Mirror Dungeon tier

Poise critical damage dealer

A Poise identity that turns excess Poise into Moonlit Azure Blade, which gives him shield and bonus critical damage. He adds a little Haste and Bleed on the side. Fallstar Slayer can gain attack weight and hit multiple targets, and skipping attacks heals SP, which suits solo play. He is about on par with the existing Poise Sinclair.

Worth pulling?
good pull

How to play

Open with Chainstrike and Nameless Slash to stack Poise, since extra Poise past 25 converts into Moonlit Azure Blade. Save Fallstar Slayer for when Poise and Blade are high, because it scales coin power, base power and attack weight from them. Defend becomes Swerve at 25 or more Poise, which gives a shield equal to your Blade stacks.

  • +Moonlit Azure Blade adds shield and critical damage
  • +Fallstar Slayer can gain attack weight and spread damage
  • +Skipping attacks heals SP
  • +Strong support passive for solo runs
  • −Low HP
  • −Not a clear upgrade over the existing Poise Sinclair

FAQ

Is The House of Spiders Pinky Apprentice Sinclair good?
Yes, he is a strong Poise identity with strong critical damage scaling. If you already own the older Poise Sinclair, the two are about equal.
What E.G.O works with Pinky Apprentice Sinclair?
Hex Nail fits a Bleed and Poise mix, Impending Day is good in general, and Lantern heals him and his allies. Tears of the Tarnished Blood is his only WAW option.
Is his support passive useful?
It heals SP and gives shield to the fastest ally when they start combat with a Defense skill. That is especially good in solo Mirror Dungeon runs.
