All Rogue Abilities in Nobody Saves the World
Similar to all other forms, the Rogu has four abilities.
- Money Motivated (passive) – Collecting money reduces all cooldowns.
- Fan of Knives (signature) – Attack three times by throwing knives. Hold to add range and piece to the next thrown knife.
- Cloak & Dagger (active) – Hold to become invisible and release to stab an enemy with a guaranteed Crit if hitting them from behind.
- Caltrops (active) – Throw spikes on the ground that builds 100 stun.
Let’s see which are the best abilities overall for the Rogue.
Best Passive Abilities for the Rogue
- Magic Life (Vendor) – After Mana is depleted, Health is spent as Mana.
- Crit Cleric (Vendor) – Recover a percentage of Critical Hit damage as Health.
- Quick Cooldown (Vendor) – Reduces cooldowns.
The Rogue is a form highly reliant on dealing critical damage. With these passive abilities, you’ll buff your active abilities while also ensuring you never die.
Since your crits can deal 2,000-3,000 damage, healing for a percentage (10-30%) of that is huge and you’ll never have to worry about dying.
Best Active Abilities for the Rogue
- Cloak & Dagger (Rogue) – Hold to become invisible and release to stab an enemy with a guaranteed Crit if hitting them from behind.
- Fan of Knives (Rogue) – Attack three times by throwing knives. Hold to add range and piece to the next thrown knife.
- Dodge (Ranger) – Dodge forward while dodging attacks and dealing damage.
- Caltrops (Rogue) – Throw spikes on the ground that builds 100 stun.
Active abilities pair well with the previous passives. Cloak & Dagger allows you to guarantee a crit on enemies, which will heal you a lot because of Crit Cleric.
Fan of Knives is a great damage ability to deal with tougher enemies, Caltrops help you zone foes better, while Dodge ensures you never get in a tough spot.
Wrapping up
To summarize, the best build for the Rogue involves maximizing critical strike chance while also healing from critical damage dealt. With various movement and damage abilities, the Rogue also makes sure to never get caught off-guard.
