How it Works

This build utilizes Way of the Stonefist to allow Lochtonial Caress to generate power charges for ourselves. This works because we are the ally of our illusions, allowing them to generate us plenty of charges. We spend these charges on Hollow Form to summon loads of illusions to clear screens of enemies and destroy bosses. We also spend them on Charge Regulation to become insanely tanky and gain even more damage. This is one of the strongest league start builds ever.
