Decaying Winter Vagabond Perk Guide
Vagabond is a frontline perk and a glass cannon. You move fast and can dispatch enemies quickly, but if you get hit, you have more than your health to lose
Kira
Kira is vagabond’s ability. Pressing F will swing Kira, dealing damage to enemies hit
Kira’s defining capabilities are:
+It’s damage is based on the percentage of the ability, ranging from 25 to 65
+It has the biggest range out of any melee weapon and can go through thin walls/corners
+Killing an enemy will grant a dogtag
+Killing an enemy will slice their head off, allowing the sword to continue its way and damage another enemy, in one swing
+If multiple enemies have low enough health, Kira will decapitate all of them if within range.
Dogtags
Dogtags are an unique resource that vagabond gets access to.
Dogtags determine:
+Vagabond’s speed (every dogtag = 10% more movement speed, caps at 10, stacks)
+The amount of percentage of Kira lost per swing (at 7 dogtags, swinging Kira will only cost you 3%, which will go back to 100% during the swing animation)
Dogtags can be lost when taking damage:
+If damage taken is under 15, there is a chance you will lose 1 dogtag
+If damage taken is over 15, half of you dogtags will be removed.
Dogtags can be redeemed by holding F, giving 8 health per dogtag
Equipment
For vagabond there are 2 main options:
+Ballistic dagger+ Shoving while having this equipped will deal 12 damage to the enemies and give 30 DOT with bleeding
+Koldera black+ Gives the following buffs for 50 seconds:
+Reduces effects of Morale by 33%,
+Gives ~10% defense,
+Gives ~10% melee dmg,
+Gives ~15% movement speed,
+Steadies camera movement
The rest of the auxilaries are not worth mentioning except:
+Tear gas+ Detonates on impact, stuns and disorients enemies, making their accuracy heavily reduced.
Perks
Perks that I recommend running are:
+Impatient+ while you could say that you are already fast enough, I’d argue that you should commit to the speedy style of life and just pick this
+Violent tendencies+ To stab with the billhook faster
+Tormented+ Increases life by 15. Useful for surviving and stuff; (Note: NEVER take dependable over tormented. Dependable makes you take 15% less damage = 12.5 more HP, which is smaller than the 15 given by Tormented. The only reason you would want to take it is to increase the amount of damage you can take before losing your dogtags from 15 to 17, which is an incredibly small difference)
+Fearless+ Increases resistance against gunfire/explosives by 25%. Because of the -15 HP and reduced defense that vagabond starts, this is less effective. However, if you’re confident in your ability to deal with melee enemies, this is an objectively better trait then tormented.
Guns
I recommend using the AKM here, as the KSG is a shotgun that requires you to be close to the enemy(unless you have gun related traits). Having Koldera Black can also help with the recoil of the AKM, making it even more effective.
Having a hi-capa for early game to mid game is fine but using it during the late game requires quite a bit of skill as the DPS of the akm, especially when holding M1 down, is far bigger.
That’s it for Perk Tier list of Decaying Winter
