Best Playstyle for Shinigami
**Sword Build:**Shinigami is purpose-built for sword-oriented playstyles. Stack your Sword stat and equip the highest-grade sword you have access to. The sword damage multiplier from this race directly amplifies every sword move, making it one of the best races for players who main a sword build in both PvP and boss farming. **PvP:**Shinigami is a strong choice for player-versus-player combat. The combination of raw damage multipliers and HP bonuses means you hit hard while staying alive longer. In PvP, prioritize burst damage windows and use any active race abilities to create openings for your combos. **Tier**: **A** — Tags: weapon-bonus, sword-build, pvp
