Sirin · Grace stealth shell

Overview

Sirin (formerly known as Feysub/Feykin) is a Grace-based Pact built around stealth, deception, and precision strikes. Glamour provides a cloaking ability for repositioning or backstabs, Trick of the Light deploys a decoy that attracts and damages enemies, and Picktrix Powder blinds and debuffs enemies. The Grace Virtue increases damage with Grace-attuned weapons including Dewelion and Navalha.

• Pact: Sirin
• Virtue: Grace (invest all points here)
• Playstyle: Reactive, mobility-focused, backstab and precision

Core loadout

• Dewelion — Grace and Spirit attuned. Drops from the Mendicant King / Castellan Malrog in Fort Karnhold. Strongest Grace melee weapon currently available.
• Navalha — Grace-attuned Rapier. Obtained by completing The Wreck of Mestra Carmo fable. Uses the Rapier moveset introduced in Preludes 14.
• Thistle — starter Bow for Grace builds. Useful as a sidearm for range before Navalha is available.
• Nettle — Grace-attuned Short Blade sidearm. High attack speed, useful for close-range parry windows.
• Glamour — Grace Arcanic. Cloaks the Envoy, allowing repositioning or backstab attacks.
• Trick of the Light — Spirit Arcanic. Deploys a decoy that draws fire and explodes when enemies get close.
• Picktrix Powder — Courage Arcanic. Blinds enemies and debuffs their Stagger resistance.

How to play it

• Use Glamour to reposition, not to tank — cloak duration is limited; use it to move to an enemy's flank or rear before attacking, not to ignore incoming damage
• Picktrix Powder before engaging groups — the Stagger debuff significantly increases your damage window against multiple enemies
• Chamariz passive (Duelo) — if also running the Duelo Pact, a Perfect Dodge leaves behind a clone that draws aggro; enemies targeting the clone are vulnerable to backstabs. This synergises well with Sirin's stealth approach.
• Prioritise Grace attunement — Dewelion and Navalha both require Grace investment; all Virtue points into Grace maximises damage
• Shrouded passive — allows you to see enemies through walls in Spectral Sight; use this to plan approach before engaging

When to use a different build

• AoE-heavy dungeon encounters — this build is primarily single-target; Ode Tempest or Garren Rood handle grouped enemies more efficiently
• Long sustained fights — sustain is low without Elderbloom; bring Garren Rood for encounters requiring prolonged life drain
