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
