Hot to survive or counter SB sinxs

[horo]

It's core, and they're used to get more hit. Not a bad thing to use against high flee chars.

Tanking EDP SB in PvP. Good luck with that. Even average SinX can oneshot pretty much anyone.

Elements, guess them correctly.. know who you're playing against.

It's not that hard to read your average opponent SinX. They will almost always poison or neutral.  It changes ff they throw in verters, tag respectively, this is where most of the guessing/knowing comes into play.

I can't say I've mastered reading my opponents 100%, but most of the time I can call it right, it's not like im just bluntly tagging to a random element, you just gotta keep in mind what element your opponent favors most of the time and why.

tanking off wind endowed SB while being frozen simply because you tagged to a wind muff is another example.

It pays off to practice switching elements and I dare you to play vs a wiz without tagging elements properly. Same for sinxes, if you don't have swall you gotta do something.


Link + EDP is too OP though, no chance in hell you can tank that as a sniper.

Getting Agriope/ED is pretty much a good strategy, few people nowadays in pservers tend to ignore other elements, in other words, they will prolly not endow fire/earth/wind/water themselfs before the fight, unless they get smart that is

[Sarin]

choice of elements...each has its advantages (except probably water). Fire is good against ED and stonecursed chars, but reduced by Valkyrie shield. Earth is easiest element to get, and can surprise people expecting you to go for freeze and kill strategy, and is not reduced by Valk shield. Wind is one of most actually used cause of freeze, and is also not reduced by valk shield. Poison is used against people that are expected to use marc instead of ED like priests.
Anyway, sadly the most of tactics used by SinX are only about a) when to grim and when to SB, b) fast enough with thara switch. Use that to your advantages.

holy/earth is the way to go, as few people have angeling and earth armor doesn't reduce earth damage (gj grav =^.^=)

[Relics]

yeah lol, I have a hard time with earth converters or aspersio.

But RARELY do sinxes have the brain to go earth, some tricky people I know actually use them just to screw me over.. hode card patches that hole up though.

If it's aspersio, I'm either going prof or my friend goes prof and helps me out.

You do realize Earth1 still recieves full damage from Earth element attacks, right?

[Relics]

Yes I do?

Hode card is the muffler card which reduces 30% from earth prop attacks

sandman is the earth enchanting card

hode card over raydric/noxious even for a second takes huge guts

Whoops...*facepalms for my fail*

Right. Although this thread is for SinX-counter tips, I'll give some counter-counter tips.

Make use of Jakk, Marse, Dustiness, and Hode cards.

I personally have the latter two, and they come out pretty useful in certain WoE/PvP situations.

Don't forget the elemental resist headgear cards too.

PS: Felt like giving out another of my mindgame tips :/ Enchant Poison when you know that your opponent can see you use it, but not close enough to kill you during your skill delays. If he's decent, he will definitely switch from Marc to ED. Cloak back, switch to a slotted Fire Katar, and SB his donkey back to sister Kafra.

wow so much help! thanks alot.

I'll see and test your your eq suggestions.

well before returning to this topic of mine here are some tricks I tried

Kaupe + KE = 2hit till KO

then I FA spam given I was under braggis (foolish me not knowing the in my servers pvp room braggi wasnt abbundunt) this tactic only worked once.

i then tried cloaking to with the use of frilldora = failed as my falcon can be seen

i then tried placing traps around me but the sinx just wated till they where out.

the one thing I did do goo though was I made good use of terrain. The sinx i fight uses backslide alot when detected which annoys me so what I do is I go to bottom part are of izlude or the lower left are where buildings are blocking is way to escape haha! anyways thanks again for the suggestions I will see to them.

oh btw the score now is 8-17 me with 8 wins XD
