Core Loop

  1. Opening (tempo): Hunt bounce/chain slots; clear side lanes first
  2. Mid game (resource trading): Abuse corners to multiply bounces
  3. End game/Boss (window management): Boss at ~0.75–1 screens; avoid face-check

Tip: create a safe window via control or mobility before bursting. If mana/stamina is tight, prioritize loop-sustain slots first.

Core Components (Trinkets / Rituals / Inspirations)

We use functional slots so you can swap equivalents across patches.

Key Trinkets

  • Slot A: Extra bounces/chain cap
  • Slot B: On-hit mana/CD relief
  • Alternates: Shield/blink

Key Rituals

  • Core Ritual: Extra arcs or overload
  • Support Ritual: Crowd ramp

Key Inspirations

  • Offense: Spell crit/multi-hit
  • Defense: Shield/instant move
  • Mobility: Cast → brief haste

Priority: loop sustain ≥ defensive forgiveness ≥ pure damage. Shift to burst once clears are stable.

Execution Details

  • Starting distance & angles: Mid–long S-curve pathing
  • Defensive reactions: Bank a mobility charge for telegraphs
  • Strings & finishers: Arc trash → stack charges → dump burst

Enemy Types & Boss Strategy

  • Dashers: sidestep and tag with slow/CC; avoid straight retreats.
  • Shielded/High Poise: break poise/vulnerability before bursting.
  • Ranged clumps: use corners to split; delete throwers first.
  • Multi-phase bosses: control → 2–3 bursts → reset.
  • High-mobility bosses: shorten commits; lengthen control chains.

Progression (Unlocks / Resources)

  • Unlock first: Mana/CD relief first
  • Resource allocation: Mana/CD > raw damage
  • Event priority: Pick bounce/on-hit events
  • Map tips: set control at chokes, clear outward; kill ranged/summoners first; enter bosses with a complete loop.

Co-op Synergies & Counters

  • Best partners: Frost partners let chains land fully
  • Countered by: Lightning-resist elites or sprinters
  • Counterplay: Add hard CC or pivot to single-target

Advanced Variants

  • Variant A: Single-target pivot
  • Variant B: Pure clear-speed
  • When to swap: Swap when bosses resist chains

Common Mistakes & Debug

  • Over-commit opener → remember “two hits then half-step back”.
  • Ignore stagger windows → control first, then strings.
  • Too little armor/poise → add 1–2 defensive slots.
  • Starve sustain for DPS → target a 2:1 DPS:sustain cadence.
  • Disrespect boss phases → disengage on long telegraphs.

FAQ

Q1. Is this build beginner-friendly?
A. Tricky for newcomers—try Rune Summoner or Frost Control first.

Q2. Solo or duo—where does it shine?
A. Top synergy with frost control.

Q3. Should I change setup for bosses?
A. Keep one mobility charge for big tells; don't greed the last cast.

A. After you stabilize mana and hit density.
