With the use of Pie and BU, you reach the cap of 25% reduction in activation time, meaning your 3sec knock skills take 2.25sec to cast.

==== Tendril Killing ====
 +
As the TK, you are responsible for killing the usual TK tendrils. To do this, use honor and Glyph before the quest is taken and immediately cast PI on the back tendril.

 +
==== Killing Ele Lord ====
 +
With Shelter instead of Protective Bond, you take a lot more damage from Sandstorm, so it is even more useful to re-apply your Lightbringer Title. There are two ways to kill the Ele lord - trying to kill it just using Shelter and PI/Obby flame is highly risky and therefore not recommended.
 +
1) Cast PI on the Lord and recall out to the ST during the Sandstorm cast. The PI triggers from you, the ST, and spirits will kill the Lord quickly. Note that Sandstorm is not always the first skill cast by the Lord, so you will need good reactions.
 +
2) For a much easier life, simply cast PI and pop a Tengu Flare.

Introduction

Dinkelweg is an off-meta tactic used by TFZ in DoA. It got its name from the alternative tactics requiring Wholesome > Wholegrain > Dinkel (German for Wholegrain) players.

The goal isn't to go for time, but rather to have fun by making lots of shiny animations that kill things. Despite this being the primary objective, subcons is more than achievable with a 26 being our best run to date with still lots to improve.

Whilst the builds are more than capable of performing 6-0, we generally run 3-3 whilst our growing community of Dinkel players get more and more familiar with the tactics. In particular, the use of an ST backline can make 6-0 very tricky.

Trench Tank (TT)

Build

Assassin/Warrior TT
I Am Unstoppable Shadow Form Shroud of Distress Dark Escape Shadow of Haste Heart of Shadow Death's Charge Recall
Shadow Arts: 12+3+1, Tactics: 7, Dagger Mastery: 9, Critical Strikes: 6
OwFkUdd5HPaENpOzB0EUoDCEuTnD

Make sure you reach the requirement of your shield (taking into account weakness) and invest the rest of the points in Dagger mastery and Critical Strikes for the Wall and Foundry Rooms.

Equipment

Normal Tank Equipment is used.

Role

Trench Tank has no changes compared to standard 3-3 or 6-0 tactics (whichever the team is running). As you dont have Protective Bond, Dark Escape is preferable over Dash for City balls.


Main Tank (MT)

Build

Assassin/Warrior MT
I Am Unstoppable Shadow Form Shroud of Distress Dark Escape You Move Like a Dwarf Heart of Shadow Death's Charge Recall
Shadow Arts: 12+3+1, Tactics: 7, Dagger Mastery: 9, Critical Strikes: 6
OwFkUdd5HPaENpOzB0EUoDCEuTnD

Make sure you reach the requirement of your shield (taking into account weakness) and invest the rest of the points in Dagger mastery and Critical Strikes for the Wall and Foundry Rooms.

Equipment

Normal Tank Equipment is used.

Role

Main Tank is very similar to meta tactics, with the exception of the following:

Jadoth Pull

You rely on Union rather than Protective Bond to keep you alive during the Jadoth pull in Veil. As a result, you should stay in range of Union and remain on your normal armor set. 4 assassin enchantments and Union reduce the Demonic Miasma damage to 15 and you should have permanent Seed of Life from the monk which will effectively cover the rest of the damage, but you should avoid dodging attacks just like in meta tactics to avoid exploding Union. The spirit range doesn't quite reach the edge of the cliff, so HoSing up is a good idea - this will also give you some respite from Demonic Miasma triggers whilst the enemies run around to catch up to you. If you can ball Jadoth without Seed, this should be no problem.

Ranger Lord

You wont have Prot Bond or Shelter/Union for the Ranger Lord pull, so be strong.

3-3/6-0

You should interrupt the slashes from the non-hexed tendril during the 3-3 kills to assist the TK in killing the tendrils and to reduce Shelter triggers. You can also use the anniversary shortbow to deal extra damage.


TK/Knocks

Build

Elementalist/Assassin TK/Knocks
Ebon Battle Standard of Honor Glyph of Energy Dragon's Stomp Churning Earth Earthquake Pain Inverter Obsidian Flame Recall
Earth Magic: 12+3+1, Energy Storage: 12+3

  • 40/40 Earth Magic set
  • +30/-2 High Energy set (shouldn't be needed with Glyph but useful just in case)
