Low Skill Floor

Extremely satisfying

Weak to hit-stuns

The most intensive mechanic that you have to keep track of beyond the basic gameplay is the number of stacks of Time Rot your enemy has, which is really only relevant to boss fights as no other enemy is going to survive long enough for it to matter. But when you have 12 stacks of Time Rot on an enemy, the Final Hour 1/1 node doubles our damage. Every time you apply a stack of time rot, it replaces the oldest stack if you are at the cap of 12, which is very useful since time rots duration is a mere 3 seconds, which is pretty tight timing overall. Luckily there are nodes for time rot duration, and I am currently experimenting with using a time rot duration idol as well to make it more consistent.

Another important topic is Vengeance, this skill has replaced Rive in the build because it allows for increased survivability and generates void essences that help our damage and can be eaten to generate mana. To get the most out of the skill you need to spam it all the time between attacks, typically between your primary rotation, but unfortunately, the buff is only 2 seconds, so you cant keep it through your whole combo, that said, the buff for clearing and pushing corruption is worth it, and it allows you to survive a lot more reliably than Rive did.

I must stress that Void Cleave is NOT a movement skill in practice, it even echoes despite movement skills not being able to do that normally. The only sense in which it actually is a movement skill is that it procs the ability of Julra's Stardial. This necessitates you to take care when fighting bosses and position yourself intelligently, especially when you are still somewhat slow before you get your Darkstride.

While you are leveling, until you get a Darkstride drop, take the Nether Charge 1/1 node. Having two of both Void Cleave and Erasing Strike is important to your survivability and nuking potential.

You can step into monos right out of the campaign, and you should work on acquiring two Siphon of Anguish ASAP. These and Woven Flesh will carry you until you can get anApathy's Maw, at which point you will be in empowered monos and you can track down the rest of the pieces at your own pace.

If you have any questions, please let me know! This is my first time making a build guide, so its bound to be a little rough around the edges.
