Skills

恶魔抗性 图标恶魔抗性 can be used to increase survivability by maintaining Resistance, while 魔王炼狱 图标魔王炼狱 can increase your damage if sustain is not an issue.

Short Bow or a secondary Mace can be taken instead of Spear if you do not have access to Janthir Wilds (JW).

  • Only one weaponset provides lower damage and lacks Ranged damage, but a secondary Mace allows running additional sigils for damage.

午夜国王古物 图标午夜国王古物 can be replaced when needed, as its purpose is only to boost group boons that may already be abundant.
