Any good Slyvie builds?

[Sniper Diplomat]

I struggle to fit ranged attacks into any comp. I guess just plug her into a team that stacks sight and she just attacks like normal?

You could pair her with a Nezgleckt dps healer build, a stealth sharps Thuls, and then build her for eyes stealth and sharps.

Her level ups all involve adding bleed to ranged

My tip is to remove her all her starter arrows and replace them with arrow ammo packs from the Forge - they give you a choice of elemental arrows at discounted energy cost, then get shrapnel arrows for their bleed and mark cards with stealth which will up your piercing damage.

I played her as fiery ranger trying to swap out as much icy goodness as i could for the fire stuff with good old cornelius providing fire resistance reduction. Also magnus with few grinding stones and armor breaks and malukah with all her dark support. Archon was obliterated really fast.

I beat normal mode with here with a direct damage build. I used the frog as a pure support bard, then a tank and healer. On longer fights the goal was to keep her fully dispelled, full power buff, and as many stacks of glory as possible. On longer fights could easily get over 50 sharpen stacks. She was hitting like a truck.

Wasn't planning on it, but I used the deer lady tank too, and gave slyvie the weapon that shot her thorns at the start of the turn. because she had so many buffs and it does piercing damage even that was hitting hard. All of my damage was the deers thorns and the archer trucking people.

I stack sharp charges with her.

Focus on that, have a few AoE ranged attacks, and I use the 0 cost upgrade for quick shot (and maybe throw in a few shivs)

Those 0 cost shivs and quick attacks start doing 50-100 damage after a round or two. With AoE options to use the energy with.

Yes
You put her in the team
Any team
No changes really needed

Her default setup is literally the best in the game.


Now of course, you could do a synergy thing, sure, make it even better

Every time that Sylvie is in one of my groups she always does the most damage for the least investment out of all four people for me, so I 100% agree with this.

Best way I've found is to lean hard into her sharpness. Make your only pricey cards a dump and Camo. Use 0 cost quick shots then go Camo > Quick > Camo > Quick > Camo
Naturally some vanish cards to thin the deck. you can do 2 Camos if you want a large Dump card later in the game like Rain of Arrows. She is stupid over powered.
Makes me wish Thuls got some love in the Stealth Department but sadly have to wait till he is level 5 for that.

I stacked sharp, piercing damage and stealth on her and then did a starter deck of 4 innate camo and 1 selection of arrows. try to get an AOE starting arrow and stack as much sharp and stealth you can to get a massive hit off to soften all the enemies.

The most broken thing I've managed so far with Sylvie is:

Sight stacking Sylvie. Not necessarily ranged attacks, but anything that cheaply does piercing and/or multihit. Rapid shot is a favorite. Pierce gets 1.5x sharp perk.

Team support Gustav who occasionally heals but mostly passes sharp to Sylvie and tries to double-cast a ballad of conquest as early as possible. He'll eventually make sharp also affect mind damage, which is great for...

Nezglekt! Sight/resourceful build. Basically just nuke things as soon as you're able with built-up mind visions. Which happens very quickly alongside Sylvie.

Magnus or Bree, basically you do a fast-ish thorns & vitality warrior since they will all have negative piercing res.

Completely unnecessary to be that strong but the combo was great.

[Shu-sama]

Honestly her character be just broken. Just stack a ton of sharpen up with stealth and have a solid frontline/dispel/heal. Use the frost arrows + some of the aoe ranged attacks and you are just gonna clear everything super easy on your own.

[Yogofu]

i usually build her with Sharpness, Card Draw (lots of Setups) and Ranged Skills. Her dmg output after 1-2 rounds is absurd. If i feel extra cheeky i use a Wilbur as Mana Battery to fuel her even further.

[TnJ]

Sylvie's real strength seems to be how cheap she is to get going.

All this Sylvie love and she still gets absolutely dominated by a stealth sharp Thuls in AOE or a fury Grukli single target in low/mid Madness.

Her build from Deckertech is pretty good. Is essentially a combo build where you build sharpness (and possibly powerful), enter stealth, then cast a nuke depending on your wanted targets. You have Multishot, Volley and Rain of Arrows if you want to hit all monsters, or Rapid Fire and Barrage (or Poison Arrow, although for this one you need a single monster on screen, as all versions target randomly) if you want single target damage.

For perks, you want essentially ranged damage, sharp charges, sight charges (your pet always applies sight every turn, sneak charges, and possibly bleed or poison charges (generally bleed).

Pick items that grant ranged damage or DoTs on hit (Yogger's Cleaver comes to mind as a "free" item you can always get: until your later stages, DoT stacking from items is generally on par with "pure" damage if you have perks on extra stacks), sharp stacks, or maybe one of the rings that double dip debuffs you already apply (bleed to X, or poison to X) and you're golden.

Finally, some of the Legendary artifacts make her utterly broken, especially Tempest, Power Coil and Mirror of Kassandra (understand how to apply the Mirror into your combos, as it can also duplicate Trait Cards. As long as you do not "burn" the copy and your deck is thin enough, is free duplication of either Target Shotting or Double Shot every turn)
