Ascendacy

Gemling Legionnaire

Alt Quality on Gem with Advanced Thaumaturgy is build-enabler in many ways, we get good offensive power with 1 extra totem. Damage, or QoL on stuff like Cluster Grenade

Highly recommend you guys to turn on Dynamic Culling to play this smoothly. Also try Vulkan, I have great performance on it.
