How it Plays

  1. Use Brandish to mark enemies with Judgement.
  2. If they survive use Blessed Shield to pop the Judgement.
  3. Defiance Aura and Fanaticism Aura are mostly passive benefits but can be activated.
  4. Falling Star is used for mobility mostly.
  5. Fortress is used to become immune and can be used for additional damage as well.

How it Works

This build utilizes various synergies around Judgement power from Judicator.

  • Judicator itself allows enemies to be marked with Basic Skills such as Brandish.
  • Judicator also allows Core Skills such as Blessed Shield to "pop" the Judgement.
  • The Keystone Passive Judgement Day makes marked enemies mark un-marked enemies with Judgement when the Judgement explodes which allows for our crazy damage chains.
  • Aspect of the Golden Hour makes our Judgements detonate other Judgements.
  • Aspect of the Judicator increases our Judgement size which adds to the crazyness.
  • Castle allows for insane damage stacking through Armor stacking, which also improves survivability.
  • The rest of the kit just builds into damage, survivability, and mobility.

Changelog

  • Early-Mid tab added, additional details added to Early tab.
  • 1st draft created
