Withered Knight — Greatsword

Soulgrot uses Withering Mark and Auto Execution to put an opponent under timed pressure, with Parry and Radiant Retribution creating follow-up windows. His September 4 guide separates affordable Strife/Smiting gear from blue and purple upgrades. It replaces the older creator setup on this URL as a whole; it is not a blended best-build list.

Withered Knight — Polearm & Shield

A launch-version Polearm & Shield setup taken from Legacy Gaming’s full Withered Knight class guide. The recommendation is not a claim that polearm was the strongest competitive stance: it is the creator’s own three-skill loadout for players choosing this path, centred on ranged initiation, a sustained spear channel and a context-dependent utility slot.

Mercenary — Sword & Shield

A parry-first sword-and-shield Mercenary for solo queue. The first two thirds of the source video is matchup footage against every other class, and the build that follows is shaped by those matchups: it is built to stay glued to a target, punish anything that swings, and keep shield bash available almost permanently.

Sorcerer — Staff (Elemental)

Elemental damage is gated behind a chant, and a chant is a promise to stand still. Fire Bolt only pays its partial true damage when the chant completes, so every other pick in this build exists to buy the seconds that takes — Wind Craft and Forbidden Gate to deny the approach, Crystal Icebolt to slow what gets through, and a dodge-cancel talent so one panic roll does not throw the cast away. Played correctly it out-damages anything at range. Played at the wrong distance it is the squishiest kit in the game, and both sources say so in their first minute.

Sorcerer — Staff (Stardust)

A Stardust build that treats the spec’s defining trick — skipping the chant phase — as the whole point, then spends its affix budget on being allowed to cast at all. The creator’s framing is blunt in both directions: without the instant-cast talents the spec is unplayable, and below five stacks of the anti-interrupt affix the class is unplayable.

Blackarrow — Bow

A ranged setup that assumes you are fully drawing almost every shot, and then spends talents on making that draw faster and its cooldowns shorter. Unlike the other builds here it is presented as a menu with genuine branches — the creator repeatedly names two defensible options rather than one.

Shadowstrix — Dual Blades

The 3 September pass gave Phantom Shift a long recovery animation, and this build accepts that rather than working around it: the teleport comes out of the kit and Smoke Bomb takes its place as the disengage. The creator’s position is that the class stopped being the best one and became a healthier one — you no longer get a free reset, so the fight has to be won with the debuffs on Poison Crow Mark and with movement.

Seer — Mace (Blasphemer)

The Seer that renounced the oath: a morning-star bruiser whose entire kit is gated behind curse mana, which means the build is really a resource-discipline argument. The creator’s central claim is that beginners lose by spending curse mana on the approach and arriving at the fight unable to escape or interrupt.

Shadowstrix — Dagger / Dual Blades

Most Shadowstrix writing treats the class as an ambusher: open from stealth, win or die. This build inverts the opening. Shadow Strike carries invincibility frames on the cast, so the play is to walk in, let the opponent commit to a swing, eat it with the i-frames, and recast behind them while they are still in recovery. The stun that follows is not a gamble — the target has already spent their attack.

Seer — Catalyst (Reverent)

A ranged Seer that wins by outlasting rather than by closing. The creator’s framing of solo play is a single word — patience — and he is explicit about why: this build cannot chase and cannot run, so it fortresses up and takes the fights that come to it. What makes that viable is that the Reverent holds the only hard support skill in the game, and it cleanses before it heals.

Mercenary — Warhammer

The spec the tier lists put at the bottom of solo, played by the rank-1 Mercenary — and his own framing agrees with the lists: hammer is weak until it has gear, so the build starts as a PvE farming rat and only turns predator once the defensive affixes are on. Everything in it serves one trade: survive long enough to close, then land one enormous charged heavy. This is also the spec that inverts in trios, where our tier list has it at A.

Blackarrow — Bow

Thelorr’s September 4 control build commits only after Barbed Arrow lands. Paralysis and Bloodfly set up a normal-arrow Blood Infection finish. It replaces the older Rebrrth setup on this URL as a complete new source; Spore Arrow and Sky Piercer from that older setup are not mixed into these picks.

Withered Knight — Greatsword

The same Crime execute loop as the PvP greatsword build on this site, pointed at monsters instead of players: every Hallowgrove boss soloable in green gear, including the six-minute Mist Lord, because boss DPS comes from light and heavy attacks rather than skills. The skills stay PvP picks on purpose — he wants the chase tools for whoever pushes him mid-boss — which makes this the farming complement to Shadowcoast’s duelling build, not a rival to it.

Seer — Catalyst

The spec our tier list puts at the bottom of solo S — "enormously strong one-on-one, but hard to play and it closes kills slowly enough to lose to a third party" — from a player sitting around top three among NA caster Seers. His build is organised around the two failure modes the tier list names: runes that make the one-on-one nearly unloseable, and Propel because "it’s hard to catch people... without it people will just get away from you over and over and over."

Shadowstrix — Dagger / Dual Blades

The highest-viewed post-launch Shadowstrix guide, and a different animal from the wound-threshold build already on this site: this one is organised around baiting. Shadow Strike is played as an i-frame — invite the swing, phase through it, and stun from behind while they are stuck in the animation — and everything downstream is about having the energy to convert the stun, because “the more energy you have, the more you can snowball a fight and just destroy someone 100 to zero.” The gameplay half of the video is him running solo into trios.

Mercenary — Sword & Shield

The highest-viewed Chaos-specific loadout, and the newest build on this site — recorded 7 August, one day after the live update. Its organising decision is negative: this is a sword-and-shield Mercenary that has stopped building around the shield. Blocking talents were tried on camera and cut mid-video, because “so many classes have damage that goes straight through your block, or it just takes so much energy away it doesn’t really feel worth it.” What remains treats the shield’s two skills as mobility, and stacks the sword-edge line for damage.

Mercenary — Warhammer

A one-shot hammer combo built on Skullcrusher rather than on Hammer Spin, with Rock Throw as the opener. The creator’s framing is that Skullcrusher has taken the place of the spin in his kit and may be the better of the two — he says more testing is required, and the build page keeps that hedge because he did not remove it.

Sorcerer — Staff (Elemental)

The August Elemental build was a chant build: it stood still, finished the cast, and spent its talents on being allowed to. This one is not. Toonchie strips the damage affixes down to Valor alone, spends the rest on defence, and wins on a single two-skill combo — Fire Bolt marks the target, the ice stomp freezes it, and the free Flameblade lands for close to 500 in one exchange. His framing of the change is that the class is tankier and "just feels better overall" in both solo and trios.

Withered Knight — Greatsword

1. 01Read the opponent before committing: hold Parry to punish an attack, or use Thorn Guide after a punishable movement (0:26; 12:07).
2. 02Apply Withering Mark and track its Auto Execution detonation; use that pressure to punish, disengage or heal rather than ignoring the timer (1:17; 12:51).
3. 03Use Radiant Retribution to track the breakout dodge. Its final hit creates the demonstrated light/heavy follow-up when it connects (13:38).
4. 04Reset with cover against ranged pressure. The creator’s Blackarrow fight at 5:03 shows why chasing in the open without Resilience is dangerous.

Withered Knight — Polearm & Shield

1. 01Open at reach with Javelin Thrust and use its impact to create the first clean commitment.
2. 02Convert the opening into Spear Barrage, the repeated pressure skill the creator calls the polearm’s bread and butter.
3. 03Use Intervene as the third slot in a trio to reach and protect an ally.
4. 04When deploying alone, replace the ally-dependent flex slot with Charge Dash for self-directed movement.

Mercenary — Sword & Shield

1. 01Block or perfect-block to survive the opening, rather than trading.
2. 02Shield bash while blocking to stun anyone still attacking into you.
3. 03Landing shield dash on a player strips cooldowns, which brings shield bash back for a permanent chase.
4. 04Convert each stun into a quick combo instead of holding the block.

Sorcerer — Staff (Elemental)

1. 01Open the ground before the fight: Forbidden Gate across the lane they have to walk, Thunderstorm Sigil where they will stand.
2. 02Chant Fire Bolt through the approach. The chant, not the cast, is the damage.
3. 03Crystal Icebolt anything that clears the zone — the slow buys the next chant rather than killing.
4. 04Dodge without cancelling. The talent that lets you hold a chant through a roll is what makes the kit playable at all.
5. 05Disengage on cooldown rather than on health. With no cooldowns up you are simply dead, which is the failure mode both sources name.

Sorcerer — Staff (Stardust)

1. 01Open at range and force the opponent to commit to an approach.
2. 02Hold a fully-charged Meteor Charm and wait — most players will attack into a visible chant.
3. 03Evade the moment they commit, then release; the follow-up lands while they are recovering.
4. 04Landing one Meteor Charm means immediately sending the second.

Blackarrow — Bow

1. 01Fully draw by default; the damage talents are written around it.
2. 02Rotate between specialty arrows and skills, because hits while carrying two arrows refund skill cooldowns.
3. 03Open burst with Rapid Arrow, then finish with Sky Piercer.
4. 04Hold the utility slot for on-demand crowd control rather than more damage.

Shadowstrix — Dual Blades

1. 01Open with Poison Crow Mark where you can land it. The slow and the reduced dodge distance run for five seconds before Curse, and the talents on it add a healing block and a blind (08:30; 09:00).
2. 02Punish into the slow. With their dodge shortened you can walk into range and hit them after the dodge rather than before it (08:30).
3. 03Use Spinning Slash for pokes and to contest — it kept its damage through the range nerf, and Unstoppable is what guarantees the hit lands (08:00; 15:00).
4. 04Disengage with Smoke Bomb, not with the teleport. Inside it they are slowed and cannot heal, so a chaser has to spend a dash or a skill (06:38; 12:30).
5. 05Flash Stride is the instant dash for both directions — entering and finishing — and needs no talent investment (07:00).

Seer — Mace (Blasphemer)

1. 01Open with Rune: Corruption — the class’s stated weakness is closing distance, and this is the answer.
2. 02Hold curse mana through the approach rather than spending it; it is your escape and your interrupt.
3. 03Land Impact Sigil for the displacement, then convert while they are moving.
4. 04Press Breakaway when stagger-locked; Emergency Aid turns that free escape back into resource.

Shadowstrix — Dagger / Dual Blades

1. 01Walk into range rather than opening from stealth.
2. 02Let them swing, and i-frame the swing with Shadow Strike.
3. 03Recast behind them while they are locked in recovery — the stun lands on a committed target.
4. 04Spend the stun on Spinning Slash and Blade Dance, and let Excitement and Blade Dance refund the energy.

Seer — Catalyst (Reverent)

1. 01Hold ground and let them commit to the approach; you cannot chase and you cannot escape.
2. 02Prep Burst Rune around a corner, then bait the evade so they cannot I-frame it.
3. 03The debuff expires into a second detonation and a stagger — chain that into a charged heavy.
4. 04Wind Surge knocks them back; a fully charged heavy after it stuns.
5. 05Heal on the cleanse, not on the health bar: it removes anti-heal before it heals.

Mercenary — Warhammer

1. 01Until roughly level 12, farm PvE like a rat — mimic dust, door keys, kill bosses fast, bank gold and gear. Hammer is “incredibly strong at farming PvE” and weak at everything else without gear.
2. 02To engage, chain the two dashes: Shield Dash for its after-dash movement speed, swap to hammer mid-run, Hammer Dash onto the target.
3. 03Walk the map holding a charge and cancel it at full charge to keep Indomitable Will at ten stacks — 25% damage reduction before anyone touches you.
4. 04In the fight: light attack, charge the heavy, dodge and reposition through the charge, and release the massive hit when they commit to a heal or get stuck.

Blackarrow — Bow

1. 01Land Barbed Arrow first; the creator aims near the target’s feet to catch it with the area of effect (1:49).
2. 02Apply Paralysis, then at least two Bloodfly hits while the opening holds (2:06).
3. 03Use a normal fully drawn arrow to trigger Blood Infection; keep moving with dodge shots between commitments (2:14; 6:16).
4. 04If Barbed Arrow misses, disengage and wait for its cooldown. A missed Paralysis also calls for backing off, not forcing the same combo (2:21; 11:41).

Withered Knight — Greatsword

1. 01Four greatsword light attacks apply wither; three Bad Karma link stacks make the boss slower and — the PvE point — vulnerable, taking more damage.
2. 02Execute with heavy attacks, weaving two light attacks between executes to min-max DPS rather than spamming right click.
3. 03Parry the telegraphed openers for super armour, then “go absolutely ham” through the window.
4. 04On the Mist Lord, kill the spawned minions: with Legacy, each withered kill heals — around 30% from the adds, “basically a free horn”.

Seer — Catalyst

1. 01Punishment and Burst Runes are the damage core — both non-negotiable, in solos and trios alike.
2. 02Burst Rune is placed, not aimed: through doors, around corners, or at your own feet when someone gets aggressive — anyone skirmishing with you has to stand in it.
3. 03Intimidation Rune (or Binding, when it cooperates) turns the melee’s engage into knockback damage.
4. 04Cast, then Propel-dash and sprint — the movement talent is what converts a held fight into a closed kill.

Shadowstrix — Dagger / Dual Blades

1. 01Bait the attack, i-frame it with Shadow Strike, and land the stun from behind the animation — a guaranteed hit, not a gamble.
2. 02Swap to dual blades and convert: Bloodthirst Frenzy’s blade dance amps damage, reflects projectiles, and refunds energy on the reflect.
3. 03Flash Stride is held for the heal: a target who backs off to drink is locked in the potion animation and guaranteed to eat it.
4. 04Watch the energy bar like a second health bar — running dry mid-snowball is how this class dies.

Mercenary — Sword & Shield

1. 01Build sword-tip stacks through the sword-edge line — skills feed stacks, stacks unlock the four-hit momentum string, and blade charge pays damage for staying in the edge states.
2. 02Shield Dash and Shield Slam are movement, not defence: the dash stuns on a successful block mid-dash, the slam casts quickly from a block, and both exist to reach ranged classes.
3. 03Hammer is carried for exactly one talent — dash distance — as a third gap-closer against Blackarrow and Sorcerer.
4. 04Raging earth shake stuns and slows whatever it catches, which is the window the sword string wants.

Mercenary — Warhammer

1. 01Block with Shield Dash to absorb the opening, which is what Rising to the Challenge is taken for (02:00).
2. 02Stun, then Rock Throw them while they are held — the sequence he names as the reason the talent is in the list (02:00).
3. 03Use Warhammer Sling into the slowed target. Level 2 attacks without charging even though the tooltip does not say so, which is what makes the sling comboable against a player (02:30).
4. 04Land Skullcrusher; Skull Crushing Echo returns part of its cooldown on a successful hit, so the loop can come round again (03:00).
5. 05Dynamic Charge lets you dodge out of the Skullcrusher charge, which he uses to bait dodges out of a slowed opponent rather than to escape (02:30).

Sorcerer — Staff (Elemental)

1. 01Land one Fire Bolt. The white mark it leaves is the enabler — until it is up, nothing else in the combo is available (02:37).
2. 02Ice stomp into the mark to freeze, which buys the whole follow-up for free (02:37).
3. 03Take the free fire sword. He shows it at almost 500 damage on one combo, and the ice stomp is only an 8-second cooldown, so the loop restarts quickly (02:52).
4. 04Between combos, fish for blades in trios — but keep one ready for the next ice stomp rather than spending it (03:07; 03:20).
5. 05Watch the staff. Fire, ice and electricity circling it means the next ability can also freeze, which is a second entry into the combo you did not have to set up (03:32).

Withered Knight — Greatsword

• ◆Ranged opponents and exposed terrain are a serious problem without cover and Resilience; the source recommends avoiding Blackarrow fights without that defence.
• ◆Auto Execution trades some immediate burst for timed pressure, and an opponent can dodge its detonation.
• ◆Some footage includes third parties or teaming; green beating purple is an example, not proof that gear does not matter.
• ◆No valid import code is supplied in the captured description. Use the sourced picks and planner link; this site does not reconstruct an in-game code.

Withered Knight — Polearm & Shield

• ◆The source is a 31 July launch guide, not a competitive retest after the 12 August balance pass. Any affected skill is flagged above with its new change.
• ◆Spear Barrage is a committed channel. The source warns that it can be interrupted and does not give you a universal safe window.
• ◆Intervene is valuable because another player exists. In solo deployment its target requirement is a real dead-slot risk, which is why the interactive loadout swaps it out.
• ◆This page records one creator’s Polearm & Shield recommendation; it does not erase the launch tier lists that rated the stance below Greatsword for solo play.

Mercenary — Sword & Shield

• ◆It is a chase build. Against a ranged player who never lets you close, the same matchup problem the class has everywhere still applies.
• ◆The Elusive and Vitality picks are contested — see the disagreement note below.

Sorcerer — Staff (Elemental)

• ◆Both sources open by calling it the hardest class in the game, and neither softens it. Master Deemo says so in his first minute and repeats it before the build section.
• ◆It is button-heavy in a way the other classes are not: a chant, two placed zones, a movement talent and a disengage, all live at once.
• ◆No cooldowns means dead. Not weakened — dead. This is the only kit on the site whose losing condition is a resource state rather than a health state.
• ◆The talent names here are read off machine captions of a spoken guide rather than the client, so they are flagged as name-uncertain and should be checked against your own talent tree before you spend points.

Sorcerer — Staff (Stardust)

• ◆Two hard thresholds gate the build: the instant-cast talents and five stacks of the anti-interrupt affix. Miss either and the creator says the spec does not function.
• ◆Meteor Impact occupies a slot that does almost no damage — it is bought purely as an escape valve.
• ◆The same creator notes elsewhere in the video that Stardust is the weaker of the two Sorcerer specs in some solo contexts, so this is a spec preference, not a class verdict.

Blackarrow — Bow

• ◆The class took real nerfs in the launch patch — shorter paralysis and less mobility out of stealth — so beta-era Blackarrow guides overrate it.
• ◆This is the least prescriptive build here. The creator names two valid options at several nodes, so treat it as a menu rather than a list.

Shadowstrix — Dual Blades

• ◆It is harder than the pre-patch class, and he says so repeatedly. Without an instant teleport a misread engage is a death rather than a reset.
• ◆Squishy enough that the purple and gold kits spend most of their slots on defence. If you are used to building for damage, this is the change.
• ◆Two of the talents — Sensory Poison and Wound Infection — he names as cuttable, so the list is a preference and not a solved build.
• ◆No in-game retest by this site. The matchup footage is the creator’s own, and it includes fights he loses.

Seer — Mace (Blasphemer)

• ◆The class was taken apart by the launch patch. Shapeshift in particular lost enough that it needs a whole talent node to be worth slotting — beta-era Blasphemer guides badly overrate this build.
• ◆Impact Sigil, the skill the build calls its best, is explicitly weaker solo than in a trio, so a solo player is running the setup without its strongest tool at full value.
• ◆No affixes are listed because the creator does not cover them in this video. That is a gap in the source, not a build that ignores affixes.

Shadowstrix — Dagger / Dual Blades

• ◆The opening depends on reading an animation. Against someone who does not commit to a swing there is nothing to bait, and the class has no second plan.
• ◆Energy, not damage, is what runs out. A missed Flash Stride or a whiffed Blade Dance costs the next exchange as well as this one.
• ◆The affix line assumes a level-4 brew. Below that the build is a different, worse build, and the creator says so rather than pretending the kit scales down.
• ◆One talent pick is taken because the row has nothing better in it, not because it is good.

Seer — Catalyst (Reverent)

• ◆The creator’s own verdict on his own build: he finds it boring and does not enjoy the rotations, and says so in the closing minute rather than in the comments.
• ◆It cannot chase and it cannot disengage well. Kills come to you or they do not happen, which is why the solo section is really a patience lecture.
• ◆It finishes fights slowly, and he names that as possibly the only real problem with the spec in solo. Two of the fights on camera end with the opponent escaping at low health.
• ◆It clears PvE slowly, so a single elite wandering into a duel is a genuine loss condition rather than an annoyance.
• ◆The talent section of the video is shown rather than said. Four nodes he calls mandatory are never named, and no page can honestly turn that into a talent list.
• ◆The gear on camera is his Blasphemer set, defence jewellery included. He says outright you should run attack jewellery instead, because heals scale with attack and this build needs help finishing kills — so the affixes shown are not the affixes recommended.

Mercenary — Warhammer

• ◆Gear-gated: “quite weak without it”. The first hours are PvE farming, not duelling.
• ◆Blackarrow is named the mortal enemy — freezes, Blood Fly arrows and utility make staying on one “very difficult”.
• ◆A well-played Shadowstrix and a Seer’s slows are both bad matchups; his counterplay video was still unpublished at capture.
• ◆Slow, and kiteable by anyone who respects the dash cooldowns — which is why every affix slot goes to eating damage.
• ◆His own words: to be good with it, “you will need to die”. Solo is the hard mode; “spin to win in trios is great”.

Blackarrow — Bow

• ◆Missed Barbed Arrow or Paralysis breaks the intended engage; it demands accurate inputs and disciplined resets.
• ◆The source shows Solo PvP examples, not controlled tests against every class or proof of an optimal trio setup.
• ◆Published import codes have not been independently tested in the game by this site. Rarity labels are budget choices, not fixed prices.

Withered Knight — Greatsword

• ◆The affix section is empty because the source never covers affixes — the video is talents and footage, and this page will not invent the missing third.
• ◆Green gear is his claim for Hallowgrove bosses; for the Mist Lord he hedges to “might need blue armor”, with gems and enough heals doing the rest.
• ◆The skill slots are PvP picks he calls interchangeable, so this page cannot tell you the optimal PvE skill bar — nobody has published one.
• ◆Parts of the footage show bosses behaving oddly (a second phase arriving early, adds he calls “bugged”), so treat the fight pacing as launch-week behaviour, not a constant.
• ◆Recorded 31 July, one day after the launch patch — the Crime/Bad Karma loop matches the current build, but the 6 August energy-cost buffs postdate it.

Seer — Catalyst

• ◆The rejected list is long and explicit: healing, shelter (situational at best), stealth and windwalker runes are “useless in solo” — the limited-use mechanic on healing runes draws his sharpest criticism.
• ◆Tracking is the class gripe: auto attacks can miss a slightly moving target even with the talent.
• ◆Kills close slowly — the tier list’s third-party warning stands, and Propel mitigates rather than removes it.
• ◆His trio setup is different enough that he publishes it separately; this page is the solo half only.
• ◆Build codes exist in his video description but are not reproduced here — codes rot, and the description was not captured with the transcript.

Shadowstrix — Dagger / Dual Blades

• ◆Energy-starved by design: his own framing is that the energy bar is a second health bar, and an empty one mid-fight is lethal.
• ◆The affix kits are brew-gated — a reader without the level-four tavern upgrade cannot copy the purple kit as written, and the page keeps his downgrade path visible.
• ◆Nimble is dead weight for a player who has not learned the bait; he says to fix the habit before keeping the talent.
• ◆Build codes exist in his description but are not reproduced here — codes rot, and the description was not captured with the transcript.
• ◆The wound-threshold dual-blades build on this site is the early-game on-ramp; this one assumes you already win animations.

Mercenary — Sword & Shield

• ◆The hardest matchups are named plainly: other ranged classes — Blackarrow above all, and Sorcerer. Three of seven affixes and most of the mobility exist just to survive that.
• ◆Blocking — the stance’s identity — is judged not worth building around on the current patch. If a blocking pass ships, this build’s premise is the first thing to retest.
• ◆Stone Breaker Slash is dropped on feel, with his own footage as the evidence; a reader who likes the skill is disagreeing with the source, not with this page.
• ◆A gear code exists in his description but is not reproduced here — codes rot, and the description was not captured with the transcript.

Mercenary — Warhammer

• ◆The creator has not decided whether this beats his own Hammer Spin build and says more testing is required. Two builds from one author, one question open — that is the state of it, not a recommendation.
• ◆Curse is not optional and is not a cheap affix to reach. Without the stun duration the combo stops being a combo.
• ◆Ethereal is in the shown kit specifically for Brandrgarde; carrying it into Hallowgrove Chaos is spending a slot on nothing.
• ◆This is a PvP build shown in PvP footage. Nothing in the video establishes it against bosses or in a farm loop.
• ◆The talent and skill names come from machine captions and half of them have no catalogue record, so the planner preselects only part of this setup. Use the published import codes for the actual allocation.

Sorcerer — Staff (Elemental)

• ◆The whole build is one combo. If Fire Bolt misses, the mark never appears and neither does the freeze or the free swing — there is no second plan in the kit he shows.
• ◆It is built for PvP and says so. Two talents that are good in PvE are cut precisely because they do nothing against players, so a PvE reader wants the other Sorcerer page.
• ◆The talent names come from machine captions and four of them could not be matched to a catalogue record. They are marked uncertain rather than presented as settled.
• ◆No in-game retest by this site. The ~500 damage figure is read off his footage, not measured.
• ◆He corrects his own affix target on camera, which means the setup he was running the night before is not the one he recommends.
