THE BEST DECIDUEYE BUILD GUIDE - POKEMON UNITE

**About Razor Leaf buffs**
Since Razor Leaf now has more bast atkspeed on the move, Scarf’s benefits have taken a bit of a dip and don’t break thresholds on every level as it used it.
Curse Bangle and Drain Crown have come up as potential replacement candidates for it, but there is still testing being done on whether the marginal benefits from Scarf at some levels are still worthwhile to hold onto. As such, we won’t be fully switching the move icons until we get the bottom of that, but it’s worth nothing that those items are helpful and swappable if desired.

Shackle has 446% scaling meaning even just 2 or 3 stacks makes having weight be extremely worth, despite trying to dunk with owl being literal suicide. It’s fine if you die once or twice for a stack but don’t actively int for them.

While Charging Charm now gives Shackles more oneshot potential and kill threat to compete in an ever-growing sniper class, Float Stone still deserves honorable mention for third slot option, as it offers some big raw attack while making Deci float on air which can help when Deci is charging arrows and finding safe spots.

Rapid Fire Scarf has *some* merit as a somehwat flex option for that third slot as well, as it provides Deci with high objective rip and allows Deci to apply respectably strong kill pressure with just its autos, which is plausible in fights with proper positioning, it allows you to deal with tanky, immobile enemies without having to waste Shackle charges.

Stay as far away and out of sight as possible, snipe from MAX range. Your safety is that you can do your dmg from a place where nobody can hurt you, but that can only last so long in this meta so you will get jumped eventually.

He’s actually really great in poke comps due to his arrows being pierce-able, and able to reach backline squishies THROUGH the tanks. You can get them chunked out before the fight even starts, and without a healer on their side to mend the damage oftentimes they just can’t engage at all anymore, giving your team first say on how the game goes.

Burns things incredibly fast, but also requires you to be in auto range to do work, with only leaf storm tiny push to help you. Thanks to Scarf, this can do crazy amounts of work if the enemies are not on their toes about immediately dealing with you asap.

This is more of a late-game oriented build striving as many levels as possible to get the atkspeed scaling going, meaning it will moreso prefer jungle…but that is not to say that it can’t do some laning as well, especially when utilizing Scarf in the third slot. He can very well be throwin toplane and be a menace to opposing stackers, with boosted autos quadruple hit plus Scarf speed putting a stop to even the smallest of dunks. It also is pretty strong poke pressure on those who need to get in close to secure farm.

Once you do get lvl 7, you want to stick very close to whoever on your team is capable of providing some sort of peel or protection for you, and make them your best friend. Razor Leaf dps is insane, but if you’re too busy retreating it’s hard to pump it out. Try not to pop Razor Leaf immediately upon seeing the enemies face, spend the first second or two probing the interaction with a few raw normal autos, seeing how things unfold or how they move around. If you see them committing to staying with the engagement or your teammate is going in to start trouble, go for blood. Otherwise, hold onto that cooldown and find a better position.

You do not need to be picky about who you attack with this build either, especial once you have the + upgrade version you become shat we refer to as a “front to back” fighter, meaning you are capable of burning THRU the frontline to get to the backline, rather than having to flank/aim around/bypass them. As long as you stick with your protector friend, you can make even the beefiest of frontliners have to react or adjust from your damage, or risk death in a few seconds.
