How to Play Xigbar in Dungeons & Dragons (Kingdom Hearts Build)
How to Play Xigbar in Dungeons & Dragons (Kingdom Hearts Build)
Today we have a build for Xigbar from Organization XIII for D&D 5e! If you think shooting people is fun in D&D but hate how every melee fighter always rushes you down, this is a build for you. Focused on shooting sharp and teleporting away when the going gets rough.

Get to "the high ground" and "rain fire" I fucking see what you did there

Fey ancestry is nice but in bbs the terra braig boss could be affected by sleep (surprisingly alot of bosses are vulnerable to sleep and ignite)
December 6, 2022 @ 8:12 pm
Hey Tulok, or anyone really, if the option for sharp shooter isn’t available by GM’s choice, or because of adventure’s league what else should we pick for a 3rd level martial archetype.

Episode 62 of the Fire Emblem stats: Luxu aka Braig aka Xigbar.
Xigbar’s greatest weapons are his bows (pretty close to crossbows) and both types of magic (reason because of darkness and faith specifically due to teleportation). He has a budding talent in swords since, well, he is a Keyblade user.
He is quite charming and dexterous but he doesn’t have much in the way of strength or luck.

I’m surprised he wasn’t a horizon walker ranger I love the attention to detail I’d love to hear your reasoning this is so fun to watch! 🙂
December 6, 2022 @ 8:13 pm
You should do builds for Kingdom Hearts Goofy and Donald lol
December 6, 2022 @ 8:14 pm
Spoiler warning at the beginning very much appreciated. I’ll be back once I’ve finished KH3.

As an alternative, you have the Horizon Walker ranger.
Level 11, when they take the attack action, they can teleport up to 10 feet, for free, before OR after the attack. If both of your attacks are at different targets, you also gain a third attack in the same action. This teleport is also separate from your movement.

Plz do Ventus next
December 6, 2022 @ 8:18 pm
I would love to see you make Jack Sparrow or other pirates. The idea of pc pirates in d&d is very interesting to me
December 6, 2022 @ 8:25 pm
so with it being over 2 years that this build was made, i decided to look it over and noticed that lvl 3 fighter sharpshooter is not possible since its not a choice on dnd beyond. what would be the alternative?
December 6, 2022 @ 8:26 pm
Should definitely do one for Xion
December 6, 2022 @ 8:27 pm
also, can you add a Larxene build? her dps is unspeakably crazy
December 6, 2022 @ 8:28 pm
i’d love to see you do saix at some point! love your videos!
December 6, 2022 @ 8:31 pm
would love to see joker from persona 5. one of my favorite games

For people just looking at this, much better way to do this without using non-official material, even with Magic Missile/Guiding bolt included as Tulok wanted; Go variant human, take crossbow expert for feat. +1 your dex and int, STR 8 DEX 15 CON 12 WIS 14 INT 13 CHA 10. First 11 levels go Horizon Walker ranger so you can teleport before literally every attack. Also options like hunters mark for multiplicative damage for more attacks, haste as per this build, misty step as per this build. Make called shots with Planar Warrior. Max out your dex with the ASI at 4 and 8. Then dip 2 levels into Bladesinger Wizard so you can get your magic missile. If you really want guiding bolt (i think it’s not very thematic but whatever) then dip 2 levels of War Domain Cleric so you can get Guiding bolt, War Priest bonus action attacks so you can switch to a bigger, higher damage crossbow for your last bar of HP, and Channel Divinity: Guided Strike for a to hit bonus. Finish off by going to 12 ranger > 4 wizard > 4 cleric for 3 ASIs, which you can use to get the Sharpshooter feat, then dump your last two ASIs into either intelligence for more AC during Bladesong, Wisdom for higher Guiding Bolt hit chance + more War Priest uses or a bit of both. Covers pretty much all the weaknesses Tulok’s build has (4×1, 3×2, 3×3, 3×4, 2×5, 1×6, 1×7 spell slots, positive con mod, int bonus to concentration checks while bladesong is up). Swap out one 4 cleric for 5 wizard if you reaallly want blink.

What a great guide! I was thinking for a while how D&D need a Xigbar as a ranged archetype. It’s kinda sad how the Archer class was mishandled to the point that now if you want to make one you have to go fighter. I wish that instead of the ranger we got a class that focuses on ranged combat without the whole connection to nature and most importantly without any pets hanging around. But it’s great to see that making a Xiggy is still possible.
December 6, 2022 @ 8:34 pm
Would have thought Horizon Walker would have been the go to option
December 6, 2022 @ 8:42 pm
Xigbar: You clever little sneak!
December 6, 2022 @ 8:42 pm
You can dodge Xigbar’s ultimate attack in KH2 by literally running in circles.
December 6, 2022 @ 8:43 pm
Wouldn’t going Shadow Monk (and having unlimited teleports thereby) be another solution to Xigbar’s propensity for warping around the battlefield, + unarmored defense for his longcoat? Just a thought.
December 6, 2022 @ 8:44 pm
I don’t know anything about kingdom hearts but i love these vids cause they’re probably the most powerful builds on the channel
December 6, 2022 @ 8:44 pm
Move ‘XIG’. #DecemberTulokRewatch
December 6, 2022 @ 8:45 pm
I just want to make Xigbar, have my players run into him, them stupidly challenge him, then watch as xigbar almost kills them all, before getting bored.
December 6, 2022 @ 8:45 pm
I have an odd request.. Tifa LockHart from final fantasy. Or Aerith, not really interested in yuffie though
December 6, 2022 @ 8:46 pm
Unfortunately there was a retcon of the rules so you can’t dual wield hand crossbows
December 6, 2022 @ 8:46 pm
what race would sly cooper be?????????????????
December 6, 2022 @ 8:47 pm
OMG PLEASE MAKE RIKU I LOVE IT
December 6, 2022 @ 8:48 pm
Oh cool, a Xigbar build for D&D. I don’t really care much about D&D, but I’m a huge KH fan so this really inter-
(2:15) HOLY HELL YOU CAN BOUNCE THOSE SNIPER SHOTS BACK?! HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS UNTIL NOW?!
December 6, 2022 @ 8:48 pm
Do Demyx next! He’d be one of the very few characters that aren’t a multiclass, he’s just a bard.
December 6, 2022 @ 8:48 pm
If your DM doesn’t let you have the vision-based abilities because you only have one eye, then you officially know you have a nightmare DM
December 6, 2022 @ 8:48 pm
I just made a build for him of fighter 2 / revised horizon walker ranger 18 that has a lot of teleporting and arrow spells/attacks. Haven’t played it yet but it seems like it could be pretty good
December 6, 2022 @ 8:49 pm
Not sure if this is the best place to ask the question for you, but I’ve loved your Kingdom Hearts builds, and I was wondering if you’d possibly make a xehanort build (Any of the iterations honestly).
December 6, 2022 @ 8:49 pm
Bakugo or deku from my hero academia
December 6, 2022 @ 8:51 pm
That low hp can probably be fixed with a magical item, there’s probably a canon one you can reskin as his cloak or eyepatch or something. Or just homebrew an item with DM’s permission
December 6, 2022 @ 8:51 pm
I cant find the Sharpshooter Archtype on DnD Beyond. where is it?
December 6, 2022 @ 8:56 pm
How to play Vanitas, I need my Edgehog

I know the heavy Crossbow is sexy with those d10s but if you sacrifice two Damage average per shot you can get an additional shot with a hand crossbow bonus action attack. That really pumps up the akimbo in my opinion.
Also worth considering a variation on this build that uses no UA the Battlemaster fighter is able to do a surprisingly high amount of things with ranged weapons, including parrying. Another thing worth considering is doing warlock instead of Sorcerer, the Blade Boon combined with Improved Pact Weapon means you always have a +1 version of your weapon of choice on hand including the ability to change what that weapon is. For patrons you can really go with anything though I like the added Flavour of Undying as your patron, after all Xeahnort seems to be insanely hard to put down for good and having some of that rub off oh you can’t hurt. You also still get some of the good spells from Sorcerer and can learn Blindness/Deafness which can help you make every attack at advantage
Alternatively if you’re a min/maxer you can go Hexblade, wear heavier armor and have all your attacks come off Charisma. Again this all still works with a crossbow though keep in mind this will lower the DC on your Battlemaster stuff if you go that route

I come for whatever we get after watching the video…. Maybe xD
December 6, 2022 @ 9:00 pm
In honor of Tulok’s Kingdom Hearts videos causing me to play Kingdom Hearts, and in the process finding one of my favorite series (finished KH3 just today) I’m rewatching and commenting on all of his Kingdom Hearts videos cause he’s cool and so is Kingdom Hearts
December 6, 2022 @ 9:00 pm
where did you pull the sharpshooter archetype? what book is it from?
December 6, 2022 @ 9:00 pm
for the teleporting just go to way of the shadow monk teleporting 60 feet in dim light or darkness at 3rd level

December 6, 2022 @ 9:02 pm
Maybe you can do Marluxia? He’s a unique build even for Final Fantasy standards.
December 6, 2022 @ 9:02 pm
Oh I feel something taking over!!!
*HEADS UP!!!*
Sorry I had too.
December 6, 2022 @ 9:03 pm
This is beautiful
December 6, 2022 @ 9:03 pm
Now do Demyx, please! I really like him ^^’
December 6, 2022 @ 9:05 pm
Subscribing to someday see builds for the whole OG Organization.
December 6, 2022 @ 9:06 pm
Just a thought. Would taking the Artificer for a two-level dip be a better route than taking Crossbow expert? You’d get the Repeating Shot Infusion which ignores reload. Also, in the event your DM doesn’t allow UA material like Sharpshooter, what would be another viable class/subclass?
