Overview

The Basic Dexxer is a simple and reliable melee template built around Chivalry, weapon damage, and strong self-sustain.

It can be adapted to several different weapon styles, making it a good starting point for players who want a traditional melee character without committing to a highly specialized setup.

Aspect Options

Recommended Aspect options include:

  • Water
  • Earth
  • Fire
  • Discipline
  • Holy

The best choice depends on the weapon and playstyle being used.

Chain Links are not a major requirement for getting started.

Focus on accuracy, melee damage, and survivability as the character develops.

Codex Use

  • Chivalry Book

    • Provides healing, buffs, and additional offensive utility.
  • Weapon Skill Codex

    • Provides the abilities associated with the chosen weapon.
  • Parry Codex

    • Provides defensive abilities when using a shield.
  • Healer’s Codex

    • Improves the effectiveness of the Healing component of the build.

Additional Codex info is in the build card

Equipment

  • Grinding Light weapon and Shield
  • Grinding Medium weapon
  • Platemail

A shield provides high armor while a two-handed weapon can be used when additional damage is preferred.

Farming/Gameplay

Use your weapon to deal consistent melee damage while Chivalry and bandages provide sustain.

A shield setup provides additional armor and defense, while a two-handed weapon trades some defense for increased damage.

Additional Notes

The recommended starting skills are 50 Weapon Skill, 49 Tactics, and 1 Chivalry.

Training Credits can be used for 50 Healing and 50 Parrying.

Dexxers can be slower to develop than some other builds, but become much stronger as equipment and Codex investment improve.

Prioritize accuracy and swing speed. Chivalry’s Divine Fury is particularly useful for reaching swing speed goals.
