Dekaron Segnale Guide

The Dekaron Segnale is the assassin of Dekaron SEA, able to cut enemies down with only one blow. However, she is also the healer, which makes for a very interesting combination. This makes the Segnale the most sought after in parties and the most avoided in PvP. However, this is only for patient players who can persevere through extended periods of grinding as they are weak from levels 1-50, but become the deadliest in the game after that.

Also, it is worth noting that it is pronounced "Se-NIA-le" with a silent G.

Segnale Stat Builds

Basically, stats and skills go hand in hand with the Segnale. What you do with your stats must reflect your skills as well. There are three ways to optimize your Segnale, which is to either go with a pure healer, pure assassin, or a hybrid.

Healers are to take the classic approach of having more mana and health than most characters in the game. They should become tanks that can match Bagi Warriors and be able fill their HP up as well in a blink of an eye. This build can be exponentially improved by acquiring a noble or divine noble kerev, but only if you have enough money or luck for it.

Now, for the glass cannon. If you choose this path, you are an assassin, peerless and bloodthirsty without fail. Dex up throughout the game and just enough heal to get you from point A to point B, which is your opponent.

If you want a balanced Segnale, put in some spirit, then more heal than an assassin's, then your dex. Less damage than a glass cannon, less health and mana than a healer, but a competent killer she will be.

Segnale Skill Builds

Among the Segnale skills, there are only a few that are worth any attention.

For healers, it is pretty straightforward. There is the heal skill tree, and your job is to obtain the best ones there. Hyper Heal should be your bread and butter, so get it. You will also need Recover as it is your resurrection spell, which definitely increases your usefulness. Get the buffs as well for yourself and your party mates, preferably Great Guard, Divine Shield. With both stats and skills in place, you shall be the ultimate go-to character.

As for glass cannons, concentrate on assassin skills. Think of your ultimate goal as being able to take a Bagi Warrior down with one or two strikes. sounds farfetched, but with epic equipment and some moxy, perhaps you can. You might want some curses as well to go along with your killer blows. They can help you kill them faster by lowering their defense and attack power, and even render them completely helpless. A true master paralyzes her opponents, leaving them vulnerable to attack.

Of course, with a balanced build, you should go for the best among these three skill trees. For the Heal skills, Hyper Heal and Fast Healing with some buffs like Rising Guard, Magic Shield, and Increase Attack. You may instead get their AoE counterparts if you are generous. The only curse you need here is Paralyze. For Blood skills, aim for Blood Hit, curse Field, and Evil Crow. This is the best for a Segnale that wants to walk on the corpses of her enemies like a red carpet and still be able to bind her wounds along the way by herself.
