How It Works

INTRO: This build excels at crowd control. Onslaught is a walk in the park; it's like a literal eraser, clearing out minors, majors and champs from the map. According to aegis himself, dead messenger out-DPS microcosm! (Don't believe me, check this clip: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx7NzP2dLsc8jeCoyT3ncrm40qROziPjTq )

LOOP: Kills while amplified blind enemies, and ionic traces give bolt charge and therefore the fundamentals weapon buff gets constantly refreshed. You can dodge-reload after nearly every shot, making it a rapid fire enemy eraser. Use special finisher for more ammo (and if lacking armor charges, simply use multimach or red tape with attrition orbs).

GEAR: 2-pieces adapter set + 2-pieces bushido, allowing for easy healing and DR. Craft dead messenger with relenting for more healing (or demo for a reload alternative), and put it in Arc mode.

STATS: Weapons as high as possible, class above 100 is recommended, rest doesn't matter.
