Gu Shi

S3,812
Karma IncarnateSoulbladeRealm of CultivationBlade Anima

If used as a normal marksman, Gu Shi is solid , with high damage, some vulnerabilities and the ability to dispel buffs from enemies. If you wait and let him ascend through the phases, he gains enough penetration to rival any other marksman. With his awakenings both increasing his maximum penetration and making it faster to reach Gu Shi has the potential to knock Silas off his throne.

Builds

Before GR-19

Attack, speed and some Crit Chance should be enough to progress past this stage.

Calamity
Night Terror
Main Stats: atk / atk / atk
Priority: spd > crit_rate > atk_flat > crit_dmg

GR-19 - GR-21

The goal here is to obtain over 90% Crit Chance whilst maintaining high speed and attack.

Warlord
Soulbound Arcana
Main Stats: atk / atk / crit_dmg
Priority: atk_percent > crit_rate > spd > crit_dmg

After GR-21

Gu Shi benefits from high penetration during the last stages of his ascensions allowing for more emphasis on Crit Damage in his build. He may also need health to ensure he can survive late game. If you do not care about his early damage, you can add more Crit Damage mainstats.
