Time Walker Dark World Builds, Strategies & Skills
This Time Walker Dark World Builds, Strategies & Skills guide will show you detailed about general builds, classes, skills and strategies in the game!
Strategy
This is the strategy I used to unlock all characters (last tier needs to MVP on hell difficulty with each character)
Beating the First Boss:
- Using these builds I usually need 1 Fighter (for tanking) and 1 DPS. (Note: Review below Section for Berserker and Boxer exceptions)
- After I have the above I save the class items to combine for the advanced classes
- I use all Defensive upgrades on Main Tank, Offensive upgrades on Main DPS, put the Health upgrades on the Main Tank at the start but get the Main DPS up to 3000 health when you start getting attacked on both sides
- I don’t use Anger (Advanced Class) much as it is melee and I find it worse than Firefist and Sorcerer
- I didn’t unlock the skills Sacrificial Fortitude or Bio Skin as I didn’t think they fit into my builds and I wanted to keep the card pool smaller, but I usually easily get the whole build by the end of the game so this is not required
- When upgrading the shop it rerolls the skills so be sure to buy all the skills you want before upgrading. When you do upgrade the shop you get a bunch of free rerolls so use these before spending gold on rerolling.
- Always fight purple levels (Except if you are low on souls in the last zone)
Defensive Skills
When referring to a defensive skill in the future I mean one the following:
- Taunt
- Raging Impact
- Frozen Aura
- DMG Amplification
- Defense Enhancement
- Speed Boost
- Furious Punch
- Furious Power
- Turtleborn
Note: By endgame I want at least 1 copy of all of the above at level 3 for combinations or use
Main Team – Early Game
For Character Selections pick Fighter + Priest + Idol + Any DPS Class (Note: Review the below section for Berserker and Boxer exceptions)
- Tank – Fighter class – 3 Defensive Skills
- Healer – Beginner or Idol class – Defensive or Healing skills (Basic Healing, Healing, Gentle Rainfall and Heavenly Song)
- Main DPS – Class of DPS – Skills listed in sections below
- Off DPS – Rockie class – Range DPS’s skills or skills you will use in the future that wont fit on other characters
Main Team – Late Game
- Tank – Veteran or Templar class – Furious Punch, Power of Black Tortoise EX, Frost Taunt EX
- Healer – Apostle or Star class – Stronghold Healing EX, Swift Dew EX, Celestial Melody EX
- Main DPS – Advanced class of DPS – Furious Power (to avoid 1 shots and help getting 3000 health), Other skills listed in sections below
- Off Tank – Veteran or Templar class – Secondary Copies of Heavenly Song or Defensive skills (whatever shows up a lot for you in the run)
Classes
Note: If you do not have the EX skill unlocked, just pick one of the ingredient skills for that slot instead
Assassin/Ninja:
- Notes: Scales off Critical Hits, one of the weaker classes in my opinion
- Offensive Skill 1: Shadow Dagger + Frozenblood Veins > Frost Dagger EX
- Offensive Skill 2: Inertial Strike + Frozen Strike > Frost Blast EX
Archer/Marksman:
- Notes: Scales off attack speed
- Offensive Skill 1: Gentle Breeze + NorMore Attacks > Storm Rage EX
- Offensive Skill 2: Ice Elemental Thrust + Icy Multishot > Ice Scatter EX
Mage/Sorcerer
- Notes: Scales off casts and exclusive skill casts very fast, the strongest class in my opinion
- Offensive Skill 1: Magic Bullet Scatter + Frost Shackles > Frost Scatter EX
- Offensive Skill 2: Burning Fireball + Flame Burst > Flame Burst EX
Pirate/Captain
- Notes: Scales off physical casts (typo in game says magical, but its actually physical) + fire damage. Doesn’t scale with attack speed
- Offensive Skill 1: Bomb Throw + Flameblood Veins > Fire Blood Bomb EX
- Offensive Skill 2: Melting Shot
Knight/Lord
- Notes: Scales off casting (magical or physical), normal attacks and ice damage
- Offensive Skill 1: Frost Charge + Frozenblood Veins > Frost Thrust EX
- Offensive Skill 2: Ice Elemental Thrust + Icy Multishot > Ice Scatter EX
Lightninger/Thunderer
- Notes: Scales off Thunder damage, Spark and a bit of Fire Damage.
- Offensive Skill 1: Lighting Chain + Explosive Shot > Lightning Fire EX
- Offensive Skill 2: Flame Burst + Thunder Orb > Thunder Blast EX
Berserker and Boxer Classes
- I have found these two classes don’t work as well in my regular setup as a Fighter + Berserker/Boxer + Rockie + Beginner composition has a really hard time beating the first boss.
- Instead I like using both together as hybrid Tank/DPS setups (with Berserker main tank) with two healers (Star + Apostle)
- Recommended to go Fighter + Berserker + Boxer (if you cant get both Berserker and Boxer before the first boss use an Idol) early then hold out for the advanced classes.
- Apostle or Star should be setup the same way as the normal build, and just get as much duplicate healing as possible on the other one (only use Furious Power defensive, rest are melee range)
- Berserker gets most upgrades, try and keep both Berserker and Boxer’s HP up (with Boxer slightly higher as he has less defense)
- Notes: This build is good at getting the no deaths achievement
Since you don’t really need Taunt and you dont want to lower your DPS with turtleborn, there is less defensives you want to take, still equip one per character
Defensive Skills:
- Raging Impact
- DMG Amplification
- Defense Enhancement
- Speed Boost
- Furious Punch
- Furious Power
Berserker/Champion
- Notes: Scales off taking damage and physical damage
- Offensive Skill 1: Flame Whirlwind Slash + Thunder Orb > Lightning Slash EX
- Offensive Skill 2: Inertial Strike + Frozen Strike > Frost Blast EX
Boxer/Firefist
- Notes: Scales off fire damage
- Offensive Skill 1: Blaster + Dragonkin Bloodline > Dragon Flame EX
- Offensive Skill 2: Fireball + Flame Burst > Flame Burst EX
