Trap Sniper for Guild League and Siege: controls entry paths with enhanced elemental traps. Physical damage that scales from INT and DEX.
Some sources
Our take
The RO New World team's own view
- Pick this only if you play Guild League or Siege and want to control entry paths. For PvE, skip it; ADL and Falconer are more efficient there.
- Our order: Enhanced Elemental Trap to Lv.10, the Master Enhance apocalypse trait so every trap placed within 6 s is enhanced, then Razor Trap, Hair Trigger and Chain Deployment. Raise INT and DEX together.
- The common mistake is treating it as a magic build because it uses INT. The traps deal physical damage, so stack physical damage and physical DEF-ignore. Lay traps on Assassin entry paths and Knight charge lanes, not under your own frontline.
- Our verdict: a second build for a Sniper who already farms with ADL or Falconer, not a main. The trade-off is almost no PvE value, and its cards and runes are still open, so you fill those slots yourself.
Stat Priority
- 1. INT
- 2. DEX
Raise INT and DEX together; the traps still deal physical damage, so use physical damage and physical DEF-ignore bonuses, not magic ones.
