# Recommended Build:

For the slugger style a Tall-Medium height [around 5’10 / 177cm or more] is recommended to stack the damage buff from “Unstable” and counteract the extra damage taken, also by “Unstable” due to having extra HP when tall.
An extremely aggressive playstyle is promoted when using slugger, due to having extra damage, and the best guard pierce in the game, though it is risk and reward, as being punished and counter-attacked is more dangerous because of the 10% extra received damage.
