This guide is work in progress!

One of the strongest league starter! You can delete anything under seconds starting from level 31. Oil Barrage will take care from this point the single target damage and later when you have access tier 4 support gems it's become your clear skill as well.



0.5 changes


Oil Barrage deals 10% less damage BUT we got the new ascendancy and a nice QoL change. 100% playable and maybe even more broken! Salvo getting changed this is the QoL! Now every second you will gain a stack instead every 2 second. The additional projectiles not chaged!


Ascendancy order for now


  1. Way of the Stonefist
  2. Way of the Mountain
  3. Martial Adept
  4. Martial Master

As the 3rd node you can also just take Runic Meridians because you will not have Ailith's Chimes when you complete your 3rd trial.

Power generation

Early/mid game

  1. Devour. You can eat corpses or cull enmies with little blue blob on them.
  2. Lingering Illusion You will leave behind a clone of yourself and enemy will kill it and you can pick up the power charges.

Endgame

Ailith's Chimes You can generate combo with any attack and just press Spear Stab

How it Plays

Before oil barrage

  1. Rend will be you clear skill (early levels)
  2. Use Devour to gain power charges and it will empower your Rend
  3. If you dont have power charges (mostly in boss fights) Stagger the boss with your Rend and use Wing Blast to gain power charge.

Clear

You need to Dodge roll one time so the enemy can kill your Lingering Illusion and you will gain power charges (little blue dots on the ground)

Use Oil Barrage this will kill everything around you and you can use again Devour.


Single target

You don't have power charges:

  1. Dodge roll one time so the enemy can kill your Lingering Illusion and you will gain power charges (little blue dots on the ground)
  2. Ferocious Roar this is granting you rage and extra damage
  3. Oil Barrage the boss should be dead after a few second

You have power charges:

  1. Dodge roll one time in front of the the enemy so they can kill your Lingering Illusion and you will gain power charges (little blue dots on the ground)
  2. Ferocious Roar this is granting you rage and extra damage
  3. Oil Barrage
