Core Loop

  1. Opening (tempo): Pre-place runes at choke points; let summons take aggro
  2. Mid game (resource trading): Maintain multi-point pressure; thin waves safely
  3. End game/Boss (window management): Boss: restrict movement with runes; pick targets

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: Rune duration/radius
  • Slot B: Summon durability/count
  • Alternates: On-hit sustain

Key Rituals

  • Core Ritual: Double-proc runes or summon synergy
  • Support Ritual: Refresh on kill

Key Inspirations

  • Offense: Inside-area damage
  • Defense: Stationary shields
  • Mobility: Speed between rune zones

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

Execution Details

  • Starting distance & angles: Work from rune edges
  • Defensive reactions: Alternate placements to keep uptime
  • Strings & finishers: Rune → summon → main spell finish

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: Duration/radius first, then summon power
  • Resource allocation: Control > DPS > mobility
  • Event priority: Favor control-leaning 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: Shotgun/melee allies get guaranteed hits in rune fields
  • Countered by: High-mobility units that skip zones
  • Counterplay: Layer control or two-tier runes

Advanced Variants

  • Variant A: Summon-heavy comfort
  • Variant B: Spell-heavy speed
  • When to swap: If team DPS is high, go summon-heavy

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.
