Passive Points Progression:

1. Get the initial big clusters near the start for damage, speed and lightning:

Harness the Elements, Surging Currents, Precision Salvo

2. Head all the way down to Dance with Death and grab Catalysis on the way.

- Now we have the new skill "cull the weak" (added in patch on 8/4/25) we no longer need to rely on parry and can remove our buckler, making Dance with Death a no brainer

3. Head further down and get the big spear cluster

How it Plays

This is a pure lighthing spear speed build. This has the highest movement speed and attack speed possible on a huntress, letting us absolutely tear through the entire campain. We can one shot monsters, destroy bosses and travel the map with tons of mobility.

How it Works

Most of our damage comes from Lightning Spear. So use that as our main attack for both single target and bosses. On bosses we jump in and use Primal Strikes to pop shock for big damage and make boss vulnerable to lightning damage.

Throw out 3 Storm Lance to generate electrocute on tough enemies - this gives us frenzy charges + tons more damage.

Use Disengage and Thunderous Leap for mobility, getting around the map and in and out of combat.

Buffs:

Keep Combat Frenzy up at all times to generate charges that empower our attacks

Switch between Herald of Thunder when travelling, this helps with big AoE and clearing the screen in seconds. Then bring out your Tame Beast on bosses for huge attack speed boost.
