Summary

A brief explanation of what the build is about.

ITEM NAME

Weapon Power / Shield Block (If applicable)

Stat 1 ✦ Stat 2 ✦ Stat 3...

Item's passive.

Explanation of the why the item is on the build.

The example above will be repeated for every item.

✦ How to Acquire

Explain how you can get the items shown in the build. If you can't see a certain item available to craft in your in-game blacksmith, it means you need higher refuge level to be able to craft it. You can check what mobs drop in the in-game bestiary. Do be warned that if the guide says an item can be dropped, even if you can't see it in the bestiary, it means any mob can drop it.

✦ Advice

Gives advice in how you may use the build effectively, possibly paired with a gameplay video using the build.

✦ Disclaimer

If necessary, gives a disclaimer related to the build.

Some Assassin builds will mention "Expose Weakness Cancel". This is when Assassins use roll to cancel the Expose Weakness animation, which makes so no combo point is spent but the damage is done and the % ult charge granted.

W Lifestealing Aura

Blight Level ✦ Up to ~45

Character ✦ Creen, any warrior with Awaken Ancient

Difficulty ✦ Medium

Stats ✦ VIT LUK AGI

Bots ✦ Yes

You have an aura that heals you while you have your shield up, so you can safely replenish health and not be dependent on the mage.

Reckless Charge

135 Weapon Power

+200% Critical Damage ✦ +30% Ultimate Charging

Damaging aura while Awaken Ancient is active.

The aura allows the warrior to get health back even while holding their shield, the only other way of doing this is being healed by the mage. The critical damage pairs well with lifesteal, and the ultimate charging makes sure the warrior will always be able to have Awaken Ancient up.

Abhorrent Iris

70% Shield Block

+600 Health ✦ +50% Nemesis Damage

Blocking reduces up to 8 seconds on active cooldowns.

The cooldown reduction makes so the warrior can always keep important effects up, such as Battle Call's buffs or Taunting Roar's damage reduction. The extra health gives extra time for the warrior to lifesteal his HP back, and the nemesis damage allows the warrior to lifesteal for more against bosses, which may be crucial in some scenarios.

Titan Essence

10% Damage Reduction ✦ 8% Lifesteal

Heals the party when a mana orb is collected.

The lifesteal is what glues this entire build together. The damage reduction may occasionally come in clutch, and healing everyone when a mana orb is collected is just the cherry on top.

Vengeful Skull

+500 Health ✦ +10% Damage Reduction ✦ +60% Nemesis Damage

Third basic attack shoots a projectile.

Gives more health, damage reduction and nemesis damage to stack on top of the amount given by the other items. The projectile gives extra damage and allows the warrior to interact with puzzles they otherwise wouldn't be able to.

✦ How to Acquire

Reckless Charge is obtained by completing Creen's chapter 5. Abhorrent Iris and Titan Essence can be crafted in the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs. Vengeful Skull is obtained by completing Blighrifts.

✦ Advice

✧ You're at your most vulnerable at the start of the match, were you will need to charge Awaken Ancient as fast as possible. With proper ult management you can always have you ult up during almost every encounter.

✧ Currently. all warriors with Awaken Ancient have a skill that grants them i-frames on cast (Battle Call and Taunting Roar), use those seconds of invulnerability to safely hit enemies and lifesteal from them.

✧ Starting from Blight Level ~30, it is not recommended to try tanking enemies if you don't have Awaken Ancient active.

✦ Disclaimer

If you are going for dungeons with Blight Level ~20, consider using Aetheri Resolve instead of Abhorrent Iris and Aetheri Oath instead of Vengeful Skull for faster dungeon clears.

Aetheri Resolve

70% Shield Block

+20% Critical Chance ✦ +20% Dodge Cooldown Reduction

Receive double the amount of rage stacks when blocking.

Aetheri Oath

+200% Critical Damage ✦ +30% Ultimate Charging

Spending resources grants 18% critical chance to the party until their next critical hit.

✦ How to Acquire

Aetheri Resolve can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs. Aetheri Oath is crafted at the blacksmith using the Wooden Carving that is obtained by completing Wodania's chapter 5.

W Vortex Blade

Blight Level ✦ Up to ~45

Character ✦ Malborys, any warrior with Taunting Roar

Difficulty ✦ Medium

Stats ✦ VIT WILL LUK

Bots ✦ Yes

You can consistently pull enemies together, dealing decent damage and lifesteal in the process.

Vortex Blade

135 Weapon Power

+600 Health ✦ +100% Skill Damage ✦ Slow on basic attacks

Attacking with 2 Rage Stacks pulls in enemies.

The Pull is what makes the entire build. The extra health gives safety when pulling enemies in, and the slow on basic attacks is helpful to keep the pulled enemies clumped up for longer.

Abhorrent Iris

70% Shield Block

+600 Health ✦ +50% Nemesis Damage

Blocking reduces up to 8 seconds on active cooldowns.

The cooldown reduction is important to keep enemies attacking you through Taunting Roar, which gives the necessary rage stacks to pull. The extra health gives safety when pulling enemies in, and the nemesis damage is helpful in single target encounters.

Lightning Charm

+50% Exploit Damage ✦ +20% Critical Chance

Dealing damage has a 3% chance of striking enemies with lightning for extra damage.

Since the pull also damages enemies, it makes so the build has a good chance to proc the lightning damage as long as there are enough enemies to supply rage stacks. There's great value to be had from exploit damage since Vortex Blades makes so basic attacks slow enemies, and the critical chance is helpful to achieve enough healing with the 5% lifesteal.

Potent Antivenom

+500 Health ✦ +5% Lifesteal ✦ +80% Skill Damage

Shadow Statue heals allies.

The extra health combined with the health given by other items makes the warrior survive burst damage that they wouldn't be able to survive otherwise, which is very likely to happen when pulling a crowd of enemies. The lifesteal keeps the warrior healthy while they get the necessary rage stacks.

✦ How to Acquire

Vortex Blade, Abhorrent Iris and Lightning Charm can all be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs. Potent Antivenom is obtained by completing Seirinne's chapter 5.

✦ Advice

✧ If the quantity of enemies is overwhelming, don't hesitate in retreating away from enemies while holding shield. You can also use the extra range given by Awaken Ancient to stay out of enemy range if necessary.

✧ This build has good AoE damage but terrible single target damage, always fight as many enemies as possible.

✧ Taunting Roar grants i-frames on cast, use those seconds of invulnerability to safely hit enemies and lifesteal from them.

✧ Starting from Blight Level ~30, it is not recommended to try tanking enemies if you don't have Awaken Ancient active.

✦ Disclaimer

The greatest value you can get from this build is from when your party has mages that don't have Gravity Well, such as Korrus or Nilbous.

If you think your team already has enough AoE damage, you can use Titan Essence combined with a trinket that grants tank stats such as Dokalt's Ring or Vengeful Skull for better survivability.

Titan Essence

10% Damage Reduction ✦ 8% Lifesteal

Heals the party when a mana orb is collected.

Dokalt's Ring

+600 Health ✦ +15% Cooldown Reduction

Casts Reversal Shield on the wearer when Health is lower than 40%.

Vengeful Skull

+500 Health ✦ +10% Damage Reduction ✦ +60% Nemesis Damage

Third basic attack shoots a projectile.

✦ How to Acquire

Titan Essence can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs. Dokalt's Ring is obtained by completing Mouse's chapter 5. Vengeful Skull is obtained by completing Blighrifts.

W M'Waan's Moon

Blight Level ✦ Any

Character ✦ Karrogh, any warrior with Bull Charge

Difficulty ✦ Medium

Stats ✦ >WILL< AGI

Bots ✦ No

You can make yourself and teammates invulnerable for indefinite amounts of time if you use your dashes correctly.

Sun's Restoration

101 Weapon Power

+80% Critical Damage ✦ +30% Ultimate Charging

Lawbringer summons two phalanxes.

Any sword can be used in this build, but since you won't have any significant tank stats Sun's Restoration is the one you're more likely to get any value from. Summon the phalanxes when both teammates are downed to distract enemies while you revive. If you plan on using Creen for this build, use another sword since he doesn't have Lawbringer.

M'Waan's Moon

70% Shield Block

+100% Skill Damage ✦ +30% Ultimate Charging

Hitting allies with dashes and charges gives you and them i-frames for 2 seconds.

The invulnerability is what this entire build is about. The skill damage might be useful in lower Blight Levels, and the ultimate charging from both MM and SR allows you to charge Lawbringer pretty fast.

The Ward

+400 Health ✦ +25% Movespeed

If HP is over 50%, grants 30% Cooldown Reduction.

The huge amount of cooldown reduction is necessary to have a lower enough cooldown on Bull Charge to have the permanent invulnerability, if you're playing the build correctly it's unlikely that you'll have less than 50% HP. The movespeed helps with positioning yourself to hit your shift dashes.

Tergaron's Truth

+100% Skill Damage ✦ +20% Ultimate Damage ✦ +20% Cooldown Reduction

Chance to not spend resources when using your class ability.

The cooldown reduction pushes Bull Charge's cooldown through the threshold necessary for the permanent invulnerability, while still having some tenths of a second to spare. The skill damage might be useful in lower Blight Levels.

✦ How to Acquire

Sun's Restoration is crafted at the blacksmith using the Sun Shards that are obtained by completing all Kromn's chapters. M'Waan's Moon can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs. The Ward is obtained by completing Ezzouhn's chapter 5. Tergaron's Truth is obtained by completing Blighrifts.

✦ Advice

✧ You need to intertwine your shift dashes and Bull Charges at the correct timing to have permanent uptime on the invulnerability. Make your teammates aware of this so they can try to make it easier for you to hit them when the time comes.

✧ Using this build is a team effort, if your teammates move around too much or keep standing on top of slow pools it might make so the build doesn't reach it's full potential.

✧ Karrogh is the recommended warrior for this build since he has extra Bull Charges, which gives some room for mistakes.

✦ Disclaimer

You can use a cheaper version of this build that can achieve the same results. Maiden's Crown, The Ward, Tergaron's Vision and 10 Will are the bare minimum.

Maiden's Crown

65% Shield Block

+80% Skill Damage

Hitting allies with dashes and charges gives you and them i-frames for 2 seconds.

Tergaron's Vision

+80% Skill Damage ✦ +12% Cooldown Reduction

Chance to not spend resources when using your class ability.

✦ How to Acquire

Maiden's Crown and Tergaron's Vision can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs.

A Lightning Charm

Blight Level ✦ Any

Character ✦ Scarlet, skills with multiple instances of damage.

Difficulty ✦ Medium

Stats ✦ WILL LUK AGI

Bots ✦ Yes, but only on BLs ~25 or lower

Your skills have long cooldowns but hit like a truck. An ally that can pull enemies raises tremendously the value of this build.

Sunset

100 Weapon Power

+200% Critical Damage ✦ +100% Skill Damage

Killing enemies with Death from Above casts Deck of Daggers against nearby enemies.

The critical damage given by both Sunsets pair well with the critical chance given by the Lightning Charms. The skill damage raises the damage of the lightning even further since the lightning uses the damage done by the hit that procc'ed it to calculate its own damage.

Lightning Charm

+50% Exploit Damage ✦ +20% Critical Chance

Dealing damage has a 3% chance of striking enemies with lightning for extra damage.

The critical chance makes sense with the critical damage given by the daggers. The exploit damage will have good value if you're paired with allies that can pull enemies since all current pull builds apply debuffs to enemies. The passive is what makes this build what it is.

✦ How to Acquire

Both Sunset and Lightning Charm can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs.

✦ Advice

✧ Having 6% chance to proc lightning may not seem like much but with skills that have multiples instances of damage such as Chakram, Smoke Bomb and Meatgrinder it's very unlikely you won't see the value it has. Since Scarlet has all of the above, she is the recommended assassin for this build.

✧ An ally that can pull enemies makes this build reach its full potential, make your allies aware of what your build does so they pull enemies into your skills and not the opposite.

✧ The build has no cooldown reduction so your skill cooldowns are long. Knowing this, take your time to aim your skills carefully. It's also smart to wait for the cooldowns to come back before triggering encounters.

✧ Make sure to use Expose Weakness Cancels to charge your ultimate faster, Expose Weakness' damage is also a great source of single target damage, which the build doesn't have that much of.

✦ Disclaimer

If your allies don't have a pull or you feel like you need more cooldown reduction, consider changing one of the Sunsets to a Titan Skinner. Using one combined with proper Expose Weakness Cancels can more than halve cooldowns in your skills.

Titan Skinner

100 Weapon Power

+100% Ultimate Damage ✦ +100% Backstab Damage

Using Expose Weakness with 3 combo points reduces active cooldowns by 2 seconds.

If you prefer a more ranged approach, you can change one of the Sunsets for a Skullpiercer, just be aware that you won't be able to EWC with one equipped.

Skullpiercer

100 Weapon Power

+30% Critical Chance ✦ +15% Cooldown Reduction

Expose Weakness becomes a ranged attack that costs 1 combo point to use.

✦ How to Acquire

Both Titan Skinner and Skullpiercer can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs.

A Lightning Strikes

Blight Level ✦ Any

Character ✦ Wodania

Difficulty ✦ Medium

Stats ✦ LUK AGI PWR

Bots ✦ Yes

You can do absurds amounts of single target damage, with an ally that can pull enemies you can also do great AoE damage.

Bloodrain

100 Weapon Power

+200% Critical Damage ✦ +100% Backstab Damage

Hitting enemies from the front spawns a shadow clone to deal extra backstab damage.

Since Lightning Strikes can do backstab damage the stats on this dagger means up to ~+300% damage in your ult. The shadow clone can be useful to destroy tentacle traps and bonewalls faster.

Titan Skinner

100 Weapon Power

+100% Ultimate Damage ✦ +100% Backstab Damage

Using Expose Weakness with 3 combo points reduces active cooldowns by 2 seconds.

Gives +200% damage to Lightning Strikes. If you can consistently perform Expose Weakness Cancels, Titan Skinner is the dagger with the most ult charge potential. The extra rolls combined with the i-frames from Lightning Strikes and the stealth from Smoke Bomb allows for a very effective and safe playstyle.

Aetheri Oath

+200% Critical Damage ✦ +30% Ultimate Charging

Spending resources grants 18% critical chance to the party until their next critical hit.

The critical damage and ultimate charging are perfect for this build. The passive is just the cherry on top.

Chaos Seeker

+30% Skill Damage ✦ +100% Ultimate Damage ✦ +75% Exploit Damage

Enemies killed by you will explode, doing damage to nearby enemies.

If you have an ally that can pull enemies, this item will give the AoE damage that this build lacks. The ultimate damage and exploit damage gives even more damage to Lightning Strikes.

✦ How to Acquire

Bloodrain is crafted at the blacksmith using the dagger Bloodslick that is obtained by completing Scarlet's chapter 5. Titan Skinner can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs. Aetheri Oath is crafted at the blacksmith using the Wooden Carving that is obtained by completing Wodania's chapter 5. Chaos Seeker is obtained by completing Blighrifts.

✦ Advice

✧ Cancelling Expose Weakness is extremely important to unleash this build's full potential, with it you can charge your ult extremely fast.

✧ Since this build has almost none skill damage, keep your Smoke Bomb for things such as removing aggro from yourself or the mage, getting combo points and reviving teammates safely.

✦ Disclaimer

Since Bu's passive doesn't give critical chance like Wodania's she won't get as much value out of all the critical damage, I recommend using a different build on her.

If you're playing with bots or with teammates that don't have a pull, I recommend changing the Chaos Seeker for a Blighted Compedium. With it, you'll deal more damage with Expose Weakness and charge ult faster.

Blighted Compedium

+10% Damage Reduction ✦ +30% Ultimate Damage ✦ +40% Ultimate Charging

Increases your resource maximum by 3.

Since Eye of Kriusz is just a slightly weaker Chaos Seeker, you can use it instead if you have it.

Eye of Kriusz

+100% Ultimate Damage ✦ +50% Exploit Damage

Enemies killed by you will explode, doing damage to nearby enemies.

✦ How to Acquire

Blighted Compedium is obtained by completing Blighrifts. Eye of Kriusz can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs.

A Zerrish's Nuke

Blight Level ✦ Up to ~30

Character ✦ Bu, any assassin with Death from Above.

Difficulty ✦ Medium

Stats ✦ WILL AGI PWR

Bots ✦ Yes, but only on BLs ~25 or lower

Situationally obliterate enemies.

Sunset

100 Weapon Power

+200% Critical Damage ✦ +100% Skill Damage

Killing enemies with Death from Above casts Deck of Daggers against nearby enemies.

In this build, it's passive is really important. Keep in mind that it may cast multiples Deck of Daggers at the same time if you manage to kill multiple enemies with a single Death from Above, it's also important to know that Sunset's DoD doesn't has a target limit unlike regular DoD and that you can proc it by "killing" boxes.

Zerrish's Contortion

100 Weapon Power

+50% Nemesis Damage ✦ +30% Ultimate Charging

Changes Deck of Daggers to throw a singular explosive dagger.

Usually it's passive is not that interesting, but with Sunset removing the target limit, the explosive dagger can be cast on every nearby enemy through Death from Above.

Lightning Charm

+50% Exploit Damage ✦ +20% Critical Chance

Dealing damage has a 3% chance of striking enemies with lightning for extra damage.

If you can kill three or more enemies with one DfA, Lightning Charm will make so the enemies hit have a good chance to die, creating a chain reaction.

✦ How to Acquire

Both Sunset, Zerrish's Contortion and Lightning Charm can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs.

✦ Advice

✧ Always keep on the look out for boxes and maggots, those two are usually the things guaranteed to die to a single Death from Above.

✧ Map knowledge helps a great deal in using this build since some encounters will spawn where boxes were previously, making so if you broke the boxes you won't have that resource to proc Sunset's passive.

✧ Letting your team know how the build works might be helpful, lest they break your precious boxes.

✧ Make sure to use Expose Weakness Cancels to charge your ultimate faster, Expose Weakness' damage is also a great source of single target damage, which the build doesn't have that much of.

M Library

Blight Level ✦ Any

Character ✦ Roland, mages with Gravity Well and Summon Spirit

Difficulty ✦ Hard

Stats ✦ WILL PWR AGI

Bots ✦ Yes

You can summon an army of books to blast your foes.

Emits Oxxuxxo's Time

140 Weapon Power

+100% Skill Damage ✦ +15% Cooldown Reduction

Gravity Well doubles attack speed of allies within its range.

The "allies" in the passive includes books, making so Gravity Well ~doubles your book damage. The attack speed also benefits the mage, making so he gets more basic attacks in a short period of time, which means more mana orbs spawned. The 15% cooldown reduction is helpful in reducing Gravity Well's cooldown.

Underhold Shackles

+10% Damage Reduction ✦ Slow on basic attacks

Remove 5 seconds on active cooldowns when you collect a mana orb.

The cooldown removal helps with making sure EOT attack speed buff is always up. The cooldown removal also includes teleport, meaning you can teleport into danger to grab a mana orb and then immediately teleport out which will save your life many times. The slow on basic attacks helps making so enemies pulled stay clumped up for longer.

Grimoire of Blight

+100% Ultimate Damage ✦ +9% Cooldown Reduction

Basic attacks have a 5% chance of spawning a mana orb upon damaging an enemy.

The 9% cooldown reduction helps a bit. The passive is why the grimoire is here, 5% may not seem like a lot but keep in mind that every enemy hit is another roll at the chance, and the amount of attack speed you'll have means that you can basically double the amount of mana orbs spawned during a match. Books aren't affected by ultimate damage.

Ring of the Cimma's Folk

+750 Health ✦ +100% Ultimate Damage ✦ +20% Exploit Damage

Receive extra attack speed for 3 seconds when you collect a mana orb.

The extra health might allow you to survive a knife hit from Sneaky Wretches which may be the difference between victory or defeat. Both damage stats don't affect books so we don't really care about them. The extra attack speed is the reason this trinket is here, you spawn more mana orbs with the grimoire and collect them to get attack speed with RotCF to spawn even more mana orbs.

✦ How to Acquire

Emits Oxxuxxo's Time is obtained by completing Kujuk's chapter 5. Underhold Shackles and Grimoire of Blight can both be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs. Ring of the Cimma's Folk is obtained by completing Blightrifts.

✦ Advice

✧ Mana orbs give ult charge to the entire party when collected, the one who collects gets a bit extra ult charge. With this build you want to always be spawning mana orbs and collecting them yourself, all the while spamming Heal Beam, Teleport, Summon Spirit and Gravity Well.

✧ Books will despawn when your party changes rooms. Heal Beam gives 10% Ult Charge per party member/survivor healed. Knowing both these things, if your party needs healing after the last encounter in a room and you have Summon Spirit fully charged, wait for the next room to heal them. That way, you can use Summon Spirit before healing them for more ult charge, making so you have a head start with books in that room.

✧ If you have a good amount of books you can use them to block lasers by running away from the laser source, making so they stand between you and the laser.

✧ You can pull enemies away with Gravity Well and slow them with Underhold Shackles, if there's no enemies with ranged attacks you'll have enough time to revive a party member.

✧ Be careful in closed spaces and when near walls, teleport tends to be wonky in those situations.

✦ Disclaimer

Currently, there's a bug that makes so Underhold Shackles cooldown removal is disabled when you're not the host. The host is decided based on who was the first of the three to be in the party. You can check if you're the host or not by looking at the bottom of the screen while in-game, if you're the host it will be written "Host" above the game version.

If you can't make sure you're the one hosting you might want to use a Seal of the Forlorn (or it's weaker version, Seal of the Banished) instead of the Underhold Shackles.

Seal of the Forlorn

+30% Skill Damage ✦ +100% Ultimate Damage ✦ +60% Nemesis Damage

Triggering your ultimate removes all active cooldowns.

Seal of the Banished

+80% Ultimate Damage ✦ +40% Nemesis Damage

Triggering your ultimate removes all active cooldowns.

Since Hollow Ring is just a slightly weaker Ring of the Cimma's Folk, you can use it instead if you have it.

Hollow Ring

+600 Health ✦ +100% Ultimate Damage

Receive extra attack speed for 3 seconds when you collect a mana orb.

✦ How to Acquire

Seal of the Forlorn is obtained by completing Blightrifts. Both Seal of the Banished and Hollow Ring can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs.

M Reversal Shield

Blight Level ✦ Any

Character ✦ Tek'ka, any mage with Reversal Shield

Difficulty ✦ Easy

Stats ✦ WILL AGI

Bots ✦ Yes, but only if BL is ~25

You can potentially keep your entire party invulnerable almost permanently, with minimal risk.

Blightbane

99 Weapon Power

+500 Health ✦ +24% Critical Chance

Casting Reversal Shield also spawns a barrier at your feet.

The barrier that is spawned at your feet will protect anyone standing within it's range, meaning that you can shield an ally and have another standing in the barrier with you, which gives invulnerability to the entire party. The low weapon power means that your heals will be low unless you crit heal, which Tek'ka can consistently do through his passive.

Underhold Shackles

+10% Damage Reduction ✦ Slow on basic attacks

Remove 5 seconds on active cooldowns when you collect a mana orb.

Since the other trinkets and 10 Will lowers the cooldown of Reversal Shield to 3.6s, it means that with Underhold Shackles you can collect a mana orb right after Reversal Shield ends to remove it's cooldown and cast it gain. Slow on basic attacks is useful to keep enemies that were pulled in with Gravity Well clumped up for longer.

The Ward

+400 Health ✦ +25% Movespeed

If HP is over 50%, grants 30% Cooldown Reduction.

Considering you are almost always invulnerable you won't get as much value from the health and damage reduction this build grants, but it also means it's very unlikely for you to be under half health so you'll always have The Ward's huge cooldown reduction.

Tergaron's Truth

+100% Skill Damage ✦ +20% Ultimate Damage ✦ +20% Cooldown Reduction

Chance to not spend resources when using your class ability.

The skill damage, combined with Tek'ka's passive, and Blightbane's crit chance gives this build a speck of damage. This trinket is here because of the cooldown reduction it provides.

✦ How to Acquire

Blightbane is crafted at the blacksmith using the Blight Crystals that are obtained by completing all Tek'ka's chapters. Underhold Shackles can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs. The Ward is obtained by completing Ezzouhn's chapter 5. Tergaron's Truth is obtained by completing Blightrifts.

✦ Advice

✧ While Reversal Shield is active, make sure to try your best to spawn mana orbs to remove it's cooldown with Underhold Shackles.

✧ To position your barrier at the best spot possible you need to pull enemies, stand on one side horizontally in relation to the pulled enemies and shield your ally in the opposite side. If your party is positioning themselves optimally, it will make so the assassin is backstabbing enemies on one side, with the warrior bringing enemies' attention to the other, while everyone is protected.

✧ You can also play safe by positioning your barrier for one of your teammates while casting Reversal Shield on another, while you teleport away to be as far as possible from combat.

✦ Disclaimer

Currently, there's a bug that makes so Underhold Shackles cooldown removal is disabled when you're not the host. The host is decided based on who was the first of the three to be in the party. You can check if you're the host or not by looking at the bottom of the screen while in-game, if you're the host it will be written "Host" above the game version.

If you can't make sure you're the one hosting you might want to use a Seal of the Forlorn (or it's weaker version, Seal of the Banished) instead of the Underhold Shackles.

Seal of the Forlorn

+30% Skill Damage ✦ +100% Ultimate Damage ✦ +60% Nemesis Damage

Triggering your ultimate removes all active cooldowns.

Seal of the Banished

+80% Ultimate Damage ✦ +40% Nemesis Damage

Triggering your ultimate removes all active cooldowns.

✦ How to Acquire

Seal of the Forlorn is obtained by completing Blightrifts. Seal of the Banished can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs.

M Ultimate Battery

Blight Level ✦ Any

Character ✦ Korrus

Difficulty ✦ Easy

Stats ✦ WILL

Bots ✦ Yes, up until BL ~25

You live to spawn mana orbs, you breath mana orbs. An ally that can pull enemies raises tremendously the value of this build.

Sunstruck Staff

122 Weapon Power

+80% Skill Damage ✦ +24% Critical Chance

Reversal Shield grants extra attack speed to the one shielded.

The extra attack speed combined with Korrus' passive and the trinkets makes so you can spawn absurd amounts of mana orbs.

Grimoire of Blight

+100% Ultimate Damage ✦ +9% Cooldown Reduction

Basic attacks have a 5% chance of spawning a mana orb when an enemy is damaged.

Both grimoires add up to 10% chance of spawning a mana orb per instance of damage, the more enemies you can hit with your basic attacks, the better.

Ring of the Cimma's Folk

+750 Health ✦ +100% Ultimate Damage ✦ +20% Exploit Damage

Receive extra attack speed for 3 seconds when you collect a mana orb.

Collect a mana orb to get more attack speed to spawn EVEN MOOORE mana orbs.

✦ How to Acquire

Both Sunstruck Staff and Grimoire of Blight can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs. Ring of the Cimma's Folk is obtained by completing Blightrifts.

✦ Advice

✧ An ally that pulls enemies will make so your basic attacks hit as many enemies as possible, pushing this build towards it's full potential.

✧ The amount of mana orbs you can spawn with this build makes so you and your teammates can spam ult to power through the level. Make sure to let them know they can do this, otherwise they might keep rationing ult by habit.

✧ It's also important to let your teammates know that they get more ult charge by collecting the mana orbs themselves. Don't forget you still have to collect at least one mana orb every 3 seconds to proc RotCF's passive.

✦ Disclaimer

This build still works to a lesser degree when used by other mages, I still strongly recommend using Korrus.

Since Hollow Ring is just a slightly weaker Ring of the Cimma's Folk, you can use it instead if you have it.

Hollow Ring

+600 Health ✦ +100% Ultimate Damage

Receive extra attack speed for 3 seconds when you collect a mana orb.

✦ How to Acquire

Hollow Ring can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs.

Enemies aggroed onto you take 20% more damage from allies.

In this comp Karrogh plays the same way it is explained in the "M'Waan's Moon" build. But, in this scenario, it is in Karrogh's best interest to try landing some attacks on the enemy the books are focusing to get aggro and proc Friendship's passive.

Wodania ✧ Keeping your Smoke Bomb always active in a position where Roland can take advantage of it takes highest priority. Do your best to stay within Roland's Heal Beam range. Try to keep Expose Weakness' debuff on the enemy the books are focusing on.

Roland ✧ Do your best to blink right after receiving Karrogh's bubble and avoid blinking if Karrogh is about to bubble you. Try to always stay within Smoke Bomb's range. Communicating when and where you are going to blink may be helpful for the warrior player.

✦ Advice

Karrogh ✧ Grab mana orbs to charge your ult, keep in mind that you can grab mana orbs mid ult when appropriate. Try to keep your aura on top of your teammates when possible. Do your best to stand within Smoke Bomb's range while doing everything previously mentioned.

Bu ✧ Use your Smoke Bomb on top of enemies to buff Karrogh while he Lawbringers. Use your basic attacks against groups of frozen enemies to spawn mana orbs. It's important to know that you can have permanent stealth by spamming Death from Above without using it to hit enemies, use this information to revive teammates.

Kujuk ✧ Your job is to pull and freeze enemies for as long as possible, while auto attacking them to spawn mana orbs and to reduce cooldowns through your passive. Keep in mind Cryoblast Shot has diminishing returns after being used consecutively against the same enemy, so you need to time it right to get the most of it.

Kromn ✧ Hard

Scarlet ✧ Medium

Korrus ✧ Easy

✦ Stats

Kromn ✧ >WILL< AGI

Scarlet ✧ LUK AGI PWR

Korrus ✧ WILL

Kromn pulls enemies and protects Scarlet, who will be spamming all of her skills, while Korrus gives her ult charge through mana orbs.

✦ Kromn

Hacking Blade

102 Weapon Power

+30% Exploit Damage

Lava Stomp now pulls in enemies.

In this comp Kromn plays the same way it is explained in the "M'Waan's Moon" build. But, since he has Lava Stomp he will also be in charge of pulling enemies with the Hacking Blade, the pull has ~double the range Lava Stomp has. This build is very hard to play since the window to use Lava Stomp is VERY small, unless you risk dropping the bubble on Scarlet momentarily. The only moment you can use Lava Stomp without dropping the bubble is after your shift dash.

✦ Scarlet

Seal of the Forlorn

+30% Skill Damage ✦ +100% Ultimate Damage ✦ +60% Nemesis Damage

Triggering your ultimate removes all active cooldowns.

In this comp Scarlet plays mostly the same way it is explained in the "Lightning Charm" build, she will have an easier time and end up doing more damage than on the LC build since her teammates are supporting her. The Seal of the Forlorn will be able to reset her skill cooldowns which will end up proccing the lightning more often than if there was two Lightning Charms.

✦ Korrus

In this comp Korrus plays the same way it is explained in the "Ultimate Battery" build.

✦ How to Acquire

Hacking Blade can be crafted at the blacksmith or dropped during dungeon runs. Seal of the Forlorn is obtained by completing Blightrifts.

✦ Advice

Kromn ✧ Focus on protecting Scarlet and on pulling enemies. You don't really have the time to use Lawbringer, ideally it should only be used if both Scarlet and Korrus are downed, as a last resort.

Scarlet ✧ Spam your skills and ult, trying to hit as many enemies as possible. Avoid using your roll to make it easier for Kromn to bubble you. Grab as many mana orbs as you can, if everything goes well you should be able to stack up to ~5 meatgrinders.

Korrus ✧ Use your bubble mostly on yourself for the attack speed, but don't hesitate in using it on teammates if necessary.

✦ Disclaimer

Korrus using Blightbane instead of Sunstruck Staff might be a good idea, it will make him spawn less mana orbs but will offer Kromn some room for mistakes.

+80% Ultimate Damage ✦ +80% Backstab Damage

Your basic attacks will now poison enemies.

The poison procs Triss' passive, keep in mind the poison stacks and every instance of poison will proc Triss' passive again. If you hit multiple enemies with you basic attacks you'll heal for a lot, with Kujuk pulling enemies this shouldn't be hard to achieve.

Kujuk ✧ Prioritize keeping Creen and Triss healthy over anything else. Pull and freeze enemies for as long as possible, while auto attacking them to spawn mana orbs and to reduce cooldowns through your passive.

✦ Advice

Creen ✧ Be careful, since you don't have any tank items you will be very squishy. Go in only when bubbled. It's important to get rage stacks since they make up for a huge chunk of your damage, you can get rage stacks while bubbled but not while you have i-frames. Always keep Awaken Ancient and Battle Call up.

Bu ✧ Use your Smoke Bomb to buff Creen and to damage enemies in an AoE, guaranteeing that every enemy will be affected by your passive's DOT. It's important to know that you can have permanent stealth by spamming Death from Above without using it to hit enemies, use this information to revive teammates.

Tek'ka ✧ Focus on keeping Creen alive. Communicating when you can/will use your bubble might be helpful for the warrior player.
