will stick to 10K.
-Ghost phantom and speed skill, helpfull in jobwars, phantoming to safe zone from 100vs1 people…
Cold: snow shield and phy buff.
Heuksal:Stun/dull/spins…fast spear moves.
Equipment:i recomend for that build GARMENT!!!!
Why garment:
1)You will not die without snow shield from 1 nuke of a full int spearman nuker….as i said you really really need more magical defence.
2)Glaviers, bowers phy hit is 3/4 based on the imbue…so that count as a magical atack.
3)Reduce your Mp consumption, skills wouldnt consume much, so you give snow shield a chance not to kill your mp if a bower crit.
4)The phy.defence diffrence of the protector and the garment not worth the loss of the mag.defence.
5)You dont have the mag defence buff of fire.
__________________________________________________
2)Fire100/Cold100/Heuksal100.
Thats my actuall build.
That build can tank without snow shield, as you see it got both max mag defence and phy defence.
Why fire?
1)Best imbue.
2)2 uptodates nukes
3)Phy damage increase buff/passive as you are a 7:1 more str higher phy balance.
4)Max Immunity.
5)MOST IMPORTANT the Magical defense buff…
-For that build you can take both..protector or garment (I took garment).
-The phy. defence diffrence of the protector and the garment not worth the loss of the mag.defence(be discussed later).
Tips:
1)You can always put light on lvl 20 to help you grind faster with a speed skill, then you can dlvl it later.
2)If you are not farming, MAKE SURE YOUR FIRE IMBUE IS UPTODATE! its your hope…
3)Always keep your lvl 43 nuke up to date.
4)Jobbing with a 100% speed scroll will not hurt your economy.
__________________________________________________
3)-Fire100/Heuksal100/Light32/cold 68 (high Magical/phy damage)(low phy defence)(not the best).
—Fire100/Heuksal100/light40/cold60(higher Magical/Phy damage)(lower phy defence)(not the best).
—Fire100/Heuksal00/Light60/Cold40 (Highest Magical/phy damage)(lowest phy defence)(not the best).
These are some newer builds, based on the Fire mastery…people made these build not to lose the mag atack buff.
So if you will chose one of these builds, you can go with Garment or protector, with the help of the 42% snow shield.
__________________________________________________ ________
Last words for the 7:1/5:1 hybrid:
Fire Vs light AND/OR Garment VS Protector AND/OR Parry ratio Vs Raw defense:
Fire:
Imbue:Fire got the best imbue out there.
Skills:
-Fire got the phy damage increase buff/passive which helps you
since you have more str points that a 9:1 or a 8:1, more str points more phy balance/damage.
-Fire got the most important skill(imo) for a hybrid 7:1 which is Mag def increase buff, its helps you if you are with a protector to prevent 1 nuke (of full int spearmen/sword and shield) death without a snow shield.
If you are with a garment most likely you will not die.
Nukes:2 uptodate nukes of lvl 83 and the 96 awsomeness.
Light:
Imbue:way weaker than the fire one.
Skills:beside the phantom and the speed skill and the shout which helps in powerlvling, the Mag attack increase buff is perfect and fits almost every int char, but it endsin lvl 88 (18% mag increase).
- the parry ratio increase buff/passive.
Nuke: only a lvl 90 one, and a lvl 70 one which is not soo uptodate as the 2 nukes of fire.
Some people said:
1)”No way to live without the fire imbue of lvl 98 in high lvls”
3)”Light imbue + mag atack buff=Fire imbue”
4)”Str nuker is the solution”
If you asked me, i would tell you its all about “Parry ratio vs Raw defence”
Parry ratio Vs Defense
so after you saw that more people voted for raw defence is light pwned by fire and cold? no its personal choice.

3)Full int spearman
Light100/Cold100/Heuksal100(Recomended)
-Your Imbue will basicly be the “Thunder Force Series”.
-Your basic damage dealing skills are the nukes of light, you are the master of chinese damage no one can stand your nukes att all.
-You got only 1 nuke uptodate so basicly you may Stun>Nuke>Spin>Dull or what ever…
-Armor/protector is your way.
-Like the s/s nuker you will have no imunnity toward any burn/light shock but who cares about these, u will be freezed by some 70:70 cold bowers.
___________________________________
4)INT bowers: (Credits to: Zakku Emanyueru)
-For int bowers you got 3 simple choices.
1)70:70.
2)6:1 or lowers ratio of INT.
3)Full int (not Recomended).

6:1 or less str hybrid:
100Fire/100cold/100pacheon (recommended) OR 100light/100cold/100pacheon (choose your style depending on what said before).
-A typical build (populated) INT bower type.

-Protector is your way.

Words from”Zakku Emanyueru” :
“Any INT based bower is good build, just learn how to use them, as usual you need to find your INT build (for me in bower its somewhere at 7:1/65:10 build with light cold) get used to it, etc
if you use this build in a good way not a random one (123 players -_-) you can manage to do alot, its more advanced than usual nuker but much better also (imo and many people says so)”
__________________________________________________ ___
PVP Typical/Common strategies:
Note:Use the fire/ice wall in the right time, don’t mess up, the fast recover of your hp is the first priority than the damage you make unless snow shield is about to end
1)Hybrids/Full int spearman:
-Stun(if succeeded) Nuke+Spin+Dull+stun
-Stun(Failed)Dull+Stun(succeeded) Nuke+Spin+Dull+stun…(Use the fire/ice wall in the right time, don’t mess up your hp is the first priority than the damage)
2)Fire/light/cold nuker: Easy Nuke+Nuke+Nuke+Nuke
3)Fire/cold/bicheon OR Light/Cold/ bicheon: Nuke+Kd+Combo+Nuke+Kd+Combo…
