Sakuya Izayoi Guides

Elysdeon + Mark of Blood Melee rape

• Skills to buy: V B B B F
  • 7 Points into damage, 1 point into HP
• Uniques: Elsydeon at 5 minutes, Mark of Blood later on when you have spare money.

Having Elysdeon makes it very easy to kill people, as they will have the -7 armor. You should have absolutely no trouble killing anyone in the early-mid game. Late game, you might have trouble, but Sakuya's F makes up for that easily.

• Recommended items: Archery Gloves, Pathfinders

Buy other survival items as required, depending on the situation.

Combat Tactics

The best way to initiate is to attack from fog, using Sakuya's extreme range to your advantage. This also lets you charge a few Eternal Meek buffs. Try not to idle too much while attacking, move forward between knives so you don't lose the target. Trigger V as soon as you feel its necessary, which should let you get 1-2 more hits on the target. For those unsure, just trigger it as soon as your second hit from fog hits them, or first if they have fast reflexes.

D is useful, but I'd recommend that you not rely on it so much since its unreliable and has a long cooldown. It might be better with the upgraded form, but you should be able to kill without using D too often. Best to use it if you're running away, since it buys you a few seconds of extra time to run away.

When you get Sakuya's World, try to get your teammates to lure the enemy to you while you cast it. This way you get an ideal casting position and get to surprise the enemy, allowing you to easily kill at least one, maybe two, of them. Another nice method is to cast it if you're running away from the enemy after breaking line of sight, so you get to reverse the situation.
