This Mistfall Hunter Withered Knight build uses the game's Legendary Greatsword plan recorded for build 24619162. Import code: 6ngJFb3eF1aVAkBAtj2FfQ5X6lkYvfXhls9mi6wiphCVQ6PCK6iES. It is a complete current preset and a reproducible baseline, not a claim that Greatsword is best for every solo or trio player.

What is verified

The database labels the source “In-game plan,” lists Mistfall Hunter as author, and decodes the native code into a complete equipment list. The captured plan is Legendary with an equipment value of 4,925. You can import it and compare the result rather than trusting a copied text list.

Official material establishes Withered Knight as one of six classes and confirms two weapon stances and a layered build system. Separate launch material added Polearm and Shield. Greatsword is one stance choice rather than the class's only valid direction.

Greatsword equipment core

The primary weapon is Mercy. A damaged Rusty Squire Polearm and Shield appears in the secondary slot. The armor is Rosen Oath Helmet, Rosen Oath Breastplate, Rosen Oath Bracers, Rosen Oath Pants, and Rosen Oath Boots; Tri-phase Knot Pendant and Ancestral Blessing Ring complete the set.

Mercy carries Wrath Burst Moonstone and Fortitude Amethyst. The remaining slots combine Wrath, Burst, Sky Piercer, Valor, Seamless, Stoic, Vitality, Tenacious, and Smiting-related gems. Import the plan to inspect the exact socket arrangement before buying or crafting anything.

Affix totals

The source records Wrath 6, Sky Piercer 4, Tenacious 4, Aegis 3, Burst 3, Stoic 3, Valor 3, Vitality 3, Seamless 2, and Smiting 2. It also displays maximum energy plus 15. These totals describe this one build and are not proven universal breakpoints.

Wrath, Burst, Sky Piercer, and Valor indicate offensive commitment, while Tenacious, Aegis, Stoic, and Vitality retain defensive investment. That combination is a useful Greatsword baseline because it shows the plan's trade-off clearly. It does not prove the highest damage, safest extraction, or strongest PvP result.

Why version matters

The official July 30 update changed several Withered Knight behaviors, including energy drain, turning, thrusts, Spear Barrage, and Rainbow Piercer. Those named changes demonstrate that class performance can move even when an equipment plan remains importable. A build number must remain visible beside any recommendation.

The current GameDB plan reports build 24619162. If your client shows a later build, import and inspect it carefully rather than assuming every interaction is unchanged. Recheck official announcements after balance updates.

Import and verify

Paste the code into the build-plan importer. Confirm Withered Knight, Mercy, equipment value 4,925, and the leading Wrath, Sky Piercer, Tenacious, Aegis, Burst, Stoic, Valor, and Vitality totals. Stop if the client rejects the code or resolves another set.

Save a separate copy. Test ordinary attacks, committed sequences, energy use, defensive timing, missed-attack recovery, and the ability to leave a fight. Use replaceable gear until the plan behaves consistently in the current client.

Solo evaluation

For solo play, ask whether Greatsword pressure compensates for the exposure created by committed attacks. Test ranged opponents, multiple ordinary enemies, blocked terrain, healing windows, and extraction movement. A successful burst sequence is only one part of a complete run.

No official extraction or win-rate data establishes Withered Knight as the best solo class. Use the preset to standardize your test, then compare it with a Polearm and Shield plan under the same conditions. Personal execution may matter more than a theoretical ranking.

Trio evaluation

In a trio, check whether teammates create reliable windows for Greatsword pressure and whether you can protect them when that pressure fails. Record target access, control, recovery, and contribution while an ally is threatened. A build that requires constant rescue is not automatically strong because it lands large hits.

The damaged secondary stance in the captured plan is part of the reference. Upgrading it may improve flexibility, but that creates a variation that should be tested separately. Do not attribute the modified result to the untouched official preset.

Greatsword versus Polearm and Shield

Choose Greatsword when you specifically want to test its more committed pressure plan. Choose the Polearm and Shield preset when defensive positioning, team assistance, and the official shield stance better match your goal. Neither stance is verified as universally superior.

Run both with the same map, mode, risk budget, and success metric. Compare ordinary clear, pressure access, damage taken, failed-action recovery, teammate value, and extraction. One duel or creator montage cannot answer all of those questions.

Progression options

The source preserves Rare, Excellent, and Epic Greatsword in-game plans for the same build number. A player without Legendary resources should import the matching lower-rarity plan instead of guessing which single pieces to downgrade. Each plan has its own coherent equipment and affix summary.

Do not expect the Legendary totals to appear at lower rarity. Verify the imported result and test it on its own terms. Progression value and endgame optimization are separate questions.

Failure conditions

This page becomes stale if the native code fails, resolves different equipment, or follows a balance change that affects Greatsword, energy, marks, detonation, blocking, or core affixes. The client takes priority over the snapshot. Current official notes do too.

Avoid calling the plan “one-shot” or “S tier” without reproducible same-version evidence. Name the actual goal: damage, survival, trio control, or extraction. Change one layer at a time while retaining the original import as a control.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the best Withered Knight build? It is a current Legendary Greatsword in-game plan, not a statistically proven universal winner.

Can I use Polearm and Shield? Yes. It has a separate current in-game plan and a dedicated page because it answers a different stance intent.

Does the code import directly? It is a native code. Verify every resolved field in your current client before using valuable gear.

Where can I learn class basics? Read the Withered Knight class guide.
