DoA Dinkelweg

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.

Overview

Summon Spirits Kurzick

Trench Tank (TT)

Build

/ TT
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

/ MT
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 armour set. 4 assassin enchantments and Union reduce the veil effect 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. 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: 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.

EoE

Build

/ EoE
Fire Magic: 12+3+1, Beast Mastery: 11, Energy Storage: 6+3 OgJToYmZXSZAYgsqYwIKmE6AuE

• Put EoE for each spike in the normal places (skip for Turtle in Mes trench as you can't jump back down).
• AoS is used as energy management and to recharge EoE and skills where this can have a benefit (e.g. City spikes and Darknesses).
• Glyph > Meteor Shower to reduce the cast time
• Savannah Heat in Honor is the primary source of your damage. Fire Storm/Breath of Fire are additional animations that also help spikes.
• Finish Him for cleanup and general utility

Equipment

• Sup Vigor, Radiant and Attunement pieces on the rest
• 40/40 Fire Magic Set
• +30/-2 High Energy Set (preferably Fire Magic)
• Any Flatbow for pulling

Role

Your splits are the same as the VoR in meta tactics.
