Infinite Stamina Merc
This build abuses the Second Wind passive to keep your stamina bar virtually full at all times, allowing you to block indefinitely or chain heavy attacks. It is widely considered the best solo farming build for generating gold and loot in PvE.
1. Core Mechanics
In Mistfall Hunter, stamina is life. Running out of stamina means you can't dodge, can't block, and are left vulnerable to lethal combos.
The core of this build is stacking Stamina Cost Reduction and Stamina Recovery on Hit. With the right gear and the Mercenary's inherent passives, your heavy attacks will actually generate more stamina than they cost to execute.
2. Skill Loadout
Primary Weapon: Bastard Sword & Kite Shield
The Bastard Sword provides a perfect balance of swing speed and wide arcs for clearing groups.
Active Skills
- Skill 1: Shield Charge
- Usage: Use this to initiate combat or break through enemy guard stances. It has a low stamina cost when properly geared.
- Skill 2: Sweeping Cleave
- Usage: Your primary damage dealing ability. Since it hits multiple targets, it triggers "Stamina Recovery on Hit" multiple times per swing.
- Skill 3: Warcry
- Usage: An AoE buff that further increases stamina regeneration for 10 seconds. Use this right before pulling a large pack.

4. Solo Farming Route & Strategy
Because you never have to stop to rest, you can clear maps 20% faster than any other class.
- The Pull: Run through a POI (Point of Interest) and aggro as many melee enemies as possible.
- The Turtle: Find a corner so you can't be surrounded. Hold block (Kite Shield) until they finish their combo animations.
- The Clear: Once they bounce off your shield, activate Warcry and spam Sweeping Cleave. Every hit will refill your stamina bar.
- Loot and Repeat.
[!NOTE] This build struggles against elite ranged enemies who refuse to group up. Use the environment to force them into melee range before engaging.
