Demolition Man - CDR Stacking Gemling

Updated on Jul 5, 2026
Jul 5, 2026

Build Overview

... He doesn't know how to use the Three Shells, but he does know how to shoot unlimited of them.

Build is a CDR Stacking Gemling using Redemption with Explosive Grenade with +20% Quality, resulting in 3x Mirage Archer and 4x Mortar Cannon getting the benefits of the unique and spamming out unlimited grenades during the Explosive Fervour.

You'll want to get to about 340% CDR on Grenades for things to feel smooth.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Crazy AoE
  • Passive Damage from Dodge and Mortars
  • Versatile (Can switch out grenades for some utility like slow etc)
  • Uses some cool uniques
  • Squishy! Don't get hit by anything big. You can soak small hits with Golden Charm of type Bear.
  • Vision! Wear Sunglasses (You'll look cool doing it so it's ok)

It might be worth testing out a triple damage ring instead of the mana stack one... I think it'd get to the point where it would just kill stuff a lot better and the dropped defence would feel fine.

Number of Skills

All the weird ones you see such as Ball Lightning and Spark are there to give more motes via Essence of Virtue, this is explained in the video, but basically it involved doing a one time set up wit some Unset Rings to achieve this. (Check the skills section of the video)

How it Plays

Run around dodging this will make lots of Mirage Archer, put down some Mortar Cannon, then just run around trying to see what's on the ground.

If you want to make things shoot fast just offload a bunch of Grenade shots.

If you want to make things shoot fast but slower, but also stun things shoot Flash Grenade

If you want to add some DPS, which also makes things shoot fast, well that's Explosive Grenade


Oh... and wear sunglasses.
