Our take on Venator's Hide
“Lions first, then the crowd”
“Lions first, then the crowd”: +3% crit chance on top of the base 5% is a real if small damage boost for a brand-new account. It is the best Common set to complete, and a fine placeholder until an Epic crit set drops.
What does the Venator's Hide set bonus do?
+3% Crit chance
More critical hits on top of the base 5%. Community Archer players stack crit chance with attack speed for their main damage.
+5 Vitality and +25 Max HP
On our level-1 Gladiator with 124 Max HP, the set’s +25 Max HP alone would be a 20% increase. Every set adds flat health that scales with rarity. Common sets give +5 Vitality / +25 Max HP and +7 / +35 for Uncommon.
How do you get the Venator's Hide pieces?
| Slot | Piece | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Helm | Venator Hide Cap | From chests |
| Chest | Venator Hide Jerkin | From chests |
| Hands | Venator Bracers | From chests |
| Legs | Venator Shin Guards | From chests |
Common gear can also come from chests. These are the chests that can roll Common items:
| Chest | Common chance | Armor / weapon split | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Chest | 50% | Armor 75% · Weapon 25% | 400 Cash |
A chest that rolls Common still picks one item from every Common armor and weapon, so a specific piece of Venator's Hide is much rarer than the Common chance.
Who should use Venator's Hide?
- Archer (bow): +3% Crit chance.
- Berserker (greatsword): +3% Crit chance.
How to build around Venator's Hide
Archer (bow). Archers live on distance: keep both dashes ready, hold attack to keep shooting, and let every third shot’s volley hit groups. Community Archer runs past wave 50 stacked crit chance and attack speed from boons on top of their set.
Berserker (greatsword). The Berserker has no block, so health and sustain matter more than for any other class. Its long, heavy swings hit crowds, which makes kill-heal and damage-to-weak-foes lines especially strong.
Fit: our reading of the bonus Based on the class cards and skill tree we saw in game, not on damage tests.
