Isol/Playstyle Tips

In-Game Tips

 * Isol specializes in guerrilla warfare, such as remote assassination and trapping.
 * Manage the pace of setting up traps, and you can destroy the enemies in one fell swoop.

Trap Isol
This version of Isol is focused on using Isol's skill set to avoid traps and to get bonus damage from his traps by placing more traps down. Trap Isols usually craft quick armor and focus on crafting food and traps for the rest of the game. It's important to strategically place traps at hot spots such as Hospital, Pond, Uptown, Hotel and Temple. These places are high in food so they'll be visited more often, especially in the late game. Temple is a must visit place for anyone looking to craft EOD Suit to counter Isol. By putting traps at Temple, you force players looking to build EOD Suit to use some food or possibly die to counter you. Pay attention to when you kill someone with traps so you can visit that area and loot their body for food, stamina and armors. Until you find the body, your searches will have a 40% of finding the corpse. After you find the corpse for the first time, each subsequent search will only have a 10% of finding the body, 5% if you didn't kill that player. Use Recollection to know which traps have been tripped and if you must heal or first-aid. Always do it in a zone you put your traps on.

Battle Isol
This version of Isol is focused on using Isol's amazing stats. Isol has one of the best stats in the game to counter the fact that his skills don't help him fight at all. Battle Isol is played like a typical character by rushing a weapon and then focusing on armors and food. Isol's level 18 attack stat is the highest in the game. Battle Isol's must take full advantage of that to succeed. Battle Isol is simple but effective due to his stat scaling. Using any of the three D mastery weapon with Isol is fine. Bow Isol is especially powerful as Bow weapons have high attack and being a ranged weapon they have a lower chance of defecting and do not have the disadvantage of making noise like gun. But even so, Gun, Bow, or Stab Isol are all equally powerful and viable.

Hybrid Isol
This version of Isol is a mix of both versions above. Usually the first half of the game (up until the 2nd night round) is played as Battle Isol. Crafting your weapon, food and armors. Around when the 2nd night round starts, Hybrid Isol will switch to crafting traps until the game ends. This version of Isol is the hardest to play, but is arguably the strongest if played correctly.

The key of playing Hybrid Isol is having at least 1 or 2 high damage traps on inventory for last area fight. You don't need to increase his Guerilla Warfare stacks (it's better if you can though but not mandatory.) As long as you make traps, you can keep them for fighting at last area. Your overall damage dealing is still from Mastery, so focus on getting high mastery and preserve more food, then look for crafting traps. Recommended traps for Hybrid Isol is C4, Fire Trap, or Hidden Maiden. If you want more quantity get C4, Fire Trap for straight trap dmg nuke, Hidden Maiden for Combat Effectiveness. (giving your enemy "slow" debuff so you got an advantage from crippling them at combat.)

His late game potential to win is very big with this playstyle. He can fight equally while he can nuke enemies with his traps. By using Recollection, he can move in the area freely without having to be afraid of stepping his own traps. At one fell swoop, when your enemies caught off guard by your traps, you finish them off with one last hit. A Clean murder to say.
