The idea behind this build was a low level invader which could then be raised as desired to different levels for PvP, sort of like a strong starting class, so some of the upgrades below ( ie +5 moon, +5 makoto) are not necessarily needed at sl 30, depends how nasty you want to be or how you want to progress. (see Dex Samurai for sl 100 - 120) At sl 30 you can use two of the fastest swords in the game, and with the use of a few rings, most of the magic and miracles if you want, with decent armour and shield can get this build up and running with full kit within an hour or so, if you are famillar with the game ( without upgrades, see below) LH 1: makoto + 5 LH2: +5 dark kite shield / wooden cat / talismaid of god or TOB RH 1: moon uchigatana +5 / compound short bow +X (help through levels) RH 2: kriss blade +5 Armour: Leather armour with silver cornet Equip explaned: if using Talismaid of god then u will need to swap out for your cat after casting second chance( or once you level a little highter…inc faith to 18 and use TOB witch you can use for both, this will also free up a ring slot when devout prayer ring is not needed) Rings: Soul form: * cling ring Body form: * regen ring (if using Makoto) How to make most of your rings: to use second chance equip and memorise the mirical in the nexus using ring of devout prayer, travel to world, if NOT invaiding cast second chance straight away then swap devout prayer ring for another (the ones in brackest below). If invading you need to do this as soon as you enter another world as a black phantom, 9 times out of 10 you have more than enough time. In body form you have two basic set ups
in soul form id recomend

Recommended spells/miracles |
At sl 30 with int 15 you will have 2 magic slots avalable. If using ring of magical nature, you will have three slots avaliable spell set ups with ring: without ring: These are set ups that i think would work best but can use as you want to use other spells |
Gameplay tips and progression |
After completing 1-1 and speaking to the monument use your souls to level up vitality to give you as much health as you can (get used to this because its all you will have for a while) and then start working on the others. I planned this build around the magic sword Makoto at first because at base stats it has 1. complete all of world 4 WITHOUT dying in body form, if you do it is a pain to get PWWT to get the Makoto on this play through so i recommend doing it in soul form (make use of your fire toss spell at this early stage). 4-1 4-2 i found this the hardest part, those reapers and lazer men. so if needed, quickly get compound short bow from second tower along the bridge in 1-2 and they should be no problem. you should now be sl 30 easy. 2. once at PWWT enter 4-2 and retrieve the magic sword Makoto (where you met Saint Urbain) 3. with Makoto and regen ring equiped, and uchigatana, if you want to play duel style you can proceed to 3-1 to collect (again your fame toss will do wonders)
4. Get soul ray spell from sage freck for the fools idol demons soul, now you have pretty much every thing you need except the Kriss Knife, so take what you have and complete 2-1 (kriss is on ledge above you just before the elevator to the armoured spider boss) 5. now you have all the wepons needed comp the basic build. all you need to do is beet the Flamelurker to start upgrading (I recomend : soul rays and thieves ring with kriss blade. now you can play as you want, low level invading, farming, get to NG to obtain all the spells you want, level higher ( will post some build progressions soon) NOTE ABOUT SECOND CHANCE: at sl 30 with faith 10 you cant use S/C unless you use the ring of devout prayer.to get the ring you can
NOTE: if you kill urbain you cannot then remember the miracle till next play through. but i did this because i didnt do much invading till second play through any way or just increase faith to 16 if you want to BUILD PROGRESSION ( also look at DEX SAMURAI SL 100 - 120 which is also posted) this is how i progressed this build, i love using the duel sword combo with kriss blade and woodern cat off hand to wip out to finsh off a fleeing opponent or just as a nice little suprise half way through a fight to chatch them off guard. so i slowley increased VIt 40, End 34 till i reached SL 77, enjoying lots of PvP action along the way. Vit - 40 (for inc health) (note i left faith at 10 so am still using ring of devout prayer for second chance, but could inc to 16 at any time you want….id rather have six more stats to add to vit or end) at SL 77 am meeting lots more planed builds and getting buch better fights, have also swaped out my Makoto for a second Moon uchigatana + 5 because it offers more damage and frees up a ring slot. (Note: if you want to continue down the moon path you can inc mag a little for extra damage but if you go above 17 then will cause serious problems for the next progression i have in minde!) PLEASE take the time to see what im actualy doing with this build before you wright it off, the stats stated are a STARTING point for a strong PvP/ chalanging PvE….so the idea is to move up through the SLs and just have a bit of fun on the way, not get stuck fighting the same people around your SL every time (no offence ment there )have not seen a progressive build on here Yet so thats what im trying to do |

started putting this build in but nocked save by mistake, can i go back in and finish it some how??? please help
Don't worrie found it, just being thick
Yeah, so… umm… Very few people PvP at SL 30… beside if you want an ultimate low level PvP build, make dragon weapons, level up until you can use them, and invest the rest in Vitality and Endurance. Anything goes at SL 30, it's at 80 - 120, things start to pay off and get interesting. Well, it's definetly a good starting class, but I'd go for dragon weapons. ;)
still, believe it or not. 1 + from me. ^_^

And since I'm NOT stupid, I'm a slow learner…"
yeah i know there is not many people building builds to stay at sl 30 but you can finde plenty of action from those just passing buy that sl, the idea was never to stay at 30 but to slowly move up the levels just for fun. am at sl 59 i thnk now and is starting to move towards a moon/ bufable sharp wepon build as i think the inc damage from pumping magic up would be much less than if i started investing in dex.
but thats the beauty if this low build…can take it a few directions wich im glad u have seen and not just written it off as a noob basher.
thanks for the pluss and the rec of using dragon wepons they are prob little better your right especialy as i dont think they need to go through 2 damage multipliers, i think, but personsaly i like the moon wepons and finde theme realy easy to farm for comared to other materials… but a good sugestion none the less
thanks again xD
No problem, I believe in the power of constructive feedback. ;D

lol a samurai using a shield what a discrace…
shield is not realy for pvp but just to help through the actual game in places…90% of time ill be using duel swords with kriss and cat in off hands…that sound better or still to disshonorable…ill cut my little finger off now
why do people just give a -1 with no explanation as to why??
I like the idea of this but do u actualy get much action on the way from 30 to 70, nice idea though think I'll try it +1
Thanks for the pluss, at those sl I got lot of action at peak times, do think more people should build low level pvp builds caus there quick to build, I know most builds come into light around 90 to 120 but at low levels you need to make every stat count….thanks for readin and understanding
have just posted my sl 100 - 120 stats ect for how i progressed this build on the wiki ( Dex Sanurai sl 100) after many months of slow leveling up and just enjoying the process….hope you aprove
