The Rogue class is one of the earliest archetypes you can use in Grounded 2. This class focuses on having high attack speed and critical damage. Your goal in every fight is to finish it as quickly as possible by overwhelming enemies with sheer damage. Additionally, the Rogue class’s special effect, which grants extra crit chance on the final hit of your 3-hit combo, greatly helps in dealing significant damage. To assist you, here’s the best Rogue build you can use in Grounded 2.

Currently, the Wolf armor set is the top choice for dealing damage with the Rogue class. Note that this build emphasizes high damage output along with Venom buildup, which inflicts a damage-over-time effect on enemies. The Venomous Dasher mod on this armor set increases the duration of the DoT effect. Here’s how you can craft the entire Wolf set:

  • Wolf Hood: 2x Wolf Spider Fang, 3x Spider Venom, and 2x Blueberry Leather.
  • Wolf Spaulders: 5x Wolf Spider Chunk, 4x Silk Rope, and 4x Blueberry Leather.
  • Wolf Leggings: 4x Wolf Spider Chunk, 3x Silk Rope, and 2x Blueberry Leather.

Keep in mind that when using the Rogue class, you have no defense. You must rely entirely on dodging attacks with the new dash feature, making this one of the most challenging classes to master.

The best Rogue weapon compatible with this armor is the Wolfsbane Fangs, which applies Venom on hit to enemies. This weapon also boasts a high base crit chance, which can be improved with upgrades at an Anvil. Try to apply the Venom effect as early as possible in fights. Here’s how to craft this weapon:

  • Wolfsbane Fangs: 2x Wolf Spider Fang, 4x Wolf Spider Chunk, 4x Spider Venom, and 2x Silk Rope.

Combine this with the Volatile Capacitor trinket, which adds a flat amount of shock damage to all attacks. Charged attacks overload the capacitors of O.R.C. enemies, creating a small shockwave around them.

Finally, here are recommended mutations to enhance your build:

  • Assassin: Increased critical chance and damage when dual-wielding weapons.
  • Ambush: Extra critical chance and damage on ambush attacks.
  • Frenzy: Dealing damage builds up rage. When enraged, you deal extra damage and heal yourself. However, you cannot block, which is fine for this class.

For the last mutation, choose whatever fits your situation. We suggest Cardio Fan, as it provides extra stamina during combat. This concludes our guide on the best Rogue build in Grounded 2.
