 +* The [[Martial arts]]/[[Unarmed combat]] bonuses do help you a lot if you've gone through either [[Hawkmen]] or [[Aisenshi]].
 +* Wielding a dagger is crucial for 2 of your combat maneuvers.
 +* If you have the steps. Make sure at least 1 area your able to port to is considered a city-type square. That way you can port in and out. Skill/distance seem to affect this now. Make sure you have the order energy to port there to recharge.
 +* If you come across [[Pathfinder]] or somebody says they're giving it away take it. Its a randomload Sparrow bond dagger--->Trust me you'll like it. Remember to flip the switch on it.
 +* Groups go with you. If you're grouping make sure you tell them when your almost at your limit. Otherwise you'll lose your out.
 +* Try and use the combat mode Patient. Ya do hit more and do more damage with less attacks. Which in the end means less order energy used. Its a huge benefit for both soloing or grouping.
 +* The Pulse attack has the effect of often removing armor from the limb which it hits. On occasion, it will also remove the limb.
 +* The Rift attack takes its damage type at least in part from the damage type of the dagger with which it is performed, with a strong element of order damage.

Tips

  • Ego, Willpower, and streetwise seem to help with the amount of order charged per tick.

This makes certain challenges.. Well more challenging. Akrasia ends up being more of a pain in the ass than it should.

  • Coven seem better able to join due to access to Streetwise specs and Leah. Brotherhood of Wine and Song is an alternative.
  • The Martial arts/Unarmed combat bonuses do help you a lot if you've gone through either Hawkmen or Aisenshi.
  • Wielding a dagger is crucial for 2 of your combat maneuvers.
  • If you have the steps. Make sure at least 1 area your able to port to is considered a city-type square. That way you can port in and out. Skill/distance seem to affect this now. Make sure you have the order energy to port there to recharge.
  • If you come across Pathfinder or somebody says they're giving it away take it. Its a randomload Sparrow bond dagger--->Trust me you'll like it. Remember to flip the switch on it.
  • Groups go with you. If you're grouping make sure you tell them when your almost at your limit. Otherwise you'll lose your out.
  • Try and use the combat mode Patient. Ya do hit more and do more damage with less attacks. Which in the end means less order energy used. Its a huge benefit for both soloing or grouping.
  • The Pulse attack has the effect of often removing armor from the limb which it hits. On occasion, it will also remove the limb.
  • The Rift attack takes its damage type at least in part from the damage type of the dagger with which it is performed, with a strong element of order damage.
