Build Overview

Welcome to MrRonit's Ice/Lightning Hybrid build! This build specialises in being a DPS monster thanks to Ice Strike Charged Staff and Tempest Bell so you can nuke bosses in seconds making the entire campaign from Act 1-6 super easy! It's also a very agile class capable of destroying packs of enemies with ease!

Combat Frenzy with Resonance keystone in passive tree we can now generate power charges super easily! This means we can buff our weapons with lightning damage through Charged Staff allowing us to shock enemies on top and deal tonnes of damage!

The endgame version takes our DPS to stratospheric levels and keeps our energy shield + defences (Evasion + ES) very high allowing you to take on tier 15+ maps, pinnacle bosses with ease! With Herald of Ice and Herald of Thunder combined with the Polcirkeln ring we can clear entire screens in one click!

Update 5/1/25 Ultra Endgame Version: With Chaos Inoculation we have now made the defence of the build watertight! Immune to chaos damage means you no longer get 1 shot to random stuff and on top we have massive energy shield bonuses so you never die! Also we no longer need Polcirkeln thanks to Herald of Thunder and Herald of Ice Lightning Infusion + Cold Infusion tech! We can clear entire rooms without the unique ring!

I've split the guide into four sections which you need to click below in 'Build Variants'.

1) Level 1-14

2) Level 14 onwards

3) Endgame (Lvl 60+)

4) Ultra Endgame Chaos Inoculation (Lvl 85+)

Build Variants

This is before we unlock Ice Strike which is a level 5 skill gem. Here we use Glacial Cascade along with Frost Bomb to safely destroy enemies from a distance! Killing Palm along with Life Drain gives us a lot of health back and builds Power Charges which we can use with Falling Thunder to hit a devastating AoE attack!
