Rapid Fire
ULTIMATE
Daredevil attacks the nearest enemy five times. Every subsequent shot increases its damage by 25%, causing the pressure to escalate throughout the sequence.
Daredevil is a backline Marksman whose opening damage does not tell the full story. She wants momentum, Critical Hits, additional attacks and enough time for her Physical Attack to continue growing throughout the battle.
DAREDEVIL'S KIT
SKILLS
Big Badda Boom!
SECOND SKILL
Daredevil throws a bomb into the center of the enemy formation, damaging heroes inside the blast radius. The bomb always deals Critical Damage.
Fire Support
CORE INTERACTION
Whenever an ally positioned behind Daredevil successfully performs a basic attack, Daredevil responds with an additional basic attack of her own.
Thirst for Blood
SNOWBALL
Every Critical Hit Daredevil deals permanently increases her Physical Attack for the remainder of the battle.
HOW DAREDEVIL WORKS
THE DAREDEVIL ENGINE
Daredevil should not be viewed as a collection of isolated Skills. Her mechanics feed into one another and can create a snowball as the battle continues.
Critical Hits
activate Thirst for Blood.
Thirst for Blood
increases Physical Attack.
Fire Support
creates additional attacks.
Additional attacks
generate Energy.
Energy
brings Rapid Fire back sooner.
Positioning matters. Fire Support specifically reacts to successful basic attacks from allies positioned behind Daredevil. The important question therefore is not only who deals damage with her, but who can make Daredevil fire more often.
DEVELOPMENT PRIORITY
SKINS
Daredevil currently has five Skins covered by this guide. Critical Hit Chance takes first priority because Critical Hits directly support the mechanic behind Thirst for Blood.
01
CRITICAL HIT CHANCE
02
PHYSICAL ATTACK
03
HEALTH
04
ARMOR
05
DEFAULT AGILITY
If Daredevil eventually receives another Critical Hit Chance or Physical Attack Skin, it would deserve serious priority consideration.
DEVELOPMENT PRIORITY
GLYPHS
01
CRITICAL HIT CHANCE
02
MAGIC DEFENSE
03
HEALTH
04
PHYSICAL ATTACK
05
AGILITY
Bring all five Glyphs to Level 40. Beyond that, do not automatically continue pushing everything unless you are specifically pursuing Skill Class progression or have a clear account-specific reason.
DEVELOPMENT PRIORITY
ARTIFACTS
01
Book
Critical Hit Chance + Physical Attack. Two fundamental offensive stats for Daredevil.
02
Weapon
Provides a teamwide Physical Attack bonus when Daredevil activates Rapid Fire.
03
Ring
Provides Agility, contributing additional Physical Attack and value against physical opponents through Main Stat.
GIFT OF THE ELEMENTS
MAX IT
Daredevil wants the additional Physical Attack and Health. She is a damage dealer whose strength can increase as the fight continues, so she needs enough development to remain alive and keep the engine running.
BOTH OPTIONS MATTER
TALISMANS
FIRST TALISMAN
Agility + Armor Penetration
Provides Agility together with Armor Penetration, an important offensive stat when Daredevil faces properly developed defenses.
ETERNAL FRONTIER SHOP • 700,000 FRONTIER COINS
SECOND TALISMAN
Armor Penetration + Physical Attack
Reverses the offensive emphasis by combining Armor Penetration with direct Physical Attack.
SPECIAL-EVENT AVAILABILITY
Both Talismans are genuinely useful offensive options. Armor Penetration is particularly important when Daredevil needs her physical attacks to remain effective against developed defenses.
MECHANICS & SUPPORT
HEROES THAT CAN ENABLE DAREDEVIL
Different allies support different parts of Daredevil's engine. These interactions should be considered together with positioning and the matchup rather than as one mandatory team.
Sebastian
Rhythm of War can add significant extra damage to Daredevil's Critical Hits.
Jet
Can help Daredevil create more Critical Hits and therefore more opportunities to activate Thirst for Blood.
Guus
Can contribute to her Critical Hit pressure through Golden Feathers.
Elmir
His clones can create additional successful regular attacks capable of producing more Fire Support triggers.
Dark Star
Her shadow copy can contribute additional regular attacks and therefore interact with Fire Support.
Fox
Can provide Armor Penetration support, helping Daredevil's physical damage become more effective.
Isaac
Another source of Armor Penetration support for Daredevil's physical pressure.
Julius
His shield can contribute Attack Speed and help accelerate Daredevil's attacking process.
Polaris
Glacial Fortress can slow down what the enemy is trying to accomplish while Daredevil's side develops pressure.
HOW TO DISRUPT THE ENGINE
COUNTERS
CONTROL
Polaris
Repeated control interferes with Daredevil's rhythm. Every interruption is time she is not attacking, generating the same pressure or moving toward another Rapid Fire.
RETALIATION
Corvus
When Daredevil produces AoE damage through Big Badda Boom, Corvus' Altar can retaliate against her, turning her own aggression into incoming punishment.
OFFENSIVE DISRUPTION
Somna
Somna can interfere with two important parts of Daredevil's offensive profile: Physical Attack and Armor Penetration.
The objective is to attack Daredevil's engine before Thirst for Blood has enough time to snowball: control her, punish her AoE, reduce her offensive stats, disrupt the heroes enabling Fire Support and deny her a comfortable battle.
FINAL TAKEAWAY
BUILD THE ENGINE
Daredevil is not simply five shots from Rapid Fire. She is a system.
Critical Hits feed Thirst for Blood. Thirst for Blood feeds Physical Attack. Fire Support creates additional attacks. Additional attacks create Energy. Energy brings Rapid Fire back.
Prioritize her Critical Hit engine, give her the Physical Attack and survivability needed to capitalize on it, respect Armor Penetration and pay close attention to the heroes positioned around her.
Give Daredevil the support, positioning and time she needs, and those bullets can start feeling like missiles.
