[(L20 Bird Guide)] After-Nerf Updated
Hello, Community and today, I have a very special suprise for you! :P It's my bird guide! Most of the guides you search up on L16/L18/L20 Bird are outdated now, since the bird fall. I mean, older birds quit because of the impact this had. Now, you're probrably not going to get a game with a bird in it 10-20. Many other birds still active (Explain, Ambulances, Soundset, Farwhal, etc.) continue to try persuading other people to join the L10-20 Bird Community, which is rather small, but with determination, we can bring it back!
Hold on tight, please, because this is one descriptive, yet powerful guide. (Not trying to brag.)
I: Build
II: Critical Power; Tips
III: Q&A
I: Build
6 Focus 6 Break 3 Shattering 1 Repulse 1 Blast 1 Root 1 Blind This is my nuke build as a 20 Bird. Normally, I use L20 Sniper/Jewel Thief Helmet, L15 Expert, L20 Sniper/Jewel Talon, L20 Huntress Shield, L20 67 Dex Crit/Damage ring. It would be extremely vital to use this setup against Bear because of talon + huntress extra Hit % (shields HS, Light, Blind, etc. effects). You can swap talon + huntress shield for Forgotten Bow.
3 Focus 5 Evade 1 Break 1 Shattering 3 Repulse 4 Blast 1 Root 1 Blind This is my sustain build. It is a very viable build because kite is ensured with 3 Repulse, and maximal damage is ensured with 4 Blast. Use the same loadout as above, but sometimes, when you're fighting Forgotten Bow Bear/Mage/Rhino, Armsan or Artisan will work.
1 Focus 5 Evade 1 Break 1 Shattering 3 Repulse 6 Blast 1 Root 1 Blind This is quite not that different from the sustain build, but it adds more damage output than crit chance output. Use same loadout on both builds above.
II: Critical Power; Tips
Soundset's Tips!
Soundset On Bears:"Kite. Practice applying the range of your skills."
Soundset On Mages:"Depends on the Mage. Spread out your skills and damage. Wait for heal to come out and then nuke."
Shivkabob Tips! (me ofc -_-)
Shivkabob On Bears:"Kite is very vital. Use maximal range on your shots, and practice using your eyes to see an obvious attempt of juke."
Shivkabob On Birds:"This is the only thing pretty much of duel that you go up close on. Neatly (lel) plant down Break-BackOff-Blind-Root-Shat-Blast, repeat and rinse off your enemy.
Shivakbob On Foxes:"This is very much like Bear, but the VERY vital thing here (I mean very) is dodge. L5 Forged Armsman is the best in this job, along with Dodge/Armor ring.
Shivkabob On Rhinos:"Use bird tip and equip Forged Armsman with Dodge/Armor ring.
Critical! RANGE:
-All your shots are 12m. (If you miss Repulse, you're done, unless you can walk out the cooldown on it.)
-Root is 10m. (If you waste Repulse and miss Root, you're done IMMEDIATELY. If you miss Root, and got Repulse, you're fine for a while.)
-Shattering is 8m.
ESSENTIAL COMBOS

III: Q&A
Q: Shiv, is it true that your guide sucks?
A: Idk. It's based on your opinion, please.
Q: What if you duel a L22 Bear?
A: I wouldn't reccomend it, although you can deal at least 3/4 tops until you get killed off by Beck-HS-Slash-Stomp.
Q: HS is so hard for me to counter. Help?
A: I would reccomend you maximize your knowledge on range. Repulse has a longer range than HS, so use it at full capicity. If you miss, walk it out, or try to counter HS with Root.
Q: Why not 6 Blind? (Fear)
A: 6 Blind is not a priority, because yes, the damage is huge, but I just don't prefer it over upgraded skills such as 3 Repulse (Extra Knockback) and buffs. If Blind is such as prioritized usage, I suppose 3 Focus 5 Evade 6 Blind 1 Root 1 Shatt 3 Blast.
Thank you for sticking with me! <3 Try to improve me by sending criticises and help for Q&A!
