Tips

- Hold down dodgeroll while rolling to initiate a sprint right after, keep holding (and stop using WASD) to direct your movement with the mouse cursor instead. Getting hit while sprinting will knock you down, so only use it when you can avoid getting hit

- Bow Shot for very early singletarget damage before you unlock the other skills

- Contagion is found in the Occult skill section and should be created and kept at level 1. It is good early and needed later

- While clearing packs of monsters, use Contagion first on an enemy, then target it with Poisonburst Arrow. Once it dies, Contagion will spread the poison to nearby enemies

- Vine Arrow for crowd control (CC) and more damage

- For bosses first use Stormcaller Arrow to apply 20% increased damage taken shock, then Vine Arrow on top of them. Afterwards keep using Poisonburst Arrow while trying to hit the Vine Arrow spud with the poison splash that happens after hitting the enemy
