Upon learning [[Knifeplay_(skill)#Series|series]] and [[Knifeplay_(skill)#Twin|twin]], Predators can begin to string together combos of two (or three, using Laesan stance) hits at a time, and [[Knifeplay_(skill)#Triplet|triplet]] allows for another hit still. Generally, Predators have the option of continuing to alternate [[Knifeplay_(skill)#Lateral|lateral]] and [[Knifeplay_(skill)#Vertical|vertical]], or to alternate with a [[Knifeplay_(skill)#Crescentcut|crescentcut]] combo (used from Rizet stance, for best results). Arranging your combos to end in Ein-Fasit stance reduces incoming physical damage between hits, but is difficult to pair with Laesan's extra hit. | Upon learning [[Knifeplay_(skill)#Series|series]] and [[Knifeplay_(skill)#Twin|twin]], Predators can begin to string together combos of two (or three, using Laesan stance) hits at a time, and [[Knifeplay_(skill)#Triplet|triplet]] allows for another hit still.

Predators only need their sitara for hunting, and all sitaras have the same damage, speed, and penetration ratings. You may wield a shield in order to mitigate physical damage, but having a free hand makes all attacks (except crescentcut) more effective. | Predators only need their sitara for hunting, and all sitaras have the same damage, speed, and penetration ratings.

| offense_info = The simplest form of lethal offense for a Predator is to use [[Predation_(skill)#Twinshot|twinshot]] with venoms to apply afflictions to a target, eventually either overwhelming their ability to cure or shutting it down entirely with a venom lock. This should be done from Vae-Sant stance as it reduces the balance cost of throwing darts, and the [[Predation_(skill)#Swifteye|swifteye]] ability offers some additional options for increasing speed. An affliction offense will usually culminate in either [[Predation_(skill)#Cirisosis|cirisosis]] or voyria. It can be augmented by the use of [[Knifeplay_(skill)#Bloodscourge|bloodscourge]] and several [[Beastmastery_(skill)|Beastmastery]] abilities, particularly an orel's [[Beastmastery_(skill)#Swoop|swoop]] or a spider's [[Beastmastery_(skill)#Intoxicate|intoxicate]] and [[Beastmastery_(skill)#Acid|acid]]. Beast abilities can be coupled with [[Knifeplay_(skill)#Fleshbane|fleshbane]] to apply a venom. One important note is that darts do respect magical shields (and rebounding auras, unless the Predator's [[Predation_(skill)#Apex|apex]] level is high enough). This means even an affliction offense must make room for sitara combos when needing to [[Knifeplay_(skill)#Raze|raze]]. All combos used should end in Vae-Sant, to continue throwing darts as fast as possible. | | offense_info = The simplest form of lethal offense for a Predator is to use [[Predation_(skill)#Twinshot|twinshot]] with venoms to apply afflictions to a target, eventually either overwhelming their ability to cure or shutting it down entirely with a venom lock.
